Luo Bingbing was listening to Shadowless recounting the events when suddenly a foul smell of urine wafted through the air. She turned her head and saw it was the Waiter, prompting her to ask him a few questions.
Though the Waiter trembled in fear, he answered her questions seriously. When he mentioned that Lan Zhiguang had said he would receive five taels of silver from the Wangfu after delivering the message, Luo Bingbing instructed Shadowless to give him the five taels and told him to leave the Wangfu immediately.
Following Little One's orders, Shadowless handed over the five taels, but the Waiter was too frightened to accept it. He adamantly refused, terrified of what might happen.
Finally, it was Dongfang Hao who spoke up, threatening to behead him if he didn’t take the money. Only then did the Waiter, trembling and nearly wetting himself, accept the silver and leave Prince Luo's Residence.
As soon as he left, Lo An Lord angrily exclaimed, “These two wretches really have the audacity to pull such a stunt. Now look where it has gotten them—they’ve been captured.”
Hearing this, Luo Bingbing quietly glanced at Luo Wenhan. Seeing his calm demeanor, she said, “When I go to rescue them later, I will only save Nursemaid.”
Upon feeling Little One's gaze, Luo Wenhan turned to her and heard her declaration about saving only Nursemaid.
However, he did not oppose her decision. Instead, he said to Luo Bingbing, “Whatever you decide, I support you. They brought this upon themselves; they have no one else to blame.”
“Hmm, with your words, I feel reassured,” she replied before turning to Lo An Lord. “Father, shall we hurry?”
“Alright, let’s go!” With that, both of them headed toward the main entrance.
Dongfang Hao and Shadowless immediately followed suit. But after taking just a couple of steps, Luo Bingbing turned back and said to them, “You shouldn’t come along; it might provoke him into desperate actions. I’ll handle it well—don’t worry!”
“No way! I’m going with you,” Dongfang Hao protested first.
“It’s not up for discussion; you must trust my abilities!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, they quickly replied, "No, no, we absolutely didn't mean that. We just..."
Before they could finish, Luo Bingbing interrupted, "Alright, I understand your intentions. However, Lan Zhiguang has made it very clear in the letter that if my father and I go, and he sees anyone else, he will immediately push the Nursemaid and the others off the cliff. So you all just need to wait here for our return."
Seeing Luo Bingbing's insistence, Dongfang Hao quickly changed his tune, "Fine, I won't go. I'll just wait here for you to come back."
"Okay," she nodded lightly before leaving Luo Wenhan's courtyard with Lo An Lord. As they reached a corner, Luo Bingbing used her Ability to teleport both herself and Lo An Lord to the summit of Haixi Peak.
Meanwhile, in Luo Wenhan's courtyard, Dongfang Hao had his horse prepared, stating that he was going to Haixi Peak. Naturally, others wanted to follow.
However, Dongfang Hao only allowed Shadowless and Luo Yi to accompany him, saying they were skilled in martial arts and could be of help, while Luo Wenhan should not go.
Yet Luo Wenhan insisted on going. After some thought, Luo Yi decided to bring him along since Madam Xiang and Luo Caidie were his relatives.
Upon arriving at the summit of Haixi Peak, Luo Bingbing and Lo An Lord immediately spotted Lan Zhiguang.
However, as soon as the father and daughter arrived there, they saw Madam Xiang pleading with Lan Zhiguang's wife for food, claiming they were so hungry that their heads were spinning. They were also stating that they had severed all ties with Prince Luo's Residence and begged Lan Zhiguang to let them go.
But upon seeing the suddenly appearing Luo Bingbing and her father, they immediately changed their tune and shouted for them to save them.
Although Luo Bingbing heard their words, she treated them as if they were just the wind passing by. Her gaze had not left the Nursemaid since she first spotted her.
At that moment, the Nursemaid was still unconscious.
Madam Xiang's words made Lan Zhiguang aware of the Nursemaid's significance in Luo Bingbing's heart. Lan Ruohan despised Luo Bingbing more than anyone else; thus, upon realizing how much the Nursemaid meant to her, she relentlessly lashed out at the Nursemaid with a rattan whip.
The Nursemaid had not eaten and had been whipped, so she remained unconscious.
When Luo Bingbing saw the Nursemaid covered in blood with no part of her body unharmed, a surge of anger erupted within her.
She was extremely angry, yet her smile was bright. However, it sent chills down people's spines and filled them with fear.
Lan Zhiguang and his family felt uneasy, but they forced themselves to remain calm as they approached the Nursemaid.
Due to Lan Zhiguang's cautious nature, after writing a letter and returning to the cave, he feared that the guards from the royal residence and palace would come to rescue her. Therefore, he immediately moved them to the mountaintop.
He even tied the Nursemaid and the others just three or four steps away from the cliff. They sat on a large rock beside her, always on guard against anyone trying to rescue her.
Luo Bingbing ignored their expressions and slowly walked towards the Nursemaid. However, Lan Zhiguang and the others grew even more fearful as they watched Little One approach step by step.
Lan Ruohan exclaimed in terror, "Don't come any closer, or I'll push her off the cliff."
Fear consumed her heart, and in her panic, she randomly grabbed Luo Caidie. Little did she know that Luo Bingbing had no intention of saving Luo Caidie.
Thus, Luo Bingbing paid her no mind and continued her steady pace towards them.
At that moment, as Lan Ruohan panicked and grabbed Luo Caidie, her mother also hurriedly pulled up Madam Xiang, who was crouching on the ground out of fear.
Seeing Luo Bingbing still slowly approaching them, she frantically said, "If you dare to come any closer, I'll push her down."
The unconscious Nursemaid managed to escape this calamity by lying on the ground.
Hearing her words, Luo Bingbing coldly smiled and said, "Push! Why not push her down?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Zhiguang stared directly at Little One behind Lo An Lord and said, "Lord Luo, didn't expect to see you again? But you are really biased! Your daughter and concubine are about to be pushed off the cliff, yet you don't say a word to stop your little girl?"
"They just said they have nothing to do with Prince Luo's Residence anymore, and I already kicked them out long ago."
Upon hearing this, Lan Zhiguang coldly replied, "People say I'm ruthless, but I think you're even more ruthless, ignoring your own flesh and blood."
"Luo Zhiguang, do you have dementia? They just said they have nothing to do with Prince Luo's Residence anymore. Why are you still clinging to my father?"
As soon as Luo Bingbing finished speaking, Lan Zhiguang sneered and said, "Alright, alright, if that's the case, then don't blame me."
With that, he pulled the nearest Luo Caidie over and said to her, "When you reach the underworld, don't blame me! Blame your heartless father..." Before he could finish his sentence, he directly pushed her off the cliff.
Luo Bingbing and Lo An Lord thought he would finish his words before pushing Luo Caidie down. Thus, they were not prepared at all.
Although Lo An Lord felt slightly uncomfortable in his heart, he knew they had no intention of saving the mother and daughter this time.
Therefore, he quickly adjusted his mindset.
Seeing that he had already pushed Luo Caidie down while Luo Bingbing and her daughter were still approaching him without any sign of stopping, Lan Zhiguang panicked. In his flustered state, he grabbed Madam Xiang from his wife's hand and said, "If you dare take another step forward, I'll push her down too."
Actions spoke louder than words; Luo Bingbing and her daughter did not stop because of his threats. They continued their original pace, stepping closer to him one by one.
The outcome was evident; before Madam Xiang could even ask Luo Bingbing and the others for help, she was pushed off the cliff by Lan Zhiguang.
After pushing Madam Xiang down, Luo Bingbing and her father did not stop their steps. Upon seeing this, Lan Zhiguang immediately crouched down, preparing to use the Nursemaid lying on the ground as leverage to force Luo Bingbing and her group to retreat.
However, Luo Bingbing was well aware of his intentions. So, at the moment he crouched down, she used her Ability to immobilize Lan Zhiguang and his family.
Feeling suddenly unable to move, Lan Zhiguang and his family wanted to inquire what was happening, but they quickly realized that they couldn't even speak.
Panic set in...
Yet Luo Bingbing paid no mind to their expressions. She continued speaking, "How does it feel? Not so pleasant, right? I haven't lost my temper in a long time, but today you all have successfully made me angry. So, to thank you, I thought I’d entertain you for a while longer. What do you think?"
After saying this, she deliberately looked at Lan Zhiguang with a childlike gaze, as if truly waiting for his response.
After a moment, she suddenly slapped her forehead and exclaimed, "Oh dear, I almost forgot! You’re all immobilized and can’t say a word."
"Deliberate, definitely deliberate," Lo An Lord thought to himself.
Upon hearing her words, Lan Zhiguang and his family felt an intense anger rising within them. Yet they were powerless; after all, they had originally intended to seek revenge but now found themselves prisoners.
"However, it’s fine if you can’t speak. Just savor the moment and enjoy it," she added.
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Bingbing used her Ability to draw some leaves from the surrounding trees and employed her Wind Ability to make them swirl around Lan Zhiguang's family. With each rotation of the leaves, they would slice off thin layers of skin from their bodies.
The leaves kept spinning while Luo Bingbing and her father quickly approached the Nursemaid. Gently cradling her in their arms, Luo Bingbing called out to her softly.
However, she showed no reaction at all.
Thus, Luo Bingbing quickly checked her pulse. After feeling it, she realized that the Nursemaid not only had external injuries but that the main reason for her fainting was that she hadn't eaten for several days and had fainted from hunger.
Knowing the specific cause eased Luo Bingbing's mind a bit. She immediately used her healing ability to treat all of the Nursemaid's wounds.
However, although the wounds on the Nursemaid's body had disappeared, she still did not wake up.
Surrounded by leaves, Lo An Lord was out of sight, but the controller Luo Bingbing could see that they had already become exposed.
After a while, feeling that the time was right, Luo Bingbing waved her hand and sent them all off the cliff.
After dealing with Lan Zhiguang and his family of three, Luo Bingbing quickly used her ability to teleport back to Piaoyun Pavilion with the Nursemaid and Lo An Lord.
Once back at Piaoyun Pavilion, Luo Bingbing gently placed the Nursemaid on the bed and instructed a maid to prepare some Bird's Nest Porridge for her. She also sent a young servant to invite Dongfang Hao and his companions over from Luo Wenhan's place.
However, after a while, the young servant returned to report that Dongfang Hao and the others were not in that courtyard at all, and even Luo Wenhan had left.
Without needing to think, Luo Bingbing knew they must have gone to Haixi Peak.
So she immediately used her ability to secretly send a message to Dongfang Hao, informing him that she had returned and urging him to come back quickly.
Dongfang Hao and Shadowless were galloping towards Haixi Peak.
But as they rode along, Dongfang Hao suddenly heard the voice of the Little One in his mind. After listening to what the Little One said, Dongfang Hao immediately turned back with Shadowless and the others.
They had just returned to the Piaoyun Pavilion when the Nursemaid woke up. Soon, everyone gathered to discuss the recent events that had taken place in the palace.
As they were talking, Luo Bingbing suddenly heard Shi Yu calling out. Shi Yu was the captain of the Tiger Legion whom Luo Bingbing had stationed at the edge of the forest to monitor Ouyang Chen and Eastern Spirit.
Previously, Luo Bingbing had instructed him to contact her in case of any special circumstances.
Hearing his voice, Luo Bingbing immediately sensed that something must have gone wrong. Without hesitation, she used her Ability to take Dongfang Hao and Lo An Lord with her to that location.
Although Shadowless and Luo Yi both insisted on accompanying her, Luo Bingbing was adamant that they stay at Silver City to monitor the situation and protect the Nursemaid.
The reason Shi Yu urgently contacted Luo Bingbing was that Ouyang Chen had already implemented his second plan, a scheme that even Eastern Spirit was unaware of.
After Eastern Spirit fell asleep that night, Ouyang Chen quietly bound her. The next day, he produced a decree that Ouyang Xiao had prepared long ago, allowing him to divorce her and place her among military prostitutes. If Silver Moon Kingdom did not withdraw its troops, he would strip her of her clothes and let Hao Tian's soldiers take turns "riding" her.
