Chapter 29 Being Gentle with Oneself

Lan Yan was a little puzzled to be treated this way by Jun Yelan for the first time. She said, "I'll do it myself." After speaking, she tried to withdraw her hand.

But Jun Yelan held on tightly, applying the medicine while saying, "Last time you applied medicine to me, you were so brave. What, are you afraid now that I'm applying medicine to you!"

Lan Yan: "..." She hadn't expected Jun Yelan to be like this, using her own words to corner her. She would have dared to do anything back then to save Jun Yelan.

However, Jun Yelan's sudden change made her feel a bit unaccustomed. But on second thought, it was also a good thing. She smiled and said, "Jun Yelan, do you not dislike me anymore?"

Jun Yelan didn't speak, only slowed down his movements of applying the medicine. Deep in his heart, he no longer disliked Lan Yan and had even developed other emotions.

Of course, he wouldn't let Lan Yan know about these things for now.

Seeing Jun Yelan not answering, Lan Yan understood in her heart. Heh heh, it seemed her rescue plan was half successful! Victory was within sight!

She continued to prop up her chin, watching Jun Yelan apply the medicine to her.

At this time, outside the door, Lan Ya, with three little ones, hid by the entrance and whispered, "Let's not disturb elder sister, she's cultivating feelings with Young Master Jun!"

Xiao Yi nodded, "Second sister, I saw elder sister and him being very intimate last time. When do you think they'll have little babies?"

"I don't know," Lan Ya shook her head. "It should still be a long way off. Besides, marriage is something that needs to wait for father to return and make the decision. Father is still at the border and won't be back for now."

Xiao Yi's head drooped immediately. It seemed she would have to wait a long time to play with a baby. "Second sister, shall we go in and see elder sister today?"

Lan Ya glanced inside through the window and saw the smile on Lan Yan's face, indicating she was fine. "Let's go back. We'll come again another day and let them have more time together."

She took Xiao Yi's hand and walked happily down the corridor.

Lan Yan, inside the room, faintly heard laughter. She walked towards the door but saw no one. "That's strange, I thought I heard Lan Ya's voice."

Jun Yelan also looked over, only to see the empty doorway. He didn't pay it any more mind and closed the medicine bottle.

Meanwhile, at the Liu manor, Liu Tingting was completely covered up, not wanting anyone to see the red marks on her body. She had already seen a doctor, who said the red marks would take ten days to half a month to fade.

It made her furious! If she found out who was behind it, she would never let that person off.

A maidservant outside the door entered and said, "Miss, a Young Master Du is here to see you."

"Don't see him!" Liu Tingting refused. She then thought of the person behind Du Yin and called out, "Bring him to see me. Tell others that this is the doctor who came to see me."

"Yes, Miss." The maidservant left and brought Du Yin back.

Du Yin was a little surprised to see Liu Tingting's current appearance. He said, "Miss Liu, it's been some time since we last met. You haven't been doing well."

"Likewise." Liu Tingting looked at Du Yin's sleeves with mockery.

Du Yin suppressed the anger in his eyes and called out, "Doesn't Miss Liu want revenge! We have both been harmed by Lan Yan and the others. Now is the time for us to form an alliance."

"Moreover, Lan Yan is also injured now. I heard she is recuperating at her manor. This is a good opportunity."

"How so?"

Du Yin smiled, "If you visit her now and add fuel to the fire regarding Lan Yan's injury, she will naturally be in a worse situation. At that time, no one will believe her, and they will sympathize with you instead."

Liu Tingting immediately smiled. The matter of letting the slaves go last time allowed Lan Yan to win. This time, if she went again, she could not only win back this round but also change the outcome of the previous round.

"I'll go right away. You stay at the manor." She looked at her own face in the mirror, put on her veil in anger, and walked out the door.

Du Yin, who remained, showed a sinister smile.

Liu Tingting went to the Lan manor. She instructed the maidservant behind her to carry gifts and deliberately knocked loudly, saying, "Lan Yan, I heard you were injured outside the city late last night. I've come to see you."

"How is your injury!" May it never heal.

However, no one at the Lan manor opened the door. She showed a displeased expression and ordered the maidservant, "You go knock. I don't believe she can hide forever!"

The maidservant had no choice but to step forward and continue knocking.

The people inside the manor quickly reported this to Lan Yan.

Upon hearing this, Lan Yan said, "Prepare a basin of dirty water and splash it out as soon as the door opens." She then looked at her hand, which was wrapped up like a dumpling, and muttered, "I can't fight today, but I can call people to fight!"

That's how it would be! She hooked her lips and walked towards the door.

The maidservant at the door had red hands from knocking. Just then, the door opened, and she exclaimed with a smile, "Miss, the door..." Before she could finish speaking, she was splashed with a basin of water.

And the water was plentiful, also splashing onto Liu Tingting, who was standing behind. She smelled the odor on herself and immediately exclaimed in anger, "Ahhh, what is this filthy stuff?"

Lan Yan happened to walk over and see this scene. She smiled and said, "This water is from the latrine. Miss Liu, how do you like it?"

Thinking of the water from that place, Liu Tingting immediately clutched the nearby pillar and vomited. Her eyes were filled with rage as she pointed at Lan Yan in front of her and shouted, "You!"

Lan Yan maintained her smile, quietly watching Liu Tingting's performance.

The more Liu Tingting thought about it, the more disgusted she felt, wishing she could go back immediately. She remembered today's task and suppressed herself. "Lan Yan, you are no better off than I am! I heard you were out all night last night. Who knows what you were doing!"

"Lan Yan, you are the legitimate daughter of the General's manor, after all. Even if you are vulgar, you shouldn't be doing such things. How can you bring shame to the entire General's manor!"

"If I were you, I wouldn't have the face to live!" After saying that, she burst into laughter. However, the next moment, the veil on her head was suddenly knocked off, revealing her red, flushed face.

There were also scratch marks on her face.

Lan Yan sneered, "Oh, Liu Tingting, what happened to your face? Why is it disfigured? With such a face, I wouldn't dare to go out."

"I usually tell you to take it easy and not mess around carelessly. See, you didn't listen to me and ended up looking like this monster."

Others also saw Liu Tingting's face and recoiled in fright. It was too ugly.

Liu Tingting became even angrier. Her veil had fallen off for no reason. She felt too ashamed to stay any longer, picked up her veil, and turned to leave.

Damn it, she had originally intended to ruin Lan Yan's reputation today, but how did it turn out to be her!

Lan Yan was still shouting from behind, "Liu Tingting, if you can't find a good doctor, remember to look for me. It would be a shame if there's a scar." Seeing Liu Tingting looking like she was about to vomit blood, her eyes were filled with amusement.

Hmph, daring to come and trouble her again, she felt that the lesson last time was too light!

She held up her hand and turned to walk inside. Seeing Jun Yelan standing on the small path, she smiled and said, "Thank you." As soon as she heard Liu Tingting was coming, she and Jun Yelan had planned this.
