Chapter 437: The Shameless First Elder of the Lan Family (3)

“I’m a good child, and I never lie. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your Lan family’s young master! Ah! No, Lan Lie is no longer the young master!” Leng Ruoxue said as if she had just realized it.

“Lass, who told you that Lan Lie isn’t the young master?” the first elder asked with slight displeasure, his forehead full of black lines.

“Lan Ning’er!” Leng Ruoxue answered very innocently.

“How can you believe her words? Lan Lie is still the young master of our Lan family,” the first elder said very seriously.

“She is the most favored fifth young lady of the Lan family! Even Lan Lie has to be wary of her. Of course her words are trustworthy,” Leng Ruoxue said stubbornly.

“Lass, do you have an invitation for the medicinal herb exchange?” The first elder wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and changed the topic.

“Of course we do. Our invitation was personally sent by your former young master. Unfortunately! It was denied by Lan Ning’er.” Leng Ruoxue pretended to be regretful.

“Lass, I’ll say it one last time. Our Lan family’s young master hasn’t changed. It’s still Lan Lie,” the first elder said with a slight headache. He realized that he really couldn’t communicate with Leng Ruoxue.

“B-but…” Leng Ruoxue wanted to argue but was interrupted by Freak.

“Xue’er, let’s not argue with the Lan family anymore. If he said they didn’t change him, then so be it! It’s only a matter of time before he’s changed anyway,” Freak said understandingly.

“Yes, that’s true. In fact, Lan Lie’s position as the young master is quite low. Lan Ning’er calls him names all day long and doesn’t take him, the young master, seriously at all. Alas! As Lan Lie’s friends, we can’t bear to watch any longer. The Lan family is really too lawless. The children of the concubines are all riding on the heads of the main family.” Leng Ruoxue and Freak discussed as if no one else was around.

“That’s right. I’m also the child of a concubine. I don’t even dare to speak loudly in front of those from the main family.” Freak agreed very much.

At the side, the first elder finally understood after listening for a long time. These two people were deliberately putting on an act together! But even though what they said was reasonable, the Lan family’s face and foundation were all lost by them now. This couldn’t do!

The first elder’s eyes kept darting around as he said indifferently, “Lass! Do you know that our Lan family has become a laughing stock because of your words?”

“What does that have to do with me? It’s your family’s upbringing. Even if I don’t speak, many people will discuss it in private. If you don’t believe me, you can go to Blue Cloud City to ask around! See what the people say?” Leng Ruoxue suggested kindly.

“Uh! Lass, let’s discuss this later. Let’s talk about the medicinal herb exchange first! Since you have our Lan family’s invitation, how about I invite you into the city as the Lan family’s first elder?” the first elder said very cordially with a kind smile. In fact, how could he not know the opinions of the people in the city! It was just that the patriarch had his own thoughts, and it was inconvenient for him to say it without seriously harming the Lan family’s interests.

“We’ve almost exchanged everything. There’s no need to enter the city anymore, so thank you for your good intentions,” Leng Ruoxue declined politely.

“How dare you refuse First Elder’s good intentions. I think you don’t want to live anymore.” Lan Fei, who had just woken up, was furious after hearing Leng Ruoxue’s refusal to enter the city!

“Eh! Don’t tell me you pretended to faint? Why did you wake up so quickly? It’s such a pity. How good would it be if you couldn’t wake up for a long time!” Leng Ruoxue said angrily.

As soon as Leng Ruoxue finished speaking, bursts of low laughter emerged from the crowd. Even the Lan family members present couldn’t help turning their heads, covering their mouths, and laughing secretly.

Leng Ruoxue glanced at Lan Fei and the Lan family members behind him. Looks like the second master of the Lan family isn’t popular in the Lan family! This will be much easier.

“Ahem, lass! You’re really too unkind. How can you say what’s on your mind?” The third elder pretended to reprimand her. What he implied was that she could say it in her heart!

“I always say whatever comes to my head!” Leng Ruoxue said cooperatively while looking at the third elder aggrievedly.

“Lan Fei, I’m talking to this lass. Why are you interrupting?” the first elder said with some displeasure.

“First Elder, I…” Lan Fei wanted to argue, but the first elder didn’t give him the chance at all!

“What about me? Can’t you see that I’m cleaning up your mess? It’s fine if you don’t reflect on yourself, but you actually caused more trouble!” the first elder reprimanded, his face full of dissatisfaction with him.

“First Elder!” Lan Fei was depressed. He was the second master of the Lan family after all. The first elder actually lectured him in public. He really didn’t give him face. He was so angry! However, he didn’t dare to talk back in front of the first elder at all, so he could only bear with it!

“Lan Fei, I order you to return to the Lan family estate immediately to reflect. You are not allowed to leave your room by even half a step without my permission,” the first elder said resolutely.

The first elder turned and ordered the guards beside him, “Send the second master back.”

“Yes, First Elder,” the guards replied and then half forced Lan Fei back to the Lan family estate.

“Lass, now that the eyesore has left, can we have a good talk?” the first elder said warmly, as if he was the Big Bad Wolf coaxing Little Red Riding Hood.

“But I really don’t need to enter the city anymore,” Leng Ruoxue said honestly. She was planning to leave.

“Lass, you’ve messed up our Lan family’s medicinal herb exchange. You have to compensate us!” The first elder glared at Leng Ruoxue and pretended to be pitiful.

“You’re mistaken. I didn’t ruin your exchange. It was Lan Ning’er, so you can’t blame me for this!” Leng Ruoxue didn’t want to take the blame for others!

“So you want to be irresponsible!” the first elder said pitifully as if he was about to cry.

“I don’t have any responsibilities! Okay, we’re leaving now,” Leng Ruoxue said bluntly. The Lan family is really too strange. I should stay away from them!

The moment Freak and the others, as well as the alchemists present, heard Leng Ruoxue say that she was leaving, they immediately packed up and prepared to leave, lest the Lan family vented their anger on them. Moreover, they had almost exchanged the herbs they wanted to exchange for, so staying would be a waste of time.
