Chapter 649: 649 Stunning and Unparalleled Princess Yongning [1 More]

At this moment, the Lin Family Elder Council was filled with extreme anger.

Attacking a healer was something everyone had agreed against.

Someone must be framing their Lin Family!

Who is so despicable and shameless?

"Great Elder, please calm down." Lin Shiyuan stepped out, "With your ability, you can surely see this is a conspiracy. Young Master Mufeng did come to me, but he left early."

Seeing Lin Shiyuan, the Su Family Great Elder’s tone softened slightly: "Then can Miss Shiyuan deduce who the murderer is?"

"Whoever benefits the most from this affair, that is the murderer." Lin Shiyuan’s gaze fell on Su Xueqing, "Perhaps we should first ask the Su Family Master’s opinion on this matter."

With a swoosh, all eyes gathered on Su Xueqing, carrying a trace of suspicion.

With Su Ningxiang dead, Su Mufeng was the only one who could threaten Su Xueqing.

"Miss Shiyuan’s words confuse me." Su Xueqing maintained a calm expression, "I originally intended to cede the Family Head position to Young Master Mufeng. If it weren’t for our family’s ancestor insisting, I wouldn’t have taken the Family Head position. Elders, Young Master Mufeng’s death is a significant loss for the Su Family. If something happens to me too, wouldn’t the Su Family be divided?"

The Su Family Great Elder’s face changed dramatically.

"Miss Shiyuan, regardless of whether the Lin Family is the murderer of Young Master Mufeng, his body is currently on your Lin Family’s territory." Su Xueqing spoke unhurriedly, "It is indisputable that you did not catch the murderer. Our Su Family has the right to demand compensation from the Lin Family!"

Lin Shiyuan’s gaze subtly changed.

She was sure that Su Xueqing definitely knew something, and there was someone advising behind her.

"Xueqing is dedicated to the Su Family." The Su Family Great Elder spoke coldly, "Your Lin Family must find the murderer of Mufeng and compensate the Su Family without any reduction!"

The Lin Family Elder Council was gritting their teeth in anger, but could only helplessly consent.

If they truly became hostile with the Su Family, they would lose their medical resources.

Lin Shiyuan said calmly, "Rest assured, the compensation to the Su Family will not be reduced in the slightest."

After soothing the Su Family for a while, the Su Family finally left.

"Absolutely preposterous!" Lin Zhushuang was furious, "I believe it’s their Su Family’s own internal strife, deliberately framing us!"

The Great Elder of the Lin Family sighed and shook his head, "Never mind, problems that can be solved with money are not really problems."

Lin Shiyuan did not linger and returned to her courtyard.

It seems, with Su Mufeng’s death, the Su Family’s entire reliance shifted to Su Xueqing.

Now Su Xueqing’s position is even more solid than Su Ningxiang’s ever was.

"Miss Shiyuan, this Ye Wanlan... and Su Xueqing have an unusual relationship." The young dark guard frowned, "If one day she harbors ill intentions too and challenges you for the Family Head position, it would be better to resolve her now!"

After all, even Lin Shiyuan never expected Su Ningxiang to die at Su Xueqing’s hands.

If in the future Lin Shiyuan and Ye Wanlan collide, the Su Family led by Su Xueqing would undoubtedly fully support Ye Wanlan. At that time, it would definitely be a considerable impact on Lin Shiyuan.

"I’ve said, do not touch Ye Wanlan." Lin Shiyuan raised her eyes, her gaze cold, "As you said, she indeed could pose a threat, but if she lacks capability, the threat doesn’t exist. Do I need someone without capability?"

The young dark guard tensed up and quickly bowed his head, "I had no such intention!"

"If she truly can challenge me for the Family Head position, then I welcome it." Lin Shiyuan stated ambiguously, "Sometimes, after a long period of comfort, one needs others to provoke them. Have you heard of the catfish effect?"

The young dark guard was taken aback.

"The existence of catfish forces sardines to swim faster, ensuring their vitality." Lin Shiyuan spoke leisurely, "In our words, adversity leads to prosperity, while comfort leads to ruin. I am quite pleased to see Ye Wanlan showing more capabilities, pushing me to break through bottlenecks again."

The young dark guard seemed half-comprehending. He hesitated, "But I still worry about you..."

"I have always trusted in my own strength. This is not arrogance, but confidence." Lin Shiyuan waved her hand, "Go, I have my plans."

The young dark guard opened his mouth, but silently left in the end.

For some reason, he had a premonition that if Ye Wanlan was not eliminated now, she would surely cause great trouble in the future!

But as a Hidden Guard, he could only obey his master, serving as the sharpest blade in his master’s hand.

**

On the other side, the Su Family.

"Xueqing, I’ve cleared all the hidden dangers in the Su Family for you." Ye Wanlan raised her glass to her with a slight smile, "May your path from now on be smooth."

Su Xueqing’s heart trembled, a warm sensation spreading inside: "Ah Lan, although I know there is no point in saying thank you between us, I must say it, thank you."

With Su Mufeng dead, the Su Family received substantial compensation from the Lin Family, which was indeed a win-win situation for her.

"Ah Lan, don’t just talk about me. Now that the Su Family’s matter is resolved, what about the Lin Family?" Su Xueqing asked, "Did Lin Shiyuan do anything to you..."

"She didn’t." Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, "She is very intelligent, but sometimes intelligence can backfire."

She deliberately displayed that she only played the pipa, intending to make Lin Shiyuan relax her guard.

But on what grounds does Lin Shiyuan presume she only knows the pipa?

Logically, she shouldn’t know the zither, but Ye Wanlan has never been a conventional person.

"In any case, I will stand by your side." Su Xueqing declared determinedly, "From now on, the Su Family and you are inseparable."

Ye Wanlan’s gaze flickered slightly, nodding with a smile, "Thank you."

"Ah Lan, Zhu Yu told me yesterday that since I have become the Su Family Master, the Zhu Family can now return." Su Xueqing smiled, "Having unraveled Su Han Yan’s plot, there is no longer a need to divide the medical resources."

"That’s wonderful." Ye Wanlan’s smile was gentle, "Once Palace Master Yun Qing is restored, then the Taiyi Palace will truly come alive."

"Isn’t today the third episode of ’Treasures of The Divine Land’?" Su Xueqing suddenly mentioned, "I almost forgot. Quick, Ah Lan, I still need to watch your program."

The third episode of ’Treasures of The Divine Land’ still revolves around the Xiang Imperial Family, telling the story of Imperial Tutor Han Yunsheng, Female Prime Minister Shen Mingshu, and several other illustrious officials.

The Imperial Tutor divines the nation’s fortunes, while the Female Prime Minister composes new policies.

Their lives were too legendary, an indispensable part of the Daning Dynasty’s prosperity.

[No wonder Princess Yongning was so astonishingly talented; her innate gifts were already high, and with the guidance of both the Imperial Tutor and Female Prime Minister, such a genius could only be cultivated.]

[To use the entire court as the foundation to foster a Crown Prince, only Zhaozong could pull off such a feat.]

[Alas, the historical records do not account for how the Imperial Tutor and Female Prime Minister met their end. Hopefully, the archaeological team will uncover this part of history soon!]

Ye Wanlan was stunned: "Teacher..."

For some reason, she had a foreboding feeling—

Han Yunsheng might not return like others.

In exchange for the secrets of the future, he sacrificed his soul.

For one whose soul has dissipated, is there truly a chance to return to Shenzhou?

Ye Wanlan slowly exhaled, clenching her hands tightly.

But as long as the result is not determined, she would not give up.

"Ah Lan, this program is really excellent." Su Xueqing marveled, "Even someone like me, who isn’t fond of learning history, finds it engrossing and wants to know what happens next."

Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, "That’s enough."

That is the purpose of ’Treasures of The Divine Land’.

"Miss Ye! Miss Su, you’re here too!" Bing He hurried over, expression serious, "Just received a message, Master wanted me to inform you, he has already gone ahead, Minister Shen’s relic has appeared in the Southern Ming Principality!"

Ye Wanlan suddenly looked up, uttering only two words: "Address."
