Chapter 32 Marry her off sooner rather than later
"Ha! Are you trying to scam me? Okay, I'll let you know how powerful I am." Lan Xiyue sneered, her tone containing a hint of disdain and mockery.
As soon as he finished speaking, the whip came out like a snake from a cave, drawing silver tracks in the air.
Seeing this, Wang Dayong was so scared that his face turned pale. He dodged and shouted at the same time, looking very funny.
Wherever the whip passed, the air seemed to be cut apart, leaving behind trails of whip shadows that were terrifying.
"Ah! Just you wait!" Wang Dayong was beaten and screamed. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore. He threw down a cruel word and ran away in embarrassment.
As soon as Wang Dayong ran, the surroundings became quiet.
Liang Ti looked at Lan Xiyue worriedly, her eyes full of worry: "Miss, what if he really goes to the government office?"
Lan Xiyue smiled lightly and put away the whip, "Nurse, I don't even care about him."
After that, she turned to Chuchun and Chuxia and said, "You support the nurse, we will go back first."
Upon hearing this, Chuchun and Chuxia hurried forward to support Nanny Liang, and the four of them walked towards the village entrance.
When they arrived at the village entrance, Lan Xiyue helped Nanny Liang into the carriage, and then she got in too.
The carriage started slowly and drove towards the capital.
After returning to the capital, Lan Xiyue did not go directly back to the Marquis' Mansion, but went to the pharmacy first.
She bought some medicinal herbs to treat the cold. As the sun set, it was already late when Lan Xiyue and her group returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
When they returned to Xilingyuan, the guards guarding the gate were no longer there. Lan Xiyue placed Nanny Liang in her previous room.
Nanny Liang had fallen into a deep sleep at this moment, her old face full of fatigue and anxiety, and her brows were furrowed.
Lan Xiyue turned and walked to the table, opened her bag, and picked out a few herbs she had bought from the pharmacy. "Chūchun, Chuxia, go and boil these herbs. Use three bowls of water to make one bowl of decoction."
Upon hearing this, Chuchun and Chuxia hurried away with the herbs.
Lan Xiyue picked up the silver needles bought from the pharmacy and disinfected them one by one.
Then he gave acupuncture to Madam Liang. As the silver needles penetrated into Madam Liang's body one by one, her breathing gradually stabilized and her frown gradually relaxed.
Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Lan Xiyue's forehead, but she was completely unaware and just concentrated on completing every movement in her hands.
After a long time, Lan Xiyue slowly put away the needle and breathed a sigh of relief.
Lan Xiyue sat aside to rest. After an unknown amount of time, Chu Xia came in with a bowl of medicine. "Miss, the medicine is ready."
Lan Xiyue nodded and said, "Well, feed it to the nurse."
Chuchun quickly helped Nanny Liang up, while Chuxia carefully fed her medicine.
The medicine slowly flowed down the corners of Madam Liang's mouth, and her complexion gradually improved a lot.
After feeding a bowl of medicine, Chu Xia looked at Lan Xiyue beside her, her eyes full of concern, "Miss, Madam Liang hasn't woken up yet. Do you want to find a doctor to check on her?"
Lan Xiyue waved her hand and said, "No need. The nurse has taken the medicine. Just let her have a good night's sleep and sweat. She will wake up tomorrow."
Chu Xia looked at the person on the bed and said, "Miss, I will sleep on the floor in Madam's room tonight and take care of her."
Xixiyue nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Chuxia."
Chu Xia smiled and said, "Miss always teases me."
A little maid hurried in and bowed, "Miss, the eldest young master is here."
When Lan Xiyue heard this, her eyelashes trembled and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
She stood up, her skirt fluttering, and slowly walked out the door. When she arrived at the side hall, as soon as she stepped over the threshold, she saw Lan Shenye's brows were furrowed, and his expression was full of worry.
"Yueyue, I heard that you were grounded again?" Lan Shenye's voice was low and gentle, but it could not hide the worry in it.
Lan Xiyue smiled lightly, as if the house arrest was just a harmless game.
She walked closer to Lan Shenye and sat beside him. "It's just a matter of falling out with her. It's not that easy to ground me."
Lan Shenye looked at his sister with an unhappy expression, "Sister, she is father's wife after all. If you go against her now, it will be bad for your reputation." There was a hint of helplessness and admonition in his tone.
Lan Xiyue heard this and a faint smile appeared on her lips. "Brother, my reputation is already like that, how much worse can it get?"
Lan Shenye heard this and took a deep breath, his eyes full of pity, "Sister, you are already sixteen years old, and it will be difficult to find a husband if you have a bad reputation."
Lan Xiyue raised her eyebrows, a hint of teasing flashing in her eyes.
"Then I won't get married. Brother, can you support me for the rest of my life?"
Hearing this, Lan Shenye caressed her hair lovingly, his eyes full of tenderness. "Brother can support you for the rest of your life, but Yueyue can't really stay single for the rest of her life."
After saying that, Lan Shenye thought for a moment, then asked again: "I heard that you went out today, what did you do today?"
"Go and bring the wet nurse back. She's having a hard time back home. She's been tortured beyond recognition by her man and is still sick." There was some anger in her voice.
When Lan Shenye heard this, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
"It seems Yueyue has really changed. Didn't you hate your wet nurse before?"
Lan Xiyue sighed, her eyes filled with regret. "Before, I believed the slander and treated the wet nurse like that. Now I'm not stupid anymore. I won't let others play tricks on me."
Upon hearing this, Lan Shenye nodded with relief.
"Yueyue has grown up now. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."
"Well, brother, can you help me find some medical books? I want to learn medicine."
"Okay, I'll go find you some medical books right away."
With Lan Shenye's departure, the side hall returned to peace again.
Lan Xiyue sat there quietly and smiled. The original owner's brother was really good. He stood on her side unconditionally. In such a big marquis' mansion, they were the only real relatives.
With her around, she will protect her brother and won't let him get hurt.
Inside the main courtyard, Yun Qing frowned, her eyes full of worry.
She looked at Lan Zhenrong who was slowly approaching from a distance and called out, "Master, you're back."
Lan Zhenrong has a tall and straight figure, a dignified face, and a steady pace.
He nodded slightly, glanced at Yun Qing, and asked, "Did anything happen in the mansion today?"
Yun Qing sighed softly upon hearing this. She lowered her brows and eyes, her tone filled with helplessness and worry. "Master, Yueyue is becoming more and more unreasonable. I specially sent a nanny to teach her etiquette today, but who would have thought that she would beat her up. When she came back, she was covered in scars. Sigh..."
Upon hearing this, Lan Zhenrong frowned even more tightly and his expression gradually darkened.
He pondered for a moment and said, "That evil girl is becoming even more outrageous."
Yun Qing continued speaking, her voice choking with sobs, "When I learned about this, I was furious, so I went to find Yueyue, wanting to have a good word with her. But she seemed like a completely different person. Not only did she not listen to my advice, she even started arguing with me. It was as if she had a deep hatred for me.
I had no choice but to order her to be confined to her room for reflection, hoping that would calm her down. But who would have thought that she would force herself out of the house today? I don’t know what she did there, and she only came back now. Master, I really can’t control her anymore.
After hearing this, Lan Zhenrong's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
He snorted coldly and said, "Don't bother with that evil girl. Let her do whatever she wants. She's so naughty and unruly. She'll be a nuisance if she stays in the mansion. Look for a man for her these few days. It doesn't matter if the family is a little lower. Marry her off sooner rather than later, so she won't be bothered by you."
Yun Qing's eyes flickered with a strange light when she heard this. She nodded slightly and said softly, "Master is right. I'll start looking for someone for her tomorrow. But Yueyue's temper is such that I'm afraid she'll make a scene again if she finds out."
Lan Zhenrong snorted coldly, "With her reputation, it's lucky that someone wants her. How dare she make a scene? When the time comes, we'll tie her up and put her in the bridal sedan. With her temper, if she continues to stay in the mansion, it will be a disgrace to our mansion. We should marry her off as soon as possible and pretend that this marquis doesn't have this daughter."
