Legitimate Daughter of the Noble Family - C168

“Mother.” “Lan Er thinks that Mama Zhu is willing to stay in the Palace.”

Madame SHen was startled, then smiled, “Silly girl, even if Mama is willing, I do not want her to continue working here.”

“But …” Jin Lan was very worried. Without the Mama Zhu, Hui Xiu alone wouldn’t be able to do anything, and the others wouldn’t dare to use it. After all, they had yet to uncover the other black hand that had poisoned them.

“Alright.” Madame SHen patted Jin Lan’s small hands and raised the topic: “Jin Wei has returned to the Manor, do you know?”

“Daughter already knew.” Jin Lan nodded, and then he told Madame SHen everything that had happened in the Yunxiu House as well as his own speculations.

After the Madame SHen heard this, her expression gradually became heavy. “So you’re saying that Jin Wei came to my house to cause trouble the moment we got back, because she was instigated by someone else?”

“I’m afraid not only big sister, even the actions of Yu Ge’er yesterday were also the same, eight to nine times out of ten.”

Madame SHen looked fixedly at Jin Lan, and the expression in his eyes suddenly changed, “Do you have someone you’re suspicious of?”

Jin Lan raised his head and met Madame SHen’s dark eyes.

The mother and daughter looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly said a name at the same time, “Concubine Ning.”

Jin Lan was slightly surprised. She had been pondering along the way, wondering how she could remind her mother to be more vigilant towards Concubine Ning. She didn’t want her mother to be suspicious.

Seeing her daughter’s surprised expression, Madame SHen pursed her lips and laughed, “On the surface, Shaoyin’s death was most beneficial to me, but in reality, it was only a mutual loss.” As she spoke, she pulled Jin Lan into her embrace and sighed. “Lan Er, you’re still young. Some things are really too deliberate, to the point where the old lady is wary of you right now.”

Jin Lan laid in Madame SHen’s embrace and blinked his eyes. It was full of temptation, his mother was referring to…

“Why don’t you think about it? Those papers and the anger of the people definitely can’t be suppressed in just two or three days. The Lu family must have some tricks up their sleeves. How come they came out so easily in your hands?”

“Mother, actually, Lan Er had already secretly sent people to investigate this matter a long time ago.” If it were not for the Manager Shi secretly helping him, it would have been difficult to find out. However, he could not tell his mother about this.

“But the old lady doesn’t think so.” “Now that Shaoyin is dead, and that you have attracted the old lady’s fear, Jin Wei and Yu Ge’er are forbidden from leaving. Instead, the most unremarkable Concubine Ning is still as calm as ever, one room.

Praise the Concubine Ning? Jin Lan frowned. She didn’t expect the old lady to have such a thought, after all, Concubine Ning didn’t seem to have such a person in her residence normally. However, after knowing the true appearance of the Concubine Ning, she only felt that this person was cunning beyond words.

No wonder Yan Rong would show goodwill to her today. The old lady already had this thought!

If he really valued the Concubine Ning, there was a high chance that she would be a character similar to a Concubine Shao.

No, it’s even harder to deal with than the Concubine Shao!

Jin Lan was slightly distracted, he had finally managed to stabilize the situation with much difficulty and was now in a state of turmoil again. At the bottom of his heart, he unconsciously complained about Old Madame Ye, he really did not know why the old lady was so against her mother.

When Madame SHen saw Jin Lan’s small face change between green and white, she knew that she had overthought things. She immediately changed the topic, “Lan Er, I forgot to tell you something joyous.”

Jin Lan came back to reality, and when his eyes made contact with the Madame SHen’s sudden joy, he couldn’t help but be taken aback, “What good news?”

Madame SHen took a deep breath and calmed the agitation in her chest. “Your grandfather has been reused by the Emperor!” She then told her daughter what Ye Lin had said yesterday.

Jin Lan showed a happy expression at the right time, but it couldn’t hide the shock and surprise in her eyes.

Although she did not know why her maternal grandfather’s family had declined in her previous life, until her miserable death, when her maternal grandfather’s family was completely silent, other than her third uncle’s business, her eldest and second uncles, although they were full of poetry and books, were all idle at home. She had also seen her grandfather twice before, always looking depressed and depressed.

Now, everything had changed!

Did this mean that her fate in her previous life had been completely changed?

Jin Lan’s slender white fingertips trembled slightly. He couldn’t describe what it felt like in his heart, like a person on the verge of drowning, only to suddenly realize that the pool of green water had yet to reach his chest.

Madame SHen’s smile froze, she saw her daughter crying, “Lan Er, what’s wrong?”

“No, Lan Er is crying tears of joy.” Jin Lan was alarmed. He hurriedly wiped the water off his face with his handkerchief and said with a bright smile, “This is indeed a joyous occasion!”

Yes, since there was already such a big discrepancy in this life, it was enough to prove that Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu was wrong.

Fate is not irrevocable, man wins the sky!

With this thought, Jin Lan was completely relieved. He calmed his heart and chatted and laughed with the Madame SHen until the Doctor Gong came back with the fried medicine.

Mama Zhu and Doctor Gong entered the house together, but when she went out, she busily placed the meals in the food box on the table, and then called Hui Xiu to go out and help, and other than the mother and daughter pair, there was only another Doctor Gong.

“Mother, please drink the medicine first!” Jin Lan personally brought the medicine to the bedside. The residual poison in Madame SHen’s body had yet to be cleansed, so she couldn’t be at ease no matter what.

“Alright.” Madame SHen listened to Jin Lan’s words, took the warm bowl and lightly blew on it twice. He closed his eyes, held his breath and gulped down a few mouthfuls of the medicine.

Because the Snow Twig s were missing from the antidote that came later, not only was the smell strong, the taste was also extremely bitter. Every sip of the antidote made Madame SHen feel like vomiting, but she did not reveal it at all to prevent Jin Lan from being worried.

Forcefully swallowing the last mouthful of the soup, Madame SHen used a handkerchief to cover her mouth, and gave the bowl to Doctor Gong. She then took the rinsed water that Jin Lan had prepared, and when the bitterness in her mouth subsided, she let out a long sigh.

Looking at Madame SHen’s miserable state, Jin Lan couldn’t help but ask with a pained heart, “Doctor Gong, Mother doesn’t need to drink these medicine anymore, right?”

The Doctor Gong smiled, “This can only be determined after one has passed through the meridians.”

Upon hearing these words, Jin Lan immediately stood to the side, making room for the Doctor Gong to check his pulse.

Doctor Gong sat on the small Wooden Pellet beside the bed. He extended his slightly cold hand and placed his fingertips on Madame SHen’s fair wrist.

Jin Lan’s face was nervous, his eyes wide open as he stared at Doctor Gong’s face, trying to find out what was going on from the changes in his expression.

In just a short moment, she seemed to have endured several autumn winters.

Seeing Doctor Gong slowly retract his hand, Jin Lan couldn’t wait and asked: “Doctor Gong, Mother, she …”

Doctor Gong was silent for a moment, then raised his head with a rare smile on his face, “The poison in Madam’s body has been cleansed!”

“Really?” Jin Lan’s voice was somewhat dry. His ten fingers were tightly clasped together, but his eyes held an expanding amount of joy.

Ever since she woke up, all she had done was protect her mother and detoxify her.

Now that she had heard Doctor Gong’s confirmation, it was as if she had lost her soul. She stood there blankly, her tender lips slightly parted, but no sound came out.

“Lan Er.” Madame SHen looked at Jin Lan, water glimmering in her eyes. She extended her hand and gently held Jin Lan’s soft little hand.

Feeling the warmth from his palm, the tears in Jin Lan’s eyes finally burst out. “Mother!”

She threw herself into Madame SHen’s embrace and couldn’t help but cry loudly. That hysterical cry could break a person’s heart, as if it could turn all the pain she had suffered in her previous life into tears.

Madame SHen hugged her daughter’s trembling body tightly. When she closed her eyes, tears had already started streaming down her face.

Her life with Lan Er was too bitter, and too tired.

For the sake of this useless mother, Lan Er, who was only ten years old, fought with the old lady, fought with the young lady, and even traveled all the way to the capital alone. She entered the ancestral house, which was extremely dangerous compared to Ye Mansion, and fought with the old ancestor, who was full of schemes!

All of this was for her!

In the midst of her misty eyes, an undetectable coldness stealthily emerged from the depths of Madame SHen’s eyes.

From today onwards, she would definitely not let Lan Er suffer even the slightest bit!

No one could even dream of harming her daughter.

Don’t even think about it!

Doctor Gong watched quietly from the side and could not help but sigh. He turned his head and wiped his eyes.

When the Mama Zhu and Hui Xiu who were busy outside heard the crying, they rushed to the room at the same time in shock, but just as they lifted the pearl curtain and saw the mother and daughter crying on the bed, their hearts ached, and they retreated softly.

After a long while, Jin Lan’s hysterical cries gradually weakened, turning into quiet sobs.

Madame SHen patted Jin Lan’s back lightly with one hand until her slender body calmed down and then let go of her hand for her to sit up. “Alright, don’t cry like this ever again.

Her tears turned into smiles as she lowered her head in embarrassment. She quickly wiped her face with the handkerchief, but she felt an unprecedented lightness. It was as if something that was tightly bound within her heart had been turned into nothingness along with her tears.

Hui Xiu brought in a hot water basin at the right time, “Miss, come and wash your face! It’s almost time for dinner. ”

“Alright.” Jin Lan smiled sweetly. He got up and went to his ear room to wash up. When he came out, his eyes were still red and swollen, but his face had a freshness that he had never seen before.

She dragged Madame SHen to a room and forcefully pulled him, Doctor Gong and Hui Xiu to sit.

Madame SHen only watched on with a smile, not stopping them.

Mama Zhu and the rest were helpless, they could only sit down.

Jin Lan was enjoying this lunch especially, even Madame SHen had to eat half a bowl more.

After the meal, Jin Lan accompanied Madame SHen for a while longer, and only when a trace of weariness appeared on Madame SHen’s face, did he get up and prepare to return to the Lan Garden. But just as he walked two steps, after thinking for a bit, he still couldn’t help but turn his head and say: “Mother, it’s better to pay more attention to Concubine Ning.”

Madame SHen looked at Jin Lan’s worried little face, and said with a stern face: “You don’t have to worry about all these. You forgot about it before you even left the house.” After pausing for a moment, he continued, “Now that I’ve seen her true face, I won’t let her be so carefree again!” As he finished, his words were as cold as ice.

When Doctor Gong, who was packing the medicine boxes heard the words Concubine Ning, he suddenly remembered something.

Only after hesitating for a moment, she put down the things in her hands and softly walked to the front of the bed, solemnly looking at Jin Lan and the Madame SHen, “Speaking of Concubine Ning, there is something that I nearly forgot about.”
