Hearing this, Ru Feng's expression became serious. Although Xiao Lan's tone was a little strange, he had to admit that what she said was true. No matter what, the guards of the manor wouldn't listen to a girl's orders.
If no one sent them, what about them?
Windy looked at Xiao Lan once more. "Does Miss Wei know where they went?"
Xiao Lan looked back at Ru Feng. If she were to say that all of the guards were in her inner chamber, would he believe her?
She naturally wouldn't believe it. Since she didn't believe it, she didn't mind.
Xiao Lan directly replied, "I don't know."
Don't know?
He, like the wind, would not believe it!
"Miss Wei, you'd better tell me where the guards went or where they went. If not, I don't think Miss will be able to explain them to you after you return."
It was fine if he didn't say it, but he did get into trouble.
The gaze of Xiao Lan, who was speaking kindly to him just a moment ago, instantly turned ice-cold.
An explanation?
To whom?
Xuanyuan Dong?
What right did she have to explain it to him!?
And the tone of the wind was threatening her with the word Xuanyuan?
Funny, really funny.
At this moment, the red lotus just happened to be bringing the breakfast over. Xiao Lan directly faced the red lotus and shouted harshly.
"Red Lotus, send our guest off!"
After she finished speaking, Xiao Lan turned around and returned to the inner room.
Hong Lian, who was carrying the breakfast, came to Rufeng's side with a frightened expression. She knew who this person was and why she didn't dare to say anything to drive him away. Thus, she could only try to persuade him kindly.
Protector Rufeng, you should go back first. That day, this servant also saw that the guards of the Regent's Mansion were no longer in the Warm Fragrance Pavilion before Third Miss woke up.
Return to the residence?
No one gave them orders to return home without permission.
A cold light flashed in Windy's eyes as he scanned the entire Warm Fragrance Pavilion once again. However, there was no longer any trace of a guard here. His gaze gradually concentrated on the door to Xiao Lan's room, which was tightly shut.
"You said that the guards of the Prince's Mansion disappeared right before Lady Wei woke up?"
"That's right." The red lotus replied with certainty.
Ru Feng held his breath. Alright, then he'll head back to the manor to take a look first. If he doesn't return, then Ru Feng will turn and leave the Warm Fragrance Pavilion.
Seeing that Rufeng had left, Hong Lian heaved a long sigh of relief. She really did not dare to offend anyone.
Red Lotus carried the breakfast and walked into Xiao Lan's inner room. The moment she stepped into the inner room, she heard Xiao Lan give out an order with an extremely ice-cold tone.
"From today onwards, as long as it's someone from the Regent's Manor, they are to be kicked out. No matter what they're here for, no matter what identity they have, I will still chase them away."
"Huh?"
Hong Lian's face immediately turned pale white. How could she have the guts to blast apart the members of the Regent's Manor?
"Third Miss …" "This …"
Xiao Lan slightly tilted her head to look at the Red Lotus that had a difficult expression on her face. "You don't dare?"
Red Lotus lowered her head. She just didn't dare to …
Xiao Lan snorted coldly. "You don't even have the guts to follow me blindly. You can leave now. Don't be scared to death before I do."
Red Lotus quickly raised her head. "Third Miss …"
She didn't want to leave …
Although she only served him for a day, she felt that although Third Miss was cold and unfeeling, she was the best master to serve her. She was not picky or domineering, she was quiet, and whenever she had something to do, she would instruct them to do.
Hong Lian carried the breakfast and knelt on the ground, not even thinking about it, "Third Miss, this servant doesn't want to leave. Could you please not chase this servant away?"
Xiao Lan silently looked out the window, ignoring the red lotus.
Seeing that Xiao Lan was starting to panic, and that the third young miss was really going to chase her away, the red lotus's eyes continuously blinked. After a long time, it resolutely pursed its lips.
Wasn't it just chasing away the people from the Regent's Manor? What was the big deal? Third Miss was her master, so she could do whatever her master said.
Hong Lian looked up with a resolute expression, "Third Miss, this servant understands. In the future, no matter who from the Regent's Mansion comes to the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, this servant will definitely chase him out."
Xiao Lan finally retracted her silent gaze from the window and indifferently glanced at the red lotus. After a moment, she coldly said, "Put the breakfast on the table and you can leave."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Hong Lian's face. Hearing Third Young Miss's words, she did not plan to chase her away. It was great. The smile on her face became even more cheerful as she replied, "Yes."
Hong Lian respectfully placed the breakfast on the table and left happily.
Xiao Lan sat at the table and carelessly stirred the porridge in the white porcelain bowl. She remembered what Ruo Feng had just said: Prince Ruo came back …
So Xuanyuan Yun was not in the palace and he was not even in the capital city.
No wonder she could be so quiet even when she woke up.
"Xuanyuan Yun, do you think that I, Xiao Lan, am undoubtedly going to die so you can leave so easily? Unfortunately, I, Xiao Lan, am not dead. When you return and find out about this, you will definitely be filled with rage."
The corners of Xiao Lan's mouth curled up slowly. "It's best if I directly anger you to death. Only in this way will the hatred in my heart be resolved."
"You b * tch, Ulan Yi, get the hell out here!"
Suddenly, the sound of a woman roaring like a shrew came from the entrance of the courtyard.
Xiao Lan knew the voice very well. It was the second lady of the Wei family, Wei Yaru. What, her wounds were better now. How could she be this restless?
Hong Lian walked in quickly with an anxious look on her face, "Third Miss, Second Miss has come to cause trouble."
Xiao Lan unhurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth, then she turned to look at the red lotus and smiled lightly. "Don't worry, the Warm Fragrance Pavilion has never had any trouble."
Eh?
The red lotus stared blankly at Xiao Lan, who had a happy expression, and the third miss … She seemed really different.
Right now, she looked like a aloof master. The calm and steady aura she exuded could probably surpass even the Madam.
The red lotus blinked, wondering if she was following the right master.
Xiao Lan saw that the Red Lotus that was occasionally lively and adorable, and the smile at the corner of her mouth became wider for a moment. "Let's go. Follow me and see what this Second Miss wants to do."
Xiao Lan put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand before standing up and walking out into the courtyard.
"Alright, alright." The Red Lotus obediently followed behind him.
When she saw Xiao Lan walk out, her fury immediately occupied the highest point of the entire courtyard. She completely forgot about the injuries on her body and pushed aside the person who was supporting her, cursing viciously.
"You slut, you dare hit my mother? You're crazy! Let's see how I'll take care of you today!"
Looking at the incessant clamoring of her, a line suddenly flashed in Xiao Lan's mind. A dog that bites does not bark; only those useless dogs that want to build up their momentum would bark everyday. The one in front of her could only be the dog that barks crazily.
