Chapter 28 Before Returning to the Manor (2/2)
“Grandfather is already getting on in years, what criticism is there to be afraid of? How can grandfather let his good grandchild suffer grievances?” Although Tutor He was upright, but towards this lost granddaughter who was just found, still gave the sincerest doting of an elder.
“Grandfather, you, of course, are not afraid of criticism, but who knows how other people will say Nian’er meimei! Besides, Lan manor has grandson, grandson will not let Nian’er meimei suffer any grievances!” Lan Mo Xian supported Tutor He and said seriously. Before, he was young and weak so Nian’er meimei suffered bitterly. Now he has the ability to protect his own little sister.
“Well, good grandchild if you have any grievances come tell grandfather, understand?” Tutor He also knew that if Lan You Nian lived in his manor, it might not be appropriate, so can only agree.
“Thank you grandfather” Lan You Nian curtsied, then watched as Tutor He entrusted her for a long time before getting onto the carriage to return to He manor.
Lan Jian Jun looked at the daughter standing in front of him and suddenly didn’t know what to say. He actually didn’t have the experience of getting along with his children. Lan Mo Xian, he was completely hands-off with, not needing any concern, while the other children he had, he never concerned himself with, so right now General Lan who is courageous in the battlefield had some uneasiness.
Lan Mo Xian looked at the estranged looks between father and daughter and father’s uneasiness, so he opened a conversation “Nian’er meimei, do you still remember big brother?”
“Give regards to older brother!” Lan You Nian gave a greeting, then there was no more.
“Nian’er meimei, why do you wear a veil?” Actually, Lan Mo Xian wanted to ask from the start, but only had the opportunity to ask now. Lan Jian Jun was also puzzled why daughter wore a veil.
“Does older brother not know? Third little sister ruined her looks when she was little, I heard that the face is like a ghost!” Lan Ya Ya replied. Actually, at the banquet, they saw Lan You Nian always wore the veil and never took it off. Although before in the capital city spread rumors of Lan You Nian’s ruined looks, but they knew that was false.
So An yiniang let a palace maid go check during the banquet but was pleasantly surprised to learn that Lan You Nian’s looks were indeed ruined. That palace maid saw with her own two eyes. When An yiniang pondered on it, she believed that it was ruined from Lan You Nian’s fall from the cliff. This way, even if Lan You Nian had the position of legitimate daughter, she did not have anything to compete with her daughter.
How could An yiniang know that Lan You Nian deliberately made a scar on her face, and she also deliberately let the palace maid see it? The purpose was to make An yiniang complacent so the fall would be even more painful. And her own looks really were too beautiful, this was not a good thing, so it was best to cover it up.
“What?” Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian were shocked. They didn’t even know their daughter (younger sister) ‘s face was ruined. If she didn’t have any looks, how could she find a husband who they can entrust her life to in the future ah!
“Nian’er, this father will find the best doctor, Nian’er will definitely get better.” Lan Jian Jun gazed with heartache at Lan You Nian’s veil covered face.
“It’s nothing, General Lan does not have to bother!” Lan You Nian didn’t even look at Lan Jian Jun. Now he knew to feel heart-ache, so why when Lan You Nian was still alive didn’t he go pity? Too late!
