HRPM – Chapter 277 The Female Bandit Makes Her Appearance (3)

“Father Emperor, surely you’re not going to excuse her again in the name of compassion over law? The mistake Jin Luoluo made this time is no small matter. If you let her off so easily, she’ll only become even bolder in the future and dare to do anything. As the ruler of the nation, you should treat everyone who breaks the law with fairness and impartiality.”

After being lectured by his own son like that, the Emperor found it difficult to openly go easy on Jin Luoluo.

“Well… this matter is neither entirely serious nor entirely trivial. I think both of you have valid points. How about this—you two debate it out. I’ll listen to both sides, see whose argument makes more sense, and then make an impartial judgment.”

The Emperor came up with a compromise.

“Fine, fine, fine! Go ahead and bring it on, you jinx. I’m definitely not afraid of you.”

Jin Luoluo planted one sandal-clad foot on a stool and slapped the saber at her waist. Her bandit nature was on full display.

Hmph. Let’s see how I reform this jinx’s twisted outlook on life and values.

Originally, Xiao Yu had also intended to demand an explanation from her. However, seeing Jin Luoluo’s determination to argue until she completely crushed her opponent, he realized that she had come prepared for battle.

Moreover, this girl had always been a master of sophistry. Her words were never merely irritating—they were always even more infuriating than expected. Of all people, he was the most helpless against her. The moment she put on a pitiful, pleading expression, he would immediately surrender.

The bird that sticks its head out gets shot first.

Jin Luoluo was far too powerful a weapon. He couldn’t handle her.

Better let Xiao Che be the one to stick his neck out.

As for Xiao Luo, he had never liked engaging in verbal sparring with women. What he excelled at was ambushes—when he struck, he preferred to end things in a single blow.

More importantly, although he felt annoyed by Jin Luoluo’s behavior, he also knew that she had every right to act as she pleased. She possessed her own freedom, and he had no right to interfere with it.

So despite his displeasure, he suppressed it.

He was a mature man. He understood that a woman as unconventional and shocking as Jin Luoluo would always have an endless stream of strange and unexpected behaviors. If he wanted to get along with her, he needed to have a tolerant heart.

Meanwhile, Xiao Che looked at Jin Luoluo’s hooligan-like bandit pose—her arrogant attitude that clearly showed she didn’t take him seriously at all—and nearly exploded with anger.

Then his gaze landed on the foot she had propped up on the stool, and his temper flared even higher.

“Just look at yourself! Do you still resemble a respectable young lady from a noble family? You’re dressed in such a ridiculous mishmash that anyone who saw you would think you were on your way to rob houses and plunder villages. And now you’ve even put your foot up there! I’ve never seen a woman so crude and vulgar. What do you think you are—a rustic village girl from the wilderness?”
