Lo An Lord certainly would not reveal the true reason for his return. He simply stated that he had been away for many years and was feeling a bit homesick, so he took the opportunity to come back and see his wife and children. He informed the Emperor that everything in the military was arranged properly, with no issues, and that he would return to his post in a couple of days.
The Emperor listened and replied calmly, "Since there is nothing happening in the military and you have not returned for a long time, you might as well stay a few more days." After saying this, he waved his hand, signaling Lo An Lord to leave. He then stood up and walked toward the door, telling his Personal Bodyguard to return to the palace, moving forward without paying any attention to Lo An Lord or the guards behind him.
It was only after the figure of Emperor Dongfang Hao disappeared that Lo An Lord stepped out of the private room. Once outside the Reception Building, he instructed the sedan chair bearer to hurry back to the estate. He was eager to see if his Beloved Daughter was at home and why she had returned without a word.
Upon returning home, the Nursemaid hurried straight to Piaoyun Pavilion. When she saw Luo Bingbing sitting intact in the study on a Carved Wooden Chair reading a book, a heavy weight lifted from her heart.
Seeing the Nursemaid enter, Luo Bingbing looked up at her and said lightly, "You’re back."
The Nursemaid nodded at her words and quickly replied, "Little Princess, why did you come back without saying anything? It made the Prince worry so much; it was hard for me to find you!"
Luo Bingbing raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Oh! I had something urgent and forgot to tell you all before coming back." She paused for a moment before continuing, "I won’t do that again next time."
The Nursemaid couldn’t help but ask, "Little Princess, what was so urgent that made you rush back?"
Just as Luo Bingbing was about to answer, a maid’s voice came from the doorway. "Reporting to the Princess, the young master has bathed and changed clothes; he is now at the door requesting to see you."
Upon hearing the maid's report, Luo Bingbing slowly said, "Let him in."
With Luo Bingbing's permission, the clean and newly dressed little beggar immediately entered. He walked to the center of the study, knelt on one knee before Luo Bingbing, and said, "Luo Yi pays respects to my master."
Luo Bingbing nodded slightly, signaling him to rise, and said slowly, "Hmm, that looks much better." She paused before continuing, "Indeed, people rely on their attire just as horses depend on their saddles! The old saying is absolutely true."
She pointed at the Nursemaid and said to Little Beggar Luo Yi, "This is the Nursemaid; greet her properly!"
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words, Little Beggar Luo Yi quickly turned to the Nursemaid and bowed.
The Nursemaid had been watching the young beggar since he entered, finding that this Young Master was quite fair-skinned but a bit thin, looking almost like skin stretched over bones. She felt quite puzzled and thought to herself: Who is this Young Boy? Why have I never seen him before?
Seeing him bow to her, the Nursemaid hurriedly returned the gesture. Turning to Luo Bingbing, she asked, "Little Princess, who is this young gentleman?"
"Nursemaid, he is the reason I returned home early," Luo Bingbing replied calmly.
"Ah!" The Nursemaid exclaimed in surprise.
Just then, a commanding and urgent voice came from the doorway. "What is happening? Why all the commotion?" As he spoke, Lo An Lord hurriedly entered the room.
Upon entering, he saw his Beloved Daughter sitting safely in the Carved Wooden Chair by the desk. Like the Nursemaid, he felt relieved upon seeing Luo Bingbing and finally let go of his worries.
Only then did he turn to look at the other two people in the study. He recognized the Nursemaid but did not know Little Beggar Luo Yi. He couldn't help but wonder: Who is this Young Master? Which family does he belong to? How did he end up in Bing Bing's study? Questions swirled in Lo An Lord's mind, but no matter how hard he tried to think or guess, he couldn't find any answers. Just as he was frowning in thought, he heard the Nursemaid greeting him. "Greetings, my lord! You have returned!"
Hearing the Nursemaid's words, Lo An Lord nodded slightly and pointed at Little Beggar Luo Yi, asking, "Bing Bing, which family does this Young Master belong to?"
Luo Bingbing raised an eyebrow and was about to respond when she noticed that Little Beggar Luo Yi had already stepped forward to greet her Lord Father.
Little Beggar Luo Yi quickly turned around and knelt before Lo An Lord, saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects. I must report to you that I was once a beggar, but not long ago I was saved by the Princess. Now, I am her most loyal servant."
Lo An Lord furrowed his brow slightly, gazing deeply at the little beggar before him. He spoke slowly, "Oh... you just returned with the Princess?"
Upon hearing Lo An Lord's words, Little Beggar Luo Yi hurriedly replied, "Yes, Your Highness."
Despite appearing calm and composed on the surface, he was actually extremely nervous inside. When he heard the Nursemaid refer to this imposing man as "Your Highness," he realized that this was none other than the renowned Lo An Lord. The one who had saved him, the Little One, was Lo An Lord's daughter, and he was currently in Prince Luo's Residence. The thought of being in a place he had never even dared to dream of filled him with excitement.
However, being well-versed in the ways of the world and skilled at reading people's expressions, he made an effort to remain calm and composed. He did not want his two masters to form any negative impressions of him. Thus, he maintained a demeanor of tranquility.
Luo Bingbing was quite satisfied with his performance. Although she knew that the little beggar was internally thrilled and his heart raced rapidly, seeing him so composed did not affect her assessment of him at all.
After hearing Little Beggar Luo Yi's words, Lo An Lord slowly walked over to Luo Bingbing's side. He embraced her gently and asked softly, "Darling, you returned home quietly because of him, didn't you?"
Luo Bingbing settled into a more comfortable position in his arms, raised an eyebrow, and replied lightly, "Hmm? Is there a problem?"
Hearing her response, Lo An Lord smiled and said slowly, "There is no problem. However, darling, you mustn't leave without a word next time. Don't you know how worried your father would be? Do you realize that I turned Silver City upside down looking for you? And here you are, sneaking back without a sound."
Upon hearing her so-called father's words, a certain string in Luo Bingbing's heart was touched...
