Chapter 189 - Plot Under Way (2/2)

“It’s nothing!” Lan You Nian said with a smile and then glared with her wide eyes at An San, “Don’t tell Xuan!” After suffering from the poison from many years, her body was seriously deficit, so as soon as winter came, she became very weak, but she didn’t want Xuan, who was far away at the borders, to worry.

“This subordinate…” An San wanted to refute, but seeing Lan You Nian’s expression, she fearfully shrank her neck, saying “This subordinate knows!” After staying by Lan You Nian’s side for some time, An San understood Lan You Nian’s temper. If she didn’t agree, she will probably be directly sent back to Ming wang manor.

“Oh right Nian’er, tomorrow we need to go Prime Minister manor to give our condolences for the passing of Prime Minister madame. As General Manor’s legitimate daughter, do you need to go?” Yue Bai Lian asked. Because she’s reached an agreement with Feng Xia Qi, she showed more concern for the matters in the capital.

Lan You Nian, hearing this, glanced at Lan Qu. Lan Qu comprehended and said “Lan manor did indeed receive an invite. Will young miss be going tomorrow?” Actually, Lan Qu didn’t wish her young miss to attend some dead person’s funeral. With such cold temperatures- young miss’s body wasn’t that good-it would be terrible if she got cold.

“Go, why wouldn’t I go?” Lan You Nian said. Even if she said she didn’t want to go, that didn’t mean she could do as she wished. She was currently managing the Lan manor household. If she didn’t go, wasn’t it allowing other people to gossip about their Lan manor for no reason?

Yue Bai Lian looked at Lan You Nian and then said “I’m going tomorrow too!”

Lan You Nian didn’t say anything, just nodded. Yue Bai Lian was no longer her subordinate. She should have her own ideas and her own life.

After Yue Bai Lian left, Lan You Nian had Lan Qu and the others all withdraw. She slept on the couch Feng Yi Xuan usually slept on. It seemed like Feng Yi Xuan’s scent was still on there, for Lan You Nian peacefully slept on the couch and shut her eyes.

Meanwhile, at this moment, Feng Yi Xuan was similarly full of longing. The wind at the borders was very cold and piercing, but Feng Yi Xuan only wore a thin, black outer robe as he read the booklet in his hands. At this moment An Yi came in, “Master, a letter from the manor!”

Feng Yi Xuan tossed aside the booklet in his hand. It was only at this moment that warmth will appear in his eyes. The letter urgently sent from the capital every day wasn’t anything important, only An San wrote about Lan You Nian’s everyday life into the letter so Feng Yi Xuan can see, letting Feng Yi Xuan feel he was by Lan You Nian’s side.

The letter said Lan You Nian was still afraid of drinking her medicine. When Feng Yi Xuan saw this, he couldn’t help the smile at tugged at his lips. He could already imagine Nian Nian’s troubled expression as she drank the medicine, but at the same time, he felt distressed; drinking such bitter medicine, Nian Nian will definitely feel terrible.

An Yi watched his master who was sitting there looking at the letter for a long time without putting it down and knew master was once again starting to miss the matriarch. Ever since master came to the border, every day he appeared cold, making people not dare to approach, but every day when he saw the letter from the capital, master will become so gentle.

“I heard Jiangnan’s candied fruit is the most fragrant and sweet?” Feng yi Xuan put away the letter in his hand, suddenly asking An Yi who pretended to be invisible.

An Yi was startled for a moment, not understanding why master will suddenly ask this, though it was true Jiangnan’s candied fruit was the best.

“Yes, Jiangnan’s candied fruit is the best, but not many are made and isn’t supplied to areas outside. Only some official and trade families are able to eat it!” An Yi replied. As a shadow guard, a guard, and master’s right and left arm, An Yi knew about a lot of things.

“Have Ghost Realm’s people go to Jiangnan to get some candied fruit and send it over to Nian Nian!” Feng Yi Xuan ordered. The medicine, though bitter, Feng Yi Xuan knew he must have Nian Nian continue to drink it. This was for the good of Nian Nian’s health, so he won’t indulge her. But thinking of Nian Nian drinking such bitter medicine, Feng Yi Xuan felt there was a better way, so Feng Yi Xuan thought of candied fruit. That way, after drinking the medicine, it can get rid of the bitterness in one’s mouth, making Lan You Nian feel a little better.

“Yes!” An Yi immediately sent the message to Ghost Realm, though he couldn’t help complaining mentally, which one of their Ghost Realm’s assassins didn’t go out to kill people and such things, when did they have to run such a long way just to get some candied fruit? Sure enough, master didn’t care about anything else when it considered the matriarch.
