"It's impossible. How could my mother be a jade concubine? How could she be the concubine of a great country and marry a little prime minister?"
Gu Chunuan murmured to himself, his eyes unfocused, still grasping at the last straw.
She has so many identities, maybe her mother's identity is a fake one?
"Back then, Yu'er violated the family order and secretly made a life-long arrangement with the emperor of the Night Kingdom. And... with you, he even gave away the dragon ball that he had finally snatched away. Who did he give it to? It has been a mystery for so many years.
, the clan members pressed her, and she didn’t agree to hand over the dragon beads, let alone leave the Night Emperor. Do you think the clan members can tolerate her?”
"Yu'er was so popular that she offended many people. Without the protection of the Jade Clan, the people of the Tianfen Clan were chasing her to the sky and had no way to enter the earth. In addition, the Jade Clan was hard-pressed, so she had no choice but to
Fake death, in order to save you and save my own life, I can only commit myself to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Since the Jade Clan hates Jade Concubine so much, why did they make me the leader of the Jade Clan?"
"The Jade Clan has clan rules. Only saints from past dynasties can become the clan leader. Otherwise, others will not have any chance, and the clan leaders have always been women. Of course... the most important thing is that your mother is a single-lineage saint, and your mother
You only gave birth to a daughter again."
Gu Chunuan smiled sarcastically, his eyes filled with vicissitudes of life, "So, I will become the clan leader, just because of blood? As long as she is the daughter of Concubine Yu, anyone can become the clan leader? Even if that person is heinous?"
"This...according to the rules of the Jade Clan, this is indeed the case. It has not changed for thousands of years."
The elder spoke softer and quieter, and his confidence became less and less. He seemed to feel that he owed Gu Chunuan a lot.
Soon, he thought of something, raised his head suddenly, and was mostly awake from the wine, "A Nuan, although you became the clan leader because of clan rules, it is undeniable that everyone in the clan likes you very much and feels sorry for you. Everyone in the clan
Everyone sincerely recognizes you as the leader of the clan."
Gu Chunuan staggered out of the house, turning a deaf ear to the elder's words behind him.
Ever since she learned about what happened to the Jade Clan, she has not slept peacefully for a day, and there has not been a day when she didn't think about breaking the blood curse for the Jade Clan as soon as possible.
In addition to being intolerant, because she is the leader of the Jade Clan, she must shoulder that responsibility.
But now, the elder told her that her selection as the clan leader was decided from her mother's womb.
The most important thing is that she finally has a man she likes, but he is her brother. How ridiculous and ironic.
Ye Jinghan was sitting on a stool, his whole body exuding the aura of keeping strangers away from him, and his face was horribly gloomy and pale.
His eyes were downcast, and his hands were clenched, as if he was holding back something.
Suddenly, he saw Gu Chunuan's lonely back and reached out to support her stumbling body. However, his outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and a look of pain flashed through his eyes.
"How did Concubine Yu die?"
A hoarse voice drifted slowly from a distance, like a ghost in the night.
The elder was stunned for a moment and quickly replied, "She was seriously injured in the Ten Hell Formation. Although she survived by luck, she... still died. However, she handed you over to us before she died, and she also handed you over to us.
You told us everything about your situation."
After the elder finished speaking, there was still Gu Chunuan in front of him.
The elder stamped his feet and hurriedly chased after him, with only Gu Chunuan's lonely back in his anxious eyes.
"A Nuan, please listen to my explanation. The people of the Jade Clan have never disliked you, and they have never had any dissatisfaction with you because your mother-in-law betrayed the Jade Clan. A Nuan, please wait for me..."
Ye Jinghan spat out a mouthful of blood, as if all the strength in his body had been drained, and he was as tired as an old man.
"Master, do you want me? I'm going to call the doctor right away."
Ye Jinghan weakly waved his hand, motioning for them all to go out, and locked himself in the room alone. No matter who shouted, nothing happened.
The breeze and snow were so anxious that I could only stand guard at the door at all times, fearing that my master would not be able to think about it for a while.
