Chapter 24: The Old Madam of the Lan Family II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Was Bai Yan approaching Xiao’er not for the sake of relying on Xiao’er’s aid to let the Bai family accept her?

Despite her being a woman who had gotten pregnant before marriage and smeared the Bai family’s name, he was merely thinking of punishing her. In the end, not only did she refuse to show remorse, but she even wanted to frame Rong’er and her daughter!

Just based on this alone, she could not possibly continue to be the daughter of the Bai family!

***

After Bai Yan left the main hall, she stopped. The gently breeze blew past and lifted up a corner of her robe.

“Xiao’er, do you plan to stay in the Bai family or leave with me?”

Bai Xiao was silent. After a long while, he raised his head and his determined gaze landed on Bai Yan.

“Elder Sis, back then, it was because I did not have sufficient cultivation that you were bullied by others. But now, I’ve gone through six years of hard work and have a firm foothold in the Bai family!” Bai Xiao’s handsome face seemed to emit a scorching brilliance. “I want to snatch back everything that belongs to us! I won’t let the Bai family, which Mother raised, fall into the hands of the mother and daughter duo!”

“What I wish for even more is to protect you and not let anyone bully you anymore!”

The young man’s gaze swept past Bai Yan’s flat abdomen and his heart felt a slight pain as the rim of his eyes started to tingle.

He did not open his mouth to ask Bai Yan about the child back then. When he saw Bai Yan returning without bringing the child back, he made a definite guess that the child must have been miscarried.

The Bai Yan back then did not have any cultivation. To have been able to survive in this world was already very difficult. How could she have protected this child?

“Xiao’er.” Bai Yan turned around and gave Bai Xiao a hug. “You don’t have to work so hard. If you wish for it, I can conquer the entire country for you.”

Bai Xiao smiled and did not agree with Bai Yan’s words. He thought that Bai Yan was merely coaxing him to be happy.

Within the span of six years, regardless of how fast she grew, it was certain that she did not have the ability to take down the entire Liu Huo Kingdom.

“Elder Sis, I have made up my mind. With my cultivation to protect you and since Old Lady Sun has come to pick you up today, why don’t I return to our maternal grandparents’ residence with you first?”

“Alright,” Bai Yan raised her brows and lean in to Bai Xiao’s side, using a voice that only the two of them could hear and said. “Since you have already decided, I won’t stop you. If you can throw off the Bai family’s spy, go to a place and find me. I will introduce someone to you.”

The Bai family’s spy?

Bai Xiao was momentarily stunned. Bai Zhenxiang had sent people to monitor him?

Just as Bai Xiao was wondering how Bai Yan had noticed this spy, Bai Yan had already walked toward the outside of the courtyard, following after the old lady.

Before she left, Bai Yan’s gaze seemed to sweep past a huge tree inadvertently, her gaze carrying a cold gleam to it.

It seemed like it was time she helped Xiao’er to get rid of these spies…

The man who was hiding in the tree, secretly fixed on Bai Xiao, was shocked. He had hidden himself so well. How could that piece of trash possibly have noticed?

It must have been merely a coincidence!

The man comforted himself in his heart, no longer thinking about that glance Bai Yan gave before she left. He further remained unknowing that the date of his death was fast approaching…

***

Six years ago, Bai Ruo had yet to marry the current crown prince. Although Old Master Lan was lying in his sick bed, the Lan family back then was still welcoming quite a number of guests.

Now, with the passing of a mere six short years, the gate was already very deserted. Only a few people would occasionally pass by. Most people would take a detour, fearful that they would accidentally offend those from Bai Manor.

At this moment, Bai Yan stood before the Lan family gate as she looked at the desolate doorway. Her calm expression hid the stormy waves of emotions within her.

“Miss Bai, please enter. Old Madam has already been waiting for you for a long time.” The old lady made a ‘please’ gesture, her attitude still considered respectful.
