Chapter 812: Dong'er Injured

house, he realized this village was even poorer than other places.The impact of the drought is indeed severe, but villages outside haven't yet reached the point of digging up tree roots to eat. Almos...Xiao Yue's troubles were unknown to Dong'er and Yuanbao.

Yuanbao, who had never been out before, found everything on the street novel and amusing. His dark eyes widened with curiosity, and he held onto Dong'er's hand as they strolled from one small stall to another, peeking into shops along the way.

Dong'er doesn't talk much, but her manners are impeccable. Yuanbao ran to a stall selling wooden toys and picked up a small wooden sword. He was absolutely enamored with it, his eyes sparkling with delight.

The vendor had never seen such a cute young master before. His voice softened involuntarily when speaking to Yuanbao.

"Does the young master like wooden swords Just ten wen for one."

"The young master's swordsmanship is truly impressive!"

Xiao Yuanbao, after all, hadn't experienced much of the world. Someone praising him with two sentences made his cheeks flush red, and he arrogantly raised his chin.

He didn't speak to the street vendor, instead turning his head to tug at Dong Er's hand.

"Older brother, can I buy this"

Mother said that when going out, Yuanbao should listen to Brother Dong'er and Aunt Xiaoyue. Yuanbao kept it in mind, and if they didn't allow him to buy anything, he would put his sword back.

Dong'er picked up the wooden sword and took a closer look. It was made quite smoothly. Dong'er should be fine playing with it; there shouldn't be any danger.

He nodded after checking.

"Available for purchase."

With Dong'er's approval, Xiaoyue finally handed the money to the merchant.

Yuan Bao wasn't greedy either. Holding the small sword he liked, he started waving it around everywhere, overjoyed.

But as he turned around, a speeding carriage roared out of the side street and headed straight for Yuanbao.

Dong'er was so frightened that her face turned pale on the spot.

"Treasure, be careful!"

He dropped what he was holding and rushed over. Fortunately, Dong'er reacted quickly and pulled him back just as the carriage was about to hit Yuán Bǎo.

Dong'er fell to the ground because he wasn't standing steady, becoming a human cushion for Yuanbao. It was just autumn, and he only wore two thin layers of clothes. Dong'er had scraped off a layer of skin on his palms and elbows.

Yuanbao's eyes immediately welled up when he saw his brother injured.

"Brother Dong'er, are you alright You're bleeding!"

"Little Aunt Yue, quickly bring the hemostatic medicine!"

Little Yue hurriedly took out the wound medicine and treated Dong'er’s wound. These everyday necessities, Fang Jinshu would ask the servants to carry some with them when they went out, all in small packages for easy carrying.

Well, that actually comes in handy.

The carriage that hit someone still wanted to run, but Xiaoyue had already let the guards stop it.

She acted like a hen protecting her chicks, tending to Dong'er’s injury before angrily confronting him.

"You are too deceitful! You drive your carriages so recklessly in the crowded streets, nearly hitting my two young masters. Do you not even have the decency to apologize"

What's even more infuriating is that the people in the carriage haven't shown their faces yet.

The guards stopped the carriage, and the driver didn't say anything; he just pulled over.

But the people inside, didn't seem to intend to come out.

"Miss, if you don't want to die, get out of the way! Can't you see the crest on the carriage"

Xiaoyue, following Fang Jinshi to Beijing for the first time, didn't know what landmarks to look for. She glanced at the pattern on the carriage and felt a little puzzled. Then she turned her head to look at Dong'er, who had already stood up.

Before leaving, the mistress specially instructed them to keep a low profile and not cause trouble. What if there was some big shot in this carriage If she insisted on seeking justice for Young Master Dong'er, would it bring trouble to the mistress

Just as Xiaoyue was stunned, Dong'er had already taken a step ahead and walked to the carriage.

His small face was tightly clenched, his air pressure extremely low.

Though young, his presence was very intimidating.

"I don't care what this symbol represents, your carriage almost hurt my brother, you should apologize to him."

If he had reacted just a little slower, Dong'er would have been trampled and seriously injured, or even killed by the horse's hooves right now.

As soon as he thought of this, Dong'er trembled with anger and found it hard to forgive.

He had long considered his stepmother and Dong'er as his true family, and he would not allow anyone to harm them.

The people in the carriage weren't entirely oblivious to the outside world. The curtains were made of special material; from the outside, one couldn't see inside, but from the inside, one could clearly see out.

As soon as Dong'er appeared, the people in the carriage suddenly moved.

The curtain was lifted, and a hand reached out from inside, throwing a silver banknote onto Dong'er's face.

A cold, emotionless voice came from within.

"Get out."Zongping calmly refuted them, "What have we ever done to you two""If your family ever has a pair of ungrateful children like this, I wonder if you'll be able to stand and talk without feeling any pain...
