The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

Lan Wangshu remained silent and looked at Lan Duoduo quietly. She didn't have any strong feelings towards this master and servant. They had always been honest and dutiful, which was not bad. Moreover, it was rare for them to come into the family as an orphan and a widow, and not to follow the crowd.

Since there is no conflict, Lan Wangshu can of course let them go. There is another important reason. Lan Duoduo is a stranger to her. She is not sincere enough and is more thoughtful than Lan Luochen. She is not suitable to stay by her side.

"Tomorrow morning, you will leave with the indentures. Lan Duoduo, you know how much I can trust your words."

The girl's eyes were calm. She did not deny that she was putting pressure on a child. Lan Duoduo blinked and struggled a little, but still chose to nod slowly.

Lan Wangshu sneered in her heart. She was so useless that she could be controlled by a teenager. A wealthy businessman? Do the rich and powerful like to pretend to be wealthy businessmen when they go out? She has read at least a hundred novels, if not thousands. Who is she trying to fool?

She could see that these two people were troublemakers and were hiding their identities here, so she just let them go and let the matter end with Lan Qinghe. Lan Wangshu didn't want to cause herself unnecessary trouble.

"We really need your help. Don't you want to know the whereabouts of your father?"

Zhang Cuicui looked at Lan Duoduo with some confusion. She looked at the branches swaying in the wind outside. This was the first time she went against her young master's wishes. Between obeying orders and saving her own life, Lan Duoduo's survival came first.

The conditions she offered were a bit tempting. Lan Wangshu froze in his tracks and turned his head to look at Zhang Cuicui. The woman was clearly ready to risk it all, and she looked at her with her neck stiffened.

Lan Wangshu obviously would not feel any sympathy for the pale and delicate face, but the determination and courage in her eyes made her look up to her.

"what do you know?"

Lan Wangshu didn't like being threatened. He looked down at Zhang Cuicui with a cold look on his face, and it was obvious that he was angry.

Zhang Cuicui didn't want this to happen, but she had no choice. If she and Lan Duoduo left at this time, they would not be able to survive the winter. She had no choice but to tell the secret.

From her mouth, Lan Wangshu caught a glimpse of the truth.

It turned out that Zhang Cuicui and Lan Qingshan knew each other, and it was Lan Qingshan's idea to get Zhang Cuicui and Lan Qinghe married, and he arranged it all. Lan Wangshu's mind was full of questions. This relationship was too complicated, so complicated that she couldn't understand it.

"Why would my father help you, and how did you two know each other?"

"The young master looks like the lady, and your father recognized him at once. At that time, the young master used a fake death drug, and I escaped by buying it outside the mansion. Later, on the way to escape, I was stopped by your father. He recognized the young master and helped us arrange the rest of the matter."

Lan Wangshu closed his eyes, thoughts racing through his mind.

In my consciousness, Lai Qian'er hugged me tightly, and there were sparks everywhere.

[Host, calm down! ]

"How can you ask me to calm down? This day is even more ridiculous than a novel. Do you have any idea?"

[Host, do you still remember Daming Lake back then...]

"Shut up and go watch TV."

【okay. 】

Lai Qian'er watched his trembling consciousness stabilize and immediately wisely shut his mouth.

Lan Wangshu didn't say anything. He took a few deep breaths and continued to play the music.

Isn't he a simple farmer? Why did it become so complicated? If you think about it this way, his father is not a simple person either. Why did he come back and why did he leave? Could it be that Lan Duoduo's biological mother is his father's confidante?

She untied a ball of thread and found it was a web with countless questions. The countless confusions made her unable to find a clue for a moment. After thinking for a while, she decided to find a clue herself.

"People in the village said my father was dead, but someone saw him in the mountains. He was still alive at the time, but later no one saw him alive or dead. Can you help me solve this mystery?"

Lan Wangshu squatted down and looked Zhang Cuicui in the eye. There was undisguised cruelty in her eyes. Her childish face and bottomless fox eyes made the young woman swallow hard.

Zhang Cuicui tried hard to suppress the trembling in her voice and tried her best to explain things in an orderly manner.

"As soon as the news came back, I followed your grandmother up the mountain. They had some kind of argument, but I couldn't hear clearly because I was too far away. Finally, she came down the mountain with the sheep, and I sneaked over. Your father was seriously injured, but not fatally. He said he had something important to do and had to leave for a while. This trip was a life-threatening one, so just assume he's dead."

Lan Wangshu squeezed his clenched hands, bit his back teeth, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and spoke in a gentle tone.

"So, he left on his own plan and escaped alive?"

Zhang Cuicui nodded silently. Of course she knew what kind of life they had been living over the years, and she felt very distressed, but she did not have the ability to protect her benefactor's children.

"Don't blame your father. He's a good man. He must have something important to do. I was also worried that you wouldn't have food to eat, so I would leave some food at the back door of the hut every once in a while."

Lan Wangshu had no memory of these things, but there was no need for Zhang Cuicui to lie about this issue.

"Busy, I can't help, my dad likes to help, you go find him."

Zhang Cuicui's lips opened slightly. She obviously didn't expect Lan Wangshu to be so stubborn. Even if she brought up Lan Qingshan, it would be useless.

"Sister, please stay. My father's subordinates have contacted me. We won't stay for too long. They also need time to prepare. I will leave in the early spring of next year."

Lan Duoduo obviously didn't know about all these things. He glanced at Zhang Cuicui, but the woman avoided his gaze and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"Why should I help you? You know you are a troublemaker and you think you are worthless."

Zhang Cuicui seemed to understand something. She felt a little humiliated and looked at Landodu with shame. She had never thought of letting him suffer such humiliation.

"I won't cause any trouble for my sister. Even if I want revenge one day, I won't use Lan Duoduo's identity."

Lan Wangshu had originally been more patient with Lan Duoduo, who was similar in age to Lan Luochen, and could not help but think of him as his own brother. It was clear that Lan Duoduo was very smart and knew how to show weakness, and he could also find an angle to negotiate with him.

She pondered for a while, looked at him, and decided to make a good relationship with him. As for whether he could dispel her concerns, it still depends on whether this boy is smart enough.

"There is no impenetrable wall in this world. The truth will eventually come out."

Lan Duoduo looked sincere and used his hands to support his body.

"What if Lan Duoduo died? I am the former prince of Xiqi, Donaye. My father agreed to join forces with Dazhao to resist the attack of the Eastern Yue Kingdom for the sake of the people and attached himself to Dazhao. I don't know what happened in the middle, but my family was slaughtered and my subordinates were also killed in the name of traitors."

This understanding exceeded Lan Wangshu's expectations. She said that this person did not look like a simple person. Sure enough, the protagonist would never be buried in the crowd.

"Don't act rashly. Remember to inform me before you act so that I can be prepared."

"Sister agreed?"

Lan Duoduo was obviously a little excited, and a faint pink color appeared on her face.

Lan Wangshu shook her head. This was not enough because there was no need for her to take a gamble. Even a tiny risk was still a risk. She could take the risk, but her brothers could not.

“What value can you provide before that?”

She sat down and discussed the deal seriously and openly with Lan Duoduo.

"I...I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. After taking the medicine, my body is weak and it is useless."

Lan Duoduo felt a little frustrated. He used to be a favored child of heaven, but now he had nothing and a broken body.

Lan Wangshu looked at the unprecedented grayness in the little boy's eyes and couldn't help but smack his lips. No way, isn't this the foundation of beauty, strength and tragedy? Why did he give up so quickly?

"Well, is there a possibility that your subordinates can provide me with some value?"

Lan Duoduo looked at her with watery eyes and had another idea in her mind.

"Sister, I will send my subordinates to you. You will let them live a stable life."

Lan Duoduo didn't want to take revenge in the first place. The enemy was too powerful. The remaining people were his most trusted ones, and he didn't want anything to happen to them. If he could entrust them to Lan Wangshu, even if he didn't become rich, at least he would have enough food and drink.

"Stop, they are your people, you have to raise them. A servant should not serve two masters. This is a disrespect to yourself and even more so to them. If they don't cause trouble and can help me, I can adopt you temporarily. I know that Lan Duoduo wants to die."

What does Lan Wangshu lack now? Is it money? She doesn't have much money, but she can get investment from others. This is the same as in modern times. When others see that a newcomer has potential, they will invest to get returns.

Do you lack connections? No, you don’t. With Zhou Xingnan, you can walk all over the county. It’s enough for at least a year.

What she lacks is manpower, someone who can stand on his own feet and really help her get things done.

Therefore, if Lan Duoduo's subordinates can provide such value, she can take a little risk, but she will have to deal with some troubles at that time.

"I listen to my sister and follow her arrangements in everything."

Lan Duoduo lowered her head to Lan Wangshu. Zhang Cuicui pursed her lips tightly, knelt straight again, and lowered her head in front of Lan Wangshu.

"Deal. After I go find the village chief, come back with me and take care of your body. Let me be frank with you. If you insist on doing anything, I will not show mercy to anyone around me."

Lan Duoduo smiled, seemingly reluctantly, and his eyes were filled with surprise.

"So my sister cares about me this much? I can stay here and be her little brother."

Lan Wangshu's mouth twitched and she remained silent. She was afraid that Lan Duoduo would not be able to leave her home in his current condition. She would not be able to control her subordinates, and if they went crazy, it would be a disaster.

Although Lan Duoduo never left the room, Zhang Cuicui would tell him about all these big and small things. He could clearly see that today's situation was designed by Lan Wangshu, and it was done neatly. It was obvious that they were the same kind of people, but it was a pity that they were not real siblings.

"What's so good about being my brother?"

The girl stood up gracefully. The floral jacket she was wearing did not make her look rustic. Instead, it gave her a hint of liveliness and playfulness, with her eyes full of watery sparkles.

"Because we are most like siblings."

Lan Duoduo stretched out a little bit of his fragile body, his eyes were bright and his face was a little red. After so many years, he finally saw someone of his own kind. No, Lan Wangshu was even more ruthless than him. He could pretend until he was almost an adult and even fooled him.

"I wouldn't dare. You are a little poisonous snake."

Lan Wangshu reached out and gently clasped Lan Duoduo's neck. The boy did not dodge. She blinked her eyes and rubbed his delicate neck with her cold fingertips. Zhang Cuicui was terrified. Didn't they just reach an agreement? How did it come to this?

She pulled out her hairpin and wanted to try the same trick again, but Lan Wangshu didn't even look at her and just blinked at Lan Duoduo. The boy raised his skinny little hand to stop her.

Lan Wangshu was stunned but he didn't show it. He tried his best to control his expression, and his eyes flickered.

Okay, she admitted that she was pretending. She was just imitating the crazy villains in TV dramas to test Lan Duoduo. This guy is really not afraid of death and is even a little excited.
