Chapter 325: Chapter 325 General Zhan is So Rebellious!

Zhan Lan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, when suddenly she heard a noise outside the door.

Her grandfather’s voice came through, "Lan’er, your grandfather might have spoken too harshly that day. Don’t be upset. You are getting married tomorrow. On the windowsill, there is a jade pendant left by your grandmother for her direct granddaughter. I have placed it here."

Zhan Lan did not speak; Zhan Xinzhang saw the shadow under the candlelight shake as Zhan Lan seemed to sit up from the bed, so he left.

Covered in robes, Zhan Lan came out of the room and saw the jade pendant on the windowsill.

She looked into the distance, watching her grandfather’s figure gradually disappearing into the night.

Zhan Lan picked up the jade pendant and went back inside; she held the pendant up under the candlelight—a white jade pendant, pure and flawless.

Only today did she realize her biological grandmother wasn’t someone who valued males over females.

Before her death, she had prepared wedding gifts for her grandsons and granddaughters.

Touching the cold jade pendant, Zhan Lan felt a warmth in her heart.

Actually, everyone is loved, it’s just that sometimes we don’t know it.

Grasping the jade pendant in her hand, Zhan Lan lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, Liu Xi and Xiao Tao had been waiting outside since early from the side quarters.

The two watched Zhan Lan get up and entered the room to attend to her, and the wedding planner also arrived at the mansion early, continuously praising her beauty with joy.

Zhan Lan changed into her bridal gown, tied her hair, applied rouge and face powder, and put on her jewelry.

Suddenly, laughter resembling that from children in New Year paintings echoed high and low.

Zhan Rui ran in, and Zhan Heng was also sent back by Yun He, the Hidden Guard of the Regent Prince Mansion. The two children, dressed very festively, leaned on the window to watch Zhan Lan.

"Sister!"

"Sister!"

Zhan Lan waved them inside, and after they entered, Liu Xi cautioned, "Young master, young miss, please be careful not to mess up your sister’s hair and clothes!"

Zhan Rui, with her round eyes, looked at Zhan Lan and said, "Sister, mother said you are my real sister, and sister Xuerou is not born by mother, is that true?"

Zhan Lan smiled and nodded, "It’s true. I am the real sister of you two little mischiefs!"

Zhan Heng excitedly said, "No wonder we like you so much, Sister Mengmeng, you are so beautiful today!"

Zhan Lan smiled with a curl of her lips, "You two also look very nice."

"Sister Mengmeng, are you marrying the handsome brother... brother-in-law today?" Zhan Rui asked Zhan Lan with her head tilted.

"Yes, do you two like Mu Yan?" Zhan Lan’s fingers gently touched the heads of the two little ones.

"We like him!"

"We like brother-in-law the most!"

"That’s good!" Zhan Lan smiled as she looked at herself in the bronze mirror. The wedding dress felt a bit heavy, and today’s makeup also needed to be more radiant and dignified.

Thinking that she would soon see Mu Yan.

Her hand involuntarily clenched the sleeve, not sure if it was excitement or nervousness.

Qin Shuang entered and said, "You two little ones, go outside, don’t cause any trouble!"

Fearful of Qin Shuang, Zhan Rui and Zhan Heng quickly left.

Qin Shuang looked at Zhan Lan, adorned in her phoenix coronet and robes of rank, utterly charming and elegant.

She held back her tears, smiling, "Lan’er, being a wife is different from being a daughter. You must respect your husband as a guest, love each other dearly to grow old together."

Zhan Lan looked at her mother, retorted, "Mother, I haven’t even married yet, and you are already siding with your son-in-law!"

Made shy by Zhan Lan’s words, Qin Shuang said, "You child, of course, your mother is on your side!"

"I think you’ve been bought off by Mu Yan’s jewelry!" Zhan Lan teased with a flick of her lips.

Qin Shuang helplessly shook her head, "I can’t argue with you."

"Lan’er, your elder brother hasn’t returned today, don’t be sad..." Qin Shuang said with a hint of regret.

Zhan Lan smiled, "He must have been delayed on the road."

The wedding planner approached and said, "Miss, the auspicious hour is upon us, the eighteen-bearer palanquin from the Regent Prince Mansion has arrived!"

Zhan Lan lifted the red bridal veil above her head and said boldly, "Let’s go!"

Qin Shuang laughed and said, "You, girl, are as if heading to battle!"

Zhan Lan, assisted by the wedding planner and Liu Xi, prepared to leave.

After just two steps, she heard a familiar voice calling her, "Lan’er!"

Zhan Lan lifted the red veil, and to her delight, saw Zhan Hui appearing in front of her door.

Not seen for three years, Zhan Hui had matured into a man, dressed in a blue robe and travel-worn.

"Big brother!" Zhan Lan felt immense joy in her heart, her brother had come back at the moment of her marriage.

Moreover, from Zhan Hui’s expression, it seemed he had already learned of her identity.

Zhan Hui’s throat rolled as he spoke, "Sister, I just changed my clothes, I hope I didn’t miss the auspicious hour?"

Qin Shuang, tearfully excited, said, "Hui’er, carry your sister on your back to the bridal sedan!"

Zhan Lan, with tears in her eyes, looked towards Zhan Hui, whose eyes were also red.

Zhan Hui bent down and patted his back.

Zhan Lan was carried on his back, and lying on his back she said, "Big brother, even though we don’t quite look alike, I’ve always felt you truly are like my own elder brother when we were children."

Zhan Hui gently laughed, "Big brother has always felt the same."

Zhan Lan felt the back of her big brother was like a mountain, giving her a sense of security, in this world, only two people made her feel this way, Mu Yan and big brother.

"I never thought you would marry Mu Yan," Zhan Hui said as he walked on the red carpet.

Zhan Lan smiled, "Then big brother, whom do you think I should marry?"

Zhan Hui laughed, "I think it’s very good. I always feel Mu Yan is not as simple as people think, as long as he treats you well, that’s good. If he ever wrongs you, tell your big brother, and I will help you..."

Zhan Lan swayed her embroidered shoe, "Is there anyone now who dares to bully your sister?"

Zhan Hui nodded, "It seems like it..."

Their voices gradually drowned out by the sounds of firecrackers.

Zhan Lan, under the bridal veil, stealthily glimpsed a man on a white horse, then withdrew her gaze as a charismatic voice arose.

"Lan’er, I’ve come to marry you!"

Zhan Lan’s eyes under the bridal veil brightened; she was eager to see what Mu Yan looked like today.

Under the bridal veil, she could only hear the noises from the gathered crowd, firecrackers, and the sound of drums and gongs.

"The Regent King is truly majestic and peerlessly handsome!"

"A hundred rounds of dowry gifts plus fifty rounds of wedding presents, and an eighteen-bearer palanquin, today the Brave General truly departs in grandeur!"

"Isn’t it? This is indeed a grand celebration in our royal city!"

...

The voices of the people reached Zhan Lan’s ears, they still called her the General.

Next, what nobody expected happened; under the bridal veil, Zhan Lan looked towards the Ferghana horse decorated with red silk and suddenly threw up her bridal veil into the air.

The figure rushing into her vision was Mu Yan, his clothes fluttering like fierce flames, his handsome face smiling at her. In the moment the bridal veil fell, Mu Yan caught her with one hand and lifted her onto the horse.

The wedding planner hurried to catch the bridal veil, equally surprised by the General’s rebellious act.

The next moment, what no one expected happened; Mu Yan and Zhan Lan rode off together on a single horse as fast as the wind.
