Chapter 24 Return (2/2)

“Tutor He”

The people in the hall seeing him arrive, all respectfully greeted him. Don’t look at Tutor He who seemingly doesn’t have any power, but he was not only the Emperor’s teacher, but he was also the teacher to the emperor’s father. His character was incorruptible and straightforward. There were many disciples under him and he was very highly regarded by the Emperor.

Lan Jian Jun seeing Tutor He, hurried over, respectfully bowed “Father in law!”, while Lan Mo Xian also respectfully called out “Grandfather”

Tutor He upon seeing Lan Jian Jun, thought of the daughter who passed away in years earlier, and that pitiful granddaughter of his who has disappeared, don’t know if she was dead or alive.The elegant elder suddenly became enraged.

“General Lan, this old man can’t afford your call of father in law. When Xiao Ran died, this old man never blamed you, but now Nian’er has been missing for so many years, don’t know if she’s dead or alive, you-the father-where have you been!?” Tutor He‘s voice caused the whole hall to quiet down.

Lan Jian Jun’s body slightly swayed and in a trembling voice asked, “Father in law, what are you saying? How could Nian’er be missing for many years?”

Lan Mo Xian was also shocked as he looked to his grandfather, hoping this was all false.

“Do you think this old man will lie to you? Nian’er has been missing five years ago and you are pretending to not know!” Tutor He cried with red eyes. His poor granddaughter, he didn’t know if she was still alive.

Lan Jian Jun’s whole body was like it was paralyzed. At this moment, An yiniang who just entered the hall heard Tutor He‘s words completely panicked and rushed over to Lan Jian Jun.

“Master!” An yiniang supported Lan Jian Jun and cried out in horror.

“Tell me, has Nian’er been missing for five years! Tell me!” Lan Jian Jun threw off An yiniang‘s arms, demanded impatiently.

“Of course not, how could third young miss be missing for five years?” An yiniang explained.

Lan Jian Jun sighed in relief, as long as nothing happened to his daughter, “Then where is Nian’er?” Lan Jian Jun didn’t even look at the two daughters and one son and searched amongst the crowd.

“Master, after this concubine found out master was returning to the capital, sent people to bring third young miss back” An yiniang took out a kerchief to wipe her tears and stuttered out “But on the way back, the third miss encountered robbers, the third young miss, unfortunately, received injuries and passed on.”

“What did you say? Say it again!” Lan Mo Xian grabbed An yiniang’s clothes, ground out through clenched teeth.

“Master, it’s all this concubine’s fault, it’s all this concubine’s mistake!” An yiniang seemed to be very guilty.

“General Lan, Nian’er has been missing for five years, do you still believe this woman?” Tutor He asked grievously.

Although Lan Jian Jun was a rough person, it didn’t mean he didn’t understand anything. He already believed Tutor He‘s words, knew that his daughter has already been missing five years ago, who knows if she was dead or alive. And this definitely cannot escape any relation with this woman! What has he done!

Lan Jian Jun seemed to have aged a lot, while Lan Mo Xian was even more convinced of grandfather’s words, channeled his energy, planning to end An yiniang there and now, even Lan Jian Jun felt killing intent towards An yiniang.

“Grandfather” A gentle voice came from the direction of the hall entrance. The gentle tones of an elegant lady, regardless of whose ear it fell into, would subconsciously give one a good impression of the girl.
