Xuan Yuanheng was like a demon at this moment, his bloodthirsty voice ringing in Feng Ran's ears: "Feng Ran, do you know? It was because of you that Lan Xian and Feng Jin's relationship ended without a hitch."
"If it weren't for you, Lan Xian and Feng Jin might have been living happily for a long time."
"Because of you, both of them were ruined."
After hearing these words, did Feng Ran lose even more courage to face Lan Xian, and did you feel that you owed Lan Xian even more?
Xuan Yuanheng's words were like a death knell.
Xuan Yuanheng's words made Feng Ran feel increasingly uncomfortable. These condemnatory words made it even harder for Feng Ran to lift her head.
However, she could not utter a word of defense. At this moment, in her heart, she was praying for Lan Xian, hoping that Lan Xian would not be affected by her.
Feng Ran fell silent.
However, her heart could not be as calm as when she first arrived.
At this moment, although she was unwilling to follow Xuan Yuanheng in, she had no choice.
Seeing Feng Ran like this, Xuan Yuanheng let out a cold sneer. Then, his hand fell on hers, gripping it tightly. "Let's go. My consort must behave well. Don't do anything that will embarrass me later."
Feng Ran was so frightened that she could barely walk properly, almost stumbling and falling.
And she was here today in the capacity of the Regent's consort. Just as Xuan Yuanheng said, she must not bring him any shame.
Looking at everything in the Lan family, it had changed and yet seemed unchanged.
Over the years, the Lan family had truly not changed at all; it was still the same as a few years ago.
The Lan family was once a prominent clan, but now there was no change.
It could be said to be fallen.
Feng Ran walked in under everyone's strange gazes.
The people nearby were whispering, and their words were undoubtedly directed at Feng Ran.
However, those people only dared to whisper behind her back, not daring to speak loudly.
Feng Ran raised her chin high and walked forward amidst the gossip and jealousy of those people.
The surrounding people's eyes were filled with envy at Xuan Yuanheng's appearance, even harboring thoughts of replacing him.
Some bolder ones even discussed Feng Ran more loudly, and Feng Ran, as she walked past, heard it clearly. But Feng Ran stopped in her tracks and gave a sharp glare, which startled those people so much that they almost fell to the ground.
Although Feng Ran had experienced a lot and suffered much torment over the years, the aura she possessed was still there.
"So Feng Ran has indeed regained her position as the Regent's consort."
"Yes. Wasn't she serving customers at Chun Manyuan?"
"You're still talking about Chun Manyuan?"
"Do you know? Chun Manyuan is gone."
"No way, Chun Manyuan is gone?"
"It is said that the Regent destroyed Chun Manyuan for Feng Ran."
"You two should be careful what you say."
"If you are overheard, you won't even have a chance to live."
"At this moment, not everything can be said casually."
There was chatter all around, and the eyes of those people remained fixed on Feng Ran and Xuan Yuanheng, never leaving.
Of course, everyone present was waiting to see Feng Ran make a fool of herself.
The Lan family was to choose a good husband for Lan Xian today and send her to the border. However, as everyone knew, the border was not a place for people to stay.
At this moment, everyone was watching Feng Ran, wondering what decision Feng Ran would make later.
The Lan family originally intended to curry favor with Xuan Yuanheng, as they were wondering if Xuan Yuanheng would come.
And finally, upon seeing Xuan Yuanheng, their faces were filled with excitement and joy. Xuan Yuanheng's arrival could allow them to show off to others.
But upon seeing Feng Ran, the Lan family's faces turned extremely unpleasant. They looked at Feng Ran with caution and vigilance: "Your Highness's arrival truly brings glory to the humble Lan family."
After saying this, their gaze fell on Feng Ran with a hint of coldness and displeasure: "How did this person come?"
"I recall that Feng Ran was not invited."
Old Master Lan glared at Feng Ran and reprimanded, "Feng Ran, it was because of you that the Lan family was ruined. How dare you appear here now?"
"Feng Ran, get out..."
Xuan Yuanheng's brows furrowed slightly, clearly displeased.
At this moment, Bei Chenye stepped forward: "Old Master Lan, this is the Regent's consort. Do not be rude."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Lan's entire demeanor changed. He had no idea about this matter. If he had known, he would never have said such things.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Lan felt that he had completely lost face.
Old Master Lan, being a shrewd person, looked at Xuan Yuanheng and said with mock solemnity: "Regent, this woman is a calamity. If the Regent insists on taking her as his consort, it will likely bring misfortune to Your Highness."
"Your Highness, for the sake of your future, you must think carefully."
"This woman is truly wicked."
"Old Master Lan, such words cannot be spoken casually. Slandering the Regent's consort like this is enough to kill you."
"Old Master Lan, at your age, do you want to lose your head?"
Old Master Lan, who had been lecturing, now became cautious and dared not say another word.
Old Master Lan did not expect Xuan Yuanheng to show him so little respect, losing his face in front of so many people.
At this moment, he hated the person before him, but in the end, he said nothing.
This Feng Ran truly had remarkable methods, to actually make the Regent step forward and speak for her. Truly remarkable methods.
Lan Xian walked over and, upon seeing Feng Ran, lowered her head without saying a word to Feng Ran.
Old Master Lan, having lost so much face in front of everyone, was already in a bad mood. Upon seeing Lan Xian, he unleashed all his anger on her.
Lan Xian looked at Old Master Lan and said cautiously, "Grandfather, let's go. The people over there are waiting for you."
"Grandfather, after all, he is the Regent. If we offend the Regent, we probably won't have a good life either."
"You still have the nerve to speak."
Old Master Lan directly reprimanded with great disappointment: "Weren't you and Feng Ran very close back then? She is so resourceful, and what have you learned? You've learned nothing."
"How could the Lan family have produced such a useless person as you?"
"If it weren't for you back then, the Lan family wouldn't have fallen to this extent."
"Lan Xian, you suffered so much for Feng Ran back then. Although Feng Ran was sent to a place like Chun Manyuan, she has now become the Regent's consort. Learn from her."
"Weren't you very close to Feng Ran? Ask her to persuade the Regent to take you as a secondary consort, it should be possible," Old Master Lan said fiercely.
