Chapter 269: You will do anything to kill me!
The hurried footsteps of the housekeeper broke the silence. He walked in and whispered, "Master, the eldest lady is back."
Lan Zhenrong narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, revealing a hint of deepness. "Let her come to the study."
The butler responded, turned around and left quickly. The study door closed again, leaving Lan Zhenrong alone. He was silent for a moment and ordered the servants to prepare tea and snacks.
Soon, Lan Xiyue entered the study. She looked at Lan Zhenrong, who was standing by the window in a daze, and walked to a chair nearby and sat down. Her tone was somewhat nonchalant, "What do you want from me?"
Lan Zhenrong came back to his senses and looked at Lan Xiyue with a complicated expression. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. Finally, he sighed and said slowly, "How can a girl like you live out here?"
Lan Xiyue's eyes flashed with disdain when she heard this. She said calmly, "If you called me here just to say this, there's no need. I won't listen even if you say it."
Lan Zhenrong was choked and speechless for a moment. He glared at Lan Xiyue and was about to explode, but she looked calm. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and said slowly, "Yuer, your mother passed away early. Over the years, your father has been devoted to officialdom and neglected to discipline you, allowing you to develop the personality you have today. It's because of your failure in your responsibilities as a father."
Lan Xiyue listened quietly, without any fluctuation on her face, as if these words had nothing to do with her. She looked at Lan Zhenrong indifferently, as if she was appreciating a clumsy performance.
Seeing this, Lan Zhenrong continued, "Now you are also the regent's fiancée. Your father is truly happy for you." He paused, walked over and sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip, trying to hide his embarrassment and uneasiness. "Yu'er, try this Longjing tea. It tastes good."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue picked up the teacup and sniffed it gently. A very faint strange smell entered her nose.
At this moment, the system's voice sounded in her mind: "Host, don't drink it, it's poisonous!"
Lan Xiyue raised an eyebrow, "System, how do you know it's poisonous?"
System: "This system has detected it."
A sneer appeared on Lan Xiyue's lips. She gently put the teacup back on the table, and her eyes pierced Lan Zhenrong like a knife.
Lan Zhenrong felt a pang of anxiety when he saw her suddenly laugh. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Lan Xiyue coldly say, "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. It seems you're worse than an animal."
In the study, the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.
Lan Zhenrong's face turned pale. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lan Xiyue sneered, her voice filled with disdain and sarcasm, "Am I talking nonsense?" After that, she waved her hand violently and threw the tea on the table to the ground, and the tea splashed on the ground with a "sizzling" sound.
"Heh! You called me back just to poison me? Huh?" Lan Xiyue's eyes were as sharp as torches as she stared at Lan Zhenrong, who had a gloomy face in front of her.
Lan Zhenrong was like a stranger at this moment, his eyes filled with indifference. He simply stopped pretending and curled the corners of his mouth into a sneer, "Evil girl, if you had just drank the tea obediently, it would have been much better and you would have suffered less pain."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue simply spread her hands, her eyes full of teasing, "What? Are you saying I have to die today?"
Lan Zhenrong snorted coldly, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "Someone come here!" As his voice fell, hurried footsteps were heard at the door.
Lan Zhenrong stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the door step by step, "Send the young lady on her way."
Lan Xiyue watched coldly as four guards walked in, their eyes full of vigilance and murderous intent.
In Lan Xiyue's eyes, these people were just like ants and were not worth worrying about at all.
She stood up and attacked the four people who came in at a very fast speed. Her figure was like a ghost, dazzling.
Every move she made was precise and deadly. Soon, the four guards had their necks broken one by one by her, and they were no longer breathing.
There were still expressions of fear and disbelief on their faces.
Lan Xiyue opened the door and walked out calmly.
Lan Zhenrong looked at Lan Xiyue coming out unharmed, a look of astonishment on his face, "You...you're actually okay?"
He looked at Lan Xiyue in disbelief, his heart filled with confusion and fear.
Those four guards were quite skilled in martial arts, so how could Lan Xiyue emerge unharmed in just a short while? Where were those four?
Lan Xiyue glanced at him indifferently and said, "Don't look at them. Those four guards were so weak. I broke their necks in just a few strokes and they died." Her tone was relaxed and calm.
Lan Zhenrong swallowed and said, "You evil girl, why don't you die? If you don't die, our entire mansion will be completely finished." His voice trembled.
Lan Xiyue raised an eyebrow, "Oh? What do you mean?"
Lan Zhenrong's eyes flashed, "It's all because of you that our mansion has been in trouble one after another. You are a disaster. Only when you die can our mansion be restored to its original state."
Lan Xiyue's eyes were as cold as a pond. "Really? I've already moved out, so why are you still not satisfied? Do you want me to die?"
Lan Zhenrong's eyes were almost spitting fire, "Yes! You must die today!" After he finished speaking, he clenched his fists, and his figure flashed, like an angry beast, pouncing towards Lan Xiyue.
Lan Xiyue was light and nimble, and she dodged Lan Zhenrong's powerful blow easily by moving to the side.
Lan Zhenrong missed his attack and was stunned for a moment. Then he shouted angrily and used all his strength again to punch Lan Xiyue on the back.
This time, Lan Xiyue did not dodge, but stood there quietly, allowing the fist wind to whistle towards her.
Just as the fist was about to touch her body, a powerful internal force suddenly burst out from Lan Xiyue's body, forming an invisible shield to block Lan Zhenrong's fist.
A powerful force backfired, knocking Lan Zhenrong back repeatedly. When he regained his balance, he looked at Lan Xiyue in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock. "You, when did you acquire such profound internal strength?"
Lan Xiyue turned around slowly. She looked at Lan Zhenrong indifferently, a mocking smile on her lips. "Want to know? I won't tell you."
The air around them seemed to freeze, with only the heavy breathing of the two people echoing in the air.
Lan Zhenrong pointed at Lan Xiyue with trembling hands, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.
After a long while, Lan Zhenrong said, "Come here, bring that slave girl up here."
“Miss…Miss…”
Chuxia was brought up by the guards with a knife at her neck.
Lan Xiyue's eyes turned cold, "Lan Zhenrong, you really will do anything to kill me!"
Lan Zhenrong pointed at Chu Xia and said, "Lan Xiyue, if you don't want a servant like you to die tragically, then commit suicide!"
Chu Xia was horrified when she heard this, "Master, what are you talking about? The young lady is your daughter...Miss, don't, don't bother me. I'm not afraid of death!"
