Chapter 2017 - In the past, Mu Lingbing

The poison powder created by Baili Hongzhuang was not the first time it had been used. Previously, it had been transformed into pills and given to Prince Nangong Aochen in the Qingxiao Kingdom. As a result of the poison powder, the royal family of Qingxiao Kingdom was severely affected, and their vitality couldn't recover in a short period.

Since the Yue Family was a prominent medical and poison-related clan, they possessed knowledge and expertise beyond others. Therefore, Baili Hongzhuang had to improve the poison powder to achieve a certain effect.

Baili Hongzhuang had previously researched this matter but found it excessively malicious, so she didn't produce it. However, facing a family like the Yue Family, no matter how wicked the means, it was inconsequential.

Even in such circumstances, Baili Hongzhuang focused on concocting the poison powder. Perhaps this was the only way she could find peace within herself.

The three spirit beasts quietly stood by, observing their master creating the poison powder, while contemplating their actions for the night.

Meanwhile, in Yuesiqing's residence, a different scene unfolded.

Yue Manlan and Lan Qingyan accompanied Yuesiqing into the dungeon. The dim and damp environment made Yue Manlan and Lan Qingyan furrow their brows involuntarily. It was unbearable for them, who were used to a life of luxury.

As soon as Yue Manlan and Lan Qingyan saw Yuesiqing, their faces turned gloomy. They felt that enduring whatever torture they experienced in the dungeon was not the most difficult part. The real humiliation came whenever people like Lan Jingkuang and his group visited.

Mulan Bing's gaze fell on Lan Qingyan. Yue Manlan's sister, Lan Qingyan, was only a bit younger than her. If Qingyan were still alive, she would be around the same age.

Unfortunately, because of the people before them, she no longer had a chance to see Qingyan.

As a mother, this was the greatest pain in her life!

Yue Manlan and Lan Qingyan felt uncomfortable under Mulan Bing's hateful and resentful gaze. It sent chills down their spines.

"Mulan Bing, no matter how you view us, you are destined to be a prisoner in the end!" Yue Manlan said coldly. She detested Mulan Bing's gaze and despised the gloomy dungeon.

Mulan Bing looked at Yue Manlan with cold eyes. "Those who commit many injustices will bring about their own destruction. Yue Manlan, I want to see how long you can remain arrogant and proud. You have done such despicable and filthy things, yet you still dress in a splendid manner. Everything you have is stolen. No matter how you pretend, in the end, you are nothing more than a miserable failure!"

The thought of how she used to see Yue Manlan as a sister-in-law, and they had a great relationship where they talked about everything, made Mulan Bing feel nauseous.

Indeed, in the past, she had too much and was immersed in her own happiness, never paying attention to the scheming minds of these despicable individuals.

Listening to Mulan Bing's words, Yue Manlan couldn't help but think of the times when she was constantly suppressed by Mulan Bing. It was a humiliating memory she didn't want to recall.

As a daughter of the Yue Family, she was supposed to have a splendid marriage, but after marrying into the Lan Family, she was always overshadowed by Mulan Bing. In terms of appearance, strength, and charm, she couldn't compare to Mulan Bing. It felt like wherever Mulan Bing was, Yue Manlan became a supporting role, and everyone's attention was focused on Mulan Bing.

How could she endure such a situation?
