Madam Gu inadvertently spoke the truth: she loved her daughter, but compared to her son, the ancestral rules, and her own manager, it was still not worth it.
She mustered immense strength and gripped Lan Xiucheng tightly, refusing to let go.
Lan Xiucheng struggled a few times before squatting down on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, but he had clearly lost his edge.
Linghu Lan's eyes dimmed. Lan Qinyu seemed to be loved by her father, mother, and brother at home, but in reality, she was nothing more than a pet. She could share wealth and honor but not hardship. Once the family was in trouble, she would be the first to be sacrificed.
The reason for sacrificing her was particularly compelling: "Isn't loving you all for this day?"
No wonder they were willing to sell her for Lan Zichang's leg and for Lan Xiucheng's marriage.
Linghu Lan looked at her own body and sighed inwardly: two pitiful people.
Linghu Lan flicked out two curse talismans and then turned and left the suffocating place.
They were Lan Qinyu's parents and brothers, cowardly and selfish, but not truly wicked. She couldn't kill them to vent her anger, so she could only give them a little warning to make their lives less smooth.
The boy who had led the way remained standing to one side.
Linghu Lan lightly lifted her lotus-like steps, preparing to get into the sedan chair, silently counting ten, nine, eight...
Upon seeing the boy, she stopped, took his hand, and asked, "Have you ever ridden in a sedan chair?"
"without!"
"How about riding in the sedan chair with your sister?"
The boy was sucking on his fingers, his eyes sparkling.
Linghu Lan smiled and led him into the sedan chair.
The sedan chair bearers had just lifted the sedan chair.
The wall, which was perfectly fine, suddenly collapsed, crushing the weeping Gu Shi and Lan Xiucheng, who was crouching in the corner.
The two sedan bearers were stunned. They instinctively wanted to help, but then stopped in their tracks. The same thought flashed through their minds: This was the work of a shaman.
The two shuddered as they watched Gu Shi and Lan Xiucheng reach out from behind the earthen wall, their hands stained with blood, and heard faint cries for help. They chose to remain silent.
"Aunt...Grandma, where are you going now?"
"Go to the Meng family and meet that clever and capable Lady Ning."
"yes!"
The two sedan chair bearers steadily turned the sedan chair around and strode away from this place of trouble, both thinking the same thing: that capable Lady Ning is going to be in trouble.
Following the boy's directions, they arrived at the Meng family's residence in no time.
Before Linghu Lan could greet them, the sedan bearers knocked on the door and said, "Is anyone home? It's the Lady Wang from the Prince's Mansion who has come to visit Lady Meng."
The Meng family members all came out from their houses and courtyards.
Meng Zhuo has three brothers, and he is the youngest. Everyone calls him Meng San. The eldest and second wives have children, but Meng Zhuo has not yet had a child.
Hearing the sedan bearers' words and seeing their imposing manner, some people were happy while others were worried, wondering what the newcomers were doing.
Immediately, some unaware children ran to knock on Meng Zhuo's door. "Third Uncle, Third Aunt, why are you closing your door in broad daylight? Someone is looking for Third Aunt."
Meng Qingshan, the manager of the Meng family, and his wife Zhao exchanged a glance, both feeling puzzled. Wasn't this the woman who had been the subject of much gossip these past few days—Master Wang's great-aunt? Hadn't she just gone to the Lan family? Why was she here looking for Ning Yue again?
In the past, they only treated Ning Yue, their daughter-in-law, with a 70 out of 100, because Ning Yue was too honest and wouldn't say a word.
Now Ning Yue has changed. Not only does she keep the elderly couple happy and earn money for the family, but she also has a better relationship with Meng Zhuo.
