Chapter 525 - 349: Ruthless
Chapter 349
"Wife," a hoarse voice called from the doorway.
Ran Yan and Wan Lu were startled and turned around, only to see a young woman in a dark blue robe with her hair in a maid’s bun, her features delicate and pretty—it was Ge Lan.
After a moment of silence, Wan Lu suddenly realized and quickly stepped forward to grab her hand, exclaiming joyfully, "Ge Lan, you can talk!"
"Yes." Due to her injury, Ge Lan’s voice sounded neutral, deep and hoarse, making it somewhat difficult for others to understand.
"We were just talking about you!" Wan Lu said with a smile.
Ge Lan patted her hand, then squatted down to bow to Ran Yan, "Wife, your servant has returned."
Ge Lan’s vocal cords had long since recovered. Ran Yan had always attributed her inability to speak to psychological reasons, so even though she suddenly began to talk, Ran Yan was not too surprised and helped her up with a neutral expression, "No need for such formalities. Is everything all right in Suzhou?"
"Rest assured, Wife, all is well in Suzhou, but Lady Gao misses her daughter terribly and has been unwell recently." Ge Lan knew Ran Yan was implying something deeper with her question—likely wanting to know if there were any slip-ups concerning the death of Ran Shiba.
As she mentioned the ill health, a flash of pleasure crossed Ge Lan’s eyes.
