Jian Tongguang looked at her for a moment and said: “This old man has another word to ask.”

“Please ask Old Master Jian “

“You just said that if His Highness Yan w.a.n.g ascended the throne, he might possibly create a wise era. Do you really think he can become a brilliant Emperor ?"

“Please ask Old Master Jian “

“You just said that if His Highness Yan w.a.n.g ascended the throne, he might possibly create a wise era. Do you really think he can become a brilliant Emperor ?"

Nan Yan hesitated for a moment and then said : “I am only a weak and feeble woman. I cannot see the future.”

Jian Tongguang said : “You are the Si family's daughter so how can you can still say that ?  Even if you cannot see the future, you can understand people's mind.”

Nan Yan thought about it for a while. She then looked up and caught the sight of Jian's son, together with Madam Jiahe. They all looked at her with hoping eyes.

It seemed that this matter was more significant for them than their own life and death.

She pondered for a long time and then whispered : “His Highness Yan w.a.n.g—— Whether he can become a brilliant Emperor is hard to say.”

“Maybe, it will depend on the aids around him.”

“If there is a wise man around him, he will become a brilliant Emperor."

"If there is an ignorant stranger around—— “

Afterwards, even if the His Highness Yan w.a.n.g could not hear her, she would not dare to speak low of him.

Jian Tongguang's white eyebrows originally were all creased. This time, they slowly relaxed and his bright eyes were brightened like he was deep in thought.

Jian Ruojun stepped forward and asked : “Father ?”

He raised his hand, stopping him from talking. He lifted his head and looked at Nan Yan once again and then said : “Go back. This thing, let this old man think about it again.”

Nan Yan hesitated for a while, then said : “I hope that Master Jian will make a decision as soon as possible. Your decision is not concerning only you and the people of your own household, but is also related to the scholar world. Please take care of yourself."

After that, she bowed to him and turned away.

After walking out of the hall, Nan Yan heard the sound of a footstep behind her. It was Jian Ruocheng, the second son of the Jian Family, who caught up to her.

When Nan Yan came out, she felt sweaty and rubbed her hands. Jian Ruocheng smiled while handing her a handkerchief before saying : “You look exhausted Miss Nan Yan.”

Nan Yan replied to him :

“Well, I hope that Second Young Master Jian will forgive me.”

He waved his hand : “These words are very thought-provoking. Not only does father have to think about it. I am afraid even my big brother and many other people will have to think about it.”

When they had walked towards the door, Jian Ruoheng opened the door to send Nan Yan out. When they separated, he bowed to her and walked away.

Then, the Jian Fu's door closed again.

As soon as the gate was closed, Nan Yan's legs went soft. She finally let herself to sit down on the ground.

From beginning to end, she had never felt so embarra.s.sed like this. In front of Jian Tongguang, she had said those words to him. Even if the matter was done, just thinking about it again made her scalp turned numb.

If one said Zhu Feng really wanted to torture someone, he was likely not going to torment Jian Tongguang. But, that Jian was actually tormenting himself.

Just a little more and she thought that she almost would not be able to make it. .

As soon as she was holding the door to get up, she saw Ye Zheng hurriedly running over, grabbing her by the arm and pulling her up.

“Why are you sitting here ? Get up !”

"What ?"

Nan Yan did not respond, but when she looked back, she found herself sitting in front of the door of the Jian household. The scholar who came to die for Jian Tongguang, the curious people and the soldiers who surrounded the Jian house, all of them stared at her.

G.o.d !

Nan Yan was not aware of her surrounding. However, as soon as she found that many people around were staring at her, she felt that this was the most shameful thing that had happened in her life.

Her face was red from shame, one of her hand was taken by Ye Zheng to support her up while the other one covered her face. She hurriedly pa.s.sed through the crowd to go to the carriage waiting for them.

I want to die !

Ye Zheng helped her get into the carriage and saw her sitting there curled up, hoping that the earth would open up and swallow her. Though he was in a heavy mood, he could not help laughing

“It is okay. You do not need to stress as not many people had seen you.”
