Chapter 336 That very night, the Lan family erupted in screams like pigs being slaughtered.
The little dumpling instinctively wanted to hide the scars on her body; she didn't want her father and brother Ling to see them.
When Ke Ling Buqi took her pulse, he noticed quite a few things, but he didn't say anything.
As for Tang Bugui, he had only heard about the hardships the little dumpling had endured from Tang Qi and Wang Xiuer.
"You little rascal..." Tang Bugui looked at Su Yun, who stood up for Xiao Su Bao, with a hint of admiration in his eyes!
It seems a bit unfair to give such a straightforward and protective girl to that chubby boy.
Tang Bugui looked at Su Yun and, ignoring all the other useless talk, said to Su Yun, "I was sorry to Xiao Su Bao before, but I won't do it again. I promise you!"
Su Yun was taken aback, clearly not expecting Tang Bugui to have seen through her little scheme. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she felt a little embarrassed...
The little girl turned to look at Xiao Su Bao, whose eyes were wet and looked like she was about to cry again...
Su Yun was startled and quickly and carefully supported the little girl, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Little Su Bao, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have blamed your father. It's my fault, don't cry!" Su Yun said anxiously, holding little Su Bao.
Little Su Bao sniffed, rubbed her eyes, and shook her head.
She had seen too much overwhelming coldness before, but since coming to Tangjia Village, everyone she met seemed to have become a good person!
She held Su Yun's hand and, by the dim light, said with a slightly nasal tone, "Sister Su is fine. Su Bao is just too happy and couldn't help but cry..."
"Phew...that's good. I was afraid you'd think I was meddling. As for Lin Xi'er in the past...never mind, let's not talk about those things." Su Yun used to take care of Lin Xi'er, treating her like a younger sister.
However, on one occasion, she helped Lin Xier beat up an older sister who was bullying Lin Xier, and Lin Xier was later punished by her own father.
Lin Xier came to find her, saying it was all Su Yun's fault. If Su Yun hadn't meddled, she wouldn't have been punished by her father.
"Sister Su, what are you carrying? Why don't you put it down first..." Little Su Bao couldn't help but say to Su Yun.
After all, the little dumpling hadn't seen it yet, but now that they were closer, they realized that Su Yun was carrying a huge bundle on his back.
Su Yun was taken aback; she had completely forgotten about this.
The little girl chuckled and then reached out and pulled the huge package over.
"These are all the prey I hunted today..."
Su Yun's eyes held a hint of joy, and she looked even more proud.
"I thought we might have to sleep outside tonight, so these food supplies will definitely come in handy!" Su Yun said with a smile, opening the bundle.
Inside, each item was wrapped tightly in oil paper.
As soon as you open it, you can smell the aroma of braised meat.
Worried that Xiao Su Bao might misunderstand, Su Yun said, "Last time, my dad and the others bought a lot of meat, and Aunt Qian gave us some of the broth. I couldn't bear to throw it away, so I added some salt and cooked some meat..."
Little Su Bao was taken aback, not expecting Sister Su to do such a thing, but she knew about it anyway, so it wasn't a big deal.
The broth from this braised meat loses its flavor over time, but I'm not worried about others taking it and using it.
Moreover, their pork undergoes various processes to remove any unpleasant odor.
"This meat isn't as good as what you cook, but nobody cares about that in the military camp," Su Yun said with a smile.
Just as she finished speaking, she heard her stomach rumbling loudly and repeatedly...
"Miss Su is a lifesaver! I was just about to ask someone to get me some food!"
Ling Buqi wasn't afraid of losing face. He scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed, and said, "I'll buy all this meat! I wonder how much it will cost?"
Su Yun was taken aback, but quickly waved her hand: "No need for money. This was originally brought for Su Bao to eat. You are Su Bao's family, so of course you can eat with her!"
She knew that Xiao Su Bao got hungry easily and had a bigger appetite than most people, so she was worried that Xiao Su Bao wouldn't have enough to eat and brought extra food with her.
After all, the feeling of being hungry is not pleasant...
Hearing Su Yun repeatedly calling him "Su Bao" and "little sister," the guard Ling suddenly felt a little...
This woman is great!
"This is braised rabbit, this is braised venison..." Su Yun carefully opened the oil paper package.
Little Su Bao's eyes are getting brighter and brighter...
Her happy eyes crinkled into crescents, instantly bringing joy to anyone who saw her.
Meanwhile, in the capital city...
A major incident has occurred at the Crown Prince's residence!
Lan Xin'er wasn't so happy about the future Crown Prince's residence.
She didn't know why, but ever since Xiao Su Bao 'died,' she had been incredibly unlucky.
The affair of the wife at home was suppressed, but the Lan father and son did not sit idle.
Lord Lan practically emptied his storeroom in preparation for Lan Shuyu's wedding!
Back then, Lan Daren didn't have much money to begin with, and what he had at home wasn't all brought by Lin Xi.
Lan Feng gave all the things he didn't want to Lan Shuyu.
The Lan family's life became difficult. Because Lord Lan had not managed the household properly and had caused so much trouble, the emperor simply fined him a year's salary.
In the past, this year's salary wouldn't have been anything special.
But things are completely different now; the entire Lan family now depends on Lord Lan for their livelihood.
Since he had no salary, Master Lan simply borrowed some silver from his students.
As for the Lan family...
He simply ignored it and sent a message directly to Old Madam Lan, instructing that all household expenses be paid from Old Madam Lan's account.
Old Madam Lan had no choice but to do it, because if she pushed Lord Lan too far, he might send her to the nunnery on the mountain...
"Sir, it's already late at night. Aren't you going home?" A minor official looked at Lord Lan and couldn't help but ask.
Lord Lan sat in the restaurant, drinking and listening to music, feeling much more at ease than before.
"I'm not going!" Lord Lan was quite drunk; only in this way could he forget the troubles at home.
"My lord, my lord, the Crown Prince requests that you personally go to the Crown Prince's residence to bring the Second Miss back!" At this moment, a servant from the Lan family hurriedly came to find them.
Lord Lan frowned slightly, and when he raised his eyes, his gaze was slightly dazed.
Second Miss?
Is it Lan Xin'er?
Yes, I have a daughter, but lately every time she looks at me, her eyes are full of resentment!
"If she wasn't at home, why would she go to the Crown Prince's residence?" Lord Lan frowned slightly, his eyes, still slightly drunk, filled with confusion.
For some reason, ever since Xiao Su Bao disappeared, the Lan family seems to have changed!
He didn't know what had changed, but he always felt that something was different.
The servant dared not speak out of turn, and only said, "I don't know anything about these matters, you should go back first!"
Lord Lan swayed and had his servants help him to his feet.
The junior official standing nearby immediately breathed a sigh of relief. His wife was a shrew, and these past few days, he had been drinking with Lord Lan every day and had already been beaten by her several times!
If this continues, he's really doomed!
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lord Lan being taken away.
Even though the Lan family has been having some bad luck lately, Lan Xin'er is the future Crown Princess, a marriage bestowed by the Emperor and Empress. No one dares to look down on Lord Lan.
Lord Lan got into the carriage and drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile, Lan Feng, who was sleeping at home, was also frowned upon by the news from the Crown Prince.
What is Lan Xin'er up to now?
He used to have a good impression of his younger sister, and because of Lan Shuyu's death, he also placed some of his affection on Lan Xiner.
The carriage creaked and groaned as it arrived outside the Crown Prince's residence.
The Crown Prince's residence is usually occupied by some of the Crown Prince's advisors, as well as some maids and eunuchs.
Under normal circumstances, the crown prince resides in the palace...
"My lord, we've arrived!" A servant glanced outside and said to the sleeping Lord Lan.
Lord Lan opened his eyes groggily and was helped off the carriage.
I just came down and ran into Lan Feng...
"Son..." Lord Lan approached his son somewhat ingratiatingly.
Lan Feng said coldly, "Father, if you drink again, I will tell someone not to lend you any more money!"
Lord Lan touched his nose, about to speak, when the side gate of the Crown Prince's residence was pushed open.
The guards had already notified the people inside when they came down.
The chief steward of the Crown Prince's residence hurriedly came out, a strange look on his face.
"Greetings, Lord Lan, young Lord Lan!" He clasped his hands in a fist salute to the two men.
"Lord Wang, there's no need for such formalities. May I ask where my daughter is now?"
After taking a nap, the cool breeze sobered him up considerably.
“They’re inside!” Manager Wang said, looking at the two people.
Lan Xin'er is really annoying. She started crying as soon as she arrived and cried for a full hour.
Then it was just eating and sleeping!
She said she was scared and wanted to sleep in the prince's room, otherwise she couldn't sleep...
It took Steward Wang a lot of effort to persuade her to stop, but Lan Xin'er cried for another hour.
She pretended to be hungry and acted pitiful, which eventually caused chaos in the Crown Prince's residence.
Because of her status, she has to go here one minute and there the next!
When Steward Wang looked at Lord Lan, he immediately smelled the alcohol on him.
"Lord Lan, Miss Lan the Second has a lively personality, quite unlike you..."
He was just saying it casually, but somehow, when he looked at it, he realized something was wrong.
Lan Feng and Lord Lan look about 60% alike, especially since they are both very good-looking, and their eyes are almost identical.
As for Lan Xin'er, she is not as good-looking as Lan Shuyu was back then, and she is not even a tenth as beautiful as Lord Lan.
Calling her a girl from a modest family seems a bit...
The Lan family... is really in a mess!
Manager Wang suppressed his doubts and led Lord Lan and the others inside to find Lan Xin'er.
At this moment, Lan Xin'er was lounging on the chaise lounge outside the Crown Prince's bedroom.
She was sleeping in a completely unseemly manner, with drool drooling out of her mouth.
And he even grinds his teeth and talks in his sleep!
"Your Highness, Xin'er loves you!"
"I am the Crown Princess...you must all listen to me..."
Lan Xin'er even mentioned these things in her dreams...
Upon hearing this, Lord Lan instantly sobered up completely!
Lan Xin'er is really crazy!
Make others listen to her!
Don't they even know where they are? And...
"Mother, we're out of money... Mother, Father doesn't love Xin'er anymore..."
"Mother, look for... Uncle, I..."
Lord Lan's expression changed, and he was about to step forward when Lan Feng grabbed his hand.
He has experience with this kind of thing.
After all, he had already written a divorce agreement to the Bai family...
He glanced at his own father, pursed his lips, and said, "Wait, let's see what else she has to say!"
Manager Wang's usually calm eyes twitched violently twice.
It should be noted that while the Lan family's affairs may not be universally known, those in real power are aware of them.
Now they're listening to what the future Crown Princess is saying...
Manager Wang kept his eyes down, pretending not to understand anything.
Fortunately, I had already driven away the maids here. Thank goodness.
Having thought of this, Steward Wang decided that he would still need to talk to the Crown Prince about this matter later.
The women in the Lan family are sick...
Leaving aside the fact that Lan Shuyu was framed, and that her mother died young, things were all alright.
But Old Madam Lan, and Madam Lan...
And Lanfeng's wife...
Suppressing the twitching at the corner of his mouth, Steward Wang finally lowered his head, his shoulders trembling for a moment.
At that moment, Lan Xin'er was probably too relaxed because she was full.
She actually farted, muttering, "Father is useless, I want Uncle Chen, he's the one..."
Lord Lan's face was gloomy, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
He felt like he was being cuckolded!
Lan Feng didn't like his father much to begin with, but now he felt a sense of shared misfortune...
Seeing Lord Lan's face full of resentment, Lan Feng stepped forward and said, "I'll go back with you!"
Lord Lan raised his eyes and looked at his son.
"good!"
That very night, the Lan family emitted a series of screams, like pigs being slaughtered.
Madam Lan lay on the ground, her face deathly pale.
The three Lan brothers and Lan Xin'er knelt to the side, trembling.
Even the seriously ill Old Madam Lan came out, her expression extremely strange.
"Mother, save me!" Madam Lan looked up at Old Madam Lan pitifully.
Old Madam Lan felt a pang of heartache and couldn't help but glare at her son.
"Lan Junyi, what exactly do you want? This is your wife. You come back and beat her without even asking what happened. What kind of behavior is this? Have you wasted all your education?"
Lan Junyi is the full name of the university professor, but it has been a long time since anyone has called him by his name.
Lan Junyi's eyes reddened slightly as he looked at his mother with a hint of coldness in them.
He hadn't wanted to marry this woman back then; it was his mother who went to great lengths to make him marry her.
He even went so far as to force himself to drink alcohol and take drugs so that he and Madam Lan could consummate their relationship.
“Little Zhou is your own niece, Mother. I just want to ask you, am I really your biological son?” Lan Junyi asked through gritted teeth, staring at Old Madam Lan.
Old Madam Lan's hand gripping the chair stiffened slightly, but only for a moment before she stared coldly at Lan Junyi.
"What nonsense are you talking about? If I'm not your mother, who else could I be? Why are you acting so crazy today?"
Madam Lan coughed twice and looked at Lan Junyi with displeasure.
Lan Feng stood to the side, seemingly lost in thought.
