"Come back to take care of me?" Lan Chongzhou chewed the word in his mouth, as if he wanted to chew it up and swallow it.
He sneered: "I said she was not allowed to go home before, and now I want her to come back and serve Lan Yuanzhou, why is the second brother so cold-hearted! So stubborn, cough, cough, cough..."
"Where's the second brother? I'm going to find him. I will never let Yunyi work as a cow or horse in Lan's house again." Lan Chongzhou stood up holding the square table.
"It's in the Fifth Young Master's courtyard. Just walk through the corridor and you'll be there." When the boy heard Lan Chongzhou's angry tone, he bent down and didn't dare to express his anger.
Ah Hao hurriedly supported him.
The sun has not yet risen, and it is pitch black in front of him. He only relies on the waiter's dangling lantern. Lan Chongzhou is walking in a hurry. Ah Hao is helping him walk through the corridor in a hurry, but he does not pay attention to his steps.
Suddenly, Ah Hao seemed to have stepped on some debris on the sole of his foot, making a "hiss..." sound and taking a breath of cold air.
"Ah Hao? What's wrong?" Lan Chongzhou slowly stopped.
"No...nothing!" Ahao was afraid that his master would be worried, but he gritted his teeth and waved his hand calmly.
It's just that I stepped on a broken piece of porcelain, and it will be fine after I pull it out.
After hearing this, Lan Chongzhou continued walking forward.
——————
As soon as Lan Chongzhou arrived at the yard, he saw Lan Yuanzhou covered in rashes and red, twisting and turning on the bed. The servants were feeding medicine to the side, but they didn't feed any medicine.
Lan Yuanzhou's whole body was hot, like a ball of fire. He was half-awake, as if he had lost consciousness, but he was shouting loudly one after another.
"Yunyi, my body feels so itchy, it hurts so much, and I feel so scared. Where are you? Yunyi, where are you? My brother misses you so much..."
Lan Chongzhou couldn't help but feel sad when he heard his bitter pleas. He slowly lowered his eyes and didn't look at him, but didn't say a word.
"Chongzhou, since Yuan Zhou is so ill, you should call Yunyi back to take care of him. She is familiar with you, so it should be okay to stay in Lan Mansion for half a month." Lan Bojian looked a little tired and helpless.
Open your mouth and say.
He originally thought that Lan Chongzhou would be extremely happy when he learned that Lan Yunyi could come back and stay for ten days and a half, but unexpectedly, Lan Chongzhou had a sarcastic smile on his face.
"What happens to Lan Yuanzhou is his business. Lan Yunyi deserves to be the one he is today? Second brother, is your sister born to serve others?"
"How dare you ask her to go home to take care of Lan Yuanzhou!"
"I allowed her to go home for half a month. It's already very forgiving. Chongzhou, I'm very tired and have a lot of things to do. You know all of this. After not seeing each other for a few days, you have become as mischievous as Yuan Zhou. Can you
Do you know something?"
Lan Bojian pressed his eyebrows. He didn't understand how his fourth brother, who could have been on his own, had become like this.
Lan Chongzhou smiled at him silently, his smile a little bitter.
This desolate look of being neither a man nor a ghost lit a fire in Lan Bojian's chest, and his voice was even more anxious than ever before.
"Don't you see what Yuan Zhou has become now? Are you still following Lan Yunyi's mischief? You have made yourself look like a human being and a ghost. You have disappointed me so much!"
"I am half-human and half-ghost, but some people have become ghosts and don't know it. It's you who caused me to look like this, it's the Lan family who caused it, it has nothing to do with Yunyi. Second brother."
He gave a low cry and turned around slowly to leave, regardless of Lan Bojian's expression.
Looking at his second brother, he thought of his past self and everyone in the Lan Mansion. They were all innocent.
Lan Bojian stared blankly at Lan Chongzhou's leaving figure. Lan Yuanzhou's vague murmur was still floating in his ears, and he shook his head silently.
He was angry just now, and he shouldn't be.
Lan Chongzhou just hasn't been sensible recently. When his third brother comes back and lectures him, everything will get better.
Chongzhou will become sensible again.
Everything he did was for the sake of the country and the people of the world, and they will understand it in the future.
————————
Lan Chongzhou and A Hao left the courtyard. Lan Chongzhou held A Hao's hand and returned to the place they had just passed. They passed the corridor of the mansion. On the left side of the corridor was a quiet lake.
The sky has turned white, and it is a misty white. There is still some water vapor in the air, which makes Lan Chongzhou's heart feel heavy.
"Master, the fifth young master slipped and fell into this lake last night. If it weren't for the young man who went out to relieve himself at night, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Ahao turned his head and looked at the calm lake, and suddenly sighed.
Lan Chongzhou closed his eyes, without any emotion in his eyes: "He is drunk every day, so he deserves to fall in."
"What happened to your foot just now? Ah Hao." Lan Chongzhou turned his head and looked at Ah Hao.
"It's just that they stepped on some broken pieces of porcelain. It doesn't matter. It's just that they don't know how to sweep. What will they do if they hurt you?"
Broken porcelain pieces?
Lan Chongzhou looked down and saw a few pieces of porcelain scattered in the corner on the ground, as if the flower pot had been broken. Not only were the porcelain pieces, but there was also mud on the ground, it looked like the traces had been dragged far away.
Lan Chongzhou slowly stopped. He knelt down and took out a piece of broken porcelain. Only then did Ah Hao look at it carefully.
There are actually dried blood stains on this porcelain piece!
"Did I just step on this blood?" Ah Hao was a little shocked. He had lost so much blood, how could he not know?
Lan Chongzhou's pale lips pursed into a straight line. He rolled up his sleeves, picked up the soil on the ground with his thin fingers, crushed it lightly, and put it to the tip of his nose to smell it.
"It's not your blood. The blood on it has dried up. There is also dried blood in the soil. It looks like it has been soaked in blood over time and has become like this."
He spread his palms expressionlessly and looked at the bright red soil crushed into powder on his fingers. His heart slowly sank, but his fingers were trembling a little.
The soil in the flower pot has been soaked with blood over time?
Ah Hao thought of the questions his master had asked him about the eldest lady a few days ago, and he shuddered for a moment and did not dare to speak.
"Ah Hao, go and check to see if anyone has lost anything in the courtyards of Lan Mansion, and then check where this potted flower... has been moved."
Lan Chongzhou ordered with a trembling voice. After a long silence, he continued: "Especially check... Wanru's yard."
"There is also the doctor who often treats Wanru. You should check his background."
"Yes, but that doctor has been treating everyone in the Lan family for more than ten years, does he still need to be checked?"
Ah Hao swallowed his saliva and asked.
"Yes, it's been more than ten years. How did Yunyi come here in these more than ten years?"
Lan Chongzhou stopped by the lake. He watched the sudden wind ripple the surface of the calm lake, but the bottom of the lake seemed to be turbulent, hiding some unknown and despicable secret.
He didn't dare to think about it. This chapter has been completed!
