As the beloved concubine, she naturally didn't know about the mainland's secrets. In the eyes of these ordinary people, the imperial family was already a supreme existence. As they would say, everything under heaven is the emperor's land!
Only those who truly hold high power and weight can understand that above imperial power, there is still a powerful controller. In the end, the royal family is just a puppet of that force.
So, upon hearing Mu Gui Fei's words, Gao Tu's face clearly looked not too good, but he only gave a warning glance at Mu Gui Fei and turned his head to gaze intently at the crowd in the center of the grand hall.
"Clouds fall, I see that you are the only one left in General's mansion, so this time I won't hold you accountable for your crime of disrespecting the king! Now your maid has committed a heinous crime, letting her become Wu Qi's concubine is already the most lenient punishment."
Gao Tu slightly raised his chin, his majestic tone leaving no room for doubt.
"Hehe."
Suddenly, a faint laugh echoed through the sky, coming from outside the grand hall, with a hint of ridicule.
"This emperor is indeed majestic, thinking of giving orders to marry whoever he wants? Don't you think this entire continent is under your control?"
As soon as the words fell, an old man in a green robe walked slowly from outside the main hall. His pace was light and quick, you only saw him take two steps, but his whole person had already arrived in front of you, like a wisp of green smoke passing by, so fast that it was impossible to catch.
"Grandpa!"
At the moment she saw Ning Lao, a gleam of delight flashed across Ning Xin's eyes, and she walked towards the old man with a gentle smile on her elegant face.
"Grandpa, you're here?"
"Xin'er," Ning Lao stroked Ning Xin's head, his eyes full of affection, "Tell Grandpa, has anyone bullied you during the time Grandpa was away?"
After saying this, his gaze swept towards the high-ranking official Gao, as if hinting at something.
"Grandfather," Ning Xin's face was filled with grievance, "I had heard before that Xiao Feng's days in Longyuan Country were not easy to endure. I thought there was an exaggeration, but today, when I went to the wine house with Xiao Feng, Wu Qi from the Wu family directly broke in and even wanted to lay hands on Xiao Feng."
What is exaggeration? This thing is not only Wu's family can do it, she can also make the situation sound more serious.
As expected, Ning Lao's face fell, his old face clouded over, like the eve of a storm.
Then I couldn't stand those spoiled brats and took matters into my own hands, who knew Wu Qi actually wanted to take me back to serve him!
Ning Xin gritted her teeth, deliberately emphasizing the two words "serve him", with a hint of anger in her clear eyes: "Of course, how could I be willing to suffer at his hands? So, I'll make sure he's finished! As for what happened next, you saw it yourself - this emperor wanted to take revenge on the Wu family and had me and Xiao Feng dragged into the palace, planning to force me to become that scoundrel's concubine! And saying that I'm only fit to be his concubine!"
Ning Xin said with increasing grievance, she had been following her grandfather since childhood, who had ever seen her not showing respect? When had she suffered such humiliation? But Gao Tu was good at it, not only forcing her to be a concubine, but also saying that she was only worthy of becoming the young master's minor concubine!
Ning Lao let out a cold hum, and a chilly glint flashed through his calm gaze: "Xin Er, Grandfather has long told you that when dealing with enemies, don't show mercy. For scum like him, just crippling him is not enough. You should make him disabled for life, unable to stand up again."
"Grandpa's teachings are what I remember." Ning Xin batted her eyelashes coquettishly and smiled in response.
This conversation between the grandfather and grandson, which seemed to ignore Wu Ran's presence, thoroughly enraged him. His eyes were fixed on Ning Xin, his gaze as if wanting to torture her to death!
