The old man said with dissatisfaction, ”Even though Little Nine is young, she has great strength. Right now, the only one of her age in the palace is only Third Princess, and the only ones left are the children of princes and princesses. With Third Princess's delicate and weak appearance, not to mention one, even two of her aren't a match for us, Little Nine, right, Little Nine?”
Little Nine, who was playing with a rattan ball, immediately raised her head when her grandfather called out to her. She replied in a loud and clear voice, ”Yes!”
Xu Jingniang looked exasperatingly at Little Nine. This girl, she didn't even know what she was asking about. Just say yes, but thinking about Little Nine's ”Brilliant” record, Xu Jingniang felt that her worries were unnecessary.
Little Nine was born with great strength and ate as much as she needed. She didn't look like a two year old girl at all. Cheng Mingrui, who was one month older than her, was not as strong as her. Moreover, Little Nine's battle strength was on par with the old man and Mo Pingchu's, whether intentionally or not.
Once, the old tutor came knocking on his door and brought a four year old boy with him. He looked quite adorable with a strong head and strong body.
The three children were playing in the yard while the old men were sitting and chatting in the pavilion. Little Nine had never liked to be followed closely by others, so maidservant and her servants could only watch from a distance.
Somehow, the boy and Little Nine started to snatch things from each other. How could Little Nine allow others to snatch things from her hands? Naturally, she wouldn't let go no matter what. The boy tried his best to pull her, but it was too late. He reached out his hand to push Little Nine away, causing her to fall to the ground. Cheng Mingrui couldn't help but cry when he saw that Little Nine had been bullied.
Little Nine got up from the ground and rushed towards the boy like a calf, slamming her head into his chest and knocking him to the ground. Soon after, Little Nine rode on the boy's body like a bolt of lightning. She raised her fist and was about to hit him. That posture immediately scared the boy away and made him beg for mercy.
When the old man and his men rushed over and wanted to shout for Little Nine to stop, they saw Little Nine roll her eyes at the boy in disdain. She lowered her fist and said, ”How cowardly!” Then he looked up high and pulled Cheng Mingrui aside to play.
Everyone was stunned by the scene before them. The old man looked at the victorious Little Nine, then at the listless boy, and he couldn't help but think to himself: Little Nine was right, this kid is indeed very cowardly.
Ever since Little Nine became famous in one battle, the old man felt extremely proud. At the same time, he began to intentionally or unintentionally teach Little Nine some martial arts. When he discovered that Little Nine would really be able to communicate with others by teaching them, he became more and more interested.
This was also another aspect that made Xu Jingniang extremely worried. She did not wish for her daughter to become a female overlord in the future at all.
The old man proudly explained to Xu Jingniang, ”Little Nine doesn't have to worry about being bullied when she attends lessons at the palace. I'm just worried that as for the teachers, they shouldn't be those old teachers who punish people at will. Little Nine doesn't like them.”
Xu Jingniang looked at the old man speechlessly. She thought to herself, ”As long as the old man can bear with Little Nine's mischief, he won't be driven crazy. I'll thank the heavens and earth for that.”
Xu Jingniang felt from the bottom of her heart that it was much more troublesome to support Little Nine than to support Mo Pingchu and his brothers!
Since she could run and jump, there was no place in the Mansion of State Duke that could stop Little Nine's footsteps of exploration. After she ran and jumped, there was no place for her to run or play, so she turned her gaze towards the items in the house.
