Capítulo 862: The King as the Fall Guy

The day before yesterday, Father had brought back Aunt from the rundown temple. Aunt was in such a wretched state that she simply didn't look human anymore. Anyone who has a tiny bit of sympathy would find it unbearable, is that not right?"

"Oh?" Mo Lian responded with feigned puzzlement, "That day, We were also present. Elderly Lady Qiao was making a fuss to leave together with her youngest son and youngest daughter-in-law. So it turned out that Elderly Lady Qiao had later gone to stay at a rundown temple? But why?"

F*ck! Qiao Zhongde simply wanted to curse out loud in his mind!

His Highness was clearly intending to shield Qiao Zhongbang, wasn't he?
