The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

"What good solution can we have for this kind of thing? We can only ask the old lady to step in."

"Old Madam? I don't think she's any good. Don't we know that woman Yu all these years? She seems to respect the Old Madam very much, but in fact, she is just a hypocrite.

As for our old lady, has she ever really taken her seriously? "

"Otherwise, let's let the men in our family go to see the Marquis. It won't be wrong to let the Marquis come forward."

The two looked at each other and thought this was feasible.

Now the Third and Fourth Masters both hold official positions, and their behavior is very different from before. Although their official positions are very low, the mental outlook of the two men is very different.

This is because the eldest daughter has the advantage of marrying into the royal family. Her family members don’t have to think about it or use connections, and the official position will come to her automatically.

Haha, how could they know that all these things were done by Gu Changan in private. The purpose of his doing this was that he didn't want Qin Wenlan to be without anyone to rely on in the future.

Regardless of the other people in the Qin Hou Mansion, the third and fourth rooms are okay. After all, if there are any changes in the future, it won’t be difficult to deal with them.

What's more, using them is much more beneficial than using some strangers. As the saying goes, one hero makes three helpers, and strength lies in numbers.

Don't underestimate these insignificant positions. Sometimes, being a small person is much more convenient than being in many important positions.

After returning, the third and fourth wives each told their husbands what had happened. The third and fourth masters, two brothers, gathered together to discuss the matter in detail.

——

Qin Wenlan sat in the study, quietly flipping through a medical book, and was not disturbed by anything happening outside.

It was at this time that Han Song entered Fanrongyuan with an excited look on his face.

"Brother Han, you look so happy. Is there something happy happening again?" Lihua asked.

"Well, you are right. I came here because I have good news to tell our master." Han Song responded with a smile.

"What kind of good news is it that makes Brother Han so happy?" Lihua asked with a smile as she looked at Han Song.

"The prince and his army are about to arrive in the capital."

"Really?"

Han Song nodded quickly, "Of course it's true, how could I lie about something like this."

Lihua quickly made way for the door and hurriedly followed it towards the study.

Qin Wenlan had heard the conversation outside a long time ago, but he just pretended not to know.

After hearing Han Song's words, he quickly became happy and looked at Han Song, "Who did you get this information from?"

"Master, this is of course the news sent by Guard Qian. Master, would you like to go to the city gate to welcome the prince's army tomorrow? I heard that many people will go to the city gate tomorrow to welcome the prince and his army back victorious!"

Qin Wenlan was stunned for a moment, and Mudan and the others beside him quickly spoke up, "Master, such a good opportunity cannot be missed. Let those gossipers see how much better our master is than the noble ladies they talk about.

They keep complaining about their master, saying this is not good, that is not good. Didn't the prince send someone to tell the master when his army returned? Why didn't he tell them?

"That's right, that's right. Our master just doesn't want to argue with them. Look at what they have done during this period of time." Haitang followed.

No matter what the people said, Qin Wenlan was not moved at all. She thought that she was not an ornamental fish, so why should she run around to show off to others just for the rumors outside.

Besides, I am still preparing for my wedding, so showing up at this time may not be a good thing.

As the saying goes, it is better to be still than to move. Why should she care about others knowing how she is doing?

"I'm a bride-to-be now, how can I run out to see the army's triumphant return!" Qin Wenlan shook her head.

"Master, the prince has returned to the capital in triumph, how can you not go to welcome him?" Guihua also hurriedly advised, what if Prince An is unhappy because of this?

Qin Wenlan shook his head. "Even if he really ran away, it might not be a good thing for the prince. People outside are already jealous, so why remind them again? It would be safer if he didn't show up."

After hearing what their master said, Mudan and the others didn't know how to persuade them anymore. After all, what their master said was not wrong.

It would be easy to be targeted if they showed up at this time, but didn't Guard Qian's men send a message to Han Song just to get their master to go?

If his master didn't go, how would he explain to the prince? The people sent by Guard Qian were still waiting for his reply.

Han Song certainly believed that everything his master said was right, and if the master didn't want to go, then he didn't have to go.

Han Song decided to tell the other party exactly what he had said. As for whether Prince An would be unhappy if he knew about it, that was not something he could control.

Anyway, as long as their master is happy, they are all the master's people. As for whether other people are happy or not, it has nothing to do with them.

In fact, Qin Wenlan received all the merit rewards as soon as the Great Xia army set out, although her cultivation level did not decline at all.

However, all the merits went to stabilize and expand the space. Now her space truly belongs to her, and she no longer has to worry about it disappearing without a trace for no reason one day.

So what does it matter whether her cultivation level changes or not? She doesn't want to be the king here anyway. What is satisfying is that the space is truly stable and does not move.

This is the benefit of doing great good deeds. It allowed all the soldiers of the Great Xia Kingdom to return alive, which is many times more meritorious than sending them supplies before. This is really an unexpected surprise, and it is something Qin Wenlan did not expect.

It can be said that a tree grows from an unintentional planting, while flowers do not grow despite careful planting. Now look inside the space, it is surrounded by patches of black land, so vast that there is no boundary in sight.

The black soil is full of many unknown plants. When the breeze blows gently, bursts of fragrance accompanied by the aroma of medicinal herbs come to your nose, which is really refreshing.

There is also an antique wooden house inside, and one side of the house is completely covered with layers of purple flowers.

On the other side, the sound of gurgling water can be heard from the Phoenix Mountains. Looking into the distance, you can see mountains surrounded by clouds and mist. This is a true paradise on earth.

Qin Wenlan looked at everything in front of him, as if in a dream. He was about to go to the black soil in the distance to see what species were growing there, when suddenly a crisp sound came to his ears.

"I didn't expect that the first person I saw when I woke up again would be such a weak human being."

Qin Wenlan looked over when he heard the sound and saw a snow-white pheasant with a long tail flying over from the mist.

The pheasant's head looks like it has a mushroom on it, it is furry and very cute, its feathers are pure white without any impurities, and its tail drags very far.

Before Qin Wenlan could react, the pheasant fluttered to her and asked, "Human, you are so weak! Has my divine weapon degenerated? Otherwise, how could you only have this little cultivation?"

Qin Wenlan really liked this beautiful pheasant that could speak human language and suddenly appeared in his space.

"Little cutie, do all of you pheasants look like this? And you just said this is your magic weapon?"

"Human, you are so disrespectful. Do you know how many years I have gone through? I am the White Phoenix from hundreds of thousands of years ago. You know, the White Phoenix, the pheasant, the pheasant's nonsense cry. When have you ever seen such a beautiful pheasant?

You, a human, actually dare to say that I am a pheasant. If it weren’t for the fact that my space artifact has already recognized you, I really want to kick you out of here. You don’t know how to respect the elderly and love the young at all.

According to the years, you, a tiny human being, can call me the founder. Forget it, I won’t bother with you. It’s your fault that a tiny human like you has been recognized by the space artifact!

From now on, I will call you, little thing, master, alas."

Pheasant, oh, you can’t call him Pheasant anymore, he is the most noble White Phoenix.

I saw him just tapping the ground with his mouth and turning around, as if he was not unhappy about it.

Then he continued to ask: "Are you the master of this space?"

"Well, I guess so! However, this artifact will belong to you from now on. After all, He has recognized you as His master, and I am just His guardian beast. How is the spiritual energy outside now? Let's look at your cultivation level."

"There is basically no spiritual energy outside. My cultivation relies on the space to cultivate to this level. Bai Feng, why did you appear at this time?

Didn't the previous space owner say that this space was just evolved from lotus seeds? He also said that this space can't be exposed, otherwise it will disappear without a trace. I was so scared that I didn't dare to use it." Qin Wenlan sighed.

"After a fierce battle, I fell into a deep sleep. If it weren't for your blessings, I don't know when I would wake up.

You said that the previous owner said that this was a space evolved from lotus seeds. Haha, how is that possible? It was just a deception, so in his opinion it was evolved from lotus seeds.

When he took over, the artifact did not recognize him as its master, but simply allowed him to use it. Otherwise, how could he not continue to ascend with it?

Could it be that he is so powerful that he doesn't need this artifact anymore? Think about it, if he could take it away directly, why would he be willing to keep it?

This is because the artifact doesn't want to follow him. Haven't you noticed the changes in the previous spatial range and the current range?

Also, he said that the space would disappear for no reason, and that was because the artifact did not recognize him.

Now that the artifact has recognized you, it means that the artifact will never disappear for no reason again.

Unless you do something evil that will anger heaven and man, will you? From the endless stream of merit you receive, you will know that you will never do anything that will anger heaven and man.

So from now on you should just focus on your cultivation and don’t worry about these trivial things.

Besides, I have truly awakened in the future. Even if I can't transform into a human temporarily, I can still protect the artifact." After saying this, Bai Feng sneered.

Humans are really ridiculous. How could a divine artifact leave the contractor for no reason, unless it is not truly recognized?

"Isn't it true that no matter how much I practice, I can only reach the Nascent Soul stage?" Qin Wenlan said to Bai Feng.

"That was before I woke up, and the artifact couldn't expand its original size. These things will no longer exist in the future." Bai Feng wanted to roll his eyes again.

Qin Wenlan knew that she was too ignorant. Even if Bai Feng really rolled her eyes at her, she didn't care. After all, she was a fool.

But now she is so happy, because from now on this space will not run away, and the guardian beast of the space, the little phoenix, a real divine beast, will all be hers from now on~

So how could Qin Wenlan have the leisure to go to the city gate to pick someone up? Even if it was Gu Changan, she couldn't hold anything else in her mind except the space artifact and Bai Feng.

Besides, knowing that she could continue to practice, she was so happy. Who would care about other people when she could practice? If it weren't for repaying a favor, she probably wouldn't even want Gu Changan.

——

Early the next morning, the city gate was already crowded with people, all craning their necks waiting for Prince An and his party to enter the city.

Liu Qingyao had already grabbed a private room facing the street and was staring intently into the distance, with a hint of sadness between his brows.

She had already passed the message to Wenlan, but Wenlan couldn't speak.

She knew that Wenlan had been living an uneasy life recently. Originally, many families in the capital were eager to make plans for this marriage. Now that her cousin had returned with such great military achievements, she didn't know if the marriage would finally happen...

Just as his thoughts were racing, Yu Qinglan and Lu Minglan came over together. Zhang Yihua didn't come today. When the two of them came in and didn't see Qin Wenlan, they started asking.

After knowing that Qin Wenlan wouldn't be coming, Yu Qinglan said, "It would actually be easier for Wenlan not to come. She wouldn't have to listen to those sour words and make herself unhappy. It would actually be easier for her not to come."

"What did you hear again?" Liu Qingyao asked.

"Who else could it be? It's Wen Ruyu and the others who always dislike Wen Lan. Isn't it relying on Queen Wen? Look how powerful she is. She doesn't know which way is which~"

Lu Minglan continued, "Qinglan just had a fight with them. They really went a bit too far. If Qinglan hadn't confronted them, I wouldn't have let them go today.

It's really because we've been letting them do these things too much. We think we're afraid of them, and they're all so careless and talk nonsense. They really think this world is their home, and we've spoiled them like this."

Liu Qingyao looked at Yu Qinglan in surprise, "But is it true? Are you really pissed off?"

Yu Qinglan was actually a little angry when she spoke. "I just get mad for no reason when I see them. They act like little girls, just like the old ladies in the market."
