In fact, when Zheng Shi was talking to the guards, the Lan family’s ancestor and elder Tuo had heard it, but they were not prepared to pay attention to it, in case the two houses were suspicious.
However, now that he shi was shouting so loudly, it would not make sense for her to pretend that she did not hear it.
The Lan family’s ancestor gave elder Tuo a look, and elder Tuo went into the courtyard and said, “Come in!”
Lady he immediately pushed aside the guards who were blocking her way and walked in with Qing Si and Ren Dong.
Qing Jin stomped her feet angrily, but it was not good to stop them. She thought about it and decided to follow them in to take a look.
At this moment, she heard Yun chujiu say, “Sister Qing Jin, what kind of ointment is on your face? Why Do I see that the scar seems to be a little deeper than before? Is it because of the Sun?”
When Qing Jin heard this, how could she still care about Zheng Shi? She glared fiercely at Yun Chujiu and left hurriedly with her maid. She probably went back to look at herself in the mirror.
Yun chujiu revealed a puzzled expression, shook her head, and then entered the guest house.

Zheng Shi said with tears streaming down her face, “Old ancestor, I know it’s a bit rash to ask to see you, but I can only ask for your help!”
The Lan family’s old ancestor’s expression was very cold. “Get up and speak.”
Zheng Shi saw the Lan family’s old ancestor’s expression and her heart instantly turned cold. She smiled bitterly in her heart. That’s right, if she was the Lan family’s old ancestor, she wouldn’t have gotten involved in this mess.
However, Zheng Shi still felt lucky and said, “Ancestor, to tell you the truth, the family head has already been suppressed by the second elder. He is basically their puppet.
“The male members of our big branch have met with misfortune one after another. They are stupid and disabled. The second branch is pressing on step by step. In a few days, the second elder will officially take over the position of the family head of the Qing family.
“At that time, everyone in our main branch will most likely lose their lives.”
The expression of the Lan family’s patriarch did not change. He asked, “What do you want me to do for you? After all, this is a family matter of your Qing family. It is not good for me to be involved in it.”
Zheng Shi heard this and.., she knelt on the ground again. “Patriarch, I do not expect you to save everyone in our main branch. As long as you can protect Nan Nan’s life or send her to another continent, I am willing to give all the assets of the main branch to you in return.”
When Yun Chujiu entered, she happened to hear what Zheng Shi said. She could not help but sigh. This zheng Shi was really good to Qing si. How could she have the preference for boys over girls that Qing si had mentioned at that time? !
Qing Si’s eyes were red. She bit her lips tightly, her heart filled with guilt.
Before the Lan family’s old ancestor could speak, Yun Chujiu said with a smile, “Auntie, don’t make things difficult for the old ancestor. Miss Qing Si is a member of the Qing family. Our Lan family doesn’t have the time to meddle in your business!”
Zheng Shi’s face turned even paler as she looked pleadingly at the Lan family’s patriarch. However, to her disappointment, the expression of the Lan family’s patriarch didn’t change at all.
“What little ninth girl said makes sense. It’s not appropriate for our Lan family to interfere in your Qing family’s matters. Please leave!”
Zheng Shi smiled bitterly and stood up. As expected, it was easier to add flowers to the brocade than to send charcoal in the snow. This trip had been in vain.
Zheng Shi did not even say goodbye and brought Qing si out of the house. When they reached the door, they bumped into Qing Jin, who had returned in a hurry.
Qing Jin saw Zheng Shi’s dejected look and could not help but sneer in her heart. She knew that the Lan family would not bother with them at all. However, her father had lectured her and insisted that she come back to keep an eye on them.
