I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

"I've been in the capital for less than a month, and I have no idea who I've offended."

At this point, she breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing their conversation, Yuan Tianxiong quickly walked over.

"Miss Lan, what happened?"

Before she could speak, Yu Jie said impatiently:

"We just encountered assassins; they wanted to kill Lan Zhi..."

assassin?

Upon hearing those two words, Yuan Tianxiong's face immediately darkened. "We're new here, how could there be an assassin trying to kill you?"

Lan Zhi shook her head.

"I don't know, maybe they mistook me for someone else. Don't tell Mo Ning about this, so he won't worry."

Although Yuan Tianxiong nodded in agreement, he immediately told Mo Ning about it.

Mourning was quite surprised.

"Someone wants to kill Lan Zhi?"

"Yes, but she told me not to tell you, afraid you would worry."

Mo Ning's face turned ashen in an instant.

"How could someone kill her? Has our whereabouts been exposed?"

"No, I've been keeping a low profile all this time, and you only show up at night. It's impossible for anyone to know our whereabouts. Besides, even if someone did know, assassinating you would be much easier than killing Miss Lan."

"What you say is true, but Lan Zhi had no grudges against anyone, so why would someone kill her?"

Yuan Tianxiong looked at Mo Ning warily.

"Could she have offended someone in the palace? After all, the Empress doesn't want the Empress Dowager's illness to be cured so quickly..."

A dark glint flashed in Mo Ning's eyes. "You mean, the assassin might have been sent by the Queen?"

"That's possible, otherwise I can't imagine why anyone would want to target Miss Lan."

"Humph!"

Mo Ning immediately gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the table.

"If anyone dares to lay a finger on her, I will make them pay with their life."

“Young master, the capital is in chaos lately, and the palace is certainly not quiet either. You should tell Miss Lan to stay home as much as possible. Once the Empress Dowager’s birthday is over, the truth will come out, and you will be able to regain your identity. Then everything will be fine.”

Mo Ning shook his head in disagreement.

"We still don't know what Wei Jian'an is up to, so we can't let our guard down. Yuan Tianxiong, remember this: if something uncontrollable happens on the Empress Dowager's birthday, don't worry about me. You must get Lan Zhi and Mao Mao out of the capital safely."

“Young master, don’t scare me. As long as we expose his evil deeds on the day of the Empress Dowager’s birthday, he will become a rat that everyone wants to beat. You don’t need to fight him head-on.”

Mo Ning's expression turned unusually serious at this moment.

"I'm not trying to scare you, I'm just reminding you to do exactly what I say. The capital is a mixed bag right now. If Wei Jian'an joins forces with any country and tries to take advantage of the situation to assassinate the emperor and seize the throne, I will risk my life to take his head to avenge my dead family and brothers, and to do my last bit to stabilize the Northern Wei dynasty."

"Are you saying he dares to rebel?"

“In the five years I was away, he did a lot of things, and none of them were done without a reason. That mysterious team must have been built for the purpose of rebellion.”

"Should we inform the Emperor in advance?"

Mo Ning hurriedly waved his hand,

"No, Father doesn't know I'm still alive. If he finds out, our plan to expose Wei Jian'an will be ruined."

Are you afraid that the Emperor will stop you from doing so?

"Ah!"

A disdainful smile flashed across Mo Ning's lips.

"How could he let his two sons kill each other in front of the whole world and embarrass him? Even if one of them had suffered a great injustice and wrongedness."

"Young master, the Emperor valued you highly back then. If you hadn't been framed, he wouldn't have ignored you. Besides, we have already verified that the person who chased you back then was Ade, a guard by Wei Jian'an's side. This must have been done by Wei Jian'an. You shouldn't hold too much resentment towards the Emperor."

"Humph!"

Thinking of the emperor's indifference back then, Mo Ning felt a chill run down her spine.

"If he had given me a chance to explain back then, and had trusted me a little more, I wouldn't have been lying in bed like a living dead for five years. I am where I am today because of every single one of them."

"Young master, you should not harbor hatred towards everyone. After you regain your status, it will be inconvenient to make enemies. It would be better to try to maintain good relations with the other princes."

"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. When I was in trouble, not one of them stood up for me. Instead, they all looked gloating. Why should I try to get along with them?"

"You are brothers after all..."

"All right."

Mo Ning raised her hand to interrupt him, somewhat impatiently.

"You talk too much. Go out and see if Brother Lan Zhi has arrived yet. Treat her well..."

"Yes, son."

After Yuan Tianxiong bowed, he turned and left, but a fierce glint appeared in Mo Ning's eyes.

Who would dare to harm Lan Zhi, whose life is more important than his? They must be courting death.

Just before dinner started, there was a knock on the door, and Lan Zhi rushed to open it.

When she saw Ling Jiawei standing at the door, she happily rushed forward and hugged him.

"Big brother, is it really you?"

Ling Jiawei was a little embarrassed, but he still patted her lightly on the back.

"Lan Zhi, what brings you to the capital? When that Yuan guy told me, I couldn't believe it. I didn't expect you to actually be here."

Lan Zhi quickly released her arms from his and said happily:

"I've been in the capital for over twenty days now, and I've been wanting to see you, but I haven't had the time. Brother, how are you doing? I heard you're working at a restaurant? Is it going well? Also, how did your exams go?"

She asked quite a few questions, leaving Ling Jiawei overwhelmed. Xiangxiu quickly stood in the yard to remind him.

"Sister Lan, please let my brother come into the hospital to talk!"

Lan Zhi then realized that she had been so caught up in her joy that she and her elder brother were standing inside and outside the door.

She laughed awkwardly, then quickly greeted them:

"Brother, hurry up and get into the hospital."

Ling Jiawei looked at the courtyard and the people standing in it, and asked in a low voice,

"Lan Zhi, whose house is this? Who are these people?"

He probably couldn't have guessed that in just a few months, his sister, who used to cry so often, had become very different from before.

As Lan Zhi pulled him toward the courtyard, she said:

"This is my temporary home in the capital. They are all family. This is Xiangxiu, this is Aqi, this is Yujie, and this little brat is called Mao Mao..."

As she spoke, she glanced into the room.

"And Mo Ning, he's inside. I'll take you to see him."

Upon hearing this name, Ling Jiawei's face immediately darkened.

"I heard from Tang Jun that you married a disabled man named Mo Ning, and he also came to the capital?"

Seeing his elder brother's expression suddenly turn grim, fearing he might dislike Mo Ning, he quickly explained:

“Brother, he’s no longer disabled, and he’s a very nice person. Come on, I’ll take you to meet him.”
