Five years ago, ever since she, Xiao Lan, had massacred the entire Xiao family, not to mention kicking her, even the people who touched her had become extinct!
Now, she could even meet such a person who wanted to court death!
This time, Xiao Lan used a hundred percent of his strength. He thought that even if this tree branch could not trap her whole foot into the ground, it would pierce through the back of her foot!
But no, neither!
The branch did not stick onto her foot with blood dripping onto it, nor did it pierce through her body. It only lightly pierced through her shoes, causing her to feel a slight pain.
"Ah!" Even though it was just a sliver of pain, it made her scream as if she had just killed a pig.
"You bastard, how dare you prick me! Men, beat him to death! "
It was as if the temple had exploded as she gave out the order. Even though she had given out the order, everyone was still standing at the door like idiots, their eyes filled with surprise.
The main reason was because they were too shocked by the scene just now. No one could have imagined that even the weak Third Young Miss of the Hou clan would have a day to resist!
Had she been forced into a corner? Or was he determined to avenge himself before he died?
However, no matter what kind of fate this Third Young Miss had, it would be a fate worse than death or being directly beaten to death by the Second Young Miss!
Seeing that everyone was still motionless, the furious roars that sounded like they were about to tear down the roof sounded, "Are you all deaf?! I'll let you beat this bitch to death, do you hear me! "
Everyone finally regained their senses and instantly had ice-cold and vicious expressions as they mercilessly rushed towards Xiao Lan.
Right when everyone's fists and kicks were about to land on Xiao Lan, a stern roar sounded from the door.
"Stop!"
The crowd subconsciously stopped and all looked towards the door.
After seeing who the person was, she dashed in front of him and said fiercely, "Butler Liu, do you dare to interfere in my business? Have you had enough of living?"
Xiao Lan, who was half-crouching on the ground, was once again obstructed by the crowd. She naturally could not see what Housekeeper Liu was like, but the benevolent face of an old man clearly appeared in her mind.
Suddenly, a voice kept ringing in her ears. "Uncle Liu, you're really nice to me …"
"Uncle Liu, you're the best person in the entire Hou clan for me …"
"Uncle Liu, thank you …"
"…"
Xiao Lan's head began to ache again as she covered her forehead with both hands. What's going on? Why did she have a headache and why did she have so many strange memories? It was as if someone was trying their best to fuse with her.
"Housekeeper Liu, don't think that I don't know that you've always been protecting that lowly bastard, but if you can't give me a proper reason today, then I don't care how much you've done for the Hou Mansion. Today, I'll beat you up as well!"
Just as the arrogant voice of Wei Yaru fell, a middle-aged woman's dignified voice rang out from the side of the crowd.
"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense! "
Instantly, everyone bent their knees and bowed to pay their respects.
"Madam."
"Mother."
The silent Sky Meng Han quickly walked towards the middle-aged woman.
The girl's intimidating gaze swept across everyone one by one. When her gaze landed on Xiao Lan, who was in the woodshed, she paused for two seconds. However, she only paused for a split-second before shifting her gaze away without saying a word.
Initially fearful, when she saw the middle-aged woman's reaction, she immediately let out a sigh of relief. Then, a complacent smile appeared on her face.
Xiao Lan endured the pain in her head as she clearly saw the dignified face of the woman through the gaps in everyone's bowing and scraping, as well as the cold gaze that seemed to have swept over her.
The matriarch of Hou Mansion, the official wife of the first rank General Wei Ze, the biological mother of the two Wei sisters, Yan Shi and Yan Qiao'er. Her father was the present Minister of Rites, Yan Fangzheng.
Everyone's names, identities, and backs flashed past in Xiao Lan's mind.
At this moment, Xiao Lan had no choice but to admit that she wasn't her, she was Xiao Lan, not Xiao Lan.
Just when she used all her strength just now, she clearly knew that the current body wasn't hers, because her fingers weren't thin and her arms weren't weak. Furthermore, there wasn't a plum flower like birthmark on her left wrist.
So she, Xiao Lan, only had her own consciousness, and the rest weren't hers.
Xiao Lan slowly closed her eyes. She was used to tightly closing her eyes when she was unable to control her emotions. This way, she could conceal her true emotions.
She was afraid, she was completely afraid, because she had come to a place that did not belong to her. She had taken over a body that did not belong to her!
After closing her eyes, Xiao Lan seemed to have sunk into an opaque, muddy swamp.
The scene disappeared, but the voice became clearer. From a distance, the Yan family reprimanded, "Yaru, don't be rude to Housekeeper Liu in the future. Housekeeper Liu saved your father's life on the battlefield.
Housekeeper Liu's voice was low and frightened, "I dare not say so, Madame is getting serious."
Yan Shi was sincere but did not say anything. "Housekeeper Liu, you can take responsibility. Yaru, do you remember?!"
"I understand, mother."
"Mother, why have you come here?"
Yan's mother changed her tone. "The palace sent word that your father won the war and that we will arrive at the capital today after the class reunion. The Emperor has authorized us to go outside the city to welcome him personally."
"Is what Mother said true?"
"Of course it's true."
"That's great! Father is finally back."
"Yeah, yeah."
"Congratulations Madam, congratulations young miss."
"…"
The crowd began to congratulate him again and again.
"Let's go, we'll wait outside the city gates right now."
"Alright, alright."
"…"
Very quickly, the group of people that descended from the sky before Xiao Lan disappeared.
Xiao Lan still had her eyes closed as she leaned against the damp woodpile. She thought that everyone had left, but suddenly, the concerned voice of an old man sounded in her ears.
"Little girl, are you alright?"
It was Housekeeper Liu. Xiao Lan opened his eyes and retracted all of his emotions. He looked calmly at Housekeeper Liu but did not say a word.
"Sigh …" Housekeeper Liu sighed deeply, then extended his hand to support Xiao Lan. "I'll send you back first."
Xiao Lan originally didn't want to be touched by others, but even if she wasn't, she didn't have the strength to push the old man at her side away.
Along the way, Xiao Lan had personally witnessed the extraordinary skills of the pavilions and pavilions built by the ancients. They were beautifully carved, with a long path and unique flavor.
Xiao Lan looked at everything before her and her heart sank. She could no longer see any traces of modernization in this place. What was she to do next when she had suddenly arrived at this place?
