Chapter 110: The Rules of a Wealthy Family's Daughter-in-Law

“Ruan Mianmian, I knew you married my son for his money. Now that the wedding is over, you’re not even pretending anymore, are you?” Lin Yuzhi was infuriated by Ruan Mianmian’s few words.

Ruan Mianmian glanced at Qi Yan, who was quietly listening nearby, and said with a smile, “That’s right, Mrs. Lin. I married Yan for his money. I’m done pretending—I’m laying my cards on the table.”

Her phone was on speaker at that moment!

Honestly, when does Lin Yuzhi not call?

What seemed like a complicated plot actually had a simple solution: another medical examination immediately, using facts to uncover the truth. Everything would come to light.

After Luo Yange’s death, he had explained the sequence of events to the clan leader of the Luo Zhi tribe, hoping it would put an end to the matter. But to his shock, problems still arose. The person who opened the city gate was a close confidant of the Luo Zhi tribe.

Ling Dongwu felt her heart drop with a thud—so that was it. It was Luo Yange’s vanity playing tricks.

His figure was much taller than hers, and the clothes she wore were large on her, from inside out. The sky-blue brocade robe was especially too big to fill out. She tied her belt and adjusted the overly long sleeves, then looked up to find him already awake, smiling warmly at her.

All afternoon, the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion and the Yue Xian Palace were bustling with soldiers and officials handling the morning’s court audience. The grand doors of the Lan Kui Hall remained closed and did not open again.

Luo Xuan waited from high noon until the sun set, then from the crimson dusk until the moon rose, but there was no sign of activity inside Lan Kui Hall, nor did Juesheng pass by.

The next day, after the heavy snow cleared, Ling Dongwu knew she could no longer delay. She packed her belongings again, preparing to leave. Suddenly, faint cannon sounds echoed from the mountains below.

Shu Chi, moving step by step to the bedside, thought to himself that given his current condition, he was only a pair of crutches away from being disabled.

This time, He Ze planned to head directly east, seizing the opportunity while Mu Zhanyue was fighting in Taixing to retake Yuzhou, cutting off Mu Zhanyue’s retreat route and trapping him between Yuzhou and Taixing, aiming for total annihilation.

Liu Guang hadn’t seen Qiangwei smile like that in ages; the sight left him momentarily stunned.

Jin Li caught his cold glare and snorted in response. “Hmph! What’s the matter? You don’t want me bringing her along?” As Mo Duo snorted coldly, his entire body radiated a similarly fierce aura, instantly intimidating the three beastmen of the Ape Tribe, including the proud and disdainful Jin Li toward Lan Ruoxin.

While thinking this over, he received a call from Mu Meiqing, who asked whether the events of yesterday were true.

We’ve encountered such situations often; mostly, we respond with silence. After all, being mute lets teachers or leaders vent their anger, and that’s about as much as you can take.

At the thought, tears welled up uncontrollably. Her senior would never come back, and she was powerless to stop it. She had no face to explain such a ridiculous matter.

“Weren’t you done using Karen? Why do you keep getting close to her?” Ke Ziqi lifted his gaze, eyes flashing with a cold, profound light.

“Heh... nothing special, just talked about that accident outside Longquan Temple,” Zhong Nan said frankly.

“Since you already know my purpose, Elder Zhang, can you tell me how Old Master Qi Diao died?” After taking a sip of tea, Ling Xiao asked directly.

Hannah shook her head. “It’s very likely a trap to lure us onto the island. If you go, you’re just walking to your death. Or perhaps this young lady should go up and take a look?” She looked towards Vivian.

With the death of the Left Commander, Zhiqiu Yeye leapt down from the cliff, slapping his palms repeatedly. Lightning bolts rained down, striking the embroidered guards, leaving them charred on the ground, dead.

Lance walked directly beneath the stone platform, watching as the vine that trapped a man was cut down, revealing a deep, dark cave. He looked up at Yue Bai.
