Chapter 365: Confessing the Transmigration
Lan Xiyue looked at the old lady with a cold gaze: "The current situation of the Marquis' Mansion is all due to Lan Zhenrong's own actions. No one else can be blamed."
The old lady's eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs: "He is your father after all. How could you treat him like this? How could you treat the Marquis' Mansion like this? Your wedding day is just a few days away. Do you really want to be branded as an unfilial son?"
Lan Xiyue chuckled disdainfully, a hint of sarcasm in her laughter: "When has my reputation in this capital ever been better? Why would I care about these empty reputations? Besides, Lan Zhenrong, is he really our father?"
When the old lady heard this, her body swayed violently and she almost fell to the ground.
Nanny Li was quick-witted and quickly stepped forward to support the old lady.
The old lady pointed her trembling finger at Lan Shenye, her voice filled with pleading: "Ye'er?"
Lan Shenye lowered his eyes with a complicated expression. He slowly said, "Old Madam, Lan Zhenrong has already told you everything. Yueyue and I are not his biological children."
Upon hearing this, the old lady's face turned pale in an instant. She smiled miserably and muttered to herself, "What a sin, what a sin... You all know..."
Lan Shenye looked at the old lady's aged and haggard face, and a wave of pity welled up in his heart. He turned to look at Mo Liyuan and Lan Xiyue, his eyes filled with mixed emotions: "Yueyue, the old lady used to be quite nice to us..."
Lan Xiyue didn't wait for Lan Shenye to finish his words before she smiled softly and interrupted him: "Brother, I understand what you mean." She gently pulled Mo Liyuan's sleeve and said, "Let's go."
Mo Liyuan said "hmm", hugged Lan Xiyue's shoulders tightly, and the two turned and left.
Lan Shenye took out a few banknotes from his pocket and handed them to the old lady. "These are all the banknotes I have on me. I'll have someone send you some more later."
The old lady took the banknote and threw it to the ground fiercely, her voice trembling: "You, you are all ungrateful wolves! You are all ungrateful wolves raised by the Marquis' Mansion!"
Lan Shenye shook his head, turned around and strode away.
"Madame Li, what's the point of an old man like me living? How can I be worthy of our ancestors when the Marquis' Mansion has declined to this point?" The old lady's voice choked with sobs, a trace of blood inadvertently flowing from the corner of her mouth. She leaned weakly on Madame Li, and finally couldn't hold on and fainted.
Nanny Li was startled and called out quickly, "Madam! Madam, please wake up!" She shouted, "Someone come! Someone come quickly!"
A servant came running over upon hearing the noise. Nanny Li was extremely anxious. "Go get a doctor! The old lady has fainted!"
The servant looked out the window. It was already dark. "Mammy, this... the pharmacy is already closed at this time."
"Can't you knock on the door?" Nanny Li glared at her, her tone full of blame and anxiety.
The servant had no choice but to bite the bullet and hurried out the door.
At the same time, Lan Xiyue returned to the room. She looked at Mo Liyuan in front of her and asked, "How did you find out that Lan Jiaoyun was pretending to be me? Did you... have any close contact?"
Mo Liyuan chuckled softly, picked her up, and sat her securely on his lap. "With her poor acting skills, she still thinks she can hide this from me? I saw through the clues early on, how could I let her get close to me?"
Lan Xiyue snorted after hearing this, "That's better."
Mo Liyuan leaned against her tightly, whispering softly, "Yu'er, you really scared me this time. If you have anything to do in the future, you must discuss it with me. Don't take risks alone again, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, she said, "Mo Liyuan, I have something I want to tell you. If you can't accept it, let's...part ways amicably."
Mo Liyuan's eyes narrowed instantly when he heard this. "Yuer, what are you talking about parting amicably? I will never allow that! You can only be mine!"
Lan Xiyue pushed Mo Liyuan away. She slowly stood up, her back to him, and her voice was filled with indescribable complex emotions: "System, I want to tell him everything about this journey, about the time travel, and about the mission."
System: "Host, are you crazy? Host, please don't let your love mind get you! If you tell this to this man, what if he thinks you're an alien and burns you to death?"
Lan Xiyue's lips curled up into a bitter smile. "System, I don't want to pretend to be someone else to kill the emperor anymore. If he can't accept me as I am, I have my own ways and means to leave here."
System: "Alas! Master Su has truly thought it through. What else can this system do? We can only fully support you."
Lan Xiyue's gaze passed through the window lattice, gazing at the boundless night. Her thoughts ran wild like a wild horse, and she murmured softly, "Mo Liyuan, I am not from this world."
Mo Liyuan's heart trembled when he heard this.
He stood up, walked behind Lan Xiyue, and gently put his arms around her waist. His voice was gentle: "No matter who you are, Yue'er, as long as you are you, it is enough for me. I don't care where you come from."
Lan Xiyue's body trembled slightly. She turned around, her bright eyes flickering with complex emotions. She looked at Mo Liyuan seriously, her voice tentative, "You... aren't curious about where I come from?"
The corners of Mo Liyuan's lips curled up slightly, his eyes filled with doting and trust: "If Yue'er is willing to speak, I will naturally listen attentively. If she is unwilling to speak, I will not force her."
A relieved smile finally broke out on Lan Xiyue's lips. She whispered, "I come from the modern era, a world thousands of years in the future. There, technology is advanced, tall buildings stand in every direction, and traffic is bustling. It's completely different from here. However, this place also has its beauty. There's no air pollution, and the environment is fresh and pleasant."
"Thousands of years later?" A hint of surprise flashed in Mo Liyuan's eyes.
Lan Xiyue nodded, her eyes full of sincerity: "Yes, my soul traveled through time and space into this body and merged perfectly with it. So, are you afraid that I'm a monster?"
Mo Liyuan smiled, his smile warm and inclusive: "Yuer, do you know that in my heart, you are more precious than anything else in this world. No matter if you are human, a demon, or from a thousand years in the future, you are the woman I love most."
After a pause, Mo Liyuan hugged Lan Xiyue tightly in his arms, his voice trembling slightly: "Yue'er, thank you for coming to me. Please don't leave me, okay?"
Lan Xiyue looked up at Mo Liyuan, and there was a hint of panic in her deep eyes. Could it be that this man was afraid that she would travel back to that distant modern world?
A gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and Lan Xiyue said softly: "Mo Liyuan, I can't go back to the modern era. I am already dead there." Although the words were light, they hit Mo Liyuan's heart like a heavy hammer, making him breathe a sigh of relief, and his frown gradually relaxed.
