"Big brother, let's stick to today's plan. I only need you to secretly drug me. As for the drug, I've already prepared it."
Lin Xue smiled complacently when she remembered her plan.
"Xue 'er! Do you really want to throw your life away before you're willing to? " A sense of anger flashed across Lin Yang's face. "Don't you know what kind of person the Grand Lord is? He'll kill you, he'll really kill you! The Grand Lord is not the kind of person who would show mercy to a woman! I heard that there was a woman called Bai Yin in the Grand Lord's Mansion. That woman had fought by the Grand Lord's side for many years but in the end, the Grand Lord had killed her for the Eldest Lady's sake! "
Lin Xue pursed her lips disapprovingly. "That's because they were too stupid and had not drugged the Grand Lord! The Grand Lord is a responsible man. As long as the rice is cooked, we don't have to worry about him going back on his word. Big brother, you'll be chased out of the Grand Lord's Mansion tomorrow. We only have tonight! We can't waste it. "
"Xue 'er!"
Lin Yang stared at his stubborn sister with a headache.
Could it be that she could not tell what had just happened? The Grand Lord has no regard for her at all. Even if she were to succeed, he would never take responsibility for her. Perhaps he would kill her once he's done with his needs!
"Big brother, if you don't want to help me, I'll jump down from here."
Lin Xue ran to the lakeside and turned towards Lin Yang as she spoke threateningly.
"I've said this before, if I don't bear the Grand Lord a child, I'll die in front of you!"
"You …" Lin Yang's heart trembled violently. He closed his eyes and opened them after a long pause. He looked at Lin Xue and said, "I understand. Xue 'er, I'll help you. I only hope that you won't be so stubborn in the future."
Lin Xue smiled complacently and did not notice her brother's pale face at all.
"I'm confident that I can bear the Grand Lord a son. When that time comes, the Madam and the Eldest Lady will have to depend on me to survive. As for the Red Lotus Territory, I won't hand it over to an outsider! The position of the Territory can only be inherited by a son! "
…
The banquet lasted for a long time before it ended. However, Grand Lord Hong Lian still had a lot of official business to attend to. Hence, he asked Dongfang Yu to go back and get some rest.
After all, before he hands the Red Lotus Territory to Gu Ruoyun, he must settle everything.
Inside the study.
Grand Lord Hong Lian buried his head in the letters in his hand. His brows furrowed and relaxed at times. Just then, a knock sounded on the study's door. "Grand Lord, the kitchen has delivered a midnight snack. May I bring it in?"
"Come in."
Grand Lord Hong Lian calmly gave his order.
A footboy entered the room with a bowl of lotus porridge in his hand. He then slowly walked towards Grand Lord Hong Lian.
Grand Lord Hong Lian picked up the spoon and carefully took a bite. After taking a bite, he frowned, "This lotus seed porridge wasn't made by the Madam, was it?"
"Your Lordship, this is the lotus seed porridge cooked by the servants in the kitchen."
"I see." Grand Lord Hong Lian nodded and furrowed his brows as he said, "I was just wondering why the taste was different from the Madam's. I prefer Madam's lotus seed porridge. This bowl is for you. "
The waiter was pleasantly surprised.
What surprised him was not the lotus seed porridge, but the fact that it was a reward from the Lord.
"It's getting late. I'm going to accompany the Madam to bed. You may leave after finishing the lotus seed porridge."
Grand Lord Hong Lian then rose to his feet and walked out of the study, closing the door on his way out.
