First was the fact that her precious granddaughter was able to demonstrate a power at the monarch levelâ¦.
It must be mentioned that their Liu Huo kingdom only has a king rank master as its strongest protector. So, for the girl to reach a level superior to that in a few short years, how can she not be frightened with shock?
Then behold, before her heart could come to terms with the explosive news, Di Cangâs tyrannical aura takes another wack at her already dissipating soul.
All in all, Old Madam Lan can be said to have received over four major blows to her frail heart. First was Mu Qing Song barging into their home and revealing her identity. Second was Bai Yan showcasing her extraordinary powers. Then thirdly was Di Cangâs near suffocating aura of oppressive might. Now, last but not least, sheâs watching her granddaughter getting so intimate with a man in front of her eyes. If thatâs not enough to make the old grandmother go limp in her legs then what else can she do?

âI will be away for a few day,â Di Cang didnât pay any heed to the departing members of the Lan family. Using an almost growling voice, âIf you need something, have my people inform me.â
Taken aback by the news, Bai Yan subconsciously asked: âWhen will you return?â
Only after saying this did she regret her own folly.
What am I talking about? Why would I care about when heâs coming back like a little wife?
Seeing the embarrassed look on the woman, Di Cangâs lip quickly curved into a smirk: âI need to find a person. If I donât find her, I speculate she would be sold as a slave and still help her slaver count the money.â
Bai Yan did not say anything, but the thin line making up her tightened lips easily gave away her true feelings.
âYou are not going to ask me who that person is?â His voice getting deeper like he demands it.
âAnd what does that have to do with me?â Bai Yan hurriedly swings her head around, obviously disgruntled by the fact.
Acting as if he didnât hear that, Di Cang continues without her permission: âIâm going to look for Xiachenâs little auntie.â
Xiachenâs little auntie?
Then that means the girl is his sister?
Startled by the information, Bai Yan swiftly comes back around and asked with sincerity: âDo you need my help to look?â
âNo need,â maybe its due to her increase interest, Di Cangâs mood was very pleased by it, âI have my ways to locate her.â
Alerted by their conversation, Bai Xiachen quickly toddled over to ask with his big innocent eyes: âIs it true, that I got a new auntie? Will she like me like Uncle does?â
âShe wouldnât dare.â Di Cang sounded very confident in his statement, âIf she dares to not like you, I will rope her up and start hitting her hind while she dangles there.â
â¦â¦
Not far away inside a certain valley, a young maiden was currently having a huge sneezing fit. Rubbing her nose, she got the aching suspicion that someone was talking behind her back.
âItâs all State Teacherâs fault for not telling me where my brother is. Now I got to go around looking for them,â puffing up her cheeks, that pinkish hue was truly adorable, âI wonder if my brother has managed to woo my sister-in-law over yet.â
The more the young maiden thought about it, the grumpier the girl became. Using the stick she found, she begins stabbing the poor fishies in the pond to vent her steam while imagining the State Teacherâs handsome face.
â¦â¦
Inside the courtyard of the Lan familyâs estate, Di Cang was in the middle of giving Bai Yan a tender kiss while embracing the woman of his life.
âI will be back soon so be good while Iâm away.â Having said this, he finally released the woman and gave his son a quick scruffle on the head before taking his leave.
âMother, did you really want to leave with me just now?â Watching the departing back of his father, Bai Xiachen innocently asked his mother here.
Going stiff in the body, Bai Yan could only exhale a sigh: âThis isnât your fatherâs fault, heâs also innocent so I never blamed him for itâ¦â
âThen why did you say that then?â Scratching his cute little head, Bai Xiachen became perplexed by the contradiction.
âTruth is, I only wanted to see what sort of attitude he would makeâ¦.â
âThen how did baddie father do?â Na?ve in his gaze, Bai Xiachen had placed his mother on the spotlight by doing this.
âHe did quite well,â her smile genuinely happy.
