Chapter 17: Quibbling
Master Qin then walked out with his sleeves fluttering. The direction he was heading was obviously to file a complaint against Duke Ling.
Ling Tian then sat down on the chair that originally belonged to Master Qin and crossed his legs. He then put his hand on his chin, thinking about what he should do next.
Ling Zhen lay on the floor, groaning in pain with blood all over his face, unable to get up.
Ling Tian laughed in his heart: You want to lie here so you can trap me? Worry not! Ling Tian was very clear about how much power he used. This boy will suffer the most superficial injuries and there will be no serious injuries. The only reason he was still lying there was obviously to wait for Ling Zhan to come so that he could file a good complaint against Ling Tian!
Hehe, what a pity. Even though your plan wasn't too bad, you would never imagine that I only needed you to add fuel to the fire. Otherwise, how could I have any reason to expel all these teachers? Don't tell me I should let them stay here to waste my precious time? However, it was really fun to defeat this brat!
“Bold little trash!” Ling Zhan came with a cold wind in annoyance! The first thing he saw was Ling Tian who looked indifferently sitting on the teacher's chair with his legs crossed and Ling Zhen bleeding on the floor. Right then, he exploded in anger! Without saying anything more, he lifted Ling Tian up, turned his body and pressed his small body to the knee. “Pa! Pa! Pa!” Three loud slaps were then heard.
These three slaps were not light at all. As Ling Tian did not circulate his inner Qi to protect himself, his white butt immediately began to swell. Ling Zhan then hugged Ling Zhen from the floor and looked at his injuries.
Outside, a commotion rang out as Ling Xiao rushed in with a pale face! Behind him, Chu Ting’er ran for breath.
A while later, Ling's old mistress, Ling Kong, Sir Qin and the others all arrived. As they looked at the scene, they were all dumbfounded.
“Zhen’er!” When Ling Kong saw the state of his son, his face started to stiffen as he hugged his son in his chest. Then, he hurriedly called the servants to take his son away to take care of his injuries. After his son left, he looked towards Ling Tian with a sharp look in his eyes, as if he wanted to swallow Ling Tian in one gulp.
No one expected that the first lesson from the teachers living in the mansion would end in a fight! Seeing the chaos in the study room, everyone had an incredible expression on their faces! Chu Ting’er shouted softly before quickly covering his mouth with his hands, with a puzzled look in his eyes.
“You will make this old man mad to death! That bastard! Kneel!” Ling Zhan shouted with a rumbling sound, causing the snow gathered on the bamboo leaves outside to fall due to the tremors.
Ling Tian pouted and slowly got up from the teacher's seat, kneeling down reluctantly.
“Dad, Tian’er is young and cuek. This was the first time he was restricted like this; he was still not used to it. Please.” Chu Ting’er quickly stepped forward to plead with his son. But before he finished his sentence, he was interrupted by Ling Zhan.
“Since ancient times, a loving mother has always been the downfall of many children. Ting’er, Tian’er is only five years old! He actually attacked his cousin during class! Furthermore, he was even being rude to the teacher! Tian ‘ uh has already shown how naughty and naughty he is today. If we take it off just like that, the lives of everyone in the Ling family will be destroyed in his hands! You don't have to beg him today! ” Ling Zhan is completely unwilling to give an explanation. However, she could not ignore the fact that her daughter-in-law was defending her granddaughter. If his daughter-in-law could not see the severity of the matter and continued to pamper her son, this granddaughter of his would definitely be ruined!
Tears streamed down Chu Ting's face as he looked at his son kneeling on the floor. He stretched out his hand but did not dare to embrace her.
As Ling Xiao said, old mistress Ling replied, “As the saying goes, if a child is not properly taught, it is her father's fault. Ling Xiao, as the father of Tian’er, you are responsible for at least half of the problems that occurred today. How can you blame Ting’er? ” As she said that, she pulled Ting’er and said, “Ting’er, don't worry. Nothing wrong.” He then glared at Ling Zhan with a warning expression. It's obvious that he's trying to say: “Tua, if you're going to hurt my grandson today, I'll definitely teach you a lesson.”
Ling Tian naturally recorded all of this and laughed to himself. As he knelt on the floor, he lifted his neck and said, “Grandfather, grandson wants to say something.”
After a few heavy breaths, Ling Zhan's face finally became softer as he said, “Speak!”
Ling Tian then said, “Insiden today cannot be blamed on me!”
Ling Zhan then scolded, “You have beaten your brother Ling Zhen in such a way and it is not your fault?” He then laughed angrily, “Then when was it your fault? Don't tell me it'll only be your fault when she dies? Vile creature!”
Ling Tian then replied, “Grandfather, I of course have my own fault! But since this matter happened, there must be a reason behind it! If there is no reason, why should I beat him for no reason?”
Since Ling Zhan and Ling Xiao were burly men, they did not find anything strange about the statement. But Ling Kong who was at the side looked towards Ling Tian with a serious expression. Old madam Ling and Chu Ting’er also looked at each other with faces full of doubt! If those words were spoken from the mouths of adults, or even from Ling Zhen, they would not find it too strange. But Ling Tian was only five years old. Facing his grandfather's reprimand, he was actually not afraid in the slightest. The words he spoke were very logical, showing just how strange it was!
Ling Zhan then snorted, “Continue!” In fact, Ling Zhan also found this matter very strange. Although his own grandson was a little joking, he never treated the servants in the mansion badly. Instead, he took care of all the servants in the mansion. Why did he beat up his cousin to no avail? However, what he did not know was that the incident was all planned by Ling Tian so that he could avoid the suffering from the forced education of eating that his grandfather wanted to give him. As for Ling Zhen, he was Ling Tian's unlucky chess piece.
Ling Tian's face did not show the slightest trace of fear as he said calmly, “I must have made a mistake myself. Today, after knowing I would have so many teachers, the grandson felt very depressed. Right at that moment, Ling Zhen smiled at me. I thought he was mocking me, so I kicked him. It was my fault, and my only fault. The things that happened afterwards were something Ling Zhen deserved and I had no guilt in my heart. ”
Ling Zhan is so angry, “Oh? Little fucker! You beat up your cousin in such a way and you still sound as if you were right? Besides, Ling Zhen is your eldest cousin, the son of your second uncle. It's not polite for you to call his name directly! ”
Ling Tian then replied calmly, “First, when Ling Zhen came here, second uncle said that Ling Zhen is my study helper. Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom and second uncle can all be a testament! Since she is my study assistant, she is a subordinate. Being a young master, what harm is there in punishing my subordinates? ”
“You! Vile creature! You are just quibbling!” Ling Zhan grumbled! But he can't say anything. After all, Ling Zhen's arrangement of being a study officer was something that Ling Kong insisted on to ensure that Ling Tian and Ling Zhen's status was properly regulated. Everyone present heard Ling Kong say that. Although he knew that Ling Tian was just quibbling, Ling Zhan did not need to retaliate.
Ling Tian then continued, “Secondly, I cannot control my emotions and kick Ling Zhen once. I am very sorry and want to help him. But at that moment, Ling Zhen scolded me. Moreover, the words he used were simply too ugly. As a child in the Ling family, I could not stand the nagging associated with my parents and ancestors. So I beat him up with anger. ”
Everyone's face turned black. Really ugly? Related to his parents and ancestors? Ling Kong felt that something was wrong! If this brat keeps talking, then won't my son be beaten to no avail? Instead, he might even be wrong!
Before Ling Kong could stop Ling Tian, Ling Tian's shrill voice was already heard, “As Ling Tian tried to get up, he scolded, ‘Bags! You dare hit me!’” Ling Tian was actually imitating the cruel expression on Ling Zhen's face when he said it perfectly. “Master Qin can be a witness to this matter!”
