Chapter 20 Making a Deal with Shi Yu
After Wei Qingyan had investigated the bandit's obsession, he opened his eyes and met the concerned gazes of several people.
Shi Yu was the first to react, "Miss Chang knows her?"
Of course Wei Qingyan knew Yan Lan.
But at this moment she is Chang Qingnian.
It could be a coincidence that Chang Qingnian knew the General of National Defense, but to also know Yan Lan meant that he treated Shi Yu as a fool.
She turned to Yan Lan with a calm expression.
Yan Lan was also looking at her. She was sure that she had never seen the woman who helped her.
But the kindness of saving them was real, so he bowed to them and took the initiative to say, "My name is Yan Lan. May I ask your names? I will repay you one day."
Last name Yan?
Shi Yu chewed over the word, then winked at Dong Zang.
Dong Zang understood, "It's just a matter of seeing injustice. Madam, don't worry about it. But you look seriously injured. I wonder which Yan family you are from? I can send someone to notify your family to pick you up."
The fact that his surname is Yan and General Wei cares so much about him must be related to Yan Qing.
A trace of grief flashed across Yan Lan's face. "Thank you for your kindness, warrior. I have no relatives at home."
Her mother died early, her father and the old general died in battle, her elder brother and Qingyan also died in battle, and now she is the only one left.
If not, how could her husband's family dare to treat her like that?
Dongzang felt a little guilty for touching upon the other person's sad past.
But not doing so would arouse General Wei's suspicion.
Unexpectedly, Jingzhe's voice rang out, "Are you Yanqing's sister?"
Yan Lan was slightly startled, "Do you know my brother?"
Jingzhe walked closer and pointed at his face, "I am Jingzhe from Rong Palace. When you gave Yan Qing the crispy meat, you also gave me a bag."
He and Yan Lan had only met once many years ago. After Yan Lan mentioned her name, he looked at her carefully, but he was a little uncertain. The face in his memory was round and cute, but now her cheeks were sunken due to her skinniness.
Yan Lan didn't have much impression of Jingzhe's face, but she did remember giving him the crispy meat.
She was still an unmarried girl at that time. Seeing that there was someone else next to her brother, she also handed over a packet, but she didn't dare to look directly at the man's face.
The other three people did not expect that Jingzhe had actually seen Yan Lan, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The identity is confirmed, no need to beat around the bush.
Dong Zang then asked, "Your Highness, since she is Yan Qing's sister, should we give her a ride?"
He sighed quietly in his heart, wondering when General Wei would recognize his prince.
Otherwise, he and Jingzhe might not be able to keep up their acting skills.
Yan Lan was indeed exhausted from running for her life, but thinking of the embarrassment she might face if she returned, she shook her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness..."
"Yan Qing and I are brothers. You are his sister, and you are also my sister. How can I just sit there and do nothing?" Jingzhe insisted.
"Besides, these bandits died here, and they need an explanation. My prince has a good relationship with General Wei and will definitely support you. Don't be afraid."
He also heard what the bandit had just said and guessed Yan Lan's concerns.
But if Yan Lan is bullied, General Wei will not ignore it. The prince will take care of whatever General Wei wants to take care of.
What's more, it is not convenient for General Wei to reveal his identity at this time, so his prince will have to show more.
Shi Yu nodded and said seriously, "I came here to pay my respects to General Wei, but was assassinated by a villain. My wife saved me, so I should send her off."
Yan Lan's eyes were red. It had been a long time since anyone had supported her.
She knew that Prince Rong was willing to intervene in her affairs out of respect for Qing Yan. If she refused, it would be ungrateful. "Thank you, Your Highness, Prince Rong, but please wait a moment."
She was busy escaping and didn't pay attention. It was only after hearing what King Rong said that she saw the tomb not far away.
She returned to Beijing to pay tribute to her father, brother and Qingyan.
Yan Lan knelt in front of the tomb of the Protector of the Nation General and kowtowed three times, "Qing Yan, I'm sorry, Yan Lan is late. From now on, Sister Lan will be in the capital, but I will come to see you often.
I wonder if you have seen my brother down there. If you have, Qingyan will help Yan Lan pass on a message to my brother: Lan'er is doing well, and I hope my brother rests in peace."
The soldiers who died in the battle of Huangshaling were buried on the spot by King Rong. Yan Lan only thought that his brother was also buried in Huangshaling and he was unable to go there to pay homage for the time being, so he made this statement.
There was murderous intent in Wei Qingyan's eyes.
How could she be at peace when her husband gave her to bandits and abused her by so many bandits?
Yan Qing and Yan Lan's father was once their father's bodyguard. Later, he followed his father to the battlefield, made military achievements, and became his father's deputy general.
When her father was choosing guards for her, Lieutenant General Yan brought Yan Qing to them.
There was no need for the deputy general's son to be her guard, but Deputy General Yan insisted. He said that he was raised by his father and could not forget his roots.
My father trusted the Yan family and was more optimistic about Yan Qing, so he kept her with her.
After Deputy General Yan died in battle, his father took Yan Lan to the Wei Mansion and raised her as a daughter of the Wei family.
Yan Lan got married out of her own Wei Mansion.
The man she married was Luo Chengzhou, the eldest son of the Linzhou prefect, whom her mother had arranged for her before her death.
On the day he came to the capital to pick up the bride, Luo Chengzhou promised her and Yan Qing that he would treat Yan Lan well.
That's how kind he was.
Wei Qingyan picked up the kneeling man and said, "If you don't go into the city for treatment, there will be no need for anyone to pass on your message. You can see your brother yourself."
There was still some uncontrollable anger in his words.
He didn't know whether he was angry with himself or Yan Lan, but Luo Chengzhou was already on Wei Qingyan's kill list.
Jingzhe reacted very quickly and drove the carriage over.
Yan Lan had already stretched herself to her limit and fainted as soon as she stood up.
Wei Qingyan brought her into the Anyuan Marquis Mansion.
The reason is that they are all women and easier to take care of.
Shi Yu also followed him into the Anyuan Marquis Mansion.
The reason was that Yan Lan was injured while saving him, so he had to put on a full show and even asked Dong Zang to bring his business card to invite the imperial physician over.
The old imperial physician took the patient's pulse and prescribed medicine, "These injuries are all external, and they will heal after a period of rest.
But she has been worrying for years and her health has been severely damaged. She has to figure it out on her own."
Wei Qingyan and the imperial physician thanked him.
My heart sank. Sister Lan had only been married for five years, but she was already suffering from depression...
After the imperial physician left the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion, Jingzhe also found out the information he needed to find out.
Luo Chengzhou brought Yan Lan back to Beijing to visit relatives and also wanted to find a job in the capital.
But he was robbed by bandits on the way.
Seeing that the guards he brought were no match for the bandits, Luo Chengzhou offered to hand Yan Lan over to the bandits in exchange for their departure.
Yan Lan had some skills, so she was unwilling to give in.
While she was fighting with the bandits, Luo Chengzhou withdrew all the guards and escaped with his mother and sister.
Combined with what those bandits said, I'm afraid Yan Lan was defeated and taken abducted to the mountain by them. I don't know how she escaped.
Jingzhe had a look of pity on his face, "Then I'm afraid the Luo family can't go back."
Then he became angry again, "Luo is such a scoundrel, he actually dared to abandon his wife."
"Who said we were going back?" Wei Qingyan said coldly, "Where is Luo Chengzhou now?"
"The Minister of War's Mansion." Jingzhe added, "Yan Lan's mother-in-law is Madam Wu's younger sister."
"Wu Yuchu?" Wei Qingyan uttered the name softly.
What a coincidence.
Jingzhe nodded, "It's him. Luo Chengzhou originally wanted to follow Wu Yuchu's path, but he didn't expect Wu Yuchu to die. Now he is trying to build connections in the capital."
Wei Qingyan pondered for a moment and looked at Shi Yu, "Your Highness, how about we make a deal?"
