Everyone looked toward the little girl.
"Every single thing Sister-in-Law has said so far has proven true."
Nobody could deny that.
Li Mei.
The fire.
The Chancellor’s wife.
Every single warning had been correct.
Lin Meiyun slowly nodded.
"We cannot ignore this."
Old Madam Xi agreed.
"Nor can we allow Lanyin to continue meeting him privately."
Xi Lanyin’s face paled again.
"But Grandmother—"
"No."
The old woman’s voice was firm.
"This matter ends here."
For the first time, Xi Lanyin realized just how serious the situation had become.
Meanwhile, Xi Ronghua was already thinking several steps ahead.
"What about the Prime Minister’s son?"
Immediately, everyone’s attention shifted.
Even Xi Lanyin froze.
Old Madam Xi frowned thoughtfully.
Lin Meiyun looked equally surprised.
The revelation still felt unbelievable.
The Prime Minister’s son liking Xi Lanyin?
Nobody had expected that.
Not even Xi Lanyin herself.
"I still find it difficult to believe," Lin Meiyun admitted.
"So do I," Xi Ronghua said.
"But after everything we’ve heard this morning, I don’t know what to believe anymore."
Old Madam Xi felt a sense of uncertainty.
Eventually, she sighed heavily.
"From now on, someone must keep an eye on Lanyin."
"Grandmother!"
Xi Lanyin immediately protested.
Old Madam Xi ignored her.
"And someone investigate Zhao Mingyuan."
The breakfast they had expected to be peaceful had somehow turned into another revelation-filled gathering.
Gu Zhen slowly placed his teacup down and rubbed his forehead.
The usually calm man looked genuinely tired.
After a long moment of silence, he finally spoke.
"Worst breakfast ever."
