Chapter 268 I really want to... explode again!
Lan Xiyue stroked her forehead gently and said slowly, "Uh... Brother, something unexpected happened last night. I didn't wake up until now. Things are not what you thought." After that, she looked up at Lan Shenye, her clear eyes full of sincerity and innocence.
When Lan Shenye heard this, the worries in his heart instantly surged like a tide. He looked up and down at Lan Xiyue worriedly, "What? What do you mean you didn't wake up until now? Yueyue, are you okay?" His tone was full of concern and anxiety.
Lan Xiyue waved her hand gently, a faint smile on her lips: "It's okay, it's okay. I actually turned a disaster into a blessing." Her eyes suddenly brightened, "I actually have internal strength now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Xiyue casually picked up the teacup on the table, took a deep breath, and mobilized her internal energy. The teacup shattered instantly under the influence of her internal energy, with fragments flying everywhere and making a crisp sound.
Lan Xiyue put the fragments on the table and took out a handkerchief from her bosom to wipe her hands.
Xiao Muzi rubbed his eyes when he saw this scene. The eldest lady is so powerful!
Seeing this, Lan Shenye's eyes flashed with surprise, "Yueyue, you... you have internal strength?"
Lan Xiyue nodded proudly and began to recount what happened last night. There wasn't much to say, except that she suddenly passed out during the day yesterday, and until today, Mo Liyuan and the others had been sending her internal energy. Now that she had absorbed the internal energy, she had become a master with great internal energy.
After listening to Lan Xiyue's story, Lan Shenye finally breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face. "Yueyue, go pack up. Let's go back to the Marquis' Mansion to see him. He is our father after all. Let's see what he wants from you."
Lan Xiyue frowned slightly when she heard this, "Brother, I'll go back, and you don't have to go back." I want to see what Lan Zhenrong wants to talk to me about.
Lan Shenye shook his head, his eyes full of worry: "Yueyue, why don't we go back and live there..." There was some hesitation and reluctance in his words.
However, before he could finish, Lan Xiyue interrupted him: "Brother, just rest and recuperate here. Your books have all been moved here. I'll buy you some more books later. You should study hard. I'm still looking forward to you taking the top spot in the imperial examination next year."
Xiao Muzi softly advised, "Young Master, just listen to the eldest lady. It's so nice to rest here. Going back to the Marquis' Mansion is full of troubles. It's not as quiet and peaceful as here."
Lan Shenye shook his head, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
Lan Xiyue heard this and gently waved her hand: "Brother, just listen to me. I'm going to go back and change clothes first and then go back to take a look. You just stay here and take good care of yourself until I come back."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran out without waiting for Lan Shenye to say anything else.
Lan Shenye looked at her back, feeling mixed emotions and some worry in his eyes, fearing that Yueyue would have a conflict with her father when she returned.
As Lan Xiyue appeared in the backyard, Chu Xia's surprise was beyond words. She almost jumped over, her voice filled with anxiety and relief: "Miss, you're back! We haven't seen you all night, and we were really worried."
Lan Xiyue chuckled and reached out to gently tap Chuxia's forehead. "What's there to worry about? I'm fine. Go, get some water. I need to take a shower and change clothes. I've sweated a lot and it's sticky and uncomfortable."
Chuxia rubbed her forehead that was hit and giggled: "There is always hot water in the kitchen. I'm afraid that the young lady will want to take a bath when she comes back. I'll go get some water now." After that, she turned around and left happily.
Lan Xiyue returned to the attic and went into the house to sit down.
After a while, Chuchun came in with a bowl of green mung bean soup. The soup was clear and exuded a light fragrance. "Miss, have a bowl of mung bean soup to quench your thirst."
Lan Xiyue took the mung bean soup and chuckled, "My Chunchun is so thoughtful." She picked up the spoon, stirred it gently, and took a sip. Mm, really good! This mung bean soup was chilled just right. It tasted cool and refreshing, instantly dispelling the heat from her body.
After finishing a bowl of mung bean soup, Chu Xia also walked in, "Miss, the water temperature has been adjusted, you can take a bath."
Lan Xiyue responded, stood up and walked to the bathroom beside her. She took off her clothes and got into the bathtub.
It was such a hot day and my body was sticky, but now I was surrounded by warm water and I felt comfortable all over.
After washing up, Lan Xiyue put on the clothes that Chuxia had prepared long ago. She used her internal energy to dry her wet long hair. It was really convenient to have internal energy.
Lan Xiyue returned to her room, sat in front of the dressing table, and let Chuchun comb her long hair.
Chuchun combed her hair while whispering, "Miss, I heard from people outside that the eldest prince, Mo Jicang, was kidnapped by a group of men in black. Now the imperial city is full of soldiers searching, and the whole city is in a panic."
Lan Xiyue frowned slightly when she heard this: "Oh? Mo Jicang was kidnapped by the men in black?"
Chu Xia interrupted and said, "Yes, Miss, I heard that those men in black are the remnants of King Xiaoyao. Now the imperial city is full of soldiers searching."
When Lan Xiyue heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little confused, but since it had nothing to do with her, she didn't think much about it.
After packing up, Lan Xiyue stood up and said, "Chu Xia, come back to the Marquis' Mansion with me."
After saying that, she took a step and walked out of the room, and Chu Xia hurriedly followed.
Arriving at the gate of the mansion, Chuxia walked quickly forward, called out to Xiao Denglong softly, and told her to prepare the carriage.
The little lantern came over as expected, working swiftly.
After the two of them got on the carriage and sat down, Little Lantern drove the carriage away.
Chu Xia couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "I don't know why the master is looking for the young lady. Xiao Muzi said it seemed like there was something urgent."
Lan Xiyue sneered, "What urgent matter could he have to ask me for? Anyway, it's not a good thing. Let's solve it once and for all today so that he won't bother me again."
"Miss, what if the master asks you to move back?" Chu Xia whispered.
Lan Xiyue heard this and a faint smile appeared on her lips, a smile that contained a hint of teasing and disdain. "I have no intention of returning since I moved out."
"Ah?" Chu Xia obviously didn't expect Lan Xiyue to be so direct. She was stunned for a moment and couldn't help scratching her head.
"If Lan Zhenrong takes a hard line, I will only get tougher. I'm not a pawn to be manipulated."
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Marquis's mansion. Lan Xiyue lifted the curtain and stepped out.
Her eyes fell on the newly renovated gate of the Marquis' Mansion, and her brows involuntarily frowned slightly.
"When was the gate of this mansion repaired?"
Chu Xia replied in a low voice: "Miss, General Yun sent a banknote to the master, and it was only repaired today."
"Uncle?" I really want to... explode again. Lan Zhenrong, you'd better not mess with me today, otherwise... Lan Xiyue curled up the corner of her mouth in a sneer.
