Chapter 374 Chapter 376 Letter from the Lan Family

"Sister Rong, the yard here is smaller than ours, the house is smaller too, and it's on someone else's land." Wang Lin said with disdain.

"Outsiders can't come in here. It's enough if no one comes to disturb me when I'm refining the elixir. You can live over there if you like. The house was originally rented for three months, and the lease will expire in more than a month! Brother Ming has already said that he will not come to live here, so someone of you has to stay over there to protect him." As Rong Xianxian spoke, she used the key to unlock the gate and pushed it open into the yard.

Wang Lin looked a little conflicted. He seemed a little uncomfortable not living in the same yard with Sister Rong. But then he thought, if they didn't live together, Sister Rong wouldn't always keep an eye on his cultivation progress, which seemed like a good thing.

Although the courtyard is small, it is very tidy and the house is also very clean, with bright windows and spotless desks. Rong Xianxian opened the window and the cold wind blew in. Well, this place has no heating and the house is icy cold.

Cui Lie and Wang Lin installed the stove in the house, untied the water pipes, lit the stove, boiled water, and the house became warm in a short while.

In the northeast part of the military compound, there is an independent space separated by a wall. The team led by Wen Qingming and Ning Qingtian lives here.

"How about this hypnotist we found this time? Is he effective?" Ning Qingtian asked Mingyin beside her.

"The effect is quite good. I heard that she couldn't sleep the whole night before, and even if she fell asleep, she would wake up soon. Now, as long as the hypnotist is there, Miss Lan Shuang can fall asleep. Although she can only sleep for three or four hours at most after one hypnosis, Doctor Zhuo said that her physical condition is obviously improving. As long as it doesn't get worse and she slowly recuperates, she should have no problem holding on until she returns to the capital." Mingyin said.

"That's good, that's good. Some time ago, Xingcan said that her health was failing, which scared me." Ning Qingtian had a gloomy look on her face.

"Mr. Nine, she is dying because of her own health problems. It has nothing to do with us. Yet you are still looking for doctors for her. When the doctors didn't work, you looked for a hypnotist. Aren't you too concerned about her? Is it just because she has a cousin who is the third wife of the Ning family?" Mingyin's tone was full of dissatisfaction with Lan Shuang.

"She used to go to the Ning family compound quite often, but I didn't go there for this. It was mainly to give me face for Xiang Fangqian. Xiang Fangqian is a regiment commander with real power and independent command of troops. He has a strong background and a bright future. He wrote to me personally and promised that as long as he sent Lan Shuang back to the capital, he would owe me a favor. This favor is very rare." Ning Qingtian was very happy knowing that Lan Shuang's physical condition was under control.

"Miss, come and take a look. This is a secret letter from the family." Xiao Jin said excitedly, holding up a blue envelope.

"How come there is a family secret letter? Is my brother still alive?" Lan Shuang said in surprise.

Xiao Jin's expression froze. She and the young lady were both present when the eldest son of the Lan family passed away. Young lady, why are you asking this now?

"The security here is so tight, how did you get the letter?" Lan Shuang asked immediately.

"Someone stuffed it into my hand when I went to the market to buy pearl powder for the lady just now." Xiao Jin replied.

"Then let's open it and take a look! I didn't expect that there would be a contact point for our Lan family here." Lan Shuang was originally lying on the bed, but now she struggled to sit up.

The two people read the letter carefully and over and over again, with complicated expressions on their faces.

"I didn't expect that the letter was sent by my cousin." Lan Shuang's face looked a little uncertain under the light.

"The second young master invited the young lady to go to Chengyang. He was originally an ordinary regiment commander stationed in Chengyang, but now he has become the supreme commander of the safe zone there. Is this true?" Xiao Jin looked a little excited.

"What's so strange about this? The original highest commander of Chengyang Military Sub-district was promoted by my grandfather. The family arranged him there so that he could be looked after and have a chance to perform so that he could get a promotion." Lan Shuang said with a look of jealousy.

"The Second Young Master has become the supreme commander of the safe zone. Doesn't that mean he has the final say over the entire safe zone?" Xiao Jin said.

"That's not certain. It's only now. It's hard to say whether he can keep this position." Lan Shuang frowned. She remembered that her eldest brother had mentioned to her before that the highest commander of Chengyang Military Sub-district had close ties with their family, but he was younger than their father. Although he might give her cousin a chance to be promoted, it was obviously impossible for him to give up his position to him just because of their friendship under such circumstances.

"." Xiao Jin felt a little strange, as if the young lady didn't think highly of the second young master.

"Then shall we go to Chengyang? The Second Young Master's people have left their contact information. If we go to Chengyang together, they will transfer some people to protect the young lady." Xiao Jin asked.

"No, my mother was always at odds with my second aunt during her lifetime, and she has never liked me. Chengyang is my second aunt's hometown, and my second brother was able to get to the top probably with the help of my second aunt's family. I don't want to go there and have to face their faces." Lan Shuang said firmly.

"But Miss, the remaining forces of our Lan family that were previously dispersed have all moved to Chengyang." Xiao Jin said softly.

"Why? When did this happen? Why didn't they stay in the capital and go to Chengyang?" Lan Shuang said angrily.

When she got angry, her breathing became uneven and her face turned red and she was gasping for breath.

"Miss, don't be anxious. Drink some water and take your time." Xiao Jin poured a cup of warm water from the thermos on the table and handed it to her, slowly helping her to calm down.

"Miss, our Lan family is finished in the capital. Now the second young master is the hope for the Lan family's rebirth. They chose to assist the second young master in order to make the Lan family stand up again." Xiao Jin said with a gentle expression.

"What about me? Who am I?" Lan Shuang shouted angrily.

"Is it because Xiang Fangqian took me away that the remaining forces of our Lan family failed to find me? If they had found me first, perhaps they would not have gone looking for my cousin?" Lan Shuang mentioned Xiang Fangqian in a resentful tone, as if it was because of him that she had ruined her good deeds.

"Miss, at that time, the remaining forces of the Lan family were busy taking care of themselves, so how could they have the time to save you? If it weren't for Captain Fang's rescue, we would have died in that accident long ago." Xiao Jin said helplessly.

Although the Second Young Master's letter was written in an obscure way, Xiao Jin could still make out some of its meaning.

In fact, it would be the best choice for the young lady to stay with Captain Fang. Unfortunately, the young lady likes to be lively and is unwilling to stay with Captain Fang in the remote mountain area. She only wants to return to the capital!
