Chapter 23 Old Madam of the Lan House 1 ” (1/2)

Chapter 23 “Old Madam of the Lan House (1)”

Bai Yan fell into laughter at the shamelessness of these words: “And here I was thinking you were my stepfather, to think the blood running through my veins are that of the Bai House.”

“Impudent!” Bai Zheng Xiang slaps the table in a fit of rage, “you treacherous wrench. How dare you call me your stepfather. Today I will teach you what it means to be so lawless. Someone come, bring me the disciplinary rod. No one can save you by pleading today!”

Narrowing her eyes, a vigorous amount of energy hidden in her palm was ready to go when the voice of the old granny next to her cuts in.

“Stop!” Heavily placing the teacup down on the table, “Lord Bai, its bad enough you are ungrateful towards our Lan House, now you are even trying to hit First Miss here too? It seems its time our old madam made a trip to the palace and see Her Highness the Dowager for a good talk.”

The dowager had long been very fond of Lan Yue when she was still alive and had intended for her to marry the king at the time. But since the woman was determined to not enter the inner palace, the dowager can only give up on the idea back then.

If not for the fact that Bai Ruo had become the crown princess, Bai Zheng Xiang would never be so daring otherwise. It didn’t help either when the old queen was focusing her attention to Buddha now that she’s reaching a very old age.

“Bai Yan, if you dare leave with the people of the Lan House then you are no longer of my blood! I hope you will consider the decision well!” Haughty in his face, the man snaps at her with arrogance.

Curving her lips into a smile, Bai Yan replies with a direct answer: “I couldn’t wish for more.”

I couldn’t wish for more?

Staring with wide eyes, the man was aghast with what he heard. Clearly he couldn’t comprehend the words because he was huffing pretty badly.
