V2.Chapter 384

Qingyan and Yu Wan looked in the direction of the old woman's finger, and saw a house on the wasteland in the distance. There is an endless stream, obviously in the same place, but one is so prosperous, and the other is desolate. Those people seem to avoid the house specially, covering their noses when passing by, with a look of disgust on their faces.

"Is that the Lan family?" Yu Wan frowned in confusion.

Qingyan was about to ask the old woman again, but the old woman was called away by her wife and went into the city together.

"I'll take a look." Qingyan said.

"I'm going with Ying Liu." Ying Shisan jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the house pointed by the old woman with Ying Liu, who turned over and dismounted.

It didn't take long for the two of them to fold back, looking a little speechless.

Yu Wan looked at them strangely: "What's wrong? Is it the Lan family?"

"Ah...this..." Ying Liu scratched his head in embarrassment, "We didn't go in. The people inside closed the door as soon as they saw us. We didn't want to force our way in, so we came to ask the young master and his wife, Do you want to break in?"

In Yan Jiuchao's current memory, he was the king of the ghost clan, but Yu Wan told him that they were traveling in micro-clothing, and in order to conceal their identities, they pretended to be the young masters of Yancheng. Yan Jiuchao readily agreed, so Ying Liu Yuying Thirteen can call him Young Master again in an open and honest manner.

Yu Wan thought for a while and said, "I'll follow you to see."

Yan Jiuchao closed her eyes and used her inner strength to sense that there was no danger, so she didn't say anything to stop her from going.

Yu Wan got off the carriage.

Qingyan, Yuegou, and Awei drove the three carriages aside, no longer occupying the line entering the city.

"Young madam, be careful." Ying Shisan said, looking at the bumpy ground.

"Yeah." Yu Wan hummed, lifted her skirt, and stepped over cautiously.

The house didn't look close, but it wasn't that far when they walked past, and the three quickly came to the door.

Ying Liu raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Is there anyone?"

Naturally there are, but I don't know if they should be given or not.

The three of them had good ears, and could hear the sound of gurgling water coming from the yard, as well as low coughs and footsteps.

Ying Liu raised his hand again and knocked on the wooden door: "Excuse me, is there anyone?"

The people in the house still have no intention of opening the door.

Ying Liu looked at Yu Wan helplessly.

Yu Wan said, "I'll come."

Ying Liu stepped aside, Yu Wan stepped forward, and tapped with her slender fingers: "Is the Lan family here? We are here to find relatives."

I don't know if this sentence moved the people in the yard, the wooden door creaked open, and Yu Wan saw an old lady with a hunched back. He opened the door slightly and glanced vigilantly at Yu Wan and Ying Liu and Ying Thirteen behind him.

Yu Wan could sense that her vigilance was mainly from Ying Six and Ying Thirteen, was it because they were tall and big, and they were very capable of fighting?

The old mama's eyes fell back to Yu Wan's face. I don't know if she saw something, and a trace of surprise passed through her eyes.

Seeing this surprise, Yu Wan felt confident, but she still asked her, "This mammy, is this the Lan family?"

The old lady didn't speak.

Yu Wan took out the token and portrait found at the bottom of the cliff from her arms and handed it to the old mammy: "Excuse me, mama, do you know these?"

The old mama took the token and the portrait from Yu Wan's hand, and then her expression changed suddenly. She left Yu Wan and walked into the house with an old-fashioned pace.

Yu Wan did not follow up hastily, but waited patiently in place.

After about half a cup of tea, the old mama came back, opened the courtyard door for Yu Wan, and welcomed Yu Wan in.

Ying Thirteen and Ying Six also planned to step in, but they told the old lady to stop them fiercely.

Yu Wan turned her head and said, "You guys are waiting for me here."

Ying Liu frowned: "Ah... this... we have to protect the young lady..."

Yu Wan curved the corners of her lips: "I'm fine."

Seeing that Ying Thirteen had no plans to object, Ying Six raised his eyebrows: "Okay then." Turning to the old mama, "You'd better not bully my young lady! Our fists are very hard!"

The old mama rolled her eyes and closed the courtyard door with a bang!

Yu Wan entered the yard, only to find that there was a stove in the corner, and a medicine pot was simmering on the stove. Judging from the smell of the medicine, it was a medicine for mindfulness and pain relief, and the weight was not light.

Are there any patients in the Lan family?

The old mama took Yu Wan around the corridor and came to a half-closed door. After comparing her throat, Yu Wan realized that she was a dumb servant.

Yu Wan nodded.

The old mama knocked on the door, one long and two short.

An old voice came from inside the house: "Come in."

The old mama pushed open the door for Yu Wan and motioned for Yu Wan to go in.

Yu Wan stepped into the house.

The light in the room was dark, and a strong smell of medicine lingered on the nostrils. The furnishings in the room were also very simple, even rudimentary.

When I was still in the old house in Lotus Village, I lived in such a house.

Yu Wan's heart couldn't help but have a trace of doubt, is this really the Lan family? Could it be that I found it wrong?

Nobles in Xindu should not end up in such a desolate situation no matter what.

"Are you here?" The hoarse voice came from the bed again.

Yu Wan walked around the screen. The light here was even darker, but at least she could see clearly. On the bed with straw mattresses lay a haggard old lady. She should be very old, her hair was gray, and her face was gray. Slightly twisted due to the pain, the cloudy old eyes suddenly lit up when they saw Yu Wan.

"You... come here and let me see." She said in a hoarse voice.

Yu Wan came to the bed, saw that there was no stool, sat down on the edge of the bed, and approached her so that she could see her face better.

She raised her hand tremblingly and wanted to touch Yu Wan's face, but she couldn't reach it.

Yu Wan is not a person who loves to be close to people, but somehow, this old lady made her feel the urge to be close.

Yu Wan then took the initiative to lean over and let her touch her face.

Lan's eyes suddenly turned red: "You are..."

Yu Wan said, "My grandma is Shen Yun, and my grandma is a runaway daughter from the Lan family."

Having said that, Lan Shi understood that her mother was alone when she ran away, but unexpectedly gave birth to a half-sister to them outside.

Lan was stunned for a moment.

Yu Wan's eyes fell on the portrait held by the old man, "Is the person in the portrait you? Are you my aunt?"

Lan Shi nodded and shook his head again: "She is my sister, the sister of twins."

Yu Wan had an epiphany, no wonder she felt that the old man and the woman in the portrait did not match not only in appearance, but also in temperament, and she thought it was due to aging and frailty.

Lan Shi looked at Yu Wan with tears in her eyes and said, "It really looks like..."

Yu Wan blinked and said, "Like that auntie?"

Lan Shi nodded: "Like her, and also like my mother."

Although Lan and A-Sister are twin sisters, she has inherited her father's appearance, and only A-Sie has inherited her mother's.

Lan Shi found that she did not reject this child, and maybe even because she was very similar to her mother and sister, she liked her very much, Lan Shi took Yu Wan's hand and said, "I thought you were the descendant of my sister. , who would have thought it was Amei's, how old are you? What's your name?"

"My name is Awan, I'm eighteen this year." Yu Wan said.

"Eighteen." Lan Shi was relieved to pat Yu Wan's hand, thinking of something, and said, "By the way, is your great grandma still alive?"

"Not anymore." Yu Wan said regretfully.

"Sure enough." Even though she had expected that her mother was unlikely to still be alive at her advanced age, Lan Shi still had a little luck, and when she heard the news of her mother's death, she couldn't help crying.

Yu Wan didn't know how to comfort her and waited quietly for her to finish crying.

Lan Shi's eyes were swollen from crying, and Yu Wan handed a handkerchief.

After wiping away her tears, she took a few deep breaths to calm down her emotions on the verge of collapse: "I haven't seen the Lan family for too long. Don't take offense for a momentary lapse."

Yu Wan looked around and asked suspiciously, "Isn't this the Lan family? Why did my auntie see the Lan family for so long? Also, I was at the gate of the city and heard the guard say that there are two Lan families. What's going on?"

Lan Shi sighed: "It's a long story, our Lan family was originally a family, and they all lived in the city of Mingdu. You should have heard that our Lan family ancestors had a saint, and your great grandmother was also a saint."

Yu Wan nodded, she had heard this from grandma.

"How did that split up?" she asked.

Lan Shi sighed, "It's not because of that?"

Yu Wan was about to hear what my aunt said about it, when a woman's scream suddenly came from the other end of the yard.

Lan's complexion changed.

The next second, the old mama walked in in a hurry and gestured a few times with dumb words.

Lan Shi grabbed Yu Wan's hand: "Zi Yan is about to give birth! It's your brother's posthumous son!"
