Chapter 23: The Old Madam of the Lan Family I
Bai Yan was angered into laughter by these shameless words. "I had only found out today that the blood that flows in my body is of the Bai family's. I had even thought that you were merely my stepfather."
"Presumptuous!" Bai Zhenxiang slapped the table top as he stormed in anger. "You rebellious b*stard. How dare you actually say that I am your stepfather?! If I don't discipline you today, you would really be lawless! Guards, bring the family law over. Today, it is useless, regardless of whoever comes to plead!"
Bai Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as the hidden energy in her palms slowly formed. Just as swords were drawn and bows stretched, the old lady's sharp voice rang out.
"Stop!" she stood up from the chair and the tea cup in her hand was also heavily placed on the table. "Bai family head, we can forget the fact that your Bai Manor is ungrateful and bullies our Lan family people, but now you are firstly being rude and even wishing to discipline the Bai family's eldest miss. It seems like it is about time my family's Old Madam makes a trip to the palace and properly have a talk with the empress dowager."
When Lan Yue was alive, the empress dowager had loved her a lot and had originally wished for her to marry the emperor. However, Lan Yue had insisted on not entering the gates of the palace and the empress dowager could only let things be.
If it were not because Bai Ruo had already become the crown princess consort alongside the fact that the empress dowager was well into her years and was immersed in Buddhism, Bai Zhenxiang would not have dared to be so bold and reckless!
"Bai Yan, if you dare to leave with the Lan family's people today, you will no longer be the bloodline of my Bai family from now on! I hope that you can think it through properly!" Bai Zhenxiang displayed an arrogant look as he spoke sharply.
The corner of Bai Yan's lips curled upward slightly. "Couldn't wish for more."
'Couldn't wish for more?'
Bai Zhenxiang's eyes widened as his breath became unstable. It was obvious that he was not lightly angered.
