"Who is this child? How dare she speak to adults like that?"
"The child is clearly in the wrong."
"Yes, indeed."
Of course, the others in the hall knew who was right and who was wrong. But when it came to their own interests, they had to side with the accusers. Weighing their interests before making a decision was their code of conduct—a principle they also taught their own children.
The little one furrowed her brows. This group of adults is completely unreasonable. She decided to take action.
But just at that moment, a series of footsteps echoed through the room. Luo Tian, dressed in festive garb, entered the great hall with the servants of Luo Mansion in tow.
"What happened here? Why is it so noisy?" he demanded, his angry gaze sweeping across the hall. Today is my birthday banquet. It should be a joyous occasion, yet it's turned into this chaos. Is this going to shorten my lifespan?
"Master Luo Tian."
"Good heavens, we've disturbed the birthday man himself."
