Chapter 657: Daring to be Angry but not to Speak Out
"Oh? The most important person, you say?" Zhong Niangyao’s lips curled into a mocking smile before she spoke, somewhat deliberately, "So tell me, who is more important to you, me or Prince Yu?"
Such a question, really, was no less difficult than the classic dilemma of choosing whether to save your mother or your wife if both were drowning.
Han An clearly hadn’t expected Zhong Niangyao to suddenly ask such a question, and for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
"How about it, is it that hard to answer?"
Watching Han An kneeling there, Zhong Niangyao let out a cold laugh and spoke, "Just now, didn’t you say I was the most important person to you? Why can’t you say it now? Han An, it seems that after so long not seeing each other, your ability to lie with your eyes open has improved!"
"No, that’s not it, Master—I—" Han An kept shaking her head, trying to defend herself.
But she had barely begun to speak when Zhong Niangyao cut her off sharply.
"Don’t call me Master." Zhong Niangyao gently shook her head, her words loaded with endless irony, "You haven’t been my disciple for a long time. From the moment you became Princess Consort Yu, you ceased to be my disciple."
"Master, though I married Prince Yu, in my heart, you will always be my Master." Han An said earnestly, tears in her eyes, "Master, I will always remember that if it weren’t for you, I might well not be in this world anymore."
"Is that so?" Zhong Niangyao shrugged her shoulders, speaking indifferently, "But in my heart, you ceased to be my disciple a long time ago."
