This was the reason why they had bumped into her yesterday. Initially, seeing that she was blind, they had subconsciously ruled her out. However, the incident involving Concubine Zhang had served as a wake - up call. Often, the least likely person was the real culprit.
The soil in her hand and the pollen on her clothes yesterday had left them with no choice but to be suspicious.
Lan Fang groped her way to pour a cup of tea. Her hoarse voice came again, "You already knew when you came here yesterday, didn't you?"
Liu Rumei nodded indifferently, "The soil was obviously freshly turned. Although you tried to cover the soil on your hands by pretending to pick flowers, the pollen of the azaleas still got on your clothes. You once said that you liked gardening!"
Lan Fang gave a faint smile, "Aren't you suspicious of how a blind woman like me could have done it?"
Liu Rumei shook her head and said indifferently, "Although you're blind, your heart is not. When God closes a door, he always opens a window."
Lan Fang grinned, "You're right. Although azaleas and rhododendrons look identical and are hard to tell apart for others, it's a piece of cake for me."
No matter how similar things were, their scents would still be different.
Bai Haoyu looked utterly incredulous, "Why did you do this?"
Bai Hanfei's face turned extremely gloomy, "Guards! Seize her!"
He had actually raised such a vicious daughter!
Lan Fang remained calm. She got up, holding onto the table, and said to Liu Rumei, "I have something to say to Miss Liu alone."
Mo Liandi frowned and was about to refuse instinctively.
Unexpectedly, Lan Fang suddenly blurted out, "You all care so much about Concubine Lian. Isn't it because Concubine Lian is related to that person? Miss Liu, you're the first person who has ever been kind to me. If I don't tell this secret now, I'm afraid I won't get another chance!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. The coldness on Bai Hanfei's face deepened. She actually knew.
Mo Liandi's expression turned cold, his eyes filled with a chilling light. He took a step towards Lan Fang.
However, the next moment, Lan Fang suddenly took a step back and said coldly, "Miss Liu, if you don't come here, none of you will ever know this secret!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Hanfei immediately signaled to the servants beside him. What he couldn't have, Mo Liandi wouldn't either!
Liu Rumei noticed Bai Hanfei's expression. Her eyes instantly turned cold, and she walked towards Lan Fang.
Mo Liandi quickly grabbed her and said coldly, "Go back!"
Liu Rumei pursed her lips, her eyes full of stubbornness. For a moment, the two were at a stalemate.
Seeing that the servants Bai Hanfei had sent were about to approach Lan Fang, unexpectedly, a strange smile appeared on Lan Fang's lips. She suddenly stepped back quickly.
The next moment, a shower of arrows came straight at them.
Mo Liandi's eyes instantly turned cold. He quickly protected Liu Rumei in his arms and leaped backward. Ye Zhe and his partner blocked in front of them. Somehow, a long sword appeared in their hands, knocking the speeding arrows to the ground.
Bai Hanfei quickly grabbed a servant beside him and used him as a shield. Without caring about Bai Haoyu beside him, he quickly retreated from the dilapidated small courtyard.
Seeing this, the smile on Lan Fang's lips deepened. She suddenly raised her hand. Only then did everyone notice that there was a small and delicate crossbow hidden in her wide sleeve. She aimed it straight at Liu Rumei in Mo Liandi's arms.
Ye Zhe was alone, blocking the shower of arrows in front of them. For a moment, he had no time to notice Lan Fang's move.
Moreover, in their eyes, Lan Fang was just a blind woman, at most colluding with others.
However, this act of carelessness allowed that arrow to break through his defense and shoot straight at Liu Rumei in Mo Liandi's arms.
A cold light flashed in Mo Liandi's eyes. With a wave of his hand, a dagger appeared. It glistened with a cold light and split the arrow in two. Only half of it still had some force left and shot towards him, but Mo Liandi managed to dodge it.
His cold eyes glared angrily at Lan Fang. She was truly a sinister and venomous woman, hiding so deeply.
Lan Fang looked at Mo Liandi like this, and the mockery in her eyes deepened.
Seeing this, Mo Liandi thought something was wrong. But he didn't dare to turn back and could only let the crossbow bolt hit him.
Ye Zhe's face changed instantly. He was greatly shocked, "My Lord!"
Damn it!
Liu Rumei's eyes also showed urgency, "Mo Liandi!"
Mo Liandi said softly, "It's okay."
The person behind, seeing that the shot had hit, quickly loaded another crossbow bolt and shot at Mo Liandi again.
At the same time, Lan Fang also shot at Liu Rumei in his arms!
If he turned back to dodge, Liu Rumei would surely be exposed to Lan Fang's crossbow bolt. In the blink of an eye, Mo Liandi made a decision. He suddenly threw Liu Rumei into a corner and, together with Ye Zhe, blocked in front of her.
At this time, the person behind finally showed up. That beautiful face was exactly the same as Concubine Lian's!
Mo Liandi said coldly, "Lian Rui!"
Lian Rui's eyes were filled with a smile, "They say that the gentle embrace is the hero's tomb. Even you, my Lord, can't resist the charm of a beauty! Let me send you on your way today!"
Bai Hanfei's face was extremely gloomy. He had used Lian Qin to try to lure out Lian Rui. Unexpectedly, Lian Rui had given him such a big "gift".
If Mo Liandi died here, it would be fine. But if he didn't, how could the Bai family get out of this mess?
A sneer appeared on Mo Liandi's lips, "You finally decided to show up!"
Lian Rui snorted and winked at Lan Fang. Lan Fang nodded indifferently and suddenly threw away the crossbow in her hand. She, together with the black - clothed men on the wall, rushed towards Mo Liandi.
However, Lan Fang's target wasn't Mo Liandi, but Bai Hanfei!
At this time, Bai Haoyu was already unconscious. There was an arrow sticking out of his chest, and his breathing was weak.
Bai Hanfei widened his eyes in disbelief and roared angrily, "You brute! I'm your father! Do you still want to commit patricide?"
Lan Fang's eyes were filled with coldness. Her hoarse voice was full of frost, "My father died a long time ago!"
With that, she mercilessly stabbed the dagger towards Bai Hanfei! Fortunately, although Bai Hanfei was a civil official, he knew a little martial art and managed to block Lan Fang's attack.
At the same time, Lian Rui led the black - clothed men to attack Mo Liandi's vital points! Fortunately, the two of them were skilled, and for the time being, Lian Rui couldn't do anything to them!
Liu Rumei looked at the arrow on Mo Liandi's shoulder. Her eyes turned red involuntarily, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
