This grandson is the apple of his eldest daughter-in-law's eye, cherished and nurtured carefully from a young age. If anyone dares harm him, that would be a serious matter.
Zhiguo glanced coldly at the Zhao family elder, snorted, and walked over with a stern face, demanding, "What's going on?"
The elder from the Zhao family frowned too. He had heard a bit about the children's disputes. Initially, when Dongchen's adopted son had been beaten like that, though he was angry and embarrassed, he didn't see it as a serious issue. Children fighting—if you lose, it means your skills are lacking.
However, after hearing about various actions taken by his daughter-in-law, he decisively isolated the child from them. Continuing to raise the child in that manner would ruin him.
