The Wei Residence is located in Zhuque Store, and there are a total of six families in this place, among which the Lan Family is diagonally across from them.
The elder of the Lan Family, Lan Bingcen, is the Assistant Left Imperial Censor, also an official of the fifth-rank. However, he is a character that no officials are willing to confront.
What does an Imperial Censor do? They are the ones who scrutinize, even daring to impeach the Emperor, let alone the officials.
And Lan Bingcen is a particularly talented one, extrely straightforward in nature, and quite just as an Imperial Censor. One more thing is, the old man especially loves ddling in others’ affairs. As long as he encounters sothing he feels is unjust, he will definitely argue it out with you.
To be honest, among so many censors, the Emperor is quite apprehensive of this old man.
Usually, this old man would be at the Governor’s Office at this ti, but today, for so unknown reason, he actually ca back and coincidentally was just getting off the sedan chair.
So, soone’s shout attracted the old man over.
Originally, if Wei Ran just fainted, saying sothing like "heatstroke" and it would have passed. But unfortunately, just now in the carriage, Wei Yangshi couldn’t hold back and slapped Wei Ran’s delicate face into a swollen one, so before Wei Yangshi could react, Lan Bingcen caught sight of Wei Ran: "How did it get beaten like this?"
Wei Yangshi muttered a bad word in her heart, hurriedly rushed down, and had soone quickly carry Wei Ran inside, then looked at Lan Bingcen: "Master Lan, it’s just a maid who made a mistake."
"Servant?"
"Yes, unless Master Lan wants to intervene in how I discipline my servants?" Wei Yangshi forced a smile, "This is a matter of the inner residence, that girl had sticky fingers..." Beaten like that, she didn’t believe the other party could recognize it was Wei Ran.
"Your illegitimate daughter has beco a servant?" Lan Bingcen raised his thick eyebrows.
"Master Lan misunderstood..."
"Is that so?" Lan Bingcen frowned, "Then bring that girl out for to see..."
After all, living across for seven or eight years, how could he have never seen her even once?
"Master Lan." Wei Yangshi smiled, "You are an Imperial Censor, you should be watching the Court and attending to national affairs. How can you be staring at a maid in our inner residence? If this gets out, it will be said that you’re not respecting your age..." After saying that, she turned and entered the courtyard.
"You..." Lan Bingcen was left standing at the doorway, so angry that his beard was sticking out, "A vile person and a woman are hard to deal with!" After that, he turned and started to walk back, but stopped after two steps, "No, I can’t ignore this matter. Even if it’s a servant, they shouldn’t be beaten like that, right?" Then he turned and got on the sedan chair, "To the Court of Judicial." He won’t write a morial for now, but he needs to have a word with Wei Shicheng.
And after Wei Yangshi returned to the courtyard, although she was very unwilling, she still had a doctor called to treat Wei Ran, there’s no helping it, she had to maintain her reputation for being virtuous and generous.
Regarding Lan Bingcen just now, she wasn’t too worried. After all, who hasn’t punished a maid who made a mistake? She didn’t believe that this man nad Lan would report this to impeach her father-in-law.
Even if he really did report it, her father-in-law wouldn’t mind.
What she was most worried about was Yang Ruxin.
She wouldn’t gossip about her own scandal, but seeing her attitude towards herself, this was a direct fallout with the Wei Family. So next, how would she deal with the Wei Family?
