After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 248 Fate Brings This Calamity
"What are you looking at me for?"

Song Lan suddenly looked at Su Xianyun and asked.

This abruptly interrupted Liu Guixiang and the others, who were still exchanging pleasantries and pleasantries with her.

Tan Ci immediately shot Su Wenheng a glare.

She couldn't bear to scold her daughter, but since it was her daughter who had been rude, she decided to address the problem at its root.

Su Wenheng was still immersed in the thought that "Madam cares about me and has me in her heart." Even after being glared at by Tan Ci, he took it all as "Madam is flirting with me, she really does love me."

Su Xianyun never expected to be caught.

Feeling a little flustered, I glanced at her mother, and sure enough, I saw her. Her face wasn't very nice; she looked fierce and was glaring at me!

She nervously twisted the hem of her clothes with her fingers, and after a long while, she timidly spoke up: "I... I'm curious..."

"What are you curious about? Me?"

Song Lan, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, showing no signs of being offended.

More than anything, people just felt that this little girl was clever and mischievous, and because she had been in a coma for so many years, she still retained the innocence and liveliness of a child.

But this girl is also so sensible that it breaks my heart.

At only a teenager, he acts and speaks in a very proper and orderly manner.

I feel a little sorry for them.

"Hmm... My mother said that you are very powerful, my benefactor, and you can catch ghosts! Even the judge of the underworld has to listen to you and is afraid of you."

"Many legendary stories circulate among the people about how you solved strange cases, cleared the names of the wronged, and allowed the victims to see the light of day again!"

As Su Xianyun spoke, her voice gradually softened, and she dared not look up at her mother's expression.

"It's just idle gossip, nonsense, don't take it seriously."

Song Lan smiled and handed her a peach. Su Xianyun hesitated for a moment, wanting to see her mother's expression to see if she would allow it, but she didn't dare. In the end, she gritted her teeth and took the peach.

"Thank you benefactor."

She thanked him softly, holding the peach's hand nervously.

"Are you very afraid of your mother?" Song Lan suddenly asked.

Just as Tan Ci was about to say something, her eyes met Song Lan's indifferent gaze, and her tongue suddenly seemed to get tied in knots, and she quickly fell silent.

Su Xianyun was unaware of the brief exchange between Song Lan and her mother.

She was silent for a moment, then softly hummed in agreement before slowly speaking: "...I'm not afraid."

The little girl looked at Song Lan, as if she had received some encouragement, and boldly said, "My mother is very good to me."

"Although she can be fierce at times, I know she loves me, so I'm not afraid."

Song Lan waved to her.

The young girl hesitated for a moment, then took small steps forward, truly treating Song Lan with the respect due to a benefactor or elder.

"Then why don't you tell your mother when you're bullied?"

Song Lan pinched her chubby, baby-faced cheeks: "Isn't it because you're afraid your mother will be angry?"

As soon as Su Xianyun entered the door, Song Lan saw what she had experienced over the years.

She was bullied by her maternal grandparents' family, never had enough to eat or wear, and even worse... she was sold to the Zhang family in exchange for a steady stream of benefits.

If Su Xianyun had told Tan Ci back then—Song Lan glanced at Tan Ci again, and suddenly felt that even if Su Xianyun had told her, there was no guarantee that the outcome would have been better.

This calamity is destined to befall the little girl.

This calamity came from one's closest relatives.
