After Lou Yan learned the ins and outs of the matter, he directly ordered Linglong: "Guard the princess, if anything happens again, I will ask you."
Linglong responded quickly.
She was stupid last time and failed to recognize the princess, which caused the princess to suffer so much. After she came back, the prince had already punished her severely, and now he allowed her to serve the princess by her side. It was already extremely merciful, and she didn't dare.
No more mistakes or omissions.
Linglong watched Lou Yan walk out and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, where are you going?"
Lou Yan said coldly: "Since Yuan Chu is reluctant to part with his brother's head, then I will go and get it myself. I want to see if he has the courage to come to me to plead for Yuan Xu."
Upon hearing this, Linglong silently wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, sweating for the Yuan family in her heart.
Tonight, the Yuan family is afraid that they will be sleepless all night.
———
Yuanfu Ancestral Hall.
Yuan Xu's legs had been broken and he was thrown to the ground casually like a dog.
He couldn't stand up, couldn't get up from his knees, and could only lie on the ground in embarrassment.
Old Master Yuan stood beside him, not looking at Yuan Xu, but only looking at the tablets enshrining the ancestors of the Yuan family.
Yuan Chu also lowered his head and stood beside Mr. Yuan without looking at Yuan Xu on the ground.
Yuan Xu realized something was wrong from the moment he entered this ancestral hall.
An unprecedented fear surged in his heart, making his face even paler under the candlelight.
Old Master Yuan didn't speak, and Yuan Chu didn't speak either. Yuan Xu finally couldn't bear the pressure and took the initiative to speak.
"Father, I know I was wrong." Yuan Xu looked at Old Master Yuan's back and whispered, "Now that I have broken my leg, I can't do anything anymore. I also promise you that I will never leave Yuan Mansion again in this life.
, just stay in your own yard and reflect."
The old man didn't look back, he just asked coldly: "What's wrong?"
Yuan Xu pursed his lips and said with difficulty after a while: "The mistake was that I shouldn't have listened to you. I knew Xiao Jue was not a wise king, but I still insisted on forcing it. The mistake was... the mistake was that I didn't care about brotherhood and wanted to be right.
It’s not good for Yuanchu.”
After Yuan Chu heard what he said, the hand hanging by his side clenched tightly into a fist.
Yuan Xu looked at Old Master Yuan: "Father, I really know that I was wrong. I will draw a clear line with Xiao Jue from now on and will never collude with him again."
After that, he went to see Yuan Chu again: "Brother, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have attacked you. I was really just confused for a moment. I know that you still care about our brotherhood in your heart. Please interrupt.
My legs are just to give others an explanation. You still want to keep mine, and I know it. I also promise you that I will never fight with you again. I will just stay in the yard.
Okay?"
If Yuan Xu had said these words to Yuan Chu earlier, Yuan Chu might have been really moved. But now that he said these words again, Yuan Chu only felt more and more how wrong he had been before.
Seeing that they were silent, Yuan Xu looked a little panicked and shouted: "Father..."
Old Master Yuan finally turned around, looked at Yuan Xu and said, "Of course what you said is wrong, but have you really never done anything wrong again?"
Yuan Xu: "...What does father mean?"
"You were the one who reported the relationship between the princess and the owner of the silver house to Xiao Jue, right?" Old Master Yuan said coldly, "It was you who gave Xiao Jue the advice and asked Xiao Jue to attack the princess, right?"
