So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

Chapter 202: Madam Lan Confesses

Upon hearing this, Madam Lan's face instantly turned extremely ugly. She clasped her hands tightly, trying to hide her inner panic and fear.

Her eyes flickered, sometimes looking at Ling Jiucheng, sometimes looking at Xue Cheng, obviously looking for an opportunity to escape.

Ling Jiucheng curled his lips, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he continued to ask.

"Did Madam Lan ask you to go?"

Although his voice was calm, it carried an unquestionable majesty.

Xue Cheng nodded, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes flashed with despair and unwillingness.

"Yes."

His voice was low and weak, as if all his strength had been drained away.

Upon seeing this, Madam Lan fell to her knees with a thud. Her face was ashen and her eyes were flashing with resentment and unwillingness.

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?"

There was a hint of trembling in her words, and she was shocked and angry at Xue Cheng's answer.

Xue Cheng had a bitter face, and his eyes revealed helplessness and sadness.

"Sister, I don't want to be torn apart!"

There was a hint of crying in his voice, and he was terrified of the punishment he was about to face.

He looked at Madam Lan, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, including resentment and reluctance.

Ling Jiucheng curled his lips, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, but also a hint of pride.

He bowed towards Ling Changfeng.

"Father, the case has been investigated."

Xue Cheng's face changed, he stared at Ling Jiucheng with wide eyes, anger and unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

"You lied to me!"

He didn't expect that he could be tricked so easily by a young man.

However, Ling Jiucheng just smiled coldly and did not respond to Xue Cheng's accusations.

His eyes swept across everyone present and finally stopped on Ling Changfeng, waiting for his decision.

Ling Changfeng had a complicated expression. He looked at Ling Jiucheng deeply, then looked at Madam Lan who was kneeling on the ground and Xue Cheng who looked desperate.

He sighed, knowing that this matter could no longer be avoided and could only accept the reality helplessly.

"Let's handle it according to the house rules."

There was a hint of fatigue and helplessness in his voice, and he felt that this matter was very difficult.

Ling Jiuan smiled, but there was no warmth in that smile, instead it revealed a chill.

She spoke slowly, her voice calm.

"In that case, the charges have been established. We might as well have another trial for my mother's death."

Her eyes swept across everyone present, finally stopping on Madam Lan, with a sharp light flashing in her eyes.

Mrs. Lan's face turned pale as paper in an instant. She stared at Ling Jiuan with wide eyes, fear and unwillingness flashing in her eyes.

She didn't expect Ling Jiuan to propose a retrial of her mother's death at this time, which made her very panicked.

Ling Changfeng's expression became more complicated. He looked at Ling Jiuan deeply, as if he wanted to find something from her firm gaze.

Finally, he sighed and nodded slowly.

"Okay, let's have another trial."

He knew that he couldn't stop Ling Jiuan.

However, at this moment, Madam Lan suddenly sneered, with a hint of madness and determination in her voice.

"No need to check, I killed her. I originally planned to kill this little bitch as well. Unexpectedly, Lin Zhiyao had already noticed it and saved this little bitch."

There was resentment and unwillingness in her eyes, and she felt very sorry for not being able to kill Ling Jiuan as she wished.

If Jiuan had died in the womb, wouldn't all this have happened?

Hearing this, Ling Changfeng was puzzled. He stared at Madam Lan with wide eyes, shock and disbelief flashing in his eyes.

"Really you?"

There was a tremor in his voice, and he was obviously shocked by Mrs. Lan's confession.

He never expected that the person who had always been sleeping by his side was actually the murderer who killed his beloved.

Madam Lan did not respond to Ling Changfeng's questioning. She just smiled coldly, and that smile was full of madness and determination.

Her eyes swept across everyone present, finally stopping on Ling Jiuan, a sharp light flashed in her eyes.

Even if I die, you will bear the ugly secret of this family and you will never be able to escape.

Ling Changfeng grabbed Madam Lan by the collar, his eyes filled with anger and confusion, as if he wanted to lift Madam Lan up.

"why?"

He growled, his voice trembling slightly, and was very confused about Mrs. Lan's motives.

Madam Lan smiled coldly, her eyes flashing with madness and determination.

"Why? Because I love you. If she didn't die, how could you see me?"

There was a hint of twisted infatuation in her voice. She did not regret what she had done, but she felt a little sorry that she failed to kill Ling Jiuan as she wished.

When Ling Changfeng heard this, he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet and rushing to his head.

He stared at Mrs. Lan with wide eyes, shock and fear flashing in his eyes.

He felt a wave of nausea and anger rising in his heart, and he pushed Mrs. Lan away.

Mrs. Lan was thrown to the ground, but she did not look embarrassed. Instead, she smiled sarcastically.

She raised her head, her eyes flashing with complex emotions, including resentment and unwillingness, and she had a deep obsession with Ling Changfeng in her heart.

"Ling Changfeng, you saved me and got me back then, why don't you love me?"

There was a hint of twisted infatuation in her voice, as well as a hint of blame and questioning.

She didn't seem to understand why she had given so much but still couldn't win Ling Changfeng's heart.

Ling Changfeng felt heartbroken and helpless when he heard this. He looked at Madam Lan, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

"Lan'er, I saved you not because I love you. I just did it out of sympathy and responsibility. Later, too many things happened between us, and I can no longer love you."

There was a hint of fatigue and helplessness in his voice, and he felt very conflicted and painful about this relationship.

When Madam Lan heard this, a trace of madness and unwillingness flashed in her eyes. She spat, her voice full of resentment and malice. "Bah! Ling Changfeng, I am vicious and you are hypocritical. We are a perfect match. You are not worthy of the bright Lin Zhiyao."

When Ling Changfeng heard this, he felt heartbroken and helpless.

He looked at Madam Lan, his eyes flickering with mixed emotions.

He knew that what Mrs. Lan said was true and he was indeed not worthy of Lin Zhiyao.

His heart was filled with guilt and self-blame, and he knew that his debt to Lin Zhiyao could no longer be repaid.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions.

Then, he looked at Ling Jiuan, a hint of shame flashing in his eyes.

"Jiuan, I will give you justice. Madam Lan, I will handle it according to the family rules."

This is an explanation to Ling Jiuan, and also an explanation for many years of entanglement.
