Female student: I'm sorry, the prince is mine.

Only then did Aunt Cui walk towards the ear room, looking back every few steps.

Nanshan let out a light breath, lifted her skirt and walked up the small steps in front of the Wang family’s courtyard.

Pushing the door open, the room was brightly lit. A cup of scented tea was scattered on the ground, with water stains all over it and the fragments of the cup lying scattered on the water stains.

Like he just got angry.

Wang was leaning sickly on the bed with an angry look on her face.

"You still remember to come back?" Wang spoke as soon as Nanshan entered the door.

"Why is mother angry?" Nanshan did not answer, but asked the same question. After all, in all these years when she was hurt by rumors, he never saw her get angry about her injustice.

"Why should I be angry? You have completely forgotten all the propriety and honor I taught you. Now, your father has seen you doing this in front of his house. How dare you come in?"

"If I had known I would not have raised you to this age and embarrassed me. I should have strangled you to death when you were a child." Wang pointed at Nanshan, panting, looking very angry.

"Then why didn't mother strangle me to death?" Nanshan looked straight at Wang with a cold gaze, "Is it because if you strangled me to death, Nanshan Yun will not forgive you?"

Is it because she was strangled to death that Wang Shi lost the chance to keep the first child of Nanshan Mansion? Maybe she would be kicked out by the ungrateful Nanshan Yun?

Of course, she did not keep the first child of Nanshan Mansion, she just used her as a filler.

"You!" Wang grabbed the edge of the bed with one hand, her nails digging tightly, as if she wanted to dig a hole in the bed, "You are so unfilial! Are you thinking of climbing up the ladder and leaving me behind?"

"Heh." Nanshan sneered. She didn't know that she already knew her life story. She just thought that she had married into some wealthy family. "My mother said so, so it must be so."

When Li Xiyuan was stolen away by Nanshan Xi, Wang didn't ask a single question.

Now seeing her suitor sending her back and seeming to be a noble in the palace, she is anxious?

Yes, even if she was not a noble in the palace, she must be a high-ranking official or a new noble favored by the noble. Otherwise, why would she be invited to the palace banquet?

"The nobles in the palace are not so easy to get along with. Break off the relationship quickly. Your mother will find you a family of scholars of equal status." Seeing that filial piety could not suppress her, Wang coughed and softened her tone.

"Mother, since you know that it is not easy to get along with the noble man, how can your daughter just break up with him?" Nanshan stood there gracefully, speaking slowly, as if she was determined to get that extraordinary "noble man".

Seeing her silent expression, Wang thought that all these years of discipline had failed. She was indeed a wild child picked up from outside and could not be tamed at all.

What she was more afraid of was that Nanshan had climbed up the ladder and once he gained power, he would get to the bottom of the previous rumors. She had also fanned the flames of those rumors, because as she looked at her gradually growing face, she knew that she would not be able to cope with the situation in the future, so she wanted to tarnish her reputation.

After all, Mr. Li from the prefect's family is from a higher class.

If she married a nobleman and found out something, she might even find out that she had stolen a baby from a passing traveler.

Wang looked at Nanshan with a half-smile: "I will never let you succeed."

Nanshan raised his eyelids and looked at the "mother" in front of him who was gritting her teeth: "I will definitely not let you down."

"Wang, I call you mother to give you face. Don't think that I, Nanshan You, am still the same as before, letting you twist and turn me around without saying a word."

After Nanshan finished speaking, he walked out, closed the door, and left Wang in the room pounding the bed and cursing.

Nanshan went to the ear room to inform Aunt Cui, and then went straight back to his room.

In the darkness, Wang stared at the ceiling of the bed, gritted her teeth and muttered, "Nanshanyou, since you like to cling to the powerful so much, then let him wait."

Is there any man willing to wait for three years of mourning?

-

In the second half of the night, the Mid-Autumn moon hung in the night sky like a silver plate, against the backdrop of the blazing fire in the main courtyard of Nanshan Mansion.

"There's a fire! There's a fire!" A hurried voice sounded, and the servants were called to come to Wang's yard to put out the fire.

That night, most of the servants in Nanshan Mansion were putting out the fire.

Hearing the noise outside, Nanshan put on his clothes and went out, only to see servants coming in one after another, each holding a wooden bucket in their hands, and pouring the water in the bucket into the fire one after another.

The fire was out and Wang's yard was pitch black.

After a while, the servant ran out of Wang's room: "Corpse...corpse!"

"Let me take a look." Nanshan ran in. She was afraid that Aunt Cui was inside.

Pushing aside the crowd, a thin corpse appeared before his eyes. The corpse was about the same size as Wang's, but judging from the size of the skull and the vaguely discernible foot skeleton, it did not seem to be Wang's corpse.

Nanshan walked forward, squatted down and carefully observed the corpse in front of him. She was completely unrecognizable and could not be seen at all as she looked before birth.

"Buzz!" A small insect suddenly flew out of the corpse's nasal cavity and rushed straight into Nanshan's nasal cavity.

"Ah!" Nanshan was knocked to the ground by the impact.

"Miss!" A familiar voice came, and a pair of strong hands helped her up.

Nanshan shook his head and blinked his eyes. Seeing that the person in front of him was Aunt Cui, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you okay, Aunt?" Nanshan looked left and right, "Are you not injured?"

“No, no, Miss. I was just in the kitchen making a calming soup for Madam, but I didn’t expect it to catch fire.” Aunt Cui pointed at the bowl of calming soup that had fallen on the ground at the gate of the yard.

Nanshan tightened her hand and said, "Fortunately, you are okay." Xiao Liang would be returning home for rest in two days. If anything happened to her, Nanshan didn't know how to explain to the child.

"Where is the eldest lady? Why did she fall down suddenly?" Aunt Cui checked Nanshan's palms that were supporting the ground with concern and wiped them carefully with a handkerchief.

"It's okay. The wind just blew up a cloud of dust and blinded my eyes." Nanshan said.

As soon as the worm entered her nasal cavity, it was swallowed by the big poisonous insect in Guixu. She thought that this was Wang's backup plan. It should be the poisonous insect that she had been feeding with her blood.

Unfortunately, her poisonous insect was of no use to her.

"Miss! Miss!" Second Aunt hurried over, pulling Nan Shanwan with her. "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, the fire is out." Nanshan went forward and when he looked up, he saw Nanshan Yun walking in slowly.

Nanshan took Aunt Cui's hand and said to Second Aunt, "Aunt, please take Aunt Cui and A-chun to your yard to stay temporarily. I have something to say to my father."

"Okay, come over here and rest after you're done talking." After saying this, the second aunt walked away, looking back every few steps.

"What's going on?" Nanshan Yun saw that when he came, the servants and the second aunt who hadn't been seen for a long time were all sent away by Nanshan. She felt an inexplicable anger in her heart. He didn't know that she, Nanshan You, had the final say in this courtyard? Therefore, she spoke impatiently.

"I want to ask, if your wife runs away, how will you tell others?" Nanshan went straight to the point.
