Who cares about belated family affection? Family members beg for forgiveness

Lan Kexin and Chunmei just stepped into the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.

Butler Uncle Li quickly came forward and said:

"Miss, the Marquis is waiting for you in the study."

Lan Kexin raised her eyebrows and rolled her eyes, wondering what this cheap father wanted her to do?

She didn't ask any more questions and took Chunmei directly to the study.

When the servant Fuan saw them appear, a smile appeared on his face.

"The eldest girl is here, the Marquis is waiting!"

Then he turned around and knocked gently on the door.

"My Lord, the eldest lady is back."

"Come in." An unhappy voice came.

The servant pushed open the study door and invited Lan Kexin in, but stopped Chunmei.

A trace of worry appeared on Chunmei's face as she watched Lan Kexin enter the study.

Fuan closed the door and looked at Chunmei with disdain.

"What are you worried about? This is the Marquis's study. Is it possible that the Marquis would do something to his own daughter?"

Chunmei pursed her lips and muttered to herself, "Who knows? Has he ever cared about a girl?"

She turned around and went back to Wutong Courtyard.

Lan Kexin glanced at Lord Lan and Lan Muqing in the study.

I was a little surprised. Was there something important he wanted to tell her?

Is it necessary to look at her seriously?

After Lan Kexin saluted them both, she waited quietly for them to speak.

Lord Lan glanced at Lan Muqing and immediately coughed lightly:

"Ke Xin, what else can you do?"

Lan Kexin raised her eyebrows slightly and asked in confusion:

"What do you mean by asking this? Or do you want to learn something from me?"

Lan Muqing was disdainful. Those country things were not presentable. Did he need to learn them?

"Today is your first time in the palace. You acted differently, and the Emperor is just finding it strange. My elder brother and father are just worried about you. What if your performance next time displeases the Emperor? What will you do then?"

Lan Kexin looked at Lan Muqing sarcastically:

"So, are you starting to care about me now?"

Hearing Lan Kexin's sarcastic tone and her expression, Lord Lan couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the table in anger.

"Don't take your family's concern for you lightly."

Lan Kexin had an indifferent attitude:

"I'm not taking it lightly. From now on, as long as no one asks me to enter the palace, I will definitely not enter. What are you worried about? Isn't it the same as it has been for the past two years?"

Lord Lan was speechless. After what happened today, did he think that she would not be present at future palace banquets?

He didn't believe it. Those nobles thought her performance was fresh and new. Who wouldn't want to learn a thing or two from her?

From now on, she may be present at banquets of all sizes.

As long as this girl cooperates well with the Marquis' Mansion.

Perhaps in the future I can help the Marquis' Mansion gain more connections and power.

"Father asked you to come here today, not for any other reason, but because Wei'er has committed such a shameful act. You should teach Wei'er a lesson and help her clear her name..."

Lan Kexin suddenly realized that this might be the reason why they summoned her here today?

"I'm going to say no."

Lord Lan's face instantly turned dark when his daughter rejected his idea outright.

"That's your sister. Only when she's well can you be well."

Lan Kexin sneered: "Father, you are wrong. The better she is, the worse I will be, just like what happened at the banquet today.

Knowing that Miss Yang was going to attack me, she smiled and accompanied Miss Yang to frame me. Did she treat me as her own sister?

Lan Muqing instinctively rejected it:

"You misunderstood. Today, Miss Yang destroyed her own reputation. How could you push such an unreasonable thing onto Wei'er?"

Lan Kexin didn't want to argue with them too much.

He nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is your idea. I can't control your thoughts. If you say so, then so be it. Do you have anything else to do?"

Is there anything else? She hasn't agreed to what they're talking about yet, so how can she ask?

Seeing my daughter's stubborn attitude.

Although Lord Lan was furious, he had to suppress it.

He sighed deeply:

"Speaking of which, it's father who has treated you unfairly over the years. So, if you blame him, he won't say much. You shouldn't take this resentment out on Wei'er and your other brothers."

Lan Kexin looked at the Marquis with amusement and asked innocently.

"Father, are you sure I don't want to be friendly with them? I believe that anyone who is not blind can see my attitude. Since you think so, then let it be. I have something to leave first."

Watching Lan Kexin turn around and leave.

Lan Muqing shouted angrily:

"Stop, what's your attitude?"

There was a hint of coldness in Lan Kexin's eyes.

"Have you ever heard that if you don't agree with someone, you don't need to talk too much?"

Lord Lan stared at Lan Kexin's back with cold eyes and said in a low voice:

"You are now 15 years old. Your father will discuss with your mother and arrange a good marriage for you one day."

Lord Lan deliberately emphasized the word "good".

No matter how obvious the meaning is, it is just a threat to Lan Kexin and force her to submit.

Lan Kexin's footsteps suddenly stopped, thinking of Fu'an outside and the woman he kept outside.

She stopped moving and turned around quickly.

Said to Lan Muqing:

"I have something to say to my father. You can leave now."

Lan Muqing shook his sleeves:

"Humph! What's going on? Can't I hear it?"

Lan Kexin chuckled and looked at Lord Lan:

"Can you listen? You can't ask me. You should ask the Marquis who loves you and see if he will let you listen."

Lord Lan acted as if he was being honest and upright and there was nothing he couldn't hear.

He said simply, "Speak!"

Lan Kexin smiled, "Could it be that Big Brother also knows about the North Street Pear Courtyard?"

As soon as the four words "Beijie Liyuan" came out.

Lord Lan was startled, and he suddenly looked up at Lan Kexin.

His eyes were full of inquiry and blame.

Did she do this on purpose?

Deliberately leaving a doubt in the boss's mind.

Let the boss check it out himself.

Seeing that Lord Lan remained silent, Lan Kexin slowly spoke:

"Well, since Big Brother also knows about this, then Mother is really in vain..."

"Shut up!" Lord Lan roared.

Lan Kexin pretended not to know: "Can't Big Brother listen?"

Lord Lan's face was so black that water could be squeezed out of it.

We can't let this girl continue talking nonsense in front of the boss.

He simply waved his hand to signal Lan Muqing to go out.

"Boss, go out and see how Wei'er is doing. Don't let her get upset."

Lan Muqing looked at his father deeply.

He did not refute his father's words, but nodded obediently and left.

Before leaving, when he passed by Lan Kexin, he paused for a moment, looked carefully at the expression on her face, and a meaningful light flashed in his eyes.

Then, he left without saying a word.

The door opened and closed, and then all the sounds stopped.

It was quiet and Lan Kexin was not in a hurry at all.

Lord Lan did not have her patience and was the first to ask:

"What the hell do you know?"
