The adopted daughter returns with a new face

When Mu Rongchen came over, he asked Yang Feng to knock on the door. Everyone in the mansion who was studying with Lan Yi stopped when they heard the sound.

Lan Er ran to open the door, and when he saw General Yang and Prince Rong, he quickly greeted them.

"Where is your young master? I have something to discuss with her." Mu Rongchen asked as he walked inside.

"Your Highness, my young master is not here." Lan Er answered and led the two people in.

"Greetings, Prince Rong and General Yang." When everyone saw the two people coming into the hall, they bowed and saluted politely.

"Where is she going?" Mu Rongchen asked calmly while looking at the pens, ink, paper, and books on the table, then walked straight to the main seat and sat down.

"Your Highness, the young master said he had something to do and went out a few days ago. He said he would be back in the next two days." Lan Qin reported truthfully.

"She didn't tell you what she was going to do?" Yang Feng asked.

"Replying to General Yang, the young master didn't say anything, only the date of return." Lan Qin reported again.

"When did she go out?" Mu Rongchen asked indifferently.

"Your Highness, the young master went out early in the morning on the twelfth day." Lan Er replied.

Mu Rongchen heard that Lan Rufeng left on the third day after the fight with him. Today was already the seventh day, so he didn't ask any more questions and got up and left with Yang Feng.

Lan Er escorted them out of the mansion. He closed the door and went back to the hall only after he saw them return. Everyone continued to learn from Lan Yi and no one thought much about what Prince Rong wanted to see their master for.

"Your Highness, she has been away for six or seven days. What did it take so long for her to do?" Yang Feng was very suspicious.

"Let's see if she comes back today." Mu Rongchen was also very curious about where this woman had gone. She hadn't returned for so many days.

Lan Rufeng was actually having a headache. Her period was coming, and she was afraid that someone would discover her secret, so she had to run away and hide. She also took the opportunity to go out of town to find some herbs. But what gave her a bigger headache was that when she went out with Mu Rongchen, she could only take medicine to suppress it in order to prevent the secret from being exposed, but this was not a long-term solution.

Who knows how long the trip will take? She was irritable and had a headache. She had to wear men's clothes and bind her chest every day, and she almost forgot that she was a woman. March 18th was coming, and the Queen Mother's birthday was coming.

After having lunch and taking a nap, I woke up at three or four o'clock. I packed up, changed into men's clothes, got rid of the two sets of women's clothes I had been wearing for the past few days, took a painting I had painted recently and some medicinal herbs, and checked out of the room while fanning myself.

"Qiulin Mansion" Lan Rufeng came back and pushed the door open. Everyone heard the sound and ran out. Seeing their master coming back, they were so happy that they ran to him.

"So enthusiastic?" Lan Rufeng smiled at everyone and let Lan Shi take the painting tube and herb bag in her hands, and walked into the hall fanning herself.

Lan Qin followed her master and whispered, "Sir, Prince Rong and General Yang came to see you this morning."

Lan Rufeng heard that Mu Rongchen and Yang Feng were looking for her, so she stopped and asked: "What do they want to see me for?"

"I didn't say anything. I just asked you when you went out and then left." Lan Qin replied.

"Then just ignore them. Have you retrieved the curtains and rods? If so, we will install them." Lan Rufeng ignored Mu Rongchen and the others who were looking for her and went straight to the backyard.

Lan Qin told Lan Er and Lan San to quickly get the tools, asked Lan Si and Lan Wu to watch in the front yard, and asked Lan Xia, Lan Qiu and Lan Dong to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner. She, Lan Yi, Lan Shi and Lan Meng followed her master to the backyard.

The secret guard of the palace was in the flower shop. He saw Lan Rufeng coming back from afar, so he quickly climbed down the wall and ran to the south courtyard to report to his master.

When Mu Rongchen heard that Lan Rufeng had returned, he told the secret guards not to keep an eye on him and waved his hand for him to leave.

"Your Highness, I'll go take a look." Yang Feng ran out, ran to the flower shop, jumped onto the courtyard wall and shouted: "Master Lan, the prince asked me to ask you, have you prepared a birthday gift for the Queen Mother's birthday?"

Lan Rufeng heard Yang Feng's voice and asked Lan Yi and Lan Er to install the curtains. Then he went out and walked towards the garden. Seeing Yang Feng sitting on the wall, he smiled and said, "It's the Queen Mother's birthday. I'm just a commoner. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to go, right?"

"The prince accompanied the queen mother out of the city to pray for blessings. The queen mother also specifically told the prince that she wanted to meet you and asked you to go to the palace to attend her birthday. But when I came to your house to inform you this morning, your maid said that you had gone out for something a few days ago. Where did Master Lan go?" Yang Feng asked with a series of lies.

Lan Rufeng didn't believe Yang Feng's lies and replied, "I didn't go anywhere. I just went out of the city to look for some medicinal herbs."

"What herbs are you looking for? Have you found them?" Yang Feng didn't know whether this guy's question was true or false.

"It's hard work to find the Stretching Grass, and there will be rewards in the end." Lan Rufeng said with a smile. She was sure that these guys had turned her house upside down during the few days she hadn't seen them.

"What the hell is Stretching Muscle Grass?" Yang Feng didn't know medicine, so naturally he had never heard of it. He thought to himself and asked, "What is Master Lan looking for this herb for?"

"Of course it is useful. If it is not useful, there is no need for me to bother, right?" Lan Rufeng replied, "General Yang, I have never given a gift before, so I don't know what is appropriate. How about giving me some advice?"

"Pretend, you better pretend. When I find evidence, I'll see how you can still pretend." Yang Feng was upset in his heart, but he smiled and said, "The Queen Mother particularly likes calligraphy, painting and music. Master Lan plays this music well and the pipa well. If it doesn't work, you can play a song for him when the time comes."

"General Yang is joking. It's the Empress Dowager's birthday and many girls are vying to dance and sing songs. Why should I join in the fun?" Lan Rufeng chuckled.

"You can't say that. How about asking the prince to prepare a birthday gift for you?" Yang Feng suggested with a smile.

"That's not necessary. I'll think of a solution myself." Lan Rufeng refused, waved his hand and turned away.

Yang Feng watched Lan Rufeng go back to his room, then he turned around and jumped off the wall. This guy had a harmless smile on his face, but he was merciless when he attacked his master. The more he watched him, the more he wanted to beat him up.

During dinner, Lan Rufeng went to the kitchen to see the dishes everyone was eating. Seeing that they were prepared according to her instructions, she went back to her room to eat with satisfaction. After dinner, she took a shower, closed the door, and sat in the room reading a book. Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"Lan Yi..." Lan Yi responded at the door.

"Come in!" Lan Rufeng's voice rang out. Lan Yi pushed the door open and walked in, and saw Lan Rufeng sitting at the table reading a book.

"Have you thought about it?" Lan Rufeng asked, put down the book in his hand and looked up at Lan Yi.

Lan Yi looked at Lan Rufeng in front of him, nodded calmly, walked to the table and said: "I am not a heinous person, but my family was framed and ended up here."

"So, you're not a good person either?" Lan Rufeng asked with a smile.

"Once you are in the world, you have no choice but to do what you want. How can you tell good from bad? There is no perfect person in the world. If you don't want to die, you can only live desperately." Lan has always said.

"If you don't want to die, you have to live desperately." Lan Rufeng was touched by Lan Yi's words. It was just like when she left Beijing, she didn't kill anyone, but others wanted her life. Living in this backward era, she really had no choice but to live desperately.

"What's your name?" Lan Rufeng wanted to know Lan Yi's real name.

"Since you have given me a name, I will be called Lan Yi. The old me is dead." Lan Yi didn't want Lan Rufeng to know his past.

"Forget it, if you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. Everyone has their own privacy." Lan Rufeng didn't force Lan Yi. He stood up and walked to the cabinet beside him. He took the bag of medicine he had collected and threw it to him, motioning him to follow him out to the study room next door.

She asked him to grind ink, picked up a pen and wrote two prescriptions for him, saying: "This prescription is for drinking. Tomorrow morning, ask Qin'er to give you money to buy one dose to drink, and one to boil into a medicinal soup and pour into the bathtub. I will give you acupuncture. Remember to add three or four sprigs of this herb to the medicine you drink. Go back and rest."

Lan Yi nodded and took the medicine bag out of the study. He couldn't help but look back at Lan Rufeng in the study. Only then did he realize that he went out to help him collect herbs. His heart seemed to be touched, and he took the medicine bag and went to the back room.
