Chapter 292 “Constantly Fussing Over the Break Will Only Confuse You”
Pursing her lips, Lan Xiaoyun’s gaze was indistinct: “In truth, whatever happens to them doesn’t matter to me, I don’t see them much anyways. However, I just can’t bear to see my grandparents be sad, that’s why I and my mother endured them for so many years.”
Hanging her head low, she attempts to cover the sadness in her eyes.
“But these people are only getting worse. Precisely because of the constantly yielding from me and my mother that they are getting so out of control.”
When has she been ever been picked on? If not for these being blood relatives, there’s no way the girl would’ve conceded so many times in the past.
“Xiaoyun,” meeting her cousin’s eye, Bai Yan speaks in earnest, “it’s pointless even if you try to divide them with your words. Your uncle will not believe you.”
Going stiff in her body, the helpless girl could only smile ironically at herself: “It’s he who married that woman. The one that should be guilty is him, not us. Why must we the Lan House as a whole foot his bill? Cousin, I am really dissatisfied with this.”
Staying silent for a good moment, Bai Yan finally speaks after making a soft sigh: “I will only give you this advice, you will only confuse yourself if you keep fussing over this matter of breaking or not to break.”
Biting her lips until blood could be seen, Lan Xiaoyun needed a good minute before she can come to. But when she did, those eyes were firm and convinced.
“I understand Cousin, this time I will definitely have Mother sever her relationship with Uncle even if it means making my grandparents sad!”
The sadness with her grandparents will only be a temporary one. Besides, the fact that her mother was their daughter will never change so there’s no harm there, but continuing on with this relationship may have dire consequences that could effect ones life.
Suddenly stopping before a building, Lan Xiaoyun knew this was the place. Inhaling deeply, she slowly pushes open the door.
Creakkk!
Accompanying this sound of wood grinding against metal was a hollering shout of old and pain: “What are you people coming back here again for?! Do you really want to force your old mother into the graves?”
Of course, this sentence can’t possibly be meant for the granddaughter here. Just that, the remark was enough to send Lan Xiaoyun into a terrible fright of horrific grey.
“Grandfather, what happened to Grandmother?”
The number of people lying on the bed wasn’t just Dong Ruolan – the girl’s mother – there’s also the sobbing mess of the old madam….
Stunned by the familiarity of that voice, Dong Tian Ling was the first to glance over with his old head, “Granddaughter, what are you doing here?”
“Tell me what is going on, how did the dispute occur between my mother and that woman? And how did Grandmother become like this? Where’s my second brother?” Her delicate body was literally trembling from the sight due to how aghast she was. In only a few steps, her emotional self was already clinging to the bedside, ready to collapse from her own tears.
Against that bombardment of a question, the old lord’s complexion was very stiff, as if unsure how to explain this. Rather it was the old madam who came to and spoke first. Shaking her old weeping head, her voice was soft: “Oh my dear Xiaoyun, you shouldn’t have come back. Your aunt wants to gift you to the third prince, but because your mother refused the idea, she’s been left in this state.”
Boom!
Like a lightning bolt striking down from the sky, Lan Xiaoyun was left completely brain dead there. Her mind a total blank.
That woman wants to give me to that third prince? Because of that reason, she injured Mother to this state?
It was then a delicate hand came stretching over. Tapping the girl on the shoulder, it was soothing and comforting, bringing Lan Xiaoyun back to her senses.
How could I have forgotten, I still have my cousin here! As long as Bai Yan is here then those people can never succeed!
“Xiaoyun, let me have a look at Aunt’s condition.”
