Chapter 780: Kneel Properly, Our Ancestors Are Watching You

Ning Shu pointed towards the rows of ancestral tablets. Her voice was like thunder as she said sternly, Then tell me, in front of our ancestors, what mistake youve made?

An Lingyun was frightened by Ning Shus stern manner and started crying. Mother, dont be like this. Lingyuns scared.

Ning Shu just kept looking at her. As An Lingyun cried, she kept peeking at Ning Shu and found that her mothers gaze was as cold as a glaring cold blade that was flying towards her. At the same time, it was like a well that reflected the moonlight, eerie and frightening.

An Lingyun was scared, so she cried even louder. Mother, I know my mistakes, I really do! I shouldnt have let Father out!

And? asked Ning Shu.

Theres more? An Lingyun looked at Ning Shu in confusion.

Ning Shus heart filled with so much fury that she was about to explode. During all this time doing tasks, Ning Shu had never felt so helpless and angry.

Sometimes, when naivety was treated as cuteness, it could take a persons life!

The only thing Ning Shu was gratified about was that she had managed to send An Yu away ahead of time, otherwise the current chaos that would be going now would be unimaginable.

These kind of love hate entanglement were seriously stupidly hard to deal with.

Ning Shu reached out and wiped away An Lingyuns tears. An Lingyun immediately smiled through her tears. Mother.

Ning Shu said with a smile, Kneel properly. Dont try to slack off. In this hall, the spirits of our ancestors are watching you. Ill let you out when you finally come to understand things.

Mother. The smile froze on An Lingyuns face as she looked at Ning Shu disbelievingly.

Ning Shu turned and left the ancestral hall, then locked the door behind her. Inside the room, An Lingyun finally reacted and started hitting the door shouting, Mother, let me out! Mother! Im scared.

Ning Shu stood outside the door and listened to An Lingyuns heart-wrenching cries. Her heart pulsed with uncomfortable emotions. There was heartache, resentment, and also hard to describe melancholy.

This was clearly the original hosts feelings.

Mother! Mother! How can you treat me this way? I hate you! I resent you! You didnt use to be like this, Mother! An Lingyun slapped the door as she sobbed. She didnt want to stay in the ancestral hall. She couldnt shake off the feeling that a pair of eyes she couldnt see were staring at her. Mother, Mother! Lingyun hates you! Mother, Ive wronged! Please let me out!

Ning Shu stood at the door and said, In the past, Mother has indulged you too much, which led you to become completely incapable of distinguis.h.i.+ng right from wrong. Starting today, I will no longer indulge you.

When An Lingyun heard what Ning Shu said, she started sobbing even harder. Someone that has always loved and doted on her suddenly no longer treated her well at all. It was extremely hard to accept. An Lingyun was very angry and even felt resentment towards her own mother, so she shouted, Mother, youre just angry! I let Father out and he went to find Princess Mingzhu, thats why youre angry! And youre taking all your anger out on me!

Ning Shu:

Thats right, I am taking my anger out on you. Who asked for you to be my daughter? I gave birth to you and raised you, so whats wrong with me taking my anger out on you? Its not me that owes you, youre the one that owes me, said Ning Shu mildly.

Mother, you- An Lingyun was stunned.

Kneel properly, our ancestors are watching you, said Ning Shu.
