24 Father

"Yue'er."

A familiar voice startled Nangong Yue. She looked towards the source of the voice and saw a slender figure standing by the window, staring at her. His handsome face was filled with a rare solemness.

Nangong Yue was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered. She forced out a smile and nonchalantly walked into the room. She asked, "Father, why are you here?"

Nangong Mu would not be fooled by Nangong Yue's words.

He took a few steps forward and asked in disappointment, "Yue'er, you have always been obedient since you were young. Why did you sneak out of the residence? " As he spoke, his gaze passed through Nangong Yue and landed on An Niang, "Mother An, you've really disappointed me to let Yue'er do all this!"

Nangong Yue's smile stiffened. She pretended to be spoiled as she said, "Father, An Niang listened to me. Everything was Yue'er's fault. Yue'er was bored staying in the mansion and wanted to go out to relax."

"Hmm?" Nangong Mu raised his eyebrows. There was a trace of love in his eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by reason.

"If you want to go out, why didn't you tell your mother? If your grandmother found out that you left the clan without permission, do you know the consequences!? "

Nangong Yue lowered her head in silence, her eyelashes drooping to cover her thoughts.

"Yue'er, you're already nine years old. You should learn to understand now. Think about it carefully." Nangong Mu earnestly said those words.

As for Nangong Yue, she felt mockery. It was obvious that her father had never cared about her.

She pursed her lips and suddenly said: "I know Grandmother is at the Buddhist Hall for some time." The meaning behind her words was that her grandmother would not know.

Moreover, her grandmother had never been close to her and rarely thought of her, which was why she dared to brazenly leave the manor at this time.

When he heard the rebellious tone in his daughter's voice, Nangong Mu looked at his daughter in surprise. Suddenly, he felt that he knew very little about his daughter.

Thus, he secretly made up his mind. He pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Yue'er, you're right, but have you ever thought about why I'm waiting for you here today?"

His expression and tone showed that he was concerned.

This thought clearly appeared in Nangong Yue's mind. When she thought of how her father had taught her so earnestly yesterday, a peculiar feeling began to sprout in her heart.

A complicated look flashed through her eyes. She didn't understand why her father never came to visit her ever since she left home in her previous life, not even saying a single word.

Thinking of this, her heart became cold again. She warned herself not to be blinded by a moment of warmth.

This man was heartless to her mother and heartless to her. How could she believe this kind of heartless man!

Seeing that Nangong Yue had not spoken for a long time, Nangong Mu thought his words were too harsh.

He changed his tone and said, "Yue'er, did you know that the palace had sent a message today? That's why your grandmother did not go to the Buddhist Hall. She wanted to see you."

When Nangong Yue heard this, she was shocked and looked towards her father.

Now, she knew that she was afraid. If her grandmother caught her red-handed, it would be fine to punish her but the fear is the implication on her mother. But what did the message from the palace have to do with her?

"Fortunately, your father happened to be here to see you, so he temporarily dismissed your grandmother's people." Nangong Mu frowned as he looked at Nangong Yue's clothes. "What are you wearing? Why aren't you changing your clothes?" With that, he walked out of his daughter's room.

"Yes, Father." Nangong Yue, who was in the wrong, did not dare to say anything else. She hurriedly changed her clothes under the care of An Niang and Yimei.

Nangong Mu was waiting for her in the yard outside his room. He said softly, "When your grandmother asks, tell her that you were asleep and I couldn't bear to wake you up. That was why I was late. "Go ahead."

Nangong Yue was startled for a moment before she slowly nodded her head. When she arrived at Rong An Hall, it was very lively in the east wing.

Other than the women from the main house, second house, and third house, even the male descendants, the main son of the eldest house, Nangong Feng, and the third house's son, Nangong Hao, had arrived. Not only that, but even Eldest Aunt Nangong Yun and Cousin Bai Muxiao had appeared.

Everyone surrounded the Old Madame. They chatted and laughter could be heard from time to time. Even the Old Madame was amused. The atmosphere was really lively.

Nangong Yue's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. Their laughter died down.

"Yue'er." She was called by Nangong Shun.

"Third Sister, you finally came. I taught Grandmother will have to wait for a while." Nangong Shun jokingly complained, incriminating Nangong Yue for disrespecting her grandmother.

Nangong Yue didn't even bother to look at her. She directly walked to the front of the Old Madame and bowed, "Grandmother, please forgive me. Your granddaughter just took a short nap …"

"You don't need to say anything. Your body isn't feeling well. You should rest more." seated on louhan's bed, the Old Madame waved her hand and said magnanimously, "Yue'er, quickly come to Grandmother's side."

In the heart of the Old Madame, this third granddaughter used to be slightly petty and had finally become slightly more sensible recently. She knew that the clan's benefits were important, so she tactfully offered the Mystic Yellow Linglong Ginseng.

Since her granddaughter knew how to sacrifice herself for the family, as a grandmother, she didn't mind giving her some face. This way, she could let others know that as long as she contributed to the family, she wouldn't treat them unfairly.

Hearing this, Nangong Shun's face darkened. Normally, she would always think that Nangong Yue was extremely stupid, and that her grandmother didn't like her.

In this generation of granddaughters, other than her elder cousin, Nangong Cheng, she was the best. Who knew that today, Grandmother would actually …

Unwillingly, she bit her lip and thought: Third Sister, don't be too complacent. If not for that Mystic Yellow Linglong Ginseng, how could you please grandmother!

"Sigh, with Cousin Yue, Grandmother will not love me anymore." Bai Muxiao pretended to be distressed as she complained.

She was originally sitting on the right hand side of the Old Madame, but right now, she could only move a little to the side.
