Such a background, I'm afraid no one can accept it calmly.
If Lan Yunxiao and his wife perished, then Baili Hongzhuang would bear deep-seated enmity!
Just the thought of the vast Lan family made Emperor Beichen feel heavy-hearted.
"Have you been able to find out if my parents are still alive?" Even Baili Hongzhuang, who usually remained composed, couldn't help but feel anxious when asking this question.
She had never seen her parents, but she could feel their love for her.
She only hoped that her parents were still alive so that there might be a chance for them to reunite.
Otherwise, even if the Lan family was enormous, she would completely destroy the family that had ruined her own!
"After Lan Yunxiao and his wife left the Lan family, they disappeared without a trace. I have been investigating, but so far, I haven't received any news," Emperor Beichen said with a hint of concern as he looked at Baili Hongzhuang. The current situation of Lan Yunxiao and his wife was probably Baili Hongzhuang's greatest obsession.
After all, anyone in the same situation would be extremely concerned.
That's why, after almost confirming Baili Hongzhuang's identity, he immediately tried to find out the whereabouts of Lan Yunxiao and his wife.
Unfortunately, the incident in the Lan family was shrouded in secrecy, and coupled with Lan Yunxiao and his wife's attempts to evade pursuit, their route was well concealed.
Even though he had sent many people to inquire about the news, they hadn't obtained any useful information so far.
Baili Hongzhuang's expression remained unchanged. This outcome didn't exceed her expectations.
Lan Yunxiao had been hunted down, and the sight of the blood-soaked swaddling cloth when Qin Yayun adopted her clearly showed how tragic the situation had been.
Since they were evading pursuit, Lan Yunxiao must have done everything possible to conceal their escape route.
For Emperor Beichen to investigate this information now was naturally extremely difficult, but... she believed that if Lan Yunxiao and his wife were still alive, they would definitely come back to find her.
From their willingness to risk their lives for her safety, she could see how deep their love for her was.
If they didn't return, the prospects wouldn't be promising.
With these thoughts, Baili Hongzhuang's heart sank. If they truly perished, she would make the entire Lan family pay for her parents' burial!
Emperor Beichen placed a hand on Baili Hongzhuang's shoulder and gently patted her back. "My wife, we'll take it step by step, and we'll eventually understand everything from the past."
Feeling Emperor Beichen's genuine concern, the coldness in Baili Hongzhuang's eyes diminished slightly.
She turned her gaze to Emperor Beichen, and a hint of gratitude flashed in her bright, black eyes.
She had only made a simple request, yet Emperor Beichen had done so much for her.
Considering the tasks he must have had upon returning, such as leaving Hei Mu to protect her and sending people to inquire about the Lan family, his thoughtfulness exceeded her expectations, leaving her with an indescribable sense of gratitude.
Baili Hongzhuang had always believed in treating others with respect when they respected her. The way Emperor Beichen treated her had imprinted deeply in her heart.
"Thank you for gathering so much information for me." Her black pupils shimmered with a grateful light, and Baili Hongzhuang's voice was sincere. "During this time, you've worked hard."
Seeing that Baili Hongzhuang wasn't engulfed in sadness, Emperor Beichen also breathed a sigh of relief.
After gathering this information, he realized the weight of the grudge Baili Hongzhuang carried.
