Chapter 21 The young lady is so calm, why do they feel a little uneasy?
"Our people were discovered by Mo Liyuan's people."
Jiang Lao cursed, "Waste!"
"Elder Jiang, the Left Protector is seriously injured, but Mo Liyuan is also injured."
Elder Jiang was stunned and narrowed his eyes, "Mo Liyuan is injured?"
The man nodded. Jiang Lao closed his eyes and thought for a long time. "Notify the rest of the people immediately and retreat immediately."
The man was stunned. "Master Jiang, are we not looking for the holy object anymore?"
"Humph! It's all exposed. Left Protector injured Mo Liyuan. How could Mo Liyuan let this go?"
"But the wizard calculated that the holy object is in Dongyao Country."
Jiang Lao waved his hand and said, "Retreat immediately and go back to consult the wizard before making plans."
Wuguohou Mansion
Lan Lingrou had just returned, and Yun Qing worriedly asked, "Rou'er, you're finally back. Are you okay? I heard spies have entered Xiangguo Temple."
Lan Lingrou shook her head and bowed slightly, "Father, Mother, I'm fine. It was my eldest sister who was kidnapped by that female spy."
Yun Qing looked at Lan Xiyue behind her with a worried look on her face, "Yueyue, are you hurt anywhere?"
Lan Xiyue shrugged, "I'm fine. That's all right. I'll just go back and rest."
Lan Zhenrong scolded, "Lan Xiyue, what's your attitude?"
Lan Xiyue turned around and looked at Lan Zhenrong calmly, "What's my attitude?"
Yun Qing tugged at Lan Zhenrong's sleeve and said, "Master, Yueyue must be frightened. Let her go back and rest first!"
Lan Zhenrong snorted, "She's usually fearless, how could she be frightened? I think she's very brave, how could she look frightened?"
Lan Xiyue turned and left.
"This evil girl is becoming more and more unruly. I'll hire a governess to teach her some manners."
Yun Qing nodded. "Yueyue is used to being spontaneous. It's time to hire a nanny to teach her some proper manners."
Lan Zhenrong patted the back of Yun Qing's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work over the years."
Yun Qing shook her head, "Master, these are what I should do."

Xilingyuan
Lan Xiyue lazily lay on the small couch and breathed a sigh of relief, "Chuchun, make me something delicious tonight. These past few days at Xiangguo Temple, I've been eating vegetables and tofu, tofu and vegetables. I've been dreaming of vegetables chasing me."
Chu Xia covered her mouth and chuckled softly, jokingly saying, "Miss, didn't you say that the vegetarian food at Xiangguo Temple is pretty good?"
Lan Xiyue tilted her head slightly, a sly look flashing in her eyes: "It's not bad, but if you eat it every day, every meal, you'll get tired of it."
Upon hearing this, Chuchun asked gently, "What would you like to eat tonight, Miss? I'll prepare it in advance."
Lan Xiyue barely hesitated for a moment before blurting out, "Braised fish, braised spare ribs, braised pork elbow, and roasted chicken!"
Chu Xia heard this, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. She couldn't help laughing and said, "Miss, you have only been in Xiangguo Temple for three days, not three years!"
Lan Xiyue, however, didn't take it seriously. She raised her chin in a carefree manner and said, "What do you know? Life is short, so enjoy it while you can. Eat and drink when you should, and that's the only way to make the most of this short life."
Upon hearing this, Chuchun also smiled brightly: "Miss, aren't you afraid of getting fat? Every rich lady in the boudoir controls her diet for fear of gaining weight."
Lan Xiyue glanced at the two girls, her eyes full of confidence: "This young lady has an exclusive secret method for losing weight. I won't put on weight. Besides, if you want to lose weight healthily, you can't just rely on diet control. You two shouldn't control your diet either. If you gain weight, this young lady will help you lose weight. No matter how thin you want, I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Chu Xia heard this and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious: "Miss, you are just bragging. You think you can lose weight to any extent? I don't believe it. I heard that the daughter of the Qian family in the capital is over 300 pounds and can't lose weight no matter what she tries!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue suddenly sat up from the couch, "What did you say? Which daughter of Mr. Qian's family? Humph, you don't believe me? Very good, you just said that the daughter of Mr. Qian's family is over 300 pounds? Tomorrow I will go and help her lose weight!"
Chu Xia was stunned when she heard this. She scratched her head and looked confused: "Ah? Miss, you are not kidding, right?"
Lan Xiyue said seriously, "Do I look like someone who would joke around?"
"Miss, although the Qian family is a merchant family, they are very wealthy. Mr. Qian dotes on Miss Qian and treats her like a jewel in his palm. If you really help her lose weight, if something goes wrong, you will be in big trouble." Chu Xia talked about this topic with annoyance.
Lan Xiyue glanced at her lightly, a confident smile on her lips: "Don't worry, your lady knows her limits. Since she said it's okay, then it must be okay."
Seeing this, Chuchun gently pulled Chuxia's sleeve, signaling her not to say anything more.
The two looked at each other, and Chuchun pulled Chuxia out.
"It's still early, why are you pulling me here? Why don't you help persuade the young lady?" Chu Xia was puzzled and frowned.
Chuchun stopped and gently tapped Chuxia's forehead. "Have you seen the young lady's temper? The more we try to dissuade her, the more excited she becomes. If we don't mention it, she might just forget about it."
Chu Xia touched her forehead where she had been hit, "That's right! The young lady doesn't even know Miss Qian."
Not long after, Chuchun and Chuxia returned to Lan Xiyue's residence angrily. Chuxia even lowered her head, looking aggrieved.
Lan Xiyue was sitting by the window in a daze. When she heard footsteps, she looked up and asked, "You're back so soon. What happened?"
"Miss!"
"explain!"
Chuchun bit her lower lip lightly, as if she was considering her words, and finally spoke: "Miss, the kitchen manager said that the food supply is very low in the mansion today, so she only allowed us to take some vegetables and radishes to make do."
Chuxia's eyes were red, tears welling up in them, and her voice was choked with sobs: "There were still many dishes in the kitchen, and I was so angry that I argued with the housekeeper. But she...the housekeeper slapped me." As she spoke, she raised her head, and the palm print on her face was clearly visible, which made people feel pity.
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue's face instantly darkened, and a barely perceptible chill flashed in her eyes.
"Chuchun, go get a basin of cold water and apply a facial mask to Chuxia."
Upon hearing this, Chuchun nodded quickly, turned around and walked out of the room quickly. After a while, she came back with a basin of cold water freshly drawn from the well.
Chu Xia muttered, with a hint of self-blame in her voice: "Miss, I'm thick-skinned and it's okay, but you won't have meat to eat tonight. I can only inconvenience you. This month's salary has been spent, and we don't have money to go out and buy you delicious food. If you want to eat meat, why don't you go to the front hall tonight and have dinner with the master and others!"
Lan Xiyue said calmly, "No, I can't eat just looking at them."
Chuchun and Chuxia were both stunned when they heard this. They looked at each other. Why was the young lady so calm and not angry? Why did they feel a little uneasy?
