After raising a cub, I won by doing nothing

Chapter 446: In the end, he just left like that?
"No need to be polite, my dear minister. Please take a seat." Si Xieyue said in a calm voice.

Duanmu Zhaoming stood up from the ground with an unpleasant look on his face, but he did not sit down. Instead, he looked directly at Mu Wanxi and said, "The Seventh Princess is here too. I don't understand something. May I ask the Seventh Princess?"

Mu Wanxi smiled slightly and said in a leisurely tone: "Marquis Zhongyuan, feel free to ask."

"What crime did my granddaughter Duanmu Yan commit? Why did you allow your Yan State's imperial master to brutally kill her?!" Duanmu Zhaoming's old eyes turned red when he mentioned Duanmu Yan.

The Duanmu family is dominated by men and weaker than women, so daughters are more precious than sons.

By Duanmu Yan's generation, she was the only girl.

Those are the eyes of the entire Duanmu family. If you hold them in your mouth, they will melt. If you hold them in your hands, they will fall.

As a result, the person suddenly disappeared without any clear explanation.

"So Marquis Zhongyuan is here to call for punishment." Mu Wanxi's smile faded. "Marquis Zhongyuan means that your granddaughter wants to beat me to death, and I have to stand still and let her beat me?"

When Si Xieyue heard this, his handsome face darkened and the pressure from his body was directed towards Duanmu Zhaoming.

"Marquis Zhongyuan, is this the reason you want to see me?"

Suppressed by the auras of Mu Wanxi and Si Xieyue, Duanmu Zhaoming's face turned pale.

"This old minister just wants to know what mistake Yan'er made." Duanmu Zhaoming said slowly, with a cruel look in his eyes.

"Duanmu Yan insulted my future queen. This alone is enough to punish her with death." Si Xieyue looked at Duanmu Zhaoming coldly and said, "I haven't punished you for not disciplining me properly, but you dare to come and ask for punishment. Marquis Zhongyuan, you are so brave."

As soon as Si Xieyue finished speaking, Duanmu Zhaoming knelt down in front of him again.

"This old minister has absolutely no such intention! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Duanmu Zhaoming lowered his head and said while biting his back teeth.

He finally realized that Si Xieyue was going to protect the people of Yan State this time.

In that case, no matter how much he says, it will be useless.

Si Xieyue snorted coldly and said, "Since you don't mean that, then go back." After hearing Si Xieyue's order to expel him, Duanmu Zhaoming let out a breath and said, "I'll take my leave!"

After saying that, Duanmu Zhaoming stood up and was about to leave.

As a result, he had just taken two steps when Mu Wanxi called him.

"Lord Zhongyuan."

Duanmu Zhaoming paused, turned around and looked at Mu Wanxi: "Seventh Princess, do you have any other instructions?"

"Duanmu Yan gave my sons a serious fright. She originally planned to compensate me with one million taels of gold, but now it's written off. Marquis Zhongyuan doesn't have to take it to heart." Mu Wanxi said slowly.

"As expected of my future empress, you are so generous and magnanimous." Si Xieyue looked at Mu Wanxi with admiration, "Marquis Zhongyuan, why don't you thank the Seventh Princess quickly?"

Duanmu Zhaoming looked at Mu Wanxi and Si Xieyue singing the same tune and was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot.

Listen, are the things they said what people should say?

Now it's him whose granddaughter died, why does he act like he has received such a great favor?
"I, your old minister, thank you, Seventh Princess." Duanmu Zhaoming looked at Mu Wanxi and said word by word.

After saying this, Duanmu Zhaoming could not stay here any longer. He clasped his fists to Si Xieyue and Mu Wanxi, then turned around and left quickly.

Mu Wanxi watched Duanmu Zhaoming leave like that, and a faint light flashed in the depths of her phoenix eyes.

She originally thought that Duanmu Zhaoming was going to make a big fuss, after all, Duanmu Yan's death was indeed a bit sudden.

In the end, he just left like that?
Duanmu Zhaoming's ability to endure doesn't mean he is a coward.

This just proves that he is just like what is described in the book, an old fox who has become a spirit.
