Shangguan Ling coldly said, "If you keep trying to dodge the truth, my Brocade Spring Saber might no longer stay sheathed!"
Brocade Spring Saber... This is the Jinyi Guard!
Prefect Cao shivered with fright and dared not hesitate any longer. He candidly confessed all his dealings with A Mu Shan.
It turned out that A Mu Shan took the initiative to approach Prefect Cao, and the thod to win him over was quite simple—it was that Loulan beauty.
"In a mont of weakness... It... It must have been that wicked woman who used so lowly ans on , making lose control... Please, my lord, see this clearly!"
"Nonsense."
Shangguan Ling glared at him.
Lu Yuan lazily said, "This bit of information is hardly worth your life."
Clang!
Shangguan Ling moved his thumb and pushed out three inches of the Brocade Spring Saber.
Prefect Cao hurriedly said, "There’s also... also the Loulan King is ill... gravely ill... It’s said... he’s near the end... Several princes are secretly vying for the throne, and A Mu Shan... A Mu Shan ca to You State to earn rit! But what rit he seeks, I do not know..."
"Everything I have said is true! Please, my lord, see this clearly!"
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.
Shangguan Ling whispered, "Grand Commander, the Loulan King is the leader of the top ten vassals. If he’s gravely ill, Loulan’s internal conflict will inevitably cause turmoil among the top ten vassals. No wonder he didn’t attend the wedding banquet of the Liang Country’s Imperial Family and the Thousand chanism Pavilion."
Lu Yuan acknowledged with a hum.
This line of reasoning made sense.
As for A Mu Shan’s purpose in coming to You State, it seed it was due to Chen Long.
Chen Long was the legitimate eldest son of the Loulan King, and as long as he lived, he posed a significant threat to the other princes.
Perhaps the Loulan King also wanted to kill this son.
"Who is the strategist backing A Mu Shan?"
Lu Yuan asked.
Prefect Cao hesitantly asked, "My lord... what do you an?"
Shangguan Ling sneered, "Considering how blockheaded A Mu Shan is, such a complex plan couldn’t be his idea alone. Even though it’s still a ss, it could be considered beautifully sculpted ss!"
Prefect Cao: "..."
Shangguan Ling drew the Brocade Spring Saber a little further out.
Prefect Cao was so frightened he nearly rolled over, "I rember now! I rember now! Indeed, there’s a remarkable gentleman by A Mu Shan’s side... A Mu Shan frequently seeks his opinion, and if he were here tonight, he would definitely have advised A Mu Shan against it!"
Shangguan Ling asked, "What are his features?"
Prefect Cao racked his brains, "Features... features... he... he has six fingers!"
A brand-new boot stepped into the gate of the Cao Family.
Lu Yuan’s ears twitched, "Yu Zichuan."
On the rooftop, Yu Zichuan, with the Houyi Bow on his back, dashed toward the gate like lightning.
-
At the ng Family.
ng Qianqian finally t with Old Master ng.
ng Tianhe, ng Tianlan, the Ji family, and the Yan family were also present.
Lu Yuan had caught the embroidered ball—a joyous occasion, yet he was nowhere to be found.
The atmosphere in the room was sowhat bizarre.
ng Tianhe sighed, breaking the silence, "Qianqian, you’ve been wronged this ti. The old master didn’t truly intend to separate you two. He was just worried that the Grand Commander might be another Lu Lingxiao, so he devised this thod to test him."
Before ng Qianqian could speak, ng Tianlan retorted, "Is that a way to test soone? I’ve told you multiple tis what kind of person A Yuan is and how he treats Qianqian. Qianqian married the right person, married the right person, yet you still don’t believe it!"
"I believe it!"
Yan’s wife spoke up.
ng Tianlan said, "I wasn’t talking about you, wife."
Yan’s wife softly said, "Second sister-in-law also believes it and tried to persuade Father."
"Alright, alright."
ng Tianlan was helpless against his wife.
He knew that this matter was the elder’s idea. No matter how dissatisfied they were with this marriage, without the elder’s approval, there couldn’t have been such a ridiculous embroidered ball throwing to recruit a groom.
What nonsense is this?
ng Tianlan was genuinely angry.
Even if the elder beat him up, he wouldn’t suppress his feelings.
"Father, you were wrong!"
He said solemnly.
Old Master ng remained silent.
ng Qianqian said, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, I’d like to speak with Grandfather alone."
Yan’s wife looked at her with concern, "Qianqian..."
ng Tianlan pulled his wife over, "We’ll wait for you outside."
Yan’s wife asked in astonishnt, "Are you really not going to interfere?"
ng Tianlan replied, "Qianqian knows what she’s doing."
His biggest realization from his trip to the Capital City was that the third girl was no longer the little crybaby she once was; she was now capable of handling things on her own.
Her change was so significant that it almost made him unrecognizable.
But clearly, her face was still the sa.
ng Tianhe and the Ji family also left the room.
Old Master ng quietly spoke, "Do you resent ? For insisting on marrying you into the Lu Family and now for forcing you to recruit a groom?"
ng Qianqian shook her head, "I don’t bla Grandfather."
Old Master ng was shocked, looking at her in disbelief.
