The fourth elder quickly responded, "Yes, yes, I'll have the Ice Heart Orchid placed in Siyuan's room right away. This time, we, the Chu family, are truly...truly grateful for Patriarch Lan's assistance... From now on, we, the Chu family, will follow the Lan family's lead. As long as Patriarch Lan gives the order, we, the Chu family, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Lan Ziye gave a perfunctory smile and walked out of the living room with the Third Young Master.
The fourth elder was extremely respectful and followed Lan Ziye and the Third Young Master closely until he escorted them out of the Chu family and into the carriage.
Sitting in the carriage, the Third Young Master laughed and teased, "The Chu family's Fourth Elder is truly a talent. With just a few words, he's already established a connection with our Lan family. Speaking of which family in the entire Lanxuan Continent wouldn't want to cling to our Lan family and establish a connection with them? Haha, how interesting!"
"The Chu family is already related to our Lan family!" Lan Ziye turned and looked at the Third Young Master seriously, saying, "From now on, the Chu family's affairs will be mine, Lan Ziye's!"
The Third Young Master was once again stunned. After a long while, he asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Sister, you were seriously injured this time. Could it be that someone from the Chu family had cast a spell on you?"
"Poisoned?" Lan Ziye was stunned. That was right. She was poisoned by Chu Xixuan. It was a love poison, a poison that could never be cured.
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The girl from the side branch named Lan Yue was found by her eldest brother the day after Chu Siyuan woke up and was sent to the Chu family.
For the past half month, Lan Yue has been taking care of Chu Siyuan at the Chu family.
At this time, in the teahouse owned by Grandma Tea in the back mountain of the Lan family, Lan Ziye was sitting alone at the table, leisurely sipping the new tea developed by Grandma Tea and eating delicious snacks.
With a creak, the bamboo door of the teahouse was opened from the outside. Lan Ziye looked up and saw that handsome face bathed in golden sunlight.
The face was fair, handsome, refreshing, and gentle, looking like an elegant gentleman, but the man exuded a coldness that did not match the face, especially those eyes that were like thousands of stars, which gave Lan Ziye an indescribable sense of familiarity.
Lan Ziye slowly stood up, holding the teacup. Just as he was about to ask, the man spoke first: "Ziye!"
That low, cold yet doting voice was like a thunderclap that struck Lan Ziye's mind. The cup in Lan Ziye's hand slipped and fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Lan Ziye was completely stunned.
Time stopped, and everything around turned into a silent black background, leaving only two people staring at each other blankly.
"Mr. Chu!" A crisp female voice suddenly came from outside the teahouse, breaking the silence and bringing Lan Ziye back to her senses. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lan Yue, a beautiful woman wearing a pink dress, standing next to Chu Siyuan.
What surprised Lan Ziye was that Lan Yue looked 70% similar to himself.
Lan Yue also saw Lan Ziye at the same time. She was stunned for a moment, then bent down and bowed, saying, "Master!"
Before Lan Ziye could react, Chu Siyuan beside him turned to look at Lan Yue, and said in a cold tone with disgust: "Why are you here?"
Lan Yue's face was instantly filled with grievance. She turned to look at Lan Ziye and said, "It's the Patriarch... the Patriarch..."
"Remember, this is my last warning: I have nothing to do with you, and I will not marry you. If you appear in front of me again, I will kill you!" Chu Siyu said in a grim tone.
