"Don't be so frivolous. Just stay in Kyoto and do your best. We'll be counting on you when we get there."

Lan Wangshu couldn't help but roll his eyes. Why was this guy so dramatic?

Zhou Xingnan restrained his pretentious expression and stood up straight.

"Boss, I'll be waiting for you in Kyoto."

Lan Wangshu turned around and waved his hand. Lan Luochen looked at the girl's departing back and pointed at the big box on the ground.

"This is what your sister prepared for you, and that is for your elder brother. Go back early."

Zhou Xingnan covered his chest, his face turned pale, and he staggered step by step and hooked his arm around Lan Luochen's neck.

"Brother, how can you be so ruthless?"

Lan Luochen felt that he was being teased, but he had no evidence, and his face looked very ugly. Lan Duoduo just laughed when he saw this.

The pale-faced boy calmed down a little after being glared at by Lan Luochen, and returned to his room leisurely.

"You should leave quickly."

Lan Luochen frowned in disdain, brushed away the hand that was resting on his shoulder, and went into the study.

When he came out again, he was holding two booklets in his hands and smashed them towards Zhou Xingnan's chest.

"You have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. You are not cute at all."

Lan Luochen clenched his fist in anger, and Zhou Xingnan left with the things with a smile.

The young man in bright clothes and riding a vigorous horse walked further and further away, his outline becoming smaller and smaller. Lan Luochen shook his head helplessly. Zhou Xingnan was one of his few friends. He still felt it was a pity to think that they would not see each other for a long time.

Lan Wangshu sorted the gifts into categories and stored the valuable ones he liked in the space, and put the others in a temporary warehouse that was separated from the study.

She said she had forgotten something and now remembered it.

The girl walked into the yard and looked around but didn't see anyone.

"Cui Cui."

"girl."

"Look at you, why didn't you remind me to prepare a house for you and Dashu? It just so happens that there is still a lot of red cloth left from the coming-of-age ceremony. I'll keep it for you to decorate your new house. I've embroidered so much of the cloth I gave you last time. I'll prepare a banquet for you once the wedding dress is ready."

Zhang Cuicui's face suddenly turned red. She thought that Lan Wangshu was just talking. At her age, she didn't care whether it was legitimate or not. Besides, the two of them had always lived in the same room and had everything they needed. She really didn't think about holding a banquet.

"Everything is ready, thank you girl."

Lan Wangshu took out the indentures of Zhang Cuicui, Lan Duoduo and Dashu from the space through his sleeves and handed them to her.

"Keep it, we'll go to the county tomorrow to deal with the matter."

"girl."

Zhang Cuicui looked at the thin paper in her hand and her lips trembled. She could actually be free again.

"Don't be tearful. Today is an unlucky day for my birthday. The doctor beside Lady Xin said that she will have someone prepare medicine for Duoduo's illness. It's time."

Zhang Cuicui heard the coldness in her words and her expression became particularly firm.

"I am willing to be driven by the girl."

"Cuicui, you are a smart person and a great person. Duoduo can get to where he is today thanks to your sacrifice. I hope you and Dashu can live a good life and have a child of your own in the future. Don't count on Lan Zhaozhao."

"Is she... okay?"

After all, Lan Zhaozhao is also Zhang Cuicui's child. Even though she was born under pressure, I still can't help but ask one more question.

"I went to the You family a few years ago, and she was gone. She was drained of her body by the miscarriage."

Lan Wangshu glossed over the incident and didn't mention a word about the fact that she had angered Lan Zhaozhao to death. In her opinion, saying anything would only add to her troubles. She was not a fool. What if Zhang Cuicui's maternal love was awakened one day? Wouldn't that cause trouble for her?

"That child was raised crooked."

"Children should be born with expectation and love. You should take good care of the child and have another one with Dashu. I will go to register the household tomorrow and you will manage part of the property for me in the future."

"I?"

Zhang Cuicui rubbed her ears and looked up at her.

"Of course, you have been with the queen for so long, you are not just an ordinary maid."

"Yes, I have been with the queen since I was a child. I was trained by my family for the queen. It's a pity that I can't follow the queen in the end."

"I know your intentions and understand your feelings, but Duoduo needs you, I need you too, and Xiqi needs you for revenge. Maybe you can't do it, and you can't work in official circles, but you can do business and make money, and manage the industry well. We have people, brains, and knowledge, but we lack money."

"I understand what the young lady means."

Zhang Cuicui's eyes were gentle yet determined. She seemed to have found the goal of her life and knew what she should do.

"Don't call yourself a slave in the future. We don't like this. If you feel uncomfortable, just be like Dashan and the others and be a subordinate. Don't worry, the day of revenge will not be too far away. How much do you know about Xihe?"
