Lan Xue sneered: "Don't let me talk nonsense, fellow villagers and elders, think about it for yourselves. Is Master Lan, a fourth-grade official, guilty of marrying his daughter to the son of an inconspicuous businessman? Not to mention that he is still an uneducated person.
He is an incompetent pervert who becomes obsessed with lust when he sees a beautiful woman. Anyone who marries his daughter to him must have a brain problem!
If it weren't for Mr. Lan's kindness, people like them who don't know the rules would have been kicked out of the Lan family long ago, and they still have the nerve to ask for marriage! Besides, this girl has never seen such a father, and Mrs. Lan is thinking about helping her.
My parents, for the sake of my daughter’s happiness this time, refused to agree to their unreasonable demands, so they slandered my daughter’s reputation on the street.”
“You, you—talk nonsense!”
"But I'm telling the truth. If you have any doubts, go check it out as soon as possible. Mr. Lan is kind-hearted and will not bully others."
Having said that, Lan Xue was too lazy to pay attention to Mr. Qin anymore, and drifted away. Compared with Mr. Qin's image, he was immediately impressed, and the onlookers began to point and point, and gradually dispersed.
After Lan Xue came to the city gate to meet Feng Tianmei, Feng Tianmei looked at her with a worried look on her face and said, "Xue'er, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I met some great relatives!"
"relative?"
"Oh, he is a relative of the Lan family."
Feng Tianmei was slightly startled. When did Xueer regard the Lan family as her own?
"By the way, I heard that Meng Ru said that one of her best friends' cousins also went to Tiangong. However, it is said that he ordered his family members not to go to Tiangong again unless they could defeat him. It is said that Tiangong and his party had a narrow escape from death."
"No way!"
"How about we go inquire about it?"
Feng Tianmei nodded, "I'm not in a hurry to go back anyway, it's good to ask around."
"Yeah, let's go to Lan's house then!"
After saying that, she pulled Feng Tianmei and rushed to the Lan family. Feng Tianmei felt that she stayed here more for the Lan family. She shook her head, put aside the doubts in her heart, and came to the Lan family with Lan Xue.
Finding that the atmosphere in the Lan family was very dull, Lan Xue asked someone to ask, only to find out that Mrs. Lan was so angry that she vomited blood and fell into a coma. In anger, Mr. Lan asked his children to stay at home to take care of Mrs. Lan, and then he went to the study to talk to the housekeeper.
What was discussed?
Lan Xue really didn't expect that Mrs. Lan would be so angry, probably because of the deep love and responsibility! The longing for family affection in her heart was too great, and it hurt even more after being disappointed.
If it were her, she would rather not expect anything, so that she would not be disappointed.
Anticipation is always torturous, alas!
The servants of the Lan family had met her before and knew that she was close to their young lady, so they took the initiative to guide them, "Miss Xue, our young lady is taking care of my wife now. She was so angry that she cried and her eyes were red. She said that she would go to the Qin family to argue with them.
, was stopped by the young master."
"Well, I understand. You should keep an eye on the door and don't let anyone break in."
"We know. Miss Xue, the main room is in front. Madam is inside. I'll report-"
"No need, you go and do your work, I'll go in by myself."
The servant thought for a while and nodded, "This young master?"
"Take him to Master Lan, he is here to help."
Feng Tianmei scratched her head, he didn't say he wanted to help!
Alas, but Xue'er has spoken, so he will help! He followed the servant to the study to find Mr. Lan.
Lan Xue walked into Mrs. Lan's room and saw Lan Mengru, another concubine of the Lan family and an aunt waiting on her.
Lan Mengru was slightly startled when she saw her, "You——"
"Is there nothing serious about your mother?"
"The doctor said it was because he was so angry that he was having trouble with his heart."
"Then go out and stay, open some windows, let some air flow, and leave the maid to take care of you. Don't let a bunch of people crowd in here and hinder the patient's rest."
"Oh, okay." Lan Mengru sent her aunt and third lady away, and then she and Lan Xue came to the living room.
Lan Xue glanced at her, "Why, are you not excited anymore?"
"Humph, if this happens, my father will definitely not let them off lightly. It will not be so good if he wants to plunder my mother's things again in the future, and I will definitely not have to marry that guy."
"Hmm... That's true, but your reputation may also be damaged!"
"If you are upright, you are not afraid of slanted shadows!"
Lan Xue felt dumbfounded. This girl was indeed raised to be a bit different. She was a little petty and selfish, but she also had her own principles and backbone.
It's really hard for her to dislike such a person.
"By the way, did you come back because you were worried about us?" Lan Mengru asked with a smile.
Lan Xue shrugged, "No, I want to find your best friend's cousin and ask what's going on in Tiangong."
Lan Mengru's expression changed and she complained: "I haven't bullied you a few times before, why are you so cold-hearted?"
"Yes, yes, you are very kind by not bullying me every day. Lan Mengru, you are so smart, why should I be bullied by you, and why should I think about you after you bully me?"
"Hmph, you evil-minded woman! Long Xilan might regret the marriage after seeing your true face!"
Lan Xue shrugged, "Let him do whatever he wants! It just so happens that Emperor Xia seems to want me to marry Long Tianqi, the general of Xia Kingdom. I have met that man too. He is a good man. If I are with him in the future, um
…It’s going to be all over the place.”
puff--
What's going on?
Is this a good thing? Lan Mengru rolled her eyes and was too lazy to argue with her.
Lan Xue smiled and said, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. You don't have to worry about this matter. Your father will definitely make the two families unable to hold their heads up. I have limited time, so you'd better hurry up and tell me who my best friend is.
Which one is her cousin?"
"But I promised her not to tell anyone."
"Can't say it?" Lan Xue thought for a while, "Then write it down. It's not a violation of the oath."
Well--
Is this okay? Lan Mengru shook his head. Isn’t this too evil!
"Well, if you don't know the situation, we will definitely go to the Heavenly Palace. Then it won't matter if we die in vain. Life is short anyway, die early and be reborn early——"
"Okay, stop talking, I'll just write it!" Lan Mengru looked at someone with contempt, how could he be so heartless, and even cursed himself to death! He sighed and went to write a piece of paper.
To Lan Xue.
Lan Xue took a look, Gu Tianhe, Gu's eldest grandson?
"If you are familiar with Jin Shangyan, you should know Yuling's brother, Gu Fangyu."
Is that man's cousin?
The cousin of Jin Shangyan's good brother came out of the Tiangong. Is there any credit for Jin Shangyan? It's really strange. Jin Shangyan doesn't seem to be a ruthless person. How could he agree to her going to the Tiangong even though he knew it was dangerous? Moreover, I
He also wants to go back. However, judging from his behavior, he is very reluctant to go back to that place.
Let's visit him later. I can't be presumptuous. Let's visit Gu Fangyu first in the name of Jin Shangyan. Through him, we can find Gu Tianhe who has been to Tiangong, hoping to get some useful information.
At this time, a maid serving in the inner room came out and said happily to Lan Mengru: "Miss Fourth, Madam is awake."
