Bai Ruo raised her head in surprise, her expression a little nervous. “Crown Prince wishes to see Bai Yan? It’s also true, that Bai Yan is after all the number one beauty in the world. It is right that Crown Prince has the heart as well. If Crown Prince is willing, you can take her in as a concubine. Ruo’er has no opinion toward that.”

“Ruo’er, you are truly too kind.” Nangong Yi left a kiss on Bai Ruo’s face in heartache. “Don’t worry. I won’t even be bothered to take an extra glance at a woman like Bai Yan who has lost her innocence and furthermore, would not allow her to cause you hindrance. I am going over this time merely to see how pitifully Bai Yan has spent these past few years! I reckon that after the passing of five years, she is already dull and dim.”

Bai Yan back then was merely skinny, but she was not the kind whereby her skin was yellowish and without muscles. Instead, she was still quite beautiful, especially her skin, which was white and glowing.

However, these five years, she had been bringing up a child alone as a woman. She was definitely incomparably pitiful. No matter how beautiful a beauty was, she would also definitely be like a pearl that has fallen, no longer able to shine the way it had in the past.

At this Bai Ruo displayed a smile. “Crown Prince, then Ruo’er will await your return in the manor…”

Nangong Yi kissed Bai Ruo and then got up from the bed under Bai Ruo’s coquettish gaze and shouted, “Servants, prepare a palanquin for me. I want to go to the Lan family to visit!” 1

He reckoned that the Lan family did not send an invitation to him because they were worried Bai Yan would reignite her passion toward him. Since that was the case, then he needed to make a trip to the Lan family even more so! 2

He wanted Bai Yan to understand the price for betraying him back then!

***

In the Lan manor, just outside the gate, many luxurious carriages stopped at the doorway of the manor as a few lavishly dressed people got off the carriage and walked inside.

Ever since Old Master Lan fell sick, the Lan family did not have such a happening gathering for a long while. Today, their attendance was not to show support, but merely to watch the Lan family as a joke.

A Bai family girl who had gotten pregnant before marriage was even disdained so badly by the Bai family but the Lan family ended up treating her as a treasure and even organized a welcoming banquet for her. Was this not the greatest joke within Liu Huo Kingdom?

At this moment, in the Lan family’s back hall, three males and females stood in a row, looking outward of the door with curious gazes.

Not long after, under their gazes, a woman in a stunning red robe that could topple cities entered under the moonlight. The woman was so beautiful that she was incomparable. Her hair was like a waterfall cascading, lightly fluttering in the night wind.

“Yan’er, you are here? Quickly come over to Maternal Grandmother’s side and sit.” The old madam patted on the couch before her as she spoke with a smile.

Bai Yan also was not hypocritical as she directly walked over. There was a faint smile on her face as she slowly took her sit by the old madam’s side. 1

“Come, let me introduce them,” the old madam patted Bai Yan’s shoulder. “This one who is older than you is your eldest older cousin brother, Lan Shaoling. He is twenty-seven this year. This one who is about the same age as you is your second older cousin brother, Lan Shaoyan. Both of them have not been in the Lan family residence these few days, so that’s why you have not seen them a few days back. This is your younger cousin sister, Lan Xiaoyun. She was previously injured and had insisted on going to admire a manor in the suburbs, so she has just come back.” 1

That older man smiled gently. “Grandmother, you don’t need to be so detailed. Although we have not interacted much with younger cousin sister, the two manors are after all, not too far away. Could it be that she doesn’t even know our names?”

“Haha, I had forgotten about this.” The old madam laughed aloud as she gently patted Bai Yan’s hand. “Yan’er, it is my carelessness. Actually, you would have been able to recognize them even without me having to introduce them.”

Bai Yan gave a gentle laugh but did not say much. She indeed knew about the situation within the Lan family and had merely not seen them before.
