After breakfast the next day, everyone went about their own business. Jun Yanqing also returned to the army with Lan Jinghong.

Lan Xiyue took a shoulder bag and followed Lan Jinwei and Deng Lanxiang to Deng's house.

The old man of the Deng family held a high position and had four sons and one daughter in his life.

During the Anti-Japanese War, three of his four sons died, leaving only the youngest son, Deng Lanjin, who was also injured more than a decade ago and is now confined to a wheelchair.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a political struggle, and someone wants to ensure that the Deng family has no successor.

Over the years, Mr. Deng has devoted all his efforts to training his son-in-law, Lan Jinsong, hoping that he would take over his position. Lan Jinsong also lived up to his expectations. In his forties, he entered the political center and firmly held the fifth position.

It’s not that no one has tried to take action against the Lan family, it’s just that the Lan family is relatively united and there are few handles against them.

Eighteen years ago, Lan Xiyue was kidnapped. Li Ling alone was not capable of that. Someone must have been behind the kidnapping. But Lan Xiyue was lucky enough to survive.

This was also thanks to Lan Xiyue's adoptive parents, who took Lan Xiyue away by mistake. So when Lan Xiyue came here, she just cut off her relationship with them. She didn't take revenge on them. Although they treated Lan Xiyue badly, at least they let her live.

The Lan family and the Deng family are relatives, and now Lan Jinsong and Lan Jinwei are growing up very fast. In recent years, some people have become restless and have caused trouble for the Lan family from time to time.

The most active ones were the Li family, who mostly caused trouble for the Lan family. The Deng family was much calmer, perhaps because they felt that the Deng family was not a concern. But was that really the case? Not necessarily.

The Deng family lives in a courtyard house halfway up the mountain. The scenery is nice and suitable for recuperation.

Lan Xiyue and the others met Deng Lanjin beside a lotus pond.

Deng Lanjin in front of me is a handsome man with a picture-like face. He sits quietly in a wheelchair with a blanket on his legs. He is quiet and elegant, as if he blends in with everything around him.

He is different from Lan Jinwei. Although Lan Jinwei looks elegant and noble, he has a fierce aura and a slightly sharp and domineering temperament, which weakens his androgynous appearance.

Deng Lanjin, however, was as indifferent as snow, calm and natural, like a banished immortal, and lived in harmony with the world.

I heard footsteps and turned around to see Lan Jinwei and Deng Lanxiang.

She said, "What happened today? Why are you here with A Wei?"

Not too enthusiastic, but not too cold either.

When he saw Lan Xiyue following Lan Jinwei, he smiled and said, "Is this Awei's daughter? I didn't expect Awei's daughter to be so beautiful. She looks a lot like Awei."

The man's voice was as clear as spring water falling on a jade plate, and as clean as him and as bright as the moon.

Lan Jinwei said proudly, "Of course, don't you see whose daughter this is?"

Deng Lanjin chuckled, "Yes, as beautiful as you."

When Lan Jinwei heard Deng Lanjin say that he was beautiful again, his face suddenly darkened.

"Deng Lanjin, I've told you so many times not to call me pretty."

Deng Lanxiang looked at the two helplessly, "Alright, you two. Aren't you afraid that Xiyue will laugh at you? You are almost forty years old, and you are still bickering like children."

After that, Deng Lanxiang pulled Lan Xiyue over and introduced her, "Xiyue, this is my younger brother Deng Lanjin, who is also your dad's childhood friend. You can call him uncle from now on."

Lan Xiyue hurriedly greeted Deng Lanjin, "Hello, Uncle Lanjin."

"Yeah, well, the little girl is much cuter than your dad."

"Okay, you two stop messing around and get down to business."

Deng Lanjin looked at Deng Lanxiang and asked, "Sister, is there anything else you guys need today?"

Deng Lanxiang looked at Lan Jinwei, and Lan Jinwei said seriously, "Ah Jin, the reason I brought Xiaoyue here today is to let her show you her legs."

"Don't be so hasty to refuse. I understand what you mean. You have long given up any hope, but Xiaoyue'er is different. She is the only disciple of the master of the Immortal Doctor Sect. If I am not sure, I will not rashly bring Xiaoyue'er here."

"You should know the Immortal Doctor Sect, right? They are not only doctors, they are also monks."

Deng Lanxiang also advised, "Lanjin, why don't we let Xiyue give it a try? Look at me, am I a dozen years younger? I became like this because I took a pill Xiyue gave me."

Deng Lanjin looked at Deng Lanxiang's face and found that she looked much younger.

Deng Lanjin looked at Lan Jinwei and Deng Lanxiang's expectant eyes and said helplessly, "Sister, I'll let Xiyue take a look."
