“What insolence!” Nangong Qing shouted with violent rage. As soon as he recalled how the son who he laid all his hopes on was merely a bastard, the fury in his heart would uncontrollably rush out. “Guards, lock up Nangong Yunyi. He will be punished later!”
“Yes, Family Head!”
Hearing his order, two guards came up and grasped Nangong Yunyi’s shoulders.
Nangong Yunyi lifted his arm and fiercely flung their hands off. His eyes coldly shot toward Nangong Qing as he expressionlessly said, “One day, you will regret your actions today!”
After saying this, he glanced at Mu Qianqian, and his smile turned more contemptuous. “If you don’t want people to know, then don’t do it. You are on your own.”
After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and confidently walked away under the close escort of the two guards. It was not until he left the main hall that he felt his legs going limp and sweat drenching his back. He had been truly afraid that Nangong Qing would kill him in a fit of anger.
Don’t look at how confident he acted, his legs were actually trembling from fear since long ago.
However… he would never reveal his fear and weakness in front of that pair of mother and daughter.
“Father.” Nangong Lan’s eyes glittered. “Nangong Yunyi is quite cunning. I’m afraid those two guards won’t be enough to watch over him and will allow him to escape. I will personally escort him to the prison.”
Nangong Qing waved his hand and tiredly sat in the chair. “Go on then.”
“Yes, Father.” Nangong Lan cupped her fists and walked out of the main hall.
No one noticed the viciousness that flashed through her eyes when she departed.
Nangong Yunyi, you probably never expected to end up in my hands one day!
“Nangong Chen.” Nangong Qing did not bother looking at the direction that Nangong Lan headed toward and, instead, darkly looked at Nangong Chen kneeling on the ground. He slammed his palm on the table. “I have always treated you well. Why did you treat me like that? Seducing Fu’er wasn’t enough, why is the son I’ve always doted on also your bastard?”
Nangong Qing got angrier the more he spoke, his face was flush red from anger, and his eyes were fiercely glaring at Nangong Chen. The look in his eyes appeared as though he wanted to chop Nangong Chen into pieces.
Nangong Chem lowered his head. “I was in the wrong. You can punish me however you want!”
“Hahaha!” Nangong Qing madly laughed from his rage. “Great, wonderful! Since you have ended up in my hands, I absolutely won’t spare you. Guards, bring him away and cut off a piece of him every day until he’s dead!”
Hearing this, Nangong Chen’s body shuddered, but he did not look up. Two guards came up and picked him up, taking him out of the main hall.
The moment that Nangong Chen was lifted, he subconsciously glanced at Mu Qianqian, his lips imperceptibly moving, as though he was saying, “Remember your promise to me!”
Mu Qianqian smiled. Promise? What did that count for? She had never been someone who honored her promises!
Nangong Chen was truly a lovesick fool. Back then, she snatched his lover away and fed her a strong poison, using this to force him to frame that woman!
Sure enough, for his beloved lover, Nangong Chen obeyed her every word. Even if he was misunderstood by his elder brother and lived in hiding for so many years, he never thought about clarifying anything!
What was laughable was that Nangong Chen’s lover was already dead, but he continued to do her bidding. Perhaps he should thank her. If it were not for her, Nangong Chen would not have the chance to reunite with his lover in the afterlife.
