Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

According to her, the current old lady of the Nangong family gave birth to one son and two daughters, and the eldest daughter was the biological mother of her master Zhong Lixiao.

But when Zhongli Xiao was five years old, his mother died, and not long after, his father remarried.

However, the second wife his father married was none other than his mother's second sister, the second daughter of Old Lady Nangong.

Zhongli Yao was born to this second daughter.

The youngest son is Nangong Zhuo's father.

"Yuan'er, we are here to take you back to the Nangong family. You are just you and have nothing to do with anyone else. Don't think too much. Your uncle will get back all the people who hurt you." Nangong Zhuo assured Beitang Yuan again.

Seeing that Nangong Zhuo had said so much, Xie Jinglan pulled Beitang Yuan's hand and said, "Why don't you go and take a look too!"

"Okay." Beitang Yuan nodded.

Seeing that he finally agreed, Nangong Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief and let everyone continue on their way.

******

Dongzhou, Chaoyang City, Nangong Family.

Hearing that the patriarch was going to bring back the person who would inherit the magical skills, all the people in the Nangong family came to the front hall to welcome him.

When they first learned of Beitang Yuan's existence, the entire Nangong family was in an uproar.

After three or four hundred years, a genius finally appeared in their Nangong family.

The old lady who had not been seen for a long time came out to preside over the clan elders' meeting, and led all the clan members to open the ancestral hall, worship their ancestors, and express gratitude to them for blessing the family with prosperity.

"We're here!" Nangong Zhuo and a group of people flew to the gate of the Nangong family.

The housekeeper had received the news early and was already waiting for them outside the gate.

Seeing them coming back, he hurried out to greet them, "Master, you're back!"

"Yeah." Nangong Zhuo nodded and led his men towards the mansion.

The housekeeper followed him three steps behind, "Master, the old lady is already waiting in the front hall. She said that if you come back, she should take people directly to the lobby."

"The head of the family knows!" Nangong Zhuo stopped and said, "Cousin, since grandma is in the hall, shall we go over and pay our respects to her first?"

"Let's go!" Zhongli Xiao nodded.

They walked all the way to the front hall, and everyone's eyes fell on Beitang Yuan.

Being stared at by so many people, Beitang Yuan seemed a little uncomfortable, with a tense face.

The front lobby was also full of people.

Beitang Yuan held Xie Jinglan's hand all the time and followed Nangong Zhuo and Zhongli Xiao into the front hall.

The two looked up and saw an old lady with silver hair sitting on the main seat in the spacious and solemn hall. She wore a headband on her forehead and held an exquisitely carved dragon-headed cane in her hand. She looked elegant and dignified.

Xie Jinglan thought to herself, Master is already over seventy years old, so this old lady must be at least one hundred and twenty years old?

But he didn't look like a man over a hundred years old at all. Apart from his white hair, he looked only about forty years old.

Seeing them come in, the old lady looked over with sharp eyes.

"Grandson greets grandmother."

"Grandson meets grandmother."

Nangong Zhuo and Zhongli Xiao greeted together.

"Everyone, get up!" The old lady looked at her grandson whom she hadn't seen for decades, her face expressionless. "Xiao'er, since you're back, you should assist Yao'er well! After all, your last name is Zhongli."

After hearing what the old lady said, Xie Jinglan felt that something was wrong. This old lady Nangong was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

As expected, Zhongli Xiao's eyes were gloomy. He didn't respond to her. After paying his respects, he waved to Beitang Yuan and said, "Yuan'er, come here. This is your great-grandmother."

"Just call me great-grandmother! From now on, Yuan'er is just a child of our Nangong family." Nangong Zhuo said.

Beitang Yuan took two steps forward, clasped his fists and bowed slightly towards the old lady, but did not say, "Junior greets the old lady," as Nangong Zhuo had taught him.

"Greetings, old lady." Xie Jinglan also bowed.

When the old lady heard Beitang Yuan's address, her face suddenly darkened, and the people present looked at each other in confusion.

Nangong Zhuo was helpless and quickly tried to smooth things over, "Grandma, Yuan'er just came back and may not be used to it yet."

"Yeah." The old lady's complexion looked better and she raised her hand.

The butler nodded knowingly and asked everyone in the lobby to leave, leaving only the five of them.

Old Lady Nangong then looked at Beitang Yuan and said, "He looks almost exactly like your mother. I think he has the same stubborn personality as her."

"The child is still young. I'll stop being so stubborn once she grows up." Nangong Zhuo served her tea.

The old lady didn't take the teacup, and her gaze turned to Xie Jinglan. "Are you the Miss Xie who has the Chaos Sword? You are quite pretty. No wonder this boy fell in love with you."

"I, Xie Jinglan, a junior, am engaged to Beitang Yuan. It was a marriage granted by His Majesty Yuyong." Xie Jinglan felt that the tone of the old lady's voice was not very friendly to her.

"Your Majesty? Just a piece of trash!" The old lady showed displeasure on her face. "Since this boy likes you, my Nangong family will naturally have a place for you."

"..." Xie Jinglan's eyes suddenly turned cold. Could it be that this old lady thought that she came here just to curry favor with their Nangong family?

"Please rest assured, old lady. I am just here with Master for a visit. I won't stay long."

"Master, since we have already visited, Lan'er and I will leave first!" Beitang Yuan said to Zhongli Xiao, and was about to leave while pulling Xie Jinglan.

He really didn't like it here and didn't want to stay any longer.

"Bang!" The old lady slammed her hand on the table. "You're just like your mother."

"Grandma..." Nangong Zhuo felt a headache. He had finally managed to call someone over, but he didn't expect his grandmother to have such an attitude. Now that she was angry and left, it would be difficult to coax her back.

"Yuan'er, wait a moment." He hurriedly stopped Beitang Yuan.

At this moment, a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes walked in from the gate, "Yuan'er..."

When Xie Jinglan saw the woman's stunningly beautiful face, she was stunned for a moment and seemed to understand who the visitor was.

Because Beitang Yuan looks about 70% similar to the woman in front of him.

If she guessed correctly, this beautiful woman was Beitang Yuan's biological mother, Nangong Ying.

It turns out that this man looks so enchanting because he inherited his biological mother's appearance.

Let’s not talk about her character first. With such a high appearance, it can be said that she is several streets ahead of Chang Sun Man!

I wonder what Emperor Kunming was thinking at the time? He abandoned such a beautiful empress and favored that scheming woman, Changsun Man? He was truly blind.

Seeing the person coming, Beitang Yuan's face became even more gloomy, and he pulled Xie Jinglan to go around her.

"Yuan'er!" Nangong Ying grabbed Beitang Yuan's sleeve in a hurry, "Things are not what you think. Mother has her own reasons. Please don't be angry with her, okay?"
