However, Su Luo had always respected the children's wishes, so since Eryue had spoken up, she agreed.
Mother Su was grumbling and muttering as she fed the pair of little hamsters.
"A pair of white mice, being treated like treasures!"
"Children raised in this palace with such care, truly have never seen the world!"
"What a waste, giving such good stuff to mice to eat; things like these should just be thrown into the water to drown!"
...
Speaking thus, Mother Su jabbed the two little hamsters hard with a stick.
The little hamsters were eating happily, but were suddenly attacked, squeaking in panic as they scurried around the cage.
Mother Su then laughed joyfully.
Her voice was somewhat hoarse, with a cackling laughter that was rather terrifying.
"You little mice better wise up, I am the highest-ranking person in this courtyard apart from His Highness, so you'd better behave in front of me and stop making noise all day long!"
