Chapter 25: The Old Madam of the Lan Family III
"Lead the way."
Bai Yan looked at the old lady and nodded. Under the guidance of the old lady, she stepped past the threshold.

The Lan family's courtyard was different from the luxurious Bai Manor. Instead, it was a plain elegance that was like that scene of mountains and rivers, giving off a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
Bai Yan had just taken a few steps when she saw that not far away, Old Madam, who had a head full of white, was clutching her walking stick with the support of another person and rushing toward her.
"Yan'er, are you Yan'er?" Old Madam's tears started flowing. She only stopped when she arrived before Bai Yan. Using that rough and slightly trembling hand, she gently caressed her cheek. "Child, you have suffered all these years."
The mere statement 'you have suffered' made Bai Yan feel her heart tingle within. She raised her hand to support Old Madam's trembling body. "Maternal Grandmother, I'm here to see you."
"It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back." Old Madam's voice was trembling insistently. "Since you have returned, then stay a few days at the Lan family residence first. Old Lady Sun, go and prepare a room for Miss Bai."
"Yes." Old Lady Sun respectfully bent her body. "However, Old Madam, I think that Miss Bai might need to stay at our Lan Manor permanently."
The old madam was stunned. Her expression instantly turned sharp. "What happened?"
Yan'er was the daughter of the Bai family after all. Now that Old Lady Sun said that she needed to live at the Lan family residence permanently, then it meant that something had happened at the Bai family.
