carved heart

Chapter 63
She asked: "If one day I stand in the way of your great cause, will you choose to get rid of me?"

Lu Lan knew that most of the nobles in Yongping liked people who knew how to measure, so she didn't care if they were left in the penthouse.

When she was taken away by Shangguan Shixin, she was a little worried, but she was completely relieved when she saw the black-faced gentleman appearing later.Mu Yanghou is so powerful that he dares to intercept her halfway, he must be sure.

Deng Zhong must have made a big move today, and Mu Yanghou's thoughts must be on his side.

Lu Lan poured tea by herself.

Tea is lukewarm.

She thought to herself that although Mu Yanghou's servants ignored her, they were still attentive to her.This penthouse may seem small, but everything is excellent.For example, the cup of tea that Lu Lan is drinking now, Lu Lan knows that it can be sold for ten taels of silver a catty in Yongping.

Thinking of this, Lu Lan felt that she should hug Mu Yanghou's golden leg tightly.

Compared with Deng Zhong's stinginess, it is much better.

Lu Lan thought of Ah Yin again, and her heart felt happy at this moment.So what if she hooked up with Shangguan Shixin, compared to Mu Yanghou, Shangguan Shixin is not worth mentioning at all.So what if you entered nuclear science, you still have to fight with the other seventeen nuclear carvers, and you have to wait until the five nuclear carvers in Yongping have vacancies to fill.Even if she breaks through the encirclement and becomes a nuclear carver in the palace, how can she compare to Mu Yanghou's shortcut?

In Mu Yanghou's mansion, being a slave can be majestic, not to mention that she has made contributions to Mu Yanghou now.

The night is getting darker.

It was so quiet outside the ear room that only the chirping of cicadas could be heard.

There is no window in the ear room, Lu Lan waited for half an hour, and gradually became sleepy.Too many things happened today, but no one expected such a turnaround.It was also at this time that there was a strange noise outside the silence.

Lu Lan's drowsiness was scared away.

She opened the door of the side room and leaned halfway out.

There used to be a locust tree in the courtyard, but now three or four lanterns painted with gold and flowers are hung on it, illuminating the locust tree beautifully.Seven or eight servants and two maidservants hurried through the courtyard with lamps on their hands. The servant at the front looked back and ordered: "Two, come and boil the hot water. Zhilan and Cuixin go to the kitchen to prepare the food." , the girl has a light taste, let the cook make a few dishes that the girl likes to eat. Yes, hang up the lantern quickly, there is no moonlight tonight, don’t let the girl fall when she walks. If the service is not good, everyone will go to receive the punishment. "

Everyone should be.

The man said again: "What else do you need to prepare? Hey, the girl came in such a hurry, I can't even turn my head around."

Cui Xin smiled and said: "The girl is always kind, she won't care about us if she doesn't serve her well."

The man blew his beard and stared at him and said: "Miss, please be kind. We are the current people, and it is our duty to serve our master well. The girl doesn't care about it, but the Marquis cares! That is the treasure of the Marquis!"

Lu Lan trembled all over.

Master Hou's favorite treasure?

Could it be that girl from the Li family from Qingzhou came over?Although Yongping didn't say anything clearly, the Holy Majesty did intend to point out the girl from the Li family to Mu Yanghou.The recent rumors are also like this. Mu Yanghou went to Qingzhou to accompany the Li family to worship ancestors, and he was still in Suizhou to pick silk for the Li family himself.

Everyone said that the girl from the Li family was the unmarried wife of Marquis Mu Yang.

only……

She has been in Suizhou for so long, if the girl from the Li family came over, Deng Zhong would definitely know about it.Could it be that Deng Zhong hid it from her?No, there is no value in hiding this matter.Could it be that the girl from the Li family really came to Suizhou quietly?

A trace of envy suddenly appeared in Lu Lan's heart.

Only envy not jealousy.

The girl from the Li family is different from the Yin family. She was born noble and has no possibility of comparison with herself, so she has no dissatisfaction or unwillingness. She only envies her for casting a good baby and easily obtaining everything she has worked hard for her whole life.

She walked out of the ear room, smiled at the lead servant, and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

The servant glanced at her, but frowned.

Lu Lan said: "I lived in Yongping for a while, and I'm also a big family. Although I'm not as good as the Li family, I know the rules. I also know how to cook light food. I was once praised by a noble lady. I'm good at cooking, and I cook exquisite food."

Mrs. Lu was the cook of a large family in Yongping. After her husband died, she happened to meet Deng Zhong, so she met Deng Zhong for food.

Lu Lan also changed her surname because of this.

The servant rolled his eyes and said suddenly: "Alright, follow along to the kitchen to see what you can do." He stroked his chin and pondered, "The girl doesn't seem to be very picky about food, she just figured out that she likes to eat. Light ones, maybe this time I will make something delicate?" Thinking of this, he said again: "You can cook it first, don't worry about the ingredients, just make the expensive ones, and let the girl pick them, and you will always be happy. "

Lu Lan responded.

The servant said again: "Zhilan, take her."

After Zhilan and Cuixin took Lu Lan away, the servant suddenly murmured: "Boss Ye is really efficient. He said yesterday that he sent a few maidservants with good hands and feet from Yongping, and they will be here today. No wonder you can To please the Marquis." Sure enough, he has to learn from Director Ye, so that he can climb up as soon as possible!Become a pivotal person in Mu Yanghou's mansion!
Thinking of this, the servant hurriedly ordered: "Don't be dazed, the carriage has arrived at the door, you, the last one, follow me to meet you. Manager Ye has gone to work today, and there must be no mistakes in this matter. Blame it, watch your head and mine! Go!"

Ah Yin got out of the carriage.

When the servant saw it, his heart skipped a beat.

In the past, he always had a gentle smile, but why is he so murderous today?He also swallowed, and said with a pleasant smile: "Girl..."

A Yin interrupted him and asked directly: "Is Lord Hou here?"

The servant said: "If you want to return to the girl, you are here. Please also ask the girl to come with me." Halfway, the servant racked his brains to please Ah Yin.However, the wording that had been prepared for a long time before was gone at this moment.

...Yes, I was completely intimidated by Ah Yin's face.

The servant had no choice but to swallow it back silently, and led A Yin all the way to the main hall.

Before reaching the main hall, Ah Yin met Yan Mo.

Yan Mo said: "Master Hou still has important matters to attend to." After a pause, he said again: "Lu Lan is over there, Master Hou said to let the girl handle it."

Ah Yin turned around quickly, just took two steps, and suddenly turned around.

"Yan Shen is back?"

Yan Mo was stunned for a moment, then answered honestly: "Yes."

Ah Yin said: "I understand." After saying that, he left without looking back.Yan Mo was still a little confused, what did she understand?
The servant looked at Yan Mo, and then at Ah Yin who had turned to leave, and he didn't know what to do.It wasn't until Yan Mo left that the servant came to his senses, and followed step by step, saying, "Who is the girl looking for?"

Who is Lu Lan?
Why didn't he know there was someone named Lu Lan here?
Ah Yin entered the courtyard, the lanterns on the locust tree were still bright, but it added a bit of loneliness in this dark night.Ah Yin asked, "Where is the man?" The servant was confused, and asked, "The girl said she wanted to find Lu Lan?"

Just at this time, the servant was startled, remembered, and said, "Madam, why don't you sit in the side pavilion for a while? The villain will bring Lu Lan here immediately."

Ayin nodded slightly.

The servant immediately ran to the kitchen in a hurry.

A number of copper lamps were lit in the stove, and the stove was also lit, and it was the smoke from the cooking.Lu Lan resorted to housekeeping skills, ready to surprise the girl from the Li family as soon as she ate it, and remember her from then on.She has always been self-aware, knowing that her family background is not good enough to be the main wife of a rich family.She doesn't mind, if it is Mu Yanghou, not to mention being a roommate, she is also willing to be a personal servant.

If she becomes a famous person beside Mu Yanghou, who else would dare to bully her or her mother?

"Lu Lan."

Suddenly, someone called her.

She responded immediately and loudly.

Turning around, it was the servant from before.But the servant frowned again, and said, "Come here, the girl wants to see you. You burned high incense in your previous life, so the girl wants to see you. Hurry up, what are you doing there, don't make the girl wait too long. "

Lu Lan responded meekly, but she was thinking in her heart, now that you are yelling at me, sooner or later you will kneel at my feet.

She followed the servant out of the kitchen.

But my heart is very disturbed, the girl from the Li family has never had any interaction with her?Why do you want to see her now?Could it be that she knew that she helped Mu Yanghou?Or did Deng Zhong offend the Li family?Now the girl from the Li family is here to praise her?

Lu Lan subconsciously thought of the bright side.

As for the bad aspects, Lu Lan is not afraid.She helped Mu Yanghou once, and the girl from the Li family is not a firm fiancee, so what can she do with her hero?
Lu Lan asked the servant: "I don't know why the girl wants to see me?"

The servant glanced at her and said, "You'll know when you get there." Seeing that Lu Lan was born well, the servant's tone softened a lot, and he said, "Don't worry, the girl treats the servants very well, and she has never been with the servants." If someone loses his temper, as long as you take good care of him, the benefits will not go away."

The word servant is a bit harsh.

But Lu Lan endured it.

Lu Lan asked some more questions, but the servant always answered irrelevant questions, trying to flatter the girl from the Li family in different ways.

Lu Lan sneered in her heart, disdainful.

On the other hand, I feel that the rumors are true.

Mu Yanghou really cared about the girl from the Li family, otherwise his servants wouldn't need to please him so much.

Seeing that it was almost here, Lu Lan asked one last question.

"Is the girl from the Li family together with Lord Hou now?"

Unexpectedly, the servant looked at her inexplicably, and said: "What girl from the Li family, go and go, go in quickly, talk well, don't offend the girl. The girl doesn't seem to be in a good mood today."

Lu Lan couldn't help but startled when she heard this.

She stepped forward subconsciously and walked into the room.

Compared with the outside, the side pavilion is much darker.

Lu Lan lowered her eyes and walked in slowly.

There were layers of veils in the side pavilion, and only one lamp was lit. When Lu Lan was about to pass through the last layer of veils, Lu Lan slightly raised his eyes, and vaguely saw a thin figure.When she passed through the veil, her eyes drooped again.

When meeting a nobleman, it is the rule in Yongping's circle of noble girls to not turn their eyes away.

Since it's not Miss Li, it's other noble girls.

Lu Lan guessed that it was Princess Yucheng, because she had an unattainable identity anyway.

She fell to the ground and saluted.

"Lu Lan pays homage to the girl, the girl is blessed and safe."

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, there was no response from the top of the head.She was taken aback for a moment, wondering if this was trying to give herself a bad blow?She was thinking a thousand times, trying to figure out the mind of this noble lady.

However, she couldn't figure it out.

She couldn't even figure out which noble lady this was, let alone her mind.

Suddenly, Lu Lan heard a laugh, without any kindness, and listening carefully, there was a hint of sadness.She was a little stunned, raised her eyes slightly, and saw a pair of slightly dusty embroidered shoes, and above that was a goose-yellow jacket skirt embroidered with plum blossoms, a waist that couldn't be grasped, then a jacket of the same color, and... ...a face of her genuine envy and disgust.

—— Yin Shi.

His calf trembled, almost unable to support his trembling body.

Lu Lan fell to the ground, looking at Ah Yin in disbelief.

"You...you...how could it be you?" She repeated these words back and forth, her shock was beyond words.

Ah Yin looked at her calmly.

She said slowly: "Because I entered nuclear science and got what you want, you hate me. Lu Lan, let me ask you, if I were Yongping's noble daughter, would you dare to hate me? How dare you hate me three times?" Do you embarrass me again and again? No, you dare not."

She shook her head slowly.

"You are not jealous of me, you are just inferior. You are inferior to your identity, inferior to your status, inferior to your family background, and you pretend to be gentle, all of which are just to cover up your inferiority! Your nuclear carving You only know how to imitate and never dare to have your own ideas, and it is also because of your low self-esteem! So you have to curry favor with Deng Zhong, Mu Yanghou, or even a girl who you don’t know! You think I am humble, even worse than Yongping You who came here, you still think that I can have today because of Shangguan Shixin and Yuanhong, no, you are wrong!"

She was eloquent.

"I come from a humble background, but my heart has never been humble! I can rely on my own hands to earn money and raise my younger sister. I live a decent life! I live a free and unrestrained life! I do what I want, think what I think, and never I don’t think I’m worse than the noble daughter of Yongping. You didn’t lose to me, you just lost to yourself! You are so pathetic! You’re so hateful! Can’t you see that people who are humbler than you live better than you, you have today You deserve it. I will not sympathize with you, let alone pity you. A girl with a heart of harm is not worthy of my kindness!"

Lu Lan's face was pale.

Yin's words were like a sharp knife piercing her heart fiercely, and when it was pulled out, it brought out the bloody truth.

The source of all her jealousy comes from inferiority complex.

It was also at this moment that she saw that the gap between her and Yin's had never been the gap in nuclear carving skills, let alone her identity, but that she did not agree with herself from the bottom of her heart.How can a person talk about his future if he can't even identify with himself?
No, she won't admit it!
Why did she say that about her?She only relies on the owner of this mansion for her confidence!

She wanted to grit her silver teeth and said, "You are relying on Mu Yanghou!"

She thought Yin Shi would refute her, so she glared at her angrily.But she didn't, she didn't have any expression on her face, she just looked at her quietly, just like when she first came to Suizhou and the two met in the inn, everyone said that she was about to become Yuan Gong's apprentice Son, she is a girl from Yongping, backed by a big man, everyone looks at her with admiration.

She was proud of her spring breeze, as if she had really become the noble daughter of Yongping, and got everyone's attention.

But even so, when I first met her, she was as calm as ever without any fear or fear, just like what she looks like now!

She hated her face so much!

Why!
The same status is humble, how can she have such confidence!

She shouted: "You refute me! Open your mouth! Aren't you very good at talking!" As if thinking of something, she said viciously: "What's wrong with your sister? Is she unconscious?"

Ah Yin's complexion changed slightly.

Lu Lan saw it and became more and more proud.

"I have fallen into your hands. I know I won't live long. But what does it matter if I don't live long? On Huangquan Road, with your sister accompanying me, I won't be bored. I pity you, your My sister misses you all the time, but in the end she was in danger because of you. Don't think about peace and happiness for the rest of your life!"

Ah Yin said: "Lu Lan, you are really pathetic. I have a younger sister, you have a mother, and we also have people who want to protect. You know this pain, but you do it recklessly. Are you worthy of your mother?"

Lu Lan's face also changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you threatening me with my mother?"

Ah Yin shook his head.

"I'm not you, I won't do such a dirty thing like you."

She squatted down, her gaze leveled with hers.

"Here, no one can hurt me. The person you want to curry favor with will protect me and won't let anyone hurt me. Even as long as I say a word, your mother who is far away in Yongping will also because of my love. I was implicated because of my bad mood." Ah Yin smiled slightly and said: "What's more, you are just a bereaved dog now, and I can drown you with a single spit."

Lu Lan's hand tucked into his sleeve suddenly moved.

A silver light flashed, piercing Ah Yin's heart.

But when the centrifuge was only half a finger away, he stopped abruptly.Lu Lan felt that her arm was about to break, and the force on her wrist was astonishingly strong, as if it was about to break her wrist.

With a click, Lu Lan heard the sound of bones breaking.

The wrist suddenly went limp.

The silver needle fell to the ground, but was caught by a slender hand.

Ah Yin said to her: "I told you, I can rely on myself."

Lu Lan's eyes widened.

She twitched her lips.

The Yin family actually provoked her on purpose!

Ah Yin stood up, never looked at Lu Lan again, and shouted out.

The servant who had been waiting outside came like the wind, and he grinned and said, "What's your order, Miss?"

Ah Yin said: "Tell your Lord Marquis to keep her first. I will pay back all the crimes my sister suffered. I never take the initiative to harm anyone, but if you dare to hurt my sister, it doesn't matter if you are a wicked person or a harmer. I do not care."

The servant responded quickly.

Ah Yin left in a hurry, leaving behind Lu Lan with a pale face.

The servant had just listened to what was said inside, and immediately understood that the servant girl from Yongping was the enemy left by Mu Yanghou to Miss Yin!Now that he is an enemy, he is not polite anymore.

What ear room do you still live in?The firewood room is even cheaper for her!
