Chapter 251 Don’t Say Such Things Again
Lan Zhenrong sat down, still angry. He had never worried about money before, but now someone came to his house to collect debts, and so many people were watching and pointing fingers at him.
Lan Zhenrong's chest heaved with rage. He slammed the tea table and roared, "Why don't you hurry up and urge Lan Xiyue to come?"
When the maid outside the door heard Lan Zhenrong's roar, her body trembled and she hurriedly ran towards Xilingyuan.
Xilingyuan
Chu Xia looked at the housekeeper, who was running around anxiously, and said, "Housekeeper, the young lady is taking a bath now. There's no point in you worrying."
The housekeeper stopped and glared at Chuchun, "Why did the young lady take a bath right after returning? The master and the others are still waiting for her. Go and urge her to go."
Chu Xia said, "Housekeeper, I've already gone to urge her. It's no use for you to be anxious. The young lady is very afraid of heat. She came back sweating all over. We have to wait until the young lady finishes her bath!"
At this moment, a maid ran over breathlessly, "Housekeeper...where is the young lady? The master is urging her to come over quickly."
The housekeeper flicked his sleeves and said angrily, "The young lady is taking a bath."
The maidservant exclaimed "Ah?" The master was getting angry. The eldest lady was actually taking a bath?
The butler waved his hand and said, "You wait here for the young lady. I will go back and report to the master." After saying that, the butler turned around and left.
Chu Xia asked in confusion, "Why is the master calling the young lady to the hall so urgently?"
The maid lowered her head and said nothing.
Chuxia and Chuchun turned and walked in.
Lan Xiyue was bathing leisurely when Chu Xia said at the door, "Miss, the master has sent someone to urge you to go to the front hall again."
Lan Xiyue opened her eyes and said lazily, "Don't worry about him."
Chuchun and Chuxia looked at each other, feeling helpless.
Until Lan Xiyue finished her shower and came out.
Chuxia wiped her hair, and Chuchun came in with iced sour plum soup, "Miss, Madam Liang made some sour plum soup and put it in ice for a while. It's most comfortable to drink now. It also needs your method to make ice."
Lan Xiyue took the bowl and took a big sip. "It's ice cold, so comfortable."
Chuchun frowned, "Miss, the master seems to have something urgent to ask you, and he has come to urge you several times."
Lan Xiyue sneered, "What urgent matter? Most likely they want me to ask for money, or ask me to go to my grandparents' house to borrow money."
Chu Xia asked doubtfully, "Miss, how do you know?"
Lan Xiyue sipped her sour plum soup, speechless. How did she know? She'd run into Lan Zhenrong at the gambling house, and she knew he'd lost money and borrowed money from the gambling house. Lan Zhenrong probably didn't know the owner of the gambling house was the Regent.
Take advantage of today to sever ties with him and leave the Marquis' Mansion.
Lan Xiyue finished a bowl of iced sour plum soup, then slowly stood up and walked out.
As soon as Lan Xiyue stepped into the hall, everyone's eyes were directed at her.
"Big sister is becoming more and more arrogant, but she keeps us waiting." Lan Jiaoyun's voice was sharp and harsh, with a hint of subtle jealousy and provocation, and it was difficult to hide the harshness and gloom in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue just glanced at her nonchalantly and said, "I didn't ask you to wait, but you chose to wait on your own. Do you blame me?" There was a hint of mockery and disdain in her tone, which made Lan Jiaoyun speechless for a moment and her face turned ashen.
At this time, Lan Zhenrong finally spoke, "Yuer, go and borrow 20,000 taels from your grandmother for emergency use in the mansion." His words were short and direct, leaving no room for negotiation.
Lan Shenye frowned when he heard this. "Father, don't you only owe Mingyu Gambling House 10,000 taels? Why do you want Yueyue to borrow 20,000?"
Lan Zhenrong's face instantly darkened, and he shouted angrily, "What do you mean by 10,000 taels? I clearly borrowed 5,000 taels, and now they want me to pay them back 10,000 taels. Just think of it as giving them 10,000 taels so they don't come to make trouble again. The other 10,000 taels is borrowed for daily expenses."
Lan Xiyue walked over to Lan Shenye and sat down, with a teasing look in her eyes, "Hey, when did father go gambling? Tsk, you have bad luck, father, how come you lost so much money?" Her tone was relaxed and teasing, but it made Lan Zhenrong's face even uglier.
Seeing this, the old lady quickly spoke up to smooth things over, "Yuer, your father was just confused for a moment. Go to the Duke of Huguo's mansion and ask your grandmother to borrow 20,000 taels to help the mansion overcome its difficulties. Besides, the Duke of Huguo's mansion doesn't lack this little money."
Lan Xiyue heard this and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips. "Father, why don't you go and borrow it yourself? Father is the son-in-law of the Protector of the Country."
"Lan Xiyue!" Lan Zhenrong finally couldn't help but burst out with a roar, "What's your attitude?" His eyes flashed with anger, as if he wanted to devour Lan Xiyue.
Lan Xiyue simply shrugged and said calmly, "What's my attitude? It's not like I lost the money at the gambling house, so why should I borrow it?"
Lan Zhenrong glared at Lan Xiyue with his eyes blazing, "How dare you disobey me?"
Lan Xiyue said indifferently, "Well, I did disobey you. So what? If you want to sever the father-daughter relationship and kick me out of the mansion, just write a letter of severance and I'll pack up and leave immediately."
Hurry, hurry, she can't wait to sever ties with them and leave this broken mansion. She doesn't want to stay here anymore.
The old lady's face was stern. "Yu'er, what nonsense are you talking about? You are the eldest daughter of our Marquis' Mansion. What do you mean by severing ties with us? From now on, don't say such things again."
Lan Shenye looked at her distressedly, "Yueyue~"
"Brother, didn't I tell you to have a good rest?" Lan Xiyue glared at Yun Lei behind her unhappily after having just had surgery on his legs, why did he come out to see such a mess?
Yun Lei lowered his head and tried to persuade him.
Lan Shenye shook his head and said, "I came here on my own initiative. Don't blame Yun Lei."
Lan Xiyue curled her lips and looked at the broken porcelain pieces beside Lan Shenye, her eyes turning cold.
Lan Shenye noticed Lan Xiyue's aura suddenly turned cold. He glanced at the fragments beside him and instantly understood the reason why Yueyue's aura suddenly turned cold. He pulled her sleeve and shook his head at her imperceptibly. After all, he was their father. He didn't want Yueyue to clash with her father again and get a reputation for being unfilial. Yueyue was now engaged to the Regent, and Yueyue's reputation was not good. If she was rumored to be unfilial, the Regent would...
If Mo Liyuan knew what Lan Shenye was thinking at this moment, he would only say coldly: You think too much, he likes Yue'er no matter what she is like.
Lan Xiyue stood up suddenly, looked at Lan Zhenrong coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Father, my eldest brother's legs were broken. Did you care? Can't you see how weak he is? Yunlei, Xiaomuzi, take my brother back."
Lan Shenye sighed, "Yueyue...I..." won't leave.
Lan Xiyue turned to look at him and interrupted, "Brother, go back and rest. I'll be here."
