A place at the table

  Today, she's going to make a name for herself here. You really think she's an easy target? Fine, I'll let you try. Let's see who explodes first!

  "Ah......" Dong Yue let out a miserable cry.

  Lan Ya didn't seem to want to let go at all, and with a bit of effort, she twisted her hand, turning that finger around in a circle on her palm before finally releasing it.

  Everyone was extremely surprised at this sight and even forgot to stop it.

  "Ah......" Her ten fingers were connected at heart, one of her fingers was completely broken, the pain almost made her faint.

  "You unfilial daughter, how can you be so ruthless and cruel!" Mu Zhihang's reaction was immediate, he suddenly became furious, grabbed the wooden stick beside him and grasped it in his hand.

  Mule Qing glared with her eyes wide open, and after a moment of shock, her eyes turned red: "You damned cheap woman, I will never forgive you."

  Lan Ya glanced at the wooden stick in Mu Zhihang's hand and let out a cold laugh: "Want to beat me to death?"

  "You this unfilial child, even if I beat you to death, it's hard to dispel the hatred in my heart." Mu Zhihang's face turned iron-green, as if he really had the intention of beating her to death.

  Dong Yue, whose finger had just been cut off, was helped up by the maid, her face pale and her eyes venomous: "Master, if you don't beat her to death, this...this life will be unbearable."

  "Kill me?" Lan Ya repeated, raising her eyes to scan Dong Yue and then looking at Mu Zhihang: "Do you dare? Not to mention my mother's identity, just based on the fact that I won the championship in tonight's royal competition, don't you have the guts to kill me."

  The royal family has taken the lead, and the royal family must be very concerned. Moreover, her identity is well-known to all, and she has washed away some of the unpleasant rumors from before. At this time, Zou Zhong's public beating of her is absolutely self-destructive!

  Mu Zhihang gripped the wooden stick, his face twisted in anger, the veins on his forehead throbbing. He understood those words, having obtained the imperial examination's top honors, a talented person like him was revered even by royalty, so he naturally couldn't be touched.

  But how did Mu Qingyan, who couldn't recognize a single character since childhood, become so talented and even won the imperial family's prize? Did she bribe the officials to get watered down?

  "Dad, don't believe her, everyone in the entire Mu Manor knows how many catties and taels she weighs, if she hadn't cheated, she would have won the prize and the sun would have risen from the west." Mu Leqing's sharp voice disrupted Mu Zhihang's thoughts.

  Lan Ya gave a cold glance at Mu Le Qing, her expression ordinary, but with a hint of provocation and separation. At first glance, she didn't seem like a good person.

  "Today, since we're all here, I'll make things clear. I'm no longer the gentle and soft Lan Qingyan from before. If you hit me, you'd better be prepared to kneel down and apologize, because I won't tolerate it. So, it's best if you don't try any small tricks in front of me, or else we'll end up in a situation where both of us will suffer, and neither of us will come out unscathed!" Lan Ya's voice turned icy cold, her eyes sharp as knives, piercing through the skin.

  A sentence fell, a sharp gaze swept across, and the surroundings became quiet.

  Mo Zhihang was also stunned by that icy tone and gaze at one time, those sharp eyes made him feel a tremble all over his body.

  Dong Yue stood still, her fingers already broken, and she felt a surge of anger and fear towards Lan Ya. Seeing the piercing gaze from Lan Ya, her heart tightened.
