Chapter 122 Birthday (2/2)
Suddenly she felt her body was a lot more relaxed.Lan You Nian that the predecessor’s resentment has left.She now knew her father still loved her.She really is a kind girl.
“Why don’t you guess when this girl was being abused, what she was thinking?When I was being chased, what was I thinking?When I was at the cliff, what was she longing for?” When she was better off dead, what did she resent?” Lan You Nian spat every single word out.
“I…” Lan Jian Jun suddenly didn’t dare think about it, nor did he dare to listen.He stretched out his wide but calloused hands, pulling Lan You Nian’s cold small hands, but no words escaped.
“I was thinking, why does everyone call General Lan as a hero?Why, as your daughter, it is so painful?” Lan You Nian said without any trace of affection.She glanced at the hand being held by Lan Jian Jun but didn’t avoid it.
“Sorry,” Lan Jian Jun said guiltily, “Sorry, it’s all father’s fault!”
Lan You Nian saw Lan Jian Jun’s red eyes saw the one everyone praised as general shed tears in front of her, saw his face gradually age, saw his eyes filled with guilt, saw him, because of anguish, shake.
“I forgive you!” Lan You Nian smiled.She didn’t want to hate this desolate man because of her predecessor’s matters.
Lan Jian Jun looked at Lan You Nian incredulously, then held Lan You Nian tightly, murmuring, “Father….”
“I understand!” Lan You Nian said. She understood Lan Jian Jun’s love for He Xiao Ran so wasn’t able to accept some things.Now she accepted this body, this man has done a good job of his role as father, she didn’t want to pursue this matter anymore.
Waiting for Lan Jian Jun to calm down, he kept looking at Lan You Nian, one moment saying, “Nian’er, why are you so thin?” A while later, he would say, “Why are your clothes so plain?”
“I want to know the matters between you and An yiniang, let’s talk about it?” Lan You Nian interrupted Lan Jian Jun’s ramblings.She didn’t expect such a serious man will rattle on like an elderly old lady.She didn’t know whether accepting this father was right or wrong.
Lan Jian Jun put away his feelings, recalling and telling the matters of the past…
He and his wife He Xiao Ran were childhood sweethearts and were still deeply in love.Even if they were married for many years, they still didn’t have children.Lan Jian Jun felt this wasn’t important.Later, seeing how his wife seemed to be melancholy because of the problem of children, Lan Jian Jun saw with his eyes and was anxious inside.
Later, his subordinate, who was also his friend of many years, died on the battlefield, his wife also let go not long after, leaving a few years old child behind.Lan Jian Jun pitied this child.He felt this child was good, and without any parents, summing it all up, he welcomed Lan Mo Xian into the manor, recognizing him as his own son, becoming Lan manor’s legitimate heir, granting his wife’s wish.
Sure enough, from then on, his wife was much happier, her mood was much better.Mo Xian this child was very smart and sensible.He and his wife really were fond of him.The two regarded Mo Xian as their own son.At that time, their family of three was in perfect harmony.
But at a banquet, Lan Jian Jun saved a woman who almost fell into the lake.He didn’t think too much about it; he just thought he was simply lending a hand.But he didn’t expect for An yiniang to have some other ideas about him.
Later, whether it was the Empress or the Prime Minister, they all pressured him to marry An yiniang as a wife, but Lan Jian Jun never agreed.Later, An yiniang was willing to enter Lan manor as a concubine.This stirred the entire capital.But Lan Jian Jun only loved He Xiao Ran.How could he let An yiniang enter the manor?
The Prime Minister’s suppression, as well as the Empress’s provocation, did not force Lan Jian Jun into an agreement.But he never thought that Empress’s faction would poison Xiao Ran.He could only watch as his wife was tormented by the pain but was unable to do anything about it.
Later, An yiniang found him and said that she knew what poison the Empress gave Xiao Ran.As long as he let her enter the manor, she will steal the antidote.
Lan Jian Jun felt lost at the time, so he told this to his wife.Xiao Ran couldn’t bear to see him so upset, and she was reluctant to die, so in desperation, he agreed to An yiniang’s request.An yiniang was brought into the manor, he got half of the antidote to save his wife, the other half would only be given when An yiniang was pregnant with child.
But Lan Jian Jun never touched An yiniang.Every time that he was supposed to be doing it with An yiniang, he gave her a drug and then let a death guard it.Xiao Ran knew about it, so Xiao Ran wasn’t upset when An yiniang got pregnant.
When An yiniang was pregnant with her first child, he finally got the whole antidote.In the following days, he and his wife and Mo Xian still lived the same life.An yiniang was like an invisible person in Lan manor, no one took notice of her, nor did he allow An yiniang to meet with Xiao Ran.
As for the later two children, that was due to being forced to by Prime Minister An as well as the old madame’s interference, so he allowed the death guards to do that stuff.He simply thought that if An yiniang knew her place, he would simply think of it as raising a few idle people in Lan manor.
When he learned Xiao Ran was pregnant, Lan Jian Jun felt everything was perfect.They always discussed that it must be a girl in her belly.Xiao Ran always said over and over again how she was going to pamper their daughter, always reminded him and Mo Xian to protect that girl but when he saw his newborn daughter, he lost his beloved woman.
When his daughter was young, her eyebrows carried shadows of Xiao Ran, her temper was as gentle and soft as Xiao Ran, so Lan Jian Jun didn’t dare nor did he want to look.He can only compensate this daughter with material things, but this was where he was wrong.Now he really regretted why he didn’t protect their daughter.
After listening to Lan Jian Jun’s story, she sighed and found herself being held in a warm embrace, thinking this man really came in time.
Glancing at Lan Jian Jun who was already in a drunken stupor, Lan You Nian intrusted Zhang Lin to send him back to his courtyard.
“You really think Lan manor is your own residence?” Lan You Nian laughed.
Feng Yi Xuan opened the closet, finding Lan You Nian’s sleeping robes putting them behind the screen, then brought him some hot water, asked, “Aren’t I marrying into Lan manor? It’s best to get used to it!”
Lan You Nian was speechless.It seems that she once said that she won’t marry, Feng Yi Xuan had put it to heart, he actually wants to marry into Lan manor, this man, there’s no way for her not to love him.
