1838 Freeing
âI will handle her funeral, and there is no need for you to concern yourself with it,â Ouyang Mingjing remarked to Gu Chaoyan, paying no heed to the approaching hidden guards.
Gu Chaoyan seethed with fury but managed to maintain her composure, instructing the hidden guards to remain composed.
Most of those hidden guards had suffered severe injuries during the ambush and were still recovering. Half of them had yet to fully regain their strength.
...
Their resentment towards Snow Territory had grown due to what had happened to Qing, and Gu Chaoyan was determined to seek revenge for her.
HoweverâŠ
She couldnât afford to panic at this moment. She wouldnât allow the hidden guards to sacrifice their lives for a fleeting grudge.
They were no match for the guards from Snow Territory, and Ouyang Mingjing had already revealed his sinister side, indicating that he wouldnât show mercy against any attack.
There was still time.
Huaijin was still missing, and they couldnât sever all ties completely.
They needed to bide their time and gather their forces.
Gu Chaoyan seethed with anger, but she kept herself composed.
Because she needed to maintain the calmness of her men.
Elder Man observed Gu Chaoyanâs retreating form and glanced at Ouyang Mingjing. It seemed like a prudent approach to handle the current situation. Phoenix Girl cherished her servants, and the loss of her beloved maid at the hands of Snow Territoryâs people would undoubtedly leave her deeply dissatisfied. However, attempting to appease her now wouldnât serve any purpose. They had to wait a little longer for the situation to calm down before making amends.
NeverthelessâŠ
It had been an excessively ruthless act.
Elder Man contemplated for a moment and decided to intervene.
As the guards from Snow Territory escorted Gu Chaoyan toward the wagon, Elder Man approached them.
He instructed the guards not to allow Gu Chaoyan to enter the wagon directly.
Then he spoke, âPhoenix Girl, I understand your anger and empathize with your feelings.â
ââŠâ
âThe City Lordâs actions have been ruthless, but he had his reasons.â
ââŠâ
âThe Acacia beans originated from our Snow Territory, but they are part of a tradition passed down through generations. One bean for the City Lord, and one for the Phoenix Girl, to solidify their bond. The City Lord acted out of duty, and he did not anticipate such an unfortunate turn of events.â
ââŠâ
âBut due to the unforeseen circumstances, the City Lord decided to fulfill the girlâs desires. However, she asked for too much and caused us trouble, necessitating her removal.â
ââŠâ
âThe City Lordâs actions were in the best interest of the people from Snow Territory!â
ââŠâ
âWe will provide compensation to her and her family. They will receive all the monetary support we can offer.â
ââŠâ
âIt all began with a single mistake, and the City Lord was compelled to take these measures,â Elder Man explained, sounding relieved.
Upon hearing thisâŠ
Gu Chaoyan scoffed.
The plan with the Acacia beans had been orchestrated by them, and if there truly was a rule passed down through generations, why had they carried it out behind their backs?
She couldnât ascertain if Qing had asked for too much, which she highly doubted based on her understanding of Qing.
But even if she hadâŠ
