"It's quite a coincidence. If it weren't for the Lan family being completely unaware of Yue Siqing's deceit, they wouldn't have been caught off guard by us today," Bai Li Hong Zhuang said with a smile, feeling that even the heavens were helping her.
She thought that Yue Siqing had probably never been so embarrassed in all these years.
Beichen Yunjue's lips curved with a hint of a sinister smile. "In my opinion, Yue Siqing is in the worst situation now. I'm afraid the Lan family will soon go after her to hold her accountable."
"I hope Yue Siqing won't leave just like that. Otherwise, the show we planned for a month from now will be missing her," Bai Li Hong Zhuang said, her eyebrows slightly furrowing. She wanted Yue Siqing, Lan Jing Kuang, and the others to participate in the upcoming spectacle together. It wouldn't be as exciting without any of them.
"Yue Siqing wouldn't dare to leave," Mo Yunjue suddenly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Bai Li Hong Zhuang and Beichen Yunjue both looked at Mo Yunjue, curious about why he was so certain.
"Yue Siqing has always believed that the retaliation against the Yue family before was aimed at her. That's why she had to stay within the family to minimize the risks. Otherwise, with Yue Siqing's character, she would have left long ago and wouldn't have endured the humiliation here," Mo Yunjue explained.
As the young master of the Shitiange Tower, he was very knowledgeable about these matters.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang remembered that none of them had written anything on anyone else's door, but words were written on Yue Siqing's door. Moreover, Yue Siqing couldn't decipher the poison Bai Li Hong Zhuang had used, so she became fearful.
"That's true. With Yue Siqing's reputation over the years, she could have chosen to join any force and would have received decent treatment. But now, many people believe that the Yue family's downfall is closely related to Yue Siqing, which has made it difficult for anyone to extend an olive branch to her. This time, Yue Siqing is truly trapped with no way out," Beichen Yunjue realized the situation, understanding that until Yue Siqing figured out who her opponents were, she could only swallow her pride.
The three of them exchanged glances and smiled.
...
Lan Jing Kuang wasted no time and went straight to Yue Siqing's residence after the banquet ended.
Recently, Yue Siqing had gained the support of the Lan family after she helped cure Lan Qing Yan's poison. Therefore, she had been staying with the Lan family and not with the Yue family.
This arrangement was what Yue Siqing had requested herself.
She didn't know where her hidden enemies were, so staying within the protective circle of the Lan family provided her with more security.
When Lan Jing Kuang went to find Yue Siqing, Lan Qing Yan followed closely behind. Since her change in attitude, Lan Jing Kuang had nothing to hide from her.
Although this incident also had some connection with Lan Qing Yan, ultimately it was Yue Siqing's fault. After all, the previous Lan Qing Yan had already been tortured to the point of confusion and had no clear understanding of what happened.
Yue Siqing knew that Lan Jing Kuang would come to hold her accountable, so she waited for him in her room.
She never thought that things would come to this point, but since it had, she had no choice but to take it one step at a time.
After hearing the news, Yue Man Lan also rushed over. Although this incident had brought disgrace to the Lan family, it was easy for someone of her status to learn about the specific details.
"Aunt, how could you do such a thing!" Yue Man Lan sighed and couldn't help but show her frustration.
