Chapter 05 Original Body’s Memories 1 (2/2)
The three people lived happily, but who knew what happened, Lan Jian Jun finally took concubines. Although it was only one woman, he truly did accept that woman into Lan manor.That woman was An yiniang.Speaking of An yiniang, she didn’t disappoint.In the few years of marriage, she gave Lan Jian Jun two daughters and one son, seemingly has some tricks up her sleeves.
Although Lan manor came one An yiniang, Lan Jian Jun never questioned about her and towards those three children he only possessed an indifferent attitude.It could not be compared to his treatment of the adopted Lan Mo Xian and towards He Xiao Ran was the same as ever.
But what was unexpected was, over many years of nursing back to health, He Xiao Ran became pregnant.This for Lan Jian Jun was very good news.He was even more careful towards the care of He Xiao Ran.But when He Xiao Ran was pregnant eight months, she suddenly prematurely gave birth.
After giving birth to Lan You Nian, when He Xiao Ran used up all her strength giving birth to Lan You Nian, she, unfortunately, passed away. Thus, Lan You Nian’s birthday was He Xiao Ran’s day of death, a death in exchange for new life.
However, Lan You Nian felt this incident was suspicious.How could a premature birth happen so suddenly?This matter had several questionable points. That An yiniang was absolutely suspect.
His wife’s departure made Lan Jian Jun full of resentment against the newly born Lan You Nian. He felt that Lan You Nian killed his beloved woman. Therefore, after the birth of Lan You Nian, although Lan Jian Jun made sure Lan You Nian was never materially lacking, he never went to look at this daughter.To her, he also held an attitude of indifference
In the ancient times’ inner compound, with no mother’s love and father’s protection, one can imagine how miserable Lan You Nian’s life was.The only person in the manor who protected Lan You Nian was the child big brother Lan Mo Xian.But Lan Mo Xian was just a child, how much could he protect her?
However, because of Lan Jian Jun, although An yiniang privately allowed the people in the manor to insult Lan You Nian, she did not dare to take Lan You Nian’s life.This is where Lan You Nian was fortunate.
But when Lan You Nian was five years old, with the war at the border urging, a royal decree was sent down.Lan Jian Jun was required to go to battle to protect Feng.Because Lan Mo Xian was the legitimate oldest son and also a male, Lan Jian Jun took Lan Mo Xian to the border to toughen him up. As for Lan manor’s Lan You Nian, Lan Jian Jun left several loyal caretakers and instructed An yiniang and the housekeeper to take good care of her, then left for the frontier.
Without Lan Jian Jun’s presence, and even Lan Mo Xian’s care, the entire Lan manor was under An yiniang‘s control.Towards this thorn in her eye, she considered Lan You Nian as an obstacle in her path.An yiniang got rid of the people Lan Jian Jun left to care for Lan You Nian, and even bribed the housekeeper.She beat Lan You Nian for no reason, didn’t allow her to eat good or wear warmly, and had her doing a servant’s work.
Outside, rumors even spread that Lan You Nian, Lan manor’s legitimate daughter, ruined her face due to mischievousness, becoming an ugly girl.At such a young age, Lan You Nian’s reputation was thoroughly ruined by An yiniang.In the capital city, even three-year-olds knew that Lan manor’s legitimate daughter Lan You Nian, was a mischievous and ugly girl, with absolutely no skills in the four arts.
