Chapter 347 Make Her a Concubine

"I understand! Get up now." Xie Jinglan pulled back the thin quilt, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom.

A quarter of an hour later.

After Xie Jinglan finished washing up, she came out and went to the front yard lobby with Beitang Yuan.

She was wearing a neat black outfit today, with her long black hair tied into a high ponytail.

The two of them quickly arrived at the front hall and saw that there were quite a few people inside. The old lady was sitting upright on the chair in the main hall, and a young and beautiful woman in her twenties was standing next to her.

Xie Jinglan recognized this woman. She was Nangong Rong's daughter. It was said that she had joined the Qingjian Sect and was the direct disciple of the Qingjian Sect Master. She came back yesterday with her master to celebrate the old lady's birthday.

The Nangong Zhuo brothers, Zhongli Xiao, and several clan elders sat on the seats on both sides below. Several young disciples of Nangong Ze stood behind the adults, as if they were going to discuss something important.

"Meet the old lady!"

Beitang Yuan and Xie Jinglan paid their respects to the old lady first.

The old lady didn't say anything, her eyes fell on them, revealing sternness and scrutiny.

It had been a long time since the person in the upper seat asked them to stand up. Xie Jinglan sneered in her heart, thinking that it seemed that he was targeting them.

A hand reached out and pulled her up.

"I wonder why you called us here?" Beitang Yuan's voice was very cold, and he couldn't even salute the Nangong Zhuo brothers as he should have.

When the old lady saw that they not only stood up without waiting for her to speak, but also had a cold and arrogant attitude, her face suddenly darkened and she knocked the ground with the cane in her hand.

"Huh! What small place did you come from after all? You don't even know the most basic rules."

Nangong Zhuo hurriedly said, "Grandma, since the two children are here, tell us what happened!"

"Since this is your family's business, I'll stay away for now!" Xie Jinglan said and was about to leave.

She was not stupid, she could sense that the old lady disliked her very much.

If that's the case, why should she be looked down upon here?

Suddenly I felt a little regretful about accepting the Yuluo City given by the Nangong family.

I feel like I'm being taken advantage of by others and having a soft tongue.

She, Xie Jinglan, has not yet fallen to the point of relying on others' charity.

This old lady wouldn't think that the Xie family's stay in Dongzhou means they have to live under the yoke of the Nangong family, right?

"Miss Xie, wait a moment." Nangong Zhuo stopped her, looking somewhat helpless. "What I want to talk about today is related to Yuan'er. Why don't you stay and listen?"

"Lan'er, wait for me to go together." Beitang Yuan took her hand and stood next to Nangong Ze and the other young people.

The old lady's face stretched even longer, and she looked gloomy. "Miss Xie, I know you have some abilities, but don't forget, this is the Middle World, not a small place like your Guangyuan Continent."

"I understand, so I never overestimate myself, nor underestimate my opponents." Xie Jinglan tried to keep her voice calm, looking at the old lady and asked:

"If you have anything to say, please speak directly! If our presence causes trouble or brings trouble to your family, then we will leave today."

Since the old woman had said so much, she might as well leave Yuluo City and go to Zhongzhou Tiandu City to seek refuge with her master.

Zou Ting is really good to her, and they have a common enemy.

Nangong Zhuo quickly said, "Miss Xie, that's definitely not what we meant. Don't think too much."

"Master Nangong, why don't you listen to what the old lady wants to say first?" Xie Jinglan said.

"Miss Xie, our Nangong family is a prestigious family that values ​​rules and etiquette. You and Beitang Yuan are unmarried, so please don't hug and cuddle in public. How can this be considered proper?

So many guests came yesterday. If this matter gets out, how will people outside view the Nangong family? "The old lady said this with a somewhat excited expression.

Xie Jinglan was stunned when she heard this. It turned out that what she and Beitang Yuan talked about in the corridor yesterday had reached the ears of this old woman!

"I didn't say that." Nangong Jin saw Beitang Yuan's unfriendly look and quickly waved his hands, "Young Master, I swear to God, I really didn't say that."

"terribly sorry……"

"Lan'er, this matter has nothing to do with you, no need to apologize." Beitang Yuan interrupted her apology:

"You and I are an engaged couple. If just holding hands involves family rules and etiquette, it's ridiculous."

"Beitang Yuan, you..." The old lady was so angry that she stabbed the ground with her hand. "How could that evil girl give birth to something like you? It's such a misfortune for our family!"

Beitang Yuan suddenly clenched his fists, his eyes cold.

"Great-grandmother, please don't be angry." The woman standing next to her hurriedly helped her smooth her back and looked at Beitang Yuan and said:

"Young Master, please stop talking and don't make Great-grandmother angry!"

"Grandma, Yuan'er and Miss Xie are still young. It's just holding hands and it's harmless. We don't need to be so harsh on them." Nangong Rong advised.

"Grandma, if you have something to say, please tell me!" Nangong Zhuoye said.

After a long while, the old lady finally calmed down and said slowly:

"Beitang Yuan, you are now the young master of the Nangong family. You must put the Nangong family first in everything. I asked you to come here today because I have two things to tell you.

First, from today on, Beitang Yuan will change his surname to Nangong. Once you master the Nine Yang Chaos Divine Art, you will immediately inherit the position of patriarch. From now on, the Nangong family's prosperity, decline, honor, and disgrace will all depend on you. Do not let the family down. "

Hearing this, Xie Jinglan couldn't help but look at Beitang Yuan. Did he really want to change his surname?

The old lady paused, then continued, "Secondly, you marry Nangong Yao..."

"Absolutely impossible!" Beitang Yuan suddenly interrupted her, "First, I was born into the Beitang family and will not change my surname; second, I will never marry anyone other than Xie Jinglan in this life."

Xie Jinglan looked at the woman standing next to her. It turned out that her name was Nangong Yao.

Nangong Yao had a look of astonishment on her face. She didn't expect that Beitang Yuan would dare to disobey the old lady. How dare he?

"That's not up to you." The old lady stabbed the ground with her cane again. "As the future head of the family, the legitimate son you give birth to must have the blood of the Nangong family."

Beitang Yuan's eyes were red as he looked at the old woman coldly, wanting to see what more shameless words she could say.

"I know you like Miss Xie. I have already told Yao'er that Miss Xie can be your concubine." The old lady made the decision for him, with an expression that did not allow for refusal.

"I won't be anyone's concubine." Xie Jinglan's cold eyes were full of sarcasm.

"You are at least self-aware." The old lady thought that she would not pester Beitang Yuan anymore, and her expression softened slightly.

"Don't worry, even though we can't become relatives, our Nangong family will still help you and let the Xie family gain a foothold in this middle world."

"No need! I, Xie Jinglan, will not depend on anyone to live." Xie Jinglan said proudly.

Nangong Zhuo and his son, as well as Nangong Rong, were anxious, but they did not dare to disobey the old lady.

"Lan'er, let's go!" Beitang Yuan took Xie Jinglan's hand and was about to leave.
