The Ancient Martial Witch Arrives

Chapter 73: A Suitor (2)
"Actually, long before the prince proposed to Lan Jiu, I had already proposed to Lan Jiu. I think Lan Jiu should have the absolute right to choose freely!" At this moment, Chang He walked into the hall and said with a smile.

With a serious and candid smile on his bewitching and unparalleled face, he looked deeply at Lan Jiu.He looks like an infatuated man chasing a woman.

But after hearing what Chang He said, everyone shut their mouths, not daring to say anything more.In fact, in comparison, Changhe is no worse than Prince Wulin at all. No matter in terms of appearance or status, although who Lan Jiu marries has nothing to do with these guests, the matter involves the prince and the owner of Xiaoyao City, so these people plan to keep it. Be silent, don't get involved in this muddy water.

Lan Jiu knew that although Chang He was telling lies, he finally rescued himself.As soon as he said such words, everyone's attention was shifted to him, and the issue of people's attention was escalated to the robbery of the Lord Xiaoyao and Prince Wu Lin, which instead let Lan Jiu avoid the limelight.

Although Wu Lin who heard Changhe's words was surprised, he didn't say anything. In his opinion, after all, all girls have the right to pursue happiness, so he didn't blame Lan Jiu for refusing his marriage.Instead, he was more focused on how to compete with Changhe so as to win Lan Jiu's heart.

It's just that when the people in the palace were thinking about each other, Wu Xingyun raised his eyebrows and looked at Changhe, his eyes were dark and unpredictable.

While Changhe and Wu Lin were fighting secretly, Lanlinghou was completely overjoyed.Although Lan Linghou was upset by many things that happened today, he saw a huge benefit, that is, Lan Jiu became a favorite.

Whether it is Prince Wu Lin or the owner of Xiaoyao City, as long as the Lan family becomes a relative with one of them, the power of the Lan Mansion will be great, and the future of the Lan Mansion will be bright, and now the key to the realization of all this is the blue mansion. Nine.

"Jiu'er, sit down quickly. The banquet was originally intended to welcome you. Although there was some unpleasantness, there is always food to eat." Lan Linghou immediately walked down from the high seat with a smile on his face and came to Lan Jiu. Smiled in front of him.

Lan Linghou, who was originally strict, suddenly turned into an amiable, kind and caring old man. At this time, he was looking at Lan Jiu with the caring and doting eyes unique to his elders.

"Lan Cheng, you're still in a daze! Quickly ask someone to add two chairs and let Lan Jiu and Man'er sit next to me." Lan Linghou didn't give Lan Jiu a chance to speak, for fear that Lan Jiu would be stubborn and take Man'er with him. Let's go, so Lanlinghou's mouth didn't stop, he kept turning his head and shouting at Lan Cheng.

Lan Cheng was a little confused, didn't his father really hate Lan Jiu?Don't you want to give the blue nine points a look?Why did you suddenly become so polite and kind?But after all, Lan Cheng is the material to be the prime minister, and he quickly figured out why his father changed, so he quickly put away the serious look on his face, put on a smiling face, and shouted at the maids outside the door Said: "Quick! Add four more chairs. Add some of the best dishes in the house!"

After Lan Cheng finished speaking earnestly, he approached Chang He and Wu Lin earnestly, and respectfully invited them to sit down.The two looked at each other, Wu Lin put away the sword in his hand, and sat down on the first seat on the left, while Chang He also raised his eyebrows and sat on the first seat on the right.

Chang He and Wu Lin were able to sit down to show off their face, and Lan Cheng followed beside him, busy pouring drinks for the two of them.

And Lanlinghou worked tirelessly, regardless of his advanced age, and came forward with a smile to help Man'er straighten the chair.

Since when did Man'er receive such treatment, she quickly thanked her and was overwhelmed by the flattery, but she didn't dare to accept Lanlinghou to straighten her seat in person.Seeing this, all the guests in the hall immediately understood that these nobles who have been in the officialdom for so many years couldn't see this.

"The reunion of the Marquis of Lanling with his granddaughter is really gratifying. Your daughter-in-law Man'er has raised a good girl!"

"Yes, yes, your daughter-in-law has been wronged all these years, she should make up for it, and I will toast you now."

The guests in the hall were very quick to change the direction of the wind. They saw Lan Linghou's attitude towards Man'er and Lan Jiu changed 180 degrees, and everyone immediately flattered him.

"Hahaha, good! Man'er, if you want to toast these adults, you can drink a little bit, it's their wish." Lanlinghou did not return to the main seat, but stood still pretending to be his grandson. Beside Man'er, she smiled gently.

Although Marquis of Lanling was acting hypocritically, Man'er didn't dare to refuse, not to mention the flattery and toasts from so many nobles, Man'er was a little at a loss and turned her head to look at her daughter.

Lan Jiu met Man'er's eyes, smiled faintly, and said, "Mother, since it's the kindness of the adults, please accept it."

Hearing Lan Jiu's words, Man'er finally felt relieved, and quickly raised her glass to respond to the kindness of the guests in the palace.

"Marquis Lanling, there is also a silk and satin shop and a clothing store down here. This time I brought some samples to your mansion. If your daughter-in-law doesn't mind it, please accept it." Another nobleman got up and smiled.

This aristocrat was obviously in favor of the Marquis of Lanling, but his flattery was exactly on the point.Lanling Hou also smiled happily when he heard the words, and said: "Okay! Man'er will leave these clothes for now. When I have time, I will definitely ask the housekeeper to take you out to buy more clothes and dress up. You are my daughter-in-law. , you can’t wear it so poorly, just say what you need! If gold and silver are too tacky, get some agate and emerald.”

Lanlinghou was so generous, Man'er thanked her repeatedly, and she didn't even know what to do.

Seeing that all the VIPs in the hall and Lan Linghou were extremely friendly with Man'er, Chang He sneered and raised his eyebrows to look at Lan Jiu, wanting to see Lan Jiu's reaction.But Lan Jiu was sitting beside Man'er leisurely, with a faint but mocking smile on his face.

Lan Jiu naturally understood that Lan Linghou was just putting on a show!But it's fine even if it's a hypocritical gesture, because after all, Man'er has been recognized by everyone and treated kindly by the Lan family, even if it's superficial!
Mother-in-law Man'er was originally a maid of the Lan Mansion. From being raped by Lan Batian to giving birth to Lan Nine and Lan Ten, she has never been recognized or benefited by the Lan family, but now Man'er is recognized by the Lan Mansion. !
