"He made a throat-slitting gesture toward his maternal grandfather."
Luo Shunchen, thinking of Marquis Wande's arrogant demeanor, felt an irresistible urge to draw his sword and split that rampant old man in two that very moment!
Others only saw the glory of the Protectorate General Mansion but failed to see the hardships behind it.
Old General Xu Ziming's heart had turned to ash when his legitimate direct son and wife were executed years ago, and he had wanted nothing more than to leave the imperial court.
However, seeing the young Luo Shunchen in his arms, he had to swallow the humiliation and continue to lead the fifty-thousand-strong army on behalf of Emperor Xuan.
He had done this so that Luo Shunchen could have a place in this world, and so that his daughter in the palace, Xu Bing, would not be trampled upon!
Ji Ruyan blinked her large eyes upon hearing this, surprised she had not noticed someone making such a gesture at her maternal grandfather.
Damnit!
