embroidered bed

Through the pure white drapery, one could see a pure white, carved embroidered bed. On the opposite side of the bed was a dressing table decorated with a colorful mosaic of enamel shells; it was beautiful beyond compare, very eye-catching. On either side of the dressing table were two embroidered silk cloth hanging on the wall, both were embroidered with red spider lilies, tender and moving, against the white background. The left side of the room was separated by a screen, but a zither and lute were still visible.

Lan You Nian in a white muslin dress sat next to the zither, currently cleansing her hands and burning incense, preparing to play a piece of music.

“Young miss” Lan Feng stood outside the screen with a cold face. Usually when young miss was quietly playing, if they had nothing important, they would not disturb, instead, they would simply listen to the beautiful music quietly.

“Come in and sit” the sound of a crisp and soft voice came from within the screen. All four of them walked in and sat in the corner.

“What’s happened?” Lan You Nian set aside her desire to play some music and regarded the several people. Lan Wu couldn’t hide her thoughts, her eyes seemed to be on fire. Although Lan Feng and others didn’t look any different from usual, Lan You could still discern their gloomy mood.

“Young miss, a message came from the capital city saying General Lan won the war, is now currently on the way back to the capital and would arrive in the capital within the next few days.” Lan Qu’s temper was usually the steadiest, but at this time, speaking of their young miss’s irresponsible father, couldn’t help feeling unfair for young miss.

“Oh?” Lan You Nian’s slim jade hand plucked the strings of the zither.

“(Dong)” The sound of the zither carrying killing intent suddenly sounded. Speaking of which, it seems that she has yet to see this so-called father, although she knew the appearance from the memory of her predecessor.

“The Emperor is holding a celebration feast for Ming wang and General Lan and others. The invitation included Lan manor’s third young lady who has been outside for many years, that is, young miss yourself.” Lan Qu frowned as she reported the news from the capital.

“Isn’t Lan manor’s third young miss already dead? Don’t know how An yiniang plans to bring a dead person back?” Lan You Nian scoffed.

“Young miss!” Four people exclaimed in displeasure. They didn’t like young miss saying the word “dead”. Young miss was so amazing and unique, only those people didn’t have eyes. If it were not for young miss ordering them not to touch them, they would have long since used the power in the capital to kill those people.

“Alright, alright, will your family’s young miss die so easily?”
