Entering the Marquis' Mansion, Lan Kexin sensitively sensed a depressing atmosphere in the mansion.

The expression on everyone's face was wrong.

They all looked at her secretly with strange eyes.

But no one dared to step forward and ask.

Thinking of Lan Weiwei, Lan Kexin simply ignored the expressions on their faces.

Walk straight towards Wutong Garden.

"Girl! Girl! You're finally back."

Chunzhu ran towards her hurriedly, with an anxious and worried look on his face.

"Miss, are you okay? Are the people in the Princess's Mansion treating you well?"

As she spoke, she looked Lan Kexin up and down.

Chunzhu was the little maidservant of the original owner.

She was also a little maid that the old lady bought for her from outside after she returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

Seeing that Lan Kexin didn't say anything, Chunzhu hurriedly explained:

"My lady, ever since you were punished and imprisoned in the family temple, the old lady has sent me to the farm to do rough labor. I don't know why they hurriedly brought me back today.

It was only after returning to the mansion that I learned about what had happened in the past few days."

When Chunzhu said this, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"Girl, why can't you just be patient? You've endured it for two years. Now you're 15. Once you get married, you won't have to endure their gazes anymore. Why bother? Your marriage is still in their hands!"

Lan Kexin glanced at Chunzhu.

"These are the words they told you."

Chunzhu shook his head hurriedly:

"No, young lady, this is what I really think."

Lan Kexin said nothing more and walked forward alone.

Chun Zhu hurriedly blocked her way: "Girl!"

"What are you going to do?" Lan Kexin's eyes turned cold.

When Chunzhu received Lan Kexin's cold gaze, her neck subconsciously shrank.

"Miss, there's a message from Wanxiangyuan asking you to come over."

Sure enough, nothing good will happen when returning to the Marquis' Mansion.

"Did they say anything was wrong?"

Chunzhu looked worried: "The second young lady came back to the Marquis' Mansion crying, and then ran to Wanxiang Courtyard crying. The old lady is very angry at the moment! Young lady, you have to be careful."

"Is that all?" Lan Kexin asked, "Are there any other things after you come back?"

The two walked to the garden together.

Chunzhu looked around and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

“As soon as I returned to the mansion, the old lady summoned me and asked what the young lady was like in private.”

There was no sign of dodging on her face.

Lan Kexin asked with a smile: "Oh! You didn't tell them these things before?"

What did Chunzhu realize immediately?

Usually the girls were indifferent and didn't ask these questions.

He also gave her all the important matters.

Especially when it comes to money, he never asks about it or lets anyone do as they please.

She thought the girl believed her, but unexpectedly, deep down in the girl's heart, she was still the old lady's.

Chunzhu hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Lan Kexin:

"Miss, although I was bought by the old lady, I have been loyal to you for the past two years and have never crossed the line. Please trust me."

Lan Kexin didn't say whether she believed it or not.

He asked calmly, "How do you usually reply to the old lady?"

Chunzhu reported truthfully: "They all said things like, 'Miss is fine, Miss is obedient, Miss is very docile, Miss slept well tonight.' Apart from these, I didn't say anything else."

Lan Kexin just nodded lightly and didn't say anything else.

She believed these to be true.

Because, in the past two years, the original owner has done nothing else.

Right now, she needs someone to help take care of her daily life.

In Wanxiang Courtyard.

The old lady comforted Lan Weiwei with utmost tenderness.

"Wei'er, don't cry. Your crying makes your grandmother sad."

"Wow, wow, wow... Grandma, I'm just sad. Why did my sister treat me like that?"

"She's an ungrateful person. Why bother with her? When she comes back, I'll give her a good scolding for you. Okay?"

"Grandma, what will others think of me after something like this happens?"

Thinking of their eyes just now, Lan Weiwei felt even sadder.

The old lady was so distressed that she gave Lan Weiwei a promise.

"Okay, as long as you don't cry, grandma will ask her to apologize to you in front of everyone. Is that okay?"

"How could she possibly apologize to me now? Wei'er doesn't even dare to think about it. She just wants to have a good cry and calm herself down."

Lan Kexin listened to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson outside the door.

What a deep love between grandparents and grandchildren.

Without the need for the maid to report, she directly lifted the curtain and walked in.

When they saw the person coming in, all the sounds in the room stopped abruptly.

Lan Kexin raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect that it could also stop crying.

She was a gentle and kind old lady just now.

The moment Lan Kexin appeared, her face immediately became gloomy and terrifying.

"You still have the nerve to come back."

Lan Kexin, who had just stepped one leg over the threshold, quickly withdrew her foot when she heard this.

"Since you won't come back to me, it's just right. I'll come back to pack my things and get out immediately."

The old lady was choked again and slammed her hand on the table.

"Is there anything in this house that belongs to you?"

Yes, nothing is hers.

Thinking of the herbs planted by the original owner.

She smiled and replied to the old lady: "I don't have anything else, but I planted those herbs myself, so I must take them away. You won't stop me, right?"

Seeing that Lan Kexin was still determined to leave the old lady, he roared:

"Stop her."

How could I let her leave at this time!

Although the old lady was so angry that she was confused, she did not forget the palace banquet two days later.

It was the Empress Dowager who specifically asked her to enter the palace.

Unexpectedly, it was just a coming-of-age ceremony.

It will attract the attention of the nobles in the palace.

If this thing didn't exist, she could go wherever she wanted.

Now, even if I have to force her, I will keep her in the mansion.

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

But his eyes fell on Lan Weiwei.

Looking at Lan Kexin with such a tough attitude.

The old lady didn't dare to use force to make her apologize to Lan Weiwei.

What if she leaves again in anger?

If you don't attend the palace banquet, the Queen Mother will still take action against the Marquis's Mansion.

The Marquis' Mansion could not withstand the Queen Mother's wrath.

Now I can only bear with it for a while.

"I'm calling you here for no other reason than to attend the palace banquet in two days. Your mother has already prepared a dress and jewelry for you. Go and try them on. If you have any dissatisfaction, just tell your mother."

Lan Kexin raised her eyebrows. This was something she had not expected. The original owner had never enjoyed such good treatment.

But come to think of it, it's impossible for her to attend a palace banquet dressed so poorly.

That way, others will just laugh at the Marquis' Mansion.

After leaving for a night, Lan Kexin thought about the coming-of-age gift.

The things that the Marquis's wife prepared for her were definitely not as valuable as those things.

She smiled and declined the old lady's kindness.

"Forget about helping me prepare the headdress. Just pick out any of the coming-of-age gifts."

Lan Kexin looked at Chunzhu beside her and said, "Chunzhu, please help me pick one."

Chun Zhu was puzzled: "Miss, where can I choose?"

"Wutongyuan! Don't you have any jewelry?"
