Chapter 116: It’s Really Her

A few minutes later.

“Are you telling the truth?” The baron looked at his daughter with disbelief.

“Dad, I didn’t know that Li Ziqi’s sister was a student of a holy magic tutor. If I had known, I wouldn’t have dared to trouble her at all…”

The girl was about to cry.

“Great! You’ve caused such a huge problem for the family. Just wait until I deal with you…”

“Dad, didn’t you say you wouldn’t hit me? Ah~ Ah~ Dad, please don’t hit me, I know I was wrong~”

A chilling scream echoed.

At the Baron’s Mansion.

Many people heard the young lady’s scream, but no one dared to step forward to offer advice.

Half an hour later.

The girl who had bullied her classmates at school was now beaten with a strap by the baron, leaving her covered in bruises.

“Tomorrow, bring gifts and find that classmate Li Ziqi, then kneel and apologize. If she doesn’t forgive you, I will personally beat you to calm her anger…”

Before dawn the next day, the baron himself brought countless precious gifts and had a carriage taken to the school gate.

At 7 a.m.

Li Ziqi arrived at the school gate with a pink backpack.

Then she saw a girl with a bruised face rushing towards her, which startled her.

Just as she was about to react, the girl stopped several meters away and suddenly knelt down.

“Li Ziqi, I was wrong. Please forgive me,” the girl shouted loudly.

Hearing that voice, Li Ziqi instantly recognized it as her classmate who often troubled her.

“Luolaiying, what’s going on?”

Li Ziqi was a bit shocked, unable to believe that Luolaiying, the school’s tough girl, was actually kneeling to apologize to her.

While Li Ziqi was still bewildered, a man in his fifties approached from beside the carriage.

He respectfully said to Li Ziqi, “This classmate, Luolaiying is my daughter. I know she often troubles you at school, and I am very sorry. I only just discovered this situation yesterday, so I gave her a good beating. This morning, I brought her here to apologize to you…”

Upon hearing this, the kneeling Luolaiying quickly spoke to Li Ziqi, “Li Ziqi, I’m sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay?”

“Uh, this…” Li Ziqi was still a bit dazed.

She didn’t understand why their disagreements had escalated to the point of needing an apology on the ground.

Moreover, even though Luolaiying often brought a group of people to trouble her, she had never actually been harmed.

Every time, she had defeated Luolaiying and her group easily.

Why did it come to the point of kneeling and apologizing?

And this commotion was quite large, wasn’t it?

As this scene unfolded at the school gate, many curious onlookers gathered around.

“Li Ziqi, my daughter already knows she was wrong. Our family has prepared a whole cart of gifts to make amends. Will you forgive her?” Luolaiying’s father asked Li Ziqi.

“This, this, Uncle, that’s not necessary,” Li Ziqi quickly waved her hand.

“It is necessary, very necessary. If you don’t forgive my daughter, I can leave her in your hands. You can do whatever you want, what do you think, Li Ziqi?”

“This, this, Uncle, I forgive her. As for the gifts, just forget about them. You just need to educate Luolaiying so she doesn’t bully her classmates anymore,” Li Ziqi quickly replied.

“Did you hear that? Li Ziqi forgives you. And you must not bully anyone in the future. Can you do that?” Luolaiying’s father scolded Luolaiying.

“I can do it.” Luolaiying quickly nodded in agreement.

“Li Ziqi, this cart of gifts is our goodwill. Please accept it.”

“No, no, no! I don’t want the gifts. You can take them back; otherwise, I won’t forgive Luolaiying.”

“Well, then. Li Ziqi, you are truly a good… classmate. My daughter is lucky to have such a kind classmate like you.”

“Uncle, you’re too kind. It’s almost time for class; I’ll go now,” Li Ziqi said before quickly running away!

“Don’t you hurry to class? Remember, never offend Li Ziqi. If she needs help, you must do your best to assist her, understood?”

“Understood, Dad.” Luolaiying quickly nodded.

With her bruised face, Luolaiying went to class.

The baron soon returned to the Baron’s Mansion.

After returning, he considered whether to report this matter to the higher authorities.

Given His Majesty the Emperor’s emphasis on this matter, if he reported something valuable, he could likely receive a reward or even an elevation in rank.

However, he still needed to confirm what his daughter said!

Although he believed his daughter would never dare to deceive him in this situation, what if?

What if he reported it, and the higher authorities found out that Li Ziqi’s sister was not a student of a holy magic tutor?

At that point, he would gain nothing and might even be punished.

In the afternoon, after school.

The baron called his daughter into a room.

“Do you know where Li Ziqi’s home is?” the baron asked his daughter.

“I don’t know,” Luolaiying shook her head.

Although she had some troubles with Li Ziqi in the past, it was all at school, and she had never thought to check Li Ziqi’s family.

“Do you know when Li Ziqi’s sister will come to school to pick her up?” the baron continued to ask.

After thinking for a moment, Luolaiying replied, “Probably the last day of each break. Her sister usually comes to pick her up from school.”

The baron calculated and realized that tomorrow was the last day of the break, so he quickly asked, “So, her sister will come to pick her up tomorrow?”

“It should be,” Luolaiying nodded.

“Okay, you can go back now. Let your uncle treat you,” the baron waved at his daughter.

The next afternoon.

The baron had a servant drive a carriage to his daughter’s school, pretending to pick her up after class.

At around four o’clock, just before school was about to end, he saw someone who left a deep impression on him.

“Yes, that’s her.”

“Indeed.”

Upon seeing her for the first time, the baron confirmed that the woman was the woman in the painting.

This woman not only looked exactly like the person in the painting, but her clothes, hair accessories, and that special aura were all the same.

So, this woman should be the one from the painting.

According to his daughter, this woman should be here to pick up her sister Li Ziqi after school.

Just a few minutes after the woman arrived, the school dismissed for the day.

Soon, countless students poured out of the school gate.

From his carriage, the baron witnessed the woman pick up Li Ziqi, his daughter’s classmate.

This confirmed it; his daughter’s classmate’s sister was exactly whom the emperor warned them against offending.

“Let’s go back,” the baron instructed the coachman.

“Sir, aren’t we going to pick up the young lady?”

“Let her go home!” The baron’s voice was calm.

As the baron’s carriage left, a girl just walked out of the school.

She immediately recognized her family’s carriage.

“Hey, hey, hey? Why are you leaving?” The girl hurriedly chased after it.

However, she could only watch as the carriage grew farther away.

Back at the Baron’s Mansion.

The baron immediately began writing a memorial.

He planned to inform His Majesty the Emperor of his discovery.

This way, perhaps he could earn a reward from the emperor.
