Chapter 374 Just a Slave
Wealth and glory... ?
Hearing these four words, Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, and then she began to understand why they called her back during the New Year.
So, he smiled faintly and said, "Well, I think you misunderstood, mother."
Gu Tingchun looked at her: "What?"
"My daughter has no wealth or honor. Now I am just a slave in the palace."
“…”
When she said this, the three people from the Si family were stunned.
Slave?
Si Muyun forced a smile and said, "Nan Yan, stop joking."
“…”
"That day, the eunuch who came to the palace to pick you up told my brother that you were a female official appointed by the emperor himself. You are clearly a female official, so how could you be a slave?"
Gu Tingchun and Si Mulan also looked at her.
Nan Yan smiled faintly again, and then said: "Yes, I am indeed a female official appointed by the emperor, but because I offended the emperor earlier, I was confiscated and enslaved a long time ago."
“…”
"The Emperor asked me to be a female official in charge of the imperial court, just to do some work."
“…”
"But I am indeed a slave now."
For a moment, everyone in the hall changed their expressions.
Everyone is happily welcoming the second daughter of the Si family back tonight, because she has become a female official in the Shangbao Palace, which is a glorious thing for the family.
Who knew that she was just a slave?
Wouldn't it be a joke to bring her back this time?
Gu Tingchun frowned.
Simulan sneered and said, "Humph, I thought you'd made some progress after being in the palace for so long, but I didn't expect you to become just a slave."
As he said that, he turned to look at Gu Tingchun, whose face gradually darkened: "Mom, what did you say before?"
“…”
"A bastard is a bastard, and he can't change no matter where he goes."
“…”
“It’s true.”
On the other side, Gu Tingchun's expression gradually turned ugly.
This Si Nanyan has always been a thorn in her side since she was a child. If she hadn't taken into consideration that she was after all the daughter of the Si family and had an old lady who was not quite sober to protect her, she really wanted to get rid of her.
Later, when the palace was selecting concubines, in order to prevent her own daughter from suffering, she used a trick to force her to be selected into the palace.
Let's just call this matter over.
But unexpectedly, one day her two children went to visit the great scholar Jian Tongguang, and when they came back they brought news about her. Not only did she not die in the chaos in the palace, but she became a female official and seemed to be very rich.
In order to help Si Muyun become Jian Tongguang's disciple, she swallowed her pride and asked the girl to come back.
And she even lowered her face to try to get close to her, but this damn girl was still indifferent, which made her even more angry.
Who knew that she was just a slave.
When he thought of this, Gu Tingchun's gaze towards Si Nanyan changed.
Nan Yan's expression also changed.
Bastard...
These two words are what she has heard the most since she was a child. She originally thought that she could escape by leaving this home, but now, it is like two knives stabbing into her chest.
She glared at Simulan: "Say it again!"
Si Muyun was glared at by her red eyes, and his heart trembled suddenly.
She hadn't expected Si Nanyan to have such a cruel, even oppressive gaze—wasn't she just a slave? Why would she have such a gaze?
When she saw him, she broke out in cold sweat.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the classroom became a little awkward.
