Reborn to Become A Queen: The Real Heiress's Comeback-Chapter 283 How bitter Lan’er must feel in her heart!

Chapter 283: Chapter 283 How bitter Lan’er must feel in her heart!

Mu Yan looked at Zhan Lan who was constantly staring at her, and he said leaning forward, "I don’t believe in the chaos of gods and spirits, but after seeing you, I feel that we must have had a bond in our past lives."

Zhan Lan’s lips twitched, wasn’t that so?

The last person she saw when she died in her past life was Mu Yan.

Perhaps he was even the one who buried her!

Mu Yan looked at her and continued, "What do you see yourself as in your dreams?"

Zhan Lan frowned and said, "In my dreams, I was a Main General in my past life, and that masked Death Guard was my Deputy General, his name was Li Sui. He died protecting me, and that blood jade ring was his. What’s strange is that all these things I’m talking about correspond, and in the end, he let me go."

Mu Yan listened carefully to Zhan Lan and she continued bluffing, "Maybe I didn’t drink the Mengpo Soup properly, so some memories remained."

Mu Yan smirked, looking at her, "Did you ever dream about me?"

Zhan Lan’s cheeks flushed, thinking about the erotic dreams she had.

She shook her head and said, "Although I didn’t dream about you, I always feel that you are familiar too."

Mu Yan looked somewhat disappointed and said, "Mengmeng, you’ve never dreamed about me..."

It seems, his deliberate inducement was still not enough!

Zhan Lan obsequiously said, "I’ll try to dream about you next time."

Mu Yan affectionately smiled, "Little liar."

Mu Yan looked at Zhan Lan for a long time and seriously said, "Perhaps in our past lives, we were lovers, otherwise why would we continue to be entangled in this life?"

Zhan Lan secretly sighed in her heart, if only she had discovered Mu Yan’s goodness earlier in her past life, she wouldn’t have ended up in such a plight.

Mu Yan’s mentioning these things proved that he hadn’t been reincarnated.

Seeing her not responding, Mu Yan pressed, "Don’t you think so?"

Zhan Lan smiled and said, "Maybe... Perhaps in my past life, I stubbornly and foolishly loved you."

Mu Yan laughed and said, "I don’t think so, why don’t you try..."

Zhan Lan laughed, and Mu Yan gently lifted her wound wrapped in gauze and said, "Don’t leave my sight recently. Just yesterday, I cut off one of Si Jun’s fingers, and you were kidnapped. This matter can’t be separated from him."

Zhan Lan nodded, "It’s my fault, I got carried away when my mother mentioned embroidering a bridal handkerchief for me."

Although she was accompanied by a Hidden Guard and Yun He was protecting her, the ambush prepared by the others in advance was more thorough, and they were ultimately put in a reactive position.

Mu Yan’s eyes flashed coldly and he asked, "Shall I kill Si Jun?"

Zhan Lan looked into Mu Yan’s eyes and said seriously, "I want to kill him myself, please leave his life to me."

Mu Yan looked at Zhan Lan suspiciously, why did she hate Si Jun so much?

Zhan Lan blurted out, "Just leave the second branch of Zhan Family, Si Jun, and Zhan Xuerou to me, I have compelling reasons."

Mu Yan nodded, everyone has unspeakable secrets, even to their closest kin, he could understand.

Even though he had revealed his background and some plans to Zhan Lan, he had not fully disclosed everything to her for her protection.

"I promise you, I’ll leave these people to you." Mu Yan opened the gauze, checked Zhan Lan’s wound, and wrapped it again, saying, "Do you want me to help you bathe?"

Zhan Lan’s face turned red immediately, she shook her head and said, "No... you’re teasing me again."

Mu Yan curled his lips and chuckled, "I can close my eyes and not look."

Zhan Lan glanced at him, "I don’t believe it."

Mu Yan touched her hair and said, "Go to sleep, Yu Jinchan will arrive tomorrow."

Zhan Lan lay down on his bed, and Mu Yan gently covered her with the quilt.

Zhan Lan watched as Mu Yan walked over to the soft couch across and lay down, she said apologetically, "Mu Yan, I’m taking over your bed again."

Mu Yan turned to his side, propped his forehead with his hand and looked at her, "How about... sleeping together?"

Zhan Lan gave him a sharp look, and as Mu Yan got up and walked towards the bed, Zhan Lan covered her face with the quilt.

Mu Yan lifted a corner of the quilt, whispering in her ear, "Why are you shy? It’s just sleeping, we’re not doing anything?"

Zhan Lan’s ears turned red, and Mu Yan covered her with the quilt again, saying with a laugh, "Go to sleep, I was just teasing you."

Only then did Zhan Lan poke her head out from under the quilt, seeing Mu Yan going back to lie down on the soft couch.

A smile formed on the corners of Zhan Lan’s lips, with Mu Yan around, she could always sleep incredibly peacefully.

Before long, she fell asleep in the bedding that smelled of sunshine.

...

Zhan Lan slept soundly.

However, Beicang in the General Mansion couldn’t sleep.

He gazed at his wife’s sleeping face, her eyebrows furrowing and then relaxing intermittently, not sleeping soundly at all.

Beicang heard a noise in the courtyard, he got up, put on his clothes, and saw Zhan Xinzhang standing under the locust tree, looking at the moon in the sky.

"Father, you haven’t slept yet?"

Seeing Beicang approach, Zhan Xinzhang nodded and said, "Follow me to the Ancestral Hall."

Beicang arrived at the Ancestral Hall, closed the door, checked that no one was around, and finally voiced his doubts, "Father, don’t you think Lan’er’s expressions when looking at Qin Shuang are very different?"

Zhan Xinzhang deliberately asked, "Different how?"

Beicang replied, "I always feel like Lan’er looks at her as though she’s looking at her own mother, and Qin Shuang also calls out Zhan Lan’s name in her sleep."

Zhan Xinzhang’s eyes darkened, looking at Beicang, "Think about it, the two children were born on the same day, have you never suspected that their identities might have been swapped?"

The doubts in Beicang’s heart were stirred by his father’s words, he said painfully, "I have thought about it, but I dare not believe it."

If the children were switched at birth, firstly, he couldn’t face Zhan Lan whom he’d had father-daughter affection with for so many years.

Secondly, he couldn’t face treating Xuerou, whom he loved as his own daughter, differently.

"Father, did you notice this a long time ago?" Beicang asked hoarsely.

Zhan Xinzhang nodded, "Actually, Lan’er was the first person to notice. When she was fourteen, she once wielded a war spear with her left hand in front of me, I saw her divine power then, but like you, I had reservations, so I kept observing."

Beicang’s pupils dilated, shocked.

Zhan Xinzhang continued, "Lan’er never told us the truth, she must have had her considerations. If the Emperor had been healthy, knowing Lan’er was your biological daughter, he would have feared the Zhan Family even more, certainly suspecting that we concealed this, accusing us of harboring military power and planning rebellion. How would our Zhan Family choose then?"

Under the candlelight, with a complex expression Zhan Xinzhang said, "Lan’er conceals her identity, and on her own, she became the Brave General. All she hopes is that before this accusation is made, she can protect our Zhan Family!"

As he spoke, Zhan Xinzhang’s voice choked, "Think about it, a girl fighting and becoming the Brave General in the battlefield for this family, knowing her family is there but unable to recognize them, how much pain must be in Lan’er’s heart!"
