Chapter 29: A Not Too Beautiful Initial Encounter I
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.
