Legitimate Daughter of the Noble Family - C167

“Why?” Ye Jinwei’s gaze was filled with hatred, as she stared coldly at Jin Lan: “Other than you, who else would harm me like that!”

A hint of mockery appeared on Jin Lan’s face. How foolish was she in her previous life to be deceived by such a person, and walk into a dead end. “Then quickly tell me elder sister, how did I harm you?” Was it I who delayed my sister’s return trip? Or did you urge your elder sister to go to your mother’s room and make a ruckus, making your father unhappy? ”

“You …” Ye Jinwei was momentarily at a loss for words, her face full of gloominess. She pinched her neck for a long time before finally gritting her teeth and forcing out a sentence: “You caused the death of my aunt!”

“Be careful, sister!” A cold light flashed through Jin Lan’s calm eyes. “Concubine Shao is in a difficult situation where they give birth to babies, and this was what the old lady personally said. I wonder which ignorant fool is spreading rumors and making trouble in front of elder sister’s ears!”

Ye Jinwei was startled, but immediately understood the meaning behind her words, the anger in her heart retreated a little, her brows knitted tightly, and suspiciously stared at Jin Lan: “What do you mean by that?”

Jin Lan looked at her expressionlessly. “Elder sister, why don’t you think carefully? Even elder sister just returned to the mansion today, so how could the servants know beforehand what happened inside? Could it be that Steward Li personally said those words to elder sister? ”

Ye Jinxian immediately fell into deep thought. When she was sailing back to Hong Ze, she overheard the whispers of the two rough maids and knew that her aunt had gone away. At that time, she was shocked and angry, so she grabbed onto the two maids and asked.

Once she returned, she ran over to Madame SHen’s room to interrogate him. She did not expect that her father would be resting at the Shuixie Pavilion, so she was kicked out and locked in the house.

From start to finish, she had never doubted the words of the two maidservants. Now that she thought about it, she had probably been tricked!

Ye Jinxian’s face instantly darkened, but she still clenched her teeth and looked Jin Lan in the eye, “Why should I believe you? You might have secretly sent someone to do it! ”

When Mama Tang heard this, his mouth almost crooked from anger. She took a step forward to seek justice for her young lady, but was stopped by a pair of soft and gentle hands.

“Elder sister, you don’t need to believe me.” “I believe that elder sister is an intelligent person, if you don’t like the sound of it, I didn’t come here for elder sister’s sake, I just don’t want others to take advantage of me. As long as elder sister has the heart, I can find out the truth about this manor’s matters.”

With that, she no longer bothered to look at Ye Jinwei’s reaction. She got up and walked out of the room, but as she just stepped through the doorstep, she slightly turned her head to look at the person who was deep in thought on the soft couch, “Of course, if Big Sister is able to deduce this matter and is able to do so, little sister would not be suspicious.”

Ye Jinxian’s face instantly flushed red. She suddenly stood up and walked two steps forward, pointed at Jin Lan’s leaving back and cursed sharply: “Ye Jin Lan, don’t think that just because you’re so smart you can treat others as fools. Just you wait!”

Jin Lan didn’t even turn back as she brought Mama Tang with her and left the Yunxiu House. Only on the way, she recalled the undisguised hatred and hatred in Ye Jinwei’s eyes, and more or less, she felt a little helpless and worried.

Although she was happy to see Ye Jinwei in trouble, but she did not want to see the person controlling her to be proud.

Especially that person, he was most likely a Concubine Ning.

However, it was not a good thing for her to wake Ye Jinwei up.

After all, no matter what, Ye Jinwei would treat her like a thorn in her flesh, sooner or later.

Jin Lan sighed inwardly. He had never thought that this was not the case.

Seeing her gloomy face, Mama Tang could not help but say with concern: “Miss, if you’re tired, you should return to your Lan Garden to rest for a while. It’s not too late to pay respects to the old lady again before dinner.”

“No need.” Jin Lan shook his head forcefully, as if throwing away the worries in his heart. His spirits were refreshed once more. “I’ve already asked Aunt Yan to send a message just now. If I don’t go, it’ll be hard to protect the old lady’s heart.”

Not to mention Jin Lan bringing the Mama Tang to the Jiayu Hall, within the Yunxiu House, after Ye Jinwei left, he chased all of Si Ling and Yun Qian out. He stayed in the house alone for a long time, unable to make any sound from the servants outside.

When the servants finally decided to find the old lady, the locked door opened with a creak.

Ye Jinwei’s face was expressionless as she swept the few maids with her gaze, and said coldly: “Si Ling, go find Steward Li, ask him where the two rough maids serving me are from, and ask him to bring them over. If he asks too much, just say that it is my orders.”

After counting, Si Ling looked at Yun Qian, “Come in to grind the ink, I want to copy!”

“Yes.” When Si Ling and Yun Qian saw that she was safe and sound, they heaved a sigh of relief.

After a while, Ye Jinwei quietly sat in front of the table with the yellow poplar wood, holding onto the Jade Rabbit Hair, she copied the《 Women’s Ring》 word by word.

With her aunt dead and Yu Ge’er so young, she could only count on the old lady. From today onwards, no matter what the old lady wanted her to do, she would do it obediently, and only by doing so would she be able to please the old lady.

Ye Jinlan, just you wait!

One day, one day, I will make you kneel in front of me and beg!

Jin Lan naturally did not know of Ye Jinwei’s determination. At this moment, she was right in front of the main door of the Jiayu Hall, and Pin Yue was blocking her path in front of the old lady.

“Grandmother still won’t see me?” Jin Lan sniffed with an aggrieved look on his face.

The smile on Pin Yue’s face stiffened slightly, “Miss, what are you talking about? The old lady heard the message from Aunt Yan and was very happy when she knew that Miss was coming to pay her respects! “It’s just that I took a rest after taking the medicine, that’s why …”

When the old lady knew that she was coming, she even let Pin Yue block the door, showing that she was still holding back her anger.

Since that was the case, she could only temporarily avoid the attack.

Jin Lan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “If that’s the case, then I can’t disturb Grandmother. When Grandmother wakes up, I’ll come pay my respects.”

Hearing Jin Lan’s words, Pin Yue heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately sent her out of the Jiayu Hall with a smile.

Mama Tang turned around and looked at Pin Yue who was still standing in front of the gate and sending them off, and muttered: “Miss, I’m afraid that the old lady will still be angry at you, what should I do?”

Jin Lan smiled lightly, “Mama, don’t worry. After a few days, Grandmother’s anger will disappear. I’ll come again to apologize to Grandmother, and everything will be alright.”

The old lady didn’t mind if she didn’t see her, since there was still Yan Rong there?

Jin Lan had originally planned to return to the Lan Garden, since she had to take care of the matters regarding Wan Ju and Bi He after all. But after thinking about it, she decided to change her direction halfway through the journey and go to the Shuixie Pavilion.

The atmosphere in the Shuixie Pavilion was a bit heavy, the maids and wives had their faces tightly-knit, looking extremely cautious.

Looks like Man Ping’s matter had quite an impact within the Shuixie Pavilion.

Just as Jin Lan stepped onto the stairs, Qiu Wen and Mo Chu, who were doing embroidery, quickly stood up and bowed, “Second Miss.”

Although her mother had already made Qiu Wen and into senior maids, she was still used to having Man Ping and Hui Xiu wait on her. As a result, the two of them stood guard outside the door, just like how they did when they were level 2 maidservants.

Jin Lan nodded with a smile. “Is mother in the room?”

He had to take charge of the main hall in front of him every day, and the stewards inside and out had to report to him about the matters in the residence. Whether it was the shops and farms outside or the food and accommodation inside the residence, he had to make decisions every morning so that the stewards could arrange everything.

Qiu Wen pulled up the curtain and replied, “Yes, Madam is not feeling well today, and is resting in her room!”

Mother is not in good health? Jin Lan’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly entered the house and ran straight into the inner room.

Only Hui Xiu was left alone in the room, she was holding a blue and white ocean bowl and was standing beside the bed. Seeing the golden waves rushing in recklessly, he was stunned, “Second Miss?”

Jin Lan quickly walked to the front of the bed and carefully observed Madame SHen.

“Lan Er.” When Madame SHen saw her daughter running over to him, she immediately glared at her, thinking that something was wrong. She hurriedly grabbed her hands and pulled her to sit on the bed, “What happened? “I’m flustered, come take a look at mom.”

Hearing Madame SHen’s voice, Jin Lan heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, although his mother looked somewhat haggard, she looked alright.

She then raised her head and looked at the bowl in Hui Xiu’s hands. Inside the bowl was half a bowl of brown colored soup, but it was probably not medicine, at least it did not exude the scent of medicine.

“Why aren’t you talking?” Madame SHen asked with concern as she lifted her hand to gently stroke the hair on Jin Lan’s face.

Looking into the worried eyes of the Madame SHen, Jin Lan immediately laughed and explained: “Just now, I heard from Qiu Wen that my mother’s body was unstable, I thought something is wrong.”

The Madame SHen suddenly understood as she smiled and pointed at Jin Lan’s small nose. “I’m fine. I came to the Sky Sunflower this morning. My entire body is sore and soft, but I’ll be fine after a while …”

Sunflower? If that’s the case, Ye Lin wouldn’t stay in his mother’s room for the next few days. Although she felt that it wasn’t right, she felt a sense of joy in his heart.

“No, the lady just finished her brown sugar water, and the girl came.” Hui Xiu smiled and picked up the bowl of key on the table, then quickly brought it down for tea.

When Hui Xiu left, only the mother and daughter remained in the room.

Jin Lan looked around, “Mother, where are the people from Mama Zhu?” Normally, Mama Zhu would stay by his mother’s side, not even taking half a step away.

The Madame SHen rubbed Jin Lan’s temples and laughed: “I should be busy in the kitchen right now!”

Ever since she took care of Man Ping’s affairs, Mama Zhu had taken care of her daily meals, and did not allow anyone else to touch it.

Just that, no matter how nice it was for Mama Zhu, she would not be the person by her side, so she could not stay in the manor for long. Even if the old lady did not say anything now, she would mention it sooner or later.

Thinking about it, Madame SHen’s eyes immediately darkened.
