Lifting Xiao Linshuang like she was picking up a little chick, Elder Zhen plucked her from Princess Anle's lap and pointed at her forehead, scolding her without any spirit, "You useless thing! Truly useless, without merit! And here I thought of calling you a little wolf cub! Don't you know how to fight back? They bully you like that, and you don't know how to bite them? Huh? You used to bite me so fiercely before, but now, when it's time to bite someone else, oh, you're reluctant?"
Xiao Linshuang stiffened her neck and endured Old Mr. Zhen's finger poking without any attempt to dodge, not because she didn't dare to, but because she didn't want to. After all, this old man was her master, and besides, about today's incident, she indeed had been slow to react. If she had realized sooner that Meng Chunyan's words had a hidden meaning, she wouldn't have failed to catch up with the carriage, missing her chance for revenge.
