Chapter 64 - I Dont Know How to Respond to That (1/2)

“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 ident.i.ty. After she married into the Murong family, more and more people respected her. Although some of the respect was fake, n.o.body ever challenged her openly.

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

Lady Murong was stunned for a moment, before she burst into laughter. “I’ve never heard such an answer before.”

Gu Bailu looked at her, dazed. Are you not here for trouble?

“So, are you going to let me go for giving a marvelous answer?”

“Give me a reason to let you go,” Lady Murong said solemnly, her smile gone.

“It was my parents who gave me the courage. You should look for trouble with them instead.” Gu Bailu continued with her line of reasoning.

Lady Murong was stunned again. “I don’t know how to argue with that!”

“It’s decided, then. You can look for trouble with them, and I’ll get out of here now.”

Gu Bailu went around Shao Di and Feng Qingtian and walked past the crowd with Ah Luo.

“Grandmother, why did you let her go?” Nan Ningxin came back to herself after recovering from the shock. Why had her grandmother let the woman go so easily?
