Because Old Li was there, they didnât knock on the door this time and just strutted in.
However, before they entered the living room, they heard an arrogant female voice from afar. âWhy didnât you give my daughter the antidote first?â
Leng Ruoxue stopped in her tracks and looked up at Old Li, asking calmly, âWho is this woman?â
âThis woman is the mistress of the Hu family and also the aunt of the Lan familyâs young master,â Old Li explained.
âThe Hu Family? Iâve never heard of them.â Leng Ruoxueâs face was full of question marks. Was the Hu Family very famous? This woman actually yelled at the housekeeperâs office. Sigh! She really didnât know if she was dead or alive!
However, she was even more surprised that Yu Tian was actually able to endure it. Could it be that the Shadow League had fallen?
âMiss Leng, are we still going in?â Old Li asked carefully.
âCome in! Why not?â Leng Ruoxue chuckled as she walked into the living room with the demon.
âEh! Why are you guys here?â After Yu Tian saw Leng Ruoxue, he kept giving her meaningful looks. Then, he glared at Old Li who was beside Leng Ruoxue.
âButler Yu has a guest? Looks like we came at the wrong time!â Leng Ruoxue pretended to be stupid as she smiled. However, she did not have any intention of leaving. Instead, she found a seat and sat down. The demon sat beside her and Feng Da and the rest did not need to greet her.
âButler Yu, you must give me an explanation. Why didnât you give the antidote to my daughter first? My daughter is the future Young Madam of the Lan family. The Lan family will not let you off.â A woman who had been ignored shouted at the top of her lungs.
Leng Ruoxue, who was sitting at the side, lifted her beautiful eyes and sized up the woman who spoke. The woman in front of her was about 40 years old. She looked ordinary and her figure was long gone. As for her strength, it was so weak that it could be ignored. Moreover, this woman and Minâer looked quite similar. However, Minâer should be considered to have gained weight. At this moment, the woman was glaring fiercely at Butler Yu!
âMadam Hu, can you represent the Lan Clan?â Yu Tian sighed lightly and asked with slight uncertainty. Truthfully speaking, he had given the Lan Clanâs great master face, so he had tolerated this woman repeatedly. However, this woman thought that he was afraid of her! Hmph! How preposterous!
âOf course I can!â Madam Hu said domineeringly.
âButler Yu, thereâs a problem with your question! The great master of the Lan family is just sitting by the side! Why donât you just ask him directly?â Leng Ruoxue couldnât stand it anymore. Sigh! Just how cowardly was this Lan Lieâs father?! He actually let such an ignorant woman fool around. No wonder that damned old man Lan Tao refused to hand over the position of the family head.
âSir Lan, what do you think? Can Madam Hu represent the Lan Clan?â Yu Tian nodded before he asked. Actually, he was giving Lan Tian face by not asking earlier, but who would have expected Lan Tian to remain silent?
Lan Tian glanced at his beloved wife beside him. He didnât know what to say, so he could only remain silent.
âOf course she canât represent our Lan family!â Lan Lie could not bear it any longer. To be honest, there were times when he really did not understand why his father would indulge this woman so much. Was it because she was his motherâs younger sister?
âLieâer, sheâs your aunt!â A voice as gentle as water sounded helplessly.
âLan Lie, you heartlessâ¦â When Madam Hu heard that, she hurriedly tried to scold him. However, her words were interrupted by Lan Lie.
âSo what? Her surname isnât Lan!â Lan Lie said with a face full of anger. Just because this woman was his aunt and seemed to be indebted to his mother and son when they were young, their entire family had to treat her as their benefactor for the rest of their lives.
To be honest, all these years, this so-called aunt had been using the Lan familyâs name to gain benefits for her husbandâs family. He and his father had also turned a blind eye to it and pretended not to see it. Even if they had repaid her kindness back then, this auntâs ambition was really too great. She actually wanted to marry her daughter to him. Hmph! He didnât like that conceited and greedy cousin of his at all. If it wasnât for his mother, he wouldnât have bothered with that woman at all. Furthermore, after creating such a scandal, she actually wanted to enter the Lan family. He really didnât know what this pair of mother and daughter were thinking!
âMadam Hu, right? I was the one who gave Butler Yu the antidote.â Leng Ruoxue, who originally wanted to watch a good show, didnât want to play dumb anymore, so she directly said, sigh! Looking at these peopleâs acting skills, they probably wouldnât be able to put on a good show! And she had no interest in watching any further.
âItâs you? Then why didnât you give my daughter to me? Donât you know sheâs the future Young Madam of the Lan family?â After hearing Leng Ruoxueâs words, Madam Huâs anger was immediately ignited as she roared like a lion.
When Butler Yu saw this, he knew that Miss Leng was planning to remain calm. Hence, he pretended to be deaf and mute.
âWhy should I give it to her?â Leng Ruoxue asked in confusion.
âOf course you have to give it to her. Sheâs the future Young Madam of the Lan family,â Madam Hu emphasized.
âFuture? In other words, sheâs not! Madam Hu, I donât understand one thing! After what happened, do you think the Lan family will still allow her to enter?â Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
âWhat is it? Donât spout nonsense. My daughter was only poisoned! Nothing happened,â Madam Hu said evasively.
âMadam Hu, Young Master Lan is willing to be a spendthrift, but it doesnât mean that everyone is a fool. Who in the Shadow City doesnât know that Miss Hu Minâer has ten men at night, and sheâs spending the night with them!â Leng Ruoxue laughed evilly.
âMiss, you cannot speak such nonsense. This concerns a womanâs reputation!â The moment Leng Ruoxue finished speaking, her gentle voice sounded again.
Leng Ruoxue glanced at the middle-aged beauty who spoke. She thought to herself, Is this person Lan Lieâs mother? I really donât know if she was too well protected by her father and son, or if she was born so fair. Sigh! What a worrisome person. Now, she suddenly felt some sympathy for Lan Lie.
âDonât spout nonsense! My daughter is innocent.. Donât slander her!â At this time, Madam Hu also reacted and shouted furiously.
