When Zheng Xiao heard her father say there was something wrong with her head, she couldn't sit still any longer.
"Dad, how can you say that about me!"
SMACK!
Zheng Ming finally lost his patience and slapped her. "You shut your mouth! You don't have a say here!"
Zheng Xiao covered her face, looking at her father in disbelief. He had never hit her before in her entire life.
Zheng Ming looked at his daughter in exasperation.
This man before us is from the Xue Family, representing the entire clan! And my foolish daughter dares to talk back to him! She's so blind! If this lord were to actually hold a grudge against our family, we would be finished. Not only that, but the Zheng Family might cease to exist in the Western Region!
"My lord, please don't mind my foolish child," Zheng Ming said with a flattering smile. "Rest assured, we have absolutely no intention of questioning you. I was just a bit surprised!"
