After a moment of distraction, a solution came to Li Tiao's mind: "Master, didn't you say before that I shouldn't interfere in Granny Liu's affairs?"

The Fourth Prince, who had a half-smile, was slightly taken aback by Li Tiao's words. He clearly hadn't expected that Li Tiao, who was always so cautious in front of him, would also grow claws without his noticing.

He actually started scratching me, so I had to shut him down with my own words!

The Fourth Prince tapped his back teeth and retorted, "Are you the master or is the master?"

"Of course, Your Highness is the master." Li Tiao smiled obsequiously, but in her mind, she was cursing the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince nodded solemnly: "Since I am the master, why don't you answer my questions and even talk back..."

The Fourth Prince, who had been speaking calmly, suddenly stopped, then slammed his hand on the table: "What is the punishment for talking back!"

The sudden sound of slamming the table startled Li Tiao, who involuntarily closed her eyes and thought to herself that this person was shamelessly hypocritical.

Since the situation was beyond her control, Li Tiao was able to be flexible and adaptable: "Whatever you wish to ask me, I will answer without reservation."

Li Tiao wanted to finish asking the questions quickly so she could plan her escape; otherwise, she was going to go crazy dealing with such an unpredictable man.

But... Li Tiao's attitude was so good, the Fourth Prince became arrogant, turning his thumb ring while staring at Li Tiao.

Li Tiao felt a chill run down her spine from the stare and couldn't help but whisper a reminder to the Fourth Prince: "Your Highness..."

"Granny Liu has confessed."

"Confessed?" Even though Li Tiao's reaction speed had been honed, she still couldn't help but stammer when she heard the Fourth Prince's words: "Confessed...confessed...confessed to what?"
