Two days later, the new governor arrived to replace Governor Lan in Li City.
The Lan Residence completed its final relocation, and Lan Yingwu hired several large horse-drawn carriages.
Ye Gu and Ye Huangyu, along with a group from the Ye Family, all came to see Ye Lingyue off.
"Grandfather, mother, everyone should head back," said Ye Lingyue, as she boarded the carriage and watched Li City and the people of the Ye Family grow distant behind her, until they could no longer be seen clearly.
Her emotions were mixed with sadness and excitement, for she knew that ahead lay a brand-new path waiting for her.
Fourteen years ago, she was just an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes. It was this same road, an unpretentious horse carriage, that carried her mother, Ye Huangyu, burdened with endless humiliation and pain, back to the Ye Family.
Fourteen years ago, she was all alone, without the company of her mother. But this time, she was coming for revenge.
