Aside from Lord Lo An, the strategist, and Luo Bingbing, everyone else believed that Luo Bingbing was doomed this time. To their surprise, Lord Lo An suddenly burst into laughter and said, "What courage and spirit! You truly are my daughter, Luo Guanlin."
Upon hearing his words, everyone except the strategist was left speechless. Wasn't the little brat supposed to be heavily punished? Why was she being praised instead? Even if she wasn't punished, shouldn't he be angry? How could it be...
Luo Bingbing was equally taken aback. She thought to herself, weren't men in ancient times supposed to be domineering? Shouldn't wives and children obey absolutely? I always deliberately argue with him and challenge him; how come he not only isn't angry but is laughing so heartily? Could it be that I've driven him mad?
Aside from Lord Lo An and the strategist, the thoughts of everyone else in the hall were stretching infinitely, jumping around. The two who harbored the deepest resentment towards Luo Bingbing, the queen and her daughter, were the first to regain their composure. The queen couldn't speak and could only gesture for her beloved daughter, Luo Cai Feng, to voice her thoughts.
The well-performing Fourth Princess, Luo Cai Feng, immediately blurted out without thinking, "Father, have you lost your mind? She dares to defy you like this, and instead of punishing her, you praise her?"
"Impudent! How dare you question my words? Do you not see me as your father?" Lord Lo An reprimanded angrily.
Everyone gasped in shock. Both were his daughters and both were princesses; why was there such a disparity in treatment? They both defied him—one even spoke ten times more than the other—yet he punished the latter while praising the former. The difference was too stark! Moreover, that Little Princess had never been favored, while the Fourth Princess was the most cherished princess in the palace.
Even Luo Bingbing was left dumbfounded, unsure of what was happening.
Luo Bingbing furrowed her brow slightly and secretly used her ability to awaken the nursemaid, ensuring she wouldn't catch a chill lying on the ground. After helping the nursemaid up, she took her hand and walked over to sit beside Strategist Gongsun Ming. Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the queen kneeling on the ground pleading for the Fourth Princess, so aside from Strategist Gongsun Ming, no one noticed anything unusual about Luo Bingbing; otherwise, there would have been quite a commotion.
As soon as the queen heard Lord Lo An reprimanding her beloved daughter, she became flustered and quickly knelt down to plead for her daughter. Unable to speak, she could only bow repeatedly to Lord Lo An in supplication.
In the hall, everyone's gaze fell upon the kneeling queen. Only Lord Lo An and Strategist Gongsun Ming were exceptions; their eyes remained fixed on the Little One dressed in tattered clothing as they studied what kind of person she truly was. Even though her outer garments were quite shabby, they couldn't conceal her brilliance and unparalleled aura.
No matter how they pondered or studied her, they couldn't decipher this Little One before them. It was as if she were a labyrinth—filled with paths, exits, and answers—but halfway through navigating it, one would suddenly find there were no routes ahead; everywhere seemed wrong with no way out!
They had both lived for more than half their lives, having encountered countless people along the way. Yet, they had never met anyone like Luo Bingbing, a child so young yet so calm, wise, and skilled in martial arts, shrouded in mystery. Their interest in her was undeniably intense.
The Nursemaid, filled with fear of losing her position, followed closely behind Luo Bingbing, trembling. However, the Little One in front suddenly pouted and frowned. The Nursemaid quickly leaned down to whisper into Luo Bingbing's small ear, using a voice only they could hear, "Little Princess, what's wrong?"
Luo Bingbing replied with remarkable composure, "Nursemaid, this performance is not exciting at all; it's boring!"
Her youthful voice echoed in the room, drawing everyone's attention back to her. Some were amused, some shocked, some angry, while others secretly delighted in her boldness.
The princess and her mother felt a mix of hatred and fear towards her; they dared not express their anger openly and could only signal to Madam Xiang for support. However, Madam Xiang and her daughter had long viewed Luo Bingbing as a thorn in their side. Seeing her so arrogant and dismissive of them made them wish they could tear her apart and feed her to the dogs.
As the saying goes: "The most venomous heart belongs to a woman!" Of course, this applied only to certain individuals.
"Prince, look at her—she has no manners at all! She's practically disgracing Prince Luo's Residence. How can a junior behave like this?" Madam Xiang said to Lo An Lord, unable to contain herself any longer.
Lo An Lord did not respond immediately; he merely frowned slightly as he glanced at Luo Bingbing. Just as he was about to speak, Luo Bingbing's clear and youthful voice floated through the air again. "Aren't you all grown up? Don't you know that speaking requires some thought?"
Her words were clearly an insult without any foul language. The strategist and Lo An Lord were genuinely impressed by her audacity. She spoke the truth while subtly mocking others for their lack of thoughtfulness.
Before Madam Xiang could respond, her son, Fifth Son, quickly interjected angrily at Luo Bingbing: "Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to my mother like that? Little Bitch, are you tired of living?"
Hearing his words, Luo Bingbing casually dug at her ear and slowly replied, "Is this what you call family education? Manners? Today I’ve seen it all. However, you shouldn't have offended me. Now enjoy the consequences of your actions! Since it's your first offense, I'll give you a discount—let's say half off—experience being a wooden man!" As soon as she finished speaking, Fifth Son Luo Wenhan found himself unable to move, standing there like a wooden post. He couldn't speak or move; only his round eyes darted around desperately as if seeking help or mercy, glistening with tears.
Seeing her beloved son turned into a wooden post drove Madam Xiang into a frenzy. Forgetting her previous fears entirely and no longer consulting Lo An Lord, she directly called for the guards outside to seize Luo Bingbing. Fortunately, Lo An Lord intervened with a stern voice.
"Enough! Look at how you've all behaved! Do you still have any respect for me?"
Madam Xiang immediately retorted, "But Prince..." Before she could finish her sentence, Lo An Lord interrupted her.
"Whoever is making noise, go to confinement. You won't eat for three days."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone quickly closed their mouths, and the hall fell into complete silence!
In the hall, apart from the faint sound of breathing, there was no other noise.
Suddenly, breaking the silence, Luo Bingbing spoke up. "I'm bored. Let's go! Nursemaid, let's just go back to sleep!"
Thud...
Upon hearing her words, everyone was taken aback, including the esteemed Lo An Lord.
Luo Bingbing stood up and pulled the Nursemaid towards the door. However, before they could reach it, Lo An Lord's authoritative voice rang out. "Don't you want me to compensate you?"
Hearing his words, Luo Bingbing stopped in her tracks and turned slightly to look at him. She slowly replied, "Will you?"
"First, tell me your conditions."
Luo Bingbing used her ability to glimpse his true thoughts. It turned out he was afraid that she might suffer the same fate as her mother and be harmed in secret; that's why he had ignored her and stayed away from the estate for years—not because he wanted to forget her. After considering this, Luo Bingbing thought that while he had his reasons, wrong is wrong, and he must bear the consequences of his actions. Since he genuinely wanted to make amends, she decided to give him a chance!
