Chapter 711: Something Big Happened
Editor: Henyee Translations

When Madam Wan saw him coming over, she quickly took two steps forward and said, “Why are you only back now? Let me tell you, something big has happened.”

“What is it?” Xue Zongguang’s heart skipped a beat.

Madam Wan did not notice his expression. She only pointed in the direction of the orchard and said, “Two people actually came to steal herbs in broad daylight and were caught. However, they killed Big Black. Master and Miss are interrogating them now.”

“They killed Big Black?” Xue Zongguang’s face instantly darkened.

Although Big Black was not raised by him, he had watched it grow up. That dog looked fierce but was very protective of its master. He did not expect it to be killed by two thieves.

He could not care less about his legs that were a little weak from rushing. He wiped his sweat and turned to walk towards the orchard.

Unexpectedly, he had only taken a step when he heard Madam Wan’s noisy voice behind him. “Qin’er, what’s wrong with your face? Who beat you up? Mother will avenge you.”

Just now, Madam Wan only saw her husband and daughter return. With something on her mind, she did not pay attention to Xue Qin.

It was only then that he realized that Xue Qin had been covering her face. Once she let go, the clear five-finger mark on her face was simply terrifying.

Madam Wan was furious on the spot.

Xue Qin looked at Xue Zongguang with some complaints, which reminded Xue Zongguang of what the mother and daughter had done.

He immediately said impolitely, “I did.”

Madam Wan was shocked, but when she saw Xue Zongguang’s fierce expression, she was a little afraid.

Xue Zongguang snorted coldly. “Bring her back and boil an egg for her face. Then lock her in the room and don’t let her out. At least, keep her in the room until Master leaves.”

“Father!!”

Xue Zongguang ignored her and warned Madam Wan, “You’d better listen to me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude and chasing you and your daughter out.”

Madam Wan wanted to retort, but she didn’t dare to. She hurriedly nodded. “I understand, I understand.”

As she spoke, she went over to pull Xue Qin. Ignoring her dissatisfaction, she forcefully brought her into the manor.

Only then did Xue Zongguang turn around and run in the direction of the orchard.

Before she could walk in, she heard a commotion and vaguely heard Yuan Cheng’s suppressed cries.

Xue Zongguang’s heart ached as he quickened his pace.

Indeed, there were many people standing in the middle of the herb orchard surrounded by fruit trees.

Other than Shao Qingyuan, Gu Yundong, and the others, there were also many tenants who looked murderous.

There were two people lying on the ground in the middle. Their bodies were firmly tied with ropes. It seemed that they were the two thieves.

Yuan Cheng’s face was covered in tears, and he looked extremely sad. There was a mess of blood at his feet, and it looked a little shocking.

Xue Zongguang’s gaze finally landed on Big Black, who was lying on the ground. He was slightly stunned. Big Black… was not dead.

He immediately heaved a sigh of relief and blamed his wife for exaggerating.

However, although Big Black was not dead, it was indeed injured. The blood on the ground was from it. Now that it was on the ground, it looked like it was on the verge of death. It looked like it was in pain and he did not know if it could be saved.

It must have been smeared with medicine, but its limbs still twitched from time to time. Gu Yundong squatted on the ground and gently stroked its head, as if to comfort it.

Xue Zongguang walked forward and asked a tenant beside him, “What exactly happened?”

The tenant’s face was also filled with anger. He pointed at the two bandits and said, “These two animals deserve to be struck by lightning.”
