Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw two slender figures walking out from the east door.
Their faces were about forty to fifty percent alike, both of them were gentle and handsome, but the man on the left was a few years older. With a beard, he was the patriarch of the Nangong Family, the Su Family's eldest son, Nangong Qin.
The man on the right was a bit more handsome. He wore a simple green robe and had a gentle and refined expression on his face. He was the second son of the Su Clan — Nangong Yue's father, Nangong Mu. The two brothers had gone out to visit three days ago and had not returned until now.
When Nangong Yue saw her father, her pupils constricted and her lips curled into a rigid straight line. In her previous life, ever since her mother had gone mad, tragedy had come one after another. She simply didn't have the strength to withstand them.
Afterwards, she was taken away by her grandfather. From then on, she was filled with resentment towards her father, and only when she was 13 years old did she return to the Nangong family …
Nangong Yue subconsciously looked towards her mother. She saw her mother foolishly looking at her father. The corner of her mouth slightly curled up, and her eyes couldn't hide the joy and love in them.
Her mother had always loved his father so much, which was why she fell into madness later on and walked into desperate straits …
Nangong Yue's expression darkened as she looked at her father's refined face. Her eyes were filled with a complicated look.
”You two are back.” When the Old Madame saw the return of her eldest and second sons, her face were filled with joy.
”Mother, we've worried you.” Nangong Qin and Nangong Mu respectfully bowed to the Old Madame.
The two brothers both realized that Bai Muxiao's lecherous appearance was obviously out of the order, and the atmosphere here was quite strange.
Nangong Qin was the first to greet Bai Muxiao and said, ”Xiao Er, there is no need to be so courteous. Quickly go and change your clothes. It's easy to get cold in this weather. ”
The two maidservants received the order and quickly brought Bai Muxiao, whose face was somewhat pale from the cold.
Then, Nangong Mu could not help but ask, ”Mother, what happened?” He took a quick look at his wife and daughter. He had always known that his mother did not like her own wife and daughter, and felt that there was something odd about it.
Of course, with so many people present, there was no need for the madame to speak. Madame Zhao immediately went up and explained the whole situation in a few words. Her words were very clever.
From the moment Nangong Yue was severely ill, to the moment when Madame Lin came to the Old Madame to ask for the ginseng and Nangong Xin accidentally falling into the water in the garden, the final culprit was Bai Muxiao.
After Nangong Qin and Nangong Mu heard this, both of them were shocked. They never thought that in less than three days after they had left, such a big matter would happen to their family. Especially when Nangong Mu thought about how his eldest son had nearly died because of this, he felt restless.
”Ruo Yan,” Nangong Mu called out Madame Lin's name, and carefully asked for confirmation. Is he well? ” He could not wait to go back and see his son, but he had to pay respects to the Old Madame because of filial piety. ”Husband, he's fine now.” She looked at her husband lovingly.
The Old Madame naturally noticed the appearance of these couple who had a deep love for the flounder. The Old Madame felt that this daughter-in-law didn't understand the gist of the situation and only knew to display this affection.
When everyone returned to their seats in the east wing, Nangong Qin's gentle gaze first fell on Nangong Yue, filled with concern, ”Yue'er, you've just recovered from your illness. It seems that you don't have a good complexion. Are you feeling well?”
Nangong Yue shook her head and replied with a smile, ”Thank you for uncle's concern. Yue'er is already well.” Even though she said so, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was weak. Madame Lin looked at her daughter, unable to conceal the pain in her heart.
Nangong Qin paused and looked towards the Old Madame. He suddenly said, ”Mother, this Mystic Yellow Linglong Ginseng was originally owned by sister-in-law. Since Yue'er is not feeling well, it should be given to her.”
