Chapter 83 Lan Zhi’s Death (2/2)
“Father!” Lan Mo Xian and Lan You Nian were still eating when they saw Lan Jian Jun rushing in.The two stood up and showed their respect.
“It’s nothing, continue eating!” Saying so, Lan Jian Jun continued to eat with the tableware from before.Lan Jian Jun picked up a piece of braised fish into Lan You Nian’s dish, said with awkwardness, “This fish isn’t bad, Nian’er eat more!”
“Thanks!” Lan You Nian nodded but did not touch the braised fish.Lan Jian Jun, seeing his daughter’s estranged thanks and unwillingness to eat the food he picked, felt a burst of sourness in his heart.In reality, this time Lan Jian Jun truly overthought.Lan You Nian wasn’t willing to eat fish not because she disliked eating fish but because Lan You Nian didn’t like picking out the fishbones, so she usually did not touch foods like fish.
“Father already cut off the relationship with Lan Zhi.In the future no matter what Nian’er wants to do can do, you don’t have to consider anything!” Lan Jian Jun said to his daughter.He wasn’t blind.Last time at An manor’s banquet, his daughter easily reversed the situation.She regularly left Lan manor without anyone knowing.The words and deeds of her maidservants were nobler than daughters of noble families.With his martial arts, he noticed shadow guards of above average martial arts showed up around his daughter.All of this showed that this daughter wasn’t ordinary.Since his daughter had things she wanted to do, then he as her father will pave the road for her.
Lan You Nian put down the chopsticks she used to eat, frowned and assessed Lan Jian Jun.It seems Lan Jian Jun was aware that she wanted to go against them, but this man didn’t ask for reasons nor did he ask for their ending.He simply helped her.This made Lan You Nian feel she didn’t really hate this man so much.
Lan You Nian waved her hand to Lan Ren who wasn’t hiding himself.Lan Ren promptly left You Nian Pavilion, disappearing in front of everyone’s eyes.
“Nian’er meimei, that is your guard?” Lan Mo Xian saw Lan Ren seemed to have a very powerful hidden technique and felt envious.He intuitively felt this man seemed to be at the same level as An Yi.In the past every time he sparred against An Yi, it was a disastrous defeat.Because of this Lan Mo Xian was depressed for a long time.
“You can say that!” Lan You Nian nodded.Lan Ren and the others were not only were her subordinates, they were also her friends.
“In the future is there time to let him and I spar?You know older brother likes martial arts very much!” Lan Mo Xian’s words weren’t false.If he didn’t have other things to do, he liked to practice martial arts.But Lan Ren was his little sister’s subordinate.If he wanted to spar with Lan Ren, he needed to ask the master.
“You have to ask Lan Ren, I can’t decide for him, but I think Lan Ren won’t refuse!” Although Lan You Nian required her subordinates to be absolutely obedient, she didn’t interfere in other matters.She gave them a lot of personal space to live and enjoy life, but clearly, Lan Ren and the others were really old-fashioned and always put Lan You Nian first.

Sounds of beating and a voice begging for mercy drifted out from one of An manor’s small courtyards.
“Slut!This young master wanted you to ask for medicine.You actually hurt people instead.Now, how will aunt help me find medicine!” An Ping kicked Lan Zhi who laid the ground.
“It wasn’t me!Cousin-brother, believe me, I did beg mother to ask medicine for cousin-brother, but I didn’t expect that mother would refuse.I felt unfair for cousin-brother, so I hurt eldest sister.Cousin-brother, I did it for you ah!” Lan Zhi was already tortured almost to death.Her entire body felt woozy.
“For this young master? Hmph!Last time this young master didn’t know and got onto your bed and caught this sickness.Now this young master only wanted you to ask for medicine, you failed, what’s the use of having you?” An Ping picked up the porcelain vase on the table and threw it on Lan Zhi.The vase broke Lan Zhi’s forehead causing it to bleed.The fragmented pieces lay around Lan Zhi.
Why?Why did everyone treat her like this?Father was like this, mother was like this, older sister was like this, younger brother was like this, now even her husband cousin-brother was like this, what did she do wrong?No, she didn’t do anything wrong!It was all these people’s fault!Lan Zhi with her eyes opened wide stared at An Ping who continued to beat her.She picked up a broken piece of porcelain and slowly stood up under An Ping’s beating.
“Seems like you still have spirit, huh?” An Ping didn’t expect that Lan Zhi who suffered from his beatings and would usually beg for mercy right about now would stand up today.
“Ah, I want to kill you!” Lan Zhi picked up the sharp piece of porcelain in her hand and stabbed it at An Ping’s.But with her frail body how can it fight against the strong body of An Ping, a man?An Ping cherished his life and was about to back away to call in the guards to kill this woman.
In the shadows, Lan Ren looked down at these two people with contempt.When An Ping prepared to dodge sideways, he flung a burst of pressure to throw An Ping towards Lan Zhi.The sharp piece of porcelain Lan Zhi held in her hands directly pierced An Ping’s heart.Lan Ren was afraid there was a possibility that An Ping will be saved so once again threw a small force of power at Lan Zhi so that the porcelain in Lan Zhi’s hands was wholly embedded in An Ping’s heart.
An Ping stared with wide eyes the blood gushing out of his heart.He opened his mouth to say something, but he only vomited blood.The blood sprayed on Lan Zhi’s face.Lan Zhi was completely scared by the sight before her eyes.Although she was furious to the point she wanted to kill An Ping, but now that she really did kill An Ping, she knew for sure she won’t be able to live.
Lan Zhi pushed An Ping onto the ground and looked at the window in the back of the room in a panic, wanting to escape through the window.She didn’t want to die yet, she didn’t want to die at all.It was better to live than to have a good death.She wanted to live.As long as she escapes, no one from An manor can find her.
But will Lan Ren give her this chance to escape?Of course not.They will not let go of any one of the people who bullied their young miss in the past.Since she schemed against young miss, Lan Zhi’s life has been caught by young miss.She deliberately made Lan Zhi lose all face and lose the innocence of a girl.After catching the disease, she made her be in pain and afraid, then gave a blow to her self-esteem by becoming a concubine, making her regret and be disappointed.Then her supposed husband tortured her letting her body and spirit to be in extreme pain.Now to give her the final blow, that is death!
Lan Ren used internal force to make all the things on the table fall to the ground, the sound of objects shattering finally attracted the guards standing outside the door.Seeing the guards barging in, Lan Ren hid himself and left An manor.
“Eldest master!” The guards saw An Ping lying on the bloody ground shouted anxiously.The other guards tied up Lan Zhi who was about to run away.
“Ping’er!” The entire prime minister manor was immersed in sorrow because the grandson An manor’s Prime Minister An was most proud of, An Gong Jing’s most beloved son, An Ping, has died.He was killed by his own concubine.His death was miserable.
“Uncle, it wasn’t me!It really wasn’t me.Uncle let go of Zhi’er!” Lan Zhi saw all the people of An manor looking at her with murderous expressions.It made her afraid and pled for mercy.
An Gong Jing drew out a guard’s long sword and walked toward Lan Zhi.Each step carried murderous intent and hate.His beloved son died in his own niece’s hands, how can he not be angry?
“Uncle, no, think about mother.Mother is your younger sister!” Lan Zhi backed away.
“Pu!” The sword in An Gong’s hands thrust through Lan Zhi.Without any mercy, he retracted the sword.Seeing Lan Zhi drop down on An manor’s hall, the guards seemed to be used to it as two people directly came in and dragged out Lan Zhi’s body.
At the moment right before death, Lan Zhi saw that girl that was always bullied by her, so little and so pitiful, and always used damp eyes to beg her, her soft voice begging, “Second sister, please don’t hit me again!” Lan Zhi saw the little her beating that girl as if teasing her like an animal.Is her ending retribution?But Lan Zhi didn’t have the opportunity to know because she died, unable to do anything.
