Chapter 658 Nangong Xin
"Mother Consort, I really don’t understand what you’re saying," Han An raised her head, her gaze firm, "I only went to catch up with my mentor today. So, I don’t understand what Mother Consort really wants to know."
"It seems you’ve found a powerful backer now, which is why you speak so boldly!" Noble Princess Consort Wan lifted her eyelids and glanced at Han An before speaking indifferently, "But, is this backer truly willing to support you?"
Upon hearing this, Han An’s complexion changed drastically, "Mother Consort, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean, can’t you really understand?" Noble Princess Consort Wan scoffed, "Han An, the State Preceptor has indeed returned, but as her disciple, can you still speak in her presence?"
In this Imperial Palace, there truly were no secrets. After Han An left the National Master Hall, her dispirited demeanor was enough to make people guess that her meeting with the State Preceptor was not pleasant.
"Master is just temporarily angry with me," Han An bit her lip and said, "Master has always been kind to me, she will surely forgive me in the end."
"If that’s really the case, then that’s for the best," Noble Princess Consort Wan nodded and continued, "Han An, you’ve been married to Chenyu for over a decade now, right?"
Suddenly hearing such a question from Noble Princess Consort Wan made Han An’s heart skip a beat, but she still had to steel herself to nod, "Yes, Mother Consort, it’s been thirteen years since I married Prince."
"Thirteen years already!" Noble Princess Consort Wan nodded again, then her tone shifted, "Thirteen years, yet you’ve still not borne Chenyu a son or daughter. Do you think you’ve been competent enough as a wife?"
Although it was just a few indifferent words, it instantly turned Han An’s face deathly pale. What Noble Princess Consort Wan said was true, she couldn’t refute it and could only choke out a response, "Mother Consort, please forgive me."
