Chapter 128 Not a Liar
"My grandfather is out. Can you wait for me? Come in and have a cup of tea. I'll go find my grandfather. It will be quick." Lan Zhen said nervously, afraid that they would leave.
My grandfather and family have paid too much for the Lan family. Now, no matter whether what the other party said is true or not, we should give it a try. What if it is true?
This way everyone won’t have to work so hard.
"No need to go through so much trouble. Where is your grandfather? Just take us there." Jiang Yunxi said. Instead of waiting here, it would be better to hurry up and deal with the business.
Zhen Mingyue and the others should have arrived at the third room. I believe she will soon find something wrong.
So she has to hurry up.
But the master and senior brothers and sisters went.
In addition, Zhan Beiyuan asked Mu Yuan to take the soldiers over, so Zhen Mingyue couldn't escape even if she wanted to.
"Okay, I'll take you there." Lan Zhen was very willing. After she went into the yard and gave some instructions, she quickly took Jiang Yunxi and the others away.
Jiang Yunxi looked around as he walked. This was obviously the slum area of Jiangzhou.
The Lan family must have had a hard time over the past twenty years.
It would be difficult for anyone to accept that he was once so rich and powerful, but suddenly fell into such a state. As the old saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
However, seeing that the Lan family was not crushed by the misfortune and was still working hard to live, she admired this fighting spirit.
About a cup of tea later.
Lan Zhen brought Jiang Yunxi and the others to a spacious courtyard. They could smell the fragrance before they even entered. They must be cooking some delicious food inside. Is this the Lan family's current business?
"This is our workshop. We mainly make various kinds of delicious pastries. You can try them first and then decide whether you want to do business with us." Lan Zhen said with a simple face.
"Okay." Jiang Yunxi smiled. The other party was a sincere girl.
Lan Zhen took the three of them in.
The yard is not very big, but not small either. It is divided into several areas. It is well-organized and clean. At this time, everyone in the yard is busy.
"Grandfather." Lan Zhen walked towards an old man and called out with a sweet smile.
"Zhen'er, why are you here?" Lan Mingde looked at her with a kind and friendly smile.
Lan Zhen whispered, "Grandfather, three guests have arrived. They said they want to do big business with the Lan family and restore their former glory."
Lan Mingde was stunned at first, then he said with a smile: "Are you sure you didn't meet a scammer? It will be difficult for the Lan family to return to its original state."
It's not that he doesn't want to go back to the way things were.
But after so many years, he has accepted the fact that it is probably impossible to return to the former glory, but he will not let the Lan family decline and will continue to work hard.
"Grandpa, we are not liars." Jiang Yunxi smiled. It was normal for the other party to question.
A family that has been in decline for twenty years suddenly had someone say that it could return to its former glory. No one would believe it immediately after hearing this.
Lan Mingde looked at Jiang Yunxi and then at Zhan Beiyuan. Having lived a long life, he naturally had good judgment. It was obvious that the two young people, a man and a woman, were not ordinary people.
Then he looked at Zhen Zhibang.
"Mr. Zhen."
"Mr. Lan, her name is Jiang Yunxi, she is my sister's granddaughter and the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Yingguo. This is His Royal Highness Prince Han Zhan Beiyuan. They are here to help the Lan family." Zhen Zhibang stated his purpose.
Lan Mingde was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed deep shock.
No wonder he felt that they were of extraordinary status.
One is a noble prince.
One is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of England.
"Your humble servant greets King Han." Lan Mingde saluted quickly. He had heard of Zhan Beiyuan, but he never thought that one day he would be able to see him so closely.
Lan Zhen's eyes widened wider than copper bells. After realizing what was happening, she quickly saluted and said, "Greetings, King Han."
"We are here today to help the Lan family." Zhan Beiyuan said seriously. Looking at the Lan family's workshop, he really felt sorry for the Lan family. One of the three richest businessmen in Jiangzhou had fallen to this state.
"King Han, do you really want to help the Lan family? What has the Lan family done to deserve this..." Lan Mingde's eyes turned red with excitement. The Lan family had not had a good life in the past twenty years.
The Lan family was once very prosperous, but no one knew why all sorts of things happened twenty years ago, and eventually the Lan family collapsed.
This was something he had never thought of.
It really proves the saying that when people are really unlucky, even drinking water will get stuck in their teeth.
But he couldn't understand why the Lan family had such bad luck.
The Lan family’s ancestors had a rule that they should do more good deeds and help those in need, so the Lan family usually does good deeds and donates money to some poor people every month.
But the Lan family was still unlucky.
At first, he couldn't understand why the Lan family had been doing so many good things but still had such bad luck. Later, he stopped thinking about it. He had no time to be sad, so he could only stand up and continue to fight.
"Do you know why the Lan family suddenly declined twenty years ago?" Jiang Yunxi asked.
Lan Mingde sighed and shook his head. "I thought the Lan family had always been doing good things, but for some reason, bad luck suddenly struck. Accidents kept happening, and in the end, the Lan family couldn't bear it anymore and had to sell off their property."
He struggled back then, but ultimately failed to save the Lan family.
"That's because someone borrowed the Lan family's fortune. In other words, the Lan family's good luck has gone to someone else." Jiang Yunxi said it concisely and easily.
Lan Mingde's eyes widened in disbelief. "How could this be? I asked the master about this before, and he said there was nothing we could do. This is the end of the Lan family."
"Have you ever been close to the Mu family in the north of the city? The Mu family is now one of the three richest businessmen in Jiangzhou." Jiang Yunxi asked.
"The Lan family and the Mu family are not very close, but my wife used to have a good relationship with the old lady of the Mu family, and they always made plans to go out together." Lan Mingde thought for a while and said.
"The fortune of your Lan family must have been borrowed by the Mu family. When the Lan family falls, the Mu family rises." Jiang Yunxi said her guess, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence.
"How could this happen? We are all doing business. Aren't you afraid of retribution for using such dirty means?" Lan Mingde said angrily with a dark face, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.
If it is true as Miss Jiang said, the Mu family back then was really vicious.
How could such a heartless thing be done?
"Since the Mu family dared to do this, they must have made some preparations. Is your Lan family's old house still there?" Jiang Yunxi asked. The Mu family must have used the formation to borrow luck set up by the Lan family.
If you want to destroy the borrowed luck, you must first find the formation.
"In order to pay the compensation, we had to sell the old house." Lan Mingde said helplessly, his blood boiling. If Miss Jiang hadn't told him, he would probably never know why the Lan family was unlucky until his death.
"Has anyone bought it to live in?" Jiang Yunxi asked.
"No, the person who bought it turned it into an antique shop." Lan Mingde felt sad when he said this. That was the ancestral home of the Lan family. He would never sell it if he had not had to.
