"Lan Qingyan, how shameless can you be to say such words in front of my parents? Your audacity rivals that of city walls!"
Bai Li Hongzhuang's lips curled into a faint smile as she mockingly looked at Lan Qingyan. The latter, who couldn't bear the passive situation anymore, wanted to salvage everything.
Lan Qingyan's expression changed slightly, but her attitude remained resolute. She had already made up her mind and would not admit any connection to this matter, no matter what Bai Li Hongzhuang said. This was her only hope of winning.
"Lan Qingyan, don't spout nonsense! Who gave you the right to determine the truth? If I say it didn't happen, then it didn't!"
Mu Lingbing and Lan Yundiao frowned upon witnessing this scene. They knew the true facts better than anyone else.
"Yundiao, Lan Qingyan's behavior is strikingly similar to Lan Jingkuang and Yue Manlan. If she stays, she will likely cause trouble in the future."
Mu Lingbing couldn't help but want to step forward and reveal the truth, but Lan Yundiao held her hand and stopped her.
"Don't rush. Let the younger generation handle their own affairs."
Hearing this, Mu Lingbing hesitated for a moment but regained her determination after her gaze fell upon Bai Li Hongzhuang. Her daughter was much more outstanding than Lan Qingyan.
"Lan Jingkuang and Yue Manlan have been supporting you to become the future head of the Lan Family. They haven't hidden anything from you. I personally saw you coming out of the dungeon when I went to the Yue Family to save my parents. It wasn't just me; Emperor Beichen also witnessed it. Do I have to bring witnesses to prove it before you accept the truth?"
As these words were spoken, Lan Qingyan's face changed abruptly, and her hands under her sleeves trembled uncontrollably. There were witnesses!
"Emperor Beichen has always been on your side. How can his words be trusted?"
Bai Li Hongzhuang narrowed her phoenix-like eyes and smiled lightly. "How about this? Shall I go find the head of the Yue Family and use some means to make him speak the truth?"
Everyone hadn't forgotten how skilled Bai Li Hongzhuang was in medicine and the terrifying nature of her poison techniques.
"Even then, you would be using coercive tactics!"
Lan Qingyan glared at Bai Li Hongzhuang angrily, refusing to say any more.
"According to the family rules, the owner of the Rainbow Divine Bead will become the head of the Lan Family. Have you all forgotten about this?" Lan Qingyan's face radiated with confidence and certainty. She didn't believe that everyone could overlook the importance of the Rainbow Divine Bead.
As Lan Qingyan's words fell, indeed, the elders' faces showed hesitation. This was the matter they cared most about!
If it weren't for the Rainbow Divine Bead in Lan Qingyan's hands, it would be unquestionable that Bai Li Hongzhuang would become the next head of the Lan Family.
For the Lan Family, the Rainbow Divine Bead was of utmost importance. Throughout the history of the Lan Family, the owner of the Rainbow Divine Bead had always been the spiritual leader of the family—a level of influence that ordinary people couldn't compare to.
Although Lan Yixuan was the true chosen one for the Rainbow Divine Bead, it was currently in Lan Qingyan's possession.
It was precisely because of the significance of the Rainbow Divine Bead that Lan Jingkuang caused such a big disturbance nineteen years ago, and they had to protect them. Now, in this situation, they didn't know how to choose.
Observing the hesitation on everyone's faces, the smile in Lan Qingyan's eyes deepened. This was her greatest trump card!
