As Baili Hongzhuang's voice fell, Lan Jingkuang's face grew even darker, and his gaze towards Baili Hongzhuang couldn't hide his hostility.
"Damn girl!" Lan Qingkuang couldn't help but become anxious. "Baili Hongzhuang, don't spew nonsense!"
"I'm spewing nonsense?" Baili Hongzhuang chuckled. "Since I came to the Lan family, you've falsely accused me, poisoned me, and now you're accusing me of spewing nonsense. It seems like you've exhausted all the good and bad things to say about me."
"Lan Qingkuang, shut up!" Lan Jingkuang angrily reprimanded. The situation was already extremely troublesome for them. Lan Qingyan's coronation ceremony was scheduled for tomorrow, and if they failed at this critical moment, they might not have another chance in the future.
After all, repeated failures would cause the Lan family to lose faith in Lan Qingyan.
Lan Qingyan was taken aback by Lan Jingkuang's outburst, and she was frightened into silence.
"Aunt, speak up," Lan Jingkuang slowly said.
Compared to the previous threats and tension, Lan Jingkuang's current gaze was filled with indifference and a do-or-die resolve.
Yue Siqing couldn't help but feel a sense of apprehension as she looked at Lan Jingkuang. When they plotted against the Baili family in the past, she had witnessed Lan Jingkuang's cruelty and ruthlessness.
This guy was naturally a cunning and vicious wolf.
Once he held a grudge against someone, he could strike at any moment.
If she were to implicate Lan Jingkuang and the others now, she might get some satisfaction, but her own situation would become even worse.
On the contrary, if she took full responsibility for this matter, Lan Jingkuang should find a way to save her.
After weighing the pros and cons, Yue Siqing nodded, her face displaying a resolute expression.
"That's right, I alone am responsible for this matter, and nobody else was aware of it. You're just a little brat who dares to humiliate me in public. How can I feel at ease if I don't teach you a lesson?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lan Jingkuang and his group couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as they weren't implicated, it would be good.
Otherwise, if the family head used this as an opportunity to deal with them, it wouldn't be difficult at all.
Baili Hongzhuang chuckled, "If you claim that you alone are responsible for this matter, then was this seat also deliberately arranged by you?"
Lan Kaicheng and the others were taken aback. Initially, it was just to facilitate the poisoning of Baili Hongzhuang, but now it seemed that there were flaws everywhere.
"I am the Young Master's aunt, and I requested them to arrange this. They simply helped me out. What's wrong with that?" Yue Siqing spoke without restraint since she had decided to shoulder all the blame. She took all the responsibility upon herself.
This time, she was one step behind Baili Hongzhuang, but she would never let Baili Hongzhuang go unpunished in the future!
Being defeated by such a young junior was an indescribable shame for Yue Siqing!
"I didn't expect Aunt to have such thoughts. Since I helped Aunt in this matter, I can't shirk the blame either. Baili Young Miss, I apologize to you," Lan Jingkuang bowed to Baili Hongzhuang, his attitude sincere and regretful, with a hint of remorse in his eyes.
Retreating in order to advance.
Baili Hongzhuang sneered inwardly. Lan Jingkuang truly lived up to his reputation as a seasoned player. His tricks were flawless.
