Chapter 279 - Scheme, Backlash Ahead of Time (1/2)

Nan Xun went back to Moran Hall alone. Because there was no Gong Moran around this time, everyone’s eyes went towards her unobtrusively, mostly with hate and contempt mixed with curiosity.

Gong Da walked at her and sneered coldly, “I didn’t know what kind of enchantress you are, never thought that you’re only a prostitute from a red-light district, no wonder you have a bit of ability to seduce men.”

When Nan Xun heard this kind of derogatory words, the fire in her heart was fanned, so she retorted coldly, “If I only have a bit of ability, how come I can seduce the Lord?”

The killing intent in Gong Da’s eyes appeared suddenly, “Who knows what kind of despicable tricks you use! A cheap slut from a brothel dares to have delusion with State Teacher, you’re overestimating your capabilities!”

Didn’t know what he thought of, a slight smile appeared on Gong Da’s face, he lowered his voice as he said, “Gong Shijiu, I’ll make you pay double the price for your blasphemy after tonight.”

Nan Xun frowned as she watched him walking away.

What does it mean? Could it be that there’d be something going on tonight?

“Little Eight, I really can’t understand ah, Gong Da can’t tolerate me just because I violated the god-like figure in his heart?”

Little Eight explained, “You don’t understand, this is called a fanatical follower, he won’t tolerate anyone saying bad things about his idol, can he not hate you with all his being if you straight up tainted his idol?”

Nan Xun laughed twice, “I really don’t understand, so f*cking retarded.”

“Aiya, don’t get annoyed ah, you’ll understand about the world in his heart one day.” After saying this, Little Eight suddenly became quiet as if thinking about something.

Nan Xun saw Gong Shiqi. He stood alone while looking at her from a distance, his look showed that he was feeling hesitant to speak.

Maybe he looked down on her too…

Nan Xun was suddenly grateful that she decided to wear a veil when she became Lady Qiangwei from Drunken Moon Tower, except for showing her true face to Madam Zhang, no one else knew what she looked like, otherwise, people would definitely throw rotten egg and vegetable on her when she walked out the gate.

She shivered just thinking about it.

Nan Xun went to the small kitchen in hope to find the kitchen maid to cook her something to eat, but she didn’t expect that they were gone to who knew where.

Sh1t, even the servants dared to bully her, she didn’t believe it if one said that there’s no intervention from other disciples in this matter.

It’s just a meal, she still has her own two hands, but she can only cook some simple meals herself, it’s impossible for her if she wanted to eat a lavish meal.

After eating half a bowl of hand-rolled noodles, Nan Xun returned to the main hall. She closed the door, cutting off all eyes from outside, and the world suddenly became peaceful.

Nan Xun didn’t have to wait too long; she was just reviewing witchcraft taught by the big boss when she heard the door creaked open.

Gong Moran’s footsteps were a bit impatient, he slowed down the moment he saw Nan Xun, but he frowned after that.

“Duoduo, why didn’t you wait for this Lord to leave?” He asked.

Nan Xun was stunned, “Wasn’t my Lord going to stay in the palace for a meal and told me to come back first?”

Right after asking this, Nan Xun realized that the little eunuch who relayed the word wasn’t the one who often serve beside the Emperor, furthermore, the Lord wouldn’t come back this quickly if he stayed for a meal.

But, what’s their purpose in sending her away? Nothing strange happened today except for meeting with the Queen on the way.

At this moment, Gong Moran’s expression suddenly changed. He flicked his fingers, quickly extinguishing the sandalwood incense inside the burner.

Unfortunately, it was still too late.

Gong Moran’s face quickly turned pale, and Nan Xun was shocked.

“My Lord! What’s wrong with you?”
