Chapter 144: The Art of Disguise
Chapter 144: The Art of Disguise
"Just be dumb." In order to get out, Lan Mingyue compromised again and again.
"Let's go, let's go out." Seeing Lan Mingyue agreed, An Qingqian felt relieved.
To be honest, she was also worried that Lan Mingyue was unwilling to pretend to be mute.
After all, it is very difficult for a normal person to pretend that he cannot speak.
Lan Mingyue has always been spoiled when she was growing up, so it is even more difficult for her to do this.
When they walked out of the room, they saw Lan Xiuting standing upright with his back to them, back straight, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lan Mingyue wanted to shout, but her eyes rolled and a new evil idea came to her mind.
She gave Xiaoshi a look and Xiaoshi nodded.
"Master, Miss An is about to leave." Xiao Shi reminded.
Hearing the noise behind him, Lan Xiuting turned around and saw An Qingqian standing on the steps with her maid, looking at him.
"Where is Mingyue? Why doesn't she come out?" Lan Xiuting's face was filled with a gentle smile again.
The embarrassment he had just shown had completely disappeared, as if his blushing face just now was just an illusion he knew about.
An Qingqian glanced at Xiaoshi, smiled and said nothing.
Seeing that An Qingqian was just smiling, Lan Xiuting suddenly thought of something and looked behind An Qingqian.
Sure enough, she saw a strange little maid following her with her head down.
Looking at the strange behaviors of the other three people, Lan Xiuting was no fool and he immediately realized that the maid was most likely his sister Lan Mingyue.
"Come here." Lan Xiuting glanced at the little maid and waved at her.
Lan Mingyue looked up at her brother, followed his instructions, and walked forward obediently.
Lan Xiuting put his hands behind his back and looked carefully at the person in front of him.
Lan Mingyue did not raise her head, still hunched over with her brows lowered, looking somewhat like a maid.
"Yes, in that case, I'll trouble Miss An to take care of my sister."
Lan Xiuting looked at his sister and smiled dotingly, without revealing her identity.
Since she wants to play, just follow her wishes.
"Mr. Lan, you are too polite. I know what to do." An Qingqian nodded.
"Master Lan, I'll take my leave now."
An Qingqian nodded at Lan Xiuting, then walked outside with Yingyi and Lan Mingyue, who was dressed as a maid.
Xiao Shi was about to follow but was stopped by An Qingqian.
"Xiao Shi, you don't have to see me off." An Qingqian deliberately said loudly, "Go back and take good care of your 'young lady'."
Then he lowered his voice again, "If you follow her, her identity will be exposed. Don't worry, I will keep her safe."
"This..." Xiao Shi stopped and looked at Lan Mingyue subconsciously when she heard this.
Lan Mingyue waved her hand, indicating that she should listen to An Qingqian.
Originally, everyone knew that Lan Mingyue had a maid named Xiaoshi who was skilled in martial arts. If Xiaoshi had always been by Lan Mingyue's side instead of guarding the poisoned "Lan Mingyue" in the mansion, everyone would have been suspicious.
"Yes, I will take good care of the young lady." Seeing that her young lady agreed, Xiao Shi didn't say anything else.
Thinking that Yingyi's martial arts were also very powerful, Xiaoshi didn't worry too much. She felt at ease knowing that Yingyi was with the young lady and An Qingqian.
After successfully leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion and getting on the carriage of the General's Mansion, Lan Mingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She lifted a corner of the carriage curtain with great interest and looked outside.
There are hawkers hawking their wares along the street, and people coming and going in front of the shops.
The street outside was actually exactly the same as before.
It’s just that Lan Mingyue hasn’t come out for several days, so she is in a very good mood.
"Just now, my brother didn't notice me at first. It seems that my disguise is very successful." Lan Mingyue was a little happy.
Just now at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lan Mingyue knew that Lan Xiuting did not recognize her at first, until he saw a maid in the back, then he recognized her.
Even my own brother is like this, so doesn’t it mean that it will be even more difficult for others to recognize me?
"When we get to the general's mansion, I'll let Yingyi rework it for me in detail. I'm sure it will be even more perfect." Lan Mingyue clenched her right fist and patted it on her left hand, planning what to do next.
"Well, but you have to be cautious at all times and never be careless." An Qingqian reminded again.
She knew Yingyi's proficiency in the art of disguise. Just now in the Prime Minister's Mansion, when all the materials were insufficient, the effect was still quite good.
When we arrived at the General's Mansion, all the materials were more abundant, so it was no longer a problem.
An Qingqian believed that Yingyi could definitely disguise Lan Mingyue as a completely unfamiliar little girl.
If it weren't for Yingyi's disguise skills, An Qingqian wouldn't have been so brave as to get Lan Mingyue out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Oh, you're just like my brother, always nagging." Lan Mingyue snorted.
An Qingqian didn't say anything after hearing this. Lan Mingyue was not a child, nor was she a girl who knew nothing. In fact, she understood everything and didn't need her to remind her all the time.
Arrived at the general's mansion, in An Qingqian's room.
Lan Mingyue immediately returned to her true nature and sat down on the chair in a casual manner.
Bo Yun knew that An Qingqian and Yingyi had returned, so he specially brought over some Ruyi cake.
Who would have thought that as soon as I entered the room, I saw a strange maid sitting carelessly on a chair. She didn't look like a maid, but rather like a master.
"You..." Bo Yun put down the pastry and stared at the person in front of him in surprise.
She has been with An Qingqian for such a long time and is no longer as reckless as before.
Seeing that An Qingqian and Yingyi had no reaction, Bo Yun realized that there must be something wrong with the maid-looking person in front of him.
She did not rush to blame her, but looked at Yingyi inquiringly.
Yingyi just covered her mouth and smiled without explaining anything.
Now, Bo Yun was even more confused.
Who is this person? He is so unruly that he enters the lady's room as if he were returning home.
"Is this Ruyi cake?" Lan Mingyue picked up a piece of cake and took a bite.
"I didn't expect you like this?"
"Yeah, I've liked it since I was a kid." An Qingqian raised the corners of his lips and sat down leisurely beside her.
Hearing Lan Mingyue's voice, Bo Yun felt a strange sense of familiarity in her heart. She seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before.
"Where are we going to play next?" After finishing the pastries, Lan Mingyue talked about what she was most concerned about.
"What's the situation at Fuguang Temple?" An Qingqian looked at Yingyi.
"Miss, you can go tomorrow." Yingyi had already inquired about it.
Shi Qiuwu had already gone to Fuguang Temple yesterday morning, so they could just go directly there tomorrow.
"Fuguang Temple? Are you going to Fuguang Temple tomorrow?" Lan Mingyue looked at An Qingqian in surprise.
