Jian Lian Hui saw this mother-daughter pair completely ignoring her will and being carried away by Yan Zi Lian.
She turned to the city lord and coldly questioned: “Yan Huan Xin, you dare to let me enter your Yan family?”
Being directly addressed by a junior, the old City Lord raised an eyebrow with great dignity: “If my Lian’er wants someone, I can’t stop her.”
Indeed, with just one sentence, Jian Lian Hui was rendered speechless.
She began a life like a pet in the Yan family. Every day she was meticulously served, with others dressing and feeding her, medicine brought to her lips, and even gentle servants massaging her shoulders and legs. The difference was that her courtesans would dress beautifully waiting to be summoned, while Yan Zi Lian would come to see her daily and talk to her.
Yan Zi Lian never dressed her in black, and would directly open her collar to inspect her wounds upon returning. Piercing the scapula wasn’t a joke and wouldn’t heal quickly.
She raised her eyes and stared directly at Jian Lian Qing, the usual hint of laughter in her eyes instantly vanishing. She struck each word like ice into her ears: “Indeed, I’ll have to use this method to stimulate your will to survive – I naturally know who you are, you ungrateful little wolf! Do you think Zhe Yue Palace is anything?
If you dare use it as a bargaining chip, I guarantee that ten days from now, you will never hear this term again. You’re bold, yet so disobedient. What can you do? I’ve already decided to adopt you.”
Jian Lian Qing turned her face away, coldly shouting: “Get lost!”
“Let’s go together,” Yan Zi Lian restored her smile, hugging her and standing up, forcefully pressing her head into her embrace as she walked out. Jian Lian Qing’s cold voice was like a knife, spitting out a name: “Yan Xiao Xun!”
Yan Zi Lian’s foot, about to kick the door, suddenly withdrew. She threw Jian Lian Qing back onto the bed, leaping up and fully pressing her down, one hand gripping her neck, delivering her final ultimatum: “You may be ruthless, but you don’t need to be so despicable. If you dare touch Xun’er, I will make you regret this mistake until your death!”
