After being reborn, I became the apple of my enemy's eye.

Yan Yun looked at the person in front of him, then at the person holding his hand, and without any gratitude, pulled his hand away.

Even if the person in front of her meant well, she wouldn't accept that kindness.

The two met once again, but parted on bad terms once more.

Lu Yan followed her figure, watching the maids who were with Yan Yun. Their eyes never left Yan Yun.

Lu Yan sighed for no reason; it turned out that she wasn't necessarily comfortable either.

Lu Yan went back to find Lu Lan, because the old lady had gone to see the old lady, and she must be running around alone.

Yesterday, she showed great interest in this place. I hope she won't wander into places she shouldn't go. Before I left, my mother kept telling me to take good care of my younger sister. I should stay and watch over her to prevent any trouble.

Granny Zhu returned to the old lady's courtyard, intending to tell her what had just happened, but she saw the old lady talking with a nanny from the Lu family.

Although it was called a conversation, the old nanny from the Lu family was much more enthusiastic than I, a servant, was.

Not only did they have to massage the old lady's shoulders and legs, but they also had to add tea to her cup. They didn't seem like sisters; they were more like mistress and servant.

Granny Zhu stood still to the side without going over to disturb them.

The old lady calmly considered the family matters. Although Zheng Jihua had not yet agreed to the marriage with the Lu family, the old lady's attitude was clear, and she also felt that he was the most suitable candidate.

If the other party's family background wasn't good, Zheng Jihua definitely wouldn't agree. But the other party's family is a general's mansion, which is thousands of miles away from here. Even if something happens, it's still within the Zheng family's domain.

Moreover, although Lu Yan was not in good health, he did not appear to be in any condition, and since he was her blood relative, the old lady was naturally most satisfied.

She didn't tell Zheng Jihua her plans at first; she would bring it up naturally once Ning'er and Lu Yan had developed feelings for each other.

Thinking about this, she also wanted to rest.

"I'm very tired lately. Granny Zhu hasn't come back yet. Your technique is good. Please massage me again."

"Yes."

This place remains a picture of harmony.

Lu Lan wandered around the mansion and went to many places. She had heard her mother say that the master of the Zheng family was a cripple, but she couldn't understand how a cripple and an old woman could support such a large Zheng mansion.

Was it passed down from our ancestors?

That's the possibility she was thinking about.

She wandered around like that, because when she entered the Zheng residence, everyone knew she was a guest, and no one stopped her.

In the more bustling courtyard, Lu Lan immediately spotted the place she wanted to go.

She lifted her skirt and walked inside, but saw no maids to her left or right. Emboldened, she pushed open the tightly closed doors so she could see what was inside.

She reached out and pushed open the door. The room was filled with the fragrance of books. Lu Lan was very familiar with this smell. What made her happy was that the smell wasn't unpleasant. She kept shaking her head when she thought about the unpleasant smell emanating from the books that were left in the corner of her house.

Lu Landuo only glanced at the neatly arranged books a few times. She didn't like reading. Her family thought she liked dancing and swordplay, but she didn't like them either.

When her family asked her what she liked, she shook her head and said nothing.

Lu Lan was thinking about her own things.

Just then, someone passed by outside, and Lu Lan immediately crouched down and hid.

The people outside weren't surprised; they just glanced inside, and seeing no one, immediately closed the door. Lu Lan hid to the side, feeling her heart race. This feeling was quite novel.

She moved forward slowly, pressed her ear against the door, and when she heard no sound outside, she quietly opened the door and looked out. There was no one there.

She immediately stood up, opened the door, and went out. Once she reached the spot next to her, she immediately pushed the door open again and went back in. Even after she went in, the feeling of anxious excitement had not yet dissipated.

"Is it that blind lackey?"

The man's stern rebuke completely extinguished her excitement.

She straightened up and explained urgently, "I am Lu Lan from General Lu's mansion, a guest at the Zheng residence. I am not a thief..."

She spoke in a flustered manner, but her eyes remained calm, fixed on the person speaking.

Zheng Jihua was wearing only a thin shirt, which was casually tied and didn't cover her body. She had never seen such a scene before, and her face turned red instantly.

At that moment, he recognized who the person in front of him was.

She hadn't expected anyone to be inside, especially dressed like that, and she couldn't help but glance in Zheng Jihua's direction again.

There weren't any women there either.

She seems oblivious to her current predicament and still wants to find someone else here.

"What are you still looking at?"

Zheng Jihua looked at the girl in front of him with an unfriendly expression. Even if they were distant relatives, he was still unhappy that she was showing up in a place she shouldn't be. Seeing that she was staring at him, he felt even more that this girl didn't know any manners.

"go out."

He was speaking loudly, sweat streaming down his face. Lu Lan felt a jolt in her heart and immediately fled.

Even after escaping the room, she was still filled with anxiety. She felt that she must have encountered something, otherwise she wouldn't be like this.

She was panting heavily, leaning uncomfortably against the wall. She turned around to look, but the person from before was not there.

Before she could even relax, another voice came from her ear.

"Lan'er, where have you been again? You've run around like this."

"what!"

A scream.

While straightening her clothes, Lu Lan complained to her brother, "Third brother, when are you going to stop this habit of suddenly appearing next to people?"

Seeing that she was taking her anger out on him, Lu Yan asked, "What wrong thing did Lan'er do?"

"Third Brother, what are you saying?"

She would never admit it.

"Third Brother, let's go out for a walk. I haven't been out since I came here."

Lu Yan was helpless.

"It's only the second day."

It's only been two days and she already wants to go out; that means it's my seemingly gentle and polite younger sister.

Lu Lan said coquettishly, "Go ahead, Third Brother. I need some gifts to take back to Mother. It would be nice to go and choose some first."

Lu Yan couldn't go against Lu Lan's nature.

"I'll go talk to the nanny before I go out, so she won't worry."

Lu Lan said, "Then Third Brother, you go find Granny, and I'll go get my baby. We'll meet at the door later."

She left immediately after speaking, without waiting for Lu Yan's reply, which was a common occurrence for Lu Yan.

He went to the old lady's courtyard and found his nanny. Seeing that his nanny was doing servant's work, he still kept a calm expression and told her about his idea of ​​going out.

The old lady was worried and said she wanted someone to go out with her.

Lu Yan said he had been here before and that he would protect his sister. The old lady was still not worried and asked Zhu Mama to find someone to go out with her.

When Lu Lan saw the servants who had come with her, she knew that today was not going to be fun. Dressed in a servant's uniform, she said to Lu Yan, "Third Brother, I am not happy at all."

Lu Yan knew this too, but unfortunately this was not the General's Mansion.

"Just take a walk and look around, treat it as a way to relax."

Lu Lan had been unhappy and listless. Just as she was leaving the Zheng residence, a sudden thought flashed through her mind, and she immediately spoke it out.

"Third Brother, isn't that guy from the Zheng family a cripple?"

The attendant following behind looked up at Lu Lan, and Lu Yan immediately stopped her from continuing.

"Little sister."

Lu Lan immediately shut up, but her eyes were clearly shining, as if she knew something.

Lu Yan told the Zheng family's servant to stay a little further away from them, as they had some things to say.

The attendants immediately moved further away.

"Be careful what you say and do when you're out and about."

"Third Brother, I..."
