When the wife of the Lan University Scholar and her daughter-in-law entered the palace together, they nearly lost their footing upon seeing Lady Lan.
The ground was covered in bloodstains, not even cleaned up yet.
The palace maids and servants knelt all over the place, each sobbing quietly.
Lady Lan's vision went black, nearly fainting.
If not for her daughter-in-law supporting her, she might have collapsed to the ground.
"My daughter, oh, my daughter, what has happened..."
Lady Lan was so distressed she disregarded palace protocol and threw herself onto Princess Consort Lan.
Her cries were deafening, causing the lady of the Lan Family to wipe her tears as well.
Her young sister-in-law was still young and held a legitimate concubine rank, a glory for the entire Lan Family.
If Princess Consort Lan fell, wouldn't the Lan Family also face repercussions?
Thinking of this, her crying turned more genuine.
