Situ Sheng, who was dispirited, brought Situ Ming who was covered in wounds back. He completely ignored her pained expression and only had Situ Xuan’s icy cold expression on his mind.
Did he regret his decision then? Indeed, but it was useless feeling regret. Situ Sheng had a bitter smile when he thought of the people at home, it seemed the whole Situ Family would be hollowed out.
Thinking of what would happen next, Situ Sheng had an even uglier expression.
No matter how resentful and dissatisfied people from Situ Family felt, they still needed to return all of the things belonging to Situ Xuan’s mother.
However, early in the morning of the next day, Grandmother Situ had ran to the Princess Residence and caused a ruckus, scolding Situ Xuan saying she’s an ingrate, an unfilial person and spewing ugly words like how she liked watching her father and grandmother suffer.
Situ Xuan did not respond to this incident, it was Xiao Qi Tian who had brought the evidence he investigated to the Situ Family, he threw the evidence right at Grandmother Situ.
”You all collaborated with other people to harm my aunt, it’s not unreasonable for me to want your lives, however, my aunt had said before her death to let Situ Family off. But, if people from Situ Family still continue to trouble Xuan Xuan, I do not mind executing dozens of people from your Situ Family. If you all don’t believe, you all can give it a try.”
Grandmother Situ could only end up having sleepless nights. Even though an elder had many years of experience, they were still timid when facing the true nobles.
”Your highness, this humble servant knows what to do,” These things were akin to knives hanging above their necks, they would die without a proper grave if they were not careful.
After Xiao Qi Tian left, Grandmother Situ began causing another ruckus, she began cursing the deceased Situ Xuan’s mother. Situ Sheng was enraged after hearing it: “Enough, mother, would you only be happy if our whole family dies along with you?”
”I…… That’s not what I meant,” With so much money gone, how could she continue living a luxurious life after this?
”If you don’t want us to die, then stop finding Xuan Xuan.”
”But the money……”
”It belongs to Xuan Xuan, it was never ours to begin with,” Situ Sheng was out of breath. They were already in such a predicament and she was still thinking of such things, was their lives more important than money?
Grandmother Situ mumbled a few sentences, she had no way and could only nod helplessly, indicating she would not be involved in this matter.
In the General’s Residence, Mu Chen hugged Situ Xuan in his embrace, he had a heartache as he looked at her: “Are you alright?”
”I’m fine. Although I knew my mom was killed by those people and that I can personally kill them anytime I want, can only watch as they prance around in front of me. This feeling sucks,” Situ Xuan leaned on Mu Chen as she muttered softly.
Ning Meng Yao seemed to be lost in thought as she looked at Situ Xuan: “We can’t directly act against Situ Family, but we can act against Lu Family. At that time, aunt did not say we cannot act against people other than Situ Family.”
”Right, we can let off Situ Family but not the others.”
Situ Xuan was stunned. Indeed, she could directly punish others, so why should she just let it be?
”Yao’er……”
”I will help you get revenge, there’s no need for Little Yao’er to take action,” Mu Chen interrupted Situ Xuan, there was no need for others to take revenge on behalf of his wife.
Ning Meng Yao raised her eyebrows, she then let out an ‘oh’: “Let Mu Chen do it, I’m exhausted,” Ning Meng Yao waved her hands, indicating she was feeling helpless.
”That’s right, Mu Chen is currently your fiance, you need to learn to rely on him,” Mei Ruo Lin also nodded, she agreed with such arrangement.
Yu Feng walked to Mei Ruo Lin’s side: “Then why aren’t you learning to rely on me?”
”Go stand by the side, we’re talking about business,” Mei Ruo Lin calmly said as she reached out and shoved him to the side.
The corners of his eyes twitched, Yu Feng then went to the side to grow mushrooms.
”Young miss, the Regent is here,” Qing Xuan walked in, there was a smile on her face.
Ning Meng Yao immediately stood up: “Let’s hurry out.”
Ning Meng Yao saw Nangong Yan covered in dust as he entered just as she walked out of the courtyard. She had a smile on her face: “Father, you’re here.”
