C447 Mother-in-law Questioned(1)
She doesn't care, but it doesn't mean she can't handle it. Everything Lan Lijue had done before was under the guise of the heir of the Lan family, but now, he was crazy enough to want to get rid of the heir of the Lan family.
If the elders knew about this, Lan Lijue wouldn't be able to escape punishment.
Therefore, Madam Lan had nothing to fear now.
Lan Xuehan looked at the intense atmosphere in front of her, and then she saw Dongfang Jin's elegant and indifferent expression. She was not surprised at all. A trace of shrewdness flashed in her eyes and she gently pushed Dongfang Jin.
The sound was extremely low, and only the two of them could hear it. "Did you already know about this situation? That's why you're so fearless?"
Dongfang Jin smiled and did not say anything, but Lan Xuehan instantly understood. Her small nose twitched and she shouted in her heart that he was treacherous.
He had been planning to deal with the Lan family for many years, so he naturally knew about the situation of Lan Lijue and his grandmother. That was why he proposed to return to the Lan family in a grand manner.
Her safety was threatened, but the Pavilion of Elders had become her protective umbrella. In this way, not only would she be protected, she would also be able to enter the Lan family, save her parents, and destroy the Lan family.
This plan of counting birds with one stone was truly brilliant. Dongfang Jin was indeed evil!
Lan Lijue understood that he could not fight head-on now. He took a deep breath and restrained the killing intent in his heart.
Since the matter had been exposed, he would not bring it upon himself. Lan Xuehan and the others were currently in the Lan family, in his territory. There were plenty of opportunities to quietly get rid of them.
Furthermore, since Lan Xuehan had returned to the Lan family... If he could find an opportunity, he would be able to get what he wanted as soon as possible.
With this thought, Lan Lijue completely suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Since all of you have returned, you can stay here for now! I will find a time to welcome you and inform the entire heavens. The heir of Lan family has returned. When the time comes, you should also prepare yourself and go to the spirit farm to cultivate! "
When mentioning the spirit field, Dongfang Jin's eyes darkened, but Lan Xuehan's expression remained the same.
Without waiting for Lan Xuehan to reply, Old Madam Lan smiled and said to the two of them, "It was not easy for you all to come back. Let's go and live at grandma's place. In case some blind people secretly plot against you, by the way. Let our grandfathers and grandsons have a good chat!"
Lan Muhua gave Lan Xuehan and the others a look. Lan Xuehan instantly understood and answered with a smile.
The few of them followed the old mistress out, leaving the faces of the people in the hall red with anger.
Wasn't the old mistress referring to them in her words?
Especially Lan Lingxi, her beautiful eyes were burning with jealousy. The handkerchief in her hands had been twisted by her.
The beautiful back of the two of them was like a sharp sword, piercing the corner of her eye.
But she knew that she had to endure it now.
However, thinking of the matter Yin Qianying had reported to her grandfather, Lan Lingxi's lips curled up into a scheming smile.
Just wait! She, Lan Lingxi, had never failed the things she wanted!
"Alright, except for Mingyu, everyone else can go down!"
Those underlings retreated with a sound. The remaining shock on their faces had yet to disappear. It was obvious that the imposing manner just now had frightened them.
After everyone had left, Lan Lijue's sharp gaze was directed at Xiao Mingyu. His tone was gloomy.
"Are you going to disobey me? Don't you forget that I was the one who raised you. Are you going to disobey my orders for that evil creature?"
Xiao Mingyu had already guessed that Lan Lijue would ask him about saving Lan Xuehan.
Facing such pressure, his expression didn't change. He continued to speak in an elegant and cold tone, "What the patriarch said is wrong. Mingyu is the fiancé that the patriarch has chosen for her. It was the patriarch who sent Mingyu to fetch her back to the Lan family. Therefore, Mingyu naturally had to pay more attention to her safety. That day, he didn't recognize her as the patriarch because of the urgency of the situation. That was why he attacked. Mingyu is willing to be punished for offending you!"
Xiao Mingyu's words were watertight, choking all of Lan Lijue's accusations.
His sharp eyes swept across Xiao Mingyu, but he could not see anything. He could only give up.
He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then asked casually, "Don't tell me you have nothing to ask about what happened that day?"
Xiao Mingyu lowered his eyes, covering the obscure darkness, and replied without the slightest ripple in his voice.
"She has nothing to do with me!"
Lan Lijue's deep eyes saw every inch of Xiao Mingyu's expression. He paused for a moment. He then said, "This is for the best. There are some things that have nothing to do with you, so don't meddle in them. However, she is already married and has children. What do you think about this matter?"
Was he here to test him?
Xiao Mingyu mocked in his heart, but he still maintained his calm expression." He has always been ruthless, so how can it be related to him? However, since she did such a thing under the name of my fiancee, this can't be forgiven! "
The ending of the sentence was raised, and it carried a cold chill.
When Lan Lijue heard this, a trace of a cold and ruthless smile flashed across his dark eyes.
"Alright, you can go down first!"
After Xiao Mingyu left, Lan Lijue looked at his back with a gloomy expression. He asked in a light voice, "How trustworthy do you think what he said is?"
Lan Xing, who was silent beside him, heard him and said with a serious face, "He has always been deep in thought and has never revealed his emotions. So it is difficult for us to determine whether it is true or not. Mistress, why don't you observe for a period of time. At that time, you will know!"
" I just feel that if he were to find out about what happened back then at this critical juncture, one Lan Xuehan, one Dongfang Jin, and one more him, I'm afraid that he would really need to put in a lot of effort at that time! "
This kind of emotional sigh made Lan Xing's face turn heavy.
"Alright, let's not talk about this first. You go and remind the family of Second Brother. Even if I can't die in their hands, I won't let them live well here!"
Lan Xing nodded and looked at Lan Lijue's face. He asked tentatively, "What about the madame? The old lady has completely fallen out with Master this time. What should we do?"
Thinking of Madam Lan, Lan Lijue's expression became even uglier.
After a long while, he said, "Her courtyard is full of her own people, the entire courtyard is watertight. Plus, the maternal family behind her isn't weak either. If we make a move... At this critical moment, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.
Forget it. Let's let her live first. Lau Mianyue doesn't have much time left. When her granddaughter dies, she will be alone. She won't have much life left before we make a move! "
Lan Xing nodded his head in understanding.
On the other side, Lan Xuehan and the rest followed the madame and finally arrived at her residence.
