Su Binglan’s demeanor changed when she faced Lan Ruozhu. She seemed to have turned into Lan Ruobing like she was in her youth. She and her brother were in good health and carefree then.
Their father often guarded the border when they were children. Sometimes, their mother would be busy with other things or visit him. Therefore, Lan Ruobing spent most of her time with her brother.
Su Binglan recalled the sun shining brightly and beautifully at that time. Later, Lan Ruobing learned about the situation in the deceased royal’s mansion and knew the emperor wanted to kill her brother.
Knowing that many people wanted to attack the mansion, she had no choice but to start protecting the people she cared about. She died shortly after and reincarnated as Su Binglan three years later. Then her soul fused with its new body, and her memories slowly recovered.
When she lived as Lan Ruobing, she and her brother could only depend on each other when their parents passed away. None could describe what they felt at that time.
Lan Ruozhu’s tears fell as he listened to his sister’s words. He grabbed Su
Binglan’s hand tightly and said hoarsely, “Sister.”
He remembered Lan Ruobing speaking to him before passing away, saying she would return someday. She also said her appearance might change, but her memory would remain.
Then she told him that Blue Mountain Academy would create an opportunity of sorts. Lan Ruozhu was immersed in sorrow and only felt his sister was comforting him.
He suddenly recalled Lan Ruobings words and realized she could have predicted everything. After all, she had predicted many things before they happened.
Although he did not know why his sister had this ability, he knew what his sister said was true.
‘She’s alive. She’s back!’ Lan Ruozhu was too excited to speak. His emotions were fluctuating violently, and he felt his heart come alive. He felt he had a reason to live because he was no longer alone. He had his sister—his family.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan also tried her best to suppress her emotions and not cry. She remembered her brother getting anxious whenever she cried as a child, so she could not make him worry.
She nodded. “Yes, it’s me, Brother.’
Blue Eagle was ecstatic when he confirmed that Su Binglan was the princess.
He believed it was truly her because he had seen the princess’s unique abilities and heard her say miraculous things.
Moreover, Su Binglan mentioned secrets only she and her twin brother would know. Even the Shadow Guards did not know of such things. In addition, Lan Ruozhu!s strong connection to his sister confirmed his feelings. The twins were thrilled now that they had finally reunited.
Lan Ruozhu finally managed to calm down a little as he looked at Su Binglan’s plain clothes. His heart ached for her, asking, “How did you turn out this way? Did you suffer? Did people bully you?”
He had many questions for his long-lost sister. “Are you the Miss Su everyone is talking about?”
Su Binglan lightly nodded and smiled. “You don’t have to worry about me, Brother. I’m okay. I have parents and relatives who love me, so I never suffered any grievances. I only recently regained my memories, or I would’ve gone looking for you long ago.”
Lan Ruozhu did not care about himself, only his sister. He was relieved as long as she did well. “It’s good that you didn’t suffer. I can only feel at ease if you live well.’
Su Binglan was his only remaining family, and he wanted to give everything to her. When he was a child, he had always thought that, as a man, he should protect his sister.
Still, it was always his sister who protected him. As an older brother, Lan Ruozhu had not done much for his sister. He even thought Lan Ruobing would not have died if she had not saved him.
No one knew the guilt and remorse he felt in his heart. Only he thought about these things and suffered. He only felt relieved when he saw his sister was healthy.
Su Binglan looked at Lan Ruozhu. ‘You didn’t take good care of yourself, Brother.’
The twins had somewhat of a telepathic connection. Thus, she knew her brother had failed to care for himself. Lan Ruozhu wanted to refute but did not know how to explain himself. Instead, he said, “I’ll listen to you and take better care of myself.
“Are you alright now?” He was most worried about Su Binglan’s physical condition.
After all, her body was weak when she was younger. Although intelligent, she could not do many things because of her condition.
“I’m in excellent health now, and I know medicine. I can cure you, Brother. Do you remember what Mother said before? She said my soul was incomplete. I later learned that this bodys soul is incomplete, too.
“When I died as Lan Ruobing, I reincarnated as Su Binglan. That process completed mv soul, and I gradually restored mv memories,” Su Binglan explained.
Lan Ruozhu understood what she meant. “No matter who you look like now, I only care that you’re my sister.”
Su Binglan smiled lightly. “I will cure you and protect you, Brother. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”
Lan Ruozhu stroked her hair. “I’m the elder twin here, silly sister. I should be protecting you. I won’t let anything happen to you again.” His expression was fierce as he spoke.
Su Binglan placed great importance on his safety. She said, “I can’t call you my brother in front of outsiders. We can’t let anyone know where your weakness
“No,” Lan Ruozhu said, “You’re my sister, and that’s final. How about this? I’ll announce to the public that I’ve acknowledged a sworn sister. Then you can be the princess.”
He was stubborn in this aspect.
Su Binglan said with furrowed brows, “B-But that’s—
Without waiting for her to finish, Lan Ruozhu interjected, “There are no buts, Sister. I would’ve only lived for revenge without you around. You’re a princess with noble status, so I want to protect you and not let you suffer. Also, it’ll be more convenient for you to do many more things as a princess.”
Su Binglan fell silent after hearing this.
‘Brother is right. If I were a princess, it’d be more convenient for me to do more meaningful things. After all, I still want to help everyone in his territory.’
She wanted the county to become wealthy and mold it into an impenetrable fortress. That way, it would be a stable place to defend, even if a war broke out.
The current county was still barren, with low food and weapons production. That was why the emperor allowed Lan Ruozhu to visit Teng County. In the emperor’s eyes, Lan Ruozhu could not do anything in a remote and barren place like Teng County..
