"Enough! Take out the crystal bottle." Zhong Qin had watched the entire exchange between the two. Although she didn't know why Zai Zai insisted, since Zhong Yan had said so, she must have her own reasons.
As her maternal grandmother, she always had to stand by her side.
Bai Zhixuan was furious, but Zhong Yan had already pried open her palm, snatched the glass bottle, and smashed it on the ground. With a 'bang', it shattered into pieces.
Zhong Yan watched, and her tension lessened considerably. To be more precise, it was only when she saw the moment it shattered that she truly felt that her past life was gone, and that in this life, with her watching over her, her grandmother would never fall into that state again.
"You can leave now."
"Zhong Yan, you just wait!" Bai Zhixuan's gloomy gaze swept across the faces of the grandmother and granddaughter, her tone dark and menacing: "From now on, I will never let the Zhong family get away with this."
“Even better!” Zhong Yan responded calmly. Anyway, she didn’t intend to let her off so easily. She might as well see how far Bai Zhixuan could grow.
Presumably, falling from a great height to the clouds would be even more exhilarating.
Zhong Qin was somewhat worried. Zhi Xuan usually seemed quite gentle, so why had she changed so suddenly? This feeling was really awkward!
“Zhong Yan…”
“Grandma, she’s not on our side. No matter what we do, it’s the same.” Zhong Yan said meaningfully before turning to arrange for the spirits.
She was curious about where Bai Zhixuan had found so many new souls.
This is not normal!
Zhong Qin sighed and said nothing more. Looking at Zhong Yan's well-behaved manner, she felt much more at ease. Perhaps every young person has their own path to walk.
She could only look after her own granddaughter.
After Zhong Yan had arranged the soul, she led the others to solemnly declare to Heaven and Earth that from this day forward, Zhong Yan would be the sole heir of the Zhong family.
Of course, the colorful stones also played a significant role.
Night deepened, and everything around the courtyard fell into a deep sleep. Occasionally, a few barks of dogs could be heard from not far away, but they quickly subsided. A furtive figure crept over and walked to the secluded woodshed, which, upon closer inspection, was the very place where Gao Jun was imprisoned.
He kept babbling and complaining all day, and all the two women gave him was a bowl of rice porridge. Heaven knows, he was almost starving to death!
Now, their eyes light up immediately at the slightest sound.
"Who are you?"
"The person who saved you," Bai Zhixuan's voice rang out, tinged with a hint of displeasure. "Hurry up and jump out the window! There's a dog hole in the wall; crawl out yourself."
"Why did you help me?" Gao Jun asked疑惑地, "You're that little girl from earlier today, right? I saw you..."
"Stop talking nonsense. If you're not leaving, you can stay and deal with them yourself." Bai Zhixuan gritted her teeth, disliking anyone mentioning her relationship with the Zhong family.
That would be a disgrace to me.
Gao Jun pondered for a moment, then quickly climbed out. Judging from the commotion they'd caused during the day, this girl wasn't his enemy. In that case, he might as well go with the flow.
