The adopted daughter returns with a new face

Lan Rufeng packed up his things, came down with his bag, smiled at everyone, and followed them out of the backyard. When he came to the front and saw the ten taels of silver handed over by Yang Feng, he took it without hesitation and stuffed it into his arms, then followed everyone out and walked south.

"Brother Lan, you are so good at martial arts, can you teach me in the future?" Chen Siyao asked as she approached Lan Rufeng.

"It's better for girls to learn needlework, as swords and knives have no mercy." Lan Rufeng replied politely.

When Chen Siyao heard Lan Rufeng asked her to learn needlework, her face instantly lit up with joy. It turned out that he liked gentle women. She smiled and said, "I'll listen to Brother Lan."

"What?" Everyone's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when they heard that Chen Siyao wanted to learn needlework. How could they not be surprised that someone who wields swords and guns all day wanted to learn needlework? Seeing her staring at Lan Rufeng with a smile on her face, they couldn't help but sweat for Lan Rufeng.

Lan Rufeng felt a little scared when Chen Siyao stared at him. The way she looked at him seemed a little strange! Oh my god! It must not be what she thought.

"Miss Chen, I was just talking nonsense just now. I hope you don't take it seriously. It's okay for women to learn some kung fu for self-defense." Lan Rufeng quickly changed the subject.

"Brother Lan is so nice." Chen Siyao smiled brightly and looked at Lan Rufeng.

"Be careful..." Lan Rufeng reached out and pulled Chen Siyao into his arms, avoiding the carriage that almost hit her.

Chen Siyao was caught off guard and was hugged by Lan Rufeng. She smelled the faint herbal scent on him and her heart started beating wildly. She felt shy.

Everyone saw Lan Rufeng hugging Chen Siyao, who was almost hit by the carriage, into his arms. When he let go of Chen Siyao, her whole face was flushed with blush, and she pretended not to see it.

"Miss Chen, please walk carefully and be careful not to get bumped into." Lan Rufeng warned Chen Siyao as she looked at her blushing face, but he wished he could chop off his own nosy hand.

“Okay…” Chen Siyao agreed in a sweet voice, her heart beating like a deer as she followed Lan Rufeng. Her sweet look made everyone frown, it turned out that the little witch also had lustful thoughts.

It was not convenient for Chen Siyao to go to the Lan Mansion, so she said goodbye to Lan Rufeng when she reached the fork in the road. After watching them leave, she covered her face with her hands and ran towards home.

"Lan Mansion" Lan Rufeng followed everyone to the Lan Mansion. Looking at the huge mansion in front of him, he went in without saying a word.

Lan Ruyun and the others confirmed that this guy knew their identities and followed them into the mansion.

When the housekeeper Lin Chengdong saw his master and the prince coming back together, he bowed and greeted them.

"Wow! Your house is really magnificent, with flowing water under small bridges, singing birds, fragrant flowers, and numerous rockery. The old man looks well, too." Lan Rufeng smiled and stepped into the hall. After he came in, he threw the things on the table without any hesitation and sat down.

"Uncle Lin, tell mother and the mistress to clean up the west wing for Master Lan to live in." Lan Ruyun gave the order and went into the hall to ask the maid to serve tea.

"I'm just a country bumpkin. I never thought that I'd meet such distinguished people like you just two days after arriving in Beijing. I'm so lucky that I'd wake up laughing in my dreams." Lan Rufeng smiled faintly and took a sip of the tea.

"Ahem..." Mu Liangcheng heard Lan Rufeng's words and coughed lightly, "Master Lan, you are joking. I didn't mean to hide it. Please forgive me, Master Lan."

"Yesterday I met Prince Rong and Master Feng Manor, and today I met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince Consort. I am sorry for being rude, please forgive me." Lan Rufeng smiled and raised her glass towards Mu Liangcheng. It was impossible for her to kneel down and salute the little brat.

"Mr. Lan, you are too polite." Mu Liangcheng smiled and raised the teacup to return the favor to Lan Rufeng.

"By the way, Your Majesty, if I were to live in your mansion, I have a request." Lan Rufeng put down the teacup and said to Lan Ruyun.

"Mr. Lan, please speak," said Lan Ruyun.

"I have a bad habit. I like quiet and sleep late. My Xiaohong is even lazier and has a bad temper. If there are servants who have nothing to do in the mansion, please don't go to where I live." Lan Rufeng said, lowering his head and calling to his chest: "Hong'er, come out and meet everyone, so as to avoid meeting someone you don't know and flooding the Dragon King Temple."

"Swish, swish..." Xiaohong was spitting out her tongue lazily, and a long-horned head popped out from the master's clothes on the chest. The fiery red little body slowly fell into everyone's sight, climbed onto the master's shoulder, stood on her shoulder, spitting out her tongue, and looked at everyone with her head tilted.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the little red snake with two horns. This thing was obviously poisonous, no wonder Lan Rufeng warned people not to get close to where he lived. If they were bitten, they would die immediately.

Lin Ruyan and her daughter-in-law came in and were very happy to see Lan Rufeng: "Master Lan, you are here?"

Lan Rufeng smiled and stood up, pretending to say: "I greet Princess Nan'an, the eldest princess."

When Mu Liangyan saw the red snake on Lan Rufeng's shoulder, she took two steps back in fright. This young man had a very handsome face and he actually kept a snake as a pet.

"Princess, don't be afraid. Xiaohong will never attack anyone." Lan Rufeng smiled as he looked at Mu Liangyan who took two steps back in fear. After not seeing her for more than three years, these girls in the capital are really more beautiful than each other.

"Master Lan, please take a seat." Lin Ruyan smiled and asked Lan Rufeng to sit down. She took the hand of her daughter-in-law who was frightened by Xiaohong, walked to the main seat and sat down before saying, "I was really worried that Master Lan had left the capital. Fortunately, Master Lan is still in the capital."

"I am a little tired after walking all the way. The flowers in the capital are so beautiful that I have to stop and admire them." Lan Rufeng said with a faint smile.

"I haven't thanked you for saving me, but I want to trouble you, Mr. Lan. I'm really sorry. I won't hide it from you, Mr. Lan, but my daughter is pregnant. I hope you can help her." Lin Ruyan was not polite to Lan Rufeng.

"Princess, could you please tell me the situation?" Lan Rufeng asked calmly.

"The Crown Princess is due in five or six days, but the baby's head has not yet turned. Doctor Chu said that there might be danger during labor, so I had to ask my son to find Master Lan in a hurry." Lin Ruyan answered truthfully.

"Your Highness, you may be worrying too much. In fact, when a woman is pregnant, it does not mean that she will give birth at the full term. Some may give birth half a month earlier or six or seven days later. This is all normal. If this is the Crown Princess's first child, then it is even more normal. However, I have to investigate the situation to find out the reason." Lan Rufeng comforted the overly worried Lin Ruyan.

"Thank you, Mr. Lan. With you here, I feel relieved." Lin Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Princess, you think too highly of me. I'm just trying to make a living in the underworld." Lan Rufeng looked at Lin Ruyan, who seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden. She placed all her hopes on her.

"I can only say that Mr. Lan is too modest. I'll have someone take Mr. Lan downstairs to have a look at the residence first. Is he satisfied?" Lan Ruyun stood up with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lan Rufeng stood up and nodded to Mu Liangcheng and Yang Feng, then picked up his things and left following Lan Ruyu.

Mu Liangyan watched the man leave before she said, "Mother, this man's temper is indeed a bit strange. That little red snake doesn't look big, but it's very scary."

"Don't be afraid, Liangyan. Although that young man is cold-hearted, he is actually kind-hearted. As long as you don't provoke Xiaohong, she won't attack anyone." Lin Ruyan comforted her frightened daughter-in-law.

"Mother, let my brother-in-law bring the people into the palace tomorrow to check on the situation for the Crown Princess. Your son and Zhang Cheng will go back first." The Crown Prince said goodbye when he saw that the matter had been settled.

Lin Ruyan nodded in agreement and watched the prince, his servant and Yang Feng leave. She didn't know why, but she just believed that Lan Rufeng would be able to help her daughter.
