Song Zhang nodded to show his understanding. As Qin Yao was about to leave, Wang Jin still kept silent, but eventually couldn't resist the young man's 'patience' and urgently asked:
"How about bringing the children over to my place for a while? Big Sister has made a lot of delicious snacks to calm the children down."
Saying this, he headed towards the main entrance.
Second Lang and Si Niang hurriedly saluted, "Greetings, Lord County Magistrate!"
"No need for formalities. I'm not in my official robes today, so you can just call me Uncle Song," Song Zhang said, patting the children's heads. Suddenly, he noticed their red necks and asked in surprise, "How did this happen?"
The siblings awkwardly lowered their heads, and Si Niang whispered, "Accidentally got hurt by some thieves..."
Second Lang looked so mature for his age that Song Zhang decided not to press further.
He only cared about their injuries and whether they had seen a doctor.
