Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Miss Zhan is Here to Break Through Master’s Limits! Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Miss Zhan is Here to Break Through Master’s Limits! “What’s the matter?” Old Madam looked toward the flurried Housekeeper Wang. Even though the second branch and the main branch of Zhan Family lived on the same street, there was a wall separating the houses, and the General Mansion was very large, with separate entrances and exits for each. Naturally, the second branch also had its own housekeeper. Compared to Housekeeper Zeng of the main branch, Housekeeper Wang was much less able to keep his composure. He was a distant relative of Mrs. Wang’s and also someone she trusted. Recently, Mrs. Wang had moved to the second branch to take care of her son, and the major and minor affairs of the second branch were all reported to her. Mrs. Zhang glared at Housekeeper Wang, who didn’t have any respect for her as the lady of the house, which was extremely annoying. Housekeeper Wang stuttered, “People from the Li Family have come to the door, saying they want to discuss the marriage between the young lady and their young master!” “Drive them away!” Mrs. Wang was agitated and in no mood to deal with the Li Family. “But, Li Changlong, his mother, his father, and Miss Zhan Lan’s mother from the Li Family have all come. In the bitter cold, Li Changlong is kneeling outside the front door...” “Follow me out!” Mrs. Wang clenched her cane firmly as she went out, followed by Mrs. Zhang, while Zhan Liluo was also pushed by the maids to catch up. Zhan Xincheng lay in bed with wide-open eyes, his hands tightly grasping the blanket. If he still had military power, how could their family let such a scoundrel step foot in this matter! Mrs. Wang rushed through the courtyard and ran into Zhan Lan and Divine Doctor Qi. A crowd of onlookers had already gathered outside; the affair between Zhan Liluo and Li Changlong had been buzzing around Ding’an City recently, and everyone wanted to see what would happen next. The gates of the second branch were opened from the inside, and Old Madam stepped out with a stern face. Li Changlong was seen kneeling on the ground; it was hard on him, being unable to walk, yet still managing such a difficult posture. Upon seeing Old Madam appear, Wanniang nodded, “Old Madam, the Li Family from Phoenix City is here today to propose to Miss Liluo. Since the two children are truly in love, why not let them be together? If Old Madam agrees, the betrothal gifts will be delivered in three days.” Mrs. Wang glanced at Mrs. Li, feeling even more hatred for her – it was this woman who initially wanted to match Zhan Lan with Li Changlong. It was absurd; how could Li Changlong end up with her own granddaughter? Mrs. Li was looking at Zhan Lan standing behind Old Madam, frowning. Why was Zhan Lan here? Just as Wanniang finished speaking, Old Madam heard the whispers from the crowd. “They say the two are already tied by marital deeds, how can they not agree!” “Look closely at how ugly that man is; Miss Liluo’s taste is certainly unique.” “Didn’t you hear? Miss Liluo is no longer the beauty she once was. It’s said that after returning from the Heavenly Slaughter Sect, she lost her legs and had her teeth pulled out. Who knows what kind of torture she suffered.” “Could it be that she was...” “Hush, keep your voice down, do you want to die?” Old Madam and Mrs. Zhang’s faces darkened at the same time; the crowd was murmuring all sorts of things. Mrs. Zhang, her chest heaving with anger, said: “My daughter is pure and innocent, she could never marry your son. Get out of here!” Mrs. Wang glanced at her daughter-in-law and said to Wanniang and her husband: “Even if it’s a misunderstanding, it’s cold outside; we can talk inside the house.” She noticed that Wanniang and her husband were dressed like the wealthy, and moreover, Li Changlong’s father was a County Magistrate. If Liluo married into the Li Family in Phoenix City, there might be less gossip. At the moment, Zhan Liluo was pregnant, and it was unclear who the child belonged to; marrying into the Li Family seemed like the logical course. Li Changlong was helped up by the servants and reseated in his wheelchair, while Mrs. Li’s face also showed a smile, suggesting that there was hope for this arrangement. Not far from the crowd, a procession of carriages passed by. Vermilion Bird sat up straighter on horseback and saw Zhan Lan standing at the gate. He asked Mu Yan inside the carriage, “Master, there seems to be a disturbance up ahead. Would you like to take a look?” Mu Yan, uninterested, responded coldly: “Move on!” “Okay!” Vermilion Bird watched as they drew nearer to the crowd, feeling anxious inside. He hoped nothing had happened to Madam. The Master seems indifferent to Miss Zhan, but every time he has done something to protect her. Just as the Li Family was about to enter the General Mansion, a voice rang out. “I disagree!” Zhan Liluo had been listening behind the door to the voices outside, what attitude her grandmother had, inviting them in, was she intending to have her marry Li Changlong? Impossible! As Zhan Liluo came out, all eyes were cast upon her, those who had just discussed her, seeing her emerge in a wheelchair, exchanged looks with each other, the implication was very clear. The rumors are true! Zhan Liluo blurted out without care: “I will not marry Li Changlong, I don’t even know him, don’t believe rumors!” Everyone looked at Zhan Liluo’s unbridled mouth and her increasingly haggard appearance, once again affirming that she might indeed have been despoiled by the Heavenly Slaughter Gang. Li Wanniang and her husband, seeing Zhan Liluo’s appearance, were also unsatisfied, this girl is physically impaired, and she doesn’t even look like a young lady! Housekeeper Wang, with a dignified appearance, looked at Zhan Liluo and said in a soft and gentle voice: “You go back first, your grandmother will...” Before Zhan Liluo could speak, she suddenly smelled a fishy odor, and immediately retched. “Ah, isn’t this morning sickness?” “When I was pregnant, it was just like this...” Zhan Lan silently withdrew the brocade handkerchief in her hand that had been tainted with a fishy smell. Zhan Liluo, seeing the pointing crowd, retched again, and then suddenly looked at Zhan Lan beside her. She was pregnant, sensitive to odors, and it seemed like that smell was coming from over there! Zhan Liluo clenched her fist, she knew Zhan Lan’s true nature, as the other had threatened her behind her back. She finally broke down and cursed out loud: “Zhan Lan, are you deliberately targeting me, isn’t it? Our family is like this because of you, Zhan Lan, you base-born wretch without a father!” “What nonsense are you talking about!” The Lis couldn’t stand by and listen anymore, Zhan Liluo is attacking Zhan Lan out of nowhere in front of so many people, of course, she had to defend Zhan Lan. Zhan Lan’s eyes lowered without a word, Zhan Liluo was easily provoked and lost her reason, she just wanted everyone to see what the faces of the second branch of Zhan Family were like! Doctor Qi couldn’t watch any longer and said: “Young lady, Miss Zhan has been treating your father since he fell ill, if it wasn’t for Miss Zhan Lan’s sake, I would not have come at all!” Zhan Lan nodded and said: “I’m sorry Doctor Qi, don’t be angry, it’s just family matters, my elder sister is unwell, and her mind is sensitive.” The onlookers compared the composed Zhan Lan to the furious and ferocious Zhan Liluo, and everybody stood on Zhan Lan’s side. Mu Yan’s carriage was passing by the door, and he heard Zhan Liluo’s verbal attack on Zhan Lan, which was very harsh! What does “base-born wretch without a father” mean! Mu Yan’s eyes turned completely cold, years ago, he had heard the exact same words. Why was Zhan Lan silent, why swallow all the grievances, this was not her nature, she could endure. But, Mu Yan could not endure, his icy gaze turned to Vermilion Bird. Vermilion Bird’s heart leaped, ah, the Master is in a hurry! He is in a hurry! Indeed, Miss Zhan was the one to break the Master’s limits! From his years of experience following the Master, such an indifferent person has already broken his limits for Miss Zhan Lan several times! Probably there are no limits anymore! Vermilion Bird feigned calmness, glancing at Mu Yan with peripheral vision, moved cheekily close to the curtain and asked: “Master, any orders?” Mu Yan coldly said: “You usually seem perceptive, how come the cold winter has frozen your brain into a lump of iron!” Vermilion Bird broke into a sweat: “...” Mu Yan caressed the wound on his hand that had already healed, and said: “Turn around and go back!” “Yes!” Vermilion Bird’s spirits lifted, and he immediately turned the horse’s head around.
