"You…"Qing Yuan"s facial expression changed. He wanted to say something but both Feng Ruqing and Nalan Yan looked at him at the same time. Their voices were stern.
"Shut up!"
"Get lost!"
Qing Yuan was speechless.
"Now I"m not even allowed to talk?"
Feng Ruqing eyes narrowed. "I don"t care about your ident.i.ty. I also don"t care about how loyal you were toward Fengyun Clan before. My mother said it just now. I"ll give you a choice. One, leave Ziyan. Two, leave Fengyun Clan."
Qing Yuan was stunned.
Ziyan risked her life for him. She was even willing to be a maid to Tang Yu." If I leave her behind now, then I"ll be a cruel person."
But, Fengyun Clan had always been his home. He was nearly killed before and it was the manor master who had saved him. She had even brought him back to Fengyun Clan.
He was unwilling to leave Fengyun Clan and he was more than unwilling to leave the manor master.
"Ziyan, apologize to them!" Qing Yuan clenched his fists tightly. He was in pain. "Quickly apologize to them."
Ziyan was shocked.
It was impossible that she did not notice the change in Qing Yuan even though she might be stupid.
"Is it because of Nalan Yan? Does she have some kind of relations.h.i.+p with Fengyun Clan?"
Ziyan got up slowly.
Her face was pale and she seemed weak.
That helpless smile on her face terrified Qing Yuan. He felt guilty.
"I"m sorry, Ziyan.
"You"re very important to me. I"ll not leave you behind. But, Fengyun clan is like a home to me and I cannot lose that."
"Qing Yuan, I"m not wrong. She attacked me first. Why do I have to apologize?" Ziyan smiled softly and turned to Nalan Yan. "Liu Yun Kingdom ruined my Long Ao Kingdom first. I don"t even hate you for that. I also don"t know what mistakes I have done. Feng Ruqing bullied me like that and you still ask me to apologize to them?"
"Even if Nalan Yan has a strong relation with Fengyun clan, it might be only her relations.h.i.+p with the elders.
"The whole of Fengyun Clan still belonged to the manor lady of Fengyun clan.
"She"s the rightful owner of Fengyun Clan!
"So, I don"t have to apologize to anybody!"
Ziyan raised her eyes and smiled pathetically.
There were arrogance and pride in her eyes. She would never lower her head.
Qing Yuan felt coldness all over his body. He turned his body gingerly and kneeled down heavily with both his knees. He kneeled down in front of Nalan Yan.
"Please forgive her. Ziyan is still young and naive. Moreover, she doesn"t know anything, so…" The man was sobbing and his voice was shaky. "In fact, she"s not bad."
"Ziyan is only ignorant.
"I can"t even reveal the manor master"s ident.i.ty."
But, Ziyan"s characteristics are such. She was filled with self-respect and self-love. She might not even admit that she was wrong even if she knew manor master"s ident.i.ty.
"It"s simply because… she"s that kind of person. If not, I would not have liked her so much."
Feng Ruqing walked past Qing Yuan and kicked Ziyan behind her knee. Ziyan was forced to kneel down.
"Grandpa, Uncle, Cousin. Come now!" There was a cold smile on her lips. She looked down at the woman who was kneeling in front of her, condescendingly.
"You…"
Ziyan"s facial expression changed.
She wanted to stand up but Feng Ruqing kicked her again. Her voice was filled with arrogance and aggressiveness.
The people from the Nalan family had come to stand in front of Ziyan. They received her greeting with much ease and peace of mind.
