The General's Little Peasant Wife

Chapter 816: Empty Shells

Translator: Vesper

Although Nangong Yan did things he had no control over, he had not reached the point where he would allow others to humiliate him.

Xiao Luo Yan was nothing more than a puppet. In that case, what qualifications did he have to be treated with courtesy?

“You... Nangong Yan...”

“Xiao Luo Yan, it’s better that you think about how you’re going to explain yourself for the stupid things you did, so that you at least can have an answer when the Lord asks.” Nangong Yan gave Xiao Luo Yan a mocking look.

Xiao Luo Yan was in full power over this matter. The reason why the matter came to this point was also because of Xiao Luo Yan himself.

Qiao Tian Chang was injured, Xiao Qi Feng was exposed, and Tong Bao Zhai had withdrawn. All of this was because of him, wasn’t it? As a subordinate, Nangong Yan only acted when ordered, and at that time he still had no rationale.

Xiao Luo Yan’s expression immediately changed when he heard him, he looked at Nangong Yan coldly: “What do you mean?”

“You sent people with Xiao Qi Feng to lead Qiao Tian Chang, and you used me at the time when I lost my mind to seriously injure him. After Qiao Tian Chang woke up, you ended up causing Xiao Qi Feng to expose his identity. All of this was your order, wasn’t it?” Who was Nangong Yan? He had been a regent for decades, would he still be afraid of him?

“Shut up.”

Nangong Yan gave Xiao Luo Yan an indifferent glance: “Since you don’t want to listen, then I’ll shut up. Still, even if I have to shut up, the fact is still there, this is something you can’t just escape.” He turned to leave after saying that.

Xiao Luo Yan’s calm mind suddenly panicked as he watched Nangong Yan walk out. They were very clear what kind of person the Lord was, especially now that they had messed up plan.

If it was not for him to take things for granted, the situation would not be so bad now. Xiao Luo Yan felt terrified just thinking about the Lord’s expression when he returned.

No, he must not let the Lord see such a mess, he had to deal with all these before he returned.

“Men.”

He had a lot of commands to make for his following actions. After receiving Xiao Luo Yan’s command, Xiao Qi Feng held the secret letter in his hand, and there was a plausible smile on his face, especially the deep radiance in his eyes which really had people worried.

“Your Highness...”

“You may leave.”

The Chief Eunuch glanced at Xiao Qi Feng, then bowed and left.

Xiao Qi Feng leveled the secret letter in his hand to his eyes. Then he smiled ironically as he looked at it.

It seemed that the Xiao family from the West Coast was nothing out of ordinary, otherwise why would they send... such an idiot here?

Did he think it would be useful to do all these remedies now? Before he could find the core member of Tong Bao Zhai, did he think that people would simply continue to listen to his commands? He was simply ridiculous.

Xiao Qi Feng took the edge of the secret letter to a candle and watched the small fire slowly swallow up the letter. After which, he returned to his seat as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Luo Yan was furious at the fact that there was no movement at Xiao Qi Feng’s side.

“Xiao Qi Feng, how is the progress of the things I told you to do?”

“The things you told me to do? Oh, you mean from your secret letter? There’s no way to find a single one of them, so your orders and ideas are nothing but wasteful. In that case, why do I still have to take action if it’ll only be a waste of my time?” Xiao Qi Feng put down the things in his hand, looked at Xiao Luo Yan and said faintly.

“Xiao Qi Feng, you are courting death.” Xiao Luo Yan was furious. This was ridiculous, if such a person dared to ignore his commands, who else would bother listening to him if this kind of attitude continued?

Xiao Qi Feng sneered: “Let’s talk when you can actually kill me.”

“You...” Xiao Luo Yan surely did not dare to kill Xiao Qi Feng, because this person was still useful to the Lord. Even if he was useless, he still did not dare to do it because the Lord had said that no one was allowed to touch Xiao Qi Feng no matter what. As for the reason, he did not have the courage to ask.

Xiao Qi Feng continued with the things on the table before he took a glimpse: “If you’re here to talk about this, then you may leave now. I’m busy. I have no time to entertain you.”
