Luo Bingbing pulled the Nursemaid back to Piaoyun Pavilion. Along the way, the Nursemaid remained in a daze, as if her mind and thoughts were still lingering before their return to Piaoyun Pavilion, not moving an inch. When Luo Bingbing urged her to sit down, she did not respond. Unable to hold back any longer, Luo Bingbing leaned close to her ear and shouted, "Nursemaid, there's a flood! The fire is urgent! Hurry and put it out!"
Only then did the Nursemaid react, standing up from her chair and looking around while asking, "Where? Where? Where is the flood?"
After surveying the surroundings, she found no signs of flooding and realized she was back at Piaoyun Pavilion. Confused, she thought about how she and Little Princess had been confronting Fourth Princess and Second Princess at Clear Heart Pavilion. How had they suddenly returned to Piaoyun Pavilion? She needed to think this through. Wait, wasn't it Little Princess who had fought Fourth Princess and her Maid Xiaomei? The Nursemaid's thoughts began to settle. Once her mind was clear and coherent, she looked at Luo Bingbing with a gaze of astonishment and scrutiny. She thought to herself, "Little Princess is completely different now; it's as if she's become a different person. But this is still Little Princess! What exactly has changed?"
Seeing the Nursemaid looking at her with such astonishment and scrutiny made Luo Bingbing feel slightly nervous, but she forced herself to remain calm and asked, "Nursemaid, why are you looking at me like that? Is something wrong with me?"
The Nursemaid hurried over and embraced her, saying, "No, Nursemaid is just happy to see Little Princess finally grown up."
"Then Nursemaid, are you afraid?"
The Nursemaid held her tightly, first nodding her head before suddenly shaking it and saying, "Nursemaid is not afraid; they are being too unreasonable. The Princess will always be Nursemaid's Little Princess. I will always be here for you and take care of you!"
Just as Luo Bingbing's figure disappeared from sight in Clear Heart Pavilion, the princess who had gone out to enjoy the flowers returned home. To get back to her courtyard, she had to pass through Clear Heart Pavilion. As she walked along the corridor, she saw several people standing motionless like wooden stakes inside Clear Heart Pavilion; among them was her Beloved Daughter. At first glance, she thought they were just playing around, but when she approached them, she noticed they were wide-eyed yet unresponsive, not coming forward to greet her at all.
She felt anxious and rushed towards her daughter. Before reaching Luo Cai Feng, she saw her daughter's face swollen like a pig's head. A glance revealed that everyone else was fine except for her daughter and her daughter's Personal Maid who had been injured—one with a face swollen like a pig's head and the other collapsed on the ground unconscious. Crying out in panic, she shouted, "Feng'er, what happened? Who dared to do this to you? Tell your mother; I will definitely stand up for you! Speak!"
The few people frozen in shock finally snapped back to reality upon hearing her urgent cries. Their focus shifted towards her as they all bowed in unison.
Seeing that it was her mother who had returned and someone was backing her up, Luo Cai Feng immediately began complaining exaggeratedly about Luo Bingbing's faults without mentioning any of her own mistakes. The more the princess listened, the angrier she became; her internal flames burned hotter while Luo Caidie and her maid Xiaojun grew increasingly worried and fearful—not because they were concerned for Luo Bingbing but because they feared the princess's wrath would turn towards them.
As Luo Cai Feng cried while recounting events, the princess listened while trying to comfort her. Once Luo Cai Feng finished speaking and had cried enough while the princess had heard everything, Luo Caidie felt relieved that she hadn’t been blamed in front of the princess.
After forcibly suppressing her anger, the princess allowed everyone to disperse and sent for a doctor while instructing that Maid Xiaomei be carried away for treatment. She then took her Beloved Daughter's hand and asked her Personal Maid to help support Luo Cai Feng as they returned together to their Azure Water Pavilion to wait for the doctor to treat her daughter.
Upon returning to the Azure Water Pavilion, the princess immediately summoned the steward to discuss how to deal with Luo Bingbing.
As the princess and her companions had just arrived at the Azure Water Pavilion, a young servant from the Account Room rushed over to report. As soon as he entered the hall and saw the princess sitting in the center, he quickly knelt down, crying, "Princess, please spare me! It has nothing to do with me! I didn't kill the master..." The young servant kept repeating these phrases, bowing his head in desperation.
His words were heartfelt, but the princess and others present were confused. Fortunately, they managed to grasp the main point: the Accountant had been killed. However, wasn't the Accountant fine when he left the Azure Water Pavilion this morning? It was now the end of the month, and there were many accounts to settle; he should not have had time to leave the estate. Therefore, he must have been killed inside. But who would dare commit murder in broad daylight within the royal residence? Not to mention that there were so many guards in the palace; one would have to think twice before committing such an act under the emperor's nose. Everyone looked at the young servant with numerous questions, but he continued to bow and plead for mercy, completely oblivious to their questioning gazes.
The princess finally lost her patience and shouted at him, "Explain clearly what happened! Tell me everything you know from beginning to end, and be detailed."
The young servant hurriedly replied, "Yes, I will speak without holding anything back."
"This afternoon, I was in the room with the master as usual, sorting out accounts. Not long after, Six Princess and her Nursemaid arrived. When the master saw them, he asked them to leave. But then the Mute Princess suddenly spoke up. She said that the master was speechless; both I and the master were shocked that she could talk. The master pointed at her in surprise and asked how she could speak. I don't know what kind of sorcery she used; I only saw her wave her hand, and suddenly, both of the master's hands were rendered useless, falling to the ground. The master rolled on the floor in pain while scolding her. But before we knew it, she was right next to him, stepping on his head and smiling as she told him he was too noisy. Then... then she stomped down hard on his head into a pit she created on the ground—not only did she push his head into it, but she also crushed it open, causing brain matter to spill out. She even forced me to return her unpaid wages and interest. I thought it best to calm her down first so I could report this to you later, so I gave her what she demanded."
After hearing this account from the young servant, everyone felt both astonished and terrified—especially when they heard that Luo Bingbing could use sorcery.
Although fear lingered in the princess's heart, more than anything else, she felt puzzled. She had been in power within the royal residence for five or six years; even minor disturbances were reported to her promptly. Yet this time, she had received no information at all.
She couldn't help but wonder: "Are those people hiding things from me or is that Little Bitch too cunning? But those people are well-known to me; they wouldn't dare conceal anything from me out of fear for their own positions. Besides, they all know that I am in charge here; helping that Little Bitch would not only yield no benefits but also offend me and jeopardize their livelihoods. Yet that Little Bitch is only six years old—a mere child who wouldn't have such heavy schemes."
The more she thought about it, the more chaotic her mind became—like a tangled ball of thread with no clear beginning.
Suddenly, the steward entered from outside. Upon reaching the princess's presence, he immediately bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Your Highness. How may I serve you?"
"Mm, rise! First let them explain what happened," she said while pointing at her Personal Maid Chunhua and the Accountant's Assistant on the floor. "You two tell the steward what transpired."
The two of them replied in unison, "Yes."
Then, the maid Chunhua recounted what had happened at the Clear Heart Pavilion to the steward, while the young servant in the Account Room repeated what he had just told the princess.
After listening to their accounts, the steward felt both shocked and angry, as the Accountant was his cousin.
Once he adjusted his mindset, he turned his gaze to the princess seated at the head of the table and said, "Your Highness, I haven't seen that Little Bitch in a long time. I thought she was still the shy mute she used to be. As for whether she is human or a monster, I believe she should be human. Monsters are only found in legends; there are no such things in reality. Perhaps she is just trying to scare us because she fears we will hold her accountable. Why not send someone to call her here and ask?"
"Indeed, what the steward says makes sense. Let's send someone to bring her here! Who will go?" the princess replied.
At that moment, a maid named Chunxi from the Azure Water Pavilion eagerly stepped forward and said, "I am willing to go to Piaoyun Pavilion and bring her here."
"Very well, go ahead!"
Time flew by, and as the sun began to set, not only had Chunxi not returned, but they hadn't even seen a trace of Luo Bingbing. Everyone was starting to feel a bit impatient. The princess instructed the steward to hurry and check on them.
The steward felt quite unbalanced as he jogged toward Piaoyun Pavilion, continuously cursing in his heart: "Damn that Little Bitch for making the princess wait so long and for killing my cousin. Now I have to come personally to call you. Let's see how the princess deals with you later; it would be best if you were sent off to prison so we wouldn't waste food from the estate..."
