“Yu Shan? So you’re Yanran’s shimei. I didn’t expect this connection!” Putting aside her initial surprise, Lan LingEr stepped forward and smiled at Yu Shan.
“Yes! LingEr, thank you for saving me last time, otherwise…” Yu Shan paused, her eyes reddening, choking up. She wasn’t afraid of death, but of not seeing her shixiong one last time. That shixiong always remained hidden in her heart.
“Don’t move, any of you! And you, Young Master Luo Ran, if you dare take one more step, I’ll kill this beauty, and we’ll all die together!” Luo Ran’s actions had clearly enraged Sahte, who threatened like a mad dog.
“Luo Ran, stay where you are! Don’t worry, I’ll be fine!” At most, I’ll just die! Lan Ling’er thought to herself.
“Ling’er!” Luo Ran called out, somewhat dazed.
Ling’er slowly approached Sahte. When Sahte was sure he had grabbed Ling’er, he roughly pushed Yu Shan away.
“Move aside! Otherwise, I’ll kill her!” Facing the approaching Luo Ran siblings, Sahte held a knife to Ling’er’s shoulder and roared.

“It’s you!” Ling’er was shocked, looking at the noble and dignified empress before her with a hint of evil.
“Long time no see, my daughter-in-law!” The empress laughed, her eyes flashing with malice as she sat high above, observing Ling’er.
“So it was all your scheme! What exactly do you want?” Ling’er’s angry gaze shot directly at the empress’s luxurious makeup.
The previous calm was turning into a turbulent storm.
“Do I need to report to you, my daughter-in-law, what I want to do?” She played with the jade ring on her finger, asking ambiguously.
“Are you talking about Dong Fang Che?”
“No! He is my other son, clever and intelligent, the heir I chose, but unfortunately, fate had other plans. At ten, he became mentally disabled. Perhaps it was my retribution.” She sighed, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.
“Why?” Ling’er asked, confused.
