Madalare and burst into tears for the sake of her pure and chaste daughter
“Keep crying and I’ll get physical,” Ning Xiaoyao warned
Scared, Mada eyes on Shadowgale and asked, “Did you see anything good?”
Shadowgale replied, “See what?”
Ning Xiaoyao said, “Didn’t they say Xie Duoying was bathing without her clothes on?”
“……” said Shadowgale
“……” said the rest of the Dragon Guards
Why is His Majesty always concerned with different details than the rest of us?
Ning Xiaoyao stared at Shadowgale with her sparkling eyes until the head commander stiffly shook his head
“Aye,” Ning Xiaoyao sighed, “So you didn’t see anything, ah Then aren’t we fighting with the Grand Preceptor’s estate for nothing?”
Shadowgale only felt black lines across his face That’s really ‘too bad,’ is it?
The Dragon Guards felt that His Majesty’s words had , so they’d be the ones losing out if they found against the Grand Preceptor’s men (Author: Wake up, all of you! You can’t settle debts with logic like that…)
“Alright,” Ning Xiaoyao rubbed her nose “If you didn’t see anything, then why did Lady wang say you did?”
“This servant, I—I heard a girl crying inside the roo But then a bunch of servants and old mama ran out of a side door Only then did this servant find out it was Fifth Young Miss Xie inside the rooitation
Ning Xiaoyao glanced at the two-storey building behind the Dragon Guards and asked, “Is Fifth Young Miss still inside?”
Shadowgale nodded
“The Grand Preceptor’s estate on Guards piped up
Ning Xiaoyao said, “Yes, that’s right This was a pre-planned trap to capture Windy Speaking of which, Windy, why did you come here by yourself?”
“I,” Shadowgale wanted to speak, but quickly shut up
H was up “Come on,” she said as she patted her chest “Tellon? I can shoulder the burden of anything, no ht be!”
He’s even brought up storht as they looked at Ning Xiaoyao What kind of nonsense is he blabbing about?
While Ning Xiaoyao was ra rage Ever since His Majesty calance to her Was he ignoring her existence?! (Author: If you already know the anshy are you still asking the question, madame?)
“Your Majesty,” Lady wang called out
Ning Xiaoyao turned and said, “Oh, so you still know I’ht you had no idea, your ladyshi+p”
“……” said Lady wang
“Why aren’t you kneeling in the presence of the eon Guard shouted at the Grand Preceptor’s people I fell to their knees It really was strange, but every tiet they had to kneel
“Your Majesty,” Lady wang looked at Ning Xiaoyao with teary eyes “Do you really want to humiliate our Xie Clan?”
Ning Xiaoyao replied, “Look at what you’re saying When have I ever humiliated your Xie Clan?”
Lady wang burst into sobs “Fifth daughter is a pure and chaste young maiden, but now she’s been ruined!”
“Hold on, you,” Ning Xiaoyao turned sideways to point at the boudoir behind them “Windy was both outside the door and the wall, so what could he have seen? Was your Xie Duoying bathing in the courtyard?”
Lady wang choked, before she sobbed out, “All he did alk into the building and out, who knohat he did during that time?”
“Well dang, fro, you won’t be satisfied until Windy sees Xie Duoying once today, is that it?” Ning Xiaoyao said “You think that just by s’s reputation?”
Lady wang said, “Does Your Majesty want to force this wife unto death with your words?”
“I just find you, you and the Grand Preceptor really are peas in a pod,” Ning Xiaoyao crossed her arms “Grand Preceptor askedyou to die as well Why is it that every time it’s you two, the fault’s always on the other party? So we outsiders have no rhyme or reason, is that it?”
Lady wang shook her head before insisting, “Your Majesty ive this wife an explanation for today’s events”
“And if I don’t?” Ning Xiaoyao asked “You going to bite me to death, ah?”
Lady wang felt her body shudder
“Say that there,” Ning Xiaoyao said as she pointed in the direction of the Grand Preceptor’s study “Find your ht now I’ll wait, you go ahead”
Lady wang suddenly lost all strength in her body So what if she had justification on her side? The person standing before her was the eainst the Heavens theround Because she’d been crying too much over the past few days, all her tears had dried up Now she only felt her eyes stinging with no relief
Ning Xiaoyao looked at Lady wang and shook her head “You can stop pretending If you really wanted the best for Xie Duoying, you wouldn’t do soainst ardless of whether you win or lose”
