Origin System, I have a barren mountain

Liang Yu never expected that Cheng Yunmo would speak so recklessly in front of so many people. Was this the same Cheng Yunmo he had ever seen who was so tolerant?

No one said anything immediately; they were all watching to see how the Emperor would react.

At this moment, Liang Yu's attitude was subconscious. Everyone had spent so much time with the Emperor that they could naturally tell what the Emperor meant.

The person with the character "Yun" remained silent. At this moment, not speaking out about the injustice was what made Cheng Yunmo feel even more distressed.

"Your Majesty, and everyone here, look at what Cheng Yunmo has become! She speaks to us so rudely. Doesn't she realize the contributions we've made to this city?"

"That's right. If ordinary people could defend the city, the emperor would naturally not have chosen to send so many people here."

"She doesn't even look at herself. She's not an ordinary person, yet she fantasizes about using an extraordinary identity to protect ordinary people. It's utterly delusional!"

"Who knows if she's being so nice, or if she has ulterior motives? We're just people out in the open, and ordinary people actually believe in such a minor imperial advisor!"

Countless words of attack appeared before Cheng Yunmo's eyes.

As Cheng Yunmo listened, if it weren't for Granny Qing behind her whispering something to her, she wouldn't have been able to suppress these onslaughts at all.

At this moment, Granny Qing came out and faced everyone. For some reason, Granny Qing did not appear in front of everyone. She had said some unpleasant things before, but when everyone saw her, they subconsciously avoided looking at her.

"When you all speak to the young Grand Preceptor like this, have you forgotten what you were like before? How many of you haven't eaten the food brought by the young Grand Preceptor? The people here have all come from hardship. How have you become like this now, looking down on your former benefactor?"

After saying this, the others couldn't say anything.

For some reason, they felt that this was something from a long time ago. It was just a small, barren mountain, and they always felt that the grain they received had nothing to do with the little national teacher. But now, it seemed that this little barren mountain could feed the entire Xu Kingdom.

"Who can prove just how big that desolate mountain was back then, and who can prove that the Xu Kingdom was built on such a small desolate mountain?"

One of the ministers raised this point: many of them had never seen the desolate mountain where the young imperial advisor resided.

Cheng Yunmo herself didn't know what she had done in the past, but it seemed that Granny Qing knew all about it.

"You, how did you know?"

Cheng Yunmo couldn't help but say it in front of everyone.

Granny Qing never imagined that even now, she still wouldn't understand the reason behind this.

“Naturally, this matter was specifically arranged by the Empress Dowager for me to investigate. It happened many years ago, and I have already investigated it thoroughly. No one knows more than me,” said Granny Qing.

The Empress Dowager...

"Although the Empress Dowager wants to live a good life, she knows that what you have done has not really caused you any substantial harm."

Although Granny Qing didn't want to speak ill of the Empress Dowager in front of so many people, the truth of the matter had to be revealed.
