Ever since he learned that Ning Yue had sabotaged his marriage, he was quite angry and didn't want to go through with the engagement anymore. He chased after his future father-in-law's family, got his sister's money back, and then called off the engagement.
Having gone through all this, his spirit has been worn down. Now he just wants to fulfill his wish and make himself feel better.
Linghu Lan walked to the door. She did not wear the veil from that day and faced Lan Xiucheng with her true face.
Lan Xiucheng saw her at a glance, his eyes widened, and he was extremely shocked.
He stared at Linghu Lan's face, his heart filled with doubt and uncertainty.
My sister isn't dead?
Or did my sister come back from the dead?
Linghu Lan walked up to him with a smile and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
"Are you Lan Qinyu?" Lan Xiucheng asked in a trembling voice.
Linghu Lan revealed a strange smile, "You mean me, right?"
Lan Xiucheng was so shocked that he took three steps back.
no!
This is not his sister.
Ning Yue's face suddenly flashed into his mind. It was a case of resurrection through possession.
His sister's body was possessed by a ghost.
Linghu Lan took a step forward and sneered, "Did you come here to pay your respects to me? I've already come out, why don't you pay your respects?"
"A ghost!" Lan Xiucheng shouted, then turned and ran.
I no longer cared about asking any questions like "one, two, three".
Linghu Lan watched his retreating figure, shook her head, and sighed silently for Lan Qinyu.
Lan Qinyu can no longer rely on her family to stand up for her in this lifetime.
She turned back to her room, lay down on the bed, waved her hand, and didn't call Qiu Xiang to serve her.
Qiu Xiang was somewhat bewildered when she came out.
She thought she was doing it for her great-aunt's good, since her great-aunt was a girl from the Lan family.
Isn't Lan Xiucheng her brother?
Although everyone says that her great-aunt is possessed by a ghost and is no longer the concubine the master originally married, she herself served her great-aunt closely and saw it clearly. Her great-aunt was clearly a human being, not a ghost at all; it was just those people making up stories about her.
With this in mind, she thought Linghu Lan was angry and that's why she refused to see him, which is why she brought up Lan Qinyu in that way. She never expected that the outcome would be so unexpected.
She had thought she would witness a brother-sister reunion today, but she never expected that the brother would be scared away.
Qiu Xiang was lost in thought and wandered around the garden for a while. When she came to her senses, she realized that she had gone the wrong way. When she passed a rockery, she heard people talking inside. She didn't want to meddle and was about to walk away when she kicked a stone and made some noise. A man and a woman hurriedly came out of the rockery.
Qiu Xiang turned around and saw that the man was a servant in the mansion, while the woman was Madam Tu San Niang. Both of them were disheveled and their faces were flushed.
Although Qiu Xiang was young, she understood what she had seen, and blushed, hurriedly walking away.
Tu Sanniang panicked and urged the servant, "Quickly stop her! If she tells anyone, we're both doomed."
The servant was even more anxious. He quickly dressed and rushed to chase after Qiu Xiang.
Qiu Xiang, wearing a skirt, couldn't run fast and was soon caught up by the servant.
That servant dared to have an affair with the mistress of the house, which showed he had some guts. He thought that since he had been caught today, and the girl seemed easily frightened, he might accidentally let something slip and ruin his life.
Thinking of this, he decided to go all the way and grabbed Qiu Xiang, dragged her to the water's edge, and pushed her head into the water.
