"Waaaaah, Xiaobai, my Xiaobai." Xia Xue couldn't stop crying as she watched her beloved pet die.

Seeing this, Xia Ze didn't say much.

Sigh, just like the original plot, this little lab rat was killed by Xiaoyu.

"That little white thing's body is stiff, let's go downstairs and bury it together?" Xia Ze suggested, looking at the heartbroken Xiao Xue.

Xia Xue nodded.

He carried the cage containing the dead white mice downstairs.

The two arrived at an open space downstairs.

Xia Ze took a small shovel from home and dug a small pit, then put the white mouse's corpse into it.

"Brother~ My little Bai was so well-behaved, and she killed her like that! She's such a bad person! Just like those wicked stepmothers in TV dramas!"

Because she was so angry, Xia Xue no longer spoke politely.

Xia Ze, standing to the side, looked helpless.

He really can't explain it directly right now!

If he tells her everything now, Xiaoxue will definitely know that he knew everything beforehand.

At that point, you might still feel angry that he knew the mouse was going to die but didn't try to save it, and take it out on him.

"Let's go home!"

Xia Ze simply said, "Let's go home!"

No amount of comforting Xiaoxue now will help; she simply won't listen.

It would be better to go home as soon as possible and clear up the misunderstanding.

Xia Xue nodded dejectedly and followed Xia Ze home.

The two had just arrived home when they turned on the lights and sat down on the sofa.

It didn't take long.

The room door opened and Liu Mei and Xia Donghai, who was there to pick her up, appeared.

The two were taken aback when they saw Xiaoxue and Xiaze.

They had originally thought that Xiaoxue would be staying at her grandfather's house for a while and had planned to go to her grandfather's house tomorrow to have a good talk with her.

"Dad, Auntie."

Xia Ze stood up and gave the two of them a wink.

At first, Liu Mei and Xia Donghai didn't understand, but after seeing Xiaoxue's heavy expression, they realized that something was wrong.

Even when this kid was arguing with them yesterday, he didn't act like this during the May 17th incident.

But today, it was obvious at a glance that she was in a very bad mood.

Moreover, he seemed quite angry, as if he was about to have a big argument with them at any moment.

"Xiaoxue..."

Liu Mei tentatively called out Xia Xue's name.

She's feeling very upset right now. Will this really cause a complete falling out between her and her child?

"Auntie, my little white dog is dead!"

"Because your cat died, you killed it."

Xia Xue looked up at Liu Mei angrily, her eyes filled with disgust and hatred.

"What?" Liu Mei was also surprised to hear this.

Before going to work today, she specifically asked Xia Donghai to lock the mouse cage in case something unexpected happened.

Unexpectedly, an accident occurred! Could it be that Xia Donghai didn't lock the cage properly?

Thinking of this, Liu Mei looked at Xia Donghai.

Xia Donghai shook his head innocently.

He swore that he had locked the cage before leaving the house and had checked it several times.

I'm afraid something might happen to the lab rat and I won't be able to explain it to Xiaoxue.

Seeing Xiaoxue's anger, Xia Donghai quickly comforted her, "Xiaoxue, don't be too sad, and this isn't your Aunt Liu Mei's fault."

"Not blame her? My little white dog was killed by her, why should I not blame her?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Mei also became anxious.

Why should she be blamed when there are so many people in the family?

"No, Xiaoxue, how can you blame me for killing Xiaobai?"

“Yesterday, my brother and I stayed at Grandpa’s house. It was just you, Dad, and Xiaoyu and Liuxing at home. Who else could it be but you? And this cat is your pet.”

"It must be because you saw I wasn't home that you let the cat out and it killed my Xiaobai."

After saying that, Xia Xue angrily picked up her schoolbag and was about to go back to her grandfather's house, but Liu Mei stopped her at that moment.

Liu Mei felt both wronged and angry.

What upset her was that Xia Xue wronged her without even asking what happened, and what angered her was that the child didn't give her a chance to explain.

"Let me go! You vicious and disgusting stepmother!" Xia Xue struggled angrily.

At this moment, Xia Donghai got angry and shouted, "Enough!"

"This couldn't possibly have been done by your mother. She wouldn't even dare touch that rat cage, how could it be your mother!"

In his anger, Xia Donghai let slip what had happened.

This made Liu Mei, who was standing nearby, very anxious, and she quickly tried to explain, "No, Xiaoxue..."

"You're afraid of Little White? Didn't you tell me you liked pet mice? You're not only a rat killer, you're a liar!"

Xia Xue became even angrier after hearing this.

She tried to storm out but saw Xia Donghai standing in the doorway blocking her way, so she angrily ran back to her room.

Seeing how things had turned out, Liu Mei sighed, "Now even if I jumped into the Yellow River, I still wouldn't be able to clear my name."

"Mom, don't be too sad. Let's give Xiaoxue some time to calm down. We'll have a family meeting after school tomorrow."

"We'll clear up the misunderstanding together then, and then catch the real rat killer."

Xia Ze, who witnessed the whole thing, comforted Liu Mei.

He knows the truth, but he can't explain it in just a few words, so it would be better to have a family meeting tomorrow.

Then we can guide Liu Mei to clarify the misunderstanding, and the truth will come out.

The couple nodded upon hearing this.

"Okay, let's do it this way. If this continues, the misunderstanding will become impossible to clear up. I'll call your teacher tomorrow to ask for leave, so you won't have to attend evening self-study."

Xia Donghai didn't want things to continue like this.

After all, he was caught in the middle, with his wife on one side and his daughter on the other, which was really difficult for him.

…………

School was over the next afternoon.

Xia Ze pulled the reluctant Xiao Xue home.

Liu Mei also finished her early shift.

The family of six sat facing each other on the sofa, the atmosphere in the room very serious.

Xia Ze then stepped forward and said, "I'm sure everyone knows why we're having this family meeting."

"I know, I'll clear my mother's name." As Liu Mei's biological son, Liu Xing naturally believed her.

Upon hearing this, Xia Xue, who was sitting on the separate sofa, pouted in dissatisfaction.

What does it mean to clear one's name of a false accusation?

That's clearly the truth; her Xiaobai was killed by Liu Mei.

Xia Ze noticed Xiao Xue's expression and quickly said, "Yes, no, the main purpose of our family meeting today is to find the culprit who killed Xiao Bai, that is, the real rat killer."

"Who is the rat killer?" Xiaoyu glanced at Xia Ze somewhat guiltily.

Xia Ze smiled and silently walked behind Xia Yu, patting his round, bald head.

"Well, of course it is..."

Hearing Xia Ze's deliberately mysterious words, Xiao Yu, still a little kid, was so frightened that her heart started pounding.

He was genuinely afraid of being exposed.

Xia Ze smiled as he looked at Xiao Yu, whose face betrayed her true feelings. This kid's mental defenses are still weak.
