833 Yan Xiaosi’s Winning Life
The elders of the Lan family could not even kneel anymore. They knelt on the ground in unison and tapped their foreheads piously, as if this was the only way to express their admiration for the Saintess.
Yu Wan was dazzled by the colorful Saintess Stone and did not notice that the situation had already lost control.
She knew it. She was so powerful, so why wasn’t she the Saintess? She was so stupid, really, so stupid! Why didn’t she think that her blood was the most noble saintess’ blood from the beginning?
Yu Wan puffed up her chest. “After all, I’m so powerful, right?”
The corners of Shadow Six’s mouth twitched. He couldn’t bear to look anymore. Are you sure it’s because you’re powerful and not because of anything else? I clearly remember that the first time you touched the Saintess Stone, the Saintess Stone did not react at all…
Shadow Six naturally could not guess that it was Yan Xiaosi. He did not know that Yu Wan’s fetus had moved, but Yan Jiuchao, who was at the side, took in Yu Wan’s movements. The fetus was young and had just turned four months old. At this moment, other than the mother, no one else could sense the fetal movement. However, he sensed it.
His heaven-defying hearing caught the slight movement like a goose feather floating past. He narrowed his eyes and looked meaningfully at Yu Wan’s stomach.
“Orange, orange, orange!”
“Green, green, green!”
“Purple, purple, purple!”
The colorful Saintess Stone kept changing color under Yu Wan’s orders, making Yu Wan’s heart melt. Just as Yu Wan was ying happily, she heard a hoarse sound. All the Saintess Stones were extinguished!
Yu Wan blinked innocently. Uh? What’s going on?
“…”
Yan Xiaosi was asleep…
Yu Wan looked at her chubby hands. Did her bloodline power still work from time to time?
“Ahem!” Yu Wan cleared her throat and cleverly tried to smooth things over for herself. “Alright, since you’ve all seen it, I’m indeed the Saintess!”
Lan Jiao did not know whether to admit or deny it.
This was because if she exposed Yu Wan’s identity as a direct descendant of the Lan family, her and her daughter’s status would be lost. However, if she didn’t expose her, this girl could say it herself. Wouldn’t she be able to say whatever she wanted?
From this girl’s expression just now, this girl did not even know that she was actually a Saintess, and such a powerful Saintess. The reason why she pretended to be Lan Ji was none other than that she was inferior to Lan Ji. Now that she had shown such a powerful bloodline, the elders of the Lan family would believe anything she said.
Then… was she still willing to lower herself and pretend to be her daughter?
Yu Wan had also considered what Lan Jiao had considered. Since she was stronger than Lan Ji, she could cause trouble in the Lan Family without using Lan Ji’s identity!
Yu Wan covered the corners of her lips with her folding fan and asked her husband softly, “Should I reveal my true identity now and tell them that I’m the Saintess of Grand-aunt’s lineage?”
Yan Jiuchao said indifferently, “There’s no need.”
“Why?” Yu Wan was puzzled.
Because you’re not the Saintess at all…
Yan Jiuchao nced at her stomach and whispered, “Isn’t it better to use Lan Ji’s face to do bad things?”
That’s right! Now that she had Lan Ji’s face, whatever she did would be med on Lan Ji in the future! As for helping Lan Ji’s family make themselves proud, that was impossible. She guaranteed that she would cause them more trouble than make them proud.
With this thought in mind, Fatty Wan smiled maliciously.
Looking at Yu Wan’s smile, Lan Jiao’s heart skipped a beat and she instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Yu Wan walked over with a smile.
Looking at Yu Wan walking towards her, the ominous feeling in Lan Jiao’s heart became even stronger. Could it be that this girl was going to reveal her identity?
Yu Wan came to Lan Jiao’s side and reached out to hold her arm. She said affectionately, “Mother, I’ve already proved myself just now. I’m the Saintess of the Lan family, your biological daughter, Lan Ji.”
The elders had never experienced such a bizarre thing. Yu Wan’s situation hadpletely subverted their understanding. Therefore, even though it was written in the books, they did not dare to believe itpletely.
It seemed that the predecessors had also summarized the pattern ording to their own observations, but there were always exceptions to everything. They could not deny its existence just because they had never seen it with their predecessors. Otherwise, how were they different from frogs in a well?
Moreover, if this person was indeed not Lan Ji, but another saintess, her bloodline power was far above Lan Ji’s. There was no need to pretend to be Lan Ji at all.
After all, the Nether Capital respected strength. If she was strong, she had a reason! After weighing the pros and cons, everyone chose to believe Yu Wan.
The elder who spoke first walked out. His name was Lan Feng, and he was a very respected elder of the Lan family. He said, “Master, this is your fault. Who did you hear your nder from to actually be suspicious of your own daughter?”
“I…” Lan Jiao couldn’t argue.
Elder Lan Feng waved his hand and interrupted her. “Forget it. After interacting with you for so long, I also understand that you’re not the kind of person who would turn against your daughter. You said just now that as long as she can prove that she’s Lan Ji, you will immediately pass the position of the family head to her.”
Pass the position of the family head to this brat? How was that possible?! However, there was no way to take back what she had said!
Lan Jiao gritted her teeth.
Yu Wan said considerately, “Mother, are you unwilling to pass the position of the head of the family to me? Then forget it. You and I are mother and daughter. It doesn’t matter who bes the head of the family. I won’t mind.”
Another elder called Lan Yang said, “That’s right, Master. You’re biological mother and daughter. Isn’t it the same who bes the Master? The Saintess is so filial. Are you still worried that she’ll let you suffer after she bes the family head?”
Didn’t she want her to suffer?
This girl was the ws of Madam Lan. If she passed the position of the family head to her, who knew what tricks would happen! If possible, she really wanted to tear off this girl’s disguise!
Unfortunately, just like back then, when she was carrying the swaddling saintess and framing the direct descendants of Madam Lan, no one believed Lan Qin and her group. Now that this girl was “framing” her, no one believed her.
The Lan family would always believe in the Saintess.
The elders looked at Lan Jiao covetously.
The Lan family valued bloodline very much. It could be seen from the fact that the Saintess did not leave the Lan family when she got married. It was true that the Saintess was a member of the Lan family, but she was above all the Lan family. Even her biological mother could not be disrespectful to the Saintess.
This was also why the Saintess did not treat Lan Jiao as respectfully as one would treat their mothers.
Lan Jiao knew that she could not avoid this disaster, so she could only hand over the position of the family head with a pained heart. “…From today onwards, the position of the family head will belong to the Saintess.”
Yu Wan said softly, “Thank you, Mother. However, although I’ve be the Saintess, I won’t force you to move out of the courtyard.”
Lan Jiao was so angry that her mrs itched. “…What are you talking about? I’m no longer the family head, so how can I continue to live in the family head’s courtyard? I… I’ll move tonight!”
Yu Wan said seriously, “Mother, you can keep the keys to the treasury too.”
...
“The treasury belongs to the family head, so it naturally belongs to you.” Lan Jiao didn’t know why she hadn’t fainted yet. Where did this brate from? She was really infuriating!
“Since you dote on me so much, I definitely won’t disrespect you,” Yu Wan said. She looked at the elders and sighed. “Today is the day I take over the position of the family head. I don’t know how to celebrate.”
Shadow Six took advantage of the opportunity and said, “I heard that in the Central ins, the new owner will grant amnesty to the world when he ascends the throne. Why don’t you grant amnesty to the Lan family too?”
Compared to the ruler of a country, it was really shameless to boast. However, the holy and powerful people of the Nether Capital really did not take the Emperor of the Central ins seriously, so no one felt that there was anything wrong with this suggestion.
This time, Yu Wan did not ask for Lan Jiao’s opinion. She looked at the elders and said, “Do the elders have any objections?”
“No, no!” Everyone, who had long been frightened by the seven-colored saintess, shook their heads like rattle-drums!
Yu Wan smiled and said, “Then pardon the Lan family and release all the sinners imprisoned in the Lan family’s prison.”
Among the “sinners” imprisoned in the Lan family’s prison, two were Yu Wan’s uncles.
Back then, Lan Jiao had given birth to the Saintess. The mother had relied on her daughter to rise up the ranks and be a figure that received a lot of attention in the Lan family. However, the Saintess was still young. She would have to wait until after the wedding to really take over the Lan family. Lan Jiao could not wait that long, so she schemed to poison the Saintess’ wet nurse and bribed the maidservant beside Madam Lan, ndering that the culprit was Madam Lan.
Madam Lan’s sons felt indignant for their mother. Lan Jiao took advantage of the chaos and hugged the Saintess to fall to the ground. She used her body to protect the Saintess, pretending that they wanted to kill her.
When the two of them saw that they could not clear their name, they simply took the me for Madam Lan’s “crime” and said that they had bribed the maidservant and had nothing to do with Madam Lan.
...
Madam Lan did not teach their sons well and was deposed as the head of the family. Her two sons were imprisoned.
All these years, the reason why Lan Jiao did not kill her two nephews was because they were the most powerful chips to threaten Madam Lan. If they were gone, then what could she use to restrain Madam Lan?!
Lan Jiao was trembling with anger, but she could not stop Yu Wan at all.
However, she would be too naive if she thought that Yu Wan had only done these few harmful things.
