Master Ling was stunned for a moment, then stood up alertly, as if trying to escape, and said with a fist:

"Miss Lan Meng, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now. If we're destined to meet again tomorrow, we'll meet again."

"Master Ling, take care."

Since he didn't want to say more, she didn't ask any more questions. But why did a foreigner appear here?

Yilan County is located in the easternmost part of Daning State. Going further east and crossing the endless Ningyang River, you will reach Dongyang State, which is adjacent to Daning State. The people there do not contact outsiders and rarely have conflicts with other small countries. It is said that they rarely visit other countries.

Could it be that this Young Master Ling is from Dongyang? What is he doing here?

Luo Lan suddenly felt a little worried. The matter in Yilan County was already a bit confusing. If people from Dongyang Country got involved, it would be even more difficult to resolve.

Thinking of this, she suddenly became anxious. Ah Cai pushed the door open at this moment.

"My Lady, did Young Master Ling give you any trouble?"

"No, he listened to the music, said a few words and left."

"That's good. Just now, when I was outside the door, I was thinking that if he dared to bully you, I would be the first to rush in and kill him without caring about anything."

Luo Lan's mind was not on this, but he looked at A Cai with a serious expression.

"From what he just said, I seem to have heard that he is not from Daning Kingdom..."

"No way. He's not from Daning Country, but he showed up in Yilan County. So he's most likely from Dongyang Country. Dongyang Country has never had any dealings with other countries. What is he doing here?"

Luo Lan frowned and shook his head.

"I can't guess, and that's exactly what I'm worried about. If this Yilan County incident is related to him, then it will be even more difficult for my husband to investigate."

"Should we ask Ayu to watch him?"

"From the tone of his voice, we can tell that he's very skilled in martial arts. He might discover Ah Yu before he even gets close to her, which would be detrimental to our efforts in figuring out his identity."

"So what do we do now?"

Acai was obviously a little anxious.

Luo Lan frowned and pondered for a while, then shook his head.

"Please be patient for now. This is just my guess and has not been confirmed. Why should we worry about it?"

"Yes, I understand."

"How is Du Xiaoyue's matter arranged?"

When mentioning this, Ah Cai raised her eyebrows with great pride.

"Don't worry, Du Xiaoyue's virginity won't be sold for even one or two taels of silver tomorrow."

"Well, you did a great job. Did you say hello to Du Xiaoyue?"

"Yes, she did. She heard you were willing to help her and wanted to come and thank you, but I stopped her."

Luo Lan sighed softly with his eyebrows slightly moved.

"I don't need her gratitude. I just don't want to watch a decent woman being forced into prostitution. There are many cases like hers out there in corners we can't see. Our abilities are limited, so we should help as many as we can. It's just a good deed."

"Madam, you always think of others, but when do you ever think of yourself? I heard..."

At this point, Ah Cai bit her lips tightly, not knowing how to start.

Luo Lan anticipated that Ah Cai had something to say that she was reluctant to speak, so she simply said:

"Just say whatever you want to say, don't hesitate."

Ah Cai was stunned for a moment, then slowly spoke,

"I heard that Sister Feng brought back a man from the mine, his name is Liu Siye..."

Luo Lan's brows tightened, "So what?"

"Your Majesty is the fourth child, your surname is Liu..."

Luo Lan looked at her warily.

"What do you mean? This Fourth Master Liu is the emperor?"

Ah Cai bit her lip and shook her head.

"I'm not sure, that's just my guess."

"Why did she bring a man back?"

Ah Cai hesitated for a moment and whispered anxiously:

"I heard that every man sent to the mine has to pass through the eyes of this Fengjie. Those she likes will be taken away directly, and then... then sent back to the mine after a while. These men will lose all their energy while being taken away by her, and not many will survive in the end..."

Although Acai didn't say it explicitly, Luo Lan had already heard it.

It seems that this Fengjie is an extremely hungry woman.

After pondering for a while, she looked at herself in the bronze mirror, took off her earrings, and chuckled:

"Even if this Fourth Master Liu is the emperor, he would never do anything to let me down. I believe him."

"But……"

Ah Cai bit her lip, but couldn't help but say:

"I heard that Sister Feng can use all kinds of tricks. I'm worried..."

"alright."

Luo Lan waved his hand directly.

"No need to say more. I know who he is better than anyone else. You go ahead and do your work. I'm tired."

Acai suddenly felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have said that.

But she was really afraid that something might happen to the emperor, so she spoke too hastily.

She glanced at Luo Lan, bowed, and turned away.

The moment the door was closed, Luo Lan frowned slightly.

Although she believed that Leng Yu would never do anything to let her down, she still did not dare to underestimate Feng Jie's methods.

She can call the shots in Yilan County, so she must have her own unique qualities. If she wants to get Leng Yu, she will definitely use all kinds of tricks.

She suddenly felt a little uneasy, she was afraid that something might happen to Leng Yu.

As Ah Cai arrived at the door, she ran into Sister Hong, who waved her handkerchief and said to her:

"Acai, there's not enough firewood in the woodshed in the backyard. I heard you're strong, go chop some."

Let her chop firewood?

Ah Cai's anger rose in an instant. She put her hands on her hips and looked at Sister Hong.
