Chapter 492 - 323 Confrontation
Chapter 323
Lady Dugu flicked her sleeve slightly and headed towards the council hall.
"Mother, allow me to accompany you," Ran Yan quickly caught up to her.
Lady Dugu paused in her step, gave her a cold glance, and said coolly, "What are you going to do there, watch my disgrace?"
"The innocent are clear of guilt. I believe in you, Mother, and do not think you would do such a thing, but I am somewhat concerned," Ran Yan said, gazing at her with a forthright look.
Lady Dugu observed for a moment, then turned and walked away. She did not verbally agree, but also did not say that Ran Yan was forbidden to go. Therefore, Ran Yan took it as her consent and led Wan Lu to follow as well.
The council hall was built on the north side of the front courtyard, near the study. Upon entering the front courtyard, Ran Yan immediately saw white silk fluttering everywhere, and many servants were hanging white banners, creating a suddenly somber atmosphere.
Two rows of guards stood at the entrance to the council hall. They bowed their heads in salute as Lady Dugu approached but did not stop Ran Yan either.
Inside the room, more than twenty people in mourning dress gathered, with the Clan Leader sitting at the head seat, not arranged by their official ranks outside. Seeing this, Lady Dugu felt a slight tightness in her chest and couldn’t help but look towards Duke Song.
Duke Song had a somber expression and appeared quite displeased. Seeing his wife’s gaze, he gave a slight nod. Lady Dugu felt a bit more at ease. As long as her husband still had faith in her and stood on her side, what was there to fear! She, Lady Dugu, had never been one to be manipulated by others.
