Chapter 142 Wait, I'll go back and have someone send the banknote to you
As Lan Xiyue sat down in the carriage, she heard the sound of hurried horse hooves.
"Yueyue!"
Lan Xiyue quickly opened the car window and stuck her head out. Lan Shenye's figure came into view. He was riding a horse with a lot of bags hanging on it, making the horse look particularly bloated.
That look was both funny and full of love, making Lan Xiyue burst out laughing.
When the horse came to the carriage and stopped, Lan Shenye dismounted and said, "Yueyue, I bought some cakes and candies. The temple is poor, so you can take them with you as snacks."
Lan Xiyue leaned against the car window, her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled, "Thank you, brother~ But grandma also prepared a lot, the carriage is almost full."
Oh, this is family love, so good, she likes it. In her previous life, after the weird old man left, no one cared about her and she was very lonely. Now, it is different. Although that scumbag father is not very good, she still has a brother and a grandmother. They care about her and she is satisfied.
Lan Shenye frowned slightly when he heard this, but then relaxed again, "That's easy. I'll take Yueyue to Huguo Temple."
Lan Xiyue was stunned for a moment, then waved her hands repeatedly, with a hint of mischief and seriousness in her smile.
"No, I'm just kidding. The carriage that Grandma prepared is so big, so you don't have to make another trip. It's really troublesome."
Lan Shenye seemed a little unhappy, with a frown on his face. "I'm sending my own sister off, what's the big deal?"
Seeing this, Lan Xiyue stretched her head out and whispered, "Brother, grandma gave me two masters to protect me, so you can rest assured. If you send me, I will be worried about you coming back later. Why would I let them send you back again?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Shenye glanced at Yunlei and Yundian outside the carriage and nodded gloomily.
"Okay." He untied the bundles on the horse and handed them in one by one, then climbed back on the horse and said with a doting look, "I'm taking my sister out of the city, so don't refuse me, brother."
Lan Xiyue nodded slightly, waved to the old lady, and then reluctantly retracted her head into the car.
Lan Shenye nodded to the old lady and the others, then rode his horse in front, and Yun Lei followed closely behind in a carriage.
The old lady looked at the carriage going away with mixed feelings in her heart. She felt reluctant to let go of her granddaughter, but also worried. She hoped that Yueyue would be safe and return soon.
When they arrived at the city gate, the carriage slowly stopped. Lan Shenye was riding on a tall horse. He dismounted with a neat and graceful movement.
His eyes were full of tenderness and reluctance. "Yueyue, there's a picture book in your bag that I bought for you. You can use it to kill time when you're bored."
Lan Xiyue waved her hand and said, "Thank you, brother. Brother, you go back. I'm leaving now."
Lan Shenye nodded slightly, "I'll watch you go."
"Yunlei, Yundian, let's go."
Yun Lei outside the carriage responded by whipping the horse, and the horse seemed to sense its master's urgency, and galloped out in an instant, with the wheels rolling and raising a cloud of dust.
Lan Shenye stood there, watching the carriage go farther and farther away until it disappeared from the end of his sight. He turned around after a long time, leading the horse and slowly walking back. His back looked a little lonely.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the street, Bai Lianyan was quietly watching all this, her eyes gleaming with curiosity and confusion. She asked softly, "Where is Lan Xiyue going?"
Lan Lingrou, who was standing aside, sneered: "Go to Huguo Temple and chant sutras to help her dead mother to be reincarnated." Her words revealed her deep hatred for Lan Xiyue.
Upon hearing this, Bai Lianyan couldn't help but glance at Lan Lingrou a second time, a trace of doubt welling up in her heart: "Don't you two sisters have a very good relationship? Why, it seems like you hate Lan Xiyue?"
Lan Lingrou's expression instantly darkened. Her gaze was sharp as a knife, and her voice was cold: "I wish she would die! Bai Lianyan, let's work together!"
Bai Lianyan raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, and looked at Lan Lingrou with a half-smile: "You called me out to discuss cooperation? Cooperation on what?"
Lan Lingrou took a deep breath, as if to spit out all the hatred in her heart: "Cooperate to deal with Lan Xiyue. I know you hate Lan Xiyue too, don't you?"
Bai Lianyan looked at Lan Lingrou suspiciously, her eyes full of vigilance: "You two are sisters, how can I know if what you said is true? Are you setting me up on purpose?"
Seeing this, Lan Lingrou's expression darkened even further. She whispered, "Yesterday I gave Lan Xiyue a box of the latest rouge from the Treasure Pavilion. It's laced with red turtle poison. Lan Xiyue used to love the rouge from the Treasure Pavilion the most, but I don't know if she was wary of me, but it didn't work. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to help me deal with her."
When Bai Lianyan heard this, a look of disbelief and astonishment flashed across her face.
"Lan Xiyue, what on earth did she do? Why did you two, who used to be such good sisters, now wish she would die?"
Lan Lingrou frowned upon hearing this, her impatience evident in her words: "Just tell me, do you agree or not?"
Bai Lianyan nodded slightly, "Okay, then let's talk about how to cooperate."
Seeing this, Lan Lingrou whispered in Bai Lianyan's ear. Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, but every word was as sharp as a knife. After hearing this, Bai Lianyan's expression changed slightly, and then she nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and give you the banknotes immediately, but you'd better not lie to me, otherwise..." There was an unquestionable threat in her tone.
Lan Lingrou curled up the corner of her mouth in a sneer, thinking to herself: If the storehouse in the mansion had not been robbed and I was short of money, why would I look for her?
"If you're worried, you can send your maid to follow you." She said lightly, as if she had already expected Bai Lianyan to have some concerns.
Bai Lianyan glanced at the maid who was hanging her head beside her and gave her a subtle look.
The maid understood instantly and walked quickly to Lan Lingrou's side.
"Wait, I'll go back and ask someone to send the banknotes to you." After Bai Lianyan said this, she turned around and left in a hurry with another maid.
Lan Lingrou stood there, looking at Bai Lianyan's receding figure, then turned and left.
