She said bitterly, a sarcastic smile on her face.
Lan Zhengfeng was only a county magistrate. He did not dare to kill his daughter in broad daylight. Instead, he planned to chase her away and send people to pursue her to kill her.
However, she was rescued by An Tu, who was on his way to the county to sell his prey.
“He accepted their bribe.” Qian Jiyun narrowed his eyes menacingly.
He should have known that Lan Zhengfeng would have the guts to treat his biological daughter like that. She was not only his daughter but also his wife.
He would not have dared to do this to an ex-wife. He did it because he accepted their bribes!
Qian Jiyun had sent Lan Zhengfeng to Ming Gu County because he thought Lan Zhengfeng did not care about his relationship with his daughter. Such a person was not fit to be a parent, much less an official.
He never thought that he would kill his daughter to earn a fortune!
“He ought to die!” he cursed but glanced at An Jiuyue subconsciously.
He was used to deaths on the battlefield, but An Jiuyue was different. Besides, she was Lan Zhengfeng’s daughter. He did not want her to notice his killing intent towards Lan Zhengfeng.
However, he did not notice any expression on An Jiuyue’s face.
“After they chased me out of the Lan household, I wanted to find a place to settle down but was hunted by assassins. I was lucky to meet my father.
“I went home with him. He took me in as his daughter, and we’ve been living here. However, he passed away some time back.”
There was nothing else to hide since Qian Jiyun already knew. She might as well tell him the truth.
“I’ve been looking for you all these years. I even sent people to wait by your mother’s grave, hoping that you would come. You never came,” Qian Jiyun said.
An Jiuyue was silent.
He sent people to wait by my mother’s grave?
“Heh, you’ll have to wait more then.”
“Why?” Qian Jiyun asked, not understanding.
Shouldn’t children go to their parents’ graves on their death anniversaries? Wasn’t it reasonable to assign people to wait there?
“I’ve relocated my mother’s grave long ago,” An Jiuyue retorted, “Did you think that I would allow my mother to be buried in the Lan family ancestral grave after finding out what kind of person Lan Zhengfeng is? I just never expected…”
She recalled what she had seen when she secretly relocated her mother’s grave during the night. She was so angry she wanted to tear off a piece of Lan Zhengfeng’s flesh!
“What happened?” Qian Jiyun asked.
His instincts told him that something terrible had happened.
Lan Zhengfeng was not someone who would treat his late mistress kindly. Perhaps he was wrong to have left so soon.
“Lan Zhengfeng did not put my mother’s corpse in a coffin. He only wrapped her in a straw mat. The straw mat was covered with talismans used for black magic.”
An Jiuyue took a deep breath.
Although the Host was the one who experienced this, she grew furious as she recalled the memory.
Qian Jiyun cursed through gritted teeth, “That bastard!”
There were many types of black magic. He did not know what Lan Zhengfeng wanted to do to An Jiuyue’s mother, but he knew he was definitely up to no good.
