The adopted daughter returns with a new face

After Lan Rufeng left the Lan Mansion, he stayed in the small inn to rest during the day. At night, he put on his nightgown and went out masked to inquire about the original owner and find out the road conditions in the capital.

The original owner followed the Liang family back to Beijing when she was ten years old. Although she lived in the capital, as a lady from a wealthy family, she did not go out often, so she was not very familiar with the city.

It was already the fourth day since Lan Rufeng left the Lan Mansion. Lin Ruyan stood in the courtyard and looked at the wide-open door. There were still two days left. Lan Rufeng had promised to return in three days. Today was already the fourth night, and she couldn't help but worry.

"Mother, it's windy, let's go into the hall!" Mo Liangyan came out to help her mother, knowing that she was looking forward to Lan Rufeng's return. But today was the fourth night, and he hadn't come back yet, which made her even more suspicious that he was a liar.

"It's okay. I'll stand there for a while." Lin Ruyan refused to enter the hall. She didn't believe that Lan Rufeng would lie to her.

Lan Ruyun stood in front of the hall, looking at his mother's expectations for Lan Rufeng, and was also worried. His sister was about to give birth in two days, and he had not come back yet.

The people in the palace saw the princess standing in the courtyard waiting for Lan Rufeng, and they all stood in front of the hall to wait, and no one left.

Lan Rufeng walked slowly to the front of the Lan Mansion, and seeing the door wide open, she frowned and walked up the steps. Her sudden appearance made Lin Ruyan, who was standing in the courtyard, almost cry with joy.

"Master Lan is back?" Everyone called out happily when they saw Rufeng.

"What's going on?" Lan Rufeng stepped into the mansion and looked at Lin Ruyan, Mu Liangyan standing in the yard, Lan Ruyu and Zhong Yan in front of the hall, as well as the guards and servants in the mansion. He was a little confused about the situation.

"Mr. Lan, where have you been?" Lin Ruyan asked with a smile.

"I'm sorry to have worried your princess. I just went out of the city to the mountain to pick some herbs. What are you doing?" Lan Rufeng looked at the people in the mansion who kept lying and almost understood the situation. They were waiting for her, afraid that she would run away.

"You're glad you're back. Let's go into the hall first." Lin Ruyan smiled and invited Lan Rufeng into the hall. When everyone saw that he had returned, they dispersed.

"Mr. Lan, don't you have a pass? How do you enter and exit the city gate?" Zhong Yan asked when he saw Lan Rufeng sitting down.

"General Zhong, aren't you asking this even though you already know the answer? No matter how high the city walls are, they can't stop me. It's more important to hurry back and receive the Queen's reward." Lan Rufeng said with a faint smile.

"Uncle Lin, prepare food for Master Lan." Lan Ruyun ordered.

"No need, I've already used it." Lan Rufeng stopped Lin Chengdong and said, "I left so abruptly and made you worry. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, I'm glad you're back." Lin Ruyan said with a smile. She said that he would not lie to her or go back on his word.

"I wonder what kind of herbs Master Lan is going to collect, and why he's been gone for three or four days?" Mu Liangyan asked somewhat dissatisfiedly.

Lan Rufeng took a look at Liang Yan, thinking that she might be unhappy because she left without saying goodbye, so he smiled and said, "Of course, they are some very important herbs. The princess doesn't know the pharmacology."

"What? How dare you say that she doesn't know pharmacology? It's useless to say anything." Mu Liangyan cried out inwardly and turned her face away. This guy was so arrogant that he didn't even take her into consideration. Her cousin actually liked him. She was so angry.

"I was rather direct in my words, I hope the princess can forgive me." Lan Rufeng apologized to the angry Mu Liangyan and reached out to pick up the teacup.

Mu Liangyan turned her head to look at Lan Rufeng who was drinking tea, and said unhappily: "I really don't know why Qingwu fell in love with such an arrogant guy like you?"

"Puff..." Lan Rufeng took a sip of tea and spat it out because of Mu Liangyan's words, shocking everyone and they all looked at him.

"I'm sorry, I was rude." Lan Rufeng apologized awkwardly and put down the teacup slowly.

"Why is Mr. Lan reacting so strongly? Doesn't he know that Qingwu has feelings for you?" Mu Liangyan asked angrily.

"Princess, you are wrong. I have just arrived in the capital and have only met Miss Feng once. How dare I offend her?" Lan Rufeng hurriedly explained, thinking: "How could Mu Liangyan say that Feng Qingwu liked him?"

"Qingwu came to look for you that day, calling you Brother Lan all the time. Every sentence she said was about how handsome Brother Lan was, how good his kung fu was, and how he saved her." Mu Liangyan said unhappily.

Lan Ruyun was amazed by his wife's reaction. She felt resentful towards this guy and thought he was unreasonable and arrogant, but he could understand that.

"I didn't expect that a simple thing I did would make Miss Feng remember it. I really feel guilty. I hope the princess can explain to Miss Feng on my behalf that I am just a wandering man and dare not offend Miss Feng." Lan Rufeng hurriedly distanced himself from the matter.

"Mr. Lan is too modest. If I had a daughter, I would be willing to let her marry you. Unfortunately, she doesn't have that blessing." Lin Ruyan smiled faintly. She just thought that Lan Rufeng was a good person. If his daughter were still alive, he would really be willing to marry you.

"What do you mean, Princess?" Lan Rufeng was confused. Didn't Lan Ruyu marry the prince? Why did she get involved? This was a lot of information.

"Mr. Lan, you don't know that I have a younger sister who got lost when she was a child. It has been fifteen years now, and I don't know where she is or how she is doing?" Lan Ruyun answered Lan Rufeng's question on behalf of her mother.

"I'm sorry for making the princess recall the past. I'm a little tired, so I'll go down and rest first." Lan Rufeng apologized lightly, stood up, picked up his bag and followed Chen Er away.

"Don't be sad, mother. Feng'er must be living a good life. It's late. I'll help you go back to your room to rest." Lan Ruyun comforted her mother and reached out to help her up.

Mu Liangyan waved her hand to let everyone go, and followed her husband back to the room. Lan Rufeng relied on his ability to make fun of her, he really deserved a beating.

Lan Rufeng followed Chen Er back to the West Wing and told him to fetch water for her to wash up. After washing up, she told him to clean up, close the door and lie on the bed, thinking about Mu Liangyan's words. Feng Qingwu and Chen Siyao were the same age. They loved to fight and play since they were young, and everyone in the capital knew it.

But why did they fall for me, a person they had only met once? During the few days I lived in the corner of the west city, I had learned a little about what happened in Beijing three years ago.

Three years ago, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, the night when the original owner died, there was a total lunar eclipse. Rumors spread in the capital that the red moon could eat people, and the rumors became more and more intense. In the end, the emperor ordered the beheading of the person to suppress it.

Lin Ruyan also had a daughter who went missing fifteen years ago. Lan Ruyu's face could not help but flash through her mind, and she raised her hand to stroke her own face. If Lin Ruyan's daughter went missing fifteen years ago, then Lan Ruyu must be twenty years old, right? How old was her youngest daughter when she went missing?

Lan Rufeng came back, and Lin Ruyan's worries were finally put to rest. She asked people to entertain Lan Rufeng and waited at home for news from her daughter and for words from the palace.

Four days later, around noon, she finally received news from the palace that her daughter was about to give birth, and she hurriedly led her son and Lan Rufeng into the palace.

Lan Rufeng was also speechless. This woman was giving birth, not going to the market. Looking at the anxious Lin Ruyan, her son and Mu Liangyan, he didn't say anything. He went into the palace and came to the East Palace to see the emperor, empress, prince, Chu Jianfeng, and several imperial doctors.

"Your Majesty, this is Young Master Lan." As soon as the Queen saw Lan Rufeng, she hurriedly introduced him to the Emperor.

"Your humble servant Lan Rufeng pays homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Empress. May Your Highness be blessed with good health." Lan Rufeng bowed to the Emperor, the Empress, and Mu Liangcheng.

The emperor took a look at the man in front of him, who was just as the queen had said, neither humble nor overbearing, neither arrogant nor impatient, with a calm and composed temperament. He was a little annoyed: "When this man saw him, he did not kneel, but only bowed, just as the queen had said."

Thinking about the Crown Princess's condition, he said, "Mr. Lan, there is no need to be polite. Follow Doctor Chu in and check on the Crown Princess."

"I obey your order." Lan Rufeng followed Chu Jianfeng and walked in after the eunuch pushed open the door. The door creaked and closed again. As soon as he entered the room, he heard Lan Ruyu's heart-wrenching cry.
