It has been said that it is extremely foolish to try to explain a lie when it has been exposed.
An Yuan'er shrugged and simply admitted, "I came with you."
Sanqi took a few steps back. It turned out that he was the one who had been kept in the dark and was the most foolish one.
However, An Yuan'er quickly added, "So what? You don't want to be indebted to me, but I'm going to help you anyway."
"Young Master Lan, you possess a proud spirit. Penniless and starving, you still resolutely refused my offer. However, didn't you just say you wanted to seek refuge with relatives? This Shengjing is vast, and without money, one cannot move an inch. I wonder how many days you think you can hold out?"
An Yuan'er's words all hit the nail on the head.
Lan Jingtang also fell silent. Even the clinic's servant could treat him with such contempt; he had come on a mission, and had not yet repaid his debt of gratitude, so he absolutely could not die like this.
An Yuan'er continued to tempt him, "Instead of accepting other people's kindness, Young Master Lan, why not accept my help? I have no ill intentions towards you, Young Master."
Lan Jingtang was still hesitating when An Yuan'er gave him no chance to think. She had to strike while the iron was hot.
An Yuan'er led him away from the dilapidated temple, found an inn in the capital to settle him in, and left them some silver.
Lan Jingtang declined for a long time, but An Yuan'er only reluctantly accepted it after saying it was a loan.
An Yuan'er completed the entire process quickly and decisively.
After everything was settled, before An Yuan'er left, Lan Jingtang stopped her: "Young Master An has helped me so much, I wonder what Young Master An wants from me?"
An Yuan'er chuckled: "Who knows? Maybe you're not the person I'm looking for at all. But even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, I'll still give it a try."
When you first meet, there's still a lack of trust between you. If you're too direct or frank, it only increases suspicion.
Fortunately, Lan Jing Tang is already in Shengjing, so there will be plenty of opportunities to learn about it gradually in the future.
A descendant of the Lan family? Lan Jingtang, appearing out of nowhere again, what a coincidence!

It was already dark.
An Yuan'er realized that she and Guo Guo had been separated for some time, and if she didn't find her soon, Guo Guo would start to worry.
Guoguo and An Yuan'er got separated. Little did she know that An Yuan'er had run off to a dilapidated temple outside the city. She searched the streets of Shengjing several times but couldn't find An Yuan'er anywhere.
Miss is missing, and Guoguo can't bear the responsibility. In a panic, Guoguo returns to the palace to seek help from Yi Chenli.
At this moment, Yi Chenli was drinking medicine in his room. He had been practicing too hastily lately, and it had caused some backlash. So he was taking some restorative medicine regularly. He was afraid that An Yuan'er would worry, so he always drank it secretly. When he saw the flustered Guo Guo, he asked her a few simple questions, and without saying a word, he followed Guo Guo out to look for someone.
Li Gui said from behind, "Master, it'll be faster to find Old Yi. Remember, you haven't used your internal energy after taking the medicine. Also, the weather is getting cloudy; it'll rain later..."
Li Gui kept talking, but Yi Chenli didn't wait for him to finish speaking before following Guo Guo out of the palace.
An Yuan'er inquired on the street for a long time and found out that Guo Guo might have already gone back.
There was no time to lose, so I ran to the vicinity of the palace gate, only to have my lower abdomen suddenly cramp violently, a chill spreading through my abdomen.
"It hurts!"
An Yuan'er clutched her lower abdomen, her lips turning pale with pain, and she felt a surge of energy beneath her.
This feeling, both familiar and strange, made An Yuan'er crouch down in pain.
