A young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, appeared at the street corner and walked slowly towards the courtyard.

His steps were unsteady, his whole body was covered in dust, and the navy blue outfit he was wearing had many holes torn out, making him look a little embarrassed.

The servant who stayed at the door quickly greeted the young man after seeing him.

"Third Young Master, where were you last night? The Second Madam is almost dying of anxiety."

The young man pushed away the servant's extending hand and glanced at the woman in green standing at the door with some confusion.

"you……"

Before he could ask, the woman turned her face and her eyes stopped on his face.

"Green...Tiger?"

The words that came to my ears were refreshing and pleasant to my heart. Compared with the voice in my memory, it was a little less unpleasant and pretentious.

Although the appearance of the woman in front of her was somewhat different from the face in her memory, she could still see a slight similarity.

Looking down, looking at the exquisite figure of the woman in front of him, the confusion on the young man's face turned into panic. He took a few steps back and opened his eyes wide:

"Big...big...brother?!"

There was a hoarseness in his voice unique to his teenage years.

Shi Qinghu now felt as if there was a thunderous and buzzing sound in his mind, and he almost lost his ability to think.

"Long time no see..."

Shi Lan looked at the boy in front of her who was already taller than her, nodded, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

After not seeing each other for more than a year, Shi Qinghu's appearance has changed a lot. If her memory hadn't become stronger day by day, she might not be able to recognize him for a while.

"A...Lan?"

Hearing the soft call from behind, Shi Lan paused slightly and turned to look at the courtyard.

At the door of the courtyard, stood a beautiful woman in purple in her early thirties.

Before Shi Lan could speak, he fell into a warm embrace and was hugged tightly by a pair of arms.

Su Lanyue hugged Shi Lan tightly, tears almost overflowing from her eyes.

Mother and daughter are connected, even though Shi Lan has changed a lot, she still recognizes him at a glance.

In the past two years, Shi Lan disappeared without a trace and his whereabouts were unknown. Su Lanyue did not know how many times she woke up in the middle of the night because she dreamed that Shi Lan encountered various accidents.

No one understands better than her how innocent Shi Lan, who has lived for nearly twenty years under her near-imprisonment protection, is.

The outside world is so chaotic. With Shi Lan's gentle and gentle temperament, and having never been through a storm, how can he take good care of himself?

Every time she thought about this, her heart felt like a knife, and she regretted why she didn't look closer.

Later, she couldn't bear to worry anymore, so she directly had a showdown with Shi Tianlu. She threw all the issues behind her, such as the position of the mistress of the Shi family, the exposure of secrets she had kept for twenty years, and so on.

She just wanted her daughter to come home safely.

The result of the showdown surprised her. Shi Tianlu just assured her repeatedly that Shi Lan was always safe without saying a word, and he didn't mention a word about Shi Lan's daughter.

As for the anger she imagined, there was no trace at all.

The feeling of admiration that emerged from the bottom of his heart prevented Shi Lan from pushing away the woman who was hugging him tightly in front of him, and slowly suppressed the manic energy that was about to burst out in an instant.

A delicate palm touched her cheek, caressing the outline of her face, and combing her unkempt sideburns.

Looking at Su Lanyue with tears in her eyes, Shi Lan felt a little confused and hesitated to speak.

Su Lanyue's care and concern did not belong to her, but to 'Shi Lan', and she felt like a mirror.

In fact, on the way here, Shi Lan had thought about confessing part of the truth, but looking at Su Lanyue's current appearance, she couldn't utter a single word.

Finally, she raised her hand and held the palm on the side of her cheek, and said with a slightly unnatural smile:

"Mother, I'm back."

After this contact, Shi Lan discovered that Su Lanyue also had martial arts cultivation and was at the fourth level of the innate realm. Although she could not be said to be powerful, she had also faded away from the mortal body.

Su Lanyue took two steps back, rubbed the corners of her eyes, took Shi Lan's hand, and walked towards the house.

"Have you had breakfast? Are you hungry?"

"Your father just left two days ago. He already knows the truth. You don't have to hide it anymore..."

Listening to the distant whispers in his ears, Shi Qinghu, who was completely ignored by Su Lanyue, slowly came back to his senses. His eyes were full of disbelief, and his mind was a little unable to turn around.

The guy who just entered was actually the eldest brother...

Or...eldest sister?

Shi Qinghu felt a little strange in his heart and stepped into the courtyard.

Shi Lan followed Su Lanyue and walked through the courtyard.

Compared with the original Shi Mansion, this courtyard is much smaller, and most of the servants and maids have unfamiliar faces.

After turning a few corners, Su Lanyue brought Shi Lan to an empty room.

In the room, apart from a large bed hung with light blue gauze, the most eye-catching thing is a dressing table and a glass dressing mirror, which clearly reflects the room.

Obviously this room has been prepared for a long time.

After entering the room, Su Lanyue couldn't wait to push Shi Lan in front of the dressing table, pulled off the cloth tie that bound her hair, picked up a jade comb on the table, and began to comb Shi Lan's hair .

Shi Lan struggled slightly in embarrassment, but was gently held down by Su Lanyue again.

"Let me put your makeup on for you..."

The fingertips stroking the long hair were trembling.

Shi Lan silently retracted his hand and stopped struggling.

After a while, Shi Lan had already tied a swallowtail on the back of his head. The hair on both sides hung down on his shoulders. The hair hanging behind him was tied up with a gold thread.

After inserting a jade hairpin between the layers of black hair, Su Lanyue withdrew her hand with satisfaction and began to apply makeup on Shi Lan.

However, Shi Lan has now completed the ninth level of jade forging, his body is made of glass and jade, and he is unstained by common things. His makeup cannot be retained at all, including rouge and gouache.

After trying several times, Su Lanyue reluctantly gave up.

"The sage has a saying, the way of heaven is supreme, all spirits are born in the sky and raised on the earth..."

Suddenly there was the sound of reading outside the window, and Shi Lan looked at Su Lanyue with some confusion.

"It's your second brother. Last year, he realized that martial arts would be difficult to achieve, so he gave up martial arts and followed literature, focusing on Confucianism."

Shi Lan nodded suddenly.

"Don't mention him, just follow me."

Su Lanyue looked quite excited. She pulled Shi Lan to the closet and opened the closet door with a bang.

In the wardrobe, there are a dazzling array of clothes hanging in various colors.

"What color and style do you like?" Su Lanyue took off two pieces and handed them over.

Shi Lan sighed helplessly.

Seeing that there was not much joy on Shi Lan's face, Su Lanyue frowned slightly.

"Don't like it? Then I'll send someone to exchange two cabinets for you later."

"Mother, don't bother."

Shi Lan shook his head, a hint of fatigue appearing in his expression at the right time.

"Then you have a good rest first, and I'll have dinner brought to you."

Su Lanyue woke up, left the room in a few steps, and closed the door.
