Hearing these people's false accusations, Lan Yu was unable to suppress the anger within his heart as he shouted in a burst of anger, "All of you, shut up!"
The crowd quietened down, shocked by Lan Yu's sudden roar of anger.
"You all said that Yan'er eloped with someone, but is there any evidence?" he said with a sneer. "Empty words without evidence. What rights do you all have to wrongly accuse little Yan'er? All of you say that she was unclean before marriage, but besides Bai Ruo, who else had seen her? All of you say that she got pregnant before marriage, but it was also news that the Bai family had spread. From what I think, Bai Ruo lied about Yan'er's previous fiancé, who is the current crown prince, and had purposely framed Yan'er."
"Lan Yu!"
Bai Zhenxiang angrily said. "What do you mean? I came over to join your Lan family's banquet out of a kind heart. Why are you framing my daughter instead? Ruo'er's character is upright. Why is there a need for her to use such methods to obtain the crown prince? From what I see, only Bai Yan could do such things!"
Daughter?
The smile that hung on Lan Yu's lips contained sarcasm. It seems like in Bai Zhenxiang's eyes, only the sisters, Bai Ruo and Bai Zhi, were truly his daughters.
"Lan family head, your actions are indeed a little over the top." Nangong Yi frowned as his expression was very ugly. "Previously, Ruo'er had also told me that with Bai Yan's malicious character, she would definitely push the blame onto Ruo'er. Seems like from how things are today, Ruo'er's words were not wrong! You are the only one who would believe this woman's nonsense."
Lan Yu clenched his fist tightly. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly heard a light cough. When the crowd looked over in the direction where they heard the cough, they saw Old Master Lan dressed in brocade walking over under the clear moonlight, surrounded by a group of people.
"Father."
Lan Yu suppressed the anger within his heart as he walked over to Old Master Lan and respectfully cupped his fists.
"Cough cough! Welcome to all for participating in my granddaughter's welcoming banquet."
Old Master Lan coughed twice as his sharp eyes glanced all around. When he saw Di Cang, he was obviously stunned as he immediately turned his gaze toward Lan Yu. That gaze was questioning, as if asking why he was there.
Lan Yu looked at Old Master Lan and shook his head.
He also did not know why Di Cang had come.
"Old Master Lan, your body…" A flash of surprise appeared in Nangong Yi's gaze. It was uncertain what his heart was thinking.
Bai Zhenxiang was already unable to suppress his emotions as he glared at Old Master Lan with great fury in his eyes.
Why is this old fella not dead yet?
No, it should be said, how is it possible for him to have gotten out of the bed? Wasn't it said that his sickness was so bad that it was hard to recover?
Under the surprised gazes of the crowd, Old Master Lan walked toward Di Cang as a smile appeared on his old face. "It is truly my greatest honor to have Marquis Cang join us at our Lan family banquet."
Di Cang looked down at Old Master Lan from up above as his attitude was cold and proud, his voice a little cold. "I am merely curious as to who this Bai Yan, who managed to be so infamous in the entire Liu Huo Kingdom, is."
He thought of the news that his guards heard and narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly.
Lost her virginity six years ago, getting pregnant before marriage?
Good!
Very good!
He really wanted to see how long this woman could continue to keep her mouth stubborn!
The corners of Di Cang's mouth curled up into a bloodthirsty smile. His purple robe lifted without a hint of wind, he was so strong that…those surrounding him were unable to breathe.
Old Master Lan's heart thumped. Could it be that Yan'er had unknowingly provoked this bloodthirsty marquis?
