When Xiao Lan saw the whip coming at her, she instantly grabbed onto Wei Yaru's arm and pulled her to her position. At the same time, she disappeared without a trace.
When Xiao Lan took three steps forward, the sound of a pig being butchered could be heard behind her, which was several tens of decibels higher than the last time.
Ah!
"Yaru!" Lady Yan shouted painfully!
When she saw that there was no one behind her, Xiao Lan heaved a sigh of relief. She guessed that the vicious Marquis was probably too busy caring for his second daughter.
Xiao Lan looked around before finding a thick and sturdy peach tree to sit on. After running for half a night, she was about to die of exhaustion.
Just as Xiao Lan started to pant, suddenly, countless guards from the house of the Marquis surrounded her from all directions as if they were descending from the sky.
This scene caused Xiao Lan, who was sitting on the ground, to blink uncontrollably in astonishment. Damn, these people could actually fly! She, Xiao Lan, could be considered to have opened her eyes!
The leading guard took two steps forward and stood in front of Xiao Lan. "Third Miss, please excuse yourself."
After she finished speaking, she carried Xiao Lan away like a little chick before she could react.
"Ai, ai …"
Where did these "gods" want to take her!?
With a clang, the iron chain that was as thick as an arm dropped from the Hou Mansion's dungeon.
Xiao Lan looked at the damp and dark dungeon, sighing without a word. It seemed that she had been pressured into questioning.
Xiao Lan immediately found a relatively clean spot to sit down. He raised his head and looked through the gaps in the wooden window at the already dimmed Mystic Moon. The sky was about to brighten.
After a night of struggling, and after this incident with her, Hou Mansion could be considered to have been completely wrecked, but with a quick thought, it didn't matter if it blew up. According to the character of the duke, he would definitely go through everything in one go, and if he remembered the emperor, Xuanyuan Hongxi, then he would definitely let her off.
This was because the Emperor had already said that she could not be harmed. If the Emperor had already spoken, how could he still have the guts to kill her?
Xiao Lan took a deep breath as the corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile. He thought that he definitely wouldn't be able to swallow Wei Ze's breath, yet he couldn't kill her. What should he do then? Of course, the best method was to expel her from the Wei family and leave her with no one to rely on. She could only die on the outside.
Since this was the case, it could be said that he had fallen for her, so she could swagger out of the house of the Marquis.
Xiao Lan leaned back against the wall and closed her eyes with a faint smile. Her entire body relaxed as she began to rest. She only needed to wait for the order to be expelled from the house.
Since childhood, she had never received such an injury. When the iron whip left her body, she could clearly see that her blood was flying everywhere.
"You Lanyi, I must kill you!"
This sentence had been uttered dozens of times since she was carried back to her own courtyard.
The girl who had applied the medicine for Wei Yaru was trembling and did not know what to do. The doctor had said that it would hurt even more if she applied it.
However, if she didn't apply the medicine on the wounds of the second miss, it would leave behind scars. The little girl bit her lips and, as if she was going to die, she applied the potion in her hand onto the wounds of the second lady.
"Second Miss, please be patient."
Ah!
The moment the potion touched her wound, she let out a heart-wrenching scream. The scream was so painful that it almost overturned the roof.
"Get lost, all of you!"
The little girl's body trembled as she took a step back. "Second Miss, if you don't apply the medicine, your wounds will leave behind scars …"
"Scram, scram!"
She threw the jade pillow under her feet towards the little girl.
The little girl quickly ran out with the medicine in her arms in shock.
Outside, Lady Yan was standing at the door with a cold expression. When she saw the girl with medicine running out, her eyes were as cold as a knife.
When the little girl saw Lady Yan, she quickly kneeled down and said, "Madam, Second Miss does not allow this servant to apply medicine."
Lady Yan's ice-cold gaze swept over the girl's head. "Zhang mama, take her away. I don't want to see her again."
"Yes!" Zhang mama took a few steps forward and grabbed the little girl's hair, fiercely dragging her far away.
The little girl raised her head in fear and begged loudly, "Please spare me, please spare me!"
It was as if Lady Yan didn't hear him. Her gaze was fixed at the door of the room.
Soon, the little girl's voice could no longer be heard.
Someone at the side cautiously asked, "Madam, where is Second Miss …"
Lady Yan's gaze focused on him. "If you boil more medicine, I'll apply the medicine for Ya Ru myself."
"Yes."
Lady Yan pushed open the door and entered the room.
Hearing the sound of the door, the woman on the bed continued to yell without raising her head, "Scram! Didn't I tell you to scram? Did you want me to kill you by coming in?"
Suddenly, she raised her head. When she saw that it was Lady Yan, her anger turned into grief and her eyes filled with tears.
She stretched out her arm with all her might towards Lady Yan and said, "Mother, Ya Ru is in so much pain. Ya Ru is in so much pain …"
When Lady Yan, who was originally cold, saw her daughter like this, her heart ached even more. She walked to her daughter's side and grabbed her hand.
"Mother knows, Mother knows, Yaru has suffered."
"Yes, Mother." She looked at Lady Yan with tears in her eyes, and her eyes shone with a vicious light. "It's Valenyi, Mother is Valencia. She pulled me, and I got whipped by Father. Mother, help me kill her. Help me kill her!"
Upon hearing that, Lady Yan tightened her grip on Yueru's fingers. "What did you say? "You were dragged by Lan Yi?"
"Yes," she replied fiercely, "I am the one who was harmed!"
Lady Yan tightened her grip on her fingers, causing her to feel pain.
"Mother, you're hurting me …"
When Lady Yan heard this, she quickly loosened her hand and gently caressed the back of Wei Yaru's hand. "Mother didn't do it on purpose, Mother …" Lady Yan slowly raised her head, her sharp eyes earnestly looking at the beautiful appearance of Wei Yaru.
"It was mother's moment of carelessness that caused the slut to harm my treasure. But don't worry, mother will definitely make her pay with her life to apologize for it."
With Lady Yan's words, tears welled up in Yueru's eyes as she nodded, "Yaru believes in mother."
The Marquis was sitting in the study with a solemn expression on his face.
He wanted to ask Housekeeper Liu about Yaru's condition, but the servants searched the entire house, but they couldn't find any trace of Housekeeper Liu. He was forced to find an ordinary manservant and walk around the courtyard.
