Nian Wangfei's
21
The carriage stopped, breaking the oppressive atmosphere in the carriage and the pale complexion of Lan Jian Jun.
Lan You Nian, slender and graceful, stood in front of the gate of Lan Manor. In front of the vast and wide Lan Manor gate, was erected a majestic stone lion that seemed to guard the manor.
Above the door hung several lanterns, emitting a dim light in the darkness.
Standing in front of the gate were the many servants and servants of Lan Manor and the few trusted subordinates of Lan Jian Jun whom he had brought back, all numbering several hundred.
"Mastering!" Several hundred people knelt on the ground. Towards the return of the original master of Lan Manor this was clearly respectful but also frightening.
"Wake up!" Lan Jian Jun's face was extremely cold, looking at these servants, thinking his daughter had suffered so many complaints where she had not noticed it at all, Lan Jian Jun was itching to drag all these people out to be killed.
“Nian'er, we're home!” Lan Jian Jun did not once look towards An yiniang and the others, but stared at Lan You Nian with a fawning.
Because of Lan Jian Jun's words, everyone looked at the girl standing there with a veil. Even if he was young but had a certain elegance.
When the housekeeper saw Lan You Nian, it was like seeing a ghost. How did this happen? Isn't the third young miss dead? Is he a person or a ghost?
“Master, is this the third young lady? In this world, there were many people who wanted to rise higher. Sir, you should reconsider ah!" The first reaction of the housekeeper was that this person was a fake. It was definitely not the third young lady who had died falling off the cliff, so she wanted to uncover the fake identity of this person.
“Will I not even recognize my own daughter? This is my third young miss Lan Manor, I, the legitimate daughter of Lan Jian Jun!” Lan Jian Jun ignored the encouragement of the housekeeper.
Instead, under such circumstances, announced Lan You Nian's identity, moreover, the representative of Lan You Nian's return. The servants of the manor could faintly sense that the sky of this Lan Manor was about to change.
The manor servant had not acted while the subordinates who followed Lan Jian Jun back down on their knees, "Greetings to the young miss!". Their master was Lan Jian Jun, now Lan Jian Jun revealed his own attitude, moreover, saying how important this princess was to him. So, the loyal subordinates from this moment on also considered this general's daughter as a small master.
Everything that Lan Jian Jun did might show off his strength for her, but she, Lan You Nian, did not have the slightest sense of being emotionally moved.
Lan You Nian raised a pair of eyes comparable to stars to look at the manor servants. Obviously, there was nothing in those pair of eyes, but the servants standing there felt their own necks being pressed down so they were gasping and suffocating.
One knelt down, then one by one knelt down until the servants with the housekeeper all knelt down.
Lan Jian Jun looked at his daughter in shock. The imposing manner on his daughter's body from previous moments was even more extreme than himself, a general. For years, where did the princess go? And have to live what?
"Alright, comein!" Lan Jian Jun brought Lan Mo Xian and Lan You Nian into the manor, followed by An yiniang and the others, then the family servants and the others all entered the manor.
Lan Jian Jun sat on the topmost maroon chair in the hall. Sitting on the left side felt warm like Lan Mo Xian's sun.
Sitting on the right was as cold as the snow of Lan You Nian, the second followed by the group of four An yiniang. Even if she spewed blood in her heart, but she also knew that she was currently just a concubine.
All these years, Lan Jian Jun was not in the manor, He Xiao Ran died in the early years, the disappearance of Lan You Nian had made An yiniang already consider herself as the hostess. However, his dream was only halfway through before being knocked back by reality.
"Uncle*Lan, in the future you are the head housekeeper of Lan Manor, managing all the tasks inside Lan Manor!" Lan Jian Jun looked at the original housekeeper deeply, his eyes gleaming with killing intent! Not only did he close his eyes about Nian'er's disappearance, but also dared to lie, and a letter every month saying that Nian'er was fine, wasn't this a good housekeeper?
"Yes sir!" an elder of about 50 years old slightly bent his body. This was the elder who had just driven the carriage, moreover, was elder Lan Manor.
An yiniang trembled, his master was suspicious and put his suspicion on the housekeeper. Since the housekeeper was his own people, if the housekeeper's authority was revoked, in the future, if he wanted to do something in Lan Manor, surely his hands and feet would be tied.
Lan You Nian glanced towards the elder called Uncle Lan. Dress in simple simplicity, but two smart and generous eyes. He looked like a kind-hearted elder but not a gentle-hearted person.
"Housekeeper" Lan Jian Jun suddenly called the housekeeper who was in a panic. The voice contained a coldness.
The housekeeper tried to make himself look normal, "Don't know what the master has?"
"What's the problem? Good question!” Lan Jian Jun violently slapped the table next to him. The table was completely exposed by Lan Jian Jun's attack.
Towards Lan Jian Juns sudden burning fury, everyone in the manor, except for Lan Jian Jun's subordinates, all knelt in fear.
“The third young lady disappeared without a trace five years ago, why did no one deliver this news? And you, my good housemaid, the letter every month actually said the third young miss in the outer manor was fine. I have to ask and see, how is the third young lady?” doing Lan Jian Jun glared at the housekeeper, taking out words one by one.
"Master, I'm innocent ah!" The housekeeper slammed down as he knelt at Lan Jian Jun's feet, tears flowing as if he was truly to blame.
"Not guilty? Then you tell me how you were slandered? Lan Jian Jun chased away the housekeeper in disgust.
"Sir, this is all this mistress!" Before the housekeeper could say anything, An yiniang also knelt in the hall, even before the words were spoken, tears were already flowing as he stared at Lan Jian Jun.
Lan Jian Jun looked at An yiniang without any feelings in his eyes. Lan You Nian could even see a sense of disdain in it.
This drama seems to be getting more interesting, hm? Lan You Nian's lips had an inexplicable smile.
“Master, that year when the lord when to the border, this concubine, one person, supported the enormous Lan Manor. Careful and meticulous did not dare to ignore.
But this concubine had not expected the third young miss to be naughty, come out, and then disappear by accident. When this concubine learned of the loss of the third young miss, she knew that even if I died a million deaths, it would not make up for it.
So, I went to the palace and asked the Empress sister to send people to find the third young miss, she said,
”An yiniang explained while crying, the feeling was so real that it was very reassuring. “But sent so many people to search for so long, there is still not the slightest news of the third young miss.
This concubine, at the time, thought that the third young man had already missed. (crying).
I wanted to tell the master, but the master, at that moment, was at the border in battle. How could this concubine let the complex matters within this shackle master ah!
“For so many years, this concubine never gave up looking for the third young miss, and even repeatedly troubled the Empress sister, but there was no result. So, this concubine believed the third young miss was actually killed, but this concubine knew once master returned it would definitely be upset.
This concubine was afraid that the master would blame yourself because you only care about fighting in the war, and thus harm the third young miss, so this concubine deliberately said the third young miss met the robber on the street and died.
This concubine is willing to endure all the resentment, just doesn't want the lord to grieve ah!” Every single word of yiniang all considered this Lan Manor, because Lan Jian Jun, truly portrayed the image of a married woman very well.
Especially behind An yiniang there is still the support of the Empress, let alone Prime Minister An, this support of father, matches the words of today, who can still punish him?
