Chapter 126 Where are you going again?
Lan Xiyue couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart: "What's going on today? Lan Jiaoyun just left, and Lan Lingrou is here again. They didn't take the wrong medicine today, so why did they both come to her hospital?" She secretly complained in her heart, but did not show it at all, just quietly watching Lan Lingrou approach step by step.
Lan Lingrou approached with a gentle smile on her face and called softly, "Big Sister..."
Before she finished her words, Lan Xiyue stretched out her hand and gently fanned it in front of her face, interrupting her: "Lan Lingrou, stop. Yes, you have to keep this distance. I'm afraid of being infected with unclean diseases."
Lan Lingrou's face turned pale in an instant. She widened her eyes, her voice trembling and nervous: "You...what unclean disease did you say? What do you know?" A trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she forced herself to calm down, trying to hide the waves in her heart.
Lan Xiyue's lips curled up into a smile that seemed like a half-smile. She slowly stood up and stared at Lan Lingrou with a sharp gaze: "Why are you so nervous?"
Lan Lingrou's heart was boiling with hatred, yet she forced herself to remain calm. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She glanced at Shiwen, who was standing beside her, and took the exquisite box from her. She handed it to Lan Xiyue, "Big Sister, Grandmother's birthday is in a few days. I went to the Treasure Pavilion yesterday and bought the latest rouge. I thought I'd buy a box for you too, so I brought it here specially for you."
Lan Xiyue gave a look, and Chuchun stepped forward to take the box and handed it to Lan Xiyue.
Lan Xiyue took the box, her eyes wandering over it, a hint of an ambiguous smile playing on the corner of her mouth: "Lan Lingrou, are you so kind as to give me rouge? You didn't add anything to it, did you?"
Lan Lingrou hated her to death. This bitch, didn't she like the rouge from the Treasure Pavilion the most in the past? Why is she so difficult now? How abominable! However, she still maintained that gentle smile on her face, with a bit of grievance and helplessness in her tone: "Sister, what are you talking about? Didn't you like the rouge from the Treasure Pavilion the most in the past? Recently, the Treasure Pavilion released the latest rouge, and I bought two boxes, thinking that we sisters would each have one box."
Lan Xiyue shook her head gently. "Second sister, I'm not saying anything harsh on you, but don't you know that we're barely making ends meet? You're still so extravagant, going to the Treasure Pavilion to buy rouge. You're so ignorant."
Lan Lingrou felt even more hatred in her heart, but she still forced herself to hold it back.
She lowered her eyes slightly, hiding her inner anger and resentment, and her voice was filled with a bit of grievance and helplessness: "Sister, the money I spent on buying rouge didn't cost the family money, it's all my own."
She pawned a lot of jewelry to get enough money to buy rouge at the Treasure Pavilion. "Bitch, it's all your fault that I'm like this now. I want you dead!"
Lan Xiyue raised her eyebrows, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Oh? It was I who misunderstood Second Sister. In that case, I will accept Second Sister's kindness."
Lan Lingrou sneered in her heart, but still maintained a gentle smile on her face: "Sister, I won't disturb you anymore, I'll take my leave first." After saying that, she bowed, turned around and left the courtyard with Shiwen.
As soon as Lan Lingrou left, Chuchun could no longer suppress her surprise and exclaimed, "Miss, that's the rouge from the Treasure Pavilion. The Second Miss is so generous this time!" After that, she looked at her young lady in confusion, her eyes full of puzzlement.
Lan Xiyue raised her eyebrows slightly and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but there was a hint of imperceptible coldness hidden in that smile.
"She hates me so much, how could she be so kind?" she muttered to herself, a tone of mockery and disdain in her voice. Then she turned and walked into the inner room. Chuchun hurriedly followed, scratching her head in confusion.
Next to the bronze mirror, Lan Xiyue slowly opened the exquisite rouge box, gently fiddled with the rouge in the box with her slender fingers, smelled it, and frowned slightly.
"Huh? I didn't notice anything wrong. That's impossible." She muttered to herself, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Chuchun stood aside, watching her young lady in a daze, and she felt even more curious. When had the Second Young Lady ever been so generous before? She only gave away things she didn't want, and the young lady always treasured them.
After a careful inspection, Lan Xiyue finally shook her head with a look of boredom on her face, and then threw the rouge box aside.
Chuchun's eyelids twitched when she saw this. The rouge in the Treasure Pavilion was so precious, and it was really heartbreaking for her young lady to dispose of it so casually.
"Miss, this is rouge from the Treasure Pavilion! Why did you just throw it aside like that?"
Lan Xiyue glanced at her, a playful smile playing on her lips. "You look so nervous. Do you like it? I'll go to the Treasure Pavilion and buy a few boxes for you and Chuxia. They're from Lan Lingrou, so we don't need them!"
Although she didn't find anything unusual about Yanzhi, Lan Xiyue always felt something was wrong.
When Chuchun heard that the young lady wanted to buy rouge from the Treasure Pavilion for herself and Chuxia, her eyes suddenly lit up with joy.
"Miss, are you serious? The rouge from the Treasure Pavilion is so valuable!" she shouted excitedly, her tone full of excitement and anticipation.
"Of course! Your young lady has plenty of money now!" Lan Xiyue smiled slightly. She picked up the rouge box and handed it to Chuchun, "Throw this away. I will buy you something later." After that, she turned around and walked to the small couch and lay down. She picked up a medical book and started flipping through it.
After an unknown amount of time, she felt sleepy and closed her eyes in a daze, falling into a deep sleep.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded, and Chu Xia's crying voice rang out from outside the door: "Miss, it's not good!"
This sudden call was like thunder, waking Lan Xiyue up suddenly. She blinked in confusion and looked at Chu Xia who looked anxious, "What's wrong?"
Chu Xia's eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs: "I followed Xiao Denglong to send Xiao Zhen back, but when I entered the house, I saw that it was smashed to pieces. Xiao Zhen's grandfather was lying on the ground, covered in blood. He was already... dead. Xiao Zhen vomited blood and fell into a coma after seeing his grandfather's miserable state."
When Lan Xiyue heard this, her face changed suddenly and she sat up abruptly.
"Come on, take me to see Xiaozhen."
As soon as Lan Xiyue walked to the gate, she ran into Lan Zhenrong.
Lan Zhenrong said in a serious tone, "Yueyue, where are you going again? Young ladies like you in that mansion have no manners at all. As a girl, you should avoid going out all day."
Lan Xiyue stopped and looked at Lan Zhenrong with a calm and deep gaze. She said calmly, "Father, you should be more careful when you walk. Look at your face, it's so swollen and bruised. You must have fallen so hard. Father, you are not young anymore. What would have happened if you had been hurt?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Zhenrong's face turned pale, he snorted coldly, and left in a huff.
Lan Xiyue ignored Lan Zhenrong's departure. She turned to look at Chu Xia and said softly, "Let's go."
Then, the two of them got on the carriage, and Little Lantern drove the carriage, galloping out of the city.
Xiaozhen lives in Shihui Village outside the city. They usually make a living by growing vegetables and raising chickens, and then selling them in the city for some money.
It was also because a few days ago, Xiaozhen and her grandfather went to the city together to sell some chickens raised by themselves that they met Bai Jinbao. Bai Jinbao saw that Xiaozhen was pretty and good-looking, so he snatched Xiaozhen into his house on the street.
When they arrived at the place, the carriage stopped. Lan Xiyue and Chu Xia got off the carriage and went straight into the house.
The room was in a mess, with tables, chairs and benches overturned on the ground, broken porcelain scattered all over the floor, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.
Xiaozhen's grandfather fell to the ground, his face distorted and covered in blood, and he was already dead.
Xiaozhen was lying in the corner, her face as pale as paper, with blood still on the corner of her mouth, and she was unconscious.
Lan Xiyue frowned, feeling very uncomfortable. She slowly walked to Xiaozhen, gently stroked her cheek, her eyes full of pity.
