The prince is very cruel

"I can move around now, but he's under house arrest and won't let me leave the house or cause trouble for you. I tricked the guards into letting me out this time. There are too many guards at home, so only you can help me get out."

"How about you help me escape and let our affair be written off?" She looked at him in a threatening and tempting way.

Guan Ning was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

This is probably the ancient version of a problem girl, right? Or one of those top-notch beauties, the kind that God has gifted.

She probably doesn't know how big the world is, how sinister the people in the martial arts world are, and how difficult life is after she leaves the nun?

With Yuan Xianger's temper and her simple and unruly nature, without the protection of Yuan Tao, she would either suffer a lot or fall into hell just because she is too beautiful.

"What are you laughing at!" Yuan Xiang was dissatisfied and felt that she was being looked down upon.

Guan Ning shook his head and placed the rice porridge and side dishes brought by Tang Xiang'er in order.

He said calmly, "I know a little about your family. I can totally understand why you hate your father."

"But your father is the head of the family, and there are many things he can't do on his own."

Seeing Guan Ning speaking up for Yuan Tao, Yuan Xiang immediately flew into a rage and slammed her palm on the stone table, nearly spilling the rice porridge. She glared at Guan Ning, "Asshole, I didn't come to you to hear this!"

Tang Xiang'er was startled.

Guan Ning remained calm as he ate his breakfast and said calmly, "Isn't it?"

"Last night I saw your mother's spirit tablet in the ancestral hall. You should know that only men can enter the ancestral hall, and it is rare for women to enter."

"Your father knows everything your mother has done for you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked such disapproval by allowing your mother's spirit tablet into the ancestral hall."

"From this point of view, although your father feels guilty towards your mother, he has never forgotten her."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiang was furious. If looks could kill, Guan Ning would be reduced to nothing but bones.

"You said no, then no?"

"You men are all the same!"

"The most unfaithful person!" Her eyes were full of disgust and prejudice.

Guan Ning was instantly disheveled in the wind. How did this have to do with gender?

He smiled bitterly: "Miss Yuan, I am telling the truth."

"Your mother has worked hard all her life to support this family. Are you just going to watch her hard work go to waste?"

He immediately changed his approach.

As expected, Yuan Xiangren became noticeably calmer.

"It's a pleasant feeling for you to leave like this, but have you thought about the other people in the Sima Mansion? Your father will be crazy looking for you, and people like Butler Yang will have trouble sleeping all day."

"A home doesn't feel like a home anymore. If my wife could see this from her spirit in heaven, what do you think she would think?"

Although Yuan Xiang was not convinced, he was speechless.

Guan Ning continued, "You hate your father for not being able to see your mother on her deathbed. Isn't he also living in guilt and pain?"

"A man's world is far from as simple as you think. He has his own responsibilities."

"Sometimes, you can't go home just because you want to." When he said this, a hint of complexity appeared in his eyes. He thought of Qin Yao, Ning Xiu, and his own helplessness.

Yuan Xiang's eyes flickered. "As long as he wants to, what can stop him? In the final analysis, he only cares about his own power and his official position!"

Guan Ning shook his head: "You are still too young, and you always think that the world is either black or white."

"It's not your fault."

"But I advise you not to do anything rash."

"Just think of it as your late mother's. She definitely wouldn't want to see you and your daughter being like enemies."

Outside the door, a grateful look was cast at Guan Ning.

Yuan Tao never dreamed that the person who understood his responsibility and helplessness was a young man in his twenties, or was it that Guan Ning was experiencing such helplessness and pain at this moment?

A hint of hesitation flashed across Yuan Tao's eyes, and he was obviously not as determined as before.
