She clenched the fan in her hand, her lips trembling, but she couldn't utter those two words no matter what.
Prince Rong saw her standing there without saying anything, frowned, and couldn't help but speak in a more serious tone: "Yu Ning?"
Lan Yuning looked at him with resentful eyes, but Prince Rong remained indifferent. After seeing Lan Shuang and then looking at Lan Yuning, it was like seeing a peony in full bloom, and the small white flowers on the roadside were no longer pleasing to the eye.
There is no harm without comparison.
Seeing that he was unwilling to support her, Lan Yuning dared to challenge Prince Rong as soon as she entered the door. She could only bow to Lan Shuang reluctantly: "Yu Ning greets my sister."
Lan Shuang smiled, but her words were not so pleasant: "That won't do. How will Prince Rong cope with you calling me sister? Isn't this a generation gap?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Prince Rong and said meaningfully, "A woman who marries must obey her husband. According to the royal family's seniority system, you must call me Aunt Wang. I don't mind my age. The rules cannot be broken. Go ahead."
Lan Yuning was so angry that her teeth were about to break.
You know she's here for no good, to intimidate you?
"It's Yu Ning who's being naive. Meet Aunt Wang."
Let's just swallow this anger and wait until Prince Rong leaves.
Prince Rong nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this: "Aunt Wang, the guests ahead are still waiting for me. I'll excuse myself now. Let Yu Ning talk to you."
"Your Highness, please go now. I will take good care of Aunt Wang." Lan Yuning straightened up and said with a smile.
Lan Shuang looked at her, smiled meaningfully and nodded.
Prince Rong turned and left. Lan Yuning said to the maids in the room, "Everyone, please leave. We don't need you to serve us here."
"yes."
As she spoke, she looked at Biqing and Zhenhan behind Lan Shuang.
Lan Shuang waved her hand: "Get out."
Biqing and Zhenhan looked at each other and said, "Yes."
When they were the only two left in the room, Lan Shuang sat down at the table very naturally, without any hesitation.
Lan Yuning closed the door, turned around and stood at the doorway, glaring at Lan Shuang with a very unfriendly tone: "What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me and show off your power?"
"Don't get so excited. I'm not here to ruin your marriage, nor do I plan to do anything to you. I even brought a gift."
"What gift?"
Lan Yuning didn't believe that she would be so kind.
Lan Shuang smiled and said, "It's nothing, just the Guanyin and the Jade Ruyi, don't be nervous."
Lan Yuning sneered, her tone full of sarcasm.
"There are no outsiders here, why are you still pretending? Lan Shuang, you hate me to death, right?"
Lan Yuning deliberately provoked her, saying something unpleasant: "I stole your father, mother, and brother, and took your place, enjoying all the love and favors, while you have nothing. So what if you marry the Ming King? I've already told the Ming King your secret, and he'll divorce you sooner or later!"
Lan Shuang propped up her chin with one hand and looked at her with a smile. Her face was innocent and naive, but her words were extremely cruel. "Do you think the prince cares?"
Lan Yuning: "What did you say?"
Lan Shuang: "If the prince cared, would I still be sitting here peacefully now?"
Her eyes swept across the things in the room, finally landing on the red dragon and phoenix candles on the table. The dancing candlelight reflected in her eyes, with a kind of silent madness.
"Lan Yuning, you've said so much, aren't you just trying to prove that you're living a better life than me? But if you really think you're doing well, why would you compare yourself to me?"
She tilted her head and glanced at her casually: "You are self-prepared, you are terrified, you want to find the best backer, and you try your best to prove yourself, but in the end, your value is only derived from your parents' status. Without the Duke of Ying's Mansion, you are nothing."
"Shut up!" Lan Yuning's secret was exposed. She was furious and rushed towards the door.
Lan Shuang looked at her jokingly: "Are you angry out of shame? I haven't finished speaking yet."
Lan Yuning gnashed her teeth and said, "You're just a wandering ghost. If you hadn't taken over Lan Shuang's body, who would you be? Don't think I dare not tell anyone. If you push me to the limit, I'll ask the master to take you in!"
"Okay, come on, and see if I'm scared."
Lan Shuang slowly stood up, approached slowly, and spoke softly, "Lan Yuning, you said I was a wandering ghost, what about you?"
Lan Yuning's heart pounded, as if it was about to burst a hole. She was so frightened that her hands and feet were cold. She looked at her calmly, "What do you want to say?"
But Lan Shuang just smiled and said nothing more.
This made Lan Yuning even more uncertain. Did she know something? Was she coming here just to warn her?
No, it's impossible. She couldn't possibly know! She was who she was. Even though she was reborn, her soul was still the same. There was no way anyone could see through her flaws!
She must be lying to me! She must be!
Thinking of this, Lan Yuning regained some confidence. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Lan Shuang say, "You had an unfortunate life in your previous life. God gave you a chance to change your fate in this life, but not only did you not cherish it, you used it to harm others and steal things that didn't belong to you. Do you really think you can rest easy just like that?"
"you--"
Lan Yuning's whole body began to tremble uncontrollably, even her teeth were chattering. Did she know all this?
Lan Shuang looked at her with a half-smile: "If you stop now, I can spare your life. Although you hurt me first and tried to kill me many times, I am still alive. I can give you another chance. But if you continue to seek death, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."
She reached out and gently pushed Lan Yuning, who fell down fragilely like the last dead leaf on a branch in late autumn.
Lan Shuang: “…”
What about hitting a car?
She scoffed, withdrew her hand, turned around and walked forward: "That's all I have to say. Take care of yourself."
Seeing her walk to the door, Lan Yuning suddenly said, "Lan Shuang!"
Lan Shuang paused and looked back at her.
Lan Yuning gritted her teeth and said, "Do you really think you can rest easy just by marrying up to the Ming King? Even if he's a favored child of heaven, I have ways to bring him down. As long as the throne doesn't fall into his hands, you all hold your heads on the line!"
Lan Shuang raised her eyebrows: "Okay, then we'll see."
After saying that, she pushed the door open and left with Biqing and Zhenhan.
…
In the carriage, 888 asked her in confusion, "Host, why did you say you wanted to give her a chance? If she really doesn't attack again, are you going to let her go? She was so determined to kill Lan Shuang in her previous life."
Lan Shuang raised an eyebrow and picked up a piece of dessert to eat. "Let her go? Impossible. Given her personality, she won't give up easily, so what I said is basically impossible to achieve. Besides, even if I don't take action, Lan Yuning will die according to the original trajectory. After all, Prince Rong is here, or she will live in excruciating pain. Either way, it will be more painful than killing her directly."
888 suddenly realized: "Is that so."
