Su Le's understanding was a mix of clarity and confusion, but she chose not to dwell on it. She nodded vigorously, hoping this would prevent her mother from getting angry. However, she secretly vowed that if her second brother dared to upset their mother again, she would stealthily retaliate.
Gu Zi watched her, her large eyes sparkling with an intelligent light. She wondered what little schemes were brewing in her daughter's mind. In truth, she could never bear to be angry with Su Le. Seeing her in this defiant state, Gu Zi was more amused than upset. She believed that with Su Le's fiery spirit, she would never be taken advantage of, especially not by unworthy men. The only downside was that her second child might bear the brunt of his sister's wrath.
