The carriage stopped, breaking the oppressive atmosphere in the carriage and Lan Jian Jun’s pale complexion.

Lan You Nian, slim and graceful, stood in front of the gates of Lan Manor. In front of the broad and wide Lan Manor’s gates, was erected a majestic stone lion that seemed to be guarding the manor. Above the door hung several lanterns, giving off a faint light in the darkness. Standing in front of the gates were many of Lan Manor’s servants and maidservants and some of Lan Jian Jun’s trusted subordinates he brought back, in all totaling a few hundred.

“Master!” The several hundred people knelt on the ground. Towards this Lan Manor’s real master’s return was clearly respectful but also fearful.

“Get up!” That face of Lan Jian Jun’s was particularly frosty, looking at these servants, thinking about his daughter had suffered so many grievances during which he was totally unaware, Lan Jian Jun itched to drag all these people out to be killed.

“Nian’er, we’ve come home!” Lan Jian Jun didn’t look at An yiniang and the others once but dotingly looked at Lan You Nian.

Because of Lan Jian Jun’s words, everyone looked at the girl who stood there with a veil. Even if she was young but had her own certain kind of elegance. When the housekeeper saw Lan You Nian, it was like seeing a ghost. How could this be? Isn’t third young miss dead? Is she a person or a ghost?

“Master, this is third young miss? In this world, there are many people who want to rise up higher.Master, you must reconsider ah!” The housekeeper’s first reaction was that this person was fake. It certainly is not that third young miss who died falling down the cliff, so he wanted to expose this person’s fake identity.

“Would I not even recognize my own daughter? This is my Lan Manor’s third young miss, I, Lan Jian Jun’s, legitimate daughter!” Lan Jian Jun ignored the housekeeper’s instigation. Instead, under such circumstances, announced Lan You Nian’s identity, even more, representative of Lan You Nian’s return. The servants of the manor could faintly feel that this Lan Manor’s sky was going to change.

The manor’s servants have not acted yet while those subordinates who followed Lan Jian Jun back squarely knelt down, “Greetings to the young miss!”. Their master is Lan Jian Jun, now Lan Jian Jun was expressing his own attitude, even more, was saying this daughter’s importance to him. So, the loyal subordinates from this moment also regarded this general’s daughter as a small master.

Everything that Lan Jian Jun did was perhaps showing off his might for her, but she, Lan You Nian, didn’t have any trace of being emotionally moved. Lan You Nian lifted those pair of eyes that were comparable to the stars to look at the manor’s servants. Clearly, there was nothing in those pair of eyes, but those servants standing there felt their own necks were pressed that they were breathless and suffocating. One knelt down, then one after another knelt down until those servants with the housekeeper all knelt down.

Lan Jian Jun looked at his daughter with shock. The imposing manner on his daughter’s body from moments before were even more extreme than his own, a general’s. For so many years, where did daughter go? And had to undergo what?

“Alright, go in!” Lan Jian Jun took Lan Mo Xian and Lan You Nian into the manor, followed by An yiniang and others, and then the family servants and others all entered the manor.

Lan Jian Jun sat in the hall’s most top maroon red chair. Sitting on the left side was warm like the sun Lan Mo Xian. Sitting on the right was the cold like snow Lan You Nian, secondly followed by An yiniang‘s group of four. Even if she was vomiting blood in her heart, but she also knew that she right now was only a concubine. So many years, Lan Jian Jun isn’t in the manor, He Xiao Ran died in the early years, Lan You Nian’s disappearance has made An yiniang already regard herself as the lady of the house. However, her dreams had only gone halfway before being beaten back by reality.

“Uncle* Lan, in the future you are Lan Manor’s head housekeeper, managing all the chores within Lan Manor!” Lan Jian Jun looked at the original housekeeper deeply, his eyes flashed with killing intent! Not only pulled the wool over his eyes about Nian’er disappearance, but also dared to lie, and every month’s letter that said Nian’er was well, wasn’t it this good housekeeper?
