Facing Liu's words, Ran Qi responded calmly: "Thinking back, wasn't it Ran Ran who strongly requested that Fanyue be promoted?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring straight at Liu, as if he wanted to see through her surface to the depths of her heart.

Then, Ran Qi added: "Moreover, didn't you stand on Ran Ran's side without hesitation and tried your best to persuade me? Now, I have obeyed your wishes and let Fan Que get the promotion and title as he wished, but why are you still so dissatisfied?" There was a hint of questioning and confusion in his tone.

Hearing this, Liu's face instantly turned ugly. In fact, she had always known the original owner's real intention behind this, but this did not affect her firm choice to stand on Ran Ran's side and accuse and criticize the original owner.

In Liu's heart, she always believed that the original owner should help them accomplish various things unconditionally.

However, there was one thing that bothered her - she would never allow Ranchen and Ranran to be too close to the original owner's brother. She was worried that if their relationship became too deep, they would be hesitant to take action against the original owner in the future, and it would be difficult to achieve their goal.

At this moment, Ran Qi suddenly threw out that sentence, like a sharp sword, directly blocking Liu's chattering mouth. For a moment, the air seemed to freeze. Liu opened her mouth, but found that she could no longer utter a word. She widened her eyes, her face full of astonishment and anger, but facing Ran Qi's sharp words, she was powerless to resist.

After a moment of silence, Liu finally came to her senses. She gritted her teeth and said unwillingly, "Ran'er is your biological sister! Are you going to just watch her get bullied in the Fan family?" However, Ran Qi just smiled coldly and responded mercilessly, "It is natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Ran Ran is too narrow-minded. As a sister, you should teach her more and make her more open-minded."

Hearing this, Liu was so angry that she trembled all over. She pointed at Ran Qi and shouted angrily: "How can you say such a thing? When your father was alive, he also took concubines, but I never acted like this!" In fact, only Liu knew that she was just pretending to be magnanimous. At that time, as soon as General Ran stepped onto the battlefield, she immediately showed her true colors and tortured those concubines to death. Some of them were even sold directly.

To be honest, Liu was not a very smart person. If it weren't for her status as the main wife, it would have been difficult for her to gain a foothold in the harem.

The girl she raised, Ran Ran, was spoiled and willful, and had never learned any means or skills of fighting in the harem. Now that she was in the Fan family, Ran Ran was naturally suppressed and bullied.

Liu stared at Ran Qi with wide eyes, her heart burning with anger, but she had no way to deal with him. What made her even more angry was that Ran Qi threatened to send her to old age, as if he regarded her as a useless person. Hearing this, Liu was so angry that she trembled all over and almost fainted on the spot.

Liu was filled with regret at this moment, thinking to herself: Why didn't she make up her mind to get rid of this thorn in her side earlier? Now Ran Qi had grown into this state, and even she couldn't easily take action against him.

Thinking of this, Liu was even more furious. She had originally planned to have Ran Qi drive away all the children from her second and third uncles' families, leaving only Ran Liang. But in this situation, even if she said it out loud, she would only be ruthlessly refuted and rejected by Ran Qi. So Liu had to shut her mouth tightly and said nothing.

Seeing this, Ran Qi naturally didn't bother to talk anymore, and turned around and left without looking back. After Ran Qi walked away, Liu slowly closed the door, and carefully approached the personal nanny, lowering her voice and asking, "Tell me, did he know something about the inside story?"

The nanny shook her head gently and said soothingly, "Old Madam, please don't worry too much. In my opinion, if the general really knew something, he would have lost control of his temper and made a scene! How could he be so calm now?"

However, what is puzzling is why his recent behavior has become so strange and unusual. It is really puzzling.

At this time, the nanny standing by hurriedly continued to comfort her softly: "Old Madam, please relax! Even if the general knows something, I believe he should be more grateful to you in his heart."

The nanny paused, then added: "You know, if you hadn't been so kind to adopt him and raised him as your own son, the general would probably still be just an ordinary son of a peasant woman. How could he have achieved such success and fame today? So, no matter from which aspect, the general should be grateful to you!"

After hearing these words, perhaps the words of the nanny did have a certain comforting effect, or perhaps Liu herself just wanted to find some psychological comfort for herself through these words. In short, after a short period of silent thinking, Liu finally chose to silently agree with the view expressed by the nanny.

Then, she said indignantly: "That's right! The person he needs to thank the most is me! But now, he actually dares to openly disobey me, which is simply a heinous act!" As soon as she finished speaking, as if she was extremely emotional, Liu couldn't help coughing violently.

Seeing this, the nanny hurried forward, patted Liu's back to help her calm down, and said softly: "In my opinion, perhaps the general made such a move this time for the long-term development of the general's mansion. Madam, you might as well find a suitable time to discuss this matter with the general. Perhaps there are some misunderstandings that have not been resolved."
