These two had been following her for quite some time, but whose men were they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, she thought they would leave once they were in a crowded place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan cast a glance back at the two men, who were dressed in black and expressionless, like well-trained Hidden Guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is your master? What do you want with me!” demanded Zhan Lan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhan Lan’s calmness, one of the men took out a piece of paper and unfolded it in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan was startled when she saw the handwriting on the paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You, what have you done to her!” Zhan Lan said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the handwriting on the paper was Chu Yin’s, so ugly that even dogs would despise it; how could Zhan Lan not recognize it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The paper read: I am Chu Yin, Miss Zhan Lan of General Mansion’s good friend. Please help me repay the debt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan did not know if these men had taken Chu Yin hostage, whether it was for money or to coerce her into something!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan’s eyes turned icy as she urgently asked, “Speak, what have you done to her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in black carefully put away the paper and said with a cold face, “Our Family Head’s orders are to have the young lady board the sedan and follow us to a place where all will be revealed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan did not know whether Chu Yin was safe or not, and she could only take the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was also certain that they had not come for her life; otherwise, they would have made their move in a deserted alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were the case, it was probably not for money but to force her to do something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan looked at a sedan behind the two men; she lifted the sedan curtain to see another man in black sitting inside, his expression as cold as ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan sat inside the sedan, and the man in black handed her a black cloth strip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cover your eyes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan knew it was an underworld rule, probably to prevent her from knowing the route to the destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Believing that they did not intend to kill her, she promptly covered her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sedan carried by four people moved through the long street, and Zhan Lan tried to sense the direction inwardly, counting her steps and contemplating her strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere, a line of sedans from General Mansion proceeded towards Wangjiang Building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Xuerou was in high spirits sitting inside the sedan, having deliberately worn the Peony hairpin bestowed by the Empress Dowager today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even had Qiuyue open the curtains on the side of the sedan, allowing all to see the Peony hairpin on her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their procession of sedans was particularly eye-catching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people knew that the Emperor had bestowed favors on General Mansion that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw the Peony hairpin on Zhan Xuerou’s head, everyone understood it was a royal gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For, only members of the imperial family could wear peony hair ornaments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Zhan from General Mansion is truly beautiful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The hairpin on Miss Zhan’s head is so exquisite!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Emperor’s grace is boundless, he has indeed bestowed onto General’s family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Xuerou, hearing the discussions of the people from inside her sedan, couldn’t help but smile at the corners of her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qiuyue, do you think I look beautiful today?” Zhan Xuerou asked, gazing at the scar on Qiuyue’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiuyue respectfully replied, “The young lady naturally possesses an elegant demeanor, particularly beautiful today!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Xuerou smiled and said, “Qiuyue, who do you think is more beautiful, me or Zhan Lan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiuyue swallowed nervously and smiled, “The young lady is like the peony, the beauty of the nation. How could any wildflower compare to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Xuerou was very satisfied with Qiuyue’s answer, thinking to herself that this girl had finally become sensible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiuyue knew she didn’t like Zhan Lan, and that in the future, she would join forces with her to deal with Zhan Lan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might as well spare her life for now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiuyue saw the smile on Zhan Xuerou’s face and let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she was becoming more and more afraid of Zhan Xuerou, but she had to earn Zhan Xuerou’s trust at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the only way she could survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, inside she held an intense hatred for Zhan Xuerou. She might be a maid, but they had grown up together since childhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what happened with Chunhua, Qiuyue had learned of Zhan Xuerou’s cruelty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yesterday, by the pond, Zhan Xuerou’s attempt to kill her had left Qiuyue with a clear understanding of Zhan Xuerou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, Qiuyue was like a drifting duckweed, with nobody to rely on, orphaned, with no one to protect her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only person she could rely on now was Zhan Lan, who had saved her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this incident and the achievements Zhan Lan had made at the border, she realized Miss Zhan Lan was not someone to be underestimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps by following Zhan Lan, she could save her own life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the time being, she had to flatter Zhan Xuerou, speaking ill of Zhan Lan, to clear her association with Zhan Lan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also a way to fight for a slim chance of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sedan chair soon arrived at Wangjiang Building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wangjiang Building was the largest tavern in Ding’an City, with six floors, and the tallest building in the city, the favorite tavern of the nobility and high-ranking officials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Zhaixing Building, it was a notch more prestigious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its lavish and grand style was top-notch; performing troupes entertained on every floor, making dining there an act of extravagance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the average people, it was a place they could only look at but not approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Xuerou stepped out of the sedan, supported by Qiuyue, and her eyes lit up at the sight of the golden signboard with the dazzling characters for Wangjiang Building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It truly was a place where the rich and powerful spent freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father had never been willing to come before, but this time, he had come for her birthday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone behind her looked up and pointed at Wangjiang Building, saying, “Ah, the Zhan Family is here, and the Wangjiang Building has even opened its sixth-floor viewing platform. It’s so brightly lit and impressive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I was wondering why the sixth floor of Wangjiang Building is never opened. Turns out, they were waiting for someone worthy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not wrong, if you could stand on the sixth floor, you’d be able to see the entire night view of Ding’an City!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today, they say there’s a show by Little White Dove, it seems we can only listen from downstairs now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With General Zhan here, they must have the best performers to sing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tsk tsk, after so many years of battle, General Zhan deserves to enjoy a bit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you talking about? General Zhan is known for his integrity. If it wasn’t for his legitimate daughter’s birthday, he wouldn’t bother coming here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the crowd’s comments, Zhan Xuerou felt extreme delight in her heart; she loved this kind of grandeur, the feeling of being admired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seemed the people from General Mansion didn’t really like such extravagant displays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Beicang frowned as he listened to the commoners’ comments, quickly stepping into Wangjiang Building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it wasn’t for promising his daughter, he was the last person to favor such a place of luxury, and he didn’t care for such pomp and circumstance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shopkeeper Xue saw the Zhan Family arriving and immediately went up to greet them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“General Zhan, you’ve arrived. The fifth floor has been reserved for you. It’s very quiet and undisturbed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Heng and Zhan Rui were gleefully looking around, pulled by Zhan Hui from either side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Shuang, holding Zhan Xuerou’s hand, climbed step by step toward the fifth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worry filled her eyes; her daughter hadn’t fully recovered from her illness, and climbing such a high building was an effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the fifth floor featuring a famous performance by Little White Dove, she really wouldn’t want Zhan Xuerou to exert herself.\u003C\u002Fp>",1381,"2026-06-05T23:35:01.977Z",1,"novelbin.me","38c0ba790e13be78349a6086b65f90908517312df1a17c6730b84d4989bd81fd","reborn-to-become-a-queen-the-real-heiress-s-come-chapter-104","reborn-to-become-a-queen-the-real-heiress-s-come-chapter-102",751,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-to-become-a-queen-the-real-heiress-s-come-cover.jpg"]
