Hearing the groundless accusations directed at his niece, Lan Yu (uncle) in the end couldnât suppress his anger and exploded: âAll of you shut up!â
Almost instantly, the crowd went mute again because they were all overwhelmed by the sudden roar.
âYou say my niece eloped with someone, whereâs the evidence?â He sneered, disgusted by those foul lips, âAside from Bai Zheng Xiangâs slandering claim, thereâs nothing. Nothing you all hear?! If anything, I say itâs a whole set up designed to let Bai Ruo marry the prince here.â
âLan Yu!â Bai Zheng Xiang roars out in utter rage: âWhat do you mean by that? Iâm kind enough to attend your banquet and this is how you treat us, frame my daughter? Ruo is noble and virtuous, how can she use such means to seduce His Highness here. I say, only Bai Yan can do such a thing that you say!â
Daughter?
A pang of irony could be seen in Lan Yuâs face because he now understands, to this man, only Bai Ruo and her sister Bai Zhi can be considered his daughter while the other one canât!

âLord Lan, you are too much by doing this.â Nangong Yi wrinkled his brow as his complexion turned dark, âMy wife warned me of this, but I didnât expect it to be so true. She said Bai Yan will definitely pin the blame of her misdeeds on others and now it seems thereâs no lie at all. Only you would believe that womanâs nonsense.â
Clenching his fist, Lan Yu wanted to rebuke back when he suddenly heard a slight cough from the outside. Looking over at the source, the crowd could see Old Lord Lan slowly walking in with a group of people by his side.
âFather.â Suppressing his anger, Lan Yu quickly went over to pay his respect.
âAhumph! I welcome you all for attending my granddaughterâs welcome home banquet.â Deliberately clearing his throat with that cough, his fierce eyes scanned the surrounding as a form of suppression. However, it halted in doubt when it came to Di Cangâs turn.
Itâs like heâs trying to convey âwhy are you here?â to everyone.
Understanding his fatherâs confusion, Lan Yu hurries to shake his head at his father, telling the old man he too doesnât know why.
âLord Lan, your bodyâ¦â A flicker of astonishment could be seen in Nangong Yiâs iris as a unknown thought ran through his mind.
On the other side, Bai Zheng Xiang could no longer suppress his emotions anymore. A monstrous amount of rage came rushing out as he pinned daggers at the old grandpa.
Why is this old man still not dead?
No, it should whyâs he even able to climb out of bed?
Under the surprised eye of the audience, Old Lord Lan slowly came in front of Di Cang, his old face revealing a welcoming smile: âFor Lord Cang yourself to make a visit to our humble abode, itâs truly a honor.â
Looking down in a condescending manner at the old man, Di Cangâs voice remains aloof and cold: âIâm only curious about who this Bai Yan is and how she can be so infamous in the kingdom.â
Recalling the information gathered by his guards, those seductive eyes began to narrow dangerously.
Losing her virginity six years ago, getting pregnant?
Good!
Very good!
I like to see how long this woman can keep up with that stubborn act!
Curving his lip into a bloodthirsty smile, that oppressive aura blowing out from nothing made the whole room difficult to breathâ¦
Feeling a bad premonition from this, Old Lord Lan begins to worry that his granddaughter mightâve offended this bloodthirsty man by accident somewhere.
