After being reborn, I was won over by the heartfelt words of my loyal bodyguard.

Chapter 247: Reprimand

"Father..." Xu Jinxin called out the name of Prime Minister Xu, never expecting that he would make her and Gan Luo bow.

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Xu was reprimanding Xu Jinxin here.

Ultimately, Xu Jinxin had no choice but to bow to Gan Luo here.

Gan Luo simply said, "Get up."

Seeing Gan Luo's current state, Xu Jinxin was furious and wanted to punch him, but in the end, she held back. After all, he was the eldest princess, while she was just a young lady from the Prime Minister's mansion.

Isn't there such a huge difference in their social status?

In the end, Xu Jinxin simply turned around and left. Seeing Xu Jinxin leave so angrily, Gan Luo found it somewhat laughable at that moment.

Gan Luo looked at Xu Jinxin and asked her, "I'd like to know how much you dislike me, since you only bowed to me here and then ran away."

Ultimately, Xu Jinxin had no choice but to stay.

She turned her head and glared angrily at Gan Luo. "What kind of trouble are you trying to cause? Princess, just say what you want to say directly. There's no need to hide anything here."

Seeing Xu Jinxin's angry expression, Gan Luo couldn't help but tease her.

Xu Jinxin then left the place, while Gan Luo and Prime Minister Xu chatted for a while. After they finished talking, they went their separate ways.

Before leaving, Gan Luo told Prime Minister Xu, "Heaven is watching what people do. I hope Your Excellency understands this principle."

When Prime Minister Xu heard Gan Luo say this, he nodded slightly.

For some reason, he always felt that Gan Luo seemed to know something.

If Gan Luo really knows something, what should we do next? I don't know why, but I'm feeling incredibly panicked right now.

Gan Luo then turned his gaze to Lin Fengmian. "Tell me, was what I did right or wrong? For me, I only hope..."

Before Gan Luo could finish speaking, Lin Fengmian told him directly, "Actually, there is no absolute right or wrong in this world, nor are there absolutely good or bad people, right?"

Gan Luo then told Lin Fengmian that this was indeed the case.

Lin Fengmian told Gan Luo that as long as Gan Luo was happy, that was all that mattered.

The two of them seemed to be in perfect harmony, like a wife leading and a husband following.

Neither Green Bamboo nor Jade Bamboo knew what to say. They felt like they were being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), so they simply covered their eyes.

In fact, both of them had always hoped that Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian could be together, after all, they seemed to be a perfect match, even though Lin Fengmian was just a lowly guard.

Gan Luo was somewhat surprised by the actions of Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo. At this moment, Gan Luo turned his gaze to Li Ruohua. "You don't need to stay by my side during this time. Why don't you go back and take care of your mother? After all, your mother's health is extremely poor right now."

Lin Ruohua then told Gan Luo, "I have already gone back before, but my mother told me to stay by Gan Luo's side."

Meanwhile, Xu Jinxin was furious. She never expected to be tricked by Gan Luo. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Xu Jinxin then went straight home and refused to acknowledge or speak to Prime Minister Xu.

Seeing Xu Jinxin's current state, Prime Minister Xu naturally understood that Xu Jinxin was still resentful towards her. He then walked directly to Xu Jinxin. "I know what you're angry about, but I also want to tell you something: you need to understand the difference in your status with Gan Luo, understand?"

The difference in their social status is like night and day. If Xu Jinxin offends Gan Luo, she'll definitely be in deep trouble.

"But Father, I find Gan Luo's actions truly disgusting. You know, Gan Luo clearly did it on purpose. The more I look at her, the more I want to hate her..."

Even if Gan Luo was a princess, so what?

For Xu Jinxin, even though Gan Luo was a princess, she still disliked him, and she had never really liked him.

Inside the palace, Gan Yanling naturally learned of this news as well. After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Gan Yanling felt a little puzzled for a moment. He didn't know why Gan Luo went to the Prime Minister's residence, nor what Gan Luo and the Prime Minister had talked about.

According to the scouts, it seems the two of them are talking about something related to Jiangnan.

"However, as far as I am concerned, I think this matter of going to the south of the Yangtze River can actually be handed over to Shangguan Mufeng. After all, this young master Shangguan has only been in office for a short time, and he can use this mission to hone his abilities."

These were some of Gan Yanling's later thoughts, but unfortunately, an imperial edict had already been issued at that time. Since the edict had been issued, it certainly could not be withdrawn casually. As the saying goes, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond.

Moreover, he had witnessed Shangguan Mufeng's morally questionable actions over the past few days. It was understandable that Shangguan Mufeng had previously been a male concubine in Ganluo's mansion.

After all, none of the people Gan Luo liked were useless... except for Zhao Wuji.

Gan Luo couldn't help but sneeze afterward, as if someone was calling out to her.

Gan Luo was filled with doubt, and at this moment, he turned his gaze to the princess's residence in front of him.

However, Gan Luo had no intention of going in. Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo simply stayed silently behind Gan Luo. "I'm a little bored today, so why don't you accompany me to the market and see if there's anything new or interesting?"

They focused their attention on Gan Luo, thinking carefully that Gan Luo was actually just a young girl.

It was only because of his status that he acted so reserved.

Sometimes, Gan Luo wished he were just an ordinary child from an ordinary family.

She was not the eldest princess of a country, after all, the status, position, and responsibilities of an eldest princess were things Gan Luo did not want.

Looking back on everything that happened, Gan Luo felt as if it were all a dream.
