Chapter 774 - 772: The Son Has Something to Say
Duke An quickened his pace without changing his expression, so depressed he almost wanted to cover his face as he walked.
The old man was getting on in years now, his eyesight failing; he simply didn’t see the girl kneeling here, nor did he recognize her. If someone wanted to recognize her, let them do so; if someone wanted to see her, let them look; as for him, he neither recognized nor saw her.
The other officials also hesitantly followed inside, quite unsure whether the girl kneeling outside was in fact Ye Tang’s granddaughter. If so, why hadn’t there been the slightest pause in that old man’s stride?
Prince Fu’s face turned pale the moment he saw Ye Xinyan, cursing the wretched madwoman in his mind. He should never have tried to understand her actions with a sane person’s reasoning.
With her kneeling here like this, not to mention her own dignity, what about the dignity of His Highness Prince Fu?
This matter, caused by her outburst, would surely be reported to the Imperial Father, and thus be brought before His Majesty. As a prince, a royal son, accused of snatching the craft skills from the hands of a madwoman and contesting profits with her, where would his dignity lie?
Duke An almost entered the great hall with his eyes closed, standing in his usual position, and upon scanning the room, he saw myriad glances flying chaotically in all directions, darting hurriedly away.
Damn it, it was fortunate he was battle-hardened, with toughened skin and hardened flesh; if anyone else had such a troublesome granddaughter, they wouldn’t last at all.
So, shouldn’t all of you be looking at this old man with respect instead of sympathy?
Duke An felt quite aggrieved. Who among you has a daughter like this? Forget the girls, even including the boys, which one possesses such courage? Hmph!
