The adopted daughter returns with a new face

Yue Jingyang and the other two turned around and hid to the side. They hid to the side and watched the old lady leave before coming out.

"Brother Lan, don't you want to marry Prince Rong?" Yue Jingyang asked as soon as he entered the hall.

"The world of Jianghu is so great, so free." Lan Rufeng said with a smile.

"That's true." Yue Jingyang agreed. It would be weird to think about Lan Rufeng being trapped in the backyard with his personality.

When Lan Qin was seeing the old lady off from the house, she saw Yue Jingyun and Prince Rong returning from court.

When Mu Rongchen saw the old lady coming out of Qiulin Mansion, he stepped forward to greet her and asked her if she wanted to visit him at the mansion.

The old lady shook her head and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

Mu Rongchen looked at the old lady who looked unhappy and got on the carriage. He actually wanted to ask what Lan Rufeng had said to the old lady?

Yue Jingyun glanced at the departing carriage and called Lan Qin to go into the mansion. When she saw Lan Rufeng in the hall, she told her directly about the reward given to him by the emperor.

"Brother, why did the emperor reward you with a mansion? And also appointed you as the General of the Central Army?" Yue Jingyang suddenly felt something was wrong.

Lan Rufeng looked at Yue Jingyun, and suddenly her mind flashed back to the scene in Cangshan where Mu Liangyu praised him for his good looks. Did the emperor want Yue Jingyun to be his son-in-law? He also wanted to use his relationship with the Lin family to restrain the Lin family. It was such a good plan that she wanted to swear.

"Sister, the emperor might be...?" Yu Qianqian wanted to say that the emperor might be plotting against Yue Jingyun, but she didn't dare to say the last few words.

"Brother, even if you helped along the way, how can you be so unreasonable?" Yue Ling'er felt that the emperor was too overbearing. She forced her brother to join the officialdom even though he didn't want to.

"Jingyun, come with me." Lan Rufeng stood up and called Shangyue Jingyun back to the backyard. She had to explain everything to him.

Yue Jingyun followed Lan Rufeng back to the backyard. The two of them came to the study. Lan Rufeng sat down and said, "Jingyun, you have to be mentally prepared. The old emperor may want you to be his son-in-law."

"What?" Yue Jingyun was so shocked that he jumped up from his chair and looked at Lan Rufeng in disbelief.

Lan Rufeng looked at the frightened guy and reminded him that Cangshan Mu Liangyu's reaction when he saw him frightened Yue Jingyun so much that his legs went limp and he collapsed on the chair.

"Feng'er, what should I do? The emperor is totally unreasonable. I refused, but he forced it on me. I can't marry the princess." Yue Jingyun placed his hopes on Lan Rufeng.

"What can I do? I can't enter the palace." Lan Rufeng was helpless and spread his hands. Although he hated the emperor's unreasonableness, he also hoped that Yue Jingyun could get married. Mu Liangyu was beautiful and had a good temper, so it would be a good thing to marry her.

"Damn it, how can this be a reward? It's simply a death sentence." Yue Jingyun couldn't stop cursing the emperor in anger. He did nothing wrong, yet he was plotted against.

"Don't be angry. Emperors have always been the most ruthless and selfish. But only if you become strong, Jingyang and Ling'er will have someone to rely on in the future." While Lan Rufeng insulted the emperor, he comforted Yue Jingyun, hoping that he could live a good life and provide a support for his younger brothers and sisters.

Although Yue Jingyun agreed with what Lan Rufeng said, he also knew that he could only keep his feelings for her in his heart.

"Feng'er, do you like Prince Rong?" Yue Jingyun looked at Lan Rufeng with burning eyes.

Lan Rufeng didn't expect Yue Jingyun to ask her this question, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment. If she hadn't been injured and pretended to be asleep, she wouldn't have heard the conversation between him and Mu Rongchen, and she wouldn't have known that he had feelings for her.

She actually didn't dislike Mu Rongchen. She had never been in a relationship before, but every time she faced him approaching, she couldn't control her nervousness and her heartbeat quickened. Maybe this was the feeling of being moved?

"Jingyun, it doesn't matter whether you like it or not. What's important is to find a life that suits you. I don't want to humble myself and be jealous." Lan Rufeng answered Yue Jingyun ambiguously.

"I don't think Prince Rong is the kind of person who is promiscuous. Putting aside your engagement, I can feel that he has fallen in love with Feng'er." Yue Jingyun also hopes that Lan Rufeng will be happy. He would be satisfied just looking at her for the rest of his life. Who made him so unlucky?

"Brother Lan, big brother, the emperor asked Eunuch Zhao to come with the imperial edict." Yue Ling'er's panicked voice rang out in the courtyard, and Lan Meng, who was guarding outside the study, was afraid that she would run too fast and fall.

Yue Jingyun stood up and hurried out. Looking at her flustered sister, she scolded: "Ling'er, girl, pay attention to your image."

After being scolded by her brother, Yue Ling'er pouted and looked at Lan Rufeng who came out. He reached out and pulled her and her brother to the front hall.

As soon as Zhao An saw Yue Jingyun and Lan Rufeng, a smile appeared on his face as if he had seen the God of Wealth, and he smiled and asked Yue Jingyun to accept the order.

Yue Jingyun knelt down to listen to the imperial edict without thinking too much. When he heard that the first part of the imperial edict conferred him the title of Fourth-Rank General of the Central Army, rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold and Ding'an Prefecture, and the second part conferred him with Mu Liangyu in marriage, his mind was thundering. Lan Rufeng's bad mouth, what he just said came true in the blink of an eye.

Yue Jingyang and his sister, Yu Qianqian were also shocked. Lan Qin and the others all stared at Yue Jingyun in shock. The emperor actually wanted to recruit him as his consort. This was so much wealth! Even a basin couldn't hold it.

Zhao An looked at the frightened Yue Jingyun, congratulated him with a smile, and told him to accept the order quickly.

"Eunuch Zhao, will the emperor's grant of marriage...? I ask Eunuch Zhao to take the imperial edict back and tell the emperor that I am willing to serve the country. Please revoke this reward and grant of marriage." Yue Jingyun did not dare to accept the edict. He could not let his life be arranged by the emperor.

"Young Master Yue, disobeying the imperial edict will result in death. Young Master Yue does not want to implicate the young master and young lady, right?" Zhao An's gaze fell on Yue Jingyang and Yue Ling'er. No one can resist what the master wants to do.

"Damn it, do you have any shame, old emperor?" Lan Rufeng couldn't help but curse secretly. Looking at Yue Jingyun on the ground, he said: "Jingyun, the emperor has good intentions, just accept it! From now on, hold on to the emperor's father-in-law's legs tightly and rise straight up."

Zhao An listened to Lan Rufeng's open and secret sarcasm about his master, and realized how bold she was. Thinking of what she had done, his master was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. However, due to the Lan family, he could only tolerate her.

"Brother Jingyun, listen to Brother Lan. We can't waste the emperor's kindness." Yu Qianqian also advised Yue Jingyun to accept the order, so as to prevent the emperor from turning against him.

"Young Master Yue, Princess Liangyu is gentle and virtuous. You will not regret marrying her." Zhao An also persuaded Yue Jingyun that the second princess had a very good temper.

"I accept your order." Yue Jingyun compromised for the sake of his younger brother and sister. It didn't matter if he died, but his younger brother and sister must not be in any harm.

"Congratulations, General Zhonglang. The Emperor has asked you and Young Master Lan to come to the palace tonight to attend the moon-viewing party hosted by the Empress. I will go back to the palace to report the Emperor's order." Zhao An handed over the imperial edict with a smile and asked the palace servants to bring the reward and leave.

Lan San escorted them out of the house. Lan Si, Lan Wu and the maids all gathered in the hall. Looking at Yue Jingyun, they didn't dare to congratulate him. This was a forced marriage and they would be scolded.

"Feng'er, you are the one with the worst mouth." Yue Jingyun was so angry that he threw the imperial edict on the tea table.

"Jingyun, how can you blame me for this? It's obvious that the old emperor has no moral principles. I'm afraid he has been plotting against you for a long time." Lan Rufeng cried out for injustice. The emperor acted too quickly and caught them off guard.

"Brother Jingyun, it's okay." Yu Qianqian comforted Yue Jingyun. She often saw Mu Liangyu around the empress dowager. Mu Liangyu had a gentle personality and was very friendly to the palace people.

"Who did I offend? I got stabbed even when I was lying down?" Yue Jingyun was very angry. When he followed Lan Rufeng, apart from this good-looking face, he was dressed like a servant. How did he offend Mu Liangyu?
