Chapter 390 Consequences

Through the jade pendant, she tracked down Shangguan Yi. Having found the man who might have murdered her loved ones, Bai Lan was unable to do anything due to the power of the Zhenyuan Marquisate. Unlike Bai Lan, Bai Tang, upon learning there might be a hidden agenda behind her grandfather's death, staked out the matter for several days, eventually catching Shangguan Yi leaving the brothel.

She schemed to get the truth about her grandfather's death from Shangguan Yi. The two sisters then discussed how to seek revenge, but found that there seemed to be no way out. Then Bai Tang disappeared. Bai Lan searched for her for months but found nothing. That is until Shangguan Yi came knocking on her door.

Bai Lan had no one to tell about the things that happened at home. Now that she had someone to talk to, she felt relieved, but at the same time, she felt a deep fatigue coming over her. Her vision went dark for a moment before she could see again.

"That's right. Shangguan Yi is extremely jealous of the county lady and your father, Marquis Xuanping. He sought out this commoner because you two are so well-protected that he has no way to attack you. So he decided to attack Jiang Xun."

Jiang Huaixu asked: "Why did you come to me?"

"I don't know." Bai Lan shook her head gently. "Maybe it's because my sister is in his hands, or maybe he knows I'm looking for her and is afraid that she might cause trouble. And also..."

She bit her lip and said, "He said that only people like me can get closer to Jiang Xun."

"I didn't expect that a playboy like him would have such good taste." Shen Huaixu looked at Bai Lan and concluded.

Bai Lan looked up at her and asked, "Could you please tell me where my sister is now?"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Xiaoman's voice came from outside the door, muffled, "Miss, the Marquis has an urgent matter that needs to be dealt with. Someone is sending someone to inform you."

Shen Huaixu stood up and opened the door, "What's the emergency?"

Xiaoman glanced at Bai Lan hesitantly and said, "Miss, it seems that there is a fire in Baiyun Temple outside the city."

The flickering candlelight illuminated Shen Huaixu's eyes, making them intertwine with light and darkness. He turned to look at Bai Lan, "I believe it won't be long before you can see your sister."

The next day, Fuyin and Fubaihu, who had disappeared for three days, were found in the villa behind Baiyun Temple. In addition to Fuyin, many men and women were rescued from underground one after another. What was strange was that before the arrival of the government, all the managers and servants in the villa committed suicide, leaving no one alive.
