Inside Li Castle.
Two luxury cars arrived almost simultaneously. The person inside the red Ferrari was the first to get off. Dressed in leather jacket and trousers, she exuded a heroic and stunning aura, capturing everyoneâs attention.
The car door of the Bentley also opened. The female officer busily attended to the person inside, carefully ensuring she wouldnât bump into anything. âYour Highness, be careful.â
Scarlett stepped out of the car with a smile, her small oval face full of vibrant cheer, clearly in a good mood.
Li Qiyun cast a sharp glance at her, her red lips curling into a sneer, as if observing a childish prank. Coldly, she said, âPrincess, you should watch less TV dramas in the future, lest your brain becomes waterlogged.â
âWhat do you mean?â Scarlett, humiliated without cause, immediately lost her composure and questioned her.
Li Qiyun didnât even glance at her, as if too lazy to bother, retracting her gaze and striding inside with her long straight legs.
Educating the little girl was her parentsâ business, nothing to do with her!
She simply found the innocent and self-satisfied smile of the little girl, who thought sheâd won, displeasing!
âYoung lady.â
âYoung lady.â
Along the way, the servants of the Li family greeted Li Qiyun with respect.
Li Qiyun walked ahead with her hands in her pockets, exuding coolness, ignoring everyone.
An angered Scarlett followed behind, and upon hearing others refer to Li Qiyun as the young lady, she understood Li Qiyunâs identity.
The Li family had only one girl; this must be Brother Beijueâs cousin, right?
The hostility in her eyes towards Li Qiyun shifted, becoming more scrutinizing and attempting to ally.
However, the female officer beside her muttered softly, âWhat kind of person is that, so impolite.â
Scarlett immediately glared at her.
The female officer turned pale and closed her mouth.
Soon, they arrived at the super large, super luxurious reception room of the Li family.
As soon as Scarlett entered, she was dumbfounded and blurted out, âDaddy?â
Sitting on the living room sofa drinking tea were two people; one was Old Master Li and the other a well-groomed, middle-aged wealthy man. If not the royal familyâs second in line for succession, who else would be Scarlettâs father?
Li Qiyun remained unfazed, her expression unchanged.
The Old Masterâs methods have always been tough and ruthless.
With Scarlettâs little girlish schemes, daring to plot against Beijue on the Old Masterâs turf was simply asking for trouble!
As expected.
Li Qiyunâs red lips curled slightly, her peripheral vision catching a glimpse of Scarlettâs surprise, her eyes filled with mocking disdain.
Wasnât she dreaming, waiting for the Old Master to bow down to the rumors and conveniently let Beijue associate with her?
This is the Old Masterâs response!
Scarlett had no idea her little thoughts had been completely seen through. Still in shock, she saw the middle-aged man stand up, smiling as he spoke to Old Master Li, âI apologize; my unworthy daughter has disturbed you here for so long.â
âYouâre too kind. Her Highness Scarlett accidentally injured her leg and should recuperate here. Unfortunately, I am recently unwell and cannot accompany Her Royal Highness for a walk.â
âOld Master Jue, youâre too courteous. Sheâs young and recovers quickly. I think sheâs already fine. Besides, Her Majesty the Queen misses her, so Iâll take her back now.â
âIs that so? Please convey my regards to Her Majesty the Queen.â
Her Majesty the Queen is Scarlettâs grandmother, now in her eighties, highly esteemed and loved by the people in Country W.
The entire royal family almost rests on her shoulders.
âAlright then, Old Master Jue, please take care of yourself and rest well. We wonât disturb you any longer.â
âDaddy, Iâ¦â
Before Scarlett finished speaking, the man glanced at her, his eyes full of warning.
She dared not say another word, reluctantly following behind him and leavingâ¦
