269 Chapter 269: Romantic proposal, exposure 6

Nangong Yurou told Cass Jerne what Di Junlin had told her.

"But how can we leave the Imperial Palace of the Cass Empire now? My cousin and younger brother are bent on bringing me down. They are holding onto the matter of Yueying and they want me to abdicate and bring Yueying to justice.

"I don't care about this throne. As long as anyone has the heart to love the people and knows how to govern the country, I can pass the throne to them. But my cousin and younger brother are not suitable to be the king of a country. I can't give the throne to them."

Cass Jerne said helplessly. If this continued, his cousin Cass Luyuan and younger brother Cass Jenne would revolt sooner or later. He was afraid that the people would cry and suffer.

"But Di Junlin said that if we don't go, we will regret it for the rest of our lives."

Nangong Yurou was very conflicted. At this juncture, they really couldn't leave Cass.

"Didn't he say what it was about?"

"No, he only said that we must go to Country A."

"It's fine if we go for a while. We can also go and see how Yueying is doing."

Cass Jerne said worriedly.

This month, because of the incident with Cass Yueying, Cass Jerne and Nangong Yurou seemed to have aged by a few years. The dark circles around their eyes could be clearly seen.

"There's also Keqin. I wonder if she's better."

Nangong Yurou's heart ached when she mentioned Lan Keqin. She had called Di Junlin many times to ask how she was doing.

However, she couldn't get through. Even if she got through, she would be directly hung up.

"We've let Keqin down. It's because we didn't teach Yueying well that we..."

Nangong Yurou was already feeling extremely sorrowful because of Lan Keqin's injury. However, when she thought about how her own daughter, whom she had raised, had hurt her, her heart ached even more.

Cass Yueying's video also made her feel extremely uncomfortable. In addition to the video that revealed that she had abused a servant, her heart ached so much that she fainted.

"Let's pack up and leave now. As long as we return within three days, Luyuan and Jiefeng shouldn't be able to do anything. If we want to mobilize the soldiers in the palace, we need the Red Spirit Ring," Cass Jerne said.

Nangong Yurou suddenly thought of something. She said nervously, "Speaking of the Red Spirit Ring, I just remembered that you gave it to Keqin as a gift. Do you think Luyuan and Jiefeng would be in endanger her if they knew that the Red Spirit Ring was in her hands?"

"In Country A, with Di Junlin protecting her, she would be fine. If it was in the Cass Empire, Keqin would be able to use the ring to mobilize the soldiers. Even the higher-ups would have to listen to her orders, so nothing would happen to her."

When Cass Jerne gave the Red Spirit Ring to Lan Keqin, he had thought about this problem. Although he gave it to Lan Keqin without hesitation, he had given it to her very carefully.

If she wasn't with Di Junlin, he wouldn't have dared to give it to her. He was afraid of being schemed against and envied.

"I'll go pack my things. We'll set off later."

Nangong Yurou said as she tidied up her clothes.

"Go! I'll go prepare too."

Cass Jerne returned to his chair and put away the confidential documents before walking out of the study.

...

"Grandfather! How's the situation outside?"

Cass Yueying did not dare to go out at all. She had been staying in the Presidential Palace for the past month and did not go out.

She saw Nangong Du enter the bedroom and quickly asked him. She felt that she was almost moldy from staying in the room. She really wanted to go out shopping, play, and eat delicious food.

"It's still not good. There are many reporters waiting for you outside the door. If you go out, you will be discovered inside."

Nangong Du was also anxious. In the past month, no matter how hard he tried to suppress the news, it had just sunk. In less than half a day, the news about Cass Yueying would be on the headlines again.

Moreover, it was getting stronger and stronger each time. He even felt that his strength was lacking.

Di Junlin was too ruthless. He had released so many bad news about Yueying but he had not appeared until now.

"How can this be, Grandfather! Do you think there's a chance to wash away the bad news about me? I want to marry Brother Junlin. If I'm cursed and despised by so many people, he will not marry me even more."

No one knew how much Cass Yueying loved Di Junlin. Even at this point, she still loved him so deeply and even dreamed of marrying him.

"Silly child! Tell me, why are you so stubborn? Everything about you was leaked by him. The reason you ended up like this is all because of him. Why are you still thinking about him, loving him, and even thinking about marrying him?"

Nangong Du really loved and hated Cass Yueying. He liked everything about this granddaughter of his, except that he didn't like her loving Di Junlin. He felt that as long as she met Di Junlin, she would turn into an idiot.

"Grandfather! I know but I still love him. I can't give up on my love for him. Even if I know that these things will be exposed by the media, even if I know that he wants to kill me for that slut, I still love him. I love him to the point of being incurable."

It wasn't that Cass Yueying didn't know that Di Junlin was taking revenge on her for Lan Keqin. He wanted to destroy her bit-by-bit. Destroy her nerves, destroy her love for him, and—even more so—destroy her as a person.

"Child! Wake up. Grandfather's heart aches for you just by looking at you."

Nangong Du's eyes turned red as he spoke. He wasn't a cold-hearted person. He still had strong feelings for his loved ones. When he saw how deeply Cass Yueying had fallen, he felt extremely worried.

"No, Grandfather! I won't be able to wake up. There's no one in this world who can make me act like that towards Junlin. Moreover, I'm only willing to love him."

Cass Yueying wept sorrowfully as she said, "Grandfather! Please help me! I want to find that slut and kill her completely. Only then will Brother Junlin return to my side."

Cass Yueying had really gone crazy. Even at this point, she still wanted to kill Lan Keqin. She thought that as long as she was killed, Di Junlin would return to her side and fall in love with her.

"Grandfather has looked for her as well, but he couldn't find her. Even Di Junlin couldn't find her. It was as if he had vanished from the world. No matter how hard I tried, I can't find him. The Di family is now under the control of old Di. Every day, the Di family is filled with reporters but no one has seen him. Even the people I sent out haven't been able to find him."

Nangong Du was looking for Di Junlin because he wanted him to stop exposing Cass Yueying. He was looking for Lan Keqin because he wanted to imprison her and use her to deal with Di Junlin.

"But don't worry, grandfather will definitely continue to look for them."

Nangong Du said when he saw Cass Yueying's disappointed expression.
