“Young miss, Lan Zhi died. She was killed by An Gong Jing! An Ping is also dead!” Lan Ren appeared in You Nian Pavilion’s courtyard and naturally sat down Lan Qu to report to Lan You Nian.
“Indeed worthy of being one of An family’s people. They have the same vicious character!” Lan You Nian ate the fruit on the table. The beautiful face without the concealment of the veil held no trace of pity. Zhang Lin and the others were standing guard on the walls of the courtyard so Lan You Nian can take off her veil without any worries. It was her original intention for Lan Zhi to die and that young master loved by the An family.
“Hmph! This An family even thinks they can scheme against young miss. It’s good enough that if we don’t make them cry for their father and call for their mother!” Lan Wu gazed at Lan You Nian with worship, her eyes shining with stars. Lan Wu felt that if her family’s young miss were a man, she would definitely climb up young miss’s bed.
“Wipe your drool!” Lan Qu tossed her handkerchief to Lan Wu, said with contempt, but her own starry eyes peered at young miss.
“Oh!” Lan Wu distractedly caught Lan Qu’s handkerchief to wipe her mouth, then roared, “Lan Qu, you’re ying with me!”
“How was I ying with you? You were obviously drooling as you stared at young miss. If I don’t stop you, I think you want to drag young miss off to your bed!” Lan Qu contemted Lan Wu with worry. Their family’s young miss had genius ability and brains and possessed an ethereal beauty. Even other women will be foolish by looking. Fortunately, young miss wasn’t a man, otherwise...
“How do you know what I’m thinking?” Lan Wu jumped up with a gasp, but with this exmation exposed her embarrassing thoughts, “Cough, young miss, I didn’t. I only wanted to climb up your bed. I definitely don’t dare to drag you to bed.”
“Hahahaha...” Lan Quughed so hard she couldn’t breathe. Even the aloof Lan Ren burst into guffaws. Lan You Nian who usually didn’t like tough also followed suit, her eyes overflowing withughter.
Lan Wu waspletely flushed. Seeing everyone unscrupulouslyughing at her, she huffed, “Did I say something wrong! Young miss is too attractive. Can you me me?”
“I’m to me then!” Lan You Nian smiled with a curve to her lips. Lan Wu was too cute.
“Young miss!” Lan Wu cried in embarrassment. Lan You Nian and the others knew not to tease Lan Wu too much. Otherwise, this girl will definitely stay mad at them for several days refusing toe out. Although Lan Wu’s appearance was seductive with a curvaceous figure and had an equally hot temper, on the inside, she was very conservative.
“Alright, we won’t tease you. You go to third brother to tell him to circte the affairs of An manor!” Lan You Nian dropped her smile and gave orders about proper matters. Lan Wu, hearing their family’s young miss was letting her go, ran faster than anybody, for fear that if she stayed, she’d beughed at by Lan Qu.
“Running so fast!” Lan You Nian, seeing Lan Wu even used qinggong, couldn’t helpughing, “Lan Ren, you’vee back for a few days. Lan Feng says Wu Qing Pavilion still has many things left to take care of. You should go back!”
“Yes!” Towards Lan You Nian’s words, Lan Ren was absolutely obedient. Out of all of them, only he was a male so often times Lan Ren took up the duty of an older brother. He naturally took over Wu Qing Pavilion’s affairs, afraid that young miss worked too hard at such a young age.
“Lan Qu, you go with Lan Ren!” Lan You Nian assigned.
Becausetely, she has been staying in the capital, many of Wu Qing Pavilion’s affairs were taken care of by Lan Ren and Lan Feng. Although the other senior brothers helped out, the things they did were different. Outside of Wu Qing Pavilion’s matters, they did what they liked to do. Although Wu Qing Pavilion’s rtively substantial matters required her approval, inparison, Lan Feng and Lan Ren’s pressure was still pretty heavy. Although Lan Qu’s martial arts was average, she was intelligent and can help out a lot.
“Young miss!” Lan Qu suddenly knelt down on the ground, “Now that Lan Ren nor Lan Feng are present by young miss’s side, if I again leave young miss, what happens if there’s danger?” Lan Qu was apprehensive. The capital’s twist and turns were more dangerous than the times young miss wandered around in the past.
“Ai!” Lan You Nian pulled Lan Qu up. How can she not know Lan Qu’s worry? Every time she came out of the Medical Valley, Lan Qu will follow her everywhere to take care of her every need. In this, Lan Qu did very well. Lan You Nian wanted to send her and Lan Ren back to Wu Qing Pavilion, on the one hand, it was because Wu Qing Pavilion’s matters were important, and on the other hand Lan You Nian wished to give the two of them time to cultivate their feelings. If Lan Qu was always with her, based on their dutiful personalities, she didn’t know which year their rtionship will finally see progress.
“You know that recently there are more matters to take care of in Wu Qing Pavilion. I want you to go help take care of it,” Lan You Nian sat Lan Qu down, “Besides, in the next few days, I want to invite Hua Mu Qing and the others to Tian Du Peak’s snowy mountain to y for a few days. Maybe when Ie back, you will also be back? What danger will I be in?”
Lan You Nian did not lie. Since the time Hua Mu Qing said she wanted to go out to y Lan You Nian had this idea. Tian Du Peak was not far. It was just outside the capital. It would be very convenient to y for three to four days thene back. Lately, she’s be very restless from staying in the courtyard. She wanted to go out and have a look around.
“Young miss wants to go out to y? Then I can’t leave! I want to go with young miss. It is freezing on the mountain!” Lan Qu was even more uneasy when she heard this. Her family’s young miss’s body was very frail. Every time the poison awakened, it consumed a month’s nourishment. Due to this, young miss’s body was afraid of the cold. They heard the several young masters say that in the past young miss was buried in the snow for several days, so she was left with a weak physical foundation.
“Even if you stay, I won’t take you. I’m only going out to relieve my boredom. Otherwise, if I stay in the capital all the time, I will go crazy. You don’t need to worry!” Lan You Nian reassured.
“I understand. I will do my best to help Lan Ren and Lan Feng take care of the affairs in the sect ande back early!” Lan Qu knew that if her family’s young miss told her this, then she will definitelymit to it. She can’t help young miss with anything, so it was better for her to return to headquarters to deal with matters as to ease young miss’s burdens.
“Father, An Ping was killed by Lan Zhi and Lan Zhi has died!” Lan Mo Xian informed Lan Jian Jun who was in the military camp dealing with paperwork.
“Dead?” Lan Jian Jun was stunned, but there wasn’t much sadness. In his heart, since eating lunch with Nian’er that day, he had his own spections. What he didn’t expect was that this daughter acted without anyone being aware. He knew this matter cannot depart from any connection with Nian’er.
“Yes, the two of them are dead. Currently, many unfavorable rumors about An manor are circting around in the capital!” Lan Mo Xian added with a trace of joy in his voice. The conflict between their Lan manor and An manor has grown. In the future, only one can live. They must live because they had people they wanted to protect.
“What do the rumors say? With the current power of An manor, the rumors can still circte around? It seems people are controlling the rumors behind this!” Lan Jian Jun analyzed. While An manor can’t cover the entire sky in the capital, they can cover half the sky. It was just a measly rumor that An manor can easily extinguish, but unexpectedly the rumors circted all over the capital by this point. He wasn’t sure if the one controlling the rumors was fourth wangye or Ming wang.
“First it was a doctor who said that when An Ping was alive, he caught the flower disease. It was suppressed by An manor before it exploded. Everywhere in the capital is the rumors of An Ping’s new concubine who killed him after being beat by An Ping. After the rumors have circted a while, a new rumor came out saying the concubine who killed An Ping was Lan Zhi who has been disowned by our Lan manor. Atst, this morning rumors circted of An manor killing Lan Zhi. In the capital, everyone is talking about An manor. It seems An manor will have many troubles!” Lan Mo Xian reported the rumors of thesest few days to his father.
“One rumor following another, everyone’s eyes are cast on An manor. Finally, the rumor that An manor killed Lan Zhi circted around. Whether people believe or don’t believe in the rumors, they will condemn An manor. The one behind this isn’t an amateur!” Lan Mo Xian praised with admiration. Such a rumor is rich in subterfuge.
“Yeah, An manor probably won’t be peaceful in the next few days. Although we can’t do anything to An manor, we can at least deal them a headache of problems!” Lan Mo Xian was itching with hate towards An manor’s evil scheme at An manor’s banquet. Thinking back, he felt afraid of what could have happened.
“Mo Xian, who do you think is behind this rumor?” Lan Jian Jun asked.
“The only one who can control the rumors so well is most likely Ming wang. Ming wang is not only unrivaled in schemes, and no one canpare in ability. He is an excellent master!” Lan Mo Xian analyzed.
“En, this is most likely done by Ming wang. This rumor kept our Lan manorpletely clean. Although Ming wang doesn’t bat an eysh when killing people, he isn’t that kind of low-life. It can be seen from him takingmand all these years on the battlefield that he is a rarely seen God of War!” Lan Jian Jun was full of praise when speaking of Feng Yi Xuan.
“Mother, second sister...” Lan Ya stepped into An yiniang’s courtyard, took a look at An yiniang who was tired out from kneeling thest few days, and was about to inform her of the rumors outside, no, the truth.
“Don’t mention her. So bothersome!” An yiniang took the bird’s nest soup brought in by Qiu’er to nourish her depleted body.
“Mother, second sister died!” Lan Ya sniffed with red eyes. Although she looked down on this second sister who became a concubine, in the end, the two of them have had a sisterly rtionship for many years, so now that Lan Zhi suddenly passed away, Lan Ya still cried for her.
“What?” The bird’s nest soup in An yiniang’s hands spilled all over the bed, but An yiniang’s attention was fixated on Lan Ya, “Say that again! What happened to Zhi’er?”
“Mother, second sister passed away! Wuwu...!” Lan Ya hugged An yiniang as she wept.
“That can’t be. Zhi’er still looked well a few days ago. How could she die!” An yiniang cried with Lan Ya.
“Mother, second sister is killed by uncle. Cousin-brother is dead too. He was killed by second sister. Mother!” Lan Ya reported all the news she found out to An yiniang as she cried.
“Howe? How is it like this?” An yiniang was frightened. If her second daughter killed Ping’er, then in the future how will father look at her? Will An manor still help her? If she lost An manor’s support, will master not want her? Everything will be gone! How can it be like this? Yes! It’s Lan You Nian. It’s all because of that slut that her Zhi’er suffered as she died. It’s all that slut’s fault that she became like this!
“This is all because of Lan You Nian that slut! Ya’er, this is all because of Lan You Nian that slut!” An yiniang looked at Lan Ya as she swore.
“Mother!”
“It’s all because of her. She stole away master’s love for you. She let Zhi’er fall into a trap and killed her. She stole your glory. It’s all because of her!” An yiniang pushed all the me onto Lan You Nian.
“Yes, all her fault! Mother, Lan manor’s legitimate daughter should be me. It should be me!” Lan Ya hated that Lan You Nian stole away her identity of the legitimate daughter, “Mother, what should we do?”
“Kill her!”
“Kill her?”
“Yes! Must kill her!”
