Duoduo was sharp-eyed and saw at a glance that the embroidery hoop in Pangya's hand was exactly the one she had just finished.
Give it back to me!
Duoduo reached out to snatch it, but Pangya was well-prepared and immediately held the embroidery hoop high up in the air.
This is my embroidery hoop. Why should I give it to you?
Duoduo jumped up and down, trying to grab the embroidery hoop from Pangya's hand.
However, she was small, and no matter how high she jumped, she could not reach it.
Duoduo was so anxious that she broke out in a sweat.
Give it back to me. I clearly embroidered this. You are being unreasonable.
Pangya proudly put one hand on her hip.
You embroidered it? What proof do you have that it is yours?
Call out to it, and if it answers you, then it is yours!
Duoduo was so angry that tears streamed down her face.
She never expected Pangya to bully her like this!
If she had known, she would have taken the embroidery hoop with her when she left.
How about you kneel down and beg me? If I am in a good mood, maybe I will let you have it.
Pangya's eyes darted around as she came up with an idea.
In your dreams!
Duoduo turned her head away, preparing to embroider a new one.
She had already split all her silk threads earlier. As long as she re-threaded the needle and embroidered another row, she could still complete her task.
However, when she looked back, she saw that all the embroidery threads she had just sorted out were cut into pieces.
Duoduo stared dumbfounded at the severed sections of embroidery thread.
This! This! Pangya, how could you ruin things like this!
Pangya fiercely covered Duoduo's mouth.
Stop shouting! What proof do you have that I did it?
I could even say you cut them yourself just so you would not have to finish the task the nanny assigned!
Seeing that her last way out had been cut off by Pangya, a surge of anger rose in her heart, and Duoduo bit down hard on Pangya's hand.
Ah!
Pangya had not expected Duoduo to bite her, and she cried out loudly.
Stinky Duoduo, let go right now! You bad person! I will beat you to death!
Pangya picked up the embroidery hoop beside her and swung it down at Duoduo's head.
Duoduo bit Pangya's hand tightly, letting the embroidery hoop fall toward her.
However, Pangya's embroidery hoop never landed.
It was caught by someone!
Pangya turned around and saw Nanny Li standing behind her, looking at them with a gloomy expression.
Pangya was the first to burst into tears.
Nanny, please save me! My hand is going to be bitten off by her!
Nanny Li looked at Duoduo, who was still biting Pangya tenaciously. The hatred in Duoduo's eyes made her look like a wounded little beast.
Duoduo, let go!
Nanny Li ordered.
Duoduo kept biting and refused to let go.
Pangya, did you bully Duoduo again?
Pangya was in so much pain that she felt her hand was about to break off.
Large teardrops rolled out of her eyes.
Nanny, I did not! She cradled her hand, her whole body trembling.
Nanny Li sat down on a chair nearby.
Since you refuse to tell the truth, then I cannot help you.
Pangya saw that Duoduo completely ignored the nanny's words just now.
She was worried that if even the nanny could not command Duoduo, would her hand not be ruined?
That absolutely could not happen!
Duoduo, I was wrong. I apologize to you!
I was just teasing you earlier, really. I did not think you would actually get angry!
I was wrong, will you please forgive me?
Pangya begged Duoduo humbly, and the grip of Duoduo's teeth loosened a bit.
Ahem!
Nanny Li, sitting to the side, suddenly coughed.
Duoduo instantly bit down harder again.
Ah! Pangya cried out in pain, groaning loudly.
Pangya truly could not bear the pain anymore, and she fell to her knees before Duoduo.
Duoduo, I was wrong. I am kneeling down for you, will you please let go?
Pangya wept bitterly, filled with extreme regret.
Nanny Li gently patted Duoduo's head.
All right, she knows she was wrong now.
Duoduo released her bite, and tears streamed down her face.
She stole my embroidery hoop and cut my embroidery threads!
Nanny Li looked at Pangya with a stern face.
You are indeed at fault in this matter. The cost of these embroidery threads will be deducted from your monthly allowance.
As for what just happened, although she snatched your embroidery hoop, you also bit her, so we will consider it even.
This matter is now over. Neither of you is allowed to hold a grudge. Do you understand?
Pangya was also a bit afraid of Duoduo now. She might be small, but her bite hurt to death!
Although Duoduo was still very angry, she was obedient by nature.
This servant understands!
The two answered in unison.
Nanny Li collected the embroidery threads, hoops, and other tools to prevent them from being ruined further.
All right, both of you go do what you are supposed to do.
Nanny Li left.
Pangya glared fiercely at Duoduo and walked out as well.
Duoduo plopped down onto a chair, puffing her cheeks in anger.
Why had she not grown up yet?
Once she grew up, she would definitely be able to beat Pangya!
Duoduo remembered what Lüdou had said: she needed to eat more rice so she could grow fast and tall!
Therefore, she decided that starting tonight, she would eat an extra bowl of rice.
When she grew as tall as Pangya, Pangya would not dare bully her anymore!
Duoduo held onto this pent-up anger all the way until dinner.
She hurried to the study where the Prince of Pingyang stayed, just as Ling Feng was having the servants set out dinner.
Duoduo washed her hands clean, climbed onto a chair, and prepared to taste the food.
As usual, Ling Feng picked up only one chopstick-full of each dish and placed it into her bowl.
Could you give me a little more? Duoduo looked at the Prince of Pingyang with her big eyes.
The Prince of Pingyang raised an eyebrow.
Was she making demands now?
Ling Feng looked at the Prince of Pingyang, and the Prince nodded.
Taking the initiative, Ling Feng added two more chopstick-fulls of food into her bowl.
Then, he began to serve Duoduo some rice.
In the past, Ling Feng would only serve her half a small bowl.
Can I have a full bowl? Duoduo made another request.
The expression on the Prince of Pingyang's face seemed to crack a little.
Give it to her.
The Prince of Pingyang spoke, and Ling Feng served a large, full bowl of rice, placing it in front of Duoduo.
Duoduo buried her head and started eating.
Seeing the Prince of Pingyang signal him with his eyes, Ling Feng nodded and backed out of the room.
Duoduo viciously devoured the food on her chopsticks in one bite, and then fiercely shoveled a mouthful of rice into her mouth.
Her expression made it look as though she treated the food as her enemy.
A bite of food, a bite of rice, Duoduo ate with great exertion.
The Prince of Pingyang watched her eat, looking thoughtful.
A short while later, Ling Feng walked back in.
Ling Feng leaned close to the Prince of Pingyang's ear and whispered a few words.
The way the Prince of Pingyang looked at Duoduo changed.
Really? Did you ask clearly?
Ling Feng nodded, It is true.
The Prince of Pingyang waved his hand, and Ling Feng retreated to stand behind him.
When Duoduo was only halfway done eating, her stomach was already uncomfortably full.
She looked at the remaining food and really wanted to give up.
But the moment she thought of Pangya's smug look, she found her strength again.
That is enough. Eating too much at once will ruin your stomach.
The Prince of Pingyang gestured for Ling Feng to take the bowl away, and Duoduo could not help but let out a loud burp.
She hastily covered her mouth, her face blushing bright red.
