"Have you forgotten? When we were little, we played together in Xinyueju. When my second sister bullied us, you protected me behind you."
"Sister, stop joking. What I did last night was wrong. I shouldn't have schemed against you with Nalan Feixue. But I, but I have no choice. Nalan Feixue and Nalan Yurong forced me to do this. If I don't do this, they will kill me."
"Actually, I... I have already planned it. After they leave, I will steal the antidote for my sister and will never let her marry into the Zhu family. Sister, do you believe me?"
He Xi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Nalan Ziyun, I'm really curious. Didn't you keep saying that there was no such a useless sister as me? When Nalan Zhengze told you in the study that you and I were not real siblings, weren't you very happy? Why did you suddenly change your mind now? You keep calling me sister, do you think the word sister is cheap?"
"You... How do you know?!" Nalan Ziyun shouted in horror, "How do you know what my father said to me in the study... You... Nalan Hexi, are you a human or a ghost? What else did you discover?"
He Xi's eyes were cold and gloomy, and he sneered, "What did I find out? Nalan Zhengze said that I am not his biological daughter. Does it count? You said you wanted to pretend to be my brother and steal An Lingyue's relics from me. Does it count? You planned to marry me into the Zhu family, torture me, and force me to ask the Nalan family for help, and finally hand over An Lingyue's relics. Does it count?"
The more He Xi spoke, the more Nalan Ziyun's body trembled, and the panic on his face became more and more obvious.
His body unconsciously moved back, his voice trembling, "Nalan Hexi, you... what on earth do you want to do? Don't forget, I am the young master of the Nalan family. If you... if you kill me, father will not let you go! And... and although you are not a member of the Nalan family, the Nalan family has diligently raised you for so many years. How can you repay kindness with enmity? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for doing this?"
"You have done your duty and raised me for so many years?" He Xi couldn't help laughing. "Did you know that your dear father, Nalan Zhengze, was standing right here just now. He said that of An Lingyue's two children, one was raised as a waste by him and thrown into another courtyard to be bullied by others, and he could even beat and scold the servants. The other was used and tortured by him in every way, and lived a life worse than pigs and dogs. Is this what you mean by doing your duty and raising me for so many years?"
Nalan Ziyun was filled with infinite panic, his body was shaking, and he shouted incoherently, "I don't know, I really don't know anything, this has nothing to do with me... I... I am still a disciple of the Seven Stars Palace, if you kill me... you will not end well, please, don't kill me... don't!"
As he was talking, the corner of his eyes fell on Nangong Yu. He suddenly pounced over, prostrated himself on the ground, and kowtowed heavily to Nangong Yu. "Your Highness Pluto, save me, please save me. I am the young master of the Nalan family. As long as you save me, the Nalan family will become your property and serve you. And... and my beautiful elder sister, she is the disciple of Master Xukong. If you are willing, I... I can give her to you as a concubine!" (To be continued)
