Seeing Luo Ning really getting up to go to the Imperial Palace, Duke Dingguo was startled.
"What are you doing? Haven't you heard that family disgraces should not be publicized?"
Of course, on the surface, a Princess Consort held a higher honor.
"With such an incident happening at home, it harms your reputation as a Princess Consort. What kind of scene are you creating today?"
He wasn't as harsh anymore, and he seemed much gentler overall; to those unaware, he might even appear a loving father.
Luo Ning sneered, "My mother was almost killed, and you think I still care about reputation?"
She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Father, why are you so agitated? Could it be that you're feeling guilty?"
Duke Dingguo snorted, "Why would I feel guilty?"
Luo Ning looked at him with suspicion.
"Did you order someone to do this? Otherwise, why wouldn't you be concerned about Mother's health upon your return but instead worried about me making this a public issue?"
