Sanqi interrupted Lan Jingtang: "Don't worry, Master, that woman is alive and well, she won't die."
Lan Jingtang raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you say you didn't ask around? How did you find out?"
I, Sanqi, was speechless.
Lan Jingtang was a smart man, and he keenly sensed that something was amiss.
Are you hiding something from me?
"No." Sanqi dared not look Lan Jingtang in the eye.
Lan Jingtang's eyes suddenly turned cold: "If you don't listen to me and want to leave with your uncle like everyone else, then you can leave too."
Sanqi panicked and knelt down, saying, "Master, please don't send Sanqi away. Sanqi has been with you since childhood. Even if everyone else leaves, Sanqi will not leave. Sanqi just doesn't want you to get hurt again. Sanqi has no ill intentions towards you."
There was another knock at the door.
"Who's knocking on the door so late?"
"Master, please don't mind. These past few days, the beggars from the north of the city have been acting strangely, actually coming to our door to beg. Sanqi will go and send them away in a bit."
Lan Jingtang naturally didn't believe it. He suddenly sensed that the person outside the door might be...
"Isn't it Xiaoyuan'er?"
"If you dare to lie again, you're leaving right now."
Sanqi had no choice but to nod and admit, "She came early this morning, but Sanqi wouldn't let her in. She's really annoying and won't leave no matter what I do, not even if I chase her away."
Lan Jingtang looked outside the door. A cold wind was howling outside, and it looked very cold.
“She’s a girl, and it’s so cold, how can you leave her outside? Go now and invite her in.”
"Don't worry about Sanqi. Master, please don't pay attention to her. With her around, you'll only suffer. Master can be much better."
Sanqi was very stubborn; he simply refused.
Lan Jingtang coldly observed, "Then I'll go myself."
He was still wrapped in thick bandages, but once he broke free of them, he tried to get out of bed.
Sanqi could almost hear the sound of Lan Jingtang's bones breaking again.
Sanqi watched, all feeling pain for their master.
He cried out, "Master, please don't do this! Sanqi, go now! Sanqi, I'll go right now!"
He hurriedly went out and ran to the door.
Sure enough, that figure was still sitting outside the door. She was curled up in a ball, freezing cold, but she still didn't leave.
Sanqi thought maliciously: Bad women will deliberately act pitiful to make their masters feel sorry for them.
He reluctantly called out to An Yuan'er, "Go inside."
An Yuan'er's eyes lit up, she got up from the ground and smiled: "Sanqi, thank you."
The girl smiled, her eyes crinkling, a smile that was very pleasant to look at. She had clearly waited outside for so long, yet she hadn't complained at all. Sanqi looked away: "Don't thank me, it was Master's idea."
"When you see the master later, you'd better not cause me any trouble. Just take a look and leave."
An Yuan'er did not directly agree to Sanqi's request, but said, "Sanqi, I am not a bad person. I have no ill intentions towards Lan Jingtang."
Sanqi snorted coldly and did not answer.
An Yuan'er followed Sanqi into the Lan residence. The Lan residence was very large, but it was empty, without even a servant.
An Yuan'er couldn't help but feel a little strange. Logically speaking, given Lan Jingtang's current status and position, his residence shouldn't be in such a desolate state.
"Sanqi, where are the others in the manor?"
“I left with the master a few days ago, and now it’s just the two of us here.”
The original people of the Lan family were all arranged by Lan Jingtang's eldest uncle. After breaking with Lan Jingtang, he took everyone with him. Lan Jingtang was seriously injured and didn't have time to recruit new people.
