Feng Tianlan heard the displeasure in his son’s tone and felt guilty in his eyes. “I’m sorry, Xiaonan. I only confirmed this today, and I was planning to tell you tonight. I didn’t expect someone to insult you and your mother, so 1 spoke out first.”
Xiaonan pouted his lips, even though his eyes were brighter than usual. He replied, “Hmph, 1 could handle it even if you didn’t say it. She’s just a crazy woman, and 1 don’t care about her!”
Seeing his son’s proud expression, Feng Tianlan’s heart melted like cotton candy. “Well, I know you and your mother are both capable. I just couldn’t bear to hear others insult you.”
Xiaonan’s lips formed a subtle smile, but he didn’t want to make it too obvious, in case a particular man got too conceited. He forced his lips down and said, “Alright, 1 won’t argue with you this time.”
Feng Tianlan chuckled.
On the other side, Consort Shu was in disbelief.
“Huh, do you think you can simply bring someone here to play-act? Can a man as ugly as this really be the father of such a handsome son? You couldn’t even come up with a more convincing lie!”
She sneered, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked Feng Tianlan up and down. “Gu Qingluan, are you betraying my son for a man like this? This kind of man isn’t even worthy to polish my son’s shoes!”
“Wow!”
Those who knew Feng Tianlan’s prestigious status were shocked to hear Consort Shu belittle him like this, taking in sharp breaths.
They had seen foolishness, but not this level of foolishness!
Ever since Young Master Lan arrived in Tianjing, the Emperor has shown him great respect, and it was the Crown Prince who consistently welcomed and hosted him.
Consort Shu may reside in the imperial harem, but shouldn’t she have some knowledge of matters concerning the outside world? She didn’t even recognize Young Master Lan?
No wonder she resorted to such despicable means to frame the Guardian Princess. She won’t have an easy time today.
Another portion of the crowd, even if they don’t know Feng Tianlan’s ident.i.ty, can’t agree with Consort Shu’s words.
“Didn’t she see the appearance of the Guardian Princess’s fiance when he removed his mask just now? It’s not an exaggeration to say he’s a heavenly figure. How can he be compared to the Fifth Prince? When the two of them stand together, it’s the Fifth Prince who looks embarra.s.singly ugly, right?”
“What a foolish woman!”
Gu Xiaonan leaned against Feng Tianlan’s chest, glaring angrily at Consort Shu. “The ugly Fifth Prince isn’t even fit to lick my father’s shoes! Hmph, where do you get the confidence to think your son is so great? He’s so ugly that his appearance poisons everyone’s eyes and pollutes the air around him. But now I understand where the Fifth Prince’s arrogance comes from; it turns out it’s inherited from you!”
Hmph, he can scold his father all he wants, but no one else can!
Feng Tianlan lowered his head, and waves of emotion welled up in his narrow, long eyes.
Unexpectedly, Xiaonan was defending him!
Has Xiaonan forgiven him?
A smile involuntarily crept up on the corners of his mouth.
Conversely, Consort Shu’s mood was completely opposite.
She was almost driven insane by Gu Xiaonan’s words!
“Shut up, shut up! You’re not allowed to insult my son! I’ll tear your mouth apart!” She rushed toward Gu Xiaonan as if she had gone mad.
This time, Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan didn’t need to intervene. The guards quickly subdued her.
Gu Qingluan looked at her as if she were a dead person. “Consort Shu, no, I should call you Concubine that got exiled now. There’s one thing I need to clarify. I can be together with the child’s father thanks to Qi Tianyu. If it weren’t for him and Gu Lingxue joining forces to try to ruin my innocence, 1 wouldn’t have unexpectedly met the child’s father and formed a happy relationship.”
She smiled at the other party, her eyes full of irony.
“So, there has never been any so-called betrayal. At least, five years ago, I never betrayed him! On the contrary, he, finding me ‘useless,’ unwilling to bear the bad reputation of abandoning his fiancee, used such despicable means to harm me. In terms of betrayal, he is the one who should bear that t.i.tle!”
Consort Shu naturally knew the truth but couldn’t make others believe it. She immediately shouted hysterically, “You’re talking nonsense! You’re slandering Yu’er! Even now that he’s dead, you can say just make things up about him!”
Gu Qingluan sneered, “Compared to the Fifth Prince, who can forcibly take commoner women, deceive the daughters of n.o.ble families, imprison them in the prince’s residence to practice dark arts, and even plot rebellion, my actions are hardly worth mentioning. Why should I slander him?”
“Nonsense! You’re now pouring all kinds of dirty water on him! Do you think that just by your few words, everyone will believe you?”
“We believe!”
Countless people shouted loudly..
