Everyone was momentarily stunned by her words, silently thinking to themselves, "This person really has some nerve!"
However, the Little One seemed unaffected. She coldly regarded Luo Caidie and said lightly, "It seems your courage has grown quite a bit! Is it that you haven't been taught a lesson enough, or do you truly not care for your two legs anymore?"
Upon hearing the Little One's words, Luo Caidie immediately recalled the incident from two years ago when she was thrown out of Piaoyun Pavilion by Luo Bingbing, injuring her foot and lying in bed for over a month.
The thought made her break into a cold sweat.
At that moment, voices from outside the hall echoed, announcing, "The Lord has returned! The Lord has returned!"
Upon hearing this, everyone knew that Lo An Lord had come back. However, Consort Luo and the others couldn't help but wonder internally: Why did he return today as well?
Indeed, it was Luo Bingbing who had used her ability to send word that she had returned home, prompting him to rush back to Prince Luo's Residence.
Like the Little One, he had not returned to Prince Luo's Residence since leaving. However, he had sent people to observe the residence closely.
Thus, he was fully aware of who among them were spies and who were genuine maids and servants.
Before long, Lo An Lord's figure appeared at the entrance of the hall. As soon as he stepped inside, he fixed his gaze on the Little One seated at the head of the table and quickly walked toward her.
As he approached, he remarked, "Hmm, my beloved daughter has grown taller!"
He didn't even glance at the princess or his other two daughters; even when they greeted him respectfully, he merely nodded lightly before bypassing them entirely to reach the Little One.
At that moment, his eyes and heart were solely focused on his beloved daughter, Luo Bingbing. As for everyone else, they were as transparent to him as air, including Du Zhongtian and the others.
While he chose to ignore them, it didn't mean they would reciprocate that indifference.
After Consort Luo and her daughters had bowed in greeting, Du Zhongtian and the others stood up to clasp their fists in salute.
After all, they were guests; it wouldn't be polite for him to continue ignoring them. He asked, "Who are you?"
Hearing his question, the Little One spoke up to introduce them: "They are my Master Uncle and Senior Sister. And this is Su Yi, the eldest son of the world's richest Su Family and my Senior Sister's elder brother."
Aside from the four of them, everyone else was shocked to hear her say that the boy in front of her and the Little Girl were siblings from the Su Family, the World's Richest, including Lo An Lord.
Years ago, all the nations were trying to win over Su Qingcheng, especially the Four Great Empires.
Su Yi was also the dream lover of girls everywhere, not only because he was handsome and charming but also because he was wealthy.
At that moment, the others in the hall smiled at the siblings, hoping to win their favor, especially Consort Luo and her companions.
However, Lo An Lord merely nodded politely and did not speak further.
He quickly walked up to Luo Bingbing and scooped the Little One into his arms. But that tender moment was soon shattered by Luo Bingbing herself.
With a slight frown, she said, "Father, have you not bathed for days?"
Upon hearing his beloved daughter's words, Lo An Lord hurriedly replied, "As soon as I heard you returned home, I rushed back without stopping. What’s wrong?"
Luo Bingbing slowly responded, "No wonder you smell so bad. Put me down and go wash up."
Su Yan and the others were taken aback; it was their first time seeing Lo An Lord and witnessing such rudeness from the Little One towards her father.
Before they could regain their composure, Strategist Gongsun Ming entered the hall.
He approached Luo Bingbing directly and bowed, saying, "I pay my respects to the Princess. How have you been these past two years?"
Luo Bingbing nodded slightly and replied, "I'm well. Thank you for your hard work, Strategist. You should go wash up first!"
Everyone couldn't help but stifle a laugh at the Little One's words.
Afterward, Strategist Gongsun Ming took his leave from Consort Luo and her companions before heading off with Lo An Lord to freshen up.
Seeing them leave, Luo Caidie realized her scheme had no chance of success and quickly feigned an apologetic demeanor towards Luo Bingbing. "So it really is my little sister who has returned! I thought some little imp had appeared out of nowhere!"
Su Yan hated pretentious people like her, so as soon as Luo Caidie's words fell, she turned to Luo Bingbing and said, "Junior Sister, is this what you call disgusting and despicable?"
Luo Caidie felt a surge of anger at her words, but since Su Yi was still present, she forced herself to endure it and pretended not to understand.
Meanwhile, everyone couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, even the one seated at the top, Little One, couldn't help but smile lightly.
At that moment, the steward had no choice but to stiffen his resolve and address Luo Bingbing, saying, "I wonder what the Little Princess has summoned this old servant for?"
Upon hearing his words, Luo Bingbing immediately coldly replied, "Dog Servant, you have some nerve! You actually sent away all the maids and servants in Piaoyun Pavilion, leaving it overgrown with weeds. What punishment do you deserve for this?"
Hearing the Little One's words, the steward quickly knelt down and repeatedly bowed his head in supplication, saying, "Little Princess, spare me! This old servant is truly wronged! The maids and servants in Piaoyun Pavilion were afflicted by a strange illness and died mysteriously. Everyone is afraid to go there, which is why it remains uncleaned until now."
"Oh? Have you found out the cause of their deaths?" Luo Bingbing raised an eyebrow and asked.
"No, the officials said they couldn't determine it," he replied.
Upon hearing this, Luo Bingbing realized that those people must have been harmed by someone else and that they were likely targeting her; those servants were merely scapegoats.
The steward understood that this Little One was calling on him to clean up and organize Piaoyun Pavilion immediately.
So before Luo Bingbing could give any orders, he volunteered, "Princess, I will send someone right away to clean and tidy up Piaoyun Pavilion."
After hearing his words, Luo Bingbing nodded lightly and said, "Alright, go ahead!"
Thus, the steward took his leave. Once he was gone, Consort Luo called for her Personal Maid and had her Four Treasures of the Study brought before her.
Then she picked up a brush and wrote a few lines on paper. However, she wasn't writing to Luo Bingbing; she was writing to Su Yi.
Most of what she wrote were welcoming messages for Su Yi and his sister, inviting them to Silver City for some fun.
It was clear to anyone with discernment that she was trying to win them over and pave the way for herself and her daughter.
After Su Yi looked at them, he politely nodded to Consort Luo and said, "Thank you very much for your kindness, but my sister and I were instructed by our father to stay close to the Little Princess at all times to repay her for saving our lives."
What he said was reasonable, but those listening were quite puzzled, including Su Yan and the others.
Clearly, when they left Su Residence, Su Qingcheng did not ask them to stay by that Little One's side at all times, yet now he said this.
Consort Luo and the others were confused about when that little ghost had saved the Su Family's lives and gained such a good opportunity.
After hearing Su Yi's words, Consort Luo slightly nodded to them and then left the hall.
As soon as she left, she naturally took Luo Cai Feng with her. However, Kelo Cai Feng was reluctant to leave; she still wanted to take Xu Mengting with her.
In the end, she was forcibly dragged away from the hall by Consort Luo.
Once the mother and daughter left, Luo Caidie also quickly exited the hall and returned to the small courtyard where Madam Xiang was, to inform her of what had happened and discuss their countermeasures.
For a moment, the people in the hall returned to their original state, leaving only the initial five.
At this time, Xu Mengting had deeply realized that she was inescapably trapped; however, there was still a faint glimmer of hope in her heart.
She was not mistaken; her companions were indeed coming to rescue her.
Suddenly, several sneaky figures appeared outside the hall. They were dressed in the attire of servants from Prince Luo's Residence and were stealthily approaching the hall step by step.
The other servants in the royal residence did not suspect them at all; they truly believed they were just servants from Prince Luo's Residence!
Due to their convincing disguise without any flaws, they smoothly approached the hall.
However, Luo Bingbing observed them closely. Noticing that their expressions were very uniform, the Little One slightly furrowed her brows.
But before she could relax her brow, those individuals suddenly rushed in and casually threw a few smoke bombs into the air.
Suddenly, the hall was enveloped in mist, and the group took advantage of the fog before it dissipated to rush to Xu Mengting's side to rescue her.
Du Zhongtian and the others could not see clearly in the mist, but Luo Bingbing had no trouble. She swiftly darted to Xu Mengting's side and restrained them.
Then, she quietly channeled her Inner Strength, activated her Ability, and used her Wind Ability to blow the mist out into the courtyard.
The rescuers believed their plan was foolproof, unaware that someone could navigate through the thick fog and directly locate them, instantly taking control of everyone.
Xu Mengting watched as those who came to save her had already deployed smoke bombs, yet the Little Princess could still find them in an instant and subdue them. Her fear of Luo Bingbing deepened.
Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the mist, Du Zhongtian and his companions realized that it must be Xu Mengting's accomplices coming to rescue her.
However, within the dense fog, all they could see was a blanket of white; nothing was clear at all.
Just when they thought Xu Mengting would surely be rescued by her allies, they suddenly saw the mist being blown away by a strange gust of wind.
Then they noticed that the few people who had just been near the hall were standing oddly around Xu Mengting.
Luo Bingbing stood a few steps away from them. Upon seeing the Little One, Su Yan and the others realized that those people were all under the control of that Little One.
Thus, they were puzzled.
Su Yi asked, "Ice Princess, you really are impressive! But why can't we see anything while you can?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yan immediately chimed in, "Brother, you're so clueless! Junior Sister is so powerful; her skills are even higher than Master and Master Zhangmen's. Of course she can see clearly."
"Uh..." Su Yi felt speechless after hearing his younger sister's words.
Luo Bingbing glanced at the group and calmly said, "You must be Li Yan's people from Haotian Kingdom, right?"
Upon hearing her words, the group was filled with astonishment, but soon their hearts were ablaze with anger.
They believed that Xu Mengting must have spoken out and become a traitor. At the same time, they regretted their decision; had they known, they would not have come to rescue her, and they themselves would not have been captured.
Seeing the expressions on those people's faces, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but curl her lips into a wicked smile, thinking to herself, "Bite! Guess! The more intense, the better."
"Bing Bing! Bing Bing! Are you okay? Are you hurt?" shouted Lo An Lord, who had rushed over upon hearing the news.
Soon after, Strategist Gongsun Ming also hurried over, inquiring if anyone was injured.
Luo Bingbing gently shook her head and then informed them about the undercover agents from Haotian Kingdom.
After listening to her, Lo An Lord said he would send those people to the Ministry of Justice for handling. However, Luo Bingbing slowly shook her head and said, "Father, there's no need to go through so much trouble. I believe Dongfang Hao must already know that I have returned. He might come to Prince Luo's Residence this afternoon! At that time, wouldn't it be better to hand these people directly over to him? This way, we can avoid unnecessary speculation and gossip from the Ministry of Justice."
After hearing her words, Lo An Lord and the others couldn't help but nod in agreement with her suggestion.
She was right; at that moment, Dongfang Hao in the Demon Palace had already received news of her return and was hurrying back!
In the afternoon, after returning to the palace, he instructed Miyazawa to return to the Demon Palace while he himself headed straight for Prince Luo's Residence.
