Legitimate Daughter of the Noble Family - C137
The more Jin Lan thought about it, the more impatient he became. He wished that he could immediately find the Manager Shi and ask them about it.
“Lan Er.” Madame SHen looked at her daughter’s anxious little face and could not help but frown. “Is there something wrong with this Manager Shi?”
Madame SHen’s words allowed Jin Lan’s fervent thoughts to clear up, and he immediately calmed down.
Let’s not talk about whether there were actually any news on the Snow Twig at the Manager Shi s place, just the matter of her and Yan Ye would be hard to explain. Moreover, all of this was just his guess, whether or not the Snow Twig thing was done was uncertain.
After thinking about it, Jin Lan laughed, and said softly: “No, Lan Er only thought about it, this time it is all thanks to Manager Shi, if not Lan Er would probably still be in the dark!”
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Jin Lan’s words, Madame SHen’s eyes flashed. She no longer wanted her daughter to worry, so she took this opportunity to ask her about the matters in the capital.
Jin Lan naturally didn’t mention anything that might cause Madame SHen to worry. He only picked up a few interesting pieces of news from the capital, causing the laughter and chatter in the room to become more frequent.
Although Mama Shang who was waiting at the side also had a faint smile on her face, she knew very clearly in her heart that this young Second Miss who was only ten years old was living a soul-stirring life in the Ye Family’s ancestral home in the capital.
The mother and daughter chatted for a long time, until exhaustion appeared in Madame SHen’s eyes, Jin Lan personally helped her rest, and the Doctor Gong also took his leave.
“Doctor Gong, take care.” Jin Lan tucked the blanket back in Madame SHen, then stood up and smiled: “I have been troubling Doctor Gong for these past few days, let Lan Er send you on your way in place of Mother.”
Seeing Jin Lan’s smiling face, a glint flashed past Doctor Gong’s eyes. He pursed his lips and said, “How dare I trouble young miss to send you off.”
Even though she said that, she slowed down her pace.
Mama Zhu was worried, hence she decided to stay behind to take care of the situation for a few days. Jin Lan brought Mama Shang and left the Shuixie Pavilion together with them.
On the way, Jin Lan didn’t say anything, and Doctor Gong didn’t even glance at him. The two of them slowly walked through the garden and walked along the corridor, heading to the courtyard.
Doctor Gong couldn’t help but admire the Second Miss’s patience when he saw that the Flower Gate that separated the inner and outer courtyard was already in sight and the person beside him still remained calm.
She reached out to stroke the few strands of hair that fell by her ear and said indifferently: “If Second Miss has anything to say, just say it out loud.”
The corners of Jin Lan’s mouth slightly curled up before quickly returning to normal.
The silence along the way was a silent contest. Whoever opened their mouth first would be disqualified.
Although the Doctor Gong was trustworthy, that was only for her mother and it had nothing to do with her.
What she had to do next was too risky. She had to get the Doctor Gong to support her fully.
Otherwise, with a single wrong step, the entire plate would fall apart.
After some thought, Jin Lan turned his head and shot a look at Mama Shang who was behind him.
The Mama Shang understood and turned around to find a reason, causing Wan Ju and Bi He to temporarily stay behind.
These tricks did not escape the eyes of the Doctor Gong, and a meaningful gaze appeared in her eyes.
It seemed that the Second Miss that his wife had given him was much more intelligent than he had imagined!
This was to use this opportunity to express her trust in me. Furthermore, she had barged into the capital alone, and she could return back to the Yangzhou without incident … Perhaps, this time, he might be able to …
A trace of anticipation suddenly rose in Doctor Gong’s heart.
Jin Lan didn’t make her wait long. He took a few more steps forward, glanced left and right indifferently, and then suppressed his voice as he muttered a few words in a low voice.
It was just because these few words did not seem important, that Doctor Gong’s usually calm face instantly lost all color.
“Hu, nonsense!” Doctor Gong’s throat tightened, a thin layer of cold sweat suddenly seeped out from his back. He no longer cared about his identity, lowering his pale face, and said softly, “This matter is not to be allowed!”
“Doctor Gong.” He was not discouraged. Instead, she looked around and said calmly, “Now that things have progressed to this point, no matter who the person hiding by my mother’s side is, it is no longer the most important matter.” He paused for a moment and then said coldly, “The most important thing is what that person saw and heard!”
On her young and tender face, there was a hint of coldness and sternness that caused Doctor Gong to be stumped for words. In fact, it was not that she didn’t know about it, it was just that the plan Jin Lan proposed was too risky.
After thinking about it for a moment, she still hesitated, “What if …”
“Just in case!” She took a deep breath and said solemnly: “As long as everything is properly arranged, there can’t be any chance, and there can’t be any chance!”
In her heart, there was nothing more important than her mother’s safety. Naturally, she would not allow anything to go wrong. If not for the fear of unexpected consequences, he would not have used such a dangerous method.
“If I want to do this flawlessly, I’m afraid it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven.” Having said that, the Doctor Gong started to weigh the pros and cons of the mission. After a while, he looked at the Second Miss with a complicated expression and asked softly: “How confident are you?”
Hearing Doctor Gong’s question, Jin Lan knew that she had heaved a sigh of relief. He sighed in his heart and nodded his head heavily, “Doctor Gong can be rest assured. As he spoke, his voice gradually became softer, as he slowly spoke out all the thoughts in his mind.
The more Doctor Gong heard, the more shocked she was. Although she felt that this Second Miss was intelligent, in the end, he still underestimated her. Who would have thought that this intertwining plan actually came from a ten year old little girl!
After memorizing everything that Jin Lan had said, she mentioned a few things that people would easily overlook. The two of them thought about it for a while before coming to a conclusion.
After confirming that it was completely exhausted, Doctor Gong nodded his head lightly, raised his voice, and said: “Second Miss has just returned from the capital, all the way here are exhausted, I’m afraid you are tired, send it here!”
Jin Lan nodded his head, and smiled submissively: “If that’s the case, then Doctor Gong can leave.” With that, he turned and called Bi He, telling her to send Doctor Gong out.
It was only until the figure of the Doctor Gong disappeared behind the Flowerflower Gate did Jin Lan turn around and slowly walk toward the Lan Garden.
Now that the flowers were blooming in the spring, the flowers in the garden were blooming in unison, causing the colorful butterflies to fly in the air. The air was filled with an intoxicating fragrance.
Even though Jin Lan’s gaze fell upon the flowers, all he could think about was Shuixie Pavilion.
How could she not hate her mother when her body had reached such a state?
Although she could take care of all the servants inside and outside the Shuixie Pavilion, but looking at the current situation of Concubine Shao being favored, it was hard to not extend her hand twice. At that time it would be even harder to guard against.
As a person who had experienced two lifetimes, she knew how to endure and scheme.
Since he couldn’t find it, then let that person jump out himself!
Jin Lan turned his head to the side and looked at the blue sky. A trace of hostility flashed across his slightly narrowed eyes.
Mama Tang had already received the letter from Jin Lan to return home, and was currently waiting at the main entrance. When she saw Jin Lan and the others coming from afar, she couldn’t help but excitedly greet them: “Miss!”
“Mama.” Looking at Mama Tang’s caring and loving face, Jin Lan’s nose turned sour, “Long time no see, how’s Mama?”
“Alright, alright.” Mama Tang grabbed Jin Lan’s small hand and looked it over carefully. Seeing that she did not look uncomfortable, he then heaved a sigh of relief, “Miss, you have returned safely.
Looking at Mama Tang’s abased face and the tears that were flashing in the corners of his eyes, Jin Lan’s eyes couldn’t help but turn red.
As Wan Ju watched from the side, she recalled the dangerous situations that had occurred in the capital’s ancestral residence and couldn’t help but turn her head away.
Although Mama Shang was also filled with emotion, after all, she had seen a lot of wind and waves in the palace, so she was still somewhat rational. She glanced at the few maidservants in the distance and walked up to them with a smile: “Elder sister, this lady is worried about Madam. As she spoke, she grasped Mama Tang’s hand tightly, and her chin slightly moved to the left.
Mama Tang followed her instructions, although her eyes were misty, they still saw a few head poking and head poking maidservants, she immediately understood, and quickly used her sleeve to wipe the corner of her eyes, nodding: “Even this servant is confused! It’s cold outside, please come in quickly. ”
After saying that, he led Jin Lan and the rest into the courtyard. After Jin Lan entered, the Mama Tang called for Wen Zhu in a low voice, telling her to stand guard at the gate. She also told anyone who came to inquire about the news to tell them that they did not know.
After making the necessary arrangements, Mama Tang relaxed and prepared to enter the house. However, after taking two steps, she suddenly turned around and hurried towards the kitchen.
Even though it was spring and the Yangzhou was located in the southern part of the country, due to the continuous spring rain, warmth and cold weather, coupled with the fact that the Jin Lan’s body was weak and fearful of the cold, Mama Tang, after receiving the message, immediately had her men place a small basin of Silverfrost Charcoal in the corner of the main house.
As soon as Jin Lan entered the room, he felt the heat pouncing on him. The thick jacket and cape on his body became a burden. A thin layer of sweat appeared on his body in just a short while.
Fortunately, she had hot water prepared in her ears, Wan Ju and the Mama Shang hurriedly helped her wash.
Just as she sat down on the white plum blossom bed, Mama Tang opened the curtain and entered the house, behind him was Mu Lan who was still holding onto the chicken wings wood and red lacquer carving case.
“Miss didn’t ask anyone to send a message in advance when she returned home. She was in a hurry and couldn’t make anything good from the kitchen. I cooked some rice porridge, and Miss started with some food. If there’s anything you want to eat, feel free to tell me.”
Mama Tang took the food, and neatly placed the dishes on the small square table with red wood sculptures. For a moment, a tempting fragrance filled the air in the room.
Jin Lan got off the boat and rushed back to the mansion. He hadn’t even had a few mouthfuls of breakfast before he realized how hungry he was after smelling the aroma. She looked at the food on the table and asked Mama Shang and Wan Ju to go down to eat too, leaving Mama Tang and Mu Lan to wait on them.
But before Jin Lan could move his chopsticks, he heard Wen Zhu’s report from outside the door, “Miss, the third lady is here.”
