Chapter 614: My Daughter Has No Regrets

"Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do?"

After Xiaolu left, Lin Jiangnian approached the window sill and came to Xu Lan.

Looking at Xu Lan sitting upright beside the window sill, with a deliberately stern face, as if she was deliberately angry, Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but say with joy: "Look at you, you are almost angry!"

"How dare you say that?!"

Xu Lan's face immediately turned red.

She was not a girl who couldn't hold back her thoughts, and it was even more impossible for her to really show a cold and angry look in front of Lin Jiangnian. As soon as Lin Jiangnian opened his mouth, she couldn't hold it back!

"It's not your problem? Who told you to be angry all the time?!"

Xu Lan was so angry that her fair face turned red and the temperature gradually rose.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I apologize to you, Lady Xu!"

Lin Jiangnian immediately bowed his hands: "Lady Xu is very generous. You won't hold it against me, right?"

"Hmph!"

Xu Lan snorted heavily, expressing her dissatisfaction with Lin Jiangnian's perfunctory apology: "It's so ugly, what kind of lady?!"

"I'm not a lady!"

Although she said so, the mood on Xu Lan's face eased a lot. Obviously, Lin Jiangnian's surrender and apology worked.

Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised: "Didn't you always yearn for the life of the rivers and lakes and want to be a chivalrous lady?"

He still remembered that Xu Lan had a generous personality and always yearned for the rivers and lakes. Unfortunately, she was a girl, and Xu Xiupeng naturally couldn't allow her to mess around.

Therefore, Xu Lan could only enjoy herself in Linjiang City on weekdays, and at most wander around Linjiang City from time to time. In the past, Xu Lan often liked to dress up as a man, so it was the same.

"The past is the past, and the present is the present."

Xu Lan's face flushed slightly, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Perhaps because she was young and had little experience in the past, she really yearned for the so-called Jianghu. But after this trip to the capital, she returned to Linjiang City with Lin Jiangnian. The experience along the way gradually made Xu Lan dispel the childish idea in the past.

The so-called longing for the Jianghu, the casual and happy revenge, only existed in her ideal.

The Jianghu in reality is full of grievances, love and hatred, intrigues, and is very different from the Jianghu in Xu Lan's impression.

Therefore, Xu Lan gradually lost such thoughts.

In addition, perhaps because of the increase in age, or perhaps because of the change in her state of mind, Xu Lan, who has matured a little, feels childish and blushes when she recalls her previous swearing behavior.

"Anyway, don't call me a female hero... It's weird!"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "Then what should I call you?"

"Whatever, whatever you want..."

Xu Lan slightly moved her cheek away, feeling that her face was inexplicably hot.

Why does this sound even weirder?

Feeling a little uncomfortable, Xu Lan quickly changed the subject: "Why are you free to come to me today? You don't have to accompany the vixen in your family?"

"Can you stop talking about vixen every three sentences?"

"No, she is a vixen!"

Xu Lan snorted coldly.

Lin Jiangnian sighed, unable to persuade.

No more persuasion!

"When are they leaving!"

Xu Lan snorted and asked, "They have been here for a while, right? How are you and the princess?"

"When are they going back to the capital?"

"Tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?"

Xu Lan was stunned, as if he was a little surprised. After a moment of surprise, he said with surprise: "You mean, the vixen is leaving tomorrow?!"

"She is going back to the capital?!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded: "Something happened in the capital, the princess is going back to the capital?"

"What about the two little vixens?"

Xu Lan asked quickly.

How could Lin Jiangnian not see Xu Lan's thoughts? "Jinxiu and Anning will naturally go back with the princesses."

"Great!"

Xu Lan was full of surprise and couldn't help but clench his fists.

The two little vixens were finally leaving. Without them blocking him, no one would compete with him anymore...

"But I have to go too!"

But Xu Lan's smile didn't last long before he heard Lin Jiangnian speak again.

"Go?"

Xu Lan was stunned and looked at Lin Jiangnian: "Where are you going?"

"Jiang family!"

Lin Jiangnian said: "Mr. Jiang is seriously ill, I have to go there..."

Today, Lin Jiangnian came to Xu's house, one to visit Xu Lan, and the other to tell her about this matter.

The original plan was that he and the Zhiyuan soldiers would split up, and Lin Jiangnian would return to Linjiang City first, and after the affairs of Linjiang City were dealt with, he would go to Jiang's family in Jiangnan.

Now that he has been delayed in Linjiang City for some time, it is time to set off for Jiang's family after things have come to an end for the time being.

After Xu Lan heard Lin Jiangnian's words, the smile on her face froze.

Originally, Xu Lan was very happy to hear that the two little vixens were going back to the capital... Without the two vixens, no one would compete with her for Lin Jiangnian.

Unexpectedly, the two little vixens were going back to the capital, but Lin Jiangnian was also leaving!

Going to Jiangnan Jiang's family?

The Jiang family is located in Chuzhou, not close to Linzhou. In this case, doesn't it mean that she will be separated from Lin Jiangnian for a long time?

No!

Absolutely not!

Xu Lan's eyes turned after reacting, and she immediately made up her mind.

Before she could speak, Lin Jiangnian had seen her thoughts from her face: "You don't want to go with me, do you?"

"Yes!"

Being exposed by Lin Jiangnian, Xu Lan didn't feel embarrassed at all. She simply nodded and admitted it, saying confidently: "I want to go with you!"

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "I have serious things to do. Besides, I'm not not coming back. What are you going to do with me?"

"Then I don't care. I'm going with you!"

Xu Lan didn't care so much. Last time she returned to Linjiang City from the capital, she thought she could spend time with Lin Jiangnian alone to cultivate her relationship. As a result, a princess and a vixen appeared and ruined her good deeds.

This time Lin Jiangnian was going to the Jiang family again, so Xu Lan naturally had to go with him.

Besides...this time the princess and the vixen were going back to the capital. Now no one should be able to stop her from spending time with Lin Jiangnian alone, right?

In this way, she had a fair chance to cultivate her relationship with Lin Jiangnian!

This time, she must get back everything she lost...

Xu Lan secretly made up her mind!

"You don't want to abandon me, do you?"

Seeing Lin Jiangnian didn't speak, Xu Lan quickly felt wronged.

Her eyes became resentful, and she looked at Lin Jiangnian with aggrieved and pitiful look: "Are you going to abandon me here again?"

"Hey, are you still pretending?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her. He had known Xu Lan for so long, how could he not know what kind of character this girl was?

Would she pretend to be wronged?

"Hmph, I don't care!"

After being exposed, Xu Lan was not annoyed, and looked like a broken jar: "Anyway, don't think about abandoning me, I will go with you wherever you go!"

Xu Lan made up her mind: "Don't think about sneaking away. If you really abandon me, I will definitely go to Uncle Lin to complain, and then expose your unfaithful face to the people of Linjiang City!"

Lin Jiangnian was happy: "You are still threatening me?"

"Who asked you to abandon me!"

Xu Lan was righteous and aggrieved.

After getting along with Lin Jiangnian and with the guidance of the "military advisor" Xiaolu, Xu Lan gradually realized that Lin Jiangnian in front of him was a person who would only respond to softness and not hardness.

The harder your attitude is, the harder it is for him to talk. On the contrary, if you are a little softer and pretend to be pitiful and aggrieved, he will definitely be fooled!

As expected, facing Xu Lan's pretended weak, pitiful and helpless appearance, Lin Jiangnian really couldn't bear it even though he knew she was pretending.

In addition, he did neglect this girl during this period, and he felt a little guilty. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Jiangnian sighed and said, "Will your father agree?"

Hearing this, Xu Lan's eyes immediately brightened: "My father will definitely agree!"

"What if he doesn't agree?"

"Then I will go on a hunger strike to protest, and if it doesn't work, I will run away from home!"

Xu Lan said firmly.

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

Father is kind and daughter is filial!

Just when Lin Jiangnian wanted to say something, a cough suddenly came from not far away.

Lin Jiangnian turned his head and saw a middle-aged man appear at the gate of the courtyard not far away. He looked at the two people under the eaves with a slightly sullen face and complicated eyes.

"Dad?!"

Xu Lan looked up, and when she saw that the person was her father, she looked a little guilty and flustered: "Dad, why are you here..."

Xu Xiupeng said unhappily: "Come to see when my baby daughter is going to run away from home!"

Hearing this, Xu Lan knew that her words were heard by her father, and she immediately felt more guilty and stuck out her tongue: "Hey, Dad, I was just kidding..."

Xu Xiupeng sighed secretly, his eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian, looking at the peerless elegance, brocade and jade robes of the Prince of Lin in front of him, and bowed his hands and said: "Your Highness, the Prince has come, I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar!"

"Uncle, there is no need to be polite!"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand and smiled: "Lin Xu is from a noble family, and uncle is the elder of this prince, so you don't have to care about these understandings."

"Don't mess up the etiquette!"

Xu Xiupeng shook his head: "Your Highness is the prince, and his status is noble and cannot be messed up."

Lin Jiangnian looked at Xu Xiupeng in front of him, Xu Lan's biological father. In fact, this was the first time he had formally met the head of the Xu family, but after the meeting, the atmosphere was a bit weird!

The relationship is very messy!

Lin and Xu are old friends, and Xu Xiupeng is Lin Jiangnian's elder in terms of status, so he should call him uncle. But Lin Jiangnian is the prince, and Xu Xiupeng should pay respect to Lin Jiangnian in terms of status.

But on the other hand, Xu Xiupeng can now be regarded as Lin Jiangnian's future father-in-law. So... this relationship is quite messy!

So much so that the two people seem a little embarrassed when they meet now.

It was Xu Xiupeng who broke the embarrassment first: "I wonder if the prince is in good health now?"

"Thank you, Uncle Xu, for your concern. The prince is safe and sound, and he should be able to recover in a few days."

"That's good!"

Xu Xiupeng seemed to be relieved, and looked at Lin Jiangnian again, and looked at his precious daughter who was standing next to him, looking a little guilty and cramped, and his eyes seemed to be more complicated.

"Speaking of which, I haven't had time to thank His Highness for saving my Xu family."

Xu Xiupeng said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for His Highness's help, my Xu family would be in danger now!"

The case of the third prince's rebellion implicated the old man and the second son in the capital. If it weren't for Lin Jiangnian's help, I'm afraid the Xu family would have been torn apart by now.

Lin Jiangnian smiled and said: "Uncle Xu, there is no need to be like this. The old man saved the prince in the past, and our two families have been friends for many years. The Xu family is in trouble, and this prince naturally cannot stand by and watch them die!"

Hearing this, Xu Xiupeng's eyes became more complicated.

At the same time, the guilt and uneasiness in his heart became stronger.

He looked at the prince who was about the same age as his daughter, and his heart was filled with emotions: "No matter what, I still have to thank His Highness for saving me..."

Speaking of this, Xu Xiupeng paused, and looked at Xu Lan who was standing next to Lin Jiangnian like a little bird, and sighed: "This time I came back from the capital, thanks to His Highness's care for Lan'er all the way."

"I have no way to thank you, so I specially prepared some wine. If Your Highness doesn't mind, stay for dinner later, and let me thank Your Highness!"

Facing the invitation of the future father-in-law in front of him, Lin Jiangnian did not refuse. He smiled and nodded: "Okay, I just happen to have something to talk to my uncle about!"

"..."

Lin Jiangnian stayed at Xu's house for a meal, which was very sumptuous. Although it was not as good as the Lin Wang Mansion, the specifications were not small.

At the dinner table, Lin Jiangnian could feel the complicated mood of the future father-in-law, and a kind of "flattery" to his future son-in-law?

However, Lin Jiangnian and Xu Xiupeng tacitly chose not to talk about the things that happened in the Xu family in the past.

As if it had never happened!

At the dinner table, Lin Jiangnian also met the future mother-in-law whom he had never met!

It must be said that Xu Lan did inherit some of her mother's looks and personality. Xu Lan's mother is indeed quite generous and is quite satisfied with Lin Jiangnian, the future son-in-law.

On the contrary, Xu Lan, who has always been carefree, was honest at the dinner table this time, sitting upright, bowing her head and not speaking, looking like a lady from a noble family.

After the meal, Lin Jiangnian went to the study with Xu Xiupeng.

It is unknown what the two talked about!

However, after Lin Jiangnian left, Xu Xiupeng, who was standing outside the study, seemed to be relieved and completely relieved.

"Dad..."

Xu Lan's figure appeared out of nowhere, looking at his father outside the study: "What did you talk about with him?"

Xu Xiupeng's eyes fell on his precious daughter, his eyes full of doting, "Nothing."

"Liar!"

Xu Lan pouted, not believing it at all.

Xu Xiupeng just smiled, looked at his daughter in front of him, and seemed to think of something, and sighed softly: "Lan'er, do you really like him?"

Xu Lan's face flushed, and she was a little embarrassed: "Dad, why do you suddenly ask this?"

Xu Xiupeng sighed, his eyes complicated, "You should know that he is the prince of Lin Wang, with a noble status, and he has a princess fiancée. Even if you like him, you probably can't be his wife!"

Xu Xiupeng knew very well that although his Xu family was not bad, it was almost impossible for his daughter to marry Lin Jiangnian and become the prince's consort.

Hearing this, Xu Lan was silent.

After a while, she shook her head gently and said softly: "My daughter doesn't care!"

"But you are my precious daughter, and I don't want you to be wronged."

Xu Xiupeng naturally saw his daughter's thoughts a long time ago. But, what father doesn't want his daughter to be happy?

But that Prince Lin... He is very good, but I also know that there are many confidantes around that boy.

Xu Xiupeng doesn't want his daughter to be wronged.

Xu Lan raised her head slightly, her eyes fell on her father's face, and she said softly word by word: "My daughter is not wronged!"

"Even if there is no status, even if I can only be his concubine... my daughter will not regret it!"
