These feelings, he had not found in any other grandchildren!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fourth daughter, do I remember correctly that a month ago you still couldn't lift this battle gun?\" Old General approached and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan placed the gun back in its original position and said, \"Maybe I've grown up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old General nodded his head, and after speaking for a while, the two left the ancestral hall together, an old man and a young girl squatting under an ancient tree, digging up Nu'er Hong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brown jar of wine, tied with a red silk ribbon, approached with a fragrant aroma. Zhan Lan quickly took the wine jar and excitedly ran toward the back yard, \"Thanks, grandfather.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, slow down when you run.\" Old General watched Zhan Lan's retreating figure until she became a small black dot in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short while later, he returned to the ancestral hall and respectfully turned to kneel before the ancestral tablets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May the ancestors bless our Zhan Family's descendants with glory!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Zhan Lan merely followed the surname of the Zhan Family, the more he interacted with her, the more he liked the child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, he was worried that Zhan Lan would face discrimination for not having a father and growing up with a widowed mother, so he allowed Zhan Lan to adopt the Zhan family's prestigious surname.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, fourteen years later, not only had the child become a disciple of the Qingfeng Scholar, but she was also skilled both in literature and martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mr. Zhan felt greatly comforted and offered three more sticks of incense to the ancestors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, Zhan Lan didn't sleep well. She had reburied the Nu'er Hong under the tree in her own courtyard and washed the mud off her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rubbing her sore neck, Zhan Lan was about to push the door open and enter the room when, suddenly, she heard a familiar voice behind her. Her left hand uncontrollably trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, when she was practicing with the spear, her left hand didn't shake at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan also never expected that she would tremble like this again, as if her body remembered, upon hearing the voice of Lady Li in this lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her past life, the mother she had loved dearly was not her real mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan turned around and met Lady Li's direct gaze. She was dressed very plainly, with a benign facial expression indistinguishable from that of countless other homemakers, with her dark hair fastened with a simple silver hairpin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Certainly not luxurious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Li's appearance was not particularly beautiful, only her eyes bore some resemblance to Zhan Xuerou's. Even in middle age, there was a shimmering light swirling in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a little kitten, she looked pitiable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan had never paid attention to this detail before and thought to herself: If Zhan Xuerou looked like her father, Zhan Beicang, he would definitely have noticed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange to say, Zhan Xuerou's facial shape and figure also resembled Qin Shuang to some extent, so at a glance, they wouldn't arouse much suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm back!\" Zhan Lan greeted her as usual, taking the embroidered pouch from Lady Li's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Li coughed lightly, \"You girl, have you caused any trouble recently?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan immediately shook her head, \"How could I? I've been very well-behaved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing has happened recently in the house, has it?\" Lady Li entered the main room first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The furnishings inside the main room were quite simple, modest but clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the side room, there was also a spirit tablet made of nanmu with the words \"In memory of the late husband Xue Wei\" inscribed on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wood used for the spirit tablet was the most luxurious thing in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Zhan Beicang even specially found a place for Lady Li in the west courtyard, which had much better conditions than the backyard, for the two of them to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lady Li had declined, insisting on staying in the backyard, a choice that Zhan Lan only now fully understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, Zhan Beicang couldn't see Lady Li or Zhan Lan often, and it would also prevent Zhan Xuerou from running into them frequently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for holidays and festivals, they hardly ever sat together, which prevented the discovery that Lady Li had secretly switched daughters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, less contact would protect Zhan Xuerou's status as the legitimate daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan lowered her eyes moodily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lan'er, offer incense to your father,\" Lady Li said as she walked into the side room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan responded without changing her expression, took three sticks of incense from the desk, lit them, and placed them into the incense burner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Li stood in front of the spirit tablet, muttering something under her breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her, Zhan Lan looked at the spirit tablet, thinking that after all, Xue Wei had saved the life of her biological father, Zhan Beicang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for him, Zhan Beicang's fate might have been grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this life, she felt no longing for this \"father\" whom she had never met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Li went back to the main room and sat on a chair. She looked at Zhan Lan seriously, \"On my way back, I heard that you have become a disciple of the Qingfeng Scholar. Is that true?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan nodded calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting the answer, Lady Li suddenly stood up, her brow creasing into a \"川\" character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly looked up and snapped, \"Kneel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan met Lady Li's angry eyes and said in a low voice, \"Why should I kneel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Li slammed the table and quickly stepped forward, raising her hand to give Zhan Lan a slap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the slap was about to reach Zhan Lan's face, Zhan Lan firmly caught Lady Li's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Li, taken aback, met Zhan Lan's cold gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You unfilial daughter, what are you doing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1479,"2026-06-05T23:35:01.698Z",1,"novelbin.me","3f14e0ace1d35e2825d7d2ab87e5742a61a618ba0979ca31cc83ebb26d41f0fe","reborn-to-become-a-queen-the-real-heiress-s-come-chapter-17","reborn-to-become-a-queen-the-real-heiress-s-come-chapter-15",751,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-to-become-a-queen-the-real-heiress-s-come-cover.jpg"]
