Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

Aning, Aning, Aning!

Lan Zhou's temples were throbbing wildly, and he wished he could take An Ning back and lock her up as well.

In this way, he will no longer clamor to run away every day.

How could I not understand someone I had watched grow up? Lan Yu's mind was like that of a child, but his stubbornness did not stagnate like his mind as he grew older.

If he really took the person back and locked him up like this, he might sneak out again one day. The world is a dangerous place, and who knows if he will be lucky enough to wait for him next time.

Thinking of this, Lan Zhou compromised, "Do you know where that An Ning is from and where he lives?"

"She didn't say."

Lan Zhou closed his eyes and took a breath. "Rui Chao is so big, and you don't know anything about it. Where are you going to find her?"

"Fate," Lan Yu chuckled, "She said that we are destined to be together, and people who are destined to be together will definitely meet again."

It's fate to see a ghost.

Knowing that he couldn't convince him, Lan Zhou could only take the long view.

It was obviously not feasible to take him back like this, but asking him to just wander around looking for Aning was completely nonsense in Lan Zhou's opinion.

Finally, they both took a step back, and he said, "I allow you to go look for that Ah Ning, but Ruichao is so big, and since you two are destined to be together, you definitely don't need to travel all over Ruichao to find him. What do you think?"

Lan Yu nodded, "Yeah."

"In that case, I'll give you half a year. There are still many things to do in the court, and I don't have time to waste with you here." Lan Zhou said seriously, "I will leave some people for you. You can find people wherever you want in the next six months, but you only have half a year."

"Half a year later, no matter whether you have found her or not, and whether you are willing or not, you must return home honestly. Don't throw tantrums or act like a spoiled brat. If you really do that, you don't have to call me your royal brother anymore."

Half a year.

Lan Yu thought about it carefully.

A year is a long time.

He stayed in the mansion for a long time and always felt that the days had passed very long, but when he asked the housekeeper, he found out that only a month had passed.

The emperor is very busy with official duties, and it seems that he has to deal with all the affairs of the court and the people.

Lan Yu didn't understand all that. He only knew that he waited for his royal brother to come to the mansion to see him every day. He felt as if he and his royal brother had not seen each other for a long time, but when he asked the housekeeper, it turned out that only a month had passed.

The housekeeper said there are twelve months in a year, so half a year is six months.

A month is already so long, six months must be enough for him to find Aning.

Lan Yu nodded repeatedly.

After he fell asleep, Lan Zhou asked someone to call Ouyang Xia.

To be honest, there weren't many of this woman's moves that he could appreciate, but he had to admit that making it in the underworld wasn't about having pretty moves.

This woman is very smart, and it is not a bad thing for her to stay with Lan Yu.

As for whether this person can be trusted, Lan Zhou doesn't have to worry about it.

He had already figured out this man's identity before coming, so since she had concerns, she had nothing to worry about.

Lan Zhou always goes straight to the point. "For half a year, you just need to stay with Lan Yu. Wherever he wants to go, you follow him. After half a year, I will send someone to pick him up, and then you will be free."

Ouyang Xia's thinking process is different from that of ordinary people. She rolled her eyes and asked, "What if he wants to do whatever he wants? What if he wants to visit a brothel?"

His forehead twitched, and Lan Zhou swore that he had never been so irritated even when dealing with mountains of official duties.

"No, you need to watch him and not do anything out of line."

If Lan Yu likes women, he can help find a lot of them when he returns to Yun State, but those in brothels will definitely not work.

He looked at Ouyang Xia for a few times and specifically reminded her, "In addition, you are not allowed to say anything you shouldn't say or do anything you shouldn't do in front of him during the next six months. If the men in your mansion want to see you, you can go after six months, but at least not during the next six months."

This is really difficult, but fortunately it only takes half a year.

Ouyang Xia nodded, "Then Your Highness must give me some time to go back and deal with it. If I don't show up for half a year, they will probably think that I died outside, and I guess they will all commit suicide."

Lan Zhou: “…”

"It's up to you. I'll only stay here for two days and I'll handle your affairs within two days. If I can't handle them, I don't mind helping you."

"I can handle it, I can handle it." Ouyang Xia smiled apologetically, "My mission is to protect the safety of the Third Prince?"

Lan Zhou glanced at her and said, "You just need to accompany him to eat, drink and have fun."

He obviously didn't think that Lan Yu could find that An Ning. As long as he coaxed Lan Yu to play here for half a year, he would send someone to pick him up, and this farce would be over.

……

Ouyang Xia returned to Huicheng early the next morning.

She went back alone, riding very fast.

As soon as they entered the City Lord's Mansion, the servants shouted excitedly, "The young lady is back, the young lady is back!"

This long-lost name made Ouyang Xia breathe a sigh of relief. When she got off the horse, her tearful parents came to greet her with tears in their eyes.

Ouyang Xia comforted her as if nothing had happened, "Why are you crying? I met the Prince of Yun last night. Not only did he not lose his head, but he also found a job for himself. You and your parents should be happy."

The city lord blinked and wiped away the tears from his green eyes, and asked curiously, "What errand?"

"Keep it a secret," Ouyang Xia said seriously, "This mission will take half a year, and my daughter won't be back until half a year later. During this half year, you two elders must take care of your health."

The mayor and his wife started crying again, "Why would you be away for half a year? How can your parents be at ease if you are a girl running around outside all day?"

Ouyang Xia pulled the two of them aside mysteriously, and whispered in their ears, "You know the father of the Third Prince of Yun State, right? He's the one that my daughter brought back a few days ago."

"I remember." They both nodded in unison, "What's wrong?"

"My daughter has been cultivating her relationship with the Third Prince for the past six months. She has been accompanying him to visit the beautiful mountains and rivers of our Rui Dynasty and to try the local specialties of our Rui Dynasty. In six months, with my daughter's charm, the Third Prince will be completely enchanted. When the time comes, my daughter will bring him back to marry into our City Lord's Mansion. Wouldn't you be proud of that?"

Although their faces were bright, the city lord and his wife were still worried about their daughter. "Don't lie to your parents. Will there be any danger in the next six months?"

"Where's the danger?" Ouyang Xia waved his hands repeatedly. "It's just eating, drinking, playing and coaxing the kids. Don't worry."

She waved her hand and went to her yard, "I'll go check on Su Ji and the others."

As soon as she arrived at the backyard, Ouyang Xia was surrounded. The scrutinizing and accusing looks made her almost run away.
