Chapter 1639: The Mastermind Behind The Scenes“Yes, you are my grandmother.” Nangong Yu suddenly burst out into laughter. His laughter was hoarse and strained, as if filled with immense regret, “It is precisely because you’re my only grandmother that I trusted you. But it was my foolish trust that put Xi Yue in danger. Hahaha… It’s me, I’m the one who harmed her!”
Hearing Nangong Yu’s laughter, both the woman in white and Old Lady Nangong felt a chill as if the temperature around them had begun to drop.
Just at this moment, Qing Long, Bai Hu, Qing Luan, Xuan Wu, Wu Xin, Wu Yu, Wu Nian, and Wu Gou had arrived. Gu Liufeng, Ouyang Haoxuan, Xi Jia, and others also arrived.

Qing Luan pointed at Old Lady Nangong and said with hatred, “It was you! You were the only one who went into the bridal chamber. Who else could have kidnapped Miss if not you? I only regret why I didn’t stop you from entering at that time, causing harm to Miss. *Sob*“
Before Old Lady Nangong could speak, Xuan Wu suddenly stepped forward and said, “Master, I have just received the investigation results from An Lin from the Miracle Healer Academy. It has been confirmed that Old Lady Nangong was indeed one of the masterminds who set up a trap to frame the queen that day. Moreover, she used her authority over the investigation to cover up for Yun Jingxue, who was also a co-conspirator.”
Back when Xuan Wu conducted the investigation at the Miracle Healer Academy, he noticed traces of Yun Jingxue’s involvement in the conspiracy, but Old Lady Nangong covered it up.
Therefore, after Xuan Wu returned, he still left members of the Iron Kirin [An Lin] to continue the investigation. Initially, he just wanted to confirm that Old Lady Nangong was protecting Yun Jingxue. However, to his surprise, the investigation eventually revealed that Old Lady Nangong was the real mastermind behind the scenes, and even Mammy Qi was a confidant who acted under her orders.
Xuan Wu’s sharp eyes swept over Old Lady Nangong and the woman in white next to her, “Moreover, An Lin also found out that Old Lady Nangong has long been in contact with Thousand Poison Valley Master Lou Wushuang. The Nangong Family has been taking orders from the Lou Family. In the beginning, it was Old Lady Nangong who bridged the connection. There is another thing that my subordinates suspected but have not confirmed yet!”
“On the day the Master’s mother fell victim to the voodoo poison, she had met quite a few people from the Nangong Family. But, from what I know, the only person who had the trust of our Master’s mother, as well as the opportunity to commit the deed, was none other than the elderly Lady Nangong herself.”
“If it hadn’t been for the investigation into the queen’s case, which brought out the connection between Old Lady Nangong and Lou Wushuang, I would have never imagined that the seemingly kindest elder of the Nangong Family is actually the most sinister and vicious person.”

But it turns out, the only person I trusted was the real mastermind behind the ruin of my household and the loss of my loved ones.”
Had Nangong Yu not placed complete trust in Old Lady Nangong, Xuan Wu wouldn’t have held onto his suspicions in silence, choosing instead to wait until he had gathered enough evidence before speaking out.
If Nangong Yu hadn’t taken it lightly, if it weren’t for his overconfidence in his ability to protect Xi Yue, Xi Yue wouldn’t now be in a situation where her life or death remained uncertain.
Nangong Yu’s face gradually turned deathly pale, feeling a sharp, heart-wrenching pain in his chest. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and violently spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Master—!!” Qing Long and others rushed over to help him in panic.
