All the servants shuddered. Young Master Chu hadn't been home for a few days. How could they have forgotten how majestic and terrifying he was? They were still considering whether to offend Miss Jin or not. They were so stupid that they were actually seeking death! ⊙︿⊙
Yu's mother reacted and hurriedly scolded, "What are you doing? Hurry up!"
Several servants quickly and efficiently prepared chairs, dishes and chopsticks for Lan Ziye.
Lan Ziye reluctantly sat down next to Chu Xixuan. He looked up and met Jin Ruoxi's resentful eyes. He sighed inwardly, and the hatred was stirred again. (???︿???)
"I heard that you are the long-lost daughter of the Lan family. I wonder... which branch of the Lan family's child you are? Why are you so foolish as to let such a precious girl wander around outside?" The old man said intentionally or unintentionally during the meal.
Lan Ziye's life experience has always been a mystery.
There are many speculations about the sudden appearance of a daughter in the Lan family. The most common version is that she is an illegitimate daughter. Another more popular version is that Lan Ziye is not a daughter of the Lan family at all, but a daughter that Lan Yan specially chose to recognize in order to marry into the five major families and consolidate the Lan family's position.
In general, Lan Ziye is either not of legitimate standing or of illegitimate bloodline.
Jin Ruoxi stared at Lan Ziye as if she was enjoying a good show. She wanted to see how Lan Ziye would answer!
A woman of unknown identity and illegitimate bloodline is not worthy of standing beside Brother Chu. Grandpa will never allow Brother Chu to associate with such a woman. Even Second Brother will not be allowed to have anything to do with such a woman.
Now all she has to do is wait for Lan Ziyebei to return to his original form!
Lowly people are lowly! (∩???∩)
Lan Ziye ate her food very gracefully, taking small bites. She said slowly, "I don't know either, but the head of the family said I'm the daughter of the Lan family, registered under the name Lan Jia, and I've already been offered sacrifices to the ancestors and entered into the family tree!" Having said this, she raised her head and looked at the old man with neither arrogance nor servility, saying, "No matter where I was born or what my background is, as long as my name is in the family tree, I'm a legitimate daughter of the Lan family. As for who made me wander around, it doesn't seem that important!"
The old man laughed and said, "That's right, the children of noble families all look at the family tree. As long as it says it's a legitimate child, then it's a legitimate child!"
Lan Ziye smiled faintly and continued eating.
She was a bit of a slut on weekdays, but as the head of the first family, she had learned all the necessary etiquette thoroughly without failing at all. She was more than capable of handling such occasions, and she looked much more decent and generous than Jin Ruoxi.
The old man looked at Lan Ziye like this and felt puzzled: This child doesn't look like a wild girl who grew up in the city at all!
Looking at the increasingly dazzling Lan Ziye, Jin Ruoxi was so angry that she wanted to bite her teeth to pieces.
Lan Ziye was clearly a lowly commoner, a small-time thug, a illegitimate child who couldn't even be seen in public. How come she hadn't made a fool of herself until now? Even when asked such a question, she didn't feel embarrassed at all. Why, why on earth was this?
From childhood to adulthood, she was the only princess who was high above everyone else. All the outstanding men had to revolve around her. She was recognized by everyone as the future mistress of the Chu family. The only one in the entire Lanxuan Continent who could be worthy of her was Chu Xixuan.
She would never allow such a lowly and lowly Lan Ziye to steal her glory and her brother Chu!
