He had once investigated Ning Meng Yao but never found out about her relationship with these people, however, right now, he was told she was the true master of the largest organization.
If he did not choose Xiao Zi Xuan at that time but had chosen her, then wouldn’t the situation be completely different right now?
Minister Wei’s family members, other than Wei Ke Xin, all had pale expressions painted over their faces. They had actually provoked the true Master of Tong Bao Zhai.
Ning Meng Yao did not take notice of the shock of everyone present, her gaze landed on the horrified Nangong Yue: “Comparing power and authority with me? Nangong Yue, are you still able to do that?”
Nangong Yue’s lips were trembling, it was simply impossible for her to compare to Ning Meng Yao? She only had a high status in the Ling Empire, but Ning Meng Yao’s status stretched across various empires, she couldn’t match it in the least.
”I…… I……”
Ling Luo suddenly stood up, he walked towards Ning Meng Yao: “Why did you lie to me?” Why did you have to leave using such methods?
Ning Meng Yao did pay heed to Ling Luo, she used her sharp gaze to sweep the crowd: “Qiao Tian Chang is my other half, I will let those who have an eye on him suffer a treatment worse than death. You all can try if you don’t believe me.”
Xiao Qi Tian disregarded the occasion and laughed out loud, he looked teasingly at Qiao Tian Chang. A man being mentioned like that by his own woman, no matter what, should allow there to be some sense of male chauvinism right?
Ning Meng Yao turned and looked at Qiao Tian Chang: “Tian Chang, are you feeling embarrassed from this?”
”Of course not,” He felt proud to have such an outstanding wife, why would he feel embarrassed?
”Ning Meng Yao!” Ling Luo had a pale expression as he looked at Ning Meng Yao, the current her was a completely changed person, she was no longer the person he knew.
Her identity had become much nobler than his.
Ning Meng Yao turned her head and looked at Ling Luo: “You’re the one who chose to let go of my hand, I didn’t force you. Didn’t you choose Xiao Zi Xuan because of the Xiao Residence’s power, influence, and status?”
”But you did not tell me……”
”Didn’t tell you that I am the true Master of Tong Bao Zhai? Haha, Ling Luo, what do you take me for?” Of course she knew that if she told Ling Luo she was the true Master of Tong Bao Zhai, she would definitely become the heiress of Ling Residence. But why would she do that? She was not interested in a marriage with such motives.
Her favorite was Qiao Tian Chang. She was just a helpless peasant while he was a noble General, not only did he not turn his back on her, he had even pampered her to the bone, she really loved such a feeling.
The surrounding people heard their conversation and felt uneasy in their hearts, they saw ambiguous feelings in their expressions.
Could it be that those two used to have a relationship? But because Ling Luo at that time looked down on that person’s identity and chose the Princess of Xiao Residence in the end?
However, right now, that orphan girl had changed in a single shake, becoming the aloof and remote true Master of Tong Bao Zhai.
”Yao Yao, don’t get angry.”
”This Prince has opened his eyes. Mistaking a fisheye as a pearl and vice versa. It seems the people from Xiao Empire merely amount to this much,” Feng Shuo looked at Ling Luo with a faint smile, there was mockery at the corners of his mouth.
”You can say that again.”
The crowd was discussing this matter spiritedly. The Mid-Autumn Banquet was originally held for daughters of each family to be selected for entry into the palace, but once Ning Meng Yao’s identity was exposed, everyone’s focus shifted to her and they had forgotten about today’s event and its purpose.
Mei Ruo Lin walked towards Ning Meng Yao and Qiao Tian Chang, she looked at Qiao Tian Chang: “You have performed well, Qiao Tian Chang, we’re really satisfied with you.”
Qiao Tian Chang raised his brows, there was a smile on his face: “Elder sister, Brother-in-law.”
”Ling Luo, you should know that we wanted to wash your Ling Residence in blood, but unfortunately Little Yao did not agree to it, it was because she said she was no longer related to you,” Mei Ruo Lin looked at Ling Luo, she then continued saying: “You said Little Yao never told you about her identity, but how sincere were you to her?”
Ling Luo’s lips pursed up, there was remorse and scorching radiance burning in his eyes.
Xiao Zi Xuan felt the chills when she looked at Ning Meng Yao. It was no wonder that every time she sent people to assassinate her, they had directly been obstructed even before they found her and end up failing.
But now that she has such an identity…… her line of sight quietly shifted and landed on Ling Luo. There was a cynical smile on Xiao Zi Xuan’s face.
He still had not let her go.
