Lao Fan tossed Xiao Linshuang onto the nearby chair and eyed the somewhat blurry Princess Anle with a touch of excitement in his heart. Nevertheless, unlike the Princess, he didn't show his feelings but cleared his throat, masking the stir of emotions, and with a twist of his mustache, hummed, "You little girl, why have you come? Is that boy bullying you again? If he dares, tell this old man, and I'll prepare you the strongest, most poisonous medicine. I'll have him bedridden for three days, at your mercy!"
Not only did Princess Anle burst into laughter at his words, but even Xia He and Qiu Ju couldn't help but cover their lips and chuckle. The "boy" Lao Fan was referring to was not Xia Zheng, but Xia Zheng's father, Xia Yuan—the Protectorate Grand General who was unbeatable on the battlefield, yet in his eyes, was just a scoundrel.
