The Devil's Law: Pampering the Revengeful Girl

"Princess, the Queen requests your presence in the study," Butler Zhao called respectfully from the doorway.

Nuanli, who was lying on the bed reading, obediently replied, "I know, Uncle Wang, I'll go right away..." The butler looked pitifully at the door, his aged eyes filled with tears, and turned to leave.

Nuanli straightened her clothes, afraid of being scolded by her stepmother, and then carefully walked towards her father's study, because no one would notice her petite figure.

"Why won't Mother let that vile woman leave the palace? Father is mine, and the throne is naturally mine too." A sharp voice made the noble lady sitting on the sofa frown.

He grabbed the girl's hands and comforted her, "Baby, you are your mother's precious child. I will not wrong you. Since your mother can make that woman die silently, I can also make that bitch's daughter die silently." His eyes revealed a sinister look.

"Who is that woman, Mother? Why doesn't Qinqin know?" The girl stared at her mother curiously.

The noblewoman covered the girl's mouth, glanced around cautiously, and said, "My darling, that woman is the Empress you hate the most. As long as your mother can kill that little bitch, I will be the only Empress in Asia, and you will be the only Princess."

"Really? Long live the Empress Dowager! Long live the Empress Dowager!" Eleven-year-old Nuanqin shouted happily in her mother's arms.

They didn't notice anything amiss. Nuanli, standing at the door, trembled and couldn't believe what was being said inside. Although her stepmother was strict with her, her father always told her that as a royal princess, she must have a dignified appearance, so she didn't blame her stepmother for being strict. But she never imagined that her beloved mother was killed by this devilish stepmother.

Nuanli retreated in fear, accidentally bumping into a flowerpot by the door. The noblewoman in the study immediately called out alertly, "Who's there? Who's at the door...?"

Nuanli immediately picked up the flowerpot and hid in another guest room, her little hands clenched nervously as she observed her surroundings.

The noblewoman opened the door and saw that there was no one outside. Nuanqin, who was next to her, curiously peeked out and looked around, tugging at the noblewoman's clothes: "Mother, there's no one here."

"Alright, it's getting late. My darling, let your mother put you to sleep." The noblewoman lovingly picked up the girl and walked into the dark corridor.

As the footsteps grew fainter, Nuanli sat down on the floor, staring blankly ahead. Her mind kept replaying her stepmother's words. She bit her lip, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes...

She vaguely remembered her mother's last words, "Li'er, take good care of yourself, take good care of yourself..." Her mother's weak eyes and kind smile flooded into Nuanli's mind.

Mother, I will protect myself well, I definitely will!! If I tell Father about this, he will definitely not believe an eleven-year-old like me, and he will believe that wicked stepmother even more.

Holding onto the door, she slowly got up, feeling dizzy. She gritted her teeth and persevered, walking step by step back to her room.

She walked to her desk in her room and looked at the photo of herself and her mother. She smiled knowingly, though it was a smile through her tears. She touched the frame and tears dripped onto it. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock..." Then came the sound she least wanted to hear: "Is Li'er there? I'm coming in!"

Nuanli immediately wiped away her tears and put the photo back in the distance. Nuanli had to be strong and not show any panic. She gave herself a mental boost.
