The guard could not help but frown. Cao Lanying had been punished by their master to reflect on her behavior in her chambers, so what was she doing here at the gates?
Although the Eldest Miss Cao was favored and spoiled, the guards within the Cao family were painfully aware that the one in control was Cao Haolong. As long as he decided on something, then others were not to challenge his authority.
The fact that their Eldest Lady had appeared here was enough to make them all cautious. The two guards shared a gaze before one of them soundlessly withdrew.
Cao Haolong was currently in the mansion; he worked in his study, so the guard was rushing to find him. They dared not make their own decisions on how to treat this spoiled young lady, but they knew that he could determine their actions.
Cao Lanying had indeed been forced to stay in her chambers. Her brother had even positioned two guards outside her door to ensure that she could not escape.
