"If you want to go, then go tomorrow."
“I’m going too. My people are everywhere around your brother. If you don’t let me go, you can forget about seeing him.” Mu Ruoyan made no attempt to hide anything and laid everything out.
Lin Xihe glared angrily at Mu Ruoyan.
Gu Qinghuai's gaze swept coldly over Mu Ruoyan, who was seriously injured but still provoking him, as if she were an icy blade. He couldn't help but feel annoyed that he shouldn't have upheld any gentlemanly principles in the first place.
Why should I treat such a petty person with the respect due to a gentleman?
However, despite the coldness in Gu Qinghuai's eyes, Mu Ruoyan remained completely unconcerned.

“Why should my people guard it? You conquered the Northern Border but didn’t massacre civilians. In the Northern Border palace, I don’t care who you kill except my mother. But you deliberately delayed my mother’s medical treatment. The torment you’ve suffered these past six months is all you deserve. If I could do it all over again, I would definitely torture you myself.” Mu Ruoyan’s eyes were full of resentment when she mentioned her mother.
Hearing his words, Lin Xihe angrily shouted, "Mu Ruoyan!"
The slight anger that had welled up in Mu Ruoyan's eyes from mentioning her mother had not completely subsided, but Lin Xihe's shout made her unconsciously tone down her sharpness.
