Chapter 86: Emperor arrives at Wang's Clan! Unsettled feelings
……
Wu Xue'ning was speechless, rolling her eyes secretly.
In recent decades, since Prince An took charge of the nation, he had diligently handled every matter, leading to a thriving national strength. Meanwhile, the Ancestor seemed to have nothing to do.
Bored out of his mind, the Ancestor began to get jealous over trivial matters, especially towards Master Wang Shouzhe, whom he constantly complained about, expressing various dissatisfactions.
"And Xue'ning, I noticed you've been in frequent contact with An Ye. You should be mindful of your status. It won't be long before Yi Luo and An Ye get married," Emperor Longchang advised earnestly. "Our Wu Clan marrying a princess to their Wang Clan is already a great honor for them. Don't you dare send another one."
Wu Xue'ning blushed instantly, stomping her foot in frustration, "Grandfather, what nonsense are you talking about? An Ye and I, we... we are just friends. It's normal for us to correspond."
In terms of seniority, Emperor Longchang was her great-grandfather. However, during this trip, the Emperor insisted on pretending to be a "commoner." Since he didn't look particularly old, calling him grandfather seemed more appropriate.
What left Wu Xue'ning speechless was that her great-grandfather claimed to be traveling incognito, but in reality, he was just playing around. From Qing'an Commandery to Lingbei Commandery, he had been playing the game of pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.
Whenever they encountered injustice or unpleasant situations, he would either send Old Yao to cause trouble or have Wu Xue'ning act as bait. Then, step by step, they would lure the other party into revealing their true colors, using dirty tricks to oppress the "weak." At the most critical moment, he would suddenly reverse the situation, turning the tables completely.
