With her disheveled hair, stained clothes, and a face streaked with blood and tears, Mu Yaoyao looked worse than a beggar.
However, Princess Jun Wuxia was able to recognize Mu Yaoyao from the latter's eyes and voice.
"Mu Yaoyao? Good gracious!"
Princess Jun Wuxia cried out in surprise. "You — what have you done to yourself? How did you…"
Granny Yue dropped to her knees at Princess Jun Wuxia's feet, then spoke in a solemn tone.
"Your Royal Highness, I made a terrible mistake. I kicked Princess Mu before I could recognize her. I must be punished for what I did."
Jun Wuxia waved her off. "You only did it to protect me and it was an instinctive reaction. You're not to be blamed. Do get up."
Granny Yue let out a breath of relief and rose to her feet.
Jun Wuxia turned her attention to Mu Yaoyao now.
Had Granny Yue kicked her that hard?
Was she going to have to apologize to the Mu family now?
