Ye Zhe was also slightly taken aback. Then, he respectfully said, "Lian Qin has a cold personality and doesn't like to compete with others!"
So, was Lian Qin just seeking her own death?
"If so, Lian Qin is even more peculiar. She keeps seeking death. She must be trying to cover up something for Lian Rui or make some people think that Lian Rui is already dead!"
Ye Zhe nodded. Only this explanation seemed reasonable.
As they were talking, Lan Fang on the ground had already come to her senses. But upon hearing the voices around, she chose to keep silent and pretend to be unconscious, waiting for a good opportunity.
However, how could she escape Ye Zhe's sharp eyes?
An icy voice suddenly sounded above her head. "Since you're awake, get up!"
Hearing this, Liu Rumei just noticed that Lan Fang had woken up. She couldn't help but frown. This woman was truly sly!
Hearing the icy voice, Lan Fang got up from the ground. She coldly looked around and her eyes fell on Liu Rumei. A mocking smile curled up on her lips. "You're really lucky!"
She had actually managed to escape like this!
Liu Rumei said indifferently, "Why did you try to kill Lian Qin?"
Since Lan Fang and Lian Rui had set up this deadly trap together, why did she secretly go after Lian Qin?
A mocking look flashed across Lan Fang's eyes. "Didn't you already figure it out just now? Since she was seeking death, I naturally had to give her a push!"
Liu Rumei frowned slightly. "Did Lian Rui also agree?"
Hearing this, Lan Fang seemed to have heard something really funny. The mockery in her eyes deepened. "Of course she knew. Otherwise, how could I have dared to attack Lian Qin? That woman is so stupid. After being coaxed by a few words from Lian Rui, she was pushed forward to be the scapegoat! She actually thought that as long as she died, everything would be over. How naive!"
The coldness in Liu Rumei's eyes deepened. "Why did you try to assassinate us?"
Lan Fang glanced at Ye Zhe beside Liu Rumei and sneered. "Do you really think I'm a fool? The life of the Prince of Guoan is worth a fortune. Who wouldn't want it?"
Hearing this, Ye Zhe's face turned even colder. "Why did you take Bai Jinmian away?"
A look of surprise flashed across Liu Rumei's eyes. Bai Jinmian was missing?
Lan Fang couldn't help but burst into laughter. Her eyes were filled with the same madness as Zhang Lanfeng's. "I'll make her suffer everything I've endured!"
Just thinking about those tortured days, she wished she could tear that mother - daughter pair into pieces to vent her hatred.
Liu Rumei frowned tightly. Lan Fang had been lurking in the Bai family for many years. Clearly, she had long - term plans! But what on earth was she after?
Exposing herself this time, was it just for Mo Liandi's life?
For some reason, she always felt that there was something fishy about this whole thing!
Just as she was deep in thought, Mo Liandi walked out. His cold eyes swept across Lan Fang and he said coldly, "Take her away."
Ye Zhe immediately nodded and took Lan Fang away. No matter what her reasons were, they would surely find out!
At this time, the doctor on the side respectfully came to Liu Rumei. "Does the princess feel any discomfort?"
Liu Rumei shook her head helplessly. "I'm fine."
The doctor still insisted on taking her pulse before respectfully retreating.
Uncle Zhang also had a smile on his face. He winked at Sixi and then retreated.
Sixi was a smart girl. She covered her lips and left.
But Liu Rumei was still lost in her own thoughts and didn't notice Sixi's departure.
"Were they after you today?"
It just didn't seem very likely.
A cold light flashed across Mo Liandi's eyes. "It should be."
However, Lan Fang had hidden in the Bai family for many years. It couldn't have been just for him! If Liu Liu hadn't found out about Lan Fang, this person might have continued to hide in the Bai family. What exactly was the Bai family hiding that made someone go to such great lengths?
Liu Rumei pursed her lips. Lian Qin was just a bait, aiming to draw out Lian Rui. But Lian Rui simply didn't care about Lian Qin's life or death!
Now Lian Rui was missing. Although they had Lan Fang in their hands, it would still take some effort to find Lian Rui. And who was the one instructing Lian Rui and Lan Fang?
Seeing Liu Rumei frowning tightly, a smile curled up on Mo Liandi's lips. He stepped forward and said softly, "I'll handle everything. Why are you so worried, Liu Liu?"
He would surely figure out everything sooner or later!
Liu Rumei suddenly came back to her senses. Her eyes unexpectedly met his deep black ones. The tenderness in them almost drowned her.
Almost instantly, Liu Rumei averted her eyes and said nervously, "I'll go back first."
Seeing this, Mo Liandi frowned. Instinctively, he reached out and grabbed her hand. "Liu Liu, can we have a chat?"
Why did she always avoid him like this?
Liu Rumei pursed her lips, suppressing the complexity in her heart. She said indifferently, "What does the prince want to talk about?"
Seeing her cold and aloof appearance, Mo Liandi frowned even more. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said, "How about talking about your hometown, Liu Liu?"
He had tried every means, but he still knew nothing about her origin. It was as if she had just appeared out of thin air without a trace.
She always said that she would leave. He didn't believe it before, but now that he didn't even know where she came from, he couldn't help but feel a bit discouraged. He was even more uneasy, feeling that there seemed to be something between them and he just couldn't get closer to her.
Liu Rumei paused. A look of nostalgia welled up in her eyes. "My hometown is a very beautiful place... There, everyone is equal. There are no nobles or autocratic emperors. Everyone is free..."
She wondered if anyone would notice if she suddenly disappeared. Thinking of this, a mocking look flashed across her eyes. Maybe no one would even know...
Seeing the longing in Liu Rumei's eyes, Mo Liandi tightened his grip on her hand. Did she really want to go back that much?
No nobles, no autocratic emperors, and everyone equal? Did such a place really exist?
Liu Rumei was awakened by the sudden pain in her hand. She came back to her senses in a daze. Seeing the doubt in Mo Liandi's eyes, she smiled and said, "In my hometown, monogamy is practiced. Both parties have the right to divorce. Women also work to support themselves!"
Mo Liandi's eyes were full of surprise. "Is there really such a place?"
Liu Rumei nodded with a smile. So, there was a whole time - space gap between them. Just like when she came, she would also leave quietly.
Mo Liandi pursed his lips. "I really want to go and take a look."
But Liu Rumei shook her head. Her eyes were full of confusion. "You won't be able to find it."
