The adopted daughter returns with a new face

Lan Rufeng of "Qiulin Mansion" saw that the emperor asked Zhao An to send a reward of one thousand taels of silver and several pieces of silk because she saved Ouyang Mingtai, but she did not value them. What she valued most was the night pearl.

It was the first time she had seen such a valuable thing, so she asked Zhao An to thank the emperor for his reward on her behalf. She took a piece of silver and stuffed it into Zhao An's pocket. She asked Lan Er to send him out, then turned around and picked up the light green night pearl as big as a pigeon egg in the brocade box and took a closer look.

Everyone looked at their master who turned around and stared at the Night Pearl, looking like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

"Lan Yi, do you think this thing will light up if I put it in the room at night?" Lan Rufeng was a little skeptical. She, a poor woman, had never seen this thing before and had only seen it in books.

"Of course, this pearl is worth a fortune. The emperor is very generous to you, young master." Lan Yi had never expected that the emperor would reward Lan Rufeng with such a valuable thing.

"It seems that the emperor is quite generous." Lan Rufeng smiled and put the beads into the small box, then swept away the white silver ingots and five or six pieces of silk on the table.

"Qin'er, take the silver and keep it in your name. Take these silks to Xiulou and make two sets of clothes for each of them. You can help them make the girls' dresses." After giving the instructions, Lan Rufeng took the box and left.

"Master, this is not right." Lan Qin called out to her master in fear. These silks were not cheap, they were all top quality. Her master actually asked her to help Lan Yi and the others make clothes, and even asked her to save the money.

Lan Rufeng said without even turning his head: "Since the emperor has given it to you, it is your business to decide how to deal with it. Go and do it quickly. I will teach you how to read and write later."

Everyone looked at each other, and couldn't help but be moved and their eyes moistened at the master who had no guard against them at all, completely treating them as family and making no distinction between noble and humble.

Lan Yiyi repeatedly refreshed his understanding of Lan Rufeng. He was a special person. He said he had no temper, but he was extremely ruthless to his enemies.

When Lan Rufeng walked to the garden, Yang Feng jumped down from the wall and walked up to him with a smile: "Master Lan, what good thing did the emperor give you?"

Lan Rufeng looked at Yang Feng. Her back garden had become a place for walking the dog. She told him calmly about the emperor's reward.

"Night Pearl..." Yang Feng exclaimed. There were only two or three of them in the palace. They were so precious. The emperor was so generous to this guy.

"What? General Yang, do you think that the reward I get is not commensurate with the life of Prince Ouyang?" Lan Rufeng raised the box in his hand and looked at Yang Feng with raised eyebrows.

"How can I do that?" How could Yang Feng dare to say no? He looked at Lan Rufeng's arrogant expression and said with a smile: "Mr. Lan, at the court this morning, the emperor was furious because of the assassination of Uncle Feng, and asked the Ministry of Justice to investigate. Prince Lan suddenly proposed to the emperor to cancel the marriage between the little princess and the prince, but the prince disagreed."

While Yang Feng was speaking, he stared at Lan Rufeng without blinking, wanting to see her reaction, but she had a calm face and no expression at all.

"Why doesn't your prince agree? Does he really want to marry the disfigured little princess?" Lan Rufeng looked at Yang Feng calmly, while in his heart he cursed Mu Rongchen's ancestors for eighteen generations.

"How should I know?" Yang Feng pretended to be stupid.

"Prince Rong has a very unique appetite. I think he really wants to marry the little princess. After all, the Lan family should not be underestimated. They are all strong people who guard the country for the emperor. I would be willing to marry her, even if she is a little ugly." Lan Rufeng did not give Mu Rongchen any face, but instead insulted him for being shameless.

Yang Feng rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Master Lan, don't let him hear your words that insult the prince."

"General Yang, what you mean is that I said something wrong?" Lan Rufeng asked with a wry smile.

"I dare not, but the marriage between the prince and the little princess, according to the laws of the Southern Kingdom, the marriage is annulled when the person dies, but the little princess is alive and well, so naturally it cannot be annulled.

Moreover, the prince also said that if the Lan family wanted to cancel the marriage, as long as the little princess agreed, he would let her go to the emperor, and he would have no objection. "Yang Feng smiled and hinted to Lan Rufeng that it depended on what she did.

"What is this trying to do? You are just throwing out bricks to attract jade, hoping to get her to reveal herself. You are such a treacherous and cunning guy, no way." Lan Rufeng secretly scolded Mu Rongchen in his heart, smiled and asked: "General Yang, why are you telling me all this? You'd better not tell me about official affairs, so as not to leak secrets."

"How can an 18-year-old girl be so calm? Yang Feng really admired Lan Rufeng's inner strength and said with a smile: "Look at what Master Lan said. How come you are the one who was ordered by the emperor to follow the prince on tour? Don't I have even this little trust in Master Lan?"

"It is truly an honor for me. I won't say any more. I'll go back to my room to have some rest. I still have to teach our little girls later." Lan Rufeng didn't want to talk to Yang Feng anymore. He waved his hand and asked him to do as he pleased, then walked towards the backyard.

Yang Feng looked at Lan Rufeng who was leaving, with a smile on his face, and jumped back to the palace, humming a little tune as he went to find his master.

Lan Rufeng returned to her room and placed the box under her pillow. She put Hong'er on the bed, patted her head, and then turned around and sat cross-legged on the bed. She didn't take Yang Feng's words seriously.

The bloody storm in Shengjing lasted for two days before it stopped. Mu Rongchen took the opportunity to sweep the capital. Only one person escaped during this sweep.

The emperor issued an order to lift the blockade of the city and withdrew the city defense troops outside the post station. Bai Chuchao and Damuzhen also sent people out at night to gather information. All the spies of the two countries in the capital were eliminated, leaving the two men angry but unable to speak out, and suffered a loss.

Bai Chuchao received news from that person that Feng Xiangyu had his tendons cut off by someone who broke into his mansion in broad daylight. He also said that the matter was related to Dongming Kingdom and that the assassination had been leaked. He couldn't help but worry about Ouyang Mingtai's revenge.

Three days later, the envoys from Beili and Yuqing Kingdom left the capital. Ouyang Mingtai rested for a few days and his injuries were no longer a problem. He asked Yang Shuo to inform Lan Rufeng and Mu Rongchen, as well as Lan Ruyun and Feng Qingge, and invite them to have lunch at Fengxiang Tower.

Mu Rongchen asked Yang Feng to ask Lan Rufeng to keep the appointment. Lan Rufeng did not refuse to go out of the house. When he saw the carriage waiting at the door, he got on the carriage without hesitation, smiled at Mu Rongchen, and sat on his right.

Yang Feng drove the carriage to Fengxiang Tower. Mu Rongchen looked at Lan Rufeng and said calmly, "I am the host. I like to drink. Let me drink enough. I will see how much you can drink."

"Prince Rong, who says that if you like to drink, you must drink enough? If you drink enough once, how can you drink next time?" Lan Rufeng asked with a chuckle.

"To thank you for the peanuts you sent me, I will treat you and satisfy you no matter what." Mu Rongchen stared at the woman who was smiling and asking for trouble.

"Hehe..." Lan Rufeng chuckled: "Prince Rong, I just want to help you get your beautiful girl, why don't you appreciate it?"

Mu Rongchen looked at Lan Rufeng indifferently. What did this woman want to do? She either threatened to divorce him or wanted him to marry another woman. He felt very uncomfortable. He didn't do anything to hurt her, and he didn't know everything. Did she hate him?

"Staring at her again..." Lan Rufeng was speechless. He simply leaned against the wall of the car, closed his eyes and rested, not bothering to pay attention to this gloomy guy.

Mu Rongchen saw Lan Rufeng closing his eyes to rest, and his eyes also felt a little sore. For a moment, the carriage was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Yang Feng, who was driving the carriage outside, heard no sound in the carriage, so he drove to Fengxiang Tower.

As soon as they entered the building, they were invited by the waiter to the elegant pavilion on the third floor. When they came in, they saw Ouyang Mingtai and his sister Lan Ruyun and Feng Qingge were all there.

Feng Qingwu didn't want to come at first, but she couldn't control her desire to see Lan Rufeng, so she followed her eldest brother here. When she saw him, she called him softly and stopped talking.

Mu Rongchen could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with Qingwu and Lan Rufeng, so he signaled Qingge to have people serve wine and food, and brought out the aged Yanyunzui to invite everyone to eat.
