Lan Borong nodded, knowing that Lan Hongtai always had sufficient reasons for his actions. The current situation was indeed unfavorable, and Lan Hongtai was feeling a bit anxious. After all, the incident had just occurred at noon, and the family head's actions had attracted a lot of attention.
Over the years, the family head's intentions had always been clear. If he were to attend, it would likely trigger Lan Jingkuang's actions.
"Borong, keep a close eye on Jingkuang's movements. Under no circumstances should anyone harm Baili Hongzhuang!" Lan Hongtai's face turned cold and stern. He had caused a lifelong regret due to his negligence, and he would never allow such a thing to happen again!
"Don't worry, family head. I've already assigned people to keep an eye on it. We'll detect any suspicious activities immediately," Lan Borong reassured.
Lan Hongtai nodded, his face showing a satisfied expression.
"I heard that Baili Hongzhuang performed brilliantly at noon today?" Lan Hongtai finally asked, smiling, referring to the incident at the banquet. He had already known that Lan Jingkuang and others were planning to make a move against Baili Hongzhuang, which is why he had sent Lan Borong to keep an eye on the situation. If things escalated, he might be able to intervene and prevent harm from coming to Baili Hongzhuang.
Based on the information he had received, it seemed that Baili Hongzhuang's performance had been exceptional, breaking all of Lan Jingkuang's plans.
Lan Borong also smiled and said, "Indeed, Baili Hongzhuang's performance today was truly remarkable. Despite being confronted by Jingkuang and the others, she remained calm and confident."
It was likely that anyone who witnessed Baili Hongzhuang's performance today would be amazed. She was truly outstanding.
Similarly, the current situation had also made them understand Emperor Beichen and Mo Yunjue's stance. They were firmly on Baili Hongzhuang's side, and no interests could break that alliance.
As Lan Hongtai listened to Lan Borong's detailed account, a flush of color appeared on his face, reminding him of the days when Lan Yunxiao was in the family.
...
Lan Qingyan returned to her room with a perplexed expression. She was truly puzzled and couldn't understand what made Baili Hongzhuang so special.
Almost all the elders had shown a shocked expression upon seeing Baili Hongzhuang, and she couldn't fathom the reason behind it.
Lan Qingyan had been unable to ask Lan Jingkuang earlier due to the circumstances, so she decided to discuss it with Yue Manlan now. However, it became apparent that such a discussion would be pointless.
Yue Manlan had never seen Baili Hongzhuang's appearance and instead displayed a look of surprise.
"Why does everyone look at Baili Hongzhuang with such strange expressions? What's the reason?" Lan Qingyan sighed, realizing that there was no point in continuing the conversation.
Her mother had always remained on the outskirts of the family's core for so many years.
"Forget it, I'll wait until Father returns to discuss it," Lan Qingyan said with a lack of interest as she returned to her room. Observing Lan Qingyan's demeanor, Yue Manlan's face became increasingly awkward.
It seemed that now, whether it was the Yue family, Lan Jingkuang, or even Lan Qingyan herself, they all held her in extreme disdain.
This was not the feeling she desired...
