Chapter 296: Wrath
The maidservant caught her breath, or perhaps she was asking Shangguan Mufeng, "Young Master Shangguan, why have you come here now? It's quite puzzling for me."
"Do I need to tell you this now that I'm here? I can come and go as I please."
Lan Yan, who was standing to the side, heard Shangguan Mufeng speaking so angrily. She stood up and walked to the maid, telling Shangguan Mufeng what was going on.
"Why are you making things difficult for this maid? And the way you're speaking so angrily has frightened her, you know? Don't scare this maid here."
Upon hearing Lan Yan's words, Shangguan Mufeng immediately told her, "It's nothing more than the fact that this maid seems a bit simple-minded. But it really surprised me; this perfectly normal maid just arrived here..."
The maid left the place as quickly as possible. She felt she would be scared to death if she stayed any longer, and more importantly, Shangguan Mufeng looked too fierce.
After the maid left, Shangguan Mufeng walked up to Lan Yan. "Just now, I was only trying to scare him. I didn't expect this maid to be so easily frightened. It really surprised me."
At this moment, Lan Yan told Shangguan Mufeng what was going on. For some reason, she suddenly felt that Shangguan Mufeng was like a three-year-old child. Shangguan Mufeng was surprised when he heard Lan Yan say this.
"However, I think that Her Highness the Princess has been a great help in enabling the two of us to be together in Liujin. I think we must find an opportunity to properly thank Her Highness the Princess. But don't people outside say that Her Highness the Princess is cold-blooded and ruthless? How come I don't think Her Highness the Princess is cold-blooded and ruthless now?"
Everyone said that Gan Luo was cold-blooded and ruthless, but Lan Yan felt that Gan Luo was not cold-blooded and ruthless at all. More importantly, Gan Luo would help Gan Yanling, which really surprised Lan Yan.
"By the way, Young Master Shangguan, there's something I've always wanted to ask you, but I don't know if you'd be willing to tell me."
Shangguan Mufeng told Lan Yan that he would answer any question she wanted to ask, as long as he could. Finally, Lan Yan asked Shangguan Mufeng, "In your heart, did you ever love Gan Luo in the past?"
Shangguan Mufeng was surprised that Lan Yan would ask about this matter. How should Shangguan Mufeng answer Lan Yan about it?
Seeing Shangguan Mufeng's hesitant expression, the only thing Lan Yan was certain of was that Shangguan Mufeng had indeed loved Gan Luo. She had initially thought Shangguan Mufeng wouldn't love Gan Luo, but in the end, she discovered...
"There's no need to say anything more here. I already know the answer in your heart. I didn't expect that you actually liked Her Highness the Princess. It really surprises me. I thought you didn't have any feelings for Her Highness the Princess."
"I can answer the same question to you. The reason I like this princess is simply because she brought me into her palace and made me her male concubine. More importantly, she has been very kind to me. How could I not like her?"
After thinking about it carefully, Lan Yan realized that if she were to stay angry with Shangguan Mufeng because of this, she would instantly feel like a child.
Besides, these are all things of the past. What's more important is that Lan Yan still exists in Shangguan Mufeng's heart, doesn't she? In that case, why bother dwelling on Shangguan Mufeng's past?
"Oh, right, there's something else I wanted to tell you. A few days ago, when the princess came to persuade me, I argued with her. I feel a little indebted to her. Why don't you come with me to apologize to her in person?"
Shangguan Mufeng never expected that Lan Yan would actually confront Gan Luo, which surprised him quite a bit. He then agreed.
Finally, Shangguan Mufeng and Lan Yan arrived at Gan Luo's place. Gan Luo was a little puzzled when he saw them, wondering what their purpose was.
"How did you two suddenly end up here? What happened? But judging from your current state, you two have made up, right?"
Gan Luo took the initiative to speak here. However, after seeing the two of them at this moment, Gan Luo felt a sense of relief. Why was that?
"I hope you two can live well together. I also hope you can grow old together. If there's anything you need, you can tell me directly. As long as it's something I can help with, I will definitely help you."
When they suddenly heard Gan Luo say this, they were overjoyed. They never expected Gan Luo to be here to help them, and they were truly delighted.
"Thank you so much, Your Highness, for helping us now. I am truly delighted."
Gan Luo then asked Shangguan Mufeng and Lan Yan, "Actually, there's something else I'd like to know, Miss. Do you still hold a grudge about what happened before?"
Lan Yan hadn't expected Gan Luo to specifically bring up this matter. "I don't really care about this anymore; after all, I don't think it's necessary to care about his past."
Upon hearing what Lan Yan said, Gan Luo reached out and patted Lan Yan on the shoulder, indicating that Lan Yan was right to think that way.
For some reason, Gan Luo felt a little different when he saw how well the two of them looked like a perfect couple.
Green Bamboo happened to arrive here and saw Shangguan Mufeng and Lan Yan, and was somewhat surprised at that moment.
She had heard of Lan Yan a long time ago, and now that she had seen her in person, she was indeed quite good-looking. This young master Shangguan was truly capable.
