She quickly grabbed her phone to check, and when she saw that it was her grandfather's number, An Xiaomian knew she was about to get scolded.
She took a deep breath, composed herself, and then pressed to answer.
Sure enough, as soon as the call connected, the Old King's angry voice rang out: "Xiao Mian, you troublesome girl, why don't you listen? You went alone to retrieve the child, let the guard and child return first, and stayed behind yourself. Tell me, have they bullied you these past two days? Are you hurt?"
"Grandpa, I'm sorry to make you worried, but I'm fine. Actually, they didn't hit me because I threatened them with Shangguan Xiu. They're afraid of him, knowing he loves me dearly, so they didn't dare to lay a hand on me..." An Xiaomian quickly explained, while also taking the opportunity to clean up Shangguan Xiu's image in front of the Old King.
Otherwise, the Old King would always think Shangguan Xiu is a bad guy.
