Upon hearing this, Jia Lan suddenly calmed down: "Haha, she was just lying to you."
"You bunch of idiots!"
Jiang Wan was extremely anxious: "Lan-ge'er!"
Jia Lan said smugly, "I'm her child, didn't you know that? Humph!"
"Hehe." Shen Qiyin laughed as well: "Of course, I didn't know."
Her clear eyes flickered as she looked at Chen Cang: "Father probably doesn't know either, does he?"
Shen Cang frowned deeply, his gaze towards Jiang Wan filled with suspicion.
Their eyes met, and Jiang Wan shook her head helplessly: "That's just childish nonsense. How can you believe it, sir? Have you forgotten what I told you before? I had my reasons."
Shen Cang naturally hadn't forgotten.
Things I once firmly believed in, I now find myself full of doubt about.
He was lost in thought when he suddenly heard a "snap" sound, which startled him back to his senses.
It turned out that Shen Qiyin had lit a small whip at some point and threw it right at Jia Lan's feet, startling him so much that he let out a loud "Aow!"
With a wicked smile on her face, she slowly lit another cigarette.
Jiang Wan rushed over and hugged Jia Lan tightly in her arms: "Second Miss is an adult, why do you have to argue with a child?"
"Besides, Lan Ge'er didn't mean to hurt you. He just thought it was funny and was just teasing you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiyin suddenly smiled: "Are you kidding me? Sure."
"I was just joking with him, wasn't I?"
"Look how happy he is."
Jia Lan cried loudly.
No matter how Jiang Wan tried to coax him, she couldn't get through to him. In the end, she could only change her tune and say, "No, no! Second Miss, please stop! I beg you, please let us go."
She spoke pitifully, and two servants among the onlookers felt compassion for her, thinking that it was too petty and heartless for Shen Qiyin to be so vindictive towards a child.
Shen Qiyin could guess what they were thinking just by looking at their expressions, but she still did things her own way.
You might feel sorry for Jiang Wan and her son, but that's because the firecrackers didn't hit them!
After throwing the second whip, Shen Qiyin suddenly turned her back and said, "I can't see it anymore, so stay away if you don't want to get hit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone scattered like birds and beasts.
Xianglan watched this scene and felt that her mammary glands had been cleared.
In life, if you don't go crazy and torment others, you'll end up draining yourself by their madness.
Their second daughter does this very well.
She felt that their second young lady had the kind of mentality that if someone harmed her, she would kill the person who egged her on.
Although their moral bottom line is weak, their ability to take down scumbags is astonishing!
Look how scared that brat is...
Tsk tsk tsk, he even peed his pants.
In fact, it wasn't just Jia Lan who was afraid; Jiang Wan was afraid too.
She originally thought that even if Shen Qiyin whipped Jia Lan, her purpose was only to intimidate the mother and son, and that she would be careful in her actions. Who knew she would be so crazy!
The firecrackers crackled and popped, scattering countless snowflakes that covered the mother and daughter.
Jia Lan wet his pants again, and they clung to his body, sticking wet. A cold wind blew, and he sneezed several times.
In the end, whether from the cold or from being frightened, she fainted.
Shen Qiyin then reluctantly stopped.
She flicked her sleeves and, as Jiang Wan passed by carrying the child, said, "I think this child has a temper; he might come looking for revenge someday."
"Don't forget what I said, Aunt."
"I'll treat him the way he treats me."
In that case, she was starting to look forward to seeing what other mischief this little brat would get up to.
Jiang Wan's expression stiffened: "...I've got it."
"besides……"
"Is there anything else, Miss Second, to say?"
“My cloak was burned, Auntie, please remember to pay me back.”
"……yes."
Jiang Wan readily agreed, but in her heart she was thinking that she would probably have to sell some of her jewelry.
That bastard Shen Cang has been keeping a tight grip on the money in the manor ever since Shen Guangzong died, preventing her from getting a single penny. He's utterly despicable!
As if things weren't bad enough, Jia Lan fell ill.
The family has Shen Cang, a readily available doctor, so the consultation fee is saved, but getting the medicine according to the prescription still costs money.
Jiang Wan asked Chen Cang for it, but he replied, "Don't you have any yourself?"
Jiang Wan almost laughed out of anger at him.
She thought to herself, "If I had it, would I be asking you for it?"
He had given her a lot of money before, but she needed to buy clothes and jewelry, cosmetics, and food and toys for Jia Lan.
There was also a sum of money for her distant aunt; otherwise, why would she take care of her child?
Seeing that she couldn't come up with any money, Shen Cang, whether he didn't believe she didn't have any or for some other reason, said, "I don't think Lan Ge'er's condition is that serious. He just has a slight fever. Let's give him some wine to cool him down first."
Jiang Wan couldn't believe that a human being could say such a thing!
But thinking about it, it makes sense. He can be so heartless to his own children, let alone Jia Lan, an outsider.
But she had to try her best; there was no reason to just watch the child burn with fever. So she said, "Isn't the second young lady... seeing patients at the clinic right there..."
"Sir, could you please ask her to bring back some medicinal herbs?"
"What did you say?" Shen Cang even doubted his own ears, not even suspecting that Jiang Wan was having such a wild idea: "You still want her to help you get the medicine back? You're really out of your mind."
