Shi Lan glared, stubbornly retorting, "If she can do it, why can't I?"
Shi Rong paused, opened his mouth, but found that something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound.
Seeing Shi Rong's reaction, Shi Lan snorted, "Ning Zhan killed Zhou Yuanming for Shi Yi's sake. Who knows, he might make a mistake and turn on my sister one day. Big brother, you have to stand firm and not be biased just because Ning Zhan is your friend."
Shi Rong glared at her, wanting to say that Ning Zhan wasn't that kind of person, but the facts were right in front of him, and he couldn't argue with them.
The jade pendant was passed down to Ning Zhan by his grandfather. He cherished it and never parted with it. If he hadn't gone there, how could Shi Lan's people have found it?
Shi Rong was somewhat dazed, and images of Ning Zhan's visit flashed rapidly through his mind, yet he didn't notice anything amiss.
Shi Lan pouted and said, "Big brother, I think you don't need to look anymore. The Marquis of Dingyuan's family has many properties. If they want to hide someone, how can others find them? She is so unruly. It would be better to just report her as dead. If anything happens in the future, it won't involve our family."
Shi Rong pondered for a moment, then remained silent.
Shi Lan gave Shi Xi a look, and Shi Xi pursed his lips and said, "Big brother, Lan'er's words may be rough, but they make sense. Shi Yi really can't live any longer."
Shi Rong frowned and looked down at her.
Shi Xi said slowly with a cold face, "She is a daughter of the Shi family just like us. If rumors spread because of this, I'm fine because of the marriage agreement. Even if the Ning family is unwilling, they can only swallow their pride. But what about Lan'er? What will happen to her? Which decent family would be willing to propose marriage? Are they going to let her live a lonely life by the lamplight?"
Shi Rong looked at Shi Xi with heartache. She was clearly the victim, yet she still had to endure the pain and think about her younger sister at home.
Shi Lan pursed her lips but didn't say anything.
Things must be done one at a time. Let's deal with Shi Yi first, and leave Ning Zhan for a couple of days. (To be continued.)
