Chapter 297: Secretly Bringing Her Child to the Capital
Chapter 297: Secretly Bringing Her Child to the Capital
Madam Lan said with hatred on her face: "As long as I can get rid of that little bitch, I will die without regrets."
Lan Shurong still disagreed with her mother's words. After all, if her mother really touched the money, she would be abandoned by her cousin. She was silent for a moment and comforted her mother, "Mom, don't worry, I will find a way to deal with Lan Wanxi. Just keep the money for now."
Mrs. Lan was very pleased to see her sensible daughter. With red eyes, she said to her, "Rong'er, you are filial. Your love for you is not in vain."
After saying this, she said with tears in her eyes: "You should go see your brother too. If possible, help him find a better doctor."
"Okay," Lan Shurong said, then she stood up and left.
Lan Shurong came to her brother's yard and saw her father coming back. She stepped forward and saluted him, saying, "Father."
Lan Mao looked at his daughter expressionlessly and said, "Did you go to see your mother?"
Lan Shurong said: "Yes."
"Is Wanxi really still alive?" Lan Mao asked.
Lan Shurong nodded to her father and said truthfully: "She is not only alive, but also living well."
After listening to his daughter's words, Lan Mao was silent for a long time before asking, "What did she tell you?"
Lan Shurong: "She didn't say anything except to humiliate me."
After hearing what his daughter said, Lan Mao stood up and sighed, "Ah, this is retribution, retribution..."
As Lan Mao spoke, he glanced at his unconscious son and left with a sad heart.
Lan Shurong looked at her father's back and shouted, "Dad, I heard Wanxi's medical skills are very good. If we can let her help my brother, she will definitely be able to cure him."
Lan Shurong knew clearly that neither she nor her brother and mother could invite Lan Wanxi, but her father could. Filial piety is more important than anything else. As long as Lan Wanxi still wanted to be a woman of the Jiang family, she would not dare to disobey her father too much.
Lan Mao was stunned for a moment when he heard that the fifth daughter was very good at medicine. After coming back to his senses, he looked at the eldest daughter with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "What is going on? How did she suddenly become a doctor?"
Lan Shurong said: "I don't know the details, I just know that she has changed her name to Shen Ruolan, and settled in the Nanshan Mountain on the border of Cangling City..."
When Lan Mao heard his daughter mention Shen Ruolan, he interrupted her and asked, "Are you talking about Shen Ruolan, who has been spreading around the capital recently and treated the Crown Prince?"
After Lan Shurong heard what her father said, she looked at him and asked, "Father, what's been circulating in the capital recently?"
She was trapped in the mansion all day and didn't know much about what was going on outside.
Lan Mao told his daughter everything that had been circulating in the capital recently.
After hearing what her father said, Lan Shurong nodded vigorously and said, "Father, it must be her. She has the support of Medicine King Valley now, so she is so arrogant."
After Lan Mao confirmed that the so-called little miracle doctor was his daughter, he regretted it deeply. How could he be so blind? He actually lost such a good daughter.
He waved his hand with a tired look on his face and said to his daughter, "I understand. You should also hurry back home and don't make that person unhappy."
If he wants to turn things around now, he can only rely on his son-in-law, so he can be said to be wholeheartedly thinking about King Rui.
"Yes." Lan Shurong walked to the bedside, looked at her brother, sighed deeply, and left.
After Lan Mao waited for his eldest daughter to return, he instructed the steward beside him, "Come here, call all the young ladies in the backyard."
"Yes, sir." After Manager Lan finished speaking, he hurried to the backyard and called out all the concubines' daughters who were working.
In the front yard of the Lan Mansion, Lan Mao looked at the dozen or so concubines' daughters, big and small. Thinking that his capable fifth daughter was also among them, he suddenly felt guilty and felt a little guilty towards them.
The little girls were frightened when they saw their fathers staring at them.
Two of the older girls asked him fearfully, "Father, did you ask us to come here? Is there something you want to tell me?"
Lan Mao looked at the girl who was asking the question and asked, "Who among you gets along best with Wan Xi?"
The girls didn't know what their father was going to do. They all looked at each other and told their father the truth: "To answer your question, the fifth sister is a quiet person. She doesn't stay close to anyone."
Lan Mao frowned and said, "Is there nothing better?"
The girls shook their heads, "No."
Seeing this, Lan Mao had no choice but to pick out two of his more flexible daughters and said, "You two stay, the others can go."
"Yes, father." After the little girls finished speaking, they all retreated.
Lan Mao looked at the two girls who stayed behind and said, "Your father has a mission for you. Go to Cangling City and ask your fifth sister to come back to help your brother with his illness. If you do it well, you will be rewarded."
After hearing what their father said, the two girls opened their eyes wide and asked their father, "Father, is the fifth sister still alive?"
Lan Mao said: "She is not only alive, but also alive and well. You two must bring her back no matter what means you use. Do you understand?"
The two little girls hesitated for a moment and asked, "Father, what if the fifth sister doesn't come back?"
Lan Mao looked at his two daughters and said, "Doesn't she have two children? As long as you two find a chance, secretly take her children to the capital, and she will come back."
He had something to do and couldn't leave, otherwise, he would definitely go to Cang Ling City in person. He didn't believe that he, Lan Mao, couldn't deal with a dead girl who had his own flesh and blood!
Under the instigation of their father, Lan Ruer and Lan Xiner, carrying their small bags, followed the guards arranged by their father and secretly left the capital that day.
In the palace, the emperor also knew that the prince went to Shen Ruolan for medical treatment, but as long as it was not a big deal, he didn't bother to care.
He was only concerned about the war situation ahead. Thinking of the war, he asked Eunuch Li beside him, "Eunuch Li, has there been any news from the city recently?"
Eunuch Li hesitated for a moment and told the emperor truthfully: "Your Majesty, we haven't received any news yet."
The emperor heard that he had not received any news recently, so he could not help but frown and said, "I have not received any news from the city for half a month. I don't know what the situation is like there."
Eunuch Li comforted the emperor, "Your Majesty, no news is good news. What's more, Prince Han is guarding over there, so you can rest assured."
After hearing what Eunuch Li said, the emperor nodded, did not ask any more questions, and continued to correct the memorials in his hand with his head down.
The city of Yi, which the emperor was worried about, had just experienced a life-and-death battle. Many soldiers were so tired that they could not stand up and just lay on the ground to sleep.
On the city wall, Yan Mo looked at the exhausted soldiers and asked his master, "Master, what should we do next?"
