Lan Ya, thinking she was going to die anyway, gathered her courage and said, "Eldest Sister, I don't want to marry Young Master Lin. I heard from the maids that he's greedy for money and lustful, and already has over a dozen concubines. I don't want to become a matriarch in such a household."
Thinking of her tragic fate, tears welled up in her eyes, and she cried harder and harder.
Heaven, is this sister made of water! Lan Yan glanced at Jun Ye Lan with no trace of emotion in her eyes. However, Jun Ye Lan was a formidable person, perhaps he was moved in his heart.
It was time to show her charm. She said, "Lan Ya, stop crying for now. I know what's going on, and I won't let you marry him. Chun Tao, go and summon that Lin公子 to the manor and have him write the engagement annulment on the spot."
If she didn't handle this immediately, these people would think she was just saying it.
Chun Tao left.
Lan Ya stopped crying, a flicker of anticipation rising in her heart.
An hour later, a portly man entered the front hall, rubbing his palms together and staring at Lan Yan with a cunning smile. "Greetings, Eldest Young Lady, Second Young Lady."
Based on looks alone, this Eldest Young Lady was undoubtedly more outstanding, but her temperament was not easy to marry. That's why he had gotten engaged to the second young lady.
Lan Yan showed no pleasantries. "I've heard you have quite a few people in your household."
"Isn't it normal for men to have three wives and four concubines!" Lin Sheng said with a chuckle. But when he smiled, the flesh on his face piled up, making him look particularly sleazy.
Lan Yan was speechless. Someone like this was not worthy of her sister, who was as delicate as water. She said, "My sister doesn't like you. Write the annulment directly."
"What!" Lin Sheng had no idea why he was summoned and immediately refused. "I will not write it."
Seeing Lan Ya's eyes redden, about to cry again, Lan Yan took the whip from her waist and placed it on the table. She called out, "Let me tell you too, if you don't write it today, you won't be leaving this door."
Lin Sheng shivered all over. This Eldest Young Lady was terrifying. He didn't want to be beaten, so he quickly begged for mercy, "I'll write it."
He sat down, reluctantly wrote the engagement annulment, and inwardly thought that since he hadn't brought anyone this time, he would get his revenge next time.
After writing, Chun Tao handed it to Lan Yan.
Lan Yan looked at it with satisfaction and said to Lin Sheng, "Get lost." She then gave the annulment to Lan Ya and said, "You can rest assured now." She walked towards the door, thinking of going to see Jun Ye Lan.
Behind her, Lan Ya's eyes welled up with tears of joy. She looked at Lan Yan's retreating back and murmured, "Eldest Sister, thank you."
However, she also had a trace of doubt. Why did Eldest Sister suddenly change? Was it because of the Snake Clan man she saw just now!
Lan Yan had already returned to her room and saw Jun Ye Lan sitting as before. She then smiled and said, "I've successfully resolved the matter. Now Lan Ya won't cry anymore."
As she spoke, she sat down and drank some water, stealing glances at Jun Ye Lan from time to time. She had already "mended her ways," yet Jun Ye Lan showed no reaction.
Jun Ye Lan was also puzzled by Lan Yan's changes over the past two days. She was indeed very different. However, he didn't believe that a person could change their disposition so easily. Either it was a different person, or there was another purpose.
He couldn't figure it out for the moment.
Just as Lan Yan breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Jun Ye Lan hadn't shown his previous expression, Chun Tao arrived.
"Miss, what should we do with the previous cage?"
"What cage?" Lan Yan couldn't recall. Seeing Chun Tao looking at Jun Ye Lan, whose veins were bulging on the back of his hand, she suddenly remembered.
Heaven, it was the cage the original owner had used to confine Jun Ye Lan.
She was about to explain, but Jun Ye Lan had already stood up and left, not leaving a trace of his sleeve. She was miserable!
