nChapter 357: Don’t Hurt My Grandmother

nGu Bailu mentioned Murong Lanyi at this point because she knew that Lady Murong was now dissatisfied with Nan Ningxin.

nWhen someone was dissatisfied, they tended to become suspicious.

nGu Bailu had previously told Lady Murong about Murong Lanyi. While nothing happened afterward, she was sure that Lady Murong remembered their conversation.

nAnd now that Gu Bailu had brought it up again, Lady Murong would recall many other things.

nLady Murong frowned and did recall Gu Bailu’s claim that Nan Ningxin killed Murong Lanyi. She suddenly felt that something wasn’t right.

nFew people in the Murong family knew about the loss of the spirit fruit, and Gu Bailu certainly wasn’t one of them.

nSo, only Lanyi could’ve told her that.

nHowever… could Ningxin really have killed Lanyi?

n“Grandmother, she’s lying. I’ve never seen any spirit fruit. How can I have it?” Nan Ningxin pretended to be bewildered.

nLady Murong was suspicious, but she wouldn’t condemn Nan Ningxin over a few words from Gu Bailu.

nBesides, Gu Bailu had to resent Ningxin at this point, because Prince Zi used to like the latter, and every woman got jealous.

n“Ningxin doesn’t know anything about the spirit fruit, so we can’t offer it to you,” Lady Murong said quickly.

nGu Bailu smiled. “It’s fine if you can’t present it now, but you can give it to me whenever you find it again. It’s really a shame that Nan Ningxin has the box but doesn’t know how to open it.”

nNan Ningxin was enraged. “Don’t insinuate. You only hate me and want to get rid of me because Prince Zi is nice to me…”

nGu Bailu sighed. “You still claim that I’m setting you up when it’s obvious what the truth is. It seems that we still have to clear this up. My lady, we better sort everything out.”

nLady Murong secretly glared at Nan Ningxin, who had increased the burden on the Murong family.

n“I don’t have that much time…” Lady Murong subconsciously refused.

nGu Bailu signaled to Feng Qingtian, who threw a pillar of dazzling light at Lady Murong.

nNeither Lady Murong nor the people from the Murong family saw it coming. Immediately, both Lady Murong and Nan Ningxin were enveloped in the light.

nFeng Qingtian pulled Gu Bailu into the light, which shut out everybody else.

nGu Bailu stood on tiptoe and gave Feng Qingtian a kiss. “Qingqing, nice job.”

nFeng Qingtian snorted. This ungrateful woman only remembered him when she needed him.

nLady Murong said coldly, “Prince Zi, what’s the meaning of this?”

nNan Ningxin stood before her and said, “Just come at me. Don’t hurt my grandmother.”

nGu Bailu laughed. “Miss Nan, stop acting. We have no grudge against Lady Murong, and we wouldn’t hurt her. Do you really think that Lady Murong can’t tell that you’re just acting?”

nLady Murong was already dissatisfied with Nan Ningxin in the first place. At Gu Bailu’s words, she became even more suspicious.

nShe had never thought that Prince Zi would hurt her, but Nan Ningxin seemed eager to point it out.
