Irony Baili

As Baili Hongzhuang's words fell, the expressions of Lan Jingkuang and the others turned slightly awkward. Their confident accusations had unexpectedly been turned against them. It was something they had never anticipated.

In that moment, the gazes of everyone turned towards Yue Siqing, tinged with a hint of disgust. They couldn't believe that Yue Siqing would go to such lengths to take all the credit for herself.

In the past few days, Yue Siqing had been acting extremely proud, portraying herself as the great benefactor of the Lan family. But it was all a facade, and she shamelessly enjoyed it.

Lan Jingkuang's face darkened, and his gaze towards Yue Siqing was filled with anger. If only it had been discovered by the Lan family members, it would have been manageable. But now, it was exposed in front of others.

Even though they were unaware, in the eyes of Baili Hongzhuang and the others, they would surely be seen as colluding, bringing shame upon the entire Lan family.

Yue Siqing was well aware of how embarrassing it was to be exposed like this, something she had never expected. This young Baili Hongzhuang seemed to be cautious and had come prepared.

But strangely, as Yue Siqing looked at Baili Hongzhuang's exquisite appearance, she couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen her somewhere before. The figure seemed somewhat familiar, but she couldn't recall when they had met.

However, there was no denying that Yue Siqing had fallen into a trap today.

"We, the three of us, came as guests of the Lan family from afar. We never expected the Lan family to want to frame and accuse us. If you don't welcome us, just say it openly. Why resort to such a self-demeaning act?" Emperor Beichen's lips curled up, his handsome face exuding a bloodthirsty and menacing aura. Though it was a rhetorical question, it carried a hint of threat and anger.

If these were just ordinary young people, Lan Jingkuang and the others could ignore them. But their identities were not to be underestimated. If they mishandled the situation, the retaliation the Lan family would face would be unbearable.

"Even if your poison didn't put me on the brink of death, the pain I endured for the past three months was inflicted by you. Isn't that excessive?" Lan Qingyan glared angrily, as Baili Hongzhuang had swiftly refuted everything she said.

For her, the suffering she endured during those three months was the most unbearable.

"Heh..." Baili Hongzhuang chuckled lightly, her phoenix eyes lifting slightly. A brilliant cold light flashed in her eyes, and her voice turned icy and low in an instant.

"Lan Qingyan, have you been living in an idealistic world all your life? It's well-known that losing one's life in this battle for supremacy is nothing out of the ordinary. If I had fallen into your hands back then, I would've died long ago, I presume!

If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being incapable!

I didn't aim to take your life with the poison; it was already lenient of me, considering the face of the Lan family. Even if the poison I used was lethal, what can you do about it now?

If the entire Lan family questions me solely on this basis, once it spreads, it will only make you a laughingstock!" Emperor Beichen and Mo Yunjue couldn't help but show a trace of speechless amusement at the reason she presented. It was truly laughable.
