Chapter 491: Her Past Life

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation        Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The older woman risked exposing herself to poison the prince, which was a task someone had arranged for her. She had been in the mansion for many years, hiding in plain sight.

Although she had never accepted any missions, she did not expect to receive one so suddenly. Indeed, she had hidden very well; no one suspected her because she was Lan Xiyao’s caretaker.

The older lady was good to Lan Xiyao and would not abuse her power in the mansion. Instead, she knew how to hide so that people would barely notice her existence.

Since she upheld her identity as a caretaker, everyone in the mansion respected her, making it easier for her to make her move. However, the older woman did not know Lan Ruobing would dream about her brother getting poisoned on the same day she would take action.

Lan Ruobing could occasionally dream about things that would happen, so she knew it was an early warning. Then she could take precautions in advance and become wary of the older woman.

She arranged for one of the hidden guards to capture the caretaker, and the guard was none other than Shadow One, who was always by the prince and princess’s side.

The caretaker never expected to get exposed after being so careful and hiding all these years. She wanted to commit suicide by biting a poison pill after being captured by one of the mansion’s shadow guards.

However, Shadow One was prepared for it. He dislocated the older woman’s jaw and removed the poison pill she had hidden in her mouth. He even knew where she had hidden the pill, which shocked the caretaker.

The older woman looked like she had seen a ghost with her widened eyes.

‘How could this be? How do they know everything about me like the back of their hands?!’

Although she had thought so, Lan Ruobing was the one who told Shadow One about the caretaker. The young princess took the poison pill from the caretaker and said, “How vicious. It’s such an overpowering poison.”

‘If she succeeded in poisoning my brother, it would’ve weakened him, and I wouldn’t have been able to find out why. This is no ordinary poison.’

Then Lan Ruobing asked the shadow guards to bring the caretaker to the mansion’s interrogation room, where the three-year-old princess personally interrogated the caretaker.

Lan Ruobing walked steadily, spoke firmly, and looked like an adult. Everyone in the mansion listened to her words, and the shadow guards were highly respectful toward the young princess.

Shadow One was still a young man who Lan Xiyao and Bing Suwan had specially trained for their beloved daughter.

Nonetheless, the caretaker knew it was pointless to quibble, so she said, “I won’t say anything. It’s useless for you to interrogate me.”

After all, the older woman was a trained spy with special skills, so she would not reveal any secrets.

Lan Ruobing placed her small hands behind her back and walked around. Then she tilted her head and looked at the caretaker. “Is that so? No one can keep their mouths shut as long as I’m involved.”

Since her parents were not in the mansion, she had no choice but to be on high alert to protect the deceased royal’s mansion because the emperor was still trying to eliminate her brother. Therefore, the young princess dared not let her guard down.

She did not feel any kinship in her modern life, but she had exceptional parents and an intelligent brother in this one. Of course, she had to protect them. She would not allow anyone to hurt her family.

Lan Ruobing took out a pill and told one of the guards to feed it to the caretaker. She thought if she tortured the caretaker, she would tell them everything.

Lan Ruobing then discovered the emperor had a place where his people specialized in training spies. As for what the totem was, she still did not know.

She also discovered that someone else had given the poison to the caretaker but did not know who had made it.

Soon after, Lan Ruobing tasked someone to watch the caretaker because she planned to let her parents deal with the older woman when they returned. As for the place where the emperor trained his spies, the two parents later destroyed it in secret.

Chu Gujian suspected the duo but had no evidence against them.

When Lan Ruobing was six, she dreamed someone had lured her brother into a pond and drowned him. She had woken up early but was still too late, as someone had lured Shadow One away.

Even so, Lan Ruobing could only save her brother on her own and managed to fish him out of the pond. It was also during that time when the twin’s bodies weakened.

It was late autumn, and the water was cold. Since they were still children, they could not take it, and Lan Ruobing’s body started burning up. From then on, the young princess decided to personally train the shadow guards and the forces belonging to the deceased royal’s mansion.

Lan Ruobing had always relied on her own methods to protect her family and the residents in the mansion. She had even built and established Blue Mountain Academy in Teng He town when she dreamed about it.

“Aunt Binglan? Aunt Binglan.” Someone called out to her, and she slowly woke up. Then she saw Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai standing beside her, but she was still in a daze.

She was still thinking about her dream but knew it was not just a dream. Those were memories that belonged to her, memories of her past life—the memories of that wisp of soul she had seemingly lost.

‘I was Lan Ruobing.’

Although she had yet to recover her memories fully, she knew she had another identity. “B-Brother…”

‘I wonder how he’s doing now. I want to see him and check on him. Isn’t the mansion no longer around? What about my parents?!’

Su Binglan’s heart ached painfully as she thought of these things, her face pale.

Meanwhile, Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai were stunned and dared not move when they saw their aunt like that. They thought she looked different from her usual self.

Su Binglan did not return to her senses for a while and was utterly immersed in what she recalled from her past life. Her eyes were red with tears.

‘My brother is still alive, and I want to see him.’

She remembered Luo Jin’an saying her brother was fine for now. However, King Lan Ruozhu would not recognize Su Binglan if she had rushed there now. Hence, she wanted to know about King Lan Ruozhu through Luo Jin’an.

She wanted to cure her brother.

After finally returning to her senses, she calmed her nephews’ emotions and brought them to Blue Mountain Academy’s cafeteria to eat.

It was noon after Su Binglan had slept for a while, so it was time for the academy students’ lunch break. It was Su Binglan’s first time eating at the academy cafeteria.

She entered Blue Mountain Academy’s courtyard and saw many students walking around. Everyone could not stop smiling as they carried their lunch boxes to the cafeteria.

“I heard there will be ribs for lunch today.”

“Really?”

“It’s true. It was chicken wings yesterday. Today, it’s pork ribs.”

“Speaking of which, we must all thank Miss Su. If it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t have been able to eat such good food in the academy and at such low prices, too.”

“The food in our cafeteria is so cheap because Miss Su is the one who pays the bulk of the costs. We only have to spend a little, yet we can still eat our fill.”

“When I studied here last time, I would either bring cold and hard food or not have enough to eat. Now, everyone looks forward to their lunch break and going to the cafeteria the most.”

“We can eat a steamed bun and side dishes to fill our stomachs to save money. A big steamed bun like that only costs one copper coin, too. We can always have a second meal if that’s not enough. We can also ask the workers to help reheat our food if needed..”
