Evil Emperor's Wild Consort - chapter-562

“What did you say?”

Murong Yan stumbled back and her face drained of color as she shook her
head, “Impossible, Lady Gu will definitely be able to save him!”

“My good Little Sister, since I’ve come to see you today, you should
already know that the poison in Grandfather’s system is behaving as
planned! You had personally administered the poison, did you really think
that I wouldn’t know about it? That friend of yours has harmed
Grandfather on purpose. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have mentioned the five
day time period! The most laughable thing was that you have let someone
else use you like a complete fool. Now, the only person who can save
Grandfather is me. You’d better think this through thoroughly; will you
place your trust in a stranger or save your Grandfather, the person whom
you’ve loved so much since childhood!” Murong Rou’er smiled and her eyes
were filled with an icy chill.

“Murong Rou’er, he’s your Grandfather too!” Murong Yan bellowed angrily
and clenched her fists so hard that they started trembling.

Her eyes were filled with hopelessness.

My half-sister whom I’ve trusted in for so many years would actually do
such a thing!

How can I not feel so bitterly disappointed?

“Grandfather?”

Murong Rou’er laughed. She narrowed her eyes which flickered with a cold
light, “If he really was my grandfather, why had he treated me so
unfairly? What right did he have to favor you over me? Could it be that
I’m not really his granddaughter? If he truly loved me, he should have
thrown a fool like you out of the family so that your presence would
never insult my vision! Someone as idiotic as you do not have the right
to carry the Murong family name!”

“Murong Rou’er!” Murong Yan dearly wished that she could punch Murong
Rou’er’s face. However, she did not act, “What do you want?”

“Do as I say and I will get rid of Grandfather’s poison.”

Murong Rou’er laughed softly, “Even if Grandfather wakes up and chooses
to shield you, you will still be punished for murder. No elder in our
family will spare you!”

Murong Yan took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes. Her shoulders
were trembling.

After a long pause, she gritted her teeth and replied, “Alright, I
promise you. Murong Rou’er, you’d better stick to your end of the
bargain!”

“Don’t worry, as long as you die and plant the blame on your two friends,
I’ll spare him.”

Murong Rou’er herself did not think that Murong Yan would agree to such a
thing and had been anxious throughout their confrontation.

I reckon that in this entire world, only this idiot would sacrifice her
own life for another.

…

In the courtyard, under the bright splendor of sunlight.

A team of guards surrounded the entire courtyard, leaving no crack
unattended.

At the foremost of the group were a few old men. One of them was someone
very familiar to Gu Ruoyun, Elder Er! He might be the second-in-command
amongst the elders but the first-in-command was currently away from the
household. So, naturally, he would be the decision-maker.

“Lu Shaochen, move out of the way!”

Elder Er frowned as he spoke coldly to Lu Shaochen who stood in their way.

“Apologies, Elders. If you wish to see the Master, you’ll have to come
again tomorrow!” Lu Shaochen glanced at the closed bedroom door and stood
determinedly in front of it, refusing to move a single step away!

Elder Er scoffed coldly, “Lu Shaochen, don’t think that you can do as you
please just because you’re a disciple of the Snow Order! This is the
Murong family home! No one can help you now. Get out of the way if you
know what’s good for you!”

“I said no!”

Lu Shaochen laughed icily and remained standing in front of the door, not
moving a single inch.

Boom!

Suddenly, the energy from within each and every elder began to stir. They
aimed it all towards Lu Shaochen, fully intending to crush him.
