Nian Wangfei's
19

The celebration ends with a happy note. Those high officials and nobles led their families out of the cage-like royal palace, but there were still many people who fought for that highest position and crawled into that cage.

Tutor He's wrinkled face was filled with a friendly smile, in the middle of the road, he became more affectionate towards his own grandson.

Tutor He had only one son and one daughter. His wife died many years ago but Tutor He did not remarry with someone to care for his two children. His daughter also died like his wife.

 His son was also a taibao, inheriting his legacy, teaching the education of princes and princesses. Teacher He only had one grandson, now that he was around seventeen years old, his emotions were alive. 

When Tutor He saw this grandson, he would remember his pitiful grandson. But now that the grandson was by his side, Tutor He was indeed very affectionate.

“Good grandson, go home with grandfather, your uncle has been looking for you for years, you also have biaoge, both can have a playmate in He manor.” Everyone had left the royal palace and boarded their own carriage. Tutor He did not even think about it and prepared to take Lan You Nian home with him.

A home? Lan You Nian looked at the kind-hearted elder in front of him, the feeling in his eyes was not wrong. Could this be the so-called feeling between the older and the younger?

“Nian...” Lan You Nian did not have time to reply before he heard a voice filled with complicated sounds behind him.

Lan You Nian looked towards the person who came. It was his so-called father Lan Jian Jun, followed by An yiniang and the three sons and daughters as well as Lan Mo Xian. Lan You Nian slightly arched his knees and saluted, a voice that was still soft and sharp sounded but contained alienation and indifference, "Greetings to General Lan!"

General Lan's call actually made Lan Jian Jun's face turn a little pale. Now, not even father's call wants to be said? Holding back the sour taste in his throat, Lan Jian Jun walked over to Lan You Nian's side, looked at his thin and fragile daughter, and felt even more guilty.

"Father-in-law, it's better if Nian'er comes with me to the Lan manor!" Right now, Lan Jian Jun only wanted to make up with this princess. If the princess lived in the father-in-law's manor, then she was afraid that even meeting this princess would be difficult.

"Hmmm!" Tutor He glared at Lan Jian Jun. "This old man did not want to let his grandson suffer anymore, then disappeared without a trace while life and death were unknown!"

Lan Jian Jun knew that everything the father-in-law said was fact; he did not even have the ability to argue.

 Lan Jian Jun glanced at his own son, that gaze containing the longing of a father, something Lan Mo Xian had never seen in his father.

"Dad-in-law rest assured, I, Lan Jian Jun, swear that such a thing will never happen again!" Lan Jian Jun swore.

“Grandfather, grandson has not seen Nian'er meimei for a long time, so let Nian'er meimei go home with grandson!” Lan Mo Xian came to Tutor He's side and begged.

Tutor He was also very fond of this grandson who was not his daughter's biological son but transcended biological blood. When her daughter was alive, she would often tease her granddaughter. 

In Tutor He's heart, there was no difference between Lan Mo Xian and his granddaughter at home.

Lan Mo Xian saw grandfather bowing and was about to continue persuading when Lan You Nian suddenly spoke.

"Grandfather, Nian'er better get back to the Lan manor!" Lan You Nian said in a gentle tone, "Nian'er was originally the legitimate daughter of the Lan manor, living in a place where grandfather would make grandfather suffer criticism."

When Lan You Nian said the two words legitimate daughter out loud, An yiniang and her two daughters and one son all clenched their teeth.

“Grandfather has been many years, what criticism should be feared? How could grandfather let his good grandson suffer complaints?” Although Tutor He was honest, but towards this newly discovered lost grandson, it still gave the sincere attention of an elder.

“Grandfather, you are, of course, not afraid of criticism, but who knows how others will say Nian'er meimei! Moreover, the Lan manor had grandchildren, grandchildren would not let Nian'er meimei suffer any grievances!" Lan Mo Xian supported Tutor He and said seriously. Previously, he was young and weak so Nian'er meimei suffered greatly. Now she has the ability to protect her own little sister.

"Well, good grandson if you have any complaints, tell grandpa, got it?" Tutor He also knew that if Lan You Nian stayed in his house, it might not be appropriate, so could only agree.

"Thank you grandfather" Lan You Nian bowed, then noticed as Tutor He entrusted him for a long time before boarding the carriage to return to the He manor.

Lan Jian Jun looked at the princess standing in front of him and suddenly did not know what to say. She actually has no experience hanging out with her children. 

Lan Mo Xian, he was completely hands off, not needing any attention, while the other children he had, he never cared about himself, did he, so the current brave General Lan on the battlefield felt uneasy.

Lan Mo Xian saw the alienated gaze between father and daughter and the father's uneasiness, so he opened the conversation, "Nian'er meimei, do you still remember big brother?"

“Give greetings to big brother!” Lan You Nian gave a greeting, then there was no more.

“Nian'er meimei, why are you wearing a veil?” Actually Lan Mo Xian wanted to ask from the beginning, but only had the opportunity to ask now. Lan Jian Jun was also confused as to why his daughter was wearing a veil.

“Did the older brother not know? The third sister ruined her appearance when she was a child, I heard her face like a ghost!” Lan Ya Ya replied. 

Actually at the banquet, they saw Lan You Nian always wearing a veil and never taking it off. Although previously in Jing city there were rumors about Lan You Nian's broken appearance, but they knew that it was wrong.

So An yiniang let a palace maid go check during the banquet but was surprised to learn that Lan You Nian's appearance was indeed damaged. 

The palace maid saw with her own two eyes. When An yiniang pondered about it, he believed that it was destroyed due to the fall of Lan You Nian from the cliff. 

This way, even if Lan You Nian had the position of a legitimate daughter, she had nothing to compete with her daughter.

How could An yiniang know that Lan You Nian had deliberately made a scar on his face, and he had also deliberately let the palace maid see it? The goal is to make An yiniang complacent so that the fall will be more painful. 

And her own appearance was really too pretty, this was not a good thing, so it was best to cover it up.

"What?" Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian were shocked. They don't even know the face of their daughter (sister girl) is destroyed. If she was invisible, how could she find a husband that they could trust her life in the future ah!

"Nian'er, weifu will find the best doctor, Nian'er will definitely be cured." Lan Jian Jun stared with heartache at the face of Lan You Nian who was covered in a veil.

"It's okay, General Lan doesn't have to bother!" Lan You Nian did not even look at Lan Jian Jun. Now she knew what heartache was, so why was it that when Lan You Nian was alive she didn't feel pity? Very late!
