She leaned back, placed her hands on the armrests on both sides, and her aura suddenly became full.
"Madam, you keep saying you gave birth to me and raised me, but in reality, you only gave birth to me, but didn't raise me."
Lan Shuang raised her right hand and slowly extended her index finger. "This is the first point. My wet nurse deliberately switched me. Is this my fault? How could a baby like me resist? Isn't this your negligence? Isn't it that the wet nurse has evil intentions?"
"Secondly, she—"
Lan Shuang's gaze fell on Lan Yuning, and she sneered, "You're taking my place as the eldest daughter, living a life of luxury, and receiving the best education. But what about me? Where were you when I was starving and washing clothes in ice water in the countryside in winter? Now you're blaming me for not knowing etiquette and literary skills. Isn't that ridiculous?"
She raised her middle finger.
"Thirdly," Lan Shuang's voice grew colder, "Do you remember what you did after you recognized me? Where were you when outsiders bullied and humiliated me? You didn't support me and blamed me for bringing shame to the Duke's Mansion. I don't understand all of this. How can you have the nerve to say you were grateful for giving birth to me and raising me?"
She raised her ring finger again.
The Duke and Lady of England couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.
"Shouldn't I be resentful? Shouldn't I be hateful? You treat me like this, and you still expect me to repay you with kindness? You're dreaming."
Lan Shuang spread out her five fingers and waved gently at them, her expression both arrogant and playful.
Seeing this, the Duke's wife was furious, and Lan Yuning felt even more nervous.
Ming Wang was in a trance for a moment.
"Sister, I know you're resentful, but I've done my best to treat you well. Everyone in the mansion has witnessed it. Why do you still hold it against me?"
Lan Yuning was almost unable to maintain her well-educated and well-mannered mask. What was wrong with this person? Wasn't he very stupid and good-tempered before?
It's only been a few days, how come he seems like a different person?
Lan Shuang stood up slowly, walked in front of Lan Yuning, and looked down at her. "Really? Are you being nice to me, or do you have other motives? You know it in your heart. I'm too lazy to care, but I'm not stupid. I'll put those inappropriate thoughts aside, otherwise -"
Lan Shuang looked towards Ming Wang with a hint of meaning, then chuckled softly, lifted Lan Yuning's little face with her index finger, and whispered, "I want you to look good."
After saying that, she lowered her chin in front of Lan Yuning's slightly fearful gaze and walked out quickly.
Seeing this, Biqing, who was guarding outside the main hall, hurriedly followed.
King Ming was slightly dumbfounded as he watched Lan Shuang walk away.
After killing everyone, she just left like that, leaving him among all these monsters and demons?
Prince Ming: "..."
Seeing the other three people looking at him, Prince Ming coughed lightly and suddenly laughed: "What a good show! Fortunately, I came, otherwise it would be such a pity."
The British man's face turned even greener.
Lan Yuning bit her lower lip, "Your Highness..."
The King of Ming didn't even look at her: "Yu Xiao——"
He shouted outside, and Yu Xiao came in immediately: "Prince."
"Push me out for a walk. I haven't even visited the Duke of England's mansion yet."
"yes."
Yu Xiao pushed the wheelchair out, and the Duke of England tried to struggle: "Your Highness, this old minister——"
Prince Ming raised his hand and said, "Your Excellency, there is no need to say more. I know what is going on."
After saying this, he walked straight past the Duke of England. The Duke of England didn't dare to stop him and could only watch him leave.
"What a thing!" The British Duchess was very angry. She pulled the handkerchief hard, feeling angry and aggrieved.
Lan Yuning felt that she couldn't let Prince Ming go like this, so she stood up and chased after him, "Dad, please try to persuade Mom. I'll go and explain to the prince."
"Hey, Yu Ning..."
…
"Your Highness, please stay!" Lan Yuning quickly caught up with King Ming and opened her arms to block him.
Ming Wang raised his eyes to look at her, "What are you doing?"
The tone was very impatient.
Lan Yuning hesitated to speak, finally kneeling down. "Please forgive me, Your Highness. Today, I wanted to bring our family together for a nice meal, to resolve our differences. I didn't expect... my parents have a problem with me, and I'm also unhappy. I'm stuck in the middle, and I really don't know what to do."
Her tears fell one by one, as round as pearls, looking very beautiful and pitiful.
Yu Xiao frowned. An unmarried girl behaved like this towards a man... Was she perhaps up to some bad intention?
Ming Wang also vaguely sensed something and followed up on her words, "It's quite difficult to do. After all, you've taken away the life that originally belonged to her. It's natural for her to hate you."
Lan Yuning gritted her teeth slightly upon hearing this, then sighed and said, "That's true. So even if my sister scolds me, I accept it. But my Lord, please don't let this alienate you from the Duke of Yingguo Mansion. We are all family now, and we should support each other."
She looked up at Ming Wang. Although she couldn't see anything because of the mask, she knew what a handsome face was underneath.
This man is really good at pretending. Judging from his words and actions today, who would have thought that he is such a secretive person?
Thinking of this, Lan Yuning became more determined to hold on to his thighs tightly.
"Host, are you really not going over? Lan Yuning is almost sticking to Ming Wang's legs. She's clearly trying to seduce him!"
888 shouted anxiously.
Lan Shuang hid behind the rockery and watched the show leisurely: "Why are you in such a hurry? Even if she wants to seduce him, it depends on whether the King is willing. Let me tell you, Xiao Baba, if men are unwilling, no one can seduce them, but if they are willing, women can hook them with just a flick of their hand."
She fanned the air with her hands and said nonchalantly, "So instead of worrying about this, why not just watch the fun? We can't make the decision anyway, so why bother making things difficult for ourselves?"
888: "That seems to make sense..."
While he was speaking, Lan Yuning took the opportunity to stand up and whispered quickly into Prince Ming's ear, "If Your Majesty is willing, I will always stand by your side."
Ming Wang narrowed his eyes and his breath stagnated for a moment.
Did this woman see something? Or did she know something?
He thought about it and felt it was impossible, so he didn't move. He smiled at her playfully and said, "Second Miss, are you going to throw yourself into my arms?"
Lan Yuning blushed and quickly stepped back. "Your Highness, please forgive me for my offense. If you want to find my sister, you can cross the bridge over here and go through the Chuihua Gate."
As she spoke, she remembered something and her expression became a little subtle.
The King of Ming deliberately asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Ah?" Lan Yuning forced a smile. "Nothing much. I was going to say this place is close to the Corner Gate, but it's been sealed because of my sister... That's all. Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll take my leave."
As if she realized that she had said something wrong, she left in a hurry with a heavy heart.
King Ming sneered. Lan Shuang knew that running away from marriage was a family disgrace, but she still insisted on bringing it up in front of him. It seemed that Lan Shuang was right. Lan Yuning was indeed not a good person.
