The adopted daughter returns with a new face

Chapter 74: Close Relatives Lead to Silence

Mu Rongchen saw Lan Rufeng's dissatisfaction and asked, "When did Senior Luo accept you as his adopted son?"

"Prince Rong, aren't you asking this knowingly? I don't believe it. Prince Rong didn't ask anyone to investigate me. I'm afraid even my ancestral graves have been dug up?" Lan Rufeng asked back with a smile. Feng Lei wasn't here, so didn't he go to investigate her? Maybe Dingyu County had someone investigate too.

"Mr. Lan, this is serious. The prince will never allow anyone to dig up your ancestral grave." Yang Feng said with a smile.

Lan Rufeng rolled her eyes at Yang Feng again. Since they were investigating her, and she came to test him, it only meant that they had found out, but they couldn't prove that she was Liang Ziyu. Her face was the best proof. Even if they knew that she was Liang Ziyu, what would it matter? Even if they knew that she had killed everyone, what would it matter? If she was really afraid, she wouldn't show off in front of them.

Yang Feng always gets the cold shoulder from Lan Rufeng. No one else can compare to him. This guy is too arrogant. She will cry when she finds the evidence.

The Queen Mother of "Fu Shou Palace" looked at her grandchildren and couldn't help but think of her two deceased daughters, one of whom was killed in prison for murdering Liang Ziyu, and the other died of dystocia during childbirth of Qingwu. Feng Xiangyu therefore disliked her granddaughter, which made her feel bad, so she waved her granddaughter to come forward and hold her hand.

"Girl, it's been more than ten years. Grandma knows that you are the most aggrieved. I don't blame you. Don't take it to heart. Just live the life you want happily." The Queen Mother comforted her granddaughter.

"Grandma, thank you!" Feng Qingwu looked at her grandmother and couldn't help but tears up in her eyes. Her mother's death was the pain of her life.

"Don't worry about your father, just follow your brother. If you have any problems, go to the palace to find grandmother. She will make the decision for you." The empress dowager felt distressed when she saw her granddaughter with red eyes.

"Grandmother, I like Brother Lan. Can you help Qingwu?" Feng Qingwu said frankly that she liked Lan Rufeng, which startled the emperor and he said, "Qingwu, you can't like her. She likes men. The emperor's uncle will help you find a good man to marry."

"Uncle Royal, Brother Lan must be lying. Qingwu doesn't believe it." Feng Qingwu didn't believe it. She thought Lan Rufeng must be saying that because of his cousin and father.

"Grandmother, half of Young Master Lan's face is very handsome, but I wonder if the other half is not as good-looking as he said?" Mu Liangyu was a little skeptical.

"What Liang Yu said is true. Only Prince Rong has seen half of Master Lan's face. If the other half is really...! Miss Feng will probably regret it." The Queen also advised Feng Qingwu not to act rashly or regret it in the future.

The emperor looked at the empress and his daughter trying to persuade his niece, and said, "Didn't Master Lan just say that her face was injured by the fire bomb she developed? Qingwu should be obedient."

"Your Majesty, apart from his good looks, Young Master Lan is actually quite talented. He looks very elegant in his plain clothes. It would be best if he could serve as an official in the court." The Queen hinted to the Emperor that it would be best to tie him down to his son.

"If she doesn't want to, I can't force her. She is willing to travel with Prince Rong and the Crown Prince, so the Crown Prince should learn from others' strengths." How could the emperor force Lan Rufeng to be an official? She was a girl, so she could only instruct her son.

"Your son will follow your father's teachings." The prince agreed. He was willing to learn from others' strengths and make up for his own shortcomings.

"Grandma, Brother Lan is a martial arts expert and a great doctor. Qingwu doesn't care about his appearance, she just likes him as a person. Please, grandma, make the decision for Qingwu! Otherwise, Chen Siyao will snatch Brother Lan away from Qingwu." Feng Qingwu wanted Lan Rufeng, no matter how he looked.

"Okay, girl, you have to ask the person involved for his opinion. Besides, we don't even know where he is from, so we have to find out first." The empress dowager advised her granddaughter to find out Lan Rufeng's identity first.

"Grandmother, my uncle has checked the household registration at the Ministry of Household Registration, and he is indeed from the Lan family of Zhuozhou City. His background and age all match." Mu Liangcheng said this to prevent everyone from being suspicious of Lan Rufeng.

"Since he is from Zhuozhou, didn't he say he likes men? It's hard to tell whether this is true or not. Let's not talk about Master Lan for now. Girl, take your time and figure it out later." The Queen Mother didn't like to talk about others behind their backs. She didn't know whether he really liked men or not. She couldn't harm her granddaughter.

Lan Ruyu listened quietly, and everyone wondered if Lan Rufeng liked men's love and looked at her husband. Mu Liangcheng received his wife's gaze and smiled at her.

Liang Zichu was also listening quietly. He and Xiao Hua had visited Lan Rufeng and had not seen even half of his face under the mask, but his intuition told him that there was definitely something wrong with Lan Rufeng.

"Ah! Eleven is not a child anymore, and this girl hides away from her parents and brothers and sisters. I am already sixty years old, and I don't know when I can see Eleven surrounded by children. Emperor, why don't you watch and marry two concubines for Eleven first." The empress dowager sighed and instructed the emperor.

"Mother, I will ask Eleventh tomorrow if he has someone he likes. If he does, it will be easy. If not, I see that Miss Enyu from Prime Minister Chu's family is interested in Eleventh, so how about I help him arrange a marriage?" the emperor asked with a smile.

"That's fine. Let Eleven marry two more wives so that the royal family can be expanded as soon as possible." The Queen Mother did not stop her. Her son knew better than her how to balance the power in the court.

"Then your Majesty, please talk to Qingge and the others. I will be busy now." The emperor stood up and left.

"I'm afraid the marriage between Zichu and the girl from the Li family will have to be postponed because of this family change." The Queen Mother said to her grandson.

"Grandma, actually! Actually...!" Feng Qingwu looked at her grandmother and hesitated to speak, afraid of saying the wrong thing and getting scolded.

The Queen Mother looked at her hesitant granddaughter and asked, "Girl, do you have anything to say?"

"Grandma, actually Brother Zichu also knows. Brother Lan is a doctor. The first time my uncle went to invite him to our house, when he was treating Zi Han, he told my uncle that close relatives should not marry because it would be bad for the next generation. Because of this, my uncle even had a fight with Brother Lan." Feng Qingwu gritted her teeth and said it.

The Queen Mother and everyone looked at her in surprise. When Liang Zichu heard Qingwu mention this, he felt a little embarrassed and said, "Grandmother, I do know about this."

"Qingwu, please explain yourself more clearly. Why does Master Lan say that close relatives should not marry each other?" the Queen asked anxiously.

Feng Qingwu repeated Lan Rufeng's original words in one breath. Why could she remember them so clearly? It was because she didn't want to marry King Mo, so she remembered them firmly.

Except for Liang Zichu, the Queen Mother and everyone else were all shocked and silent, thinking about the things that happened when close relatives got married and gave birth to children. Wasn't there a lack of them in the capital? Of course, most of them survived.

The empress dowager couldn't help but think of her son and the queen. Among the children born to Qingyue, some had defects, and they were all secretly dealt with. The only ones who survived healthily were these grandchildren.

Feng Qingge saw that her sister's words frightened her grandmother and everyone else. For a moment, she didn't know whether it was true or not, and her eyes were full of blame when she looked at her sister.

The queen was shocked. She and the emperor had a son who was born without ears. She was afraid that it would be detrimental to her and the royal family if others knew about it, so she dealt with him secretly.

Feng Qingyue gave birth to a daughter as her first child, who was also born with a defective leg. Later, she gave birth to a son whose face looked like a monster and almost scared people to death. Someone also dealt with him secretly. These things were taboos in the royal family, and no one dared to discuss them. It would be strange if they were not shocked to hear Feng Qingwu's words.
