Legitimate Daughter of the Noble Family - C165

Next day

Jin Lan remembered the Madame SHen in her heart. At night, she let Mu Lan scout twice, and after finding out that Ye Lin was resting inside the Madame SHen’s room, she didn’t sleep soundly the entire night. She tossed and turned until the sky started to brighten up, and when she stood up, the green shadows in her eyes were even heavier than they were a few days ago.

“Miss, it’s a good thing for Master to go to her wife’s room! Why are you worried? ” Mama Tang did not experience much from her previous life, and only from the perspective of an ordinary person, the old master and her wife’s intimacy was something he wished for, but the young lady seemed to be preoccupied.

In the jade and porcelain jar that was half-opened, there was a little bit of the peach blossom powder commonly used by young girls, slowly smeared under her eyelids, “Mama, I am just worried, if father is tired of mother again, mother’s position in the palace will really fall into the mud.”

Even if Ye Lin did not intend to do this, with an old lady on his side, he could not be careless.

However, no matter how much she didn’t want her mother to get closer to Ye Lin, the heartless person, there was nothing she could do to stop her.

Fortunately, Ye Lin’s intimacy had somehow raised his mother’s position in the household. Those self-righteous female stewards all had to think carefully to not show their heads too much.

At least for now, not all of it was bad.

“Lady, there is no need to think too much into it. As the saying goes, once a soldier comes, there will be no obstacle. There is no obstacle in this world that cannot be overcome.” Mama Tang persuaded Yue Yang to help her tie the conch, and then he searched around for a suitable hairpin.

Slightly rummaging through it, she couldn’t help but let out a cry as she picked up a hairpin and said with a puzzled expression, “Didn’t you say that you lost this lamb fat jade Jasmine hairpin last time? “Why are you in the mirror again?”

Jin Lan’s gaze moved to Mama Tang’s hands and slightly froze. This hairpin …

That’s right, this hairpin was probably taken away by Yan Ye in a hurry during Lingji Temple last time. It wasn’t until that night at the main house in the capital that a servant girl named Zhu’er used it as a keepsake, and it only returned to her hands once more.

She took the hairpin from Mama Tang’s hand and held it in her palm to read it. She did not wear this hairpin often, and had lost sight of it for almost half a year, but the goatfat jade looked even more smooth and smooth, as if it was rubbed on her hand every now and then. The entire jasmine flower was glistening with light, as if it was about to fall down from the sky.

“Is that him?” Jin Lan murmured softly. His scallion-like fingertip slowly moved along the jasmine flower on Tulily. A slight chill seeped through his fair skin and slowly seeped into his body.

In a trance, a thick hand suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

His fingers were long and slender, and his joints were distinct. Perhaps it was because he had been practicing martial arts all year round, but a thin layer of cocoon had formed on his palm.

It was precisely this kind of hand that had almost taken her life in the Lingji Temple, yet had gripped the cold blade for her in the bloody night of Yuanxiao.

“Miss, take this!” Mama Tang picked out a red jellyfish Dengmei hairpin from the mirror. The little bird was even holding a round and smooth south pearl in each of its mouth, which looked very cute and elegant against the lustful red peach blossoms on Jin Lan’s body.

Seeing that Mama Tang was about to insert the hairpin into her hair, Jin Lan suddenly extended his hand to stop him, “No need, just bring this along.” As she spoke, she handed over the goatee jade hairpin in his hand.

“This one?” Mama Tang took it and placed it on her head, and said hesitantly: “Isn’t it a little too pure?”

Jin Lan was stunned. He lowered his eyes as if he had just returned to his senses, and covered the panic and shyness that spread from his eyes. He still insisted, “I just came to Mother’s room to pay my respects, so it’s alright.”

Mama Tang thought for a moment, then let her be. She returned the red jade hairpin to the mirror, and then placed the small hairpin onto Jin Lan’s head.

Right after she was done packing, Mu Lan carried the box containing the breakfast and hastily entered the room. She placed the box on the table, walked forward and said softly: “Miss, there is something you need to tell me.”

Jin Lan quickly stopped thinking, and raised his head to look at Mu Lan, “What is it?”

Mu Lan replied: “Just now, this servant heard from the woman who brought the ingredients from the large kitchen that First Miss had returned to the manor.”

“Oh? Big Sister went home? When did this happen? ” After calculating the time, Ye Jinwei should have returned a long time ago. She did not know why she was delayed so long, if not, he should be able to make it to Concubine Shao for the last time.

“He arrived early this morning.” Mu Lan bit her lips, hesitated for a while, and then said what she had heard to Jin Lan, “I heard that First Miss went to the Shuixie Pavilion right after returning, and caused a ruckus in Madam’s room.”

“What?” Jin Lan was shocked. He stood up abruptly and asked anxiously, “Did you hurt mother?”

“This servant doesn’t know.” Mu Lan shook her head, “I heard that Master is also in her wife’s room, and became angry on the spot, and got someone to kick First Miss out. She also said that from today onwards, First Miss and Yu Ge’er will be grounded, and can come out again after learning the rules, so as to not ruin Ye Family’s reputation.”

That’s right, last night when Ye Lin was resting in his mother’s room, Jin Lan heaved a sigh of relief. In front of Ye Lin, Ye Jinwei should not dare to hurt his mother, otherwise, it would not end up like this.

However, why would Ye Jinwei come to his mother’s house to cause trouble the moment she returned? According to her usual personality, she would first go to the old lady’s room when she returned home, then it would be the others. As for her mother, she wouldn’t even think about it, but now …

Jin Lan thought carefully for a while before the light in his eyes flashed. He immediately understood a bit of what was going on.

Mu Lan saw that she was silent for a long while, and couldn’t help but feel apprehensive in his heart, “Miss, what’s wrong?”

“I’m fine.” Jin Lan smiled faintly. “Let’s set up the meal!” Since Big Sis is back, I should pay you a visit. ”

Is this lady going to visit the First Miss? Mu Lan and Mama Tang looked at each other in astonishment and quickly replied, “Yes.”

The Mama Tang thought that she was anxious to find out more about the situation, she didn’t expect the golden light to order Mu Lan to go to the west wing to call the Mama Shang over.

Mama Shang followed Mu Lan into the room and respectfully bowed towards Jin Lan, “Miss.”

“Mama, no need to be so polite.” Jin Lan smiled and pointed at the chair at the side. “Sit first!”

Although Mama Shang had not been by Jin Lan’s side for a long time, her eyes were extremely sharp, and could somewhat see through this Second Miss’s temperament, so she did not push him away, and sat down with her back leaning on the chair.

Jin Lan got Mu Lan to serve the tea to Mama Shang, and he himself also reached out to pick up the cup of tea with the white porcelain enamel of the Four Seasons Flower, opening the lid, he gently stirred the tea leaves floating in the air. He took a small sip to moisturize his throat, and then said with a clear voice: “Mama has worked hard these few days, I wonder how they are doing?”

Ever since they had returned to the residence, she made use of the excuse that they were going to give the old lady a birthday present and gave Bi He a job of embroidering a Ten Thousand Blessings Screen. There were ten thousand words of blessings of different sizes on the screen, enough for Bi He to embroider for the better part of half a year.

Afraid that Bi He would be suspicious, she let Wan Ju accompany her in embroidering, and even allowed the Mama Shang to give pointers on the side.

If not, how could he trip Bi He in the house so that Mama Tang could smoothly deliver food to her mother?

Now that the poison in his mother’s body had been dispelled and the Concubine Shao had died, everything could be considered as settled.

Mama Shang muttered to herself: “From what this servant sees, I probably can’t make it in time for the old lady’s birthday.”

“In any case, it’s just a backup. If we really can’t make it in time, then so be it.” He gently put down the teacup in his hand and gave Mama Tang a look.

Mama Tang turned and entered the room, and after a while, she came out with a few things in her hands.

Jin Lan did not look much and asked the Mama Tang to pass the things over to the Mama Shang, “Mama, here, the location of Ling Shan and Little Rock is first recorded, and the other is Ling Shan’s indenture. As for the one at the bottom, it’s Ruifeng Bank’s silver notes, which is not a lot, I can just treat it as me thanking the Mama for protecting me with my life.”

Back then, Madame SHen did not make things difficult for Ling Shan, as she was forced to do so. After beating the board, Madame SHen had Xiao Shi and she secretly settle down in her own wedding manor, and Jin Lan went back to her house to ask Madame SHen about Ling Shan’s indenture contract, for the sake of today.

Mama Shang’s hands trembled as she looked carefully at the words on it. It was exactly as Jin Lan said, exactly.

Suddenly, she abruptly stood up and knelt in front of Jin Lan with a bang!

“What is Mama doing? Hurry and get up! ” Jin Lan was startled, and anxiously said: “Mu Lan, quickly help Mama Shang up!”

Mu Lan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, but her hands were pushed away by the Mama Shang.

Mama Shang looked at Jin Lan with tears in his eyes. His eyes were brimming with gratitude as he choked with sobs: “Second Miss, I will never forget your great kindness!” As he spoke, he kowtowed to Jin Lan.

Seeing Mama Shang’s actions and appearance, Jin Lan let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with pain. She pressed down the corner of her eyes with the handkerchief, then personally went to help Mama Shang, her tone becoming gentler, “Mama need not say anymore, if not for Mama’s help along the way, I am afraid Jin Lan would still be in the capital. After she finished speaking, she gave a light bow.

Mama Tang and Mu Lan also quickly bowed.

“Miss, I can’t accept this!” Mama Shang hurriedly helped Jin Lan up.

Jin Lan pursed his lips into a smile, “I won’t stand on ceremony with Mama. Since it’s still early, Mama should hurry out of the mansion! Ling Shan and Xiao Shi were at their mother’s wedding manor. It was a long journey, and at night, it would not be easy to travel on the outskirts of the city.

“This servant can save it.” Mama Shang nodded her head gratefully, but after pausing for a moment, she took out the silver note, “Miss, I cannot accept this silver note as my servant.”

“This is something that I have bestowed upon you and naturally, I will not take it back. If Mama does not want it, then tear it up!” Then, she extended her hand out and pushed the banknotes back into Mama Shang’s embrace, “If we’re in a mansion, it’ll cost money everywhere, and Mama still has to take care of Ling Shan and Little Rock, so I’m afraid that she won’t be able to move away for now. I’m afraid that Mama will have to keep this banknotes, in the future, when Mama becomes rich, I will have to return it.”

Mama Shang struggled a few times in her heart, but in the end, she still compromised. After all, Second Miss was right. Although she had saved up a lot of body parts in the past few years, if she wanted to let Ling Shan and Little Rock live a good life, it would probably be far from enough!

Seeing that Mama Shang had kept the banknotes properly, Jin Lan smiled again. After saying a few words, she got Mu Lan to send him out.

Watching Mama Shang’s figure gradually disappear into the distance, a trace of worry surfaced in her eyes, “Lady, let her go just like that, what if …” What if the news of what happened in the capital were to leak out?

“Mama, there’s no doubt about it. I believe in her.” Jin Lan withdrew her gaze, the corners of her mouth curving up slightly. “Let’s go. It’s time for us to visit big sister.”
