Chapter Sixteen Coincidentally

Again, he was following orders.

Lan Chen was a little helpless and thought he could pry something out of his mouth.

Who does this ‘fate’ mean?

Mr. Chen did not forget to sarcastically say, "I don't know what Liang Ziwen's plan is, but it doesn't matter. Lan Chen, the forces in the capital are targeting you. If you hand over your old house obediently, you won't have to suffer in the future."

Don’t worry, I will be released from prison soon, see you then! Haha.”

Lan Chen looked at Mr. Fan Chen. Although he was about to be imprisoned, his arrogance was not diminished at all.

At that moment, he sneered back and said, "Get out of jail? Mr. Chen still doesn't know what crime he committed?"

"What's the crime? Isn't that guy Liang Ziwen just trying to protect you? How much trouble can you make?"

"What if I say..." Lan Chen lowered his voice and said, "What about colluding with foreign races?"

In an instant, frost flashed across Mr. Chen's face, and what followed was shock.

His hand pointed at Lan Chen tremblingly, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but no words came out.

"I'm sitting in jail. Don't worry, I will visit you often. See you later, Mr. Chen."

Lan Chen left without looking back.

There is no need to say more about this performance.

Perhaps Mr. Chen just didn't expect that he would be discovered by Xian Fengsuo despite being so well hidden.

What was originally just a small fight turned into a serious crime that implicated the nine clans, tsk.

"Master Liang, if nothing happens, I will go back home. I still have to deal with matters in the house."

"Okay, then I won't give it away."

Liang Ziwen cupped his hands and said, "When you have free time in the future, go and collect the bounty first."

Lan Chen raised his eyebrows and said greedily, "What about Zhang Dalong's? It's also mine, right?"

"Okay, okay, but this is the first time I've seen a Lord as greedy for money as you."

"It's just a casual meal. Then I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, Lan Chen left.

Regarding the 'people from the capital' that Mr. Chen mentioned, he did not plan to tell Liang Ziwen yet.

He was worried that there was a huge plan hidden in it, and Liang Ziwen was the first to be entrusted with it, so the involvement was complicated, so I won't mention it for now.

At the same time, he also made up his mind to turn the mansion upside down to see what was inside!

"Tsk, what a bad luck."

Looking at the dejected mansion, Lan Chenba sighed and felt a little helpless. However, when he saw the funeral of a deserted man, this helplessness was washed away by sadness.

He understood that the family had no money to pay for the funeral, but there were only two figures walking around, which still made him dumbfounded.

"No one even came to offer incense."

"But the bastard things I did are normal. Just treat it as a new life."

Striding towards the threshold, Lan Chen shouted, "Zhu Laosan, Xiao Zhou, I'm back!"

"Master!" Zhu Laosan, who was wearing sackcloth and mourning, was so surprised that he dropped the fragrant oil in his hand.

Xiao Zhou was even more exaggerated. She was crying profusely, but when she saw Lan Chen, she was so shocked that she couldn't breathe and coughed repeatedly, with snot spraying out of her nose.

"Master, Master!" Zhu Laosan knelt down on his knees, picked up the incense, and worshiped again and again. "I will do it tomorrow, no! Now I will go from house to house to borrow some silver to make the funeral a glorious one so that you can go away with peace of mind!"

"

"Ha..." Lan Chen smiled bitterly.

The two people who were kept in the dark probably thought they were seeing a ghost.

He had no choice but to stop, waved his hand and said, "I'm not dead. It was a mistake made by Xian Fengsuo. That body is not, definitely not mine! Look, am I not alive and well?"

Seeing that the two of them still looked unbelieving, Lan Chen had no choice but to step forward. Regardless of the frightened Zhu Laosan, he grabbed his hand and put it on his body. "What? I'm not a ghost, am I?"

"Really...really young master!"

The extremely excited Zhu Laosan, regardless of the superiority of master and servant, stretched out his hands to touch Lan Chen's face, "You're not dead, you're not dead!"

After a while, he realized what was wrong, and he took his hand back and stood uneasily, full of embarrassment.

After seeing this, Lan Chen bowed and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, something happened in the meantime. This was something I discussed with Xianfengsuo in advance. In order to prevent the casino from noticing anything strange, I hid it from you."

, and it has also made you worried."

"But it was also because of your ignorance that the gambling house was deceived, and I successfully got the house deed back. The IOUs were paid in full!"

Looking at the house deed in Lan Chen's hand, Zhu Laosan couldn't help but blush and said, "I know it, I know it! Master, you are not a prodigal! Master, if he..."

Zhu Laosan was stunned.

Since being demoted, there has been no news about the master and his wife, and their life and death are uncertain.

Lan Chen sensed his uneasiness and comforted him by saying, "Don't worry, mom and dad will be fine. Xuzhou's arrangements are in place. I'm going to find out the truth about my demotion. I feel like someone is playing tricks behind my back."

"Let's not talk about this for now. Take away the white cloth, mulberry and linen. It looks bad luck. Let's leave the body here and take it away later."

"Okay! Master!"

Both Zhu Laosan and Zhu Laosan felt like they were "reborn".

Not only because of Lan Chen's 'resurrection', but also because of the redemption of the house deed, he no longer has to live in fear.

"Ah...Lan Chen!?"

There was movement outside the open door.

Sun Miaomiao's eyes widened, she covered her mouth with the silk scarf, stretched out her trembling hand and pointed directly at Lan Chen, "You...you..."

For a long time, he couldn't hold back a word or catch his breath. Waves of dizziness came over him, and he was knocked unconscious.

At the critical moment, Lan Chen and several others rushed forward, freed up their hands and wrapped Sun Miaomiao's waist tightly to prevent them from falling to the ground.

"Hello? Hello! Are you okay!? Sun Miaomiao!"

Lan Chen panicked, what was going on?

Why did Sun Miaomiao come to Lan Mansion?

Fainted after seeing him?

Could it be that he fainted from fright?

Lan Chen thought of something and said helplessly, "Wake up, hey, I'm not a ghost, I'm not dead, I'm still alive."

Just at this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves.

Hiss... hoo hoo

"Lan Chen! You! What are you doing!"

The beautiful shadow passed by, and Lin Dongshuang turned over, jumped off the horse, walked directly in front of Lan Chen, and slapped him!

Crisp and loud!

Lan Chen was stunned and didn't even have time to curse.

Lin Dongshuang said coldly with tears in her eyes, "In broad daylight...you actually hugged a woman at the door of your house! You and my sister are engaged!"

"I never thought that you would use fake death to deceive your mother-in-law. Ha, well done, Lan Chen, you still pretend to be cool!"

"I thought that if you finally died, the engagement would be immediately voided, but now I still ask you to go to the capital as soon as possible! Otherwise, you might as well die!"

Indignantly, Lin Dongshuang rushed onto the horse and rode away.

Lan Chen was left stunned and had no idea what was going on.

The curse words were lingering in his mouth and when he was about to spit them out, Lan Chen suddenly came back to his senses.

"Lin Dongshuang? You want to give me some incense, right... This is such a big misunderstanding. She seemed to be crying just now?"

The anger at being slapped inexplicably disappeared without even realizing it.

Lan Chen felt warm in his heart.

I thought that if he died, no one in the city would be sad.

But now it seems that there are still two women who are still willing to offer incense to express their condolences.

"Well...Lan Chen? Why am I here? Could it be?"
