Chapter 372 Threats, Interrogation

The old general continued to talk, "Grandfather is in poor health and has always needed careful care. That's why Aunt Ye stayed by his side and took care of my daily life meticulously."

Han Chaolin's eyes were like frost, coldly sweeping over the old general's back and the huge family group. His eyes seemed to be quenched with ice, able to freeze people's hearts, extremely cold.

He opened his thin lips slightly, but the words that came out were chilling.

"Is this what you call caring? You've raised a bunch of misshapen creatures?"

"Even though he's so frail, he still hasn't forgotten to indulge in women. Grandfather is truly still a sharp sword, still strong and vigorous. He's still as charming as ever!"

"Grandfather, are you planning to take all these embarrassing things back to the Protectorate Palace?"

The old general was also annoyed by this.

It's too much for a junior to accuse an elder like this.

His face was filled with indignation, and his voice trembled as he spoke, "You...why do you have to be so harsh? After all, I am your elder, your grandfather! How can you be so disrespectful and disregard our status?"

"Ugly? That's not even close to it." Han Chaolin's eyes were cold, and he refused to give in. "Since grandfather dared to do it, why can't the grandson speak out?"

"Besides, Grandfather abandoned my father and Third Uncle for these things. Don't you think you're being too much?"

At this moment, a clear, melodious and pleasant voice like a mountain spring sounded slowly, penetrating the noise and striking people's hearts.

"Indeed, these old guys who dare to act but not take responsibility are nothing more than a bunch of shameful clowns who are not worthy of being on the stage."

"Third brother, why bother playing around with these scoundrels? Wouldn't it be more satisfying to just go in with a knife and come out with a knife?"

"Why waste so much time talking to them? They are a bunch of shameless people who do whatever they want..."

In the face of absolute strength, there is no need to say much or to worry. Everything can be proven through actions.

The old general slowly raised his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him with a look that was almost scrutinizing but full of meaning.

She possesses a breathtakingly beautiful face, a cool, icy demeanor, and a subtle hint of arrogance in her every gesture. This unique aura, combined with a composure beyond her years, creates an intriguing picture.

But the words he said revealed a sense of arrogance and banditry, and it was obvious that he was a character who was not easy to mess with.

"Who are you? The affairs of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion do not require outsiders to meddle, and it is certainly not your turn to clamor and shout for war here..."

Upon hearing this, Han Chaolin immediately became furious.

"She's not an outsider. She's the legitimate mistress of the Duke of Huguo's mansion, personally appointed by His Majesty as the Princess of Benevolence, and the future Crown Princess granted marriage by His Majesty. How dare you disrespect her? Do you want to lose your head?"

The old general didn't expect that the girl's identity was so extraordinary.

But how did she become the official mistress of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion? What was her relationship with the Duke of Huguo's Mansion?

Taking a closer look, he saw the eyebrows and eyes that were extremely similar to Han Chaolin's, and a bold guess immediately came to his mind.

He rubbed his cloudy old eyes, trying to see more clearly.

Looks like... so much like...

She...could she be the little girl who was abandoned ten years ago?

Unexpectedly, she now has such good fortune!

It's really incredible!

Looking at this beauty again, the elegance she radiates from the inside out seems natural; her noble status is as dazzling as the bright stars; coupled with her stunning appearance, she is enough to make everyone fall in love with her.

Perhaps, everything is so natural.

The old general suddenly felt dizzy, and the last bit of spirit in his cloudy yet shrewd old eyes suddenly disappeared.

There was always a sense of foreboding hanging over his heart, like a dark cloud covering the sun, which would not go away.

Those secrets that he had carefully hidden for decades may no longer be able to be concealed.

At this moment, his heart was in turmoil and he was extremely nervous.

Everyone knelt hurriedly, their posture extremely humble, and saluted respectfully in unison, "Greetings to Princess Rende."

Lin Pianran didn't even look at them, but just said it calmly with a cold tone.

"Everyone, get up!"

At this moment, a middle-aged woman walked out slowly, with deep resentment on her face. Her eyes were like torches, fixed on Han Chaolin, as if two clusters of angry flames were burning fiercely in her eyes.

"No matter how noble the status of the people in the Protectorate Palace is, they can't be unreasonable and irrational, right?"

"You're so careless beating up the husband of a commoner and bullying your elders. Aren't you afraid of being despised by the world?"

Han Chaolin looked disdainful.

"Elders? Humph, you are simply arrogant and don't know your place."

"Let me ask you, from what unknown corner did you emerge? How dare you shamelessly pretend to be our elders? Are you worthy enough?"

"Forget it, I won't say any more to you. You all should leave first! I want to have a few heartfelt words with my grandfather, so please don't get in the way here..."

After hearing this, those people were not willing to leave immediately. They all turned their eyes to the old general, hoping that he could give them instructions.

The old general was also clear-headed at this time, knowing that they were all fish on the chopping board and could only be slaughtered at will, with no room for bargaining at all.

In desperation, he gently waved his hand, signaling them to leave first.

Han Chaolin raised his hand lightly, signaling his subordinates to bring two carved armchairs and place them steadily opposite the old general at just the right distance, showing both respect and majesty.

After seeing his sister sitting upright, he walked to another armchair and sat down with his arms and legs stretched out.

Then, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he looked directly at the old general, not wanting to beat around the bush with him anymore.

"We already know everything about the unscrupulous things you, the old lady, and the second branch of the Han family have done."

"Would you like to explain the reason yourself, or would you like me to do it myself and force you to explain it?"

"Now that things have come to this, don't hold on to your luck and try to turn things around. It's already a great achievement to be able to keep your life..."

The old general's gaze was deep and solemn, fixed on the two young juniors in front of him who were still childish, but his face was full of shock and helplessness.

If he doesn't confess now, I'm afraid his life and the lives of his children will be in danger.
