Lan Yan left the manor, looking around with curiosity. There were so many things in the street.
The streets were divided according to different types of goods. If she wanted to buy something, she just needed to go to that street to choose. She ran to the street selling jewelry and walked directly into the three-story building in front of her.
A shop assistant greeted her at the door and asked, "Madam, what would you like to buy? This shop has everything." He saw that Lan Yan was a new face and must be here for the first time.
Lan Yan tied up her hair, dressed as a lady. She glanced at the jewelry in the boxes. There were indeed many varieties, but none of what she wanted. "Shop assistant, I want to customize a mask. Is that possible?"
"Of course," the shop assistant led Lan Yan to the counter and asked, "What style do you prefer, madam?"
Lan Yan flipped through the blueprints. These masks were too ugly and not worthy of Jun Yelan. She picked up a brush and drew directly on a blank piece of paper, writing down the dimensions on the side.
She blew on the paper and said, "Make it according to this."
The shop assistant was amazed when he saw the blueprint. This lady was talented. "I've been a shop assistant for so many years, and I've never seen a mask like this. I'll take it to the master craftsman in the back immediately."
He took away the blueprint.
Lan Yan waited at the counter, casually looking at the jewelry.
Just then, a woman dressed in magnificent attire, with a pearl hairpin on her head, walked in. Her face was dignified and beautiful. She held her head high, looked at the people following her, and said with a light smile, "Everyone, I heard there are new arrivals here, let's take a look."
"Okay. Miss Lan is a regular here, she knows better than us." The women behind her were not as luxuriously dressed, but their fabrics were not ordinary, and they also had some jewelry on their heads.
Lan Yan heard this address and guessed it was the original host's legitimate sister, Lan Xiaoxiao. She couldn't be bothered with these people putting on a show.
Lan Xiaoxiao, who was listening to the flattery at the entrance, curled her lips upward, her eyes showing pride. She suddenly saw a figure in front of her, who looked surprisingly like her half-sister.
But it was impossible. Her half-sister had never been here before, and she was already married into the Third Prince's manor. Who knew if she was even alive now!
She walked over proudly and was stunned when she saw that face. This face was different from the one she had seen before. Her eyes were bright, her lips were red, her cheeks were rosy, and her eyes in particular seemed to glow with light. But it was indeed her half-sister.
She was shocked and said, "What are you doing here?"
Lan Yan looked at her coldly, "What business is it of yours!"
This attitude angered Lan Xiaoxiao. Her sister used to be so timid that she wouldn't even dare to make a sound, but now she dared to retort like this. She said angrily, "You're married to a cripple, and you think you're so capable!"
Lan Yan smiled, "Thank you for reminding me. I am now the Third Princess Consort. According to the rules, you should bow to me. Also, if you yell at me again, I can punish you."
"What!" Lan Xiaoxiao felt it was unbelievable. Lan Yan used to be so timid; how had she become like this! Something must have happened in the Prince's manor!
She clenched her fist and roared, "Lan Yan, I think your wings have hardened, and you've forgotten you came from the Duke's mansion."
Lan Yan smiled, "I wish I could forget, but there's a dog that reminds me."
"You!" Lan Xiaoxiao was so angry that she covered her chest and pointed at Lan Yan.
Lan Yan slightly extended her hand, bending Lan Xiaoxiao's finger inward. Hearing her scream of pain, she felt much better. "Remember, don't come to me casually in the future, or I'll break your other fingers."
Seeing the shop assistant return, she couldn't be bothered with Lan Xiaoxiao anymore. She paid and left.
The other people who came with Lan Xiaoxiao were still standing at the entrance. Seeing Lan Yan's move just now, they all moved aside. "This Lan Yan has really changed a lot after becoming the Princess Consort."
"But if the Prince dies one day, she won't be able to jump around anymore." In their eyes, Jun Yelan was half-dead.
Hearing these words, Lan Xiaoxiao's anger subsided by more than half. She covered her finger and said, "It was my oversight. I haven't seen my sister since she got married. She's probably forgotten her identity."
"Tomorrow, I'll go to the Prince's manor to send her something. I heard the manor lacks everything." After saying that, she laughed herself.
The women behind her also laughed.
Lan Yan returned to the Prince's manor with her new purchases, a smile on her face.
Xia Lian, who followed behind, couldn't help but smile. The Princess Consort's personality matched the Prince perfectly.
As soon as Lan Yan entered, she saw Madam Qin. It seemed the plan was working. She walked towards the courtyard and asked, "How is it?"
"Thanks to the Princess Consort, this old servant has approached them all and recorded what I've learned." Madam Qin took out a piece of paper.
Lan Yan took it and glanced at it. There were indeed a few suspicious individuals. She circled them and said, "By any means necessary these past few days, make them make mistakes and kick them out of the Prince's manor."
The Prince's manor still needed to lie low. There was no need to confront the people behind the scenes directly.
Madam Qin nodded, "Yes, Princess Consort." She retreated.
Lan Yan then walked to the room and saw Jun Yelan reading again. She sat at the table, propping her head, and just stared at Jun Yelan. If Jun Yelan could remove the scar on his face, he would surely be a peerless handsome man.
But with the current medical skills, it was not easy. She couldn't help but sigh and prepared to discuss with the system to see if there were other ways.
Jun Yelan noticed Lan Yan and put down the book. Seeing Lan Yan looking dejected, he spoke first, "You're back."
"Mm." Lan Yan thought of the mask and narrowed her eyes, smiling. "Your Highness, I'll give you a surprise in a few days."
Jun Yelan's eyes flickered, and his gaze fell on Lan Yan's smiling face. "Okay."
"Also, Your Highness, the other spies in the manor have been preliminarily identified and will be expelled from the manor in the next few days."
"Mm." Jun Yelan nodded.
Seeing that Jun Yelan wasn't talking much, Lan Yan moved a little closer. "Then Your Highness, do I get any rewards?"
"Rewards?" Jun Yelan was stunned. He looked at Lan Yan's slightly plump cheeks and suddenly wanted to reach out and touch them. He asked, "What do you want?" He couldn't even walk now, so there was really nothing he could give.
Lan Yan smiled, "Anything?"
Jun Yelan nodded. He wondered if he would agree if Lan Yan made some private requests.
Lan Yan pointed to the storeroom behind them and said, "I want the key to the storeroom." The original host's dowry was too little, but she still had a rescue mission and couldn't earn money.
So, she set her sights on the storeroom.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Jun Yelan's eyes. He took the key out from under the pillow and placed it in Lan Yan's hand. "From now on, everything in this manor belongs to you!"
"Thank you, Your Highness." Lan Yan's eyes were filled with smiles, and she hurried to the storeroom to get things. She took several bolts of fabric to make new clothes and also took a lot of jewelry.
Before, she thought the Prince's manor was very poor. Now, looking at it, it was super rich!
Seeing Jun Yelan return with Lan Yan carrying large bags and small packages, a smile appeared on his lips. He hadn't smiled in ten years.
