The butler and maids quickly brought a litter of Little Raccoons to the front courtyard, including the mother, for Ling to admire.
This time, Ling didn't hold them. She crouched to the side, watching with a grin.
'Just a few glances. I won't hold them or pet them. Little Mei Hua probably won't get mad.'
'If he does get mad, I'll let him scratch Daddy.'
'It's Daddy's fault for not leaving. That's why I'm stuck here looking at someone else's Raccoons.'
With that thought, Ling's guilt vanished. She took some dried fish from a maid and fed it to the mother Raccoon.
The Raccoons raised in the household were very docile, but Mrs. Gu still reminded the servants, "Watch them carefully. Don't let them hurt the Little Prince."
This was the Emperor's most cherished treasure. If she were injured in the Gu Family's home, the consequences would be dire.
Gu Xun walked over, crouched down beside Ling, and asked her, "You like them that much?"
