The entire room fell silent for a moment. Everyone stared at Lan Jingkuang in shock, doubting if they had misheard.
However, upon careful consideration, they became more convinced of Lan Jingkuang's judgment.
They had underestimated the situation before!
"Is it really Baili Hongzhuang who is disguised as Lan Yixuan? How is that possible?" Lan Qingyan's face turned pale as she shook her head continuously. This news was too hard to accept.
"Perhaps... the head of the family and Baili Hongzhuang were discussing something other than what we thought?" The second elder and the third elder were clearly unwilling to believe this.
"Regardless of whether this result is true or not, it's better to take Baili Hongzhuang's life to ensure our peace of mind. Although that old guy hasn't paid attention to family matters for so many years, his power is still strong. We can't take it lightly," Lan Kaicheng said.
Both Lan Kaicheng and Lan Yongtai's faces showed seriousness and solemnity. At this point, there was no turning back for them.
If Lan Qingyan couldn't successfully become the head of the family, then they would be the unlucky ones next.
"But how do we act when Baili Hongzhuang doesn't leave her residence?" Lan Qingyan narrowed her eyes, her gaze sinister and ruthless. She absolutely wouldn't allow Baili Hongzhuang to ruin everything that belonged to her.
...
Baili Hongzhuang was in seclusion, cultivating, when she suddenly received some news.
"You're saying that the Lan family is hosting a banquet?"
Her stunningly beautiful face showed a hint of surprise. Baili Hongzhuang furrowed her eyebrows slightly, her expression tinged with confusion.
"Shouldn't the Lan family be busy preparing for the enthronement ceremony? Why are they suddenly hosting a banquet?" Di Beichen's face darkened slightly. "In my opinion, things are probably not that simple. We didn't hear any news before, and now this banquet is being held so suddenly. There must be something fishy going on."
Mo Yunjue nodded in agreement. "It's possible that Lan Jingkuang and the others couldn't hold back anymore and want to take immediate action."
Baili Hongzhuang's deep and contemplative phoenix eyes flashed with thought. A smile appeared on her face.
"Since they're here, I don't believe that Lan Jingkuang can just directly murder me in front of everyone! As for playing dirty tricks, it depends on whether he has the ability."
The banquet began.
"Baili Young Lady, Di Young Master, Mo Young Master, welcome, welcome." Lan Kaicheng and the others showed joyful smiles when they saw Baili Hongzhuang and the others arrive.
In the moments when no one was paying attention, they exchanged a glance, revealing a hint of satisfaction.
Baili Hongzhuang's face carried a hypocritical smile. Both sides wished for the other to die immediately, yet they had to pretend to have an extremely good relationship here.
"Baili Young Lady, this is your seat. Please have a seat."
Baili Hongzhuang looked at the seat in front of her and raised an eyebrow slightly, finding it interesting.
"Why am I assigned to sit here?" Baili Hongzhuang asked the maid.
"Tonight's banquet has men sitting in one row and women sitting in another row, so your seat is arranged here," the maid answered meticulously, leaving no room for criticism.
Baili Hongzhuang smiled lightly and nodded. "I see..."
