Lin Nanâs goal had been achieved.
The Phoenix blood incident caused a stir. Everyone knew that I was a monster who had blood that could detoxify all poisons.
I couldnât understand Lin Nanâs intention in publicizing this matter.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
I couldnât care less because Auntie Lan wanted to see me.
Auntie Lan hadnât been in good spirits ever since she woke up. Old Master Jing personally stood by her bed and didnât allow us to disturb her. Only Auntie Bai Rui was allowed to tend to them.
With Mr. Li around, we didnât need to worry about Auntie Lanâs health.
Unexpectedly, after Auntie Lanâs body recovered, the first thing she wanted to do was to see me.
She looked pretty good. I walked to the bedside and held her hand. âAuntie Lan.â
Auntie Lan smiled and looked at me with some greed. âSigh, I was really worried that I wonât be able to see you again.â
She glanced at Old Master Jing, who was sitting at the side reading a book with his reading glasses. âIâm a blessed person. My sons and daughters-in-law are all filial.â
I placed her hand on the side of my face and looked at her with a silly smile.
Old Master Jing took off his reading glasses and said with a gentle smile, âThen you should get well soon. Weâll hold a grand wedding for them!â
Auntie Lan pinched my face. âOkay!â
I held her hand. âYou should get well soon. Youâll be very busy. My little uncle is going to marry Mai Qi. Youâre an elder, so you have to help us hold the ceremony. Thereâs no other candidate. Mai Qiâs father is such a big shot. But thereâs no one in my family. Cousin Mo and I are both juniors. When the time comes, you will have to represent us!â
Auntie Lan laughed. âGirl, you are always busy with these things.â

We chatted for a while, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Suddenly, Auntie Lanâs smile gradually disappeared. âNanxing, youâve met Xiao Zhi, right?â
I nodded slightly. I knew that Auntie Lan was going to talk about serious matters.
âShe and I have some grudges that need to be settled. She came looking for me, but I didnât think sheâd poison me. All of you knew that this was her doing, right?â Auntie Lan asked.
I nodded. âYes, I had my suspicions. At that time, we had all retreated from the island together. It must have been someone on the island who would use a poison like this.â
Auntie Lan sighed softly. âXiao Zhi and I share one life.â
I looked at Auntie Lan in surprise. âWhat does that mean?â
Auntie Lan continued, âWeâre twins. Thereâs an ancient custom where twins are unlucky. One must be sent away. Being sent away is not being sent into foster care. The abandoned one was left to fend for oneself. Xiao Zhi was the one who was sent away.â
This was the first time I had heard of such a cruel custom.
âXiao Zhi was picked up by a foreign couple and adopted. So, she survived. When she was 16, she came back and questioned why my parents abandoned her instead of me,â Auntie Lan stated calmly.
This wasnât like Xiao Zhi but more like Princess Angelâs way of thinking.
âAnd then? Did your parents feel sorry for her? But they had no choice, right? âI asked softly.
Auntie Lan shook her head. âWhen you become a parent one day, youâll know how my parents feel. They did feel sorry for Xiao Zhi, and I had dominated their love for more than a decade, so they made a decision.â
Auntie Lan stopped, and a bad feeling rose in my heart.
