Chapter 135 Yiyi, we are both still married, what if...
Lan Xiyue adjusted her clothes and her eyes fell on the two little girls who were still in a daze. Their bodies were still trembling slightly.
Lan Xiyue explained a few things briefly, and Chuchun finally came back to his senses. He suppressed the fear in his heart, responded, and then pulled Chuxia out of the carriage with slightly staggering steps.
Lan Xiyue got out of the carriage and whispered to Xiao Denglong, "Clean up the contents of the carriage and take it to the mass grave."
After saying that, she turned and went to the outer wall of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, climbed over it, and met up with Chuchun and Chuxia, and went to the old lady's yard together.
The old lady was sitting in the hall, chatting with several other old ladies. When she saw Lan Xiyue come in, she smiled and said lovingly, "Yueyue, why don't you go play with those young ladies? We are all old guys here, you might get bored staying here."
Lan Xiyue looked at the old lady's loving eyes, and the haze in her heart instantly dissipated a lot.
She bowed slightly and said, "Grandma, hello to all the old ladies!"
The old lady smiled even more heartily when she heard this and waved to her: "Okay, okay, Yueyue, come and sit down."
Lan Xiyue walked over and sat down.
The old lady of the Wuguo Marquis Mansion was a little unhappy. Lan Xiyue came in without greeting her, but was very friendly with her grandmother. How would outsiders see her?
The eyes of several old ladies from aristocratic families sitting nearby fell on Lan Xiyue, and their eyes lit up.
One of the old ladies couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Old sister, this is your beautiful and talented granddaughter? She's so pretty!"
The other old lady seemed a little confused. She had seen Lan Lingrou before, but the Lan Xiyue before her was very different from her impression. "Old sister, this doesn't look like your famous granddaughter! Who is this?"
The old lady of the Protectorate touched Lan Xiyue's hand lovingly, her eyes full of pride and tenderness.
She slowly began to introduce herself to the old ladies present: "You may have heard of her name, but you may not have seen her true appearance."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the old ladies present showed puzzled expressions, only the old lady of the Wuguo Marquis Mansion was drinking tea calmly. Lan Xiyue was not as well-behaved as she is now in the mansion.
The old lady of the Protectorate Duke continued with a smile, "She is my eldest granddaughter—Lan Xiyue. She used to be naughty and liked to wear heavy makeup, which obscured her original beauty. Fortunately, she has finally grown sensible and learned to show her true face to others."
When these words were spoken, all the old ladies present were shocked and cast their eyes on him with renewed scrutiny.
Lan Xiyue sat quietly beside the old lady of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, with her eyes lowered, looking very well-behaved.
When the old ladies learned that such a pretty girl was actually a famous nymphomaniac in the capital, their enthusiastic gazes cooled instantly.
They were from a prominent family and valued reputation above all else. Although these old ladies felt sorry for the situation, they had no choice but to consider the family's reputation.
The old lady of the Duke of Protectorate saw it and was worried. Yueyue's temperament was not as bad as the outside world said. Yueyue had done foolish things in the past, which was all due to her ignorance, but now Yueyue has become well-behaved.
She opened her mouth and was about to say something to defend Yueyue, but saw Lan Xiyue gently hold her hand and shake her head.
Seeing this, the old lady had no choice but to shut her mouth and said nothing. "Humph! They just don't like it. Her Yueyue has their Huguogong Mansion, so she won't have to worry about getting married."
How could Lan Xiyue care about the old-fashioned prejudices of these ancient people? Asking her to marry, raise a family, and never leave the house would be even more cruel than killing her. She was still young; in modern times, she would still be in the first year of high school. So she didn't care at all about how these old ladies looked at her, and she wasn't in the mood to pay attention to any of it right now.
………
On the other side, Bai Lianyan saw that the time was almost up and softly called out, "Yi Yi..."
Yun Yiyi clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and an inexplicable regret and fear surged in her heart. Although she disliked her cousin Lan Xiyue, her actions today seemed a bit too much.
Especially at her grandmother's birthday party, if she made a big fuss, not only would her grandmother be angry, but her father would also be angry and punish her. Thinking of this, Yun Yiyi felt even more regretful.
“Yiyi…”
Yun Yiyi interrupted Bai Lianyan, "Sister Yan, forget it. Lan Xiyue is my cousin after all, and today is my grandmother's birthday, so many people are here..."
Seeing this, Bai Lianyan held Yun Yiyi's hand and said, "Yiyi, it's been so long. It's too late for you to regret it now."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at the other young ladies with a gentle smile on her face: "The scenery of the Duke of Protector's Mansion is breathtaking. Sisters, how about letting Yi Yi take us around?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the women nodded in agreement.
Bai Lianyan gently took Yun Yiyi's arm, smiling brightly, "Yiyi, let's go, take the sisters around and see the scenery of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion."
Yun Yiyi thought about what would happen next and felt more and more regretful. She felt a little reluctant, but looking at the group of rich ladies in gorgeous clothes in front of her, as the host, she could only force out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Okay."
A group of people, some laughing, some whispering, strolled among the flowers.
Suddenly, Ji Rao appeared in front of them. After bowing, she pointed to the lush greenery of Lv Man Xuan not far away and said, "Miss, I just saw Miss Lan enter Lv Man Xuan, and then two men went in. Miss Lan has not come out yet."
Originally, it was the maid who said this, but after the young lady and her men arrived, the maid disappeared without a trace, and no one knew where she had gone. In order not to ruin her young lady's plan, she had no choice but to speak out.
Yun Yiyi kept winking at Ji Rao, hoping she would shut up, but Ji Rao just kept talking with her head down and didn't notice Yun Yiyi's wink at all.
Yun Yiyi thought to herself that something was wrong, Lan Xiyue, please don’t make any mistakes!
Upon hearing this, a group of young ladies exclaimed, "Why is there a man in the backyard?"
"Could it be that Lan Xiyue is having an affair with someone? With two men, Lan Xiyue is too..."
"Oh my god! This is at the Duke of Huguo's mansion, and it's the old lady's birthday. Lan Xiyue is so bold!"
"Bah! How shameless!" His words were full of contempt and disdain.
Yun Yiyi couldn't bear it anymore and roared, "Shut up!" Her voice was like thunder, and the surroundings instantly quieted down.
Lan Lingrou gently wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, but a barely perceptible smile flashed across her eyes. "Big sister, no, there must be some misunderstanding. Big sister would never do such a thing."
Lan Lingrou thought bitterly in her heart: Lan Xiyue, after today, you will be completely ruined. If I am not having a good life, you will not be able to have an easy life either.
Bai Lianyan looked towards Lu Manxuan, her brows slightly furrowed. "Yi Yi, we're both still married. What if there really is something inside... why not ask the old lady and the others to come and take a look? Maybe it's just a misunderstanding."
As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Yun Yiyi to speak, he pointed at Ji Huan and Ji Rao and said, "Hurry up and inform the old lady and the eldest lady."
Seeing that their young lady had no objection, Ji Huan and Ji Rao hurried away.
By the time Yun Yiyi reacted, her two personal maids had already disappeared. Yun Yiyi staggered and almost fell.
