The door was kicked open forcefully, but Qu Li was not inside.
He asked Tianqing: "Where are the people?"
Tian Qing shrank back and replied, "Miss Qu has gone to a date."
"A date?" He frowned. "What date?"
This damn girl teased him like this, she must have been afraid that he wouldn't let it go, so she hid away.
"Here is the visiting card." Tianqing handed a visiting card to the high priest.
The high priest's face was full of suspicion. He opened his eyes and quickly scanned the area. His eyes were so gloomy as if he was looking at a dead person.
He had just defended Qu Li and even promised to release Changsun Lingsi from exile, but the Lan family couldn't sit still so quickly!
He tightened his fingers little by little, and the visiting card was crumpled up.
Tianqing lowered his head, not daring to breathe.
The high priest went back to his room to change his clothes and then hurried to the Lan Mansion.
Lan Mansion.
Lan Yufeng was seriously injured by Changsun Lingsi. Although he was treated by famous doctors and the high priest also rewarded him with imperial medicine, his legs were still crippled and he could only sit in a wheelchair.
He used to go out with Kalu to have fun every day, but now he can only sit alone in a wheelchair, and his temper is getting weirder and weirder.
He often took pleasure in torturing the maids and servants.
When he suddenly saw Qu Li, his eyes sparkled, like a wolf seeing its prey.
"May I ask your name, young lady?"
Qu Li looked at him with a meaningful smile on his lips.
"You, a cripple, are you worthy enough to know my name?"
Lan Yufeng's expression suddenly turned sinister. He gripped the armrests of his wheelchair tightly, breathing heavily.
"You bitch!"
Lan Yuqiao used to often bring some women back for him to play with, and he just thought she was the same.
Because she was beautiful, Lan Yufeng wanted to spare her life. Now, he just wanted to tie her to the bed and vent his anger to see if she dared to call him a cripple again.
"Come here, tie her up for me!"
Qu Li raised the end of his eyebrows and said, "If you have the guts, tie it up yourself!"
"you--"
Lan Yufeng was so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood. He grabbed the teacup beside him and threw it at her without mercy.
Qu Li narrowed her eyes dangerously. She could have easily dodged it, but she estimated that the high priest would be awake by now, so she did not dodge.
The teacup shattered at her feet, and the tea stained her skirt.
She continued to provoke Lan Yufeng, who was furious but helpless.
Finally, he asked the servant to bring some sleeping pills.
Qu Li held his breath and did not inhale much of the drug.
Seeing her fall straight down, Lan Yufeng felt not only anger but also the pleasure of revenge.
"Carry it in."
At the same time, the high priest also entered the Lan Mansion.
After Lan Yuqiao returned, he told Zhuona about what the high priest had done.
Zhuona felt that Qu Li was not simple, so she sent a visiting card to Qu Li in the name of Lan Yuqiao.
About two days later, after receiving the visiting card, Qu Li made some minor modifications and secretly ran to Lan's house.
After hearing the two maids chatting and talking about many of Lan Yufeng's evil deeds, she decided to give the Lan family another big gift.
After hearing the report, Zhuona came out immediately.
"High Priest, why are you here?"
The high priest's face was as dark as ink, and his eyes were like the chill of winter.
"Did you just send a visiting card to Qu Li?"
Zhuona was stunned and thought: What is the origin of this Qu Li that he can make the high priest so nervous?
Thinking of Lan Yuqiao's worship of the high priest, she sighed secretly, fearing that she would have to help Lan Yuqiao find a suitable husband's family as soon as possible.
"Yes."
"Where are the people now?"
The high priest was in a very bad mood.
If anyone dares to disobey him now, he will definitely take the other person's life.
"Who is it?" Zhuona looked puzzled.
"Playing dumb with me?"
Each word was spoken in a low voice, and the look in his eyes as he looked at her was as if he was looking at an ant that could be crushed to death at any time.
Zhuona shuddered violently and was about to explain when she saw Lan Yuqiao walk in.
"Mother... High Priest?"
Lan Yuqiao was jealous of the high priest's special treatment of Qu Li, and was also annoyed that the high priest had just been so indiscriminate and disregarded the Lan family's loyalty for Qu Li, and wanted to release Changsun Lingsi from exile.
But at this moment, facing the handsome high priest, she could not control her heart, and only ardent admiration remained in her eyes.
The high priest glanced over coldly, "Where are the people from Quli?"
These four words were even heavier and colder than before.
Lan Yuqiao couldn't bear to hear him mention Qu Li, and she couldn't imagine that the high priest who had never been moved by any woman would repeatedly break her perception of him for Qu Li.
"High Priest, how would I know where Miss Qu went?"
"You are the ones who sent the visiting card, right?"
"Yes, mother did send her a visiting card. Is there any problem?"
"Yu Qiao!" Zhuona felt that something seemed to be wrong.
Lan Yuqiao was so irritated by the high priest's defense of Qu Li that he completely lost his mind.
"The Changsun family defends the imperial power, but the Lan family is loyal to the high priest! I really didn't expect that the high priest would let you repeatedly..."
"Yu Qiao, how outrageous!" Zhuona shouted, fearing that she would anger the high priest.
The high priest's jaw tightened, and a frost rolled into his eyes. "So, you deliberately tricked her here to stop me?"
Qu Li is a very smart person, but she also protects her family very much.
Since the Lan family sent a visiting invitation at this time, she would definitely come.
"I have a short patience. You'd better bring the person to me safely before I lose my temper."
Zhuona was very sure that the high priest was really angry.
"Madam!" A servant came in hurriedly, his eyes moving around in panic.
"What's wrong?"
The servant glanced at the high priest secretly and was about to whisper something in his ear, but when he met the high priest's gaze that seemed to punish him with torture, his eyelids twitched twice.
"There's nothing to hide from the High Priest. Just tell me what you have to say!"
Zhuona knew that this was the servant in Lan Yufeng's yard, and she was afraid that Lan Yufeng was angry and punishing those maids again.
"Young Master wants to kill Miss Qu!"
"Who are you talking about?" Lan Yuqiao thought she had misheard and asked loudly.
"Ms. Qu!"
"Qu Li?" Lan Yuqiao was confused.
Zhuona secretly thought that this was not good and was about to explain to the high priest, but she saw the high priest holding the servant's collar and said in a low voice: "Lead the way."
The servant was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. He crawled and led the high priest to Lan Yufeng's yard.
Lan Yuqiao looked worried: "Mom, what's going on? Isn't it two days later? Why is Qu Li here now? And what's going on with Yu Feng?"
Zhuona is also puzzled now.
Her face was solemn: "What exactly is going on? We'll tell you later! Now let's go take a look!"
