Bab 29: A Not Too Beautiful Initial Encounter I

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After he finished speaking, Old Master Lan swallowed the pill. After this pill entered his body, it became a surge of warmth, slowly flowing from his five viscera and six organs.

At this moment, Old Master Lan obviously felt his bodily functions slowly being repaired under this surge of warmth that was flowing within him. This wonderful feeling was one that he no longer felt ever since he was on his sick bed many years back. It was so enjoyable that he really wanted to laugh out loud.

However, in the end, in order not to lose his reputation, the old master suppressed that enjoyable feeling within his heart.

"I have taken the pill. Now, isn't it time you tell me why you left six years ago without a word?" His fingers gently stroked his white beard with a poker face as his spoke in a sharp tone.

Thinking back on the things that happened, Bai Yan's eyes darkened a few shades. "Getting pregnant before marriage was not my original intent. It was Bai Ruo's doing. For the sake of obtaining the second prince, she drugged me without hesitation in order to ruin my name and instead, allowing her to substitute me and marry into the royal family."

Old Master Lan's fist instantly clenched tightly. Even the old madam and Lan Yu who was standing up ahead could feel that change in his aura.

It was as if a huge storm was growing in Old Master Lan's body, slowly moving outward. The whole room's atmosphere became oppressive after Bai Yan's words.

"Such a huge thing happened. Why did you not return to tell me?" Old Master Lan's voice was filled with anger as he scolded.

"I didn't even have the opportunity to bid farewell to Xiao'er, would I still have been able to return?" Bai Yan's expression was calm. "Back then, Bai Zhenxiang was not at home. Madam Yu and Yu Rong had schemed together and wanted to sell me as a concubine to the old man of the Qian family. I took the opportunity to escape when the Qian family's people were taking me away."

Old Master Lan's breathing became more and more hurried as his tightly clenched fist also started trembling more terribly.

He slowly closed his eyes, as if only by doing so could he ease the pain within his heart.

After a long while, he finally opened his eyes and said a single sentence that was more honest and gentle in his entire life.

"Child, it is I who have misunderstood you."

How much suffering had this child of his Lan family gone through at Bai Manor? What was laughable was that from the beginning to the end, he kept thinking that Bai Manor would not dare to treat her badly and that was why he had never noticed how his granddaughter was being ill-treated at Bai Manor!

"Yan'er." Lan Yu's eyes were filled with pain. He was feeling heartache for Bai Yan who had experienced such cruel matters at such a young age. "Back then, you had escaped from the Qian family, but why didn't you come to the Lan family? Uncle and Maternal Grandfather would definitely made a decision for you!"

Bai Yan said with a smile. "You may all believe me, but the world would not. The me back then was, after all, the daughter of the Bai family. If Yu Rong had insisted on taking me away, the public opinion would definitely be on the Bai family's side. I also have no ability to fight back."

The good thing was that she already had the ability now. All the harm she had received back then would definitely be paid back a hundred or thousand times by those people!

"Little Yan'er," Old Madam patted Bai Yan's hand as she sighed in heartache. "Did you tell Xiao'er about these matters?"

Bai Yan shook her head. "If Xiao'er were to find out that I was nearly sold off, he would definitely rush over to settle the score with Yu Rong. Now, there are still some matters that I need to investigate. Before making those matters clear, I will let the Bai family stay alive temporarily."

Old Master Lan was obviously quite badly angered and there was an ache in his chest that could not be suppressed. He used his strength to take a few slow breaths and said. "These few days, just stay at the Lan family, you don't have to be bothered about anything! If that group of b*stards from the Bai family dare to come to the door, I will immediately beat them up and drive them out! I've not reached a point where I'm unable to even protect my granddaughter!"
