"How could you tell that I was trying to slack off?"

"Don't play coy, Madam Su, you were already standing!" Mother Rong cried, attempting to pull out her ruler. Despite her best efforts, Su Luo's hand held tight.

Mother Rong, armed with the Commandery Princess's orders, braved on. She gripped the ruler with both hands, pulling in her direction while pleading, "Madam Su, I am only following orders. Please, let go..."

Her words were cut short when Su Luo, who had been clutching tightly, suddenly released her grip. Caught off guard, Mother Rong stumbled backward, tripping over the high doorway and going sprawling.

She kept wailing in pain.

Su Luo looked apologetic. "Oops, Mother, I'm not to blame. You were the one who asked me to let go!"

Mother Rong seethed, harshly saying, "I would ask that you continue kneeling, Madam, or I might have to impose the princess's punishment on you."
