Chapter 373 Mother was right to send you to the palace
Nan Yan frowned subconsciously.
This time she came back at the risk of angering Zhu Feng just to see her grandmother, not to visit that old lady.
However, judging from their expressions, they didn't seem to intend to let me go see grandma first.
She sighed and could only continue to be surrounded by this group of people. After a while, she arrived at the main hall of the Si family mansion. Although this place was not as spacious as the palace, it was also very bright. From a distance, she could see that the lights here were on.
It seemed that all the remaining servants in the house had arrived here.
What a grand occasion.
Seeing such a scene, Nan Yan didn't know whether it was to welcome her or to scare her.
As she walked through the gate, she immediately saw the beautiful woman in gorgeous attire sitting right in front of her.
She was also her aunt, the eldest lady of the Si family who had cast countless shadows on her childhood.
Gu Tingchun.
She must have been a rare beauty when she was young. Even now, in her forties, there are few wrinkles on her smooth face, and similarly, there is not much warmth either.
She always had an arrogant look on her face, especially her eyes, which had too much white in them, making her look arrogant. In this respect, her daughter Shi Mulan was almost identical to her. Especially when she looked at herself, her eyes seemed to be frozen.
She heard the sound at the door and looked up at her.
With just this one glance, Nan Yan felt that the heater in her hand seemed to have slowly cooled down.
Si Muyun had already stepped forward past her and said, "Mother, Nan Yan is back."
Gu Tingchun nodded and stood up.
But he didn't come over.
Nan Yan knew that she still had to follow the rules of being the mistress of the house, so she stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, mother."
A smile without any warmth appeared on Gu Tingchun's face.
"Nan Yan, you are finally back."
“…”
"Since you are safe and sound, why haven't you given me any news for so long?"
“…”
"Mom is always thinking about you."
“…”
Nan Yan stood up and said calmly, "Palace affairs are so busy that Nan Yan has no time to care about anything else. Moreover, when I entered the palace that day, my mother also said that I should walk my own path in the future and have no connection with the Si family. Therefore, I dare not bother you."
"Why--"
When Gu Tingchun heard what he had said at the beginning, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
She did say that at the beginning, but at that time, she really felt that Si Nanyan would die in the palace, and even if she didn't die, she would definitely not have a good life.
Who would have thought that she would turn her life around and have such a life today?
Seeing that the expression on Gu Tingchun's face was a little stiff, Simulan frowned and immediately pointed at Nan Yan and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Seeing that she was about to lose her temper, Si Muyun was worried that she would ruin today's plan, so she quickly pulled her aside and said, "Nan Yan, mother was afraid that you would still miss home after entering the palace."
Hearing him say this, Gu Tingchun hurriedly said, "Yes, yes."
“…”
"It would be a great honor for you to enter the palace and stay by the emperor's side, but I am worried that you will be too concerned about home and not take good care of yourself."
As she spoke, she smiled again and said, "It seems that it was right for my mother to send you to the palace today."
“…”
"If it weren't for that, how could you have achieved the prosperity and wealth you have today?"
