Reborn to Become A Queen: The Real Heiress's Comeback-Chapter 263 Zhan Xuerou and Zhan Liluo are Furious!

Chapter 263: Chapter 263 Zhan Xuerou and Zhan Liluo are Furious!

Mu Yan’s lips curved into a smirk, "Indeed, I am the quail. As long as you are happy, I can be anything."

Zhan Lan hooked up a smile and continued to ask, "I heard you married Si Yao off to the Emperor of Beiyue, aren’t you worried she’ll hate you?"

Mu Yan rubbed her hair gently with his chin, "She can’t come back."

Zhan Lan understood.

As the two were talking, Chu Yin entered Zhan Lan’s room with tearful eyes, only to see the scene in front of her. The delicious food she brought for Zhan Lan had fallen to the ground.

On the bed, Mu Yan propped himself on both sides of Zhan Lan’s body, and both of them looked back at her simultaneously, appearing incredibly intimate.

Chu Yin pointed at them, stammering, "So, it turns out you two are really...!"

She had just returned from accompanying her mother for prayers on the mountain when she heard that Zhan Lan was injured.

Along the way, she also heard that Mu Yan had become the Regent King, and that he was betrothed to Zhan Lan.

Seeing Chu Yin, Mu Yan released his hand that was propped beside Zhan Lan and looked towards her, "This king and Lan’er are going to be married. Next time you enter, you should knock on the door. What if you see us doing something, and it’s seen by a child like you, what then?"

Chu Yin looked down at her chest and straightened her back, "I’m not a child!"

Zhan Lan got off the bed and looked at Mu Yan, "Stop teasing her!"

Mu Yan affectionately smiled, "As you wish, my lady!"

Chu Yin clasped Zhan Lan’s hand, watching as Mu Yan, dressed in robes like an ink painting, drifted away.

Chu Yin said solemnly, "Your man certainly looks handsome, but his mouth is too vicious!"

Zhan Lan glanced at her chest and said, "He’s not wrong! Child!"

Chu Yin touched her chest, compared it to Zhan Lan’s, and clenched her fists, grinding her teeth, "Zhan Lan, you faithless traitor, have you forgotten who took you to the Immortal Music Workshop for an adventure!"

Zhan Lan looked into her eyes and said, "I paid for it!"

Chu Yin swallowed her pride and grinned sycophantically, "Great General, don’t stoop to our children’s level."

Zhan Lan shot her a dismissive glance, "Did you come to see what I brought?"

Chu Yin immediately covered her head, "Ah, it’s all dropped on the floor, all because you two were indecently whispering sweet nothings in bed!"

Zhan Lan said helplessly, "We didn’t do anything!"

Chu Yin, while picking up the items from the ground, her eyes shining, asked, "When did you two get together?"

Zhan Lan recalled the moment Mu Yan expressed his feelings and she agreed to the deal.

"Don’t worry about us. Miss your brother?" Zhan Lan steered the conversation.

Chu Yin pouted, "No, I don’t."

Zhan Lan laughed, "Brother has been at Shadow Sect for two years now; he should be back soon."

Chu Yin pursed her lips and stayed silent, while Zhan Lan felt immense sympathy. In her past life, she had waited; in this life, Chu Yin was still waiting.

But, the wait wouldn’t be too long now.

Zhan Liluo was sitting in the courtyard, basking in the sun, when her maid Pingping rushed in excitedly, holding a large bag of candies adorned with the word "happiness."

Zhan Liluo called out to her, "Where did you go?"

Pingping could only approach and explain, "Someone was giving out wedding candies on the street, I offered them well-wishes, and they gave them to me."

Zhan Liluo sneered, not very clearly, "Who is being so ostentatious?"

Pingping replied with a smile, "It’s General Zhan Lan and the Regent King’s engagement!"

Zhan Liluo’s grip tightened on the lounge chair, and her eyes darkened as she asked urgently, "Who is the Regent King?"

She usually kept to herself at home, unaware of the current political changes.

Pingping said, "Today, in front of General Mansion, a hundred boxes of dowry filled with gold, jewels, jade, and accessories were escorted by the Iron Armor Guard, personally by..."

Zhan Liluo suddenly interrupted her with an anguished expression and asked, "Who did you mention?"

Pingping was startled by Zhan Liluo’s expression and replied, "The former Seal Keeper of the Xingtian Department, Mu Yan. He is now the Regent King!"

Tears uncontrollably streamed down the corners of Zhan Liluo’s eyes. Pingping had not been caring for Madam Zhan Liluo for long, and she didn’t understand what was wrong with her mistress.

All she could do was ask with concern, "Madam, did I say something wrong?"

Zhan Liluo was already full of resentment when she married Li Changlong. The maids, treated harshly and scolded, were reluctant to serve her and had left in waves.

Zhan Liluo looked at the candy in Pingping’s hand, suddenly grabbed it, and threw it to the ground.

The candies scattered, and the little maid felt so wronged she wanted to cry. Zhan Liluo scolded, "Get out, take the candy and leave!"

With a heavy heart, Pingping picked up the candies from the ground and left.

Zhan Liluo buried her head in her arms and wept without restraint.

Why was her life so miserable, and why had Mu Yan ultimately chosen Zhan Lan?

Mu Yan had become the Regent King, and Zhan Lan, a top-ranked female general. They were about to marry!

And she was just a woman with a broken leg, married to a worthless man!

Zhan Liluo cried so hard it broke her heart. If it hadn’t been for her administering the Love Flower Poisonous Insect to Mu Yan back then, none of this would have happened!

Regret and hatred swirled in her heart. Her maternal grandfather’s family had offended Mu Yan and was now unable to protect itself.

Her mother held no place at home, and her father, Zhan Xincheng, was gradually recovering and could leave the bed, taking one concubine after another.

Her mother lived in silent grief and could not control her father.

With her lips pursed, Zhan Liluo thought bitterly: Fortunately, those concubines haven’t been able to bear any children, and she was still the only descendant of the second branch of Zhan Family!

...

At the General Mansion, Zhan Xuerou was hurt by the bridal gifts brought by Mu Yan, as well as the words of her mother and father.

She sat alone in her boudoir, pondering where she went wrong.

Why did it seem that every time she felt she could surpass Zhan Lan, she ended up being harshly suppressed by her?

It’s as if Zhan Lan were sent by the heavens specifically to torment her!

She sat staring blankly out the window when Qiuyue came in and said, "Miss, Lady Li is here to see you."

Zhan Xuerou asked with a cold face, "Which Lady Li?"

Qiuyue replied, "General Zhan Lan’s mother, the one who used to live in the back courtyard."

Hearing ’General Zhan Lan’s mother,’ Zhan Xuerou sneered and said, "Let her in."

After Lady Li entered with Qiuyue and saw Zhan Xuerou’s haggard face, she asked with concern, "Miss, how have you been lately?"

Zhan Xuerou returned her gaze coolly, "Not good."

Lady Li inquired anxiously, "Is it an injury? Are you alright?"

Zhan Xuerou looked at Lady Li, wondering why she cared so much for her.

"What are you doing here?" Zhan Xuerou asked impatiently.

Lady Li felt a chill from Zhan Xuerou’s indifference; after all, she had used up half her life to save Zhan Xuerou. Even if they were strangers, Zhan Xuerou shouldn’t talk to an elder this way!

Thinking that this was her own biological daughter, Lady Li held back her feelings and said, "Please ask everyone to leave, miss. I have something important to tell you."

Zhan Xuerou gestured for Qiuyue to leave, and Qiuyue closed the door behind her.

Checking that there was no one else around, Lady Li then spoke, "Miss, the other day I saw King Wei visiting General Zhan Lan. He is your betrothed, and you must keep a close eye on this."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Xuerou stood up in anger, quickly approached Lady Li, and asked in disbelief, "What did you say, say it again!"
