Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 265 Lan Yao Returns to Fuguo Duke's Mansion
Lan Yao took the carriage back to the capital early the next morning.Because Yangzhou and the capital are thousands of miles apart, there was a delay on the road, and it was already two days after we arrived in the capital.

Fuguo government.

Today's Duke Fu is extremely lively.When the servants heard the news that Miss Lan Yao was coming back, and were instructed by the master, they were very active in preparing.

Lan Qian's wind and cold have also improved a lot. Hearing that her sister is coming back, she is overjoyed and looks more energetic than usual.

"When will my sister arrive?" Lan Qian saw the butler passing by in a hurry, and couldn't help but reach out to stop him and asked.

The butler was slightly annoyed when someone stopped him, but when he heard Miss Lanqian's voice, a smile instantly appeared on his face: "Go back to Miss Qianqian, and if there are no accidents, the eldest lady will be able to return home this afternoon."

Lan Qian smiled gently, "Thank you, butler."

"The servant will go to work first." The butler replied.

A gust of wind blew by, and Lan Qian tightened her cloak, and the maid at the side saw her concern and said, "Miss, why don't we go back to the house first, it's windy outside. Your wind chill is just right."

Lan Qian thought that it would be bad if she got wind and cold as soon as her sister came back, so she didn't refuse, nodded and went back to her room.

Now it is the twelfth lunar month, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Although there has not been a single snowfall in the capital, the cold wind has been blowing harder and harder these days.

Considering Lan Qian's frail body, Fu Guogong ordered his servants to add more charcoal to Lan Qian's place to keep warm.

When Lan Qian returned to the house, the charcoal stove had been filled with charcoal early on, and it was instantly warmed up.The servant girl untied the cloak she was wearing, took it away and hung it aside, and poured her a cup of hot tea to warm her body.

"Miss, Missy is coming back this afternoon, so don't worry about it." The servant girl saw the worry in Lan Qian's eyes and said.

Lan Qian just smiled, but the worry in her eyes did not dissipate.

She was just worried about how sad her sister would be when she came back and found that Prince Chen had left.

Lan Yao was sitting in the carriage, and the maid told her that she was about to enter the capital soon.She tightly clenched the sachet in her hand, and her whip lay alone beside her.

The new year is coming soon, Chen Zhi must be very lonely in the palace alone.Lan Yao thought in her heart.At that time, I will give this sachet to him and let it accompany him for the New Year, which is equivalent to being with him for the New Year.The corners of Lan Yao's mouth slightly curved.

The carriage entered the city gate smoothly, Lan Yao lightly lifted a corner of the curtain of the carriage, listening to the hustle and bustle of the street, she finally came back.

The car stopped at the gate of Fuguo Duke's Mansion, Lan Yao got off the carriage, and she had put away the sachet that had been hanging on her waist, and the sachet could not be seen by grandpa and the others for the time being.

The servants who had been waiting at the door for a long time came forward after seeing Lan Yao, with a smile on their faces: "Miss, you are back."

Lan Yao nodded and didn't say much, these servants went to help move the luggage from the carriage to Lan Yao's courtyard.She went directly to the study, and she should greet grandpa first when she came back. This is the rule.

Duke Fu heard that Lan Yao had returned, and was about to go out, but saw Lan Yao enter the study with a smile on his face.

"Grandpa, do you miss me? Yaoyao misses you so much." Lan Yao said coquettishly, and stepped forward to hold Duke Fu's arm.

Duke Fu patted her hand lightly, and smiled kindly, "Think about it, it's good to be back, it's good to be back. The New Year is coming soon, if you stay outside all the time, you will be wronged."

Lan Yao didn't mention the rumor, so she didn't want to mention these unhappy things when she finally came back.Fu Guogong also refused to say anything about Chen Zhi's departure.Although she didn't know Yaoyao's feelings for Chen Zhi, but now that Chen Zhi had left, it was impossible for the two of them.Just don't tell Lan Yao about this.

Fu Guogong asked Lan Yao how life was in his hometown in Yangzhou, and whether he was dissatisfied.Perhaps because she stayed in Yangzhou alone for such a long time, Lan Yao became quieter than before, and she was no longer in a hurry, and she answered all the questions of Fu Guogong one by one.

Duke Fu felt very satisfied.I let Yaoyao go to her hometown to stay for a while, on the one hand because of the rumors, on the other hand, I wanted her to be quieter and more stable.Now it seems that the rumors are gone, and Yaoyao's temperament has become quieter, so it's good.As for Chen Zhi, Duke Fu felt that Lan Yao was still young, even if he really had something to do with Prince Chen, Prince Chen had left now.There were other men beside Yaoyao, after a long time, she naturally forgot about Chen Zhi.

After chatting with Duke Fu for a while, Lan Yao glanced aside unconsciously. Duke Fu stroked his gray beard and said with a smile, "Okay, go and see Qianqian, this girl knows I'm glad you're back."

Knowing that her thoughts were discovered by Fu Guogong, there was no change on Lan Yao's face, she still had a smile on her face, "Then Grandpa, I'm going to see Qianqian now."

After she finished speaking, she saw grandpa nodding in agreement and left.

Lan Qian has not heard the news of Lan Yao's return at this time, because she went out in the morning and blew a gust of wind, she was afraid that she would catch a cold if she went out again, so now she is holding a cup of hot tea in the house and reading a book.

Lan Qian read the book for a while, then calculated the time, her sister should be back soon.She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, flipping through the book absently.

"Miss, the eldest lady is here." The servant girl walked in with a smile on her face.She knew that the young lady had been thinking about the young lady.

Lan Qian was overjoyed, and when she looked up, she saw the red figure following the maidservant.

Lan Yao has been partial to red since she left the capital, and now that she returns to the capital, she is afraid that her grandpa will guess something if she wears a red dress, so only the cloak on her body is red.

When Lan Yao entered the room, she immediately felt very warm. She glanced at the stove in the middle of the room and smiled, no wonder it was so warm.She untied the tie on the cloak and handed the cloak to the maid beside her.

"The complexion looks pretty good, the wind chill is better." Lan Yao took a look at Lan Qian, and found that Lan Qian's complexion was much better than when she left before, and she was relieved.I have been worried about Qianqian's condition in Yangzhou, and I wrote to ask several times. Qianqian said that she is much better, but she is still not at ease. Now that she has seen it with her own eyes, she is relieved.

"It's much better. My sister has worked hard all the way." With a smile on the corner of Lan Qian's mouth, she picked up the book on her lap and put it on the table, and poured another cup of hot tea for Lan Yao.

"The weather in Beijing is much colder than that in Yangzhou. My sister may feel a little uncomfortable when she comes back."

Lan Yao took the hot tea, took a sip, nodded and seemed to agree with Qianqian's words, "The capital city is indeed much colder than my hometown, but it's also much more lively."
