The car that picked her up stopped at the castle gate.

Ruan Tianling watched her get into the car, and only when the castle gate closed did he lead his men to retreat.

The car took Jian Yufei to Nangong Wenxiang’s castle.

Butler Hardy greeted her at the door, personally opening the car door for her: "Miss Jian, welcome."

A few months ago, Jian Yufei shot Nangong Xu and was subsequently expelled from the Nangong Family.

Today, she did not come here as Nangong Yufei.

She came as Jian Yufei.

To put it plainly, she was nothing more than a guest.

Jian Yufei politely greeted Butler Hardy: "Butler Hardy, long time no see."

"Long time no see. Miss Jian, please come in, the madam is waiting for you inside."

"Thank you."

As Jian Yufei stepped into the living room, Nangong Ruyue came up to her.

"Yufei."

"Mom!" Jian Yufei said delightedly as she stepped forward, holding her mother’s hand, asking with concern, "Mom, how have you been?"

Nangong Ruyue’s belly was very large. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

She was thin, which made her belly appear even larger.

Supporting her belly, she smiled and said, "I’m doing well, how about you?"

"I’m fine too."

Nangong Ruyue led her upstairs, "Come with me, let’s talk upstairs."

Jian Yufei understood there were many things not suitable to be said in front of others.

Once inside Nangong Ruyue’s temporary room, with the door closed, the mother and daughter suddenly had endless things to talk about.

"Mom, since you shielded Dad, is anyone in the family giving you a hard time?" Jian Yufei asked with concern.

Nangong Ruyue leaned against the sofa, smiling softly: "Even if they are dissatisfied, they don’t dare to do anything to me. Don’t worry, I can handle it."

Jian Yufei looked at her belly, sighing: "It’s already been six months, right?"

"Yes. Your dad and I both agreed to have him."

Jian Yufei didn’t have any objections to this, "As long as you both decided, I trust your choice."

"Mom, has Nangong Xu not woken up yet?"

"I doubt he’ll ever wake up. There’s no sign of him waking up at all, and honestly, I hope he never does."

Jian Yufei hoped so too.

Nangong Xu was their most formidable enemy, someone they had never been able to deal with.

Now that something finally happened to him, they could breathe a sigh of relief.

It was her father who was still nowhere to be found...

"Mom, is there really no clue about Dad’s whereabouts?"

Nangong Ruyue’s eyes dimmed: "That night, another person went out with him, and they found that person’s body, but no trace of your dad."

"I learned about this just yesterday."

"I’ve always suspected that Butler Hardy might have leaked information, but I have no evidence, and he’s not someone I can easily touch."

Jian Yufei frowned: "But he’s just a butler."

"He’s a butler. But he’s been with your grandfather for decades, he knows a lot, and if you push him too hard, he might choose to destroy everything. What’s more, your grandfather can’t do anything now, and whether Hardy has control over him, I don’t know."

Could that always humble and respectful butler really be a bad person?

Jian Yufei realized that everyone in this castle was not simple.

It should be said that anyone with insight and a bit of ability is not simple.

"If it’s him, how do we force him to tell us Dad’s whereabouts?" Jian Yufei asked in a low voice.

Nangong Ruyue hesitated for a moment, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.

"Your grandfather has a group of men under him, but I don’t know if they are still loyal."
