Chapter 228 Since you don’t want to talk anymore, I won’t accompany you anymore!
The old lady turned her head and looked at Lan Xiyue in a daze, her eyes filled with the vicissitudes of life and endless sorrow.
"Yueyue...cough..." Her voice trembled, with a barely perceptible sob.
Lan Xiyue gently stroked the old lady's back, "Grandma, the dead cannot be resurrected, you must take care of yourself!"
The old lady stopped coughing and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. Complex emotions flashed in her cloudy eyes.
"Yueyue, do you know everything?" There was a hint of temptation in her words, as if she was afraid of uncovering the long-buried scar.
Lan Xiyue's eyes flashed, and she lowered her eyelids to hide the waves in her eyes.
"Grandma, what do you know?" Her voice was light, but revealed an imperceptible indifference.
Upon hearing this, the old lady sighed deeply, as if she wanted to let out all the frustration in her heart.
"Your mother's childbirth was not an accident. I discovered it by accident as well. Later, when I questioned Qing'er, she cried to me and said that she loved Lan Zhenrong. Only when Shanshan died could she be with Lan Zhenrong again." The old lady's voice was low and trembling, and every word sounded like tears and blood dug out from the bottom of her heart.
"I was very angry and sad at that time. I didn't find it earlier, otherwise your mother wouldn't have... Now that I think about it, Yun Qing and her two children are all suffering from retribution!" When the old lady said this, there was endless sadness in her eyes.
Lan Xiyue listened quietly, without any expression on her face, only a faint cold light flashed in the depths of her eyes.
"Grandma, since you said that Yun Qing and her two children were retribution, just treat it as retribution!"
Upon hearing this, the old lady suddenly looked up and glanced at Lan Xiyue with cloudy eyes.
It was at this moment that she seemed to truly see through her granddaughter's heart. Yueyue was so calm. Did she already know it when she asked last time?
The room fell into a brief silence, and Lan Xiyue said, "Grandma, take good care of yourself and don't let your mind wander."
"Ahem...Okay."
The old lady lay quietly on the large carved bed, her face haggard, but her eyes flickered with complex emotions. She slowly closed her eyes, her voice weak and tired: "I'm tired, Yueyue, go back."
Lan Xiyue stood up upon hearing this and said, "Okay, grandma, have a good rest." After that, she turned and left.
When Lan Xiyue's figure completely disappeared behind the door, the old lady suddenly opened her eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
She recalled the conversation she had with Yueyue the last time Yueyue came. Not long after, Yunqing was suddenly paralyzed in bed. This coincidence caused ripples in the old lady's heart.
She coughed violently, her chest feeling as if a huge rock was pressing down on it, making it difficult to breathe. "No way, Yueyue is so innocent and kind, how could she do such a thing?" The old lady prayed silently in her heart, hoping that she was overthinking it.
At this moment, an old maid hurried into the room. Seeing the old lady coughing violently, she quickly walked to the bedside, patted her back, and asked anxiously, "Oh, old lady, what's wrong with you?"
The old lady finally stopped coughing, but tears kept falling. She closed her eyes, feeling a mixture of emotions, hoping that all this was just her imagination.
On the other side, Lan Xiyue walked out of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion. Just as she took a few steps, a gorgeous carriage suddenly stopped in front of her.
Chu Xia whispered to the side: "Miss, this is the carriage from the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Lan Xiyue's eyes turned slightly cold when she heard this.
The car window slowly opened, and Bai Lianyan stuck her head out. She looked at Lan Xiyue, "Lan Xiyue, how about we talk?"
Lan Xiyue narrowed her eyes and said in a calm and distant voice, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Bai Lianyan seemed to have anticipated her indifference and didn't care. She continued, "It's not easy to talk here. Get in the carriage and let's go to a nearby restaurant to talk."
Lan Xiyue sneered, her gaze piercing Bai Lianyan like an icy blade: "It seems we are not that familiar with each other yet, Bai Lianhua!"
Bai Lianyan frowned slightly upon hearing this, and her expression instantly turned ugly: "Lan Xiyue, I have already lowered my status and come to you in a humble manner, what else do you want?"
Lan Xiyue stopped talking. A thought flashed, and an embroidery needle silently appeared in her hand. With a slight flick of her wrist, the needle, as if alive, swung seamlessly towards the horse on the carriage.
The next moment, the horse seemed to be frightened and started running wildly, with the sound of its hooves deafening.
Bai Lianyan had just stuck her head out to talk to Lan Xiyue, but the horse's sudden loss of control caught her off guard and she was thrown out of the carriage in an instant.
"Ah..." She screamed in horror, her body drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground.
Lan Xiyue looked at this scene without any sympathy in her eyes, she just waved towards the darkness.
An Yi appeared like a ghost, came to Lan Xiyue's side, and saluted respectfully: "Princess."
Lan Xiyue remained calm as she ordered, "Go and control the horse. Don't hurt any innocent people."
An Yi responded and immediately chased after him.
"Tsk! Bai Lianhua, I think this posture is pretty good now. What do you want to talk to me about?" Lan Xiyue looked down at Bai Lianyan who was slumped on the ground, with a bit of teasing and disdain in her tone.
Bai Lianyan was in so much pain that tears were streaming down her face. Her face was as pale as paper and she seemed to have lost all the strength to speak.
Seeing this, Lan Xiyue curled her lips into a sneer and said, "Since you don't want to talk anymore, then I won't keep you company." After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and turned to leave.
Bai Lianyan's eyes flashed with resentment. She stared at Lan Xiyue's receding figure. Why did the horse suddenly go crazy and cause her to fall out of the carriage?
"It must be that bitch Lan Xiyue's doing!" Bai Lianyan roared in her heart. She felt sharp pain in her waist, as if every inch of her bones were shattered.
Just then, a maid ran back hurriedly, looking anxious.
"Miss, are you okay?" She knelt beside Bai Lianyan, her voice trembling slightly.
Bai Lianyan endured the pain and gritted her teeth, "It hurts... Ouch... Help me find a doctor."
Upon hearing this, the maid hurriedly and carefully helped Bai Lianyan up. Her hands trembled slightly with nervousness, fearing that she would hurt her young lady. The two of them staggered towards the nearest pharmacy.
Lan Xiyue was walking aimlessly on the street when suddenly, Qian Duoduo's joyful voice came, "Yueyue!"
