"Can."

Jiang Chu seemed to think for a moment, then nodded.

"Then let's find a teahouse to do divination?" Lan Dazhuang asked.

"No, the teahouse is too noisy with people coming and going," Jiang Chu said.

"You can find a private room."

"There are people walking around outside the private room, so it's not very quiet." Jiang Chu shook his head.

"Then, are you going home with me?"

After Lan Dazhuang said this, he felt something strange, "Don't get me wrong, it's just that my yard is really quiet. As long as I give orders, my servants won't come to disturb me."

"Is your home far away?" Jiang Chu asked with a frown.

"It's not far, it's over there."

Lan Dazhuang stretched out his hand and pointed, which was the direction of the Lan family.

"Lan family? Is that your home?" Jiang Chu looked unbelieving.

She forced herself to suppress the corners of her lips that were about to rise and prevent herself from laughing at this moment.

"Then can I still lie to you? If you don't believe me, come with me and see if the concierge will let me in!"

Lan Dazhuang said speechlessly.

"Okay, I guess your Lan family wouldn't do anything like robbing civilian girls." Jiang Chu snorted.

"Tch, even if I want to grab it, I'll grab it to look good... Besides, our Lan family is very strict, so what you said won't happen."

Lan Dazhuang walked in front and led the way, while his followers followed behind.

"Master."

When the concierge saw Lan Dazhuang, he bowed and stepped aside.

Lan Dazhuang hummed, glanced at Jiang Chu proudly, and then walked in swaggeringly.

Jiang Chu followed.

Looking around quietly, the Lan family is indeed much more low-key than the Qin family, not only from the outside, but also from the inside.

But underneath this low profile, there is tranquility and elegance. The servants are silent when walking, and they will stop and salute when they see Lan Dazhuang.

"You are really the son of the Lan family, what do you call him?" Jiang Chu asked.

"Lan Dazhuang."

"Your name is really easy to remember." Jiang Chu praised.

"...If you want to say my name is vulgar, just say it, why are you going round about it?"

Lan Dazhuang didn't mind Jiang Chu's words, and explained to her, "I didn't have this name originally, but I got a serious illness when I was a child, and my body became weak from then on, and then my parents changed it for me.

I changed my name to a cheap name so that I could make a living. No, it turned out to be Lan Dazhuang. It is said that there were other Lan Ergou and Lan Heidan at that time, but my mother really couldn't accept it. In the end, she reluctantly felt that Dazhuang was still better.

Sound nicer."

"Your mother is right."

Jiang Chu nodded in agreement, "So your name is still useful?"

"Not to mention, it does work! After that, my health got better and I rarely got any major or minor illnesses!"

While talking, Lan Dazhuang was about to take Jiang Chu to his courtyard, but as soon as he turned a corner, he met someone on the way.

The woman in front of her had fair skin, a slim waist, a small face, and a pair of affectionate eyes. She walked up and bowed to Lan Dazhuang, "Big brother is here."

Jiang Chu glanced at Lan Dazhuang.

When he saw this woman approaching, Lan Dazhuang's reaction was a little unnatural, as if he was dodging.

"...Well, where are you going?" he asked.

"I went to accompany my mother to copy scriptures, and by the way I made a bowl of soup to bring to her," the woman said.

"Oh, let's go then."

Lan Dazhuang wanted to leave as he spoke.

"Brother, this sister is..."

The woman's eyes looked over at Jiang Chu.

"A friend, I have something to talk about." Lan Dazhuang didn't want to say more.

"I see...but I seem to smell a fragrance..."

The woman twitched her little nose, and the direction of the smell was towards Jiang Chu.

Jiang Chu:……

She silently reached into her arms and took out a paper bag, "Meat pie, Miss Lan, do you want to eat it?"

Meeting Lan Dazhuang was so sudden that she didn't even have time to deliver the meat pie to the driver, so she had to take it with her.

The freshly baked meatloaf is so fragrant that it still smells good even if it is packed in a paper bag.

Jiang Chu felt speechless.

The girl smelled of flowers when she was close to him, and the smell of meat when she was close to him.

That’s outrageous!

The woman opposite was obviously stunned for a moment. She looked at the obviously thick meat pie, then at Jiang Chu, and then she opened her mouth and said, "This sister...has a good appetite."

This is not for me to eat alone!

Do you believe me when I say this is what my whole family eats?

Jiang Chu opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but the woman had already bowed again and then walked away.

As the woman left, Lan Dazhuang almost breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Go quickly, go quickly."

Lan Dazhuang glanced back, then pushed Jiang Chu on his back and trotted into the yard.

"Why are you running?" Jiang Chu asked helplessly.

"I don't want to see her. I feel uncomfortable when I see her."

After pushing open the door of the study room and asking his entourage to pour tea for the two of them, Lan Dazhuang sat down on the chair.

"What do you want to tell?"

Jiang Chu sat down and asked.

"Have you heard about the recent events in our family?" Lan Dazhuang was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chu looked confused.

But her heart suddenly moved.

Could it be that what Lan Dazhuang wants to divine is...

"I have a sister of the same age as me named A Ning. She is not the sister born to my parents. She is the daughter of my uncle's family. The uncle and his wife only have one daughter, but when she gave birth, my uncle... did not return home.

My aunt suddenly gave birth prematurely while she was at her parents' home, and her body was depleted of milk. It happened that my aunt's sister from my natal family was also breastfeeding at that time, so she nursed my sister Aning on her behalf, and my eldest aunt also stayed."

"My eldest aunt's sister, also known as Aunt Qin, has been taking care of Ah Ning for half a year. My mother was injured and could not get care from the Lan family, so she has been living at my grandfather's house. Because of her weakness, she was often in

He is in a comatose state, but fortunately his health is not serious and he is slowly getting better."

"But at this time, my uncle suddenly encountered danger outside, and his life or death was unknown. After hearing the news, my eldest aunt went to find him regardless, and then entrusted Aunt Qin to take care of A Ning, but she didn't expect that this would be

Three years.”

Lan Dazhuang frowned the whole time as he spoke, looking very worried.

"Three years later, my uncle and aunt came back safely, so they took Ah Ning back home and have been there ever since," he said.

"Then what?" Jiang Chu asked.

"After Ah Ning came back, we all regarded her as family and never thought about what would happen in the middle. But just last month, Aunt Qin came to our Lan Mansion with another woman of my age.

Tell us...that person is Ah Ning, and the original Ah Ning is not of the Lan family's blood."
