Heroes of Troubled Times: Chronicles of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms

Seeing that the plan failed, the stepmother Jin Dandan walked into the house angrily.

You ungrateful woman! This medicine is for your and your child’s benefit, why don’t you listen to me? Jin Dandan questioned Liu Lanzhi aggressively.

Liu Lanzhi raised her head, her eyes full of determination and unyielding.

Mother-in-law, I have the right to protect myself and my children's health. I don't want to risk trying the medicine you gave me, and I want to seek professional medical advice. Liu Lanzhi replied firmly.

Jin Dandan held a grudge, but knew in her heart that even if she forced Liu Lanzhi to take it when she was not prepared, she would not be able to control her will.

At Liu Lanzhi's insistence, she decisively refused her mother-in-law's medicine. She decided not to believe in the unknown easily and to make the right choice for the safety of herself and her children.

Jin Dandan held a grudge and decided to ask Liu Lanzhi's maid Liu Dan to help her complete this conspiracy plan. She knew that only by winning Liu Dan's cooperation could she deal with Liu Lanzhi.

Liu Dan, I have an important task for you. I need you to put a condom on Liu Lanzhi and let her take the medicine I carefully prepared. Jin Dandan said to Liu Dan in a low voice.

Liu Dan hesitated, unwilling to become part of Jin Dandan's conspiracy.

Mother-in-law, I don’t agree with your approach. Liu Lanzhi has always been kind and upright, why did she want to frame her?

Jin Dandan smiled coldly and said in a gloomy tone: Can't you see your position? Once Liu Lanzhi is ruined, you will be the only maid in our family. You will get more benefits.

Liu Dan was shaken after hearing Jin Dandan's words. She understood Jin Dandan's threats and inducements to her, and she was deeply entangled in her heart.

In Dazhai, Liu Dan observed Liu Lanzhi's every move, weighing contradictoryly in his heart.

If I refuse Jin Dan Dan, I'm afraid I won't have a place in this family in the future. However, I couldn't bear to betray Liu Lanzhi. How should I choose? Liu Dan thought painfully in his heart.

Liu Dan relied on her understanding of Liu Lanzhi, and she knew that Liu Lanzhi was not a bad person. She couldn't betray this master who had always been so good to her for her own benefit.

In the end, Liu Dan decided to remain silent and not participate in Jin Dandan's conspiracy. She chose to stand on the side of justice and continue to protect Liu Lanzhi.

Jin Dandan found out that Liu Dan was not cooperating and walked into the room angrily.

You useless maid! You actually betrayed me? Just wait and see, I will make you regret it! Jin Dandan threatened Liu Dan with gritted teeth.

You useless maid! You actually betrayed me? Just wait and see, I will make you regret it! Jin Dandan threatened Liu Dan in a vicious tone.

Facing Jin Dandan's threat, Liu Dan felt uneasy and fearful in his heart.

Jin Dandan is cruel and ruthless, and if she succeeds, my life will become very difficult. Liu Dan secretly clenched his fists and determined to stick to his choice.

Jin Dandan stared at Liu Dan, her heart filled with anger and desire for revenge.

Liu Dan, your betrayal will not lead to good results. I will make you pay the price and make you regret it for the rest of your life! Jin Dandan viciously planned how to take revenge.

Liu Dan felt Jin Dandan's insidiousness and terror, but she would never back down.

No matter how Jin Dandan takes revenge, I will face it bravely because I know that I am fighting for justice and truth. Liu Dan firmly told herself that she would not be afraid of Jin Dandan's threat.

Jin Dandan exerted all kinds of oppression and threats on Liu Dan, trying to force her to surrender.

Liu Dan, do you want to continue living a stable life? As long as you take refuge in me, benefits will continue to flow into your hands. Jin Dandan seduced Liu Dan coldly.

Liu Dan was wavering in her heart. She knew that what Jin Dandan said was not entirely a lie, but she could not pay for betraying Liu Lanzhi.

No matter how hard and tired my life is, I can't betray my family and conscience. I will stick to my original intention and I will never give in no matter what Jin Dandan does. Liu Dan's eyes shone with determination and courage.

Seeing Liu Dan's firm attitude, Jin Dandan decided to adopt another strategy, pretending to care about Liu Dan in an attempt to gain her trust.

Liu Dan, do you really want to give up your future like this? I care about you and I can help you change your destiny. Jin Dandan pretended to be concerned and said to Liu Dan.

Liu Dan was hesitant after listening to Jin Dandan's words.

Does Jin Dandan really care about me? Does she have other plots? Liu Dan had secret doubts in his heart, but he could not completely resist the temptation of Jin Dandan.

Seeing Liu Dan's hesitation, Jin Dandan worked harder to create emotional resonance.

Liu Dan, we are all women, we should unite and help each other. Only I can give you a better future and more opportunities. Jin Dandan said to Liu Dan softly.

Liu Dan fell into an inner tangle. She understood that Jin Dandan's words made sense, but at the same time she also doubted whether there was a bigger conspiracy hidden in it.

Whether the future and opportunities Jin Dandan mentioned are just false beauty, only time and choice can tell me the answer. Liu Dan thought to herself that she did not want to believe Jin Dandan's rhetoric easily.

Jin Dandan continues to work hard to touch Liu Dan's heart.

Liu Dan, you are a smart girl, you should choose your own happiness. I will give you a better life, how are you going to choose? Jin Dandan tried to push Liu Dan to make a choice.

Liu Dan felt the entanglement and confusion in his heart.

Are there really only two options for my future? Betray Liu Lanzhi and conscience, or choose your own interests? How should I choose? Liu Dan was in a dilemma. She needed time and wisdom to make the right decision.

Liu Dan decided to find Jin Dandan's maid Xiao Jin, trying to get more information about Jin Dandan's conspiracy. However, just as she was talking secretly with Xiao Jin, she was accidentally discovered by Liu Lanzhi.

Liu Dan, what are you doing? Why do you want to talk to Xiao Jin in private? Liu Lanzhi asked Liu Dan with a hint of vigilance.

Liu Dan raised his head in shock and looked at Liu Lanzhi worriedly.

Miss Liu, I... I just want to understand Jin Dandan’s true intentions and see if there are any other conspiracies. Liu Dan explained slightly anxiously.

Liu Lanzhi pursed her lips tightly, a trace of doubt bursting out of her eyes.

Liu Dan, is there anything I don't know about this? You should stick to your loyalty and should not collude with Jin Dandan. Liu Lanzhi's tone revealed her disappointment and doubts about Liu Dan.

Liu Dan felt Liu Lanzhi's care and teachings, and felt guilty in his heart.

Miss Liu, you have always been so kind to me, I can't deceive you. Jin Dandan has a conspiracy against you and the child, and I just want to expose the truth for you. Liu Dan admitted his purpose in a low voice.

When Liu Lanzhi heard Liu Dan's words, she felt a surge of deep gratitude and joy in her heart.

Liu Dan, I thank you for your courage and for telling me the truth. We must unite to fight against Jin Dandan’s conspiracy. Liu Lanzhi said to Liu Dan seriously and firmly.
