Seeing that his master trusted him so much, Xiao Lingzi patted his chest and raised his eyebrows proudly:
"Isn't she just a rude and unreasonable little girl? What can she do? If she dares to cause trouble for the prince, I will make her suffer."
Ah Cai pursed her lips and continued:
"Don't exaggerate. That little girl is the daughter of the current leader of the martial arts world. She must have been spoiled. You tried not to discipline her, but she disciplined you instead."
Ah Cai's words made Xiao Shuangzi and the others smile secretly.
Leng Yu saw these people joking here and waved his hand:
"Okay, everyone go back and rest. We have important things to do tomorrow."
After hearing what he said, Xiao Lingzi and the others retreated. After Leng Yu closed the door, the place became quiet again.
However, Luo Lan felt uneasy that night, and she didn't know whether it was because of Long Xiaomin's appearance or because they were ambushed on the way.
In the early morning, Longwu Villa was extremely lively because the arena for the martial arts conference was set up at the entrance of Longwu Villa.
When Luo Lan woke up, Leng Yu was no longer by her side. Touching the slightly cool bed beside her, she could feel that he had been up for at least an hour.
Ah Cai came in with a copper basin, wet a towel, and said:
"Princess, I will wash you up. Let's go out and see what's going on. I heard that the fighting has already started outside."
So early?
Luo Lan sat up from the bed, stretched out her body, took the towel from Ah Cai, wiped her hands gently, and asked:
"Where is the prince?"
"I don't know. He left early in the morning."
"Where's Hong?"
"I went to watch the fun. I guess I'll be back soon."
As soon as Ah Cai finished speaking, Ah Hong came running back in a hurry. Seeing her sweating profusely, Luo Lan couldn't help but ask:
\"What excitement did you see?\"
Ah Hong simply shook her head and waved her hands, "It's just some little tricks. I can beat them down if I go up there. It's better not to watch."
"The best is yet to come. This is just the opening scene. What are you busy with?"
After saying that, she stood up and sat in front of the bronze mirror, waving her hand to signal Ah Hong to help her with her makeup.
"Let's go walk around the streets later. We should know what this place looks like after a visit."
Hearing that they were going out to the streets, Ah Cai nodded excitedly.
"Okay, I heard that the streets of Quancheng are full of martial arts masters, and some people are even performing on the streets."
"You are well-informed."
Luo Lan gave a helpless smile, and Ah Cai quickly replied:
"I also heard it from the maids in the mansion. By the way, I heard that the owner of Long Manor only has one son and one daughter. This daughter is the girl named Long Xiaomin from last night."
"No wonder."
Luo Lan nodded and suddenly realized: "Oh right, we just arrived, I should go visit Mrs. Long, I can't be impolite."
Ah Cai quickly replied:
"I heard from the servants in the mansion that Madam Long contracted a strange disease many years ago. Since then, she has been unconscious, with sore legs and unable to stand or walk. She has been lying in bed for many years. It seems that her status in the mansion is not high. It doesn't matter whether you go or not."
This news was indeed a bit surprising, but Luo Lan still said seriously:
"If that's the case, I should go and see her. After all, she is the wife of the owner of the manor."
"Well, even if she is the manor owner's wife, Manor Owner Long may not take her seriously. It is said that Manor Owner Long has three wives, but it's a pity that the other two have no children, otherwise, Mrs. Long's position would definitely be lost."
Hearing this, Luo Lan couldn't help but frowned and said softly:
"This relationship is quite complicated."
"It's even more complicated."
Ah Cai started to speak excitedly again,
"The second owner of Longwu Villa is even more powerful. He married five wives, but none of them gave birth to children for him. Now he wants to marry the sixth one."
Looking at Ah Cai's excited expression through the bronze mirror, Luo Lan smiled helplessly:
"You've heard so much in just one morning?"
"Of course, these girls will say anything if you give them a little sweetness."
Looking at Acai's smug look, Luo Lan suddenly felt that the five wives of the second owner were so pitiful.
It is obvious that it is the man's problem if he has married five wives but still cannot have children. However, it is ridiculous that he keeps trying to prove himself by getting married.
After Luo Lan finished packing, she resolutely went to see Mrs. Long. She always believed that the wife of the main house should be respected the most.
When she came in last night, it was a dark and windy night, and Luo Lan didn't have time to observe the place carefully. Now it seems that Longwu Villa is really too big. To be more precise, the area of this villa seems to be larger than Changliu Village where she lives.
After asking along the way, I finally found the courtyard where Mrs. Long lived.
This place is located at the innermost end of the villa. Maybe Mrs. Long likes quietness.
There were two maids guarding the door. When they saw her approaching, they hurriedly bowed and asked:
"What are you two doing here?"
Ah Cai took two steps forward and replied:
"This is Princess Yu. She wants to visit Madam Long. Please inform her, my two sisters."
Hearing the words "Princess Yu", the two little girls were obviously surprised, and one of them quickly turned around to report the news.
After a while, the little girl came out and bowed and replied:
"Madam, please come in."
Luo Lan smiled at her and asked Acai and Ahong to wait outside. She walked inside alone with her skirt lifted.
The interior layout of this house is very simple, just like the attire of an elderly person who has lived there for a long time.
Luo Lan peeked inside. The person inside heard the footsteps and asked softly:
"I heard Princess Yu is here?"
"It's me, hello, Mrs. Long."
After Luo Lan greeted her, he came to her, looked at Madam Long lying on the bed, and chuckled:
"I heard you weren't feeling well, so I came to see you."
Mrs. Long looked a little pale, but she didn't look like someone who had been bedridden for a long time. Her eyes were shrewd, but her expression was a little gloomy.
She said with a slightly apologetic tone:
"I'm not feeling well, so I can't get up to greet you. Please don't mind. Please take a seat."
Luo Lan nodded quickly and sat down on the round stool beside her bed. "It's okay. I'm sorry for bothering you. I should apologize to you."
"Princess Yu, you are too polite. Originally, since you and the prince have arrived, I should have gone to greet you, but you see, I can't move, so..."
At this point, Madam Long sighed sadly. Luo Lan hurriedly shook her head and consoled her:
"I heard that Madam Long is not feeling well. I know a little bit about medicine. Could I help you? Perhaps I can find out the cause of your illness?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Long was stunned for a moment, then shook her head in resistance.
"The princess is in a noble state. My humble illness is beyond cure, so I won't bother you."
