The moment Xiao Lan finished his sentence, before Marquis Wei could speak again, the angry voice of Wei Yaru resounded loudly.

"Father, why do you think that Ulan Yi has the slightest attitude of admitting her wrongs? Look at her seductive appearance, she must have definitely planned out what happened in the main hall earlier!"

"Her purpose is to seduce the regent or the emperor!"

"Not only is she shameless, she is even willing to sacrifice her entire family for this!"

"Hateful, annoying, and infuriating!"

You Yaru bellowed out one sentence after another in anger and resentment!

Even if it was nonsense, it would still work if he said too much. However, what Wei Yaru said did not sound like nonsense at all.

Indeed, the first rank warlord, Wei Ze, roared out in rage, "You shameless bastard, Wan-yi, kneel down!"

Xiao Lan's indifferent gaze slowly swept past everyone, kneeling, and then kneeling again.

Kneel to who? They! Why!

Xiao Lan pursed her lips, her deep and cold gaze slowly falling on Wei Ze as she spoke in a low yet clear voice.

"What if I don't kneel?"

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. When they had heard that the Third Young Miss of the Hou clan had committed an immoral act against the royal family, they hadn't believed her before. Now that they saw her like this, they had no choice but to believe it.

Seeing Xiao Lan in such a state, Wei Yaru laughed maniacally in her heart, yet her expression was one of extreme anger. She was done for, she would definitely die today!

When she saw him in the main hall, she was extremely shocked and terrified. She was afraid that this slut would snatch away everything that she and her sister had tried to pay with all their might. What if she really did manage to seduce the Sovereign King or the Regent? Luckily, she didn't succeed!

Today, she definitely had to die! She stretched out her arm and pointed at Xiao Lan.

"Father, did you see that?" Father, did you see that?

The duke of Tianwu was so angry that he could no longer look. He turned around and roared, "Men! Go to the ancestral hall and claim your family's justice!"

Everyone's expression changed, and someone jogged out of the courtyard.

Xiao Lan calmly stood on the spot. Although she didn't know what this magic technique was, it definitely wasn't anything good!

As expected, when the servant took out the so-called family law, Xiao Lan's body similarly looked around. It was a nearly two meter long steel whip with countless barbs on it.

Xiao Lan's eyes narrowed in an instant!

In the main hall, she had even spared the entire Wei family with good intentions. Now that they treated her in such a manner, if the steel whip really lashed her, she swore that she would make Wei Ze pay a painful price no matter what!

Wei Ze had already gripped the steel whip tightly in his hand as he looked fiercely at Xiao Lan.

"You have offended your superiors. You have no respect for your elders. You have committed great injustice and are truly intolerable. Today, I, Yueze, am going to beat you to death for the ancestors of the Wei-family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two meter long steel whip opened its bloody mouth like a venomous snake.

She, Xiao Lan, didn't have the habit of being abused. When the steel whip was about to hit her, she flew back a few steps and steadily landed on the ground with a somersault, perfectly avoiding the whipping of the steel whip.

Silence. The entire courtyard had quieted down. Only the crackling sound of the torches could be heard.

The Yan sisters widened their eyes in shock. What was going on!

When did this Lan Yi learn martial arts?!

The woman who had easily dodged his whip had her body half arched and her right hand firmly supported in the dirt. Her eyes were sharp and her movements were agile like a ferocious and powerful leopard!

This... Was she still his submissive and lowly little girl, Lan Yi?

Seeing that Yuze had stopped moving, Xiao Lan slowly stood up from the ground. With a cold voice that penetrated to the bone, she said, "Marquis, why must you do this? Why don't we let each other go?"

Wei Ze's eyes were like torches as he stared fixedly at Xiao Lan. How was this her youngest daughter, Lan Yi? Who was she?!

"Who are you?"

Faced with such a question from Wei Ze, Xiao Lan's sharp gaze did not avoid looking straight into his torch-like eyes. "I am Lan Yi, your daughter."

"Nonsense!"

Wei Ze suddenly gripped the steel whip tightly and swung it at Xiao Lan without mercy. Xiao Lan's eyes suddenly widened as she continuously retreated like the wind beneath her feet.

Hiding in the door pillar, the door pillar was directly smashed into pieces by Wei Ze, hiding in the inner chamber. Hiding in the door pillar, the door pillar was directly broken apart by Wei Ze, hiding in the inner chamber.

All the windows in the inner chamber were sent flying by Yueze. With a loud 'bang', they crashed heavily into the courtyard. The female servants standing foolishly in front of the courtyard door all trembled from head to toe.

The usually arrogant and domineering Wei Yaru stopped screaming. She opened her mouth wide as if she had lost her soul, staring at the whipping shadows swirling in the room.

"Mother, do as she says …"

How could she be so powerful? Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a soul-stirring rumbling sound from the inner room, followed by the sound of something exploding.

In the inner room, Xiao Lan was already panting heavily. She took a deep breath as she looked at the wardrobe that had been torn into pieces by Yuze.

"I say, Lord Marquis, can you calm down? The emperor doesn't want to pursue my matter anymore, what are you trying to do?"

Wei Ze's steel whip swung down once again, and Xiao Lan howled in her heart as she barely dodged the whip.

Wei Ze glared at her. "Are you really my woman?"

Xiao Lan squatted by the window, and with difficulty answered with an uneven breathing, "Yes, yes, I'm just pretending to be Ulan!"

She was indeed Lan Yi. Her body, her appearance, they'd exchanged for her mind and soul!

Once again, Wei Ze's whip struck. Xiao Lan flipped backwards and flew out of the window with Wei Ze following closely behind.

"When did you learn martial arts?"

Xiao Lan steadied herself on the ground. "I didn't learn any martial arts, I just learned how to run when I got beaten up for a long time."

After speaking, Xiao Lan flipped out of the window and ran.

"Halt!"

Without saying anything further, he chased after them!

Xiao Lan directly dashed towards the door, and everyone that was standing at the entrance were all shocked. If he were to be accidentally whipped by the steel whip, then it wouldn't be a joke!

In the blink of an eye, everyone started to dodge in all directions like scattering birds and beasts, quickly opening up a path for Xiao Lan.

Naturally, Xiao Lan was happy with the turn of events and dashed towards the courtyard's gate. However, when he passed by Wei Yaru, he purposely stopped for a moment. Seeing that there was an opportunity, he ruthlessly lashed out.
