Chapter 609 Return to the Lan Family
Chapter 609 Return to the Lan Family
From Feng Yu, I learned that Lan Xi was the daughter of Feng Lan's cousin and also his distant cousin.
No wonder my second cousin was so concerned about her. Suddenly he was looking forward to seeing the real her.
"Feng Yu, you are the young master of the Feng family, the future patriarch of the Feng family. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by your father and grandfather?"
Feng Yu chuckled: "I don't think the Feng family needs to rely on a woman's life to keep it prosperous. In fact, when I was a child, I accidentally went to the Feng family's mausoleum. It was full of gloom and resentment, and..."
Feng Yu paused, as if recalling something.
"And what?"
Lan Zhao asked curiously, Feng Yu's eyes moved slightly: "Nothing."
Listening to the conversation between the two, it seemed like they came here to wait for them?
Ji Jiuying narrowed her eyes. It seemed that there was something strange in the Feng family’s tomb. For the safety of her and her mother, she had to find out.
Swish swish!
Several people came out from the darkness. Feng Yu and Lan Zhao heard the noise and immediately became alert.
When they saw who was coming, they were delighted, "Finally we've waited for you!"
Then their eyes fell on Feng Lan and Ji Jiuying.
"You are, aunt!"
Feng Yu looked at Feng Lan and said in a positive tone. Feng Lan looked at Feng Yu: "You, you are Yu'er?"
"it's me."
"I didn't expect you've grown up so much now." Feng Lan couldn't help but sigh.
Lan Zhao looked at Feng Lan and then at Ji Jiuying. Although they looked different, her temperament and those eyes... She must be Ji Jiuying.
Noticing Lan Zhao's gaze, Ji Jiuying glanced at him and raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Why? Don't you know me?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Lan Zhao smiled: "How could it be..."
"Yuer, Lan Zhao, are you here to wait for us?" Feng Che asked.
The two nodded, and Lan Zhao said, "The area around the Lan family is full of secret guards. If you go there rashly, your identity will be exposed."
"Hearing what you said, you have a solution?" Feng Wu asked.
"I know there is a secret passage that leads directly to the Lan family's backyard."
A few people followed Lan Zhao and Feng Yu and found the so-called secret passage. Looking at the abandoned pigsty in front of them, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly.
Lan Zhao smiled awkwardly: "Special circumstances, special measures..."
"Lead the way!"
Lan Zhao was the first to slip into the pigsty. Although it was abandoned, the stench was still there. Several people followed Lan Zhao step by step, suppressing their urge to vomit.
After half an hour's journey, they finally arrived at the Lan family's backyard.
Hei Xiangling let out a long sigh.
"I swear, I won't come to this secret passage again!"
Lan Zhao touched his nose awkwardly.
"Everyone, come with me."
Several people followed Lan Zhao and soon arrived at Lan Mingyue's yard, but the yard was empty, and Lan Zhao went out to look for her.
Feng Lan looked around the simple courtyard, where various kinds of flowers were planted. At just one glance, she knew that these were all taken care of by Lan Mingyue herself.
Ji Jiuying sat in the yard, her mind full of thoughts. In the current situation, it was definitely not safe for her mother to be here. She had to be wary of the Feng family while also being wary of Kamakura in the dark.
Not a moment.
Lan Zhao brought Lan Mingyue with him, followed by the head of the Lan family, Lan Mingyang, Lan Mingyue's younger brother and Lan Zhao's grandfather. Another one was Lan Yu, whom Ji Jiuying had met before, who was Lan Zhao's second uncle.
"Zhao'er, what are you doing so mysteriously?"
Lan Mingyue glanced at Lan Zhao and said unhappily that she and Xier were having a great chat just now, but Lan Zhao insisted that she come back to the courtyard, saying that he had a surprise for her.
Lan Mingyue knew that he must have gone somewhere to find rare flowers and plants for her again.
"Aunt, you will definitely like this surprise."
"Sister, you should be content that Zhao'er is so thoughtful. I am his grandfather, and I have never seen him give me many surprises, but I have given me a lot of scares." Lan Mingyang said with a smile.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? This situation is special..."
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard, but the voices coming from inside made Lan Mingyue a little confused.
She pushed the door open gently as usual. The moment the door opened, her sight was attracted by the familiar figure, as if time had stopped at this moment. Her footsteps seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move, her eyes gradually moistened, tears welled up in her eyes.
Countless words came to her mind, but she didn't know where to start. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something. Her red eyes stared at the person she had been thinking about day and night.
"mother--"
Feng Lan walked forward, and Lan Mingyue choked up. The thousands of words she had wanted to say merged into one word "Ah", and the tears in her eyes could no longer be controlled and flowed down.
She walked up quickly, and the people who had been separated for more than ten years hugged each other tightly.
“My Lan’er, my Lan’er, you’re finally back! Mother, mother thought…it’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back…”
"Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry!"
The two embraced and wept.
Lan Mingyang looked at the two of them and his eyes became slightly sore. He had seen how his sister had become sick from missing him over the years. Normally, only these children could distract her attention.
Now that Lan'er is back, he feels relieved.
At this moment, he discovered Ji Jiuying behind him, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Judging from her appearance, she must be Lan'er's daughter.
Thinking of the portraits circulating outside, Lan Mingyang fell into deep thought.
When Lan Yu saw the portrait for the first time, he recognized her as the person who had saved them before and whom his aunt had adopted as her godgranddaughter. However, he did not expect that this was really his aunt's biological granddaughter. He recalled the conversation between the two of them at that time.
He suspected that maybe she had recognized his aunt when they first met, otherwise how could she help them for no reason and take the initiative to acknowledge his aunt as her grandmother.
But think about it, if her identity were known to the Feng family, she would definitely be captured and replaced as Lan'er's cousin, and their Lan family would still be the same as before and would not be able to change Lan'er's fate.
"Jiu'er."
Lan Mingyue pulled Ji Jiuying's hand and looked at her with loving eyes.
"I knew that my intuition would not be wrong. The first time I saw you, I had a feeling of familiarity. I didn't expect that you were really my granddaughter..."
"Grandma, I'm sorry, I chose to hide it from you..."
"It's okay, grandma doesn't blame you, you must have your reasons."
For safety reasons, Feng Che set up a barrier in the yard.
Ji Jiuying's portrait has spread throughout the Heavenly Realm, but only the Feng family knew that Feng Lan had returned. It had not been spread outside, not even the Lan family. The only reason Lan Zhao knew about it was because Feng Yu passed the news to him.
Now the Lan family has spies everywhere, so he didn't make it public.
Feng Yu told us that the Feng family was certain that Feng Lan would come to the Lan family to find Lan Mingyue first, so they had already placed shadow guards around the Lan family two days ago.
