"What!?"
A shocking secret spilled, causing everyone to gasp in disbelief. Who would have thought that Xiang Ange, the legitimate eldest son, would marry into the Yun Clan? This unexpected turn of events left the front courtyard so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and the faces of everyone at the Cloud Council were black with displeasure.
"Absurd!" Councilor Yun Tong burst out in the silence, "If this is true, why has Chaochang never heard of it over these years? Is it a marriage or entering into a marriage, how can you assert it without proof?"
"Is Elder Nong present!?"
As if Xiang Loulan had been waiting for Yun Tong to ask, she raised her voice and inquired.
"Alas."
A weary sigh came from the crowd, and people instinctively made way for Elder Nong, who walked to the middle of the courtyard and greeted everyone with a bow.
Facing the respected descendant of the former king, the distinguished Elder Nong, everyone naturally showed their respect and returned the greeting.
