บท 256: Rude Little Thing

"We'll have to wait until your father returns," Duchess Wang Qixing finally said. Her voice was a bit choked up with emotions but she continued on. "He'll inform us of the status of the remaining Royal family."

"The concubines can be set free," Li Chenyang said. "We only need to get rid of the heirs like the Princes or Princesses."

All the while, Li Wenmin sulked in his chair. It wasn't his place to speak up. He felt like a fool for taking so long to choose a side. There wasn't anything he could contribute to the conversation. 

Li Xueyue was also lost in thought. She wanted to tell the Duchess about Li Minghua, but at this point, it felt like it was no use. It wasn't like Li Xueyue had physical evidence of Li Minghua's presence. Chenyang's reaction was enough to silence her.

Holding back a sigh, she could only stare out the window and try her best to listen to the discussion between Chenyang and Duchess Wang Qixing.
