Lan Ya screamed, staring at the arm that couldn’t escape from being stabbed. She hid behind An yiniang, “Mother, hurry, drag her out! She’s crazy!”
An yiniang was also stunned by Lan Zhi’s sudden move. Now seeing her eldest daughter was hurt, she brutally pushed away Lan Zhi. Lan Zhi’s body was already pretty damaged with her body being full of scars, so An yiniang’s one push instantly caused her to fall to the ground.
When the maids standing outside heard the screams, they immediately barged in. As soon as they came in, they heard An yiniang’s voice shouting, “Quick! Tie her up quickly!”
Although Lan Zhi has been pushed to the ground, she was not muddle-headed. Hearing her mother and older sister’s voice, she became even angrier, “You really have a cold heart. Why didn’t I kill you!”
“You, you…” An yiniang was shocked by Lan Zhi’s fierce words. In her heart her second daughter though arrogant and ignorant but when has she ever dared to treat her mother and older sister like this? And to do it without any hesitation. Now in An yiniang’s heart, Lan Zhi was totally abandoned. The moment she picked up the knife, she has already been abandoned.
“What’s happened here?” Lan Jian Jun led Uncle Lan and a few of Lan manor’s guards to An yiniang’s courtyard. This was the first time Lan Jian Jun came to this courtyard, but it was not for An yiniang.
“Nothing. Having alarmed the master is my wrong!” An yiniang concealed the matter. After all, if Lan Jian Jun know what happened, not only will he be disappointed in Lan Zhi, he will also be disappointed in her the mother.
“You speak!” Lan Jian asked an unfamiliar maid. He felt extremely annoyed inside. At first, when he heard Uncle Lan report that something has happened in An yiniang’s courtyard, he was eating lunch with his son and daughter, so he did not pay much attention to it. What he didn’t expect was that his daughter had him come over to take a look. Lan Jian Jun was now a father who totally spoils his daughter so Lan Jian Jun did as he was told and came to this courtyard he has never been to.
“Answering master, second young miss used scissors to stab the eldest miss. Now An yiniang ordered everyone to tie up second miss,” the maid told the truth.
“Hmph! Each one of you does not know how to be peaceful! Uncle Lan, bring over An family’s eldest master to the front hall!” Finished, Lan Jian Jun took everyone to the front hall. Lan Zhi who has been tied up was supported by maids while An yiniang and Lan Ya followed behind.
When An Ping was informed of the incident, Uncle Lan already brought An Ping to the front hall.
“Father in law!” An Ping knew that justice wasn’t on his side. After all Lan Zhi was now one of An manor’s people, someone from An manor hurt Lan manor’s young miss, no matter how you explain it, it wasn’t right.
“An eldest young master don’t claim kinship. Since Lan Zhi can do such an unfilial thing, then from this day on, Lan Zhi is no longer my Lan manor’s person. Uncle Lan, inform everyone tomorrow that Lan Zhi is removed of her Lan surname. She has no other connection with my Lan manor!” Lan Jian Jun declared without pause.
“Father, don’t, father!” Lan Zhi knelt on the ground pleading. Lan Jian Jun’s eyes flashed with a trace of hesitation, but he did not take back what he said. What he did was Nian’er’s intention. Before leaving the table, Nian’er said, since second sister is so disobedient, General Lan should take away her Lan manor’s identity, as to not bring disaster to my Lan manor!
“Father in law, this…” An Ping didn’t know what to say to Lan Jian Jun’s merciless words.
“Since she is no longer my Lan manor’s young miss, please ask An eldest master to call this general, General Lan. Uncle Lan, send eldest An young master back home!” Lan Jian Jun just seeing An Ping felt angry and directly began to chase people out of his home. Under Lan Zhi’s crying and An Ping’s dissatisfied posture, the two was led out of Lan manor.
“Master, Ya’er’s injury is very grave. Please ask for a doctor!” An yiniang looked at the wound on Lan Ya’s arm heartachingly. In reality, the wound wasn’t that deep, but Lan Ya was crying as if she was going to die.
“The injury is serious? Just a little injury is called a serious injury? An yiniang, shouldn’t you tell this general what actually happened?” Lan Jian Jun just looking at this mother and daughter, he felt angry. Thinking of how Nian’er disappeared in the past was their doing, he wanted to kill them. If he weren’t giving consideration to the Empress and An manor, he would have already killed them. Now he can only slowly find the faults of An yiniang so he can dispose of An yiniang.
“Master, this concubine doesn’t know why Zhi’er suddenly went crazy and hurt Ya’er. This concubine really doesn’t know!” An yiniang looked at this Lan Jian Jun who is being as cold as he was in the past, her heart ached. Just because he didn’t like her, he didn’t even care about their children?
“What a good don’t know! Look at your good daughter! Truly vicious!” Lan Jian Jun said to Uncle Lan, “Penalize An yiniang to kneel three days!” Finished, he departed. After all, he hasn’t finished eating with his son and daughter.
“Someone come! Ask for a doctor!” As soon as An yiniang saw Lan Jian Jun leave, she gave orders to the servants. After all, she only had this daughter left. If a scar was left on this daughter’s body, what should she do?
“Someone come! Take An yiniang back to the courtyard to kneel as punishment. Have a mama supervise!” Uncle Lan’s voice followed quickly behind causing the anxious and angry An yiniang to faint in anger.
“Mother!” Lan Ya seeing An yiniang faint didn’t pretend to cry anymore and shouted as she supported An yiniang.
“Someone come, send eldest miss back to her room. Find a doctor for eldest miss!” Lan Uncle instructed the guards. Looking at Lan Ya’s pretense, he felt inherent dislike. He felt the third miss was the best. Him this old man was fond of her on first glance.
“You dare!” Lan Ya yelled at Lan Uncle. She was Lan manor’s eldest miss! When did an old slave dare to order her around?
“This is master’s orders. What doesn’t this old slave not dare to do? Take An yiniang back to her courtyard to kneel!” Uncle Lan ordered. Although he was only an old servant, after following the general on the battlefield for many years, his body exuded a murderous aura. If it weren’t because he didn’t like military power, and was loyal to Lan manor, Uncle Lan probably would have become a well-known soldier.
“Understood!” One by one the guards executed their orders. They were regular family servants. They were guards that belonged to Lan Jian Jun.
Uncle Lan seeing the guards took Lan Ya out and also dragged An yiniang down, he nodded with satisfaction then went to You Nian Pavilion to serve his master, the young master, and young miss.
“Father!” Lan Mo Xian and Lan You Nian were still eating when they saw Lan Jian Jun rushing in. The two stood up and showed their respect.
“It’s nothing, continue eating!” Saying so, Lan Jian Jun continued to eat with the tableware from before. Lan Jian Jun picked up a piece of braised fish into Lan You Nian’s dish, said with awkwardness, “This fish isn’t bad, Nian’er eat more!”
“Thanks!” Lan You Nian nodded but did not touch the braised fish. Lan Jian Jun, seeing his daughter’s estranged thanks and unwillingness to eat the food he picked, felt a burst of sourness in his heart. In reality, this time Lan Jian Jun truly overthought. Lan You Nian wasn’t willing to eat fish not because she disliked eating fish but because Lan You Nian didn’t like picking out the fishbones, so she usually did not touch foods like fish.
“Father already cut off the relationship with Lan Zhi. In the future no matter what Nian’er wants to do can do, you don’t have to consider anything!” Lan Jian Jun said to his daughter. He wasn’t blind. Last time at An manor’s banquet, his daughter easily reversed the situation. She regularly left Lan manor without anyone knowing. The words and deeds of her maidservants were nobler than daughters of noble families. With his martial arts, he noticed shadow guards of above average martial arts showed up around his daughter. All of this showed that this daughter wasn’t ordinary. Since his daughter had things she wanted to do, then he as her father will pave the road for her.
Lan You Nian put down the chopsticks she used to eat, frowned and assessed Lan Jian Jun. It seems Lan Jian Jun was aware that she wanted to go against them, but this man didn’t ask for reasons nor did he ask for their ending. He simply helped her. This made Lan You Nian feel she didn’t really hate this man so much.
Lan You Nian waved her hand to Lan Ren who wasn’t hiding himself. Lan Ren promptly left You Nian Pavilion, disappearing in front of everyone’s eyes.
“Nian’er meimei, that is your guard?” Lan Mo Xian saw Lan Ren seemed to have a very powerful hidden technique and felt envious. He intuitively felt this man seemed to be at the same level as An Yi. In the past every time he sparred against An Yi, it was a disastrous defeat. Because of this Lan Mo Xian was depressed for a long time.
“You can say that!” Lan You Nian nodded. Lan Ren and the others were not only were her subordinates, they were also her friends.
“In the future is there time to let him and I spar? You know older brother likes martial arts very much!” Lan Mo Xian’s words weren’t false. If he didn’t have other things to do, he liked to practice martial arts. But Lan Ren was his little sister’s subordinate. If he wanted to spar with Lan Ren, he needed to ask the master.
“You have to ask Lan Ren, I can’t decide for him, but I think Lan Ren won’t refuse!” Although Lan You Nian required her subordinates to be absolutely obedient, she didn’t interfere in other matters. She gave them a lot of personal space to live and enjoy life, but clearly, Lan Ren and the others were really old-fashioned and always put Lan You Nian first.
——
Sounds of beating and a voice begging for mercy drifted out from one of An manor’s small courtyards.
“Slut! This young master wanted you to ask for medicine. You actually hurt people instead. Now, how will aunt help me find medicine!” An Ping kicked Lan Zhi who laid the ground.
“It wasn’t me! Cousin-brother, believe me, I did beg mother to ask medicine for cousin-brother, but I didn’t expect that mother would refuse. I felt unfair for cousin-brother, so I hurt eldest sister. Cousin-brother, I did it for you ah!” Lan Zhi was already tortured almost to death. Her entire body felt woozy.
“For this young master? Hmph! Last time this young master didn’t know and got onto your bed and caught this sickness. Now this young master only wanted you to ask for medicine, you failed, what’s the use of having you?” An Ping picked up the porcelain vase on the table and threw it on Lan Zhi. The vase broke Lan Zhi’s forehead causing it to bleed. The fragmented pieces lay around Lan Zhi.
Why? Why did everyone treat her like this? Father was like this, mother was like this, older sister was like this, younger brother was like this, now even her husband cousin-brother was like this, what did she do wrong? No, she didn’t do anything wrong! It was all these people’s fault! Lan Zhi with her eyes opened wide stared at An Ping who continued to beat her. She picked up a broken piece of porcelain and slowly stood up under An Ping’s beating.
“Seems like you still have spirit, huh?” An Ping didn’t expect that Lan Zhi who suffered from his beatings and would usually beg for mercy right about now would stand up today.
“Ah, I want to kill you!” Lan Zhi picked up the sharp piece of porcelain in her hand and stabbed it at An Ping’s. But with her frail body how can it fight against the strong body of An Ping, a man? An Ping cherished his life and was about to back away to call in the guards to kill this woman.
In the shadows, Lan Ren looked down at these two people with contempt. When An Ping prepared to dodge sideways, he flung a burst of pressure to throw An Ping towards Lan Zhi. The sharp piece of porcelain Lan Zhi held in her hands directly pierced An Ping’s heart. Lan Ren was afraid there was a possibility that An Ping will be saved so once again threw a small force of power at Lan Zhi so that the porcelain in Lan Zhi’s hands was wholly embedded in An Ping’s heart.
An Ping stared with wide eyes the blood gushing out of his heart. He opened his mouth to say something, but he only vomited blood. The blood sprayed on Lan Zhi’s face. Lan Zhi was completely scared by the sight before her eyes. Although she was furious to the point she wanted to kill An Ping, but now that she really did kill An Ping, she knew for sure she won’t be able to live.
Lan Zhi pushed An Ping onto the ground and looked at the window in the back of the room in a panic, wanting to escape through the window. She didn’t want to die yet, she didn’t want to die at all. It was better to live than to have a good death. She wanted to live. As long as she escapes, no one from An manor can find her.
But will Lan Ren give her this chance to escape? Of course not. They will not let go of any one of the people who bullied their young miss in the past. Since she schemed against young miss, Lan Zhi’s life has been caught by young miss. She deliberately made Lan Zhi lose all face and lose the innocence of a girl. After catching the disease, she made her be in pain and afraid, then gave a blow to her self-esteem by becoming a concubine, making her regret and be disappointed. Then her supposed husband tortured her letting her body and spirit to be in extreme pain. Now to give her the final blow, that is death!
Lan Ren used internal force to make all the things on the table fall to the ground, the sound of objects shattering finally attracted the guards standing outside the door. Seeing the guards barging in, Lan Ren hid himself and left An manor.
“Eldest master!” The guards saw An Ping lying on the bloody ground shouted anxiously. The other guards tied up Lan Zhi who was about to run away.
“Ping’er!” The entire prime minister manor was immersed in sorrow because the grandson An manor’s Prime Minister An was most proud of, An Gong Jing’s most beloved son, An Ping, has died. He was killed by his own concubine. His death was miserable.
“Uncle, it wasn’t me! It really wasn’t me. Uncle let go of Zhi’er!” Lan Zhi saw all the people of An manor looking at her with murderous expressions. It made her afraid and pled for mercy.
An Gong Jing drew out a guard’s long sword and walked toward Lan Zhi. Each step carried murderous intent and hate. His beloved son died in his own niece’s hands, how can he not be angry?
“Uncle, no, think about mother. Mother is your younger sister!” Lan Zhi backed away.
“Pu!” The sword in An Gong’s hands thrust through Lan Zhi. Without any mercy, he retracted the sword. Seeing Lan Zhi drop down on An manor’s hall, the guards seemed to be used to it as two people directly came in and dragged out Lan Zhi’s body.
At the moment right before death, Lan Zhi saw that girl that was always bullied by her, so little and so pitiful, and always used damp eyes to beg her, her soft voice begging, “Second sister, please don’t hit me again!” Lan Zhi saw the little her beating that girl as if teasing her like an animal. Is her ending retribution? But Lan Zhi didn’t have the opportunity to know because she died, unable to do anything.
