Chapter 1519: Rats in the Gutter
Everyone laughed awkwardly.
But at this moment, Simulan sneered and said, "Your Majesty is right."
As soon as her voice rang out, the entire hall fell silent again, and everyone looked at her in unison.
Even Gu Tingchun frowned.
Ever since they found out that it was the Emperor who came with the Imperial Concubine, they had all been very cautious, not even daring to breathe. It was not for anything else, but because they were afraid that any words they said would offend the Imperial Concubine and remind her of the unpleasant past, and they were afraid that they would be in trouble. So, when Si Muzhen suddenly asked to toast just now, Gu Tingchun's heart was almost jumping out of his chest.
Now, Simulan suddenly spoke again.
She immediately turned around to look at her eldest daughter, only to see her face filled with contempt as she said, "Even the Imperial Concubine is like this."
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
What? I didn't cause trouble for them tonight, but they are causing trouble for me?
So, she raised her eyebrows and looked up at this "sister". A few days ago, she released her from the laundry department because of Gu Tingchun's plea. Of course, she didn't expect her to appreciate her kindness or change for the better.
After all, it is easy for people to learn bad things, but it is not easy to learn good things.
Besides, bad guys are divided into different levels.
People like this, who do nothing serious all day long, can't even do a single bad thing in a legitimate way, and can only do bad things behind people's backs. They are like rats in the gutter. How can we expect them to be good?
So, a slight sneer appeared on Nan Yan's face, and he looked at her calmly, his eyes seemed to say: Let's see what you are going to come up with today?
However, as soon as she showed this expression, Gu Tingchun, Gu Tingqiu and the others panicked.
Gu Tingchun quickly lowered his voice and said, "Mulan, what nonsense are you talking about again!"
“…”
"Shut up!"
Gu Tingqiu also said immediately: "You kids don't have the right to talk here, be quiet!"
As he spoke, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there are still a few performances tonight——"
However, before he could finish his words, he heard Simulan say, "Uncle, what's wrong? Just now, the brothers were able to speak, why can't I?"
“…”
"Besides, I'm talking about the Imperial Concubine's affairs, not something shameful."
“…”
"Could it be that the Imperial Concubine is too embarrassed to see others?"
At this, Si Muyun's face turned pale. He stepped forward and grabbed her shoulders, gritted his teeth and whispered, "Shut up! Do you want to execute our entire family?"
She was interrupted several times while speaking, and it was her family who interrupted her. At this time, Simulan was a little annoyed.
She kept thinking, why do you always have to stop me?
I am obviously your relative. Just because Si Nanyan became a concubine and gave you some benefits, do you protect her in everything?
Why don't you think about how she treated me? She sent me to the laundry to wash clothes for a year. Do you know how much I suffered?
Besides, I was the one who should have entered the palace in the first place.
If it weren't for Si Nanyan, maybe I would have been the imperial concubine, and at that time, I would have been the one who gave you all these benefits!
Are you guys just going to curry favor with the powerful and flatter the weak?
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became.
