Chapter 485 You are Lan Wanxi, my fifth daughter
Shen Ruolan has always been fair and always buys double the amount of anything she buys. However, her son's taste and preferences are a bit picky, so it takes some effort to pick out something he likes.
Jiang Dichen listened to Shen Ruolan's words, he smiled at her dotingly and said: "Okay, let's pick together."
Just as the two of them were about to pay and leave, someone suddenly called out to Shen Ruolan, "Wan Xi!"
When Shen Ruolan heard the shouting, she didn't pay attention at first, until the other party shouted several times in a row and the voice was getting closer and closer, then she realized that someone was calling her.
Shen Ruolan turned around and asked the person who came: "Old man, what are you calling..."
Shen Ruolan stopped talking suddenly in the middle of her words.
The person calling her was none other than Lan Mao, the father of this body.
However, after not seeing him for four years, he has changed a lot. He has changed from the glorious and energetic Prime Minister Lan to a disabled old man with white hair and a tired look.
Lan Mao limped to Shen Ruolan and shouted to her with surprise: "Wanxi, you are really still alive."
After he finished speaking, he kept muttering to himself: "It's great, it's great..."
Shen Ruolan frowned and asked him, "What do you want from me?"
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty." Lan Mao first bowed to Jiang Dichen before saying to Shen Ruolan, "Wanxi, Daddy has nothing to do with you. I just heard that you're back, so I couldn't help but want to see you."
After Shen Ruolan heard what Lan Mao said, she sneered at him and said expressionlessly: "Now that you have seen it, can I leave now?"
When Lan Mao heard Shen Ruolan was about to leave, he quickly stepped forward to stop her and said, "Wanxi, wait."
After Lan Mao finished speaking, he saw Jiang Dichen looking at him with an unhappy face, which made him feel a little uneasy, but he still said to Shen Ruolan with a thick face: "Wanxi, your elder brother is sick. I heard that you are a good doctor. Can you go back and help him?"
Without thinking, Shen Ruolan refused Lan Mao and said, "I'm sorry, I don't see the Lan family."
After saying that, she pulled Jiang Dichen and said, "Jiang Dichen, let's go."
The vendors selling things around had always thought that Jiang Dichen and Shen Ruolan were the son and daughter of some wealthy family. Unexpectedly, when they heard Shen Ruolan calling them by their full name, many of them were so scared that they quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Jiang Dichen again.
Jiang Dichen looked at the little hand holding his, nodded to Shen Ruolan, and left with her.
Lan Mao quickly followed and shouted, "Wan Xi, please, your brother is really innocent, please save him."
After Lan Mao finished speaking, he paused and continued pitifully: "Or you can return Xiao Qi to me. You can't force Dad to death like this!"
After hearing Lan Mao's words, many passers-by who did not understand the situation looked at Shen Ruolan with contempt and disdain. Some even whispered that Shen Ruolan was unfilial and ungrateful.
Shen Ruolan heard people talking about her, so she suddenly stopped, returned to Lan Mao, and asked him seriously, "Master Lan, please open your eyes and take a good look. Who am I?"
Lan Mao didn't know what Shen Ruolan was going to do. He looked at her and said truthfully, "You are Lan Wanxi, my fifth daughter."
Shen Ruolan retorted sharply: "Wrong, I am Shen Ruolan now, and I have nothing to do with your Lan family."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she took out a piece of paper from the small purse she always carried with her, opened it, and said to Lan Mao, "Lord Lan is old, and it's normal that his brain is not working well, but I have the letter of severance of marriage that the emperor personally approved for me. If you can't remember it, I can read it again for you."
As soon as Shen Ruolan finished speaking, the people present immediately burst into noise.
Some people came forward and said, "I know who she is. She is the granddaughter of the old doctor Shen and the fifth daughter of Prime Minister Lan's residence. She severed her father-daughter relationship with Lord Lan four years ago."
After learning of Shen Ruolan's identity, everyone was surprised. Someone couldn't help but ask, "Didn't they say that the granddaughter of old doctor Shen and the concubine of King Han had died? How come she is suddenly alive now?"
"Wow, this Lord Lan is too shameless. First he killed Miss Fifth's mother, then he abused Miss Fifth. Now that they have severed ties, he is shamelessly trying to get married to Miss Fifth."
"That's right, Lord Lan is really shameless." The voice of a passerby on the street, although not very loud, could be heard by anyone with ears that were not deaf.
Shen Ruolan glanced at the people who were talking about it, and said to the pale-faced Lan Mao, "Lord Lan, our relationship as father and daughter has ended. Please don't try to get married randomly in the future."
After saying that, she took Jiang Dichen and left.
Jiang Dichen looked at the little woman who turned the situation around easily, and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up in his heart. You can't be too weak, otherwise there will always be people who want to bully you.
As Jiang Dichen walked, he deliberately said loudly to Shen Ruolan: "Ruolan, there is no need to be so troublesome to deal with this kind of thing. If you see these irrelevant people next time, just have them break their legs."
Shen Ruolan looked back at Lan Mao, who was surrounded by all kinds of abuse in the crowd, and responded to Jiang Dichen: "Okay, I'll listen to you from now on. If anyone tries to make false claims again, I'll just break their legs."
Lan Shurong, who was secretly observing Shen Ruolan, was startled after hearing their conversation. She didn't dare to come out until Shen Ruolan and the other person walked away. She went to support her father and asked with a distressed face, "Dad, what happened to you?"
When Lan Mao heard his eldest daughter's voice, he looked at her and moved his mouth, wanting to say something. Finally, he sighed and said, "Rong'er, I just saw your fifth sister. She still refuses to forgive Dad."
Lan Shurong comforted her father softly, "Dad, my sister just returned to Beijing, don't worry too much."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at the people who were still scolding her father, and said to her father, "Dad, back then, Fifth Sister was so determined to ask the Emperor to help break up the engagement, which means she still has resentment towards you. You should not go looking for her for the time being."
Lan Shurong's words revealed a very important piece of information, that is, when Shen Ruolan broke off the engagement with the Lan family, it was Shen Ruolan who begged, and it was the emperor who begged, so the Lan family had no choice but to obey.
This caused those who envied Shen Ruolan and could not bear to see her doing well to spread the news of her ruthlessness and disloyalty throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.
Shen Ruolan had just returned to the villa when she heard Jiang Dichen's words with a dark face: "I'll ask someone to cut off the tongues of these gossipers."
Shen Ruolan quickly stopped him and said, "Forget it. Those who are innocent are innocent. The mouths are on other people, so let them say whatever they want."
Jiang Dichen looked at her, his face full of heartache and said, "But I don't want others to say that about you."
She is clearly the victim, so why should she be subjected to everyone's abuse and accusations?
