Legitimate Daughter of the Noble Family - C144

Jin Lan immediately headed towards the old lady’s room the moment he went back home, but he was stopped by Pin Yue who was guarding the door.

“Second Miss, the old lady just rested for a while, she had instructed no one to disturb her, and also said that if Second Miss came back, she would let him go back to her room to rest, and then come over for dinner.” Pin Yue bent her knees and said with a smile.

Jin Lan naturally knew the old lady’s habit of taking a nap. The reason for walking this time was to show her face, and the second reason was because of the three pots of Jade Tender Flower.

She told Mu Lan to move the two best Jade Tender Flowers under the eaves of the house, then smiled and said: “The old lady loves the Jade Tender Flowers the most, amongst these two, there is one that is a rare sight. I will trouble Big Sister Pin Yue to put it in the house later, when the old lady sees it when she wakes up, she will be happy as well.”

Pin Yue looked at the Jade Dai Hua that was lying in the pottery pot, and sure enough, it had bloomed extremely well, she laughed and answered repeatedly. After seeing Jin Lan off, she called for two servant girls, carefully brought the flowers in, and placed them on the window sill.

Just as she was done, she heard Old Madame Ye cough out from inside: “Girl Lan is back?”

Pin Yue quickly poured a cup of tea and gently helped the Old Madame Ye to lie on the bed. She whispered: “I’m back, and I even specially sent two stalks of Jade Tender Flower.”

“Oh?” Old Madame Ye raised hhereyebrow, she took a sip of the warm tea, his gaze swept around the room, seeing the flowers on the window, his gaze relaxed, “It’s difficult for this girl, remember me when you go out to enjoy the flowers.”

Pin Yue took the teacup in Old Madame Ye’s hands, and tweaked the embroidered bed. She could not help but laugh: “Second Miss has always been considerate to the old granny, so I naturally miss the old granny wherever I go.”

Old Madame Ye raised her head and looked at Pin Yue, her eyes deep and profound. Pin Yue did not know what she said wrongly, her heart feeling uneasy, but she still forced a smile on her face.

After a while, the Old Madame Ye opened her eyes and stared at the two Jade Daughters on the windowsill. She said slowly and coldly: “Go and call old granny Wang over.”

“Yes.” Pin Yue bowed her head and complied with a low voice, withdrawing from the room to find Old Lady Wang. Looking at Old Lady Wang’s disappearing figure behind the bead curtain, she felt a chill in her heart.

Even Pin Yue, who was standing guard outside the door, had no way of knowing what the Old Madame Ye and Grandma Wang had said. Furthermore, since Jin Lan had returned to her East Wing, she had asked the Mama Tang to place the remaining red jade tofu on the red plum blossoms in the corner of the room. Soon after, the entire room was filled with a strong fragrance of flowers.

Mu Lan left the house early in the morning and ran around outside for a long time, unavoidably feeling tired. She quickly brought hot water for Jin Lan to wash her face, and only then was she able to recover a little. Looking at Mu Lan who was about to leave, she said with a light laugh: “Alright, you guys bought some nectar and pastries today, it’s been hard on you. Go ahead and rest, leave the rest to Mama Tang.”

Mu Lan knew that the young lady wanted to talk with the Mama Tang, so she answered crisply, before turning around and walking out. She had just taken two steps when she suddenly stopped, turned her head to look at Jin Lan, and wanted to say something but hesitated.

“What is it? What else is there? ” Jin Lan put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Mu Lan in puzzlement.

Mu Lan held onto the handkerchief in her hand, hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth: “Miss, there is a matter, this servant does not know, and does not know whether or not I should say it.”

Jin Lan was startled, Mu Lan had been waiting by her side since early in the morning, and when they went to the rice shop, they separated. The next moment, they were not even a step apart, why did they suddenly …

She gave a deep glance at Mu Lan, but didn’t reply. Mama Tang, who was watching on the side, couldn’t help but scold her: “What kind of nonsense is that? Didn’t I remind you of everything that I’ve told you? Now that you’re a servant of a young lady, you have to tell her clearly about whatever it is that you need to do! Could it be that he wants to hide it!? ”

Mu Lan never thought that the Mama Tang would suddenly change her expression, she was so scared that she did not even dare to breathe loudly, “This servant doesn’t dare!” Although the master was a lady, the person in charge of the courtyard was usually the Mama Tang, and although the Mama Tang was approachable, if any servant made a mistake, even Wan Ju and Bi He would not be able to escape punishment, thus the servants and wives of the Lan Garden were both respectful and fearful of the Mama Tang.

“Alright, Mama.” Jin Lan sighed, she lowered her eyes and said indifferently: “I reckon that the things that Mu Lan has to say, even she cannot do it, that is why she is hesitating.”

Jin Lan’s words made Mu Lan nod her head, she carefully glanced at Mama Tang, and then said: “This servant just finished buying the sweet honey, and just happened to see someone when I went to the Hundred Flavors Temple to buy the pastries.”

“Who is it?” Jin Lan couldn’t help but sit up and ask.

“That person looks like, like the Big Sister Man Ping in Madam’s room.” Mu Lan quickly spat out the words in her heart. Actually, at that time when there were many people passing by, she did not see it clearly. But ever since the young lady had walked across the Shuixie Pavilion from time to time, the people around her had always been familiar with the servants in the Shuixie Pavilion, especially with the close and close Man Ping and.

Man Ping? Jin Lan was slightly startled, today was neither a festival nor was it the end of the month, there was no time for the head maid to rest and visit her relatives, how could Man Ping leave the Palace? Furthermore, she had secretly revealed to her mother that she was not allowed to let the servants in the Shuixie Pavilion go on leave. With how much her mother valued her, it was even more impossible for her to let Man Ping out of the house.

However, if what Mu Lan said was true, then I am afraid…

Jin Lan thought for a moment before asking, “Did you see it clearly?”

Mu Lan thought about it, and in the end, still shook her head dejectedly, “This servant only looked at the side of my face, and was just about to look carefully, when that person disappeared into the alley beside the shop. This servant was worried that the young lady might get anxious from waiting, so I didn’t follow. ”

Jin Lan looked at Mu Lan’s vexed expression and suddenly laughed, “There are so many people who share similar views in this world. “Well, don’t think too much about it. Go and rest. We’ll have to wait on Grandmother in her room later.”

Mu Lan bit her lips and nodded, curtsied and left, closing the door at the same time.

Only when the footsteps outside gradually disappeared did Mama Tang turn around and look at Jin Lan: “Miss, why don’t you explain it clearly?”

Jin Lan’s white fingertips caressed the bracelet of Jade Seal Stone Buddha beads on his wrist as he smiled faintly. “When something comes to an end, just asking about it will only be counterproductive.” She did not doubt Mu Lan’s loyalty, but there were some things that had not yet been announced to the public.

“Could it be that I’ve truly misjudged him?” Mama Tang frowned and muttered.

Jin Lan lowered his head and thought for a while, then sneered in his heart, “Why is Mama so conflicted? Whether it’s true or not, can’t you just have someone secretly check it out with your mother? ”

The Mama Tang listened and nodded, then said, “This servant will let Wen Zhu take a look at the Shuixie Pavilion.” Finished speaking, she turned around and left the room, giving Wen Zhu instructions in a low voice before hurrying back.

Jin Lan told her to close the door and windows tightly before taking out the Agarwood Box that she had been hiding in her sleeve. After thinking for a while, he took off the pouch tied around her waist and locked it together with the rest of the box in the corner.

Although the Mama Tang was not clear about the black stone that Jin Lan had taken out in the rice shop, but since it was locked up with the Agarwood Box, it must be something very important. After pondering for a moment, she could not help but say: “Young lady, it is better to send the item to my wife’s room as soon as possible.

Jin Lan shook his head, and put away the copper key before continuing, “Although Grandmother agreed that I should go to Meng Mansion to attend the banquet, I still couldn’t relax. Thinking about it now, since that old granny Wang has already entered the main house, if I were to head towards mother’s place again, I’m afraid that it would attract even more attention. Doctor Gong would only enter the Palace two days later. At that time, even if we go back in the past in name only, Grandmother still wouldn’t be able to say anything. ”

Mama Tang thought about it and felt that it was reasonable, so she did not speak anymore, and supported her up to rest.

Presumably, the peace on this side of the East Wing was overcast.

After Grandma Wang left, the Old Madame Ye called out for Pin Yue to enter the house. But at that moment, she no longer had a smile on her face.

Pin Yue waited on her carefully, afraid that she would anger the old lady who was in charge of controlling the life and death situation in the Ye Family.

Old Madame Ye was half-lying on the Twin Moon Caves’ artifact Luo Han’s bed, holding a string of emerald buddhist beads in her hand. Each bead was jade green and glistening, and as she moved her fingers, the atmosphere in the room became extremely solemn.

Based on what Grandma Wang had said, the Meng Mansion Flower Viewing Banquet this time only invited a few insignificant families, such as the Bai Clan and Zhao Clan did not receive an invitation from the Meng Family. This did not seem like the style of the Madame Qin at all.

It was sufficient to say that there was definitely something fishy about it. In addition to the relationship between Madame Qin and the Madame SHen, there was a high chance that it was related to Ye Family.

Old Madame Ye’s expression became more and more unsightly. After a while, she slowly opened her mouth and asked: “Has Second Miss regained her East Wing?”

Pin Yue knelt on the bed obediently, both of his hands holding the beauty hammer. As she was hammering on the bed, she suddenly heard the old lady’s voice, and his hands paused for a moment, before she quickly replied: “Second Miss sent the flowers to the main house and returned to East Wing as instructed by the old lady.” After finishing her sentence, she continued, “Only Wen Zhu, that maid, left the courtyard. She said that she would bring two boxes of snacks to my wife’s room.”

Old Madame Ye glanced at Pin Yue, “You’re smart.”

Pin Yue’s face turned awkward, she did not know what to say, so she buried her head in silence, and continued to hammer herself.

The Old Madame Ye did not argue with her. She narrowed her eyes and thought for a while, then said in a low voice: “Later on, you go ask Wen Zhu if she knows anything, and secretly check if anyone is out of the Shuixie Pavilion today. “Also …” Pausing, she then said coldly: “Tell Girl Lan that he doesn’t need to wait in my room for a few days.”

Pin Yue was shocked, she was afraid that the old lady had angered the Second Miss!
