Grimoire time, Yunxiu House.

Ye Jinwei had just taken off the pearl hairpin on her head, allowing Qian Yun to wash up. The other servant, Si Ling, walked in, "Miss, Concubine Shao is here."

She slightly raised her eyes, and slowly took the incense cloth from Qian Yun's hands and gently wiped her face. Without replying, she casually threw the wet and wrinkled silk cloth into Qian Yun's hands, then turned around and walked to the bed.

Although it was so, Si Ling did not dare to be negligent, and immediately pulled up the curtain to welcome Concubine Shao into the house.

Ye Jinwei sat on the bed, her slender fingers played with the black hair that hung on her chest, and she acted as if she didn't care about Concubine Shao at all.

The Concubine Shao did not care about her indifference. She walked over to the carved chair in front of the bed and sat down, then picked up the hot tea offered by Si Ling and took a sip before glancing at Si Ling and Qian Yun.

The two maidservants understood what was going on, so they kneeled down and left, closing the door behind them.

Only then did Concubine Shao open her mouth and said, "I know you are unhappy."

Ye Jinwei kept everything that had happened in the Madame SHen's room in mind and said snappily: "Since you know, why did you still come here?"

"For what?" Concubine Shao sneered, "Isn't it all because of you? If not for you pushing Jin Lan into the lotus pond, none of today's matters would have happened! "

"I …" Ye Jinwei choked, she knew that he was in the wrong, yet was unwilling to lower her head, and said with a straight face: "So what? Since I've already been rejected, why don't you go back and punish me! "

Concubine Shao slammed the teacup in her hand down on the table, "Who am I working so hard for? You're still trying to be petty with me, aren't you going to take my life by punishing me? "

Ye Jinwei did not reply, but her expression unconsciously relaxed.

"Viv." Concubine Shao got up and sat on the bed, she then pulled Ye Jinwei into her embrace and said, "I know what you're thinking, it's just that Jin Lan can't move against her, we have to rely on her for so many things …"

Ye Jinwei's previously relaxed expression suddenly became cold, and she fiercely pushed Concubine Shao away, "Aunt, are you feeling bad?"

A trace of annoyance flashed across Concubine Shao's face. She stood up and saw Ye Jinlan's face under the candlelight. She slowly sat back down and sighed, "It's because of you that I feel sorry for you. The other one didn't say anything, but since you are the flesh that falls from my body, how can I not think for you? As for Jin Lan, that girl … " She paused, "Although I have the Yu Ge'er, in front of the old lady, she holds the status of a direct descendant, so her words have weight."

"In the end, it's still because of her." Ye Jinwei twisted her body and ignored Concubine Shao.

"Aiyo, my little ancestor!" Concubine Shao hugged her again, rubbed her hands together, and laughed for a long time before stopping.

Ye Jinwei ruffled the hair by her ear and spoke: "Since the situation is like this, what should we do?"

"Do you know the urgency now?" The Concubine Shao unhappily rolled her eyes at her, she looked towards the door and windows a few times, then cautiously said: "We will do as the old master says for the next few days, An Xin will stay in the house, wait for the old master's anger to dissipate, then we can go find Second Miss." As she spoke, her voice gradually became smaller, "As usual …" Lecturing … Waiting for the old lady and Yu Ge'er … "

"Is what Aunt said true?" Ye Jinwei raised her delicate eyebrows, her face was full of astonishment.

Concubine Shao hurriedly used her hand to cover her mouth, "Be quiet, there's ears on the walls."

"What are you afraid of?" Ye Jinwei turned her head, her gaze filled with disdain, as if she was about to pass through the door and the window and gaze upon the neighboring room, "Looking at the sky and acting like a monkey, you can't stop worrying.

Alright, let's just endure for now. The Concubine Shao patted Ye Jinwei's hand, and said with a sinister gaze.

Ever since that day, Jin Lan always got up early every day, went to Shuixie Pavilion to eat breakfast with Madame SHen after washing up. It was strange, however, that he never got the chance to eat Madame SHen's medicine again. She wanted to ask, but didn't know how she could explain the reason to Madame SHen. She could only suppress her emotions and wait for Wan Ju to find out.

The servants in the Shuixie Pavilion had already gotten used to Jin Lan's sudden action and had even secretly grasped the time. Just that, when she had just stepped onto the bluestone staircase, Qiu Wen who was originally sitting down on the corridor and training had caught sight of her. She quickly got up and lifted the curtain, smiling as she passed on: "Second Miss is here."

Jin Lan smiled and nodded at Qiu Wen, but just as sshe was about to enter, he turned her head and quickly glanced at Wan Ju who was behind him.

The Madame SHen in the room was sitting with her head down, copying something on the rosewood square table. When she heard the sound, she put down her brush, and when she raised her head, she saw her daughter's petite body cross the threshold, and was filled with joy. She immediately waved at her, and gently said: "Lan Er, quickly come over."

"Mother." Jin Lan bowed towards the Madame SHen and walked inside with a smile.

Madame SHen hugged Jin Lan who was sitting on a chair made of purple sandalwood with inlaid marble. When his fingertips touched the faint moisture on the satin, he immediately frowned and said with a pained heart: "It's still early in the morning, why don't you wear some clothes. The dew outside is heavy, your body is better now.

Jin Lan's body went limp as he leaned into Madame SHen's embrace with a sweet smile on his face. He enjoyed this pampering extremely and replied softly: "Don't worry, it will only take a while for the sun to rise. Besides, my daughter is already this old, how can I not understand? Mother, you are worrying for nothing. "

Madame SHen looked at his daughter's expression carefully, it was no different from usual. Only then did she relax, and stroke her smooth and black hair, and said with a smile: "Lan Er has grown up and become sensible, but in mother's eyes, you are still a child who doesn't know anything." As she spoke, he glanced at the door, and her smile faded. "You're the only one here today?"

Afraid that the Madame SHen would misunderstand, Jin Lan hurriedly said: "When I came over, I brought Wan Ju with me. She was just outside the door."

"Why didn't you bring him in?" Madame SHen had a good impression of this hardworking Little Maid, so she casually asked.

"A few days ago, I asked her to embroider a square handkerchief. In the end, she was unable to embroider it for more than half a month. Yesterday, I heard from the Mama Tang that Big Sister Qiu Wen in my mother's room is good at double-sided embroidery. Even though she had made preparations beforehand, Jin Lan still felt a bit uncomfortable, and the smile on his face immediately lessened.

When Madame SHen saw this, she thought that Jin Lan was angry because the servant girl's skills were lacking. She couldn't help but sit up straight and lightly patted Jin Lan's back, and said: "If you like double-sided embroidery, then you can just get Qiu Wen to help you. I think Wan Ju is not bad, it's good to have her come over to serve us. "

"How can that be?" Jin Lan blurted out. He then noticed that there was something wrong with his words, and explained: "Big Sister Qiu Wen is capable in my mother's room, but Wan Ju is clumsy. With this exchange, wouldn't it take advantage of Mother?"

Madame SHen saw that she was still deep in thought, and immediately laughed out loud, "What's there to be worried about? If you want it, Mother can give you everything that she has. "

Man Ping, who was serving at the side, pursed her lips into a smile and spoke in agreement: "Madam truly loves this lady. Let alone Qiu Wen, as long as this lady asks, this lady will definitely be willing to serve you."

Jin Lan was afraid that the Madame SHen would really exchange with Wan Ju, so he quickly changed the topic, pointed at the paper spread out on the table, and asked: "What is this?"

The Madame SHen looked at the paper in her hand, which had not been dried yet, and before she could say anything, Man Ping replied her with a voice: "This is my wife's copy of the book. A few days ago, the young lady was sick, my wife was reciting Buddha's prayer and made a wish in front of the Buddha. Now that the girl was well, she should have come to the temple to make up her mind, but the lady was not well either, so she was delayed. "Then I'll copy the scripture and wait for my body to get better before making any plans."

"Mother …" He never thought that Madame SHen would still work hard for him even when she was ill. A warm feeling flowed through Jin Lan's heart and his arms tightened around Madame SHen.

In his previous life, although Shao treated her well, she was not as intimate as she was now. Furthermore, she would not put her in front of everyone else. How could a mother and daughter match up to a mother and daughter? What's more, Shao Shi only used her as a means of making use of her and pretended to be intimate with her.

Thus, it was only now that she understood what a mother and daughter was.

After accompanying Madame SHen in eating breakfast, they talked for half a day like usual. Only when it was late morning did Jin Lan stand up and prepare to return to the Lan Garden.

Man Ping immediately went to draw the curtain, and the moment it was lifted, Jin Lan saw Wan Ju standing outside the door with a blue handkerchief in her hand. It was precisely the side with the embroidery on both sides that caused the smile on her face to become even more brilliant.

After making a few turns and waiting for the Shuixie Pavilion's door to completely disappear behind him, Jin Lan finally slowed down. Just as she was about to speak, she saw a figure curling towards her from the corner of her eyes.
