"What!"
Nangong Cheng slammed the table and stood up, incredulous, "That woman Xu Haitang killed so many people and pretended to be my sister, but my grandfather wanted to protect her? Is he crazy or senile?"
Nangong Yu remained silent.
He also felt that his grandfather was being too absurd this time.
It was totally unlike him.
Since yesterday, it's like I've become a different person.
Xie Ling's eyes seemed thoughtful.
"You mean, he's not usually like this?"
Nangong Yu nodded and quickly explained.
"My grandfather was a very strict and upright person who valued the law. Even when my most favored aunt had an affair with Young Master Murong, my grandfather beat her half to death."
Xie Ling nodded, "Your grandfather might have been poisoned."
"Poisoned?"
The two answered in unison.
After Nangong Cheng finished speaking, he pouted and said, "Sister, that's also your grandfather."
Xie Ling did not reply, and continued: "There is a kind of Gu in the world that can control a person's mind, making that person obey unconditionally and protect themselves."
Nangong Yu was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. He could no longer maintain his composure, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Ridiculous! How dare she cast a curse on my grandfather! She is so shameless that she deserves death!"
Xie Ling continued to ask: "Is Xu Haitang seriously injured?"
Nangong Cheng shook his head. "The force I stabbed her with was mostly offset by the soldiers next to her. She will probably wake up at night."
"It has to be quick, or my disciples and I will die."
The Nangong family has deployed all its strength. She alone cannot resist unless she takes out the cannons and spears in the space.
Xie Ling looked at Nangong Yu with a serious expression, "Take me into the mansion quickly, I will cure him of the poison."
Nangong Yu also realized the seriousness of the matter and his face became solemn.
"Okay, I'll take you in right away, and I'll assign people to protect your disciples."

When Xu Haitang woke up, he was being carried out by a group of soldiers. He felt a tearing pain all over his body, especially his chest, from which blood was dripping out.
The deep dungeon was dark and without any light. She half-opened her eyes, and the words she heard while unconscious suddenly flooded into her mind.
Her face turned pale instantly!
Nangong Cheng actually investigated so thoroughly that he found Li Shen’s body!
What frightened her even more was who that goddess was?
Why did she imitate Xiaoyue's gestures? Is she a human or a ghost?
There was a ruthlessness in Xu Haitang's eyes.
No matter whether she is a human or a ghost, if she can kill her once, she can kill her a second time!
Even if she is a ghost, I will scare her to death!
Xu Haitang is extremely lucky now because she has put a Gu on the old man Nangong Ruizheng, otherwise she would really be powerless to save the situation.
Nangong Ruizheng's study.
When Xu Haitang was carried in by the soldiers, he was holding his forehead with an expression of struggle and pain on his face, sometimes lucid and sometimes confused.
Xu Haitang endured the pain, took out a bamboo flute from his sleeve and blew it.
Nangong Ruizheng's expression gradually became calm and his pupils dimmed.
Xu Haitang's voice was sharp.
"Send someone to kill the people from Mingyue Island! Cut that woman that Nangong Cheng mentioned into pieces!"
Tonight is destined to be an uneven night.

Wei Linglong Courtyard.
She sat by the windowsill, squinting her eyes and looking outside, looking thoughtful.
Today, she went to the eldest lady as usual to listen to her "lectures".
But on the way back, I noticed something was wrong.
Things are very strange in Nangong Mansion today.
All the guards on the road had disappeared, and even the sturdy servants were nowhere to be seen.
The power of the entire Nangong Mansion seemed to have evaporated in an instant.
This is simply impossible for a century-old family!
Unless—they want to start a war?
Wei Linglong's heart sank quickly.
No, even if a war is launched, it is impossible not to leave soldiers to protect the women, children and the elderly in the mansion.
Wei Linglong tapped the table, her brows tightly furrowed.
As a princess, her political acumen is undoubtedly very high.
Wei Linglong thought of Wei Zhaoguo who was thousands of miles away, and felt uneasy, so she called out her confidant.
"Go check if anything major happened in the city today."
After thinking for a while, Wei Linglong looked at Que'er.
"Prepare a box of cakes. I want to visit my noble husband whom I have never met."
