Chapter 657: Dare to be angry but not to speak
"Oh? The most important person?" Zhong Nianyao raised her lips with a sarcastic smile, and then said deliberately, "Then who is more important to you, me or Prince Yu?"
This kind of question is really no less serious than the situation where your mother and wife fall into the water at the same time and you have to decide which one to save first.
Han An obviously didn't expect that Zhong Nian Yao would suddenly ask such a question. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer.
"Why, is it difficult to answer?"
Looking at Han An kneeling there, Zhong Nianyao smiled coldly and said, "Just now, didn't you say that I was the most important person to you? Why can't you say it now? Han An, it seems that after not seeing you for so long, your ability to lie with open eyes has improved!"
"No, Master, I--" Han An kept shaking his head, trying to defend himself.
However, she had just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Zhong Nian Yao.
"Don't call me Master." Zhong Nianyao shook her head gently, but her words were filled with endless irony. "You are no longer my disciple. From the moment you became Princess Yu, you can no longer be my disciple."
"Master, although I married Prince Yu, in my heart, you will always be my master." Han An said with tears in his eyes, "Master, I will always remember. If it weren't for you, I might have died long ago."
"Really?" Zhong Nianyao shrugged and said indifferently, "It's just that, in my heart, you are no longer my disciple."
Han An knelt on the ground, his face turned pale, "Master, I——"
"Actually, the reason I'm still willing to see you today is because I want to make everything clear with you." Zhong Nianyao looked down at him, "We've already severed our ties a long time ago. From now on, I hope you won't claim to be my disciple when you're out there."
The color drained from Han An's face, and her lips trembled. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. She had never thought that she would come here today and face such a result.
Looking at Han An's appearance, Zhong Nian Yao felt no emotion in her heart and turned to leave.
Han An, who was kneeling on the ground, became anxious when she saw Zhong Nianyao about to leave. She quickly stood up and blocked Zhong Nianyao's way.
"how?"
Looking at Han An who was blocking her way, Zhong Nianyao blinked, with a strange look in her eyes, "Princess Yu, do you have any other advice?"
"division……"
"I've told you many times, don't call me Master anymore." Zhong Nianyao interrupted Han An directly, "Princess Yu is so young, there shouldn't be any problems with her ears! If that's really the case, then I'm afraid your position as princess will be untenable!"
After hearing what Zhong Nianyao said, Han An's face was full of hurt. "Master... Imperial Master, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time! I promise that I will listen to you in the future. Please don't abandon me!"
"Princess Yu, you're too kind." Zhong Nianyao sneered and said, "There's no relationship between you and me, so how can you talk about forgiveness? I hope that when you see me in the future, you can just pretend you don't know me."
After saying that, she pushed away Han An who was blocking her way and left.
Han An stood there, her whole body cold. She could do nothing but watch Zhong Nian Yao leave.
She had never thought that her meeting with her master today would turn out like this. She had thought that her master would be angry with her, but she had never expected that her master would actually refuse to acknowledge her as his disciple.
How did things turn out like this? She hadn't really meant to betray her master; she simply wanted to help the one she loved. Furthermore, she had never truly intended to kill her master.
Now that the master has returned, why is he still unwilling to forgive her for her unintentional mistake?
Han An left the National Master's Hall in a daze, looking completely distracted.
As soon as she left the Imperial Master's Palace, she was taken directly to Concubine Wan's palace.
As soon as he entered the palace and saw Concubine Wan sitting on the throne, Han An subconsciously felt a trace of fear in his heart, and immediately bowed, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Mother."
As if she didn't notice Han An who was paying her respects at all, Concubine Wan picked up the teacup, took a sip, then picked up another piece of dessert on the table and slowly started eating.
Han An was half squatting, and naturally did not dare to stand up until he heard Concubine Wan's voice calling him, so he could only maintain this posture.
Even when she felt her legs trembling, she still didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements.
"Get up!"
It was not until Han An was about to fall to the ground that Concubine Wan said, as if giving alms, "Sit down and talk!"
The tone of almsgiving was not like treating his daughter-in-law, but more like treating his subordinates.
Han An was angry but dared not say anything.
After so many years, she already knew that the kindness that Concubine Wan had shown her was because she was the Imperial Master's disciple. That was why Concubine Wan tortured her like this after her master passed away.
However, even though she knew that Concubine Wan was torturing her, she had no other choice. The word "filial piety" was enough to prevent her from refutation. Moreover, this was Prince Yu's biological mother, her mother-in-law, so she could do nothing.
She had told her husband about these things, but he said she was overthinking it. After that, Concubine Wan's torture of her became even more severe.
After Han An sat down, Concubine Wan slowly spoke, "I heard that you just went to the Imperial Master's Palace, is that right?"
"Yes." Han An replied respectfully, "Master is back, and as his disciple, I naturally have to go and visit him."
After hearing Han An's answer, the light in Concubine Wan's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she spoke casually, "I really didn't expect that the Imperial Master, who sacrificed his life to heaven, could come back again. It's really incredible."
"Master is not an ordinary person. Nothing that happens to her is surprising." Han An responded calmly, "Besides, Master's sacrifice of her life was a kind act. God didn't let her die, which was also a recognition of her."
"Oh, that's great." Concubine Wan nodded, then changed the subject, "Han An, your master is back now, what do you think?"
"Mother, I don't quite understand what you mean." Han An said directly, "If you want to say something, just say it!"
Concubine Wan's eyes fell on Han An, her eyes looked sharp, "Han An, do you really not understand what I mean?"
