Chapter 7 If you don't come back today, you will never come back
The sky gradually darkened, and he stood in the courtyard like a god of plague. In front of him was the closed door of Lan Mansion.
The weather was hot, and even though Lan Chongzhou had taken a bath in the evening, there were still big drops of sweat dripping down his gloomy face at this moment.
He always told the truth and no one dared to disobey him. Lan Yunyi's unusual behavior in the morning made him angry, but he was sure that Lan Yunyi would choose to return home because he had nowhere to go.
He would not let Lan Yunyi in so easily.
But it was already dark when Lan Chongzhou waited, and no one knocked on the door. The candles in the courtyard were heavily lit, making Lan Chongzhou's face extremely dark.
"This second young lady doesn't understand the rules too much. The eldest lady is still waiting for her to give her medicine."
"The second young master is preparing a dowry for her, and the fourth young master is personally waiting for her to come home at the door. The whole family treats her as an ancestor, what else is she dissatisfied with?"
The few waiters got annoyed and started talking among themselves while standing behind Lan Chongzhou.
Lan Chongzhou became even more upset when he heard this: Yes, the whole government regards her as an ancestor, why is she dissatisfied?
Just as he was about to turn his head and scold him, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock——"
"Knock knock knock——"
The knocking on the door was short and urgent, showing the eager and anxious heart of the person outside the door, which was especially clear on a hot and quiet summer night.
Lan Chongzhou listened, twitching his lips and smiling coldly.
The servants also felt a bit more contemptuous and complacent in their hearts: I just said it this morning, do you really think Lan Yunyi's bones are so hard?
Didn't you come back in despair now? The fourth young master was really angry with her, and he had to punish her.
Sure enough, Lan Chongzhou expressionlessly stopped the boy who was about to open the door, and said sarcastically: "Didn't I say that from now on the bridge will be the same as the bridge? Then why are you coming back?"
The sarcastic words were so cold that the boy trembled all over and stopped the movements of his hands.
"Knock knock knock——"
"Knock knock knock——"
The person outside the door was still knocking on the door desperately, and the knocking became more urgent and louder.
Lan Chongzhou waited for ten minutes before he nodded arrogantly and said, "Open the door and send the person into the ancestral hall. I want to teach him a lesson..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw a young man smelling of alcohol staggering in like a wild boar.
Not Lan Yunyi?
Lan Chongzhou was slightly startled, filled with anger as if he had punched cotton. The stalemate and tug-of-war a few minutes ago was actually his one-man show, and he felt inexplicably a little lost.
The young man wore a purple gold crown on his head, a gold, red and green robe, and a three-blue flowered long tassel tied around his waist. He was full of jewels.
Probably because he drank a lot of wine, his face was red and his body was unstable. He collapsed next to Lan Chongzhou's legs and groaned.
"Fifth Young Master...Fifth Young Master..."
Seeing that the person coming was Lan Yuanzhou, the fifth young master of his family, the boys rushed towards him and hurriedly helped him up.
Lan Chongzhou looked at the drunken boy collapsed next to him. He didn't care about how disappointed he was in his heart. His face became even worse. He pointed at Lan Yuanzhou's nose and cursed: "It's not like that!"
"Your young master is so drunk that you don't even have a servant to bring him back from Qin Lou Chu Pavilion?!"
Lan Chongzhou pulled away his feet in disgust, his chest rose and fell suddenly, he took a few steps back and scolded his servant.
When the servants heard Lan Chongzhou's furious scolding, they all knelt down again. Lan Yuanzhou, who had been lifted up, fell to the ground with a "plop".
"Master, please forgive me. In the past, when the fifth master got drunk, it was the second lady who went to find him and brought him back..."
Lan Yunyi, Lan Yunyi again!
Lan Chongzhou gasped in anger and kicked the boy in front of him hard. He didn't want to worry about Lan Yuanzhou anymore, so he turned around and left.
"Lock the door tonight and don't let Lan Yunyi enter the house!"
"Then do we still need to carry the fifth young master... into the ancestral hall and implement the family law?" The young man remembered Lan Chongzhou's previous instructions and asked timidly.
Lan Chongzhou was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that he had just ordered his servants to take Lan Yunyi into the ancestral hall for punishment.
With endless annoyance rising in his chest, he yelled: "Get out!"
If you don’t come back today, you will never come back.
Lan Yuanzhou, who was so drunk that he didn't know what was happening around him, still collapsed on the ground and muttered to himself.
"Lan Yunyi, Lan Yunyi!"
The servants thought Lan Yuanzhou had some instructions, so they endured the smell of alcohol and put their ears closer.
"Lan Yunyi, I have no money. Today... you go and pay off my credit card at Hongxiu Tower and then help me back."
"Lan Yunyi! Don't always control me, you will make me embarrassed in front of my brothers!"
The servants looked at Lan Yuanzhou's appearance and coaxed him helplessly: "She has severed ties with the Lan Mansion and will no longer be able to control you. Master, please rest assured!"
Lan Yuanzhou didn't understand at all, he just lay on the ground and howled: "Just bring the money, don't nag! Lan Yunyi, please sit far away and wait! Don't delay my brother and I from drinking!"
"Lan Yunyi, where's the hangover soup? Why are you so slow!!"
——————————
Lan Mansion is brightly lit all night.
"You said that the second brother is really preparing Lan Yunyi's dowry? What about the shops that Lan Yunyi used to run? Do you want to give it to him too?"
Lan Wanru was lying on the bed, listening to the report from her personal maid. Her small face was unpainted, looking weak and pitiful, but her eyes were wide open.
"Yes, the eldest young master and the second young master have always disliked gold and silver. They have repeatedly rebuked the second young lady for doing business because she smells like merchants. The second young master will definitely not leave those shops behind."
After hearing this, the nails on the quilt suddenly tightened, revealing her inner unwillingness.
If those shops were given to Lan Yunyi, what would happen to her wealth?
"No, I have to go find my second brother right away."
Qiaodie was not surprised when she heard this. She had known that her master was jealous of the shops run by the second lady.
Especially the famous Wufangzhai, where the pastries are sweet and soft, and the fruits of various colors are shaped into the shapes of small animals, which looks lifelike.
The emperor in the palace also brought Concubine Zhen to Wufangzhai for a private visit, which became a legend.
It’s enough for the second young lady to leave the house. How can we take these shops with us?
Lan Wanru has been frail and sick since she was a child. Qiaodie knew that she was going out, so she took a cloak made of light gauze and was about to put it on Lan Wanru, but Lan Wanru raised her hand to stop her.
She sat in front of the dressing table, carefully applied two layers of white powder on her face, smeared the ends of her eyes red with rouge, and finally pulled out the hairpin on her head.
All the threads were gone, his face was pale, his whole body was haggard, his eyes were red, and he looked like he had been crying.
"That's it, let's go."
Lan Wanru looked down at the thin middle coat on her body and smiled slightly.
Whether it's a dowry or a shop, she has a way to prevent Lan Yunyi from getting what she wants. This chapter has been completed!
