"Why?" Jian Yufei asked suspiciously.

Mi Sha replied, "As long as she’s in the castle, no one dares to touch her."

"But my mother has been expelled from the family..."

"She has been expelled, but the child in her womb hasn’t. If something happened to her inside, when Nangong Xu wakes up, the first thing he’ll do is start a massacre. And the ones he’ll kill will all be Nangongs."

"Isn’t it forbidden to harm one’s own family?"

Mi Sha laughed, "You’re too naive. It’s just a rule; do you really think it can restrain Nangong Xu? Rules are made for those below, not for the rulers."

Jian Yufei remained silent—

Indeed, with Nangong Xu’s immense power, who would dare to truly oppose him if he killed someone?

Besides, he has plenty of ways to kill someone without anyone knowing.

Jian Yufei said, "Even so, no one knows when Nangong Xu will wake up. They might take the risk to kill Nangong Xu’s child first, and then find a way to kill Nangong Xu." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"That’s also possible, but the person would have to inherit the family and control everything first. Even though Nangong Xu is unconscious, his influence remains. People under him will only follow him to avoid being completely wiped out. They’re not fools. They’ll surely unite and continue to support Nangong Xu. If he doesn’t wake up, the Nangong Family might still belong to them."

Jian Yufei realized that things were becoming increasingly complex, not as simple as she had thought.

Ruan Tianling frowned—

Mi Sha noticed their thoughts and smirked, "You probably didn’t expect the internal affairs of the Nangong Family to be so complicated, did you? You underestimated the Nangong Family. It has a 150-year history. Over such a long time, a vast network of relationships has formed. It’s like a millennium-old tree; the roots are intertwined and even entangled with the roots of other trees. No one can easily control this family, and of course, no one can easily get rid of them either."

Ruan Tianling’s mind was more agile.

He smirked slightly, "The complex internal relations of the Nangong Family have nothing to do with us. We just want to rescue my mother-in-law."

"But the problem is, there’s absolutely no way to save her."

"If there’s no way, then we’ll find a way. If there are no conditions, we’ll create our own conditions."

Mi Sha smiled, "You’re right. Right now, I can’t help you, but if you’re willing to wait, you can wait another month."

Jian Yufei asked, "After a month, you’ll have a way to help us?"

"Probably."

"Why wait a month after?"

"Because the time isn’t ripe yet."

Jian Yufei grew more curious, "What exactly are you doing?"

"I told you, it’s a secret. Anyway, that’s all I can tell you. Madam isn’t in danger at the moment, so I advise you to wait for me for another month."

Jian Yufei shook her head, "I can’t wait. We’ll keep looking for a way. If we find a good plan, we’ll take action. Waiting like this, nobody knows what might happen."

"Very well, continue figuring it out. If you need my help, come find me. I have things to do, so I’ll leave now." Mi Sha got up and left.

Only Jian Yufei and Ruan Tianling were left in the room.

The two stared at each other—

Jian Yufei smiled bitterly, "Is there really no way?"
