Chapter 7. Resolution

Days later at the Kongs' home

Tao Grandfather, En, Len, and Jun, back in her normal clothes, were gathered at the foyer of the Kong family's mansion. Kong Grandfather, Qiang Feng, Hu, and Jing, soon came to meet them.

"So, what's this all about anyway?" Tao Grandfather asked.

The Kong grandfather sighed, "I'm sorry for all the trouble. It's nothing really. My grandson…" He glared at Hu. "Wanted some adventure so he started digging around in our family records looking for something he could cause trouble about! I didn't think he'd actually attempt it, much less get his father and older brother involved. "Stupid son of mine, getting tricked by his own boy!" he said to Qiang Feng.

Qian Feng lowered his head in shame.

"What was it we were fighting over anyway?" Tao Grandfather asked.

"I think that someone was at someone's party and someone spilled wine on someone, therefore damaging their family's honor and there was lots fighting. After a while, though the fighting must have died down since it was getting pointless," Kong Grandfather answered.

"Ooh…is that it?" Tao Grandfather glared at Kong Grandfather.

"Who said it was my side of the family?" Kong Grandfather answered.

All four kids held their breath. Preparing themselves for the outcome…

"Ha…hahahahahahahahahaha!" Laughed both elders, surprising everyone else standing around.

Len and Hu sighed in relief.

"Jun, why didn't you tell me about this?" Tao En glared at his eldest child. "I'm ashamed that you didn't trust your family had the strength to defeat this threat."

"I'm sorry!" Jun said, bowing. "I was just so scared!"

"But…" Said her father. "I'm also very proud of you. You were brave, to protect your brother. Your deed, will certainly be remembered in our family records."

Jun sobbed, crying with happiness. "Ba ba," she said, "Xie xie nin. I will always fight to protect our family's pride. And I promise I will never make the mistake of hiding such a petty problem again."

"C'mon, Jie jie," Len said. "It's time…"

"To go home?" Jun asked.

"Silly, eat dinner."

"Dinner?"

"Yes, Kong Grandfather asked us to stay for dinner. You did good job Jun, but honestly, you really do need to be less clumsy!"

"Di di…" Jun growled, and raised her hand to slap her little brother, but she couldn't hold back a laugh. "Okay, let's go," She smiled.
