Lan Chuli's eyes flashed with determination, and his voice became more and more fierce, even a little crazy: "As long as you don't drive me away, I can let you do anything!"
There was a desperate madness in her eyes, as if she was willing to pay any price, even her own soul, to stay.
Song Jiao's face was stern, with a cold light flashing in her eyes. She kicked Lan Chuli away with such force that the latter staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
"I was being tolerant by letting you stay, simply because I felt I owed you something." Song Jiao's voice was cold and firm, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. "But you dare to hurt Lan Chuyi again and again? Do you really think I'm blind?"
Lan Chuli's face turned pale in an instant. She argued in a trembling voice: "No, it's not like that. I was also forced. Someone forced me to do this!"
Song Jiao just looked at her coldly, as if she was watching a clown's performance. "Forced? Do you think I would believe such an excuse?"
Suddenly, something broke through the darkness with a fierce momentum.
Song Jiao's eyes flashed, and she quickly turned over to stand in front of Lan Chuli and grabbed the flying silver needle.
Her movements were as fast as lightning, and she completed the counterattack in almost an instant, and the silver needle was shot back into a corner in the darkness.
There was only a "bang" sound, as if something fell to the ground.
Without a moment's hesitation, Song Jiao immediately pulled Lan Chuyi along, and the two of them quickly chased after him.
When I got closer, I found that the person was dead.
"Mom, what do you think?" Lan Chuyi asked.
"Lie down and watch? Don't you know everything? Why are you asking me why?" Song Jiao just felt that the heroine was still a little bit good at pretending and acting.
He had clearly noticed that there were people around, but he remained silent. Was he trying to see what she would do?
"Lan Chuli is going to die, but not now!"
Lan Chuyi spread her hands and said, "It's really too easy for her to die like this. She should just let this shameful thing go for a while. Or why don't you just throw her out?"
"I think the same as you!" The two smiled at each other.
Lan Chuli collapsed on the ground, his body shaking like a sieve, and the fear in his heart surged like a tide.
She knew clearly that the man was going to kill her. Under the protection of the Lan family, she might still have a glimmer of hope, but once she crossed that threshold, death would come mercilessly. No, she couldn't just sit there and wait for fate to take her place.
Song Jiao and Lan Chuyi appeared at the door. Lan Chuli's heart tightened and his lips moved, wanting to confess everything.
However, before she could speak, the two men stared at her silently, their eyes deep and complicated.
Behind them, four or five secret guards appeared like ghosts, picked her up coldly and efficiently, and quickly took her out of the city.
"No! I won't leave, I want to go back!" Lan Chuli struggled, trying to break free from the restraints, her voice filled with despair and unwillingness, "Take me back, I'm the eldest daughter of the Lan family, you can't do this to me!"
Her cries echoed in the night sky, but the secret guards seemed not to hear them and continued to move forward.
After being ruthlessly thrown out of the city, Lan Chuli frantically tried to catch up with the secret guards, but her strength seemed so insignificant in despair.
Suddenly, a man in purple clothes appeared in front of her. His eyes were cold and deep. He reached out and pinched Lan Chuli's jaw fiercely.
"I don't like disobedient people!" The man said in a cold tone, and his fingers gradually increased in strength.
Lan Chuli only felt a sharp pain in his jaw, followed by a crisp "crack" sound in his neck.
Her world became blurry at this moment, and her body fell weakly to the ground, no longer making any sound.
The man in purple looked coldly at Lan Chuli lying on the ground, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
On this crazy night, Lan Chuli's life fell like a meteor, but that man didn't even frown.
The purple-robed man withdrew his hand and looked at Lan Chuli lying quietly on the ground, motionless, as if she were just a shabby doll that had been casually discarded. A cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was admiring his masterpiece.
"This is what happens when you betray me." He whispered to himself, his tone full of disdain and sarcasm.
The moonlight fell on Lan Chuli, her face looked particularly pale, her eyes closed, as if she had just fallen into a deep sleep.
The man in purple turned and left, his purple sleeves fluttering in the night wind like the cloak of the god of death.
His indifferent figure gradually disappeared in the moonlight, as if he had never appeared.
Lan Chuli's body was still lying on the ground, with no one paying attention to her.
This incident also caused an uproar within the Lan family.
In the Lan family's main courtyard, the night was hazy, and the moonlight sprinkled across the exquisite courtyard like water. The warm yellow light shone through the carved doors and windows, forming a sharp contrast with the night sky.
Lan Chuyi walked lightly to the door of the room. She was wearing an elegant dress, and her face showed a calm and intelligent look.
In her heart, Song Jiao, whom she calls mother, not only has upright values, but also acts very carefully. She can always give her the most appropriate advice and help at critical moments.
What made her feel even warmer was that Song Jiao always sided with her from time to time, which made her very happy to get along with this mother.
"Mother, Lan Chuli is dead." Lan Chuyi's voice was a bit complicated, with regret and relief.
Song Jiao was sitting at the table, playing with a jade pendant in her hand. Upon hearing this, she simply responded, "Well, my personal guard has already reported it. Lan Chuli must be looking for the secret of the Lan family's guardian artifact. Unfortunately, she is destined not to obtain it."
Her tone was calm, yet revealed an unquestionable majesty.
Lan Chuyi walked over to Song Jiao and analyzed the information she had, saying, "The person behind her should be the prince!"
How dare he lay hands on her mother? Doesn't she know how protective she is of her children? Sooner or later, he will be in big trouble.
Song Jiao looked at Lan Chuyi with admiration in her eyes. She took off an exquisite space necklace from her neck and handed it to Lan Chuyi, saying, "This is the secret guarded by our family. If you want to become powerful, go collect it, go find it! If you need anything, just tell me."
Her tone was gentle and firm, as if telling Lan Chuyi that no matter how many difficulties and challenges lay ahead, she would always be Lan Chuyi's strongest support.
Lan Chuyi took the necklace and felt the coolness and mysterious power coming from it.
"Thank you, mother! Dad and brother seem to have a lot of complaints about me." She paused and continued.
Song Jiao sneered, "It doesn't matter. I am the head of the Lan family. It doesn't matter what they do. I will make sure they don't have any opinions."
