"Lan Shuang, come out! Come out right here! Is your sister's matter related to you? Tell me clearly!"
The Duchess of England and her two maids rushed to the gate of Prince Ming's mansion in a rage, but were stopped by the guards. The guards did not allow them to enter, and the Duchess of England began to curse.
The sound was so sharp and high-pitched that it made people's scalps tingle, and passers-by stopped to watch.
The Duke of England didn't care at all as they pointed at the three of them and insisted on rushing in.
The guards couldn't really do anything to her, so they could only send someone in to report to King Ming and Lan Shuang.
"Go call Lan Shuang out, or I'll kill myself right here!"
The Duchess of England's hair was messed up in the struggle just now, and her pearl hairpins were all over the floor. She looked crazy and had lost all her former elegance.
"This is the Prince's Palace, not the Duke of England's Palace. Please be careful with your words."
The guard looked at her coldly and refused to budge.
The Duke of Ying sneered, "So what? I'm the mother of Princess Ming. I gave birth to her. What dare you do to me?"
"You--" The guard had never seen such a unreasonable person and was unable to respond for a moment.
The door behind her creaked open. "Madam, are you always so arrogant even when you're not being reasonable? If I remember correctly, I've already severed ties with the Duke of Ying's Mansion, right? The government has already approved it. How could you forget it?"
Lan Shuang's clear and smiling voice came from inside the door. The Duke of England immediately looked up and saw that she was wearing a light pink short jacket, a wrist-length cotton skirt of the same color, and a silver-white fox fur cloak on the outside.
It looks fresh, elegant, pretty and lovely.
She held Biqing's hand and slowly stepped over the threshold, looking down at her. The Duke of England was stunned for a long time, as if she didn't recognize the person in front of her.
"Lan...Lan Shuang?"
But after not seeing her for a few months, she was very different from when I first visited her.
She has become much fuller-bodied, with delicate and rosy skin, looking very healthy. Her eyes are calm and indifferent, and wherever she stands, she inadvertently reveals the nobility of a superior.
Lan Shuang curved her lips and smiled: "What? Madam doesn't recognize me? Then why are you still making trouble?"
"You... tell me, what did Yu Ning mean when she shouted your name before she left? Did you frame her?"
Lady Yingguo's confidence was a little lacking when she first spoke, but she became more and more confident as she spoke. "You were the one who gave up your status as a daughter of the Duke's Mansion, yet in the end you're still jealous of Yu Ning. How could I have given birth to such a narrow-minded daughter like you!"
She scolded Lan Shuang, tears streaming down her face, and looked so pitiful.
This time, the people around did not say anything, but just watched the show quietly.
The president will remember it after being slapped in the face so many times. Besides, the words of the Duchess of England are not tenable.
Lan Shuang was silent for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Madam, you're really good at turning the tables."
She clapped her hands innocently, "If only I had your thick skin, I wouldn't be forced by you to be unable to return home and sever all ties with my biological parents."
"You! What do you mean? Did I force you to leave? Huh? Isn't it just your wishful thinking?"
The Duchess of England stepped forward and glared at him.
Lan Shuang fiddled with the tassels on the hand warmer cover. "What else? Do you remember that I'm your biological daughter now? Instead of throwing a tantrum and accusing me of these things, why not be more direct? You want me to plead with the Emperor to let Lan Yuning go, right?"
She didn't want to argue with the Duchess of England about those boring things, going back and forth about who owed whom and who didn't. It made her sick, and she couldn't listen to such a person who was blinded by greed.
Why waste time talking to her? It is better to burst her dream and let her see the reality.
The Duke of England's face flashed with a moment of awkwardness when her heart was touched. Then, she thought of Lan Yuning and hardened herself again. "Yes, I want you to go and plead for mercy. After all, she is your sister. If you are angry or dissatisfied with anything, just come to us. Don't take it out on your sister!"
"Even if...even if mother begs you!"
As she said this, she made up her mind and was about to kneel down.
She thought that Lan Shuang would definitely hide and help her because so many people were watching. After all, people have to maintain their dignity when they are alive. However, she knelt for a long time, but Lan Shuang did not move.
The Duchess of England: “?”
The people around couldn't help but look at Lan Shuang in surprise.
Lan Shuang stood straight, not giving an inch, a smile on her lips as she spoke clearly, "You and I are no longer mother and daughter. Logically, you should kneel down and pay homage to me. I truly deserve this tribute."
"You!" The Duchess of England's face turned red with anger. She pointed at Lan Shuang with a trembling hand, her eyes full of hatred.
The smile on Lan Shuang's lips faded, and her face turned cold. "Are you hating me? What right do you have to hate me? Just because I refused to save your adopted daughter?"
"Okay, then let me ask you, was it me who instigated Prince Rong to embezzle and accept bribes?"
"Did I let Prince Rong collude with officials and form a clique for personal gain?"
"Or did I pay Prince Rong to bribe those generals?"
"Um?"
One question after another hit the Duchess of England's face, making her lips tremble and feel ashamed.
Lan Shuang flicked her sleeves and said coldly, "Lan Yuning's decision to marry Prince Rong was yours, it had nothing to do with me. She's in jail now because of Prince Rong's involvement. If you have the time to throw a tantrum here, why don't you go to the palace and ask to see the Queen? Do I have the Queen's say anything that matters?"
She seemed to have thought of something, and smiled a slightly malicious smile, "Or are you simply too afraid to enter the palace? You know that the matter is settled and cannot be changed, so you want to try to pick on me, a weak persimmon, and give it a try?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Duchess of England's face turned completely pale.
What else can't the people around understand after seeing this?
He immediately pointed at the British Duchess.
"I'll say this one last time. Listen carefully. I have nothing to do with the Duke of England's mansion. From now on, no matter what happens to me, it will not implicate you. Don't even think about getting anything from me. I've already repaid you last time. If you don't understand, go ask the Duke of England. That's all I have to say. You're on your own."
Lan Shuang didn't even want to look at her after saying that. She turned around and walked back to the mansion. The Duke of Yingguo's eyes were red as she looked at Lan Shuang's back. Suddenly she shouted, "Lan Shuang, I'll kill you, you ungrateful wolf!"
She suddenly jumped up, pulled out a pair of scissors from her sleeve and rushed towards Lan Shuang.
"Princess, be careful!"
Bi Qing subconsciously stood in front of Lan Shuang, but Lan Shuang pushed Bi Qing away and said, "Get out of the way!"
The other hand directly grabbed the Duchess of England's wrist, and with a fierce look in his eyes, he twisted her hand back with force.
“Ahhhhhh—”
The Duchess of England felt pain and loosened her grip, causing the scissors to slip out of her hand. Lan Shuang caught them with her quick eyes and hands and threw them hard into the snow on the side.
The scissors didn't sink into the snow, and the handle on top was still shaking slightly.
