The adopted daughter returns with a new face

Chapter 52 Entering the Lan Mansion Again

As soon as Lan Rufeng arrived at the Lan Mansion, she saw Zhong Yan waiting for her at the door from a distance and felt flattered.

"Young Master Lan..." Zhong Yan called out and stepped forward, reaching out to help Lan Rufeng take the bag and sword.

"General Zhong is too polite. It makes it difficult for me to refuse your kindness." Lan Rufeng teased Zhong Yan with a smile.

"Mr. Lan, you are joking. Please come in. The princess and the others are waiting for you in the hall." Zhong Yan said with a smile.

Lan Rufeng nodded slightly and walked into the mansion. When she saw the housekeeper, Lin Chengdong, and the maids and servants standing on both sides of the yard, she was speechless.

"Welcome, Master Lan." Lin Chengdong and the maids and servants greeted Lan Rufeng in unison.

"Butler Lin, I'm so flattered by you!" Lan Rufeng said with a smile, making her wave and greet everyone as if she was walking on the red carpet.

"Mr. Lan, you are joking. Please come in." Lin Chengdong smiled and invited Lan Rufeng into the hall.

"Mr. Lan..." Lin Ruyan was very happy to see Lan Rufeng and stood up and walked towards him. She couldn't stop smiling at him.

"Is the princess okay?" Lan Rufeng looked at Lin Ruyan, who was smiling in front of him, with concern.

"I'm fine, come and sit down!" Lin Ruyan responded and gestured to Lan Rufeng to sit down.

"Is the princess pregnant?" Lan Rufeng took a look at Mu Liangyan's belly, noticing some changes, and asked with a smile, then sat down.

"Mr. Lan is worthy of being a doctor. You can tell that I'm pregnant even though I haven't even shown any signs of pregnancy yet." Mu Liangyan was a little surprised that this guy had such a sharp eye.

"Princess, please forgive me for making you laugh. This is a doctor's instinct. Congratulations to the princess and Prince Lan, and congratulations to the princess on becoming a grandmother." Lan Rufeng congratulated with a smile, feeling genuinely happy that she was going to be an aunt too.

"Thank you, Mr. Lan. I'm glad you can come and stay at my house." Lin Ruyan was delighted. She was really happy to see Lan Rufeng again.

"I really don't want to come and disturb the princess, but General Yang came to me and said that the emperor asked me to follow the prince and the crown prince to suppress the bandits. I also heard from the prince that the princess was in a bad mood because of the little princess's matter, so I came to disturb her. I hope the princess can forgive me." Lan Rufeng really didn't want to come, but he couldn't refuse the kindness.

"I'm so glad you can come. They all said Feng'er is still alive, but Ruyun can't find her, and Feng'er doesn't come back to see me." Lin Ruyan's eyes turned red as she spoke.

"Princess, don't be sad. Since the little princess is alive, she will come back to see you sooner or later. I just don't know what the little princess's situation is?" Lan Rufeng asked deliberately to comfort Lin Ruyan.

"I'm sure Master Lan knows what happened in the Liang Mansion. Liang Ziyu, the youngest daughter of the Liang family, is not the Liang family's biological daughter, but our lost sister. She was stolen by the Liang Mansion to continue the fate of Concubine Liang. She was also promised to Prince Rong.

Three years ago, he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors. When he returned to Beijing, he was assassinated by Concubine Liang. His life or death is still unknown. A few days ago, the eldest princess suddenly went crazy and said that the second young lady was Feng'er. Duke Liang and the eldest princess were imprisoned by the emperor and poisoned to death in prison.

A series of events happened in the capital, and everyone suspected that Feng'er had returned, but I couldn't find her. My mother also looked forward to Feng'er's return day and night, but she never came back. "Lan Ruyun told Lan Rufeng what happened.

"Oh! No wonder I went to see Prince Rong last night. General Yang said that the emperor ordered him to be beaten with fifty sticks. It turned out that Concubine Liang actually killed the little princess. I think Prince Rong was implicated. No wonder he was not happy to see me." Lan Rufeng said, pretending to be enlightened.

"How can Prince Rong be happy? Concubine Liang is his niece." Lin Ruyan said unhappily.

"If that's true, Prince Rong is in good health, and the emperor did not wrongly beat him with fifty sticks. The emperor is also a rare wise and holy monarch. Only when a monarch maintains his virtues in the world can he gather the hearts of the people." Lan Rufeng smiled and praised the emperor. He knew better than anyone that the beatings of Mu Rongchen and Liang Zichu were all due to Feng Xiangyu and Mu Liangfeng.

Mu Liangyan listened to Lan Rufeng belittling the emperor's uncle while praising his father, and asked speechlessly: "I wonder why Master Lan came to the capital this time?"

"The princess and Prince Rong are really uncle and nephew. They asked the same question. When Prince Rong asked me, I said I missed him, but he didn't believe me. Oh! I treated him as a friend, but he didn't appreciate it.

Prince Lan and Princess Nan'an are the best. When they heard that I was coming, they let me stay in their house for free, and they like me so much. They treat me better than my parents." Lan Rufeng pretended to be sad and said.

"This guy talks a lot but not a single serious word." Mu Liangyan couldn't help but secretly feel bad for Lan Rufeng.

"Lin Ruyan smiled and said, "Mr. Lan, I'm glad you don't mind. I feel like I've known you for a long time. I treat you like my own child, just like Ruyun."

"Thank you, Princess! It is my great honor to meet you." Lan Rufeng smiled tenderly. The original owner's mother and brother were right in front of her, but she didn't dare to recognize them.

Lin Ruyan nodded happily and told the maid: "Xiaoyue, go ask the butler to serve the meal. After the meal, let Master Lan have a good rest."

Xiaoyue nodded and left. Lan Ruyun called Lan Rufeng to the dining table, helped his wife and mother to sit down, and waited for the kitchen to serve wine and food for lunch.

When Mu Rongchen of "Prince Rong's Mansion" heard that Yang Feng made the decision on his own and nominated Lan Rufeng to go with him to suppress the bandits, he was a little angry, but he did not say that Yang Feng was reckless.

"Your Highness, Young Master Lan is really shameless! His lying skills are thicker than the city walls at the border." Yang Feng cursed.

Mu Rongchen said angrily: "She has no shame, why do you bother about her? Just watch her act."

"That's true, but if we don't figure out her identity, it will be even more troublesome if she causes trouble." Yang Feng was a little worried.

"Prince Mo and Uncle Feng will definitely take some action, so have people keep a close eye on them." Mu Rongchen explained that people like his brother-in-law and Liang Feng would take advantage of any opportunity to deal with Lan Rufeng.

"Master Lan is so smart, he must have anticipated that there is only one road leading up Mt. Tengchong, which is full of traps and mechanisms, making it as difficult as climbing to heaven. There is also a bare cliff behind the mountain. I'm really worried about them." Yang Feng was really a little worried for everyone that it would be difficult to suppress these bandits.

"It's ok to let them go and gain some experience. I will deal with it myself after I recover from my injury. This will prevent these arrogant people from thinking that there is no one in the court." After Mu Rongchen finished speaking, he waved his hand to let Yang Feng go. He just didn't want to worry about everything. He had to give others a chance.

Yang Feng nodded. The master did not ask for permission to attack this bandit nest, but he was too lazy to take them seriously and wanted to give other people in the court a chance to grow. Who knew they would become increasingly rampant. The emperor sent General Li to go, but he lost a lot of soldiers and generals. The emperor took it seriously and wanted to eliminate them. If the master didn't get beaten, he would have to go in person, and this bandit nest would be in trouble.

After Lan Rufeng of the "Lan Mansion" took a rest, he drew a blueprint and gave it to Chen Er to tell Lan Ruyun to help her make the things on the blueprint, and then help her prepare the map of Tengchong Mountain and gunpowder. He then asked Zhong Yan to go out of the mansion to buy things.

When Lan Ruyun heard Lan Rufeng asking him to prepare gunpowder, he looked at the fist-sized, round iron lump on the blueprint, which looked a bit like a cannon. He ordered Jinshu to take it to the Ministry of War and have them speed up the production, and then asked the Ministry of War to prepare the gunpowder he wanted.

Zhong Yan was speechless following Lan Rufeng. He took things and asked him to pay. No wonder he was called. It turned out that he was just a follower who paid the bill and carried things. After all, he was also a general under the King of Nan'an. How could he live like a man if the news got out? But who made him so loved by the princess!

How could Lan Rufeng have the money to buy things? She spent some of the two thousand taels she earned before the New Year, gave a few hundred taels to the old man when she returned to the Divine Doctor Valley, and gave the remaining one thousand taels to Yang Duan. Now she only had a little change left, which was only enough for her to eat and drink. Of course, she couldn't buy things with her own money.
