There was dim light in the main room.

Old Duke Cui rested his hands on the top of his wenge wood cane, sat on the chair in the middle, and stared at the people who were getting closer and closer.

That was his eldest granddaughter, the eldest princess of noble status.

Originally a supporting force for the Cui family, it has now gradually become a hostile force.

He was in a trance for a while.

Can not go back.

Ever since he followed Cui Yongwei's advice and sent people to the imperial farm, he could not go back.

Regret?

Qin Yaoguang walked towards the old man in the room step by step.

Her hair had been recombed in the carriage long ago, and her bright face looked cold as ice despite her heavy makeup.

Her innate dignity emanates from her every move, bringing an aura and sense of oppression that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

Holding the hem of her skirt embroidered with gold and silver in her bare hands, she stepped over the threshold and stood still in the room.

"Ning Guogong."

A name without any symbols of affection or respect.

Qin Yaoguang was standing and Old Duke Cui was sitting, their eyes met in mid-air and tiny particles of dust were quietly suspended in the beam of light.

"Leyang."

Old Duke Cui’s voice was hoarse, and even though he tried his best to keep his back straight, he was like a piece of rotten wood that was slowly decaying.

There was a faint unpleasant smell coming from him, the smell of old age.

Even though he was a duke, he could not prevent the traces of time.

"Le Yang, do you still remember that when you were little you loved playing in this yard and loved this osmanthus tree the most?"

Old Duke Cui spoke again, his voice carrying the vicissitudes of time.

Qin Yaoguang curled his lips: "Yes, at that time, you were still my grandfather."

At this point, you want to play the family card?

late!

"I am too now!"

Old Duke Cui shouted angrily, holding on to his cane with his right hand, and stood up tremblingly: "You unfilial daughter!"

"First there is unkindness, then there is unfilial piety."

Qin Yaoguang was not moved at all.

Having lived a life in the modern world, she would no longer be swayed by "foolish filial piety".

Parental love is never a one-sided effort.

Since he treats his children as nothing, don't blame him, because in the end he will only reap the backlash.

Qin Yaoguang took out the box that Nanny Zhou handed to her, looked at Old Duke Cui and said, "My mother asked me to give it to you."

An old servant stepped forward, took the box from Qin Yaoguang and presented it to him.

When he saw clearly what was inside, Duke Cui froze all over.

With trembling hands covered with age spots, he picked up a warm and translucent jade hairpin from the box.

Its shape is elegant and unique, like a jade pen that is all emerald green, with a small emerald lotus leaf hanging at the tail, which has a kind of intoxicating beauty.

Old Duke Cui was fascinated by the sight. Through the jade hairpin, he saw the day of his eldest daughter's coming-of-age ceremony many years ago.

This hairpin was chosen by him personally and was given to his daughter for her coming-of-age ceremony.

There is a good daughter in the family, who is smart and intelligent.

At that time, he placed all his hopes for the prosperity of the family on his eldest daughter. In the end, his eldest daughter lived up to his expectations and entered the palace, becoming the empress who ruled the country.

As a result, the Cui family overshadowed the Xie family, and he gained the additional identity of being the emperor's father-in-law.

His fingers trembled, and the emerald lotus leaves and the jade hairpin collided with each other, making a soft "ding" sound, which awakened him from his memories.

Since when did you become hostile to your daughter?

He couldn't remember clearly.

Now, even this jade hairpin has been returned.

The relationship is severed.

His intention to impress Qin Yaoguang with family affection failed. Old Duke Cui moved his lips a few times and asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you want?"

Qin Yaoguang stood straight, looked at the old man who had passed away, and said calmly: "The person you should ask is not me, but yourself."

"Cui Yongwei has done so many bad things that he can't defend himself. When you placed all your hopes on him, did you ever think that this day would come?"

Qin Yaoguang continued to question: "When you sent someone to assassinate me, did you ever feel guilty? When did you ever consider family affection?"

Step by step, she approached him and continued to ask, "You killed your first wife, don't you feel guilty?!"

"I……"

Old Duke Cui was dazed by her questions one after another, and he said, "No, this is not my original intention."

"It's Choi Young-wi!"

"Yes, it was him. He was so greedy that he made such a huge mistake!"

"It has nothing to do with me. I just feel sorry for his mother, so I'm partial to him."

Of course he refused to admit it.

As long as he denies it, it will be Cui Yong's only fault.

Even if he did something wrong, he was just deceived by Cui Yongwei, and all this had nothing to do with him.

Qin Yaoguang lowered her eyes and looked at him, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes: "When the time comes, do you still want to quibble?"

"Duke Ningguo, let me ask you a question."

"Without your tacit consent, how could Cui Yongwei mobilize the Cui family's secret guards, and how could he dare to seek revenge with the King of Ruyang?"

Duke Cui was shocked.

He didn't expect that Qin Yaoguang even knew about their deal with King Ruyang.

His lips trembled a few times, and he denied it flatly: "You...what did you say? What King Ruyang? Don't talk nonsense!"

"You can deny it, but that doesn't mean no one knows."

After the affair of Prince Ruyang was exposed, Old Duke Cui completely lost his energy and collapsed on his chair.

He originally thought that was his last resort.

"It was your ambition that ruined Cui Yongwei. He is just a chess piece and a puppet in your hands!"

Qin Yaoguang said sternly: "You are a cold-blooded and extremely selfish person. Stop pretending to be deeply in love! It's disgusting."

"You don't love anyone, and everyone around you can take advantage of you."

"Stop saying that you are doing this to revive the Cui family. If it was really for the Cui family, would you put the family in such a dangerous situation?"

"You have been holding on to the position of the head of the family and have caused many tragedies. You have also used Cui Yongwei to achieve your own selfish interests. It is only because of his shady identity that he has to rely on you."

"Who are you worthy of in this life?"

Under her questioning, the hope in Old Duke Cui's heart was extinguished bit by bit.

All escape routes are blocked.

I have been unwilling all my life, but I didn't expect that the final outcome would still be unwillingness.

Qin Yaoguang paused and calmed down his excitement: "If you still feel a little guilty, you know what to do."

She turned around and left without any regrets.

Old Duke Cui slumped in his seat, his eyes dull and lifeless.

He lived his whole life, fought with the Xie family his whole life, and struggled his whole life, but in the end, his hopes were cut off by his own eldest granddaughter.

Isn't it a reincarnation?

Qin Yaoguang left the main room, looked up at the distant sky, and slowly let out the anger in his chest.

That’s what happens with the Cui family.

Even if it goes against filial piety, we cannot allow the Cui family to continue to aid the tyrant.

This time, it is also to avenge those innocent people who died.

He came forward and said, "Your Highness, the Princess, is greeted."

Qin Yaoguang nodded at her: "Thank you for your hard work these days."

Thanks to her, we found out that my grandmother died of illness and it was not her wish.
