11 Punishment II (1/2)

”It just so happens that I have something to see the Old Madame too!” ”Bai Lu, come with me!” She suppressed her anger and was about to get up when she heard her daughter's tender voice from behind, ”Mother, Yue'er will go with you!”

”Yue'er.” At this moment, she was wearing a gold-embroidered, pomegranate red dress, a horse-faced skirt, and her face was extremely pale. Because she had suffered from a major illness, her white and tender cheeks were only the size of a palm, making her dark pupils stand out, clear and dark.

Madame Lin could not help but speak softly, ”Yue'er, your body is still weak. The most important thing is to rest well!”

”Mother, let Yue'er go. Yue'er was also present at that time. If grandmother were to ask, Yue'er would be able to help explain it to her. ” Nangong Yue said.

Madame Lin thought about it and agreed.

With Dong'er leading the way, Nangong Yue, Madame Lin and Bai Lu arrived at the Rong An Hall.

The light in this room was not as bright as the one in the main hall, but it was still very bright. There were two rows of flowers on either side of it. The furniture looked old, but it was well-tended. There were all kinds of vases on the flowers, the branches of which were very fresh.

The Old Madame was dressed in a dark red jacket with dark flowers in it. Her hair was neatly combed, the back of her head was tied up in a bun, and she wore a white jade hairpin on her bun.

Her pair of sharp eyes contained the heaviness and vicissitudes of time, as well as the severity and shrewdness. She was already in her fifties, but time clearly favored her. She did not look too old, but instead had a dignified grace and a trace of pride at the corner of her mouth.

Although the Nangong Clan was no longer as glorious as it was before the dynasty, this pride still hung at the corners of the Old Madame's mouth.

The Nangong Family was one of the Four Great Clans of the current era, from the previous dynasty, each generation had their own descendants. In more than three hundred years of the previous dynasty's history, they had formed an alliance with the Royal Family and had sent out three support heads, four border feudal officials, and five officials of the third rank and above.

Thirty years ago, the previous dynasty's emperor, Murong Jie, was destroyed by the Great General Han Jiu and a barbarian general from another tribe. Han Jiu became Emperor.

After the dynasty was destroyed, the Nangong family's former patriarch, Nangong Hao, was unwilling to submit to the new emperor and chose to live in seclusion.

However, the Nangong Family was once a powerful official, and was also the model of the Southern Scholar. Thus, after Emperor Han Jiu passed away, the new Emperor Han Longyun, in order to consolidate his position, extended his goodwill and ordered the new Clan Chief of the Nangong Family, Nangong Qin, to step up to become the Imperial Physician of the Third Rank.

It was just that the new emperor was very wary of the Nangong Family. Even if he wanted to use them, he was also afraid that if they were related to the previous dynasty, it would be disadvantageous to him.

Nangong Qin originally wanted to inherit his father's will, but he could not. He could not resist his mother, the Su Family. In the end, under the Su Family's lead, the entire family moved back to the capital.

This was the beginning of the tragedy!

Grandmother … Nangong Yue looked deeply at the Old Madame with a complicated expression. Her grandmother had never loved her, and her admiration was worn out by disappointment after disappointment. In this life, she would no longer have any extravagant hopes.
