So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

Then, Cang Lan remained calm and unhurriedly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, gently wiping the bloodstains splattered on her face while looking down at Fang Yuhong.

"Does this hairpin look familiar?"

A mocking smile played on her lips as she said leisurely, "This was a token of love that you and that slut Lin Shuang'er specially chose for me. Who would have thought that one day you'd die because of this hairpin? Hahahaha..."

Fang Yuhong instantly coughed up blood, his eyes wide open in death, filled with anger and resentment as he stared intently at Cang Lan.

Cang Lan seemed oblivious and continued, "Don't worry, that bitch Lin Shuang'er and your bastard child will be going down to join you soon. As for what happens to your mother and sister, that's none of my business."

The moment he finished speaking, the light in Fang Yuhong's eyes vanished completely, and he died instantly!

Cang Lan glanced at the corpse on the ground and scoffed, "Oh, no, how can you say I killed you? You were already dead."

With that, a cluster of eerie blue flames ignited at her fingertips, and she placed the hairpin upon the flames. The hairpin vanished instantly in the flames, leaving not a trace of ash.

Immediately afterwards, Canglan cast an illusion spell, and the blood hole that the hairpin had pierced through Fang Yuhong's head disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving his skin smooth as before, as if he had never been injured.

After doing all this, Canglan strode to the door, flung it open, and shouted in feigned panic, "Help! Help! Young Master Fang... Young Master Fang has fainted!"

Hearing the commotion, Fang Shi and Fang Yuwan, who were not far away, felt a sudden tightness in their chests and rushed over.

Fang was the fastest runner. As soon as she rushed into the house, she saw Fang Yuhong lying on the ground. Her face turned deathly pale instantly. She rushed over without thinking and kept asking, "Hong'er, what's wrong? What's wrong?"

With trembling hands, she reached for Fang Yuhong's breath, her fingertips touching his lifeless, cold breath. She felt as if struck by lightning and collapsed instantly.

She glared fiercely at Cang Lan and roared, "What did you do? My son was perfectly fine just now, how could he suddenly... suddenly die!"

Cang Lan looked completely innocent. "How would I know? He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and then collapsed to the ground. That's why I immediately called you all in. Judging from the looks of it, he probably died from the poison."

Upon hearing Canglan's words, Fang Shi was overcome with grief and burst into tears, crying out, "My son, my son, how could you die so suddenly? Ah! What sins have I committed!"

Hearing her mother's cries, Fang Yuwan quickly stepped forward to dissuade her: "Mother, keep your voice down. My eldest brother is already dead. If you keep crying, won't we give ourselves away?"

Fang was in the midst of extreme grief. Upon hearing her daughter's words, she didn't think twice and slapped Fang Yuwan across the face, crying out, "Your older brother is dead! You heartless wretch! All you thought about was whether someone would find out. Your older brother is really dead this time!"

After finishing her tirade, Fang turned and glared fiercely at Cang Lan, convinced that she was responsible for her son's death. She charged at Cang Lan recklessly, shouting, "It was you! You killed my son! The poison wasn't supposed to be lethal; it must have been you!"

Seeing this, Canglan shrugged. "Then go ahead and report it to the authorities. It has nothing to do with me anyway. If you don't believe me, go ahead and report it."

However, I wonder how the supposedly dead Prince Fang will suddenly reappear in the manor after you report it to the authorities? How will you explain that?"

She narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of mockery in her voice, "Oh, by the way, if the Emperor finds out you've committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor, your entire family will be executed." As she spoke, a gloating expression appeared on her face.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuwan's face turned deathly pale. She quickly grabbed Fang Shi's arm and said anxiously, "Mother, we can't report this to the authorities! We can't report this to the authorities! My brother is already dead, but you still have me. We absolutely cannot let the Emperor know about this!"

Despite her deep resentment, Fang could only swallow her anger after being persuaded by her daughter.

She knew in her heart that she couldn't announce her son's death, and she couldn't contact any doctors in the capital. If she did, all the secrets would be exposed.

Overwhelmed with grief at this thought, Fang threw herself onto Fang Yuhong's body again and burst into tears.

Although Fang Yuwan was also feeling bad, she still asked, "Princess, what did my elder brother say to you before he died?"

Upon hearing her daughter's words, Fang's crying subsided.

"He said……"

Cang Lan deliberately dragged out the words, his eyes full of mockery, "Before he died, he kept calling out... Shuang'er, Brother Ze's name."

"Who do you think are the two names a dying person will call out for the last time? Wouldn't it be the woman and child they love most?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Shi and Fang Yuwan's faces turned deathly pale. Fang Shi's heart-wrenching cries abruptly stopped, as if someone had choked her.

“My lady, how could that be! My son has only ever loved one girl in his life. Shuang’er is Hong’er’s cousin, but she has a pitiful background.”

Hong'er came back this time because he wanted to be with you again. Ze Ge was a child he specifically chose, one he wanted to adopt into your family. Before he died, he must have been worried about Ze Ge!

Canglan raised an eyebrow. "Oh, I see."

Seeing that Canglan remained unmoved, Fang quickly pressed her advantage: "Since this is Hong'er's last wish, could the county princess agree to raise Ze Ge under your name? This is also Hong'er's last wish."

Cang Lan's lips curled into a cold smile, and he interrupted without hesitation: "Stop! I am no longer a member of the Fang family."

Since Prince Fang is so worried about that child, why don't you, Madam, adopt him into your family?

"With such a legitimate reason, the child favored by Prince Fang must possess extraordinary qualities. If you nurture him carefully, he will surely achieve great things in the future."

Upon hearing this, Madam Fang looked troubled, bit her lip, and said, "But Princess, this is, after all, the child Hong'er hopes you will adopt..."

Cang Lan: "No, no, no, this child will naturally be raised by you, the prince's 'biological mother.' Wouldn't the prince be more at ease in the afterlife? If you entrust him to someone like me, who is not related to him by blood, do you think I would treat that child who has nothing to do with me well?"

Before Fang could speak again, Canglan raised his hand to interrupt, "Alright, what you need to do most right now is figure out how to dispose of Fang Shizi's body."

After saying that, Canglan ignored Fang Shi and Fang Yuwan and turned to leave Fang Shi's courtyard.

Meanwhile, Lin Shuang'er and her son, who were waiting for good news in the side courtyard, rushed to Fang's courtyard impatiently after waiting for so long without seeing Fang Yuhong return.

Unfortunately, I ran into Canglan, who was returning to Shangqing Academy!
