章 2170: Another Story of Huaxia (11)

"Father."

Nangong Lan had recovered from her dazed state and bit her lips while tears streamed down. "It was Nangong Yunyi who scolded my mother first. He claimed that Mother was a mistress and I rebuked him because I could not endure what he said. Following that, he said that I humiliated his deceased mother but didn't mention the fact that he was the one who started it."

Hong Luan was stupefied. It was her first time to have encountered someone who deliberately distorted the truth and a smile unconsciously quirked on her lips.

"Nonsense!" As expected, the man was thoroughly enraged when he heard what she said and the flames of fury in his eyes deepened. "When your mother was alive, was this how she brought you up? You're completely lacking in your upbringing! Meixue is your stepmother, yet you insulted her as a mistress?! The true mistress was your mother and if it weren't for your grandfather forcing that marriage, do you think I would have married her?"
