I Don't Know How to Respond to That

"My lady…" Everybody cleared the way and bowed to her.

This was none other than Lady Murong. She had been watching a play inside the house. Little did she know that a better play was going on in the yard.

Gu Bailu glanced back at her. "Granny, I didn't mean to interrupt your birthday celebration, but if you think you can do whatever you want to me just because I'm useless, don't blame me for being bold."

"Who gave you such courage?" Lady Murong hadn't been convinced of the servants' report until now.

She didn't expect the intruder to challenge her outright.

How many years had it been since anybody talked to her like that?

She was born with a great identity. After she married into the Murong family, more and more people respected her. Although some of the respect was fake, nobody ever challenged her openly.

"My parents, of course. What a meaningless question…" Gu Bailu replied matter-of-factly.
