Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 6 - She was really innocent.

Chapter 6 - She was really innocent.

The cute adorable face of the little girl was something whose charm will always work no matter what.

Li Xue looked at her daughter who was explaining everything so carefully. She put her defense first as if trying to remind her mother of her own words.

If it would be any other child then under the stern words of the teacher, they would already have their eyes full of big tears. But it was not some other child but her own daughter who is so confident of her actions.

Li Wei was very different from other children. Children of her age are very stubborn about the things they want but she always hears her mother's words carefully and then tries to understand it in her own little brain. She would never shed her tears unless something really goes wrong.

Li Xue told her once, "Tears shouldn't be used as weapons to make someone surrender to your demands. Use your reasons to do it for you. Tears are given to us to express our emotions. Don't misuse a gift given by God"

At that time Li Wei nodded her head simply but her eyes held the shine of enlightenment she had just registered in her small brain. From that day she cried very rarely or she could frame it in a way saying, 'her daughter was too sensible to cry meaninglessly'.

The teacher was also impressed by the little girl's way of explaining things. Her words or expressions never got struck in the midst, not her eyes showed any sign of fear. Her eyes were so innocently clear that even God would falter in front of those.

Since Li Wei was a new student, the teacher knew very little of her. She has seen her attentiveness in the class and has also taken a note of her remarkable questioning nature but never thought that she could be this fearless.

But looking at her now like this, the teacher herself felt, it wasn't her fault to begin with. The other girl who cried was the one who began it.

Li Xue bent on her knees to get to her daughter's height and then looked straight in her eyes asking, "Baby, can you tell Mama what happened to make your friend, Xiao Che cry in the first place? Then I could decide if you acted according to my words or not".

The little girl looked at her mother and then nodded her head. "Mama, earlier Xiao Che came to show me her new pencil pouch. It was a gift from her mother. I appreciated her. Then she asked if I had something more beautiful than her pencil pouch. I said I got the most beautiful mother in the world. But she said that her mother was more beautiful than you"

"So, Li Wei I said it to you, beauty can be different for different people. Did you fight her over this?" Li Xue asked as she gave a little stern eyes to her daughter which was saying, 'I didn't expect this from you'.

But the next moment, the little girl shook her head denying her mother's words. "No, Mama. I did not fight her. I accepted her words saying that she was right. Her mother was beautiful for her like you are beautiful to me. I even said that English saying to her, 'Beauty lies in the eye of befolder'. But she said her mother was only the beautiful one. How could I accept that?"

She paused and counted something on her fingers and then continued, "When I was four and half years old, you said we should never accept the false things and never react to other people's saying. I was just following your words, Mama. Am I wrong?"

Li Xue shook her head instantly, letting her daughter know that she wasn't wrong. But the scenario was a little different. She patted her head and said, "Baby, you weren't wrong. But we should not behave so petty over such trivial matters. Let it be for now. I will talk to you about this latter at home. For now, I will discuss with your teacher"

She then stood up and looked at the teacher. There was a guilty expression on the teacher's face.

So she knew who should exactly be guilty!

"I am sorry teacher. But I don't think my daughter is at fault here, nor I would blame the other child. If few children are together, there are bound to be disagreements between them. It's your work to manage them in a right way, that's why we have sent them here. But I am quite shocked that you tried to push the blame on a little child. May I know the reason?", Li Xue's words were very polite but the tone was firm, giving a feeling of dominance.

The teacher lowered her eyes with guilt. She knew it was not the little girl's fault. But she was not at fault too. She was ordered to do so.

Xiao Che was the granddaughter of one of the trustees whose funds are annually used to support this school. When the pressure comes from higher ups, there was nothing a teacher could do. She had thought that the little girl would not be able to explain her side and then she would push everything easily on her head but the things went out of her plan.

"Ms. Li Xue, you should go and meet the principal first. I don't think I would be able to explain these things to you", the teacher said.

Li Xue looked at the teacher and nodded, "Okay then. I should head over the principal office". She looked at her daughter whose eyes were still fixed at her. She gave her a smile of assurance, "Go and study now. I will go and talk to the principal. Okay?"

The little girl smiled back at her mother and gave a cheerful smile. She believed her mother's word. Since she said she was right then there is nothing for her to worry.
