Thinking up to this point, Helian Wei Wei’s fingers streaked across the calluses on her fingertips. Facing Su Yan Mo’s slightly stiff face, she slowly smiled.
Even though hatred filled Su Yan Mo’s heart, she could only suppress it and push up the corners of her mouth slightly. Wait until this incident quietly pa.s.sed. Fortunately, Retired Emperor accepted her excuse. No matter how bad things looked now, her beloved daughter was still the one everyone supported, and the genius most likely to become Third Prince’s Consort.
She’s convinced that Retired Emperor also had apprehensions regarding this point.
Within Dragon War Empire, it didn’t matter how intelligent a person was, only when they possessed a martial qi cultivation surpa.s.sing others, would their words matter.
That little vile sp.a.w.n, sooner or later, would repay with interest for all that transpired here today!
She wasn’t anxious.
Su Yan Mo looked down as she moved the Buddhist beads in her hand and followed the novice monk to the most remote courtyard in the temple.
Generally speaking, women weren’t permitted to stay overnight in a temple, the concern was that it’d destroy the purity within the temple.
However, Hidden Spirit Temple was different from others because of its reputation as the imperial family’s preferred temple. That’s why every year, people who came to pray were basically either from the imperial family or had powerful connections. Included among these were many womenfolk for whom it’d be dangerous to go down the mountain at night, so one remote courtyard was reserved to house the women.
It’s just that this courtyard looked too bleak, the interior decor was awfully simple, just like a very cold, cold palace.
The only thing that’s slightly tolerable was that the room didn’t have any unusual smells.
However, this kind of simplicity was unbearable for Su Yan Mo. Since childhood till now, she’d been a golden branch treasured in the palm of a hand. Even after she’d s.n.a.t.c.hed Helian Guang Yao, she’d still been pampered and respected. Even within the circles of influential people, who among those high officials and n.o.bles didn’t fawn on her.
Now, she’s made to live in this kind of place even inferior to a firewood house. The hatred that Su Yan Mo had just suppressed all instantaneously bubbled up without exception!
Helian Jiao Er came along with her mother. After she saw that house, she unconsciously used her handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose as she reached out to pull on Su Yan Mo’s sleeves. “Mother, let’s go look for grandfather, have him immediately enter the palace to hand over the accounts book! How could a person live in this kind of house! This won’t do, Mother, you can’t live here!”
“If I don’t live here, then you’ll have to live here.” Madam Su glanced at her, after that she pulled away her hand, and lightly closed the wood door, before maliciousness from the depths of her eyes leaked out. “Right now, your grandfather has been thinking of a way to get his hands on military power. He needs to coax and deceive the emperor. No mistakes are allowed. To have him take out the accounts book over such a small matter, Retired Emperor won’t be pleased.”
