Although Mama Tang had been guarding beside Jin Lan's bed the whole time, she guessed that her daughter was really concerned about her. She believed that when she woke up, she would ask for news of her wife, causing Bi He to constantly pay attention to her master's movements. "The lady woke up not long after the girl had fallen asleep," she said.

Jin Lan frowned. "Mother, why didn't you wake me up when you woke up?"

Seeing that Jin Lan was unhappy, the Mama Tang hurriedly said: "Madam saw that the young lady is sleeping soundly, and specifically told me not to disturb the young lady, and also had me move the young lady to the East Wing.

Hearing that, Jin Lan loosened his brows, but he did not personally confirm the situation in the Madame SHen, as he was still a little worried, so he lifted his blanket and jumped off the bed, "I'll go take a look at mother."

"Ouch!" "My good girl, the ground is cold, how can you be barefoot …" Mama Tang hurried forward and hugged Jin Lan, persuading him, "Besides, Madam has already eaten a bowl of Jade Gangli porridge, drank some medicine, and is still sleeping.

Jin Lan was startled, she was worried but confused. After hearing Mama Tang's persuasion, she reacted and was no longer in a hurry to go to the Madame SHen's house.

Mama Tang carried her back to bed and covered her with a thin blanket. "Miss should sleep well.

Jin Lan nodded his head obediently and fell asleep soon after. His sleep was sweet and devoid of any dreams of the morning sun.

When he woke up again, it was already a little less than a minute. Mama Tang and Bi He had helped him wash and set up a table for the morning meal, but Jin Lan had no appetite.

The Mama Tang knew that she was worried about the Madame SHen, so she took the initiative to say: "Qiu Wen just came over to pass the message that the young lady is already awake, please eat more and pay respects to the young lady, otherwise the young lady will worry if she sees that the young lady's complexion is bad."

Jin Lan barely managed to eat half a bowl of the Jade Ginseng Congee before pushing the bowl away. "I'm going to my mother's place."

The Mama Tang didn't say anymore and left Bi He to pack her stuff as she accompanied Jin Lan to the main house.

Mo Chu, who was guarding the door, saw Jin Lan and Mama Tang from afar and hurriedly bowed, "It's such a coincidence that young lady has come. Madam has just finished her lunch and is resting right now, young lady, please enter quickly." As he spoke, he pulled up the curtain and invited Jin Lan and the Mama Tang in.

The moment Jin Lan entered, she saw Hui Xiu welcoming her. She could not help but take a few more glances, her eyes had turned green, and her usually bright eyes were filled with red light. It seemed that she had not slept for the entire night. Jin Lan's heart was moved. Last night's discontent with her had unknowingly lessened.

Hui Xiu saw Jin Lan staring at him anxiously, so she bent her knees and laughed: "Madam has seen much more, and is waiting for the young lady inside the house."

Only then did Jin Lan retract his gaze and nod at her.

Madame SHen was leaning on her bed, holding a book in her hands as she slowly flipped through the pages. On the side of the acid wood cabinet, there was a small smokebox carved with gold. Seeing Jin Lan enter, she put down the book, "Lan Er is here. Have you eaten lunch yet?"

Jin Lan took a few steps forward to the side of Madame SHen's bed, looked at the smoke stove, and smiled. "I used it just now."

Hui Xiu quickly brought out a carved chair for her to sit on, but Madame SHen shook her head and lightly patted the bed. Jin Lan smiled as he understood and quietly climbed up to sit beside Madame SHen. Seeing that, Hui Xiu had no choice but to return the chair back to its original position.

"Mother, why don't you rest a bit longer?" When Jin Lan saw that although Madame SHen's face was still pale, her mental energy was still strong. She calmed down and pointed to the smoke stove. "Mother's body isn't well, why is there still incense?"

"That place is filled with sandalwood, calm and collected. It would be good to use some of it." Madame SHen held Jin Lan's small hand, and carefully examined her daughter's small face. Although she was smiling, she couldn't conceal the exhaustion on her face, and her heart ached: "I heard about what happened last night from Hui Xiu, and it troubled my Lan Er."

Jin Lan glanced at Hui Xiu, then tenderly said: "Mother, where are you saying this? Isn't it natural for a daughter to be filial to her mother? It's not hard at all. "

Madame SHen's eyes flashed a look of water, she let out a long sigh, "I originally thought that I could peacefully raise them in the courtyard, but who would have thought that there would be someone who did not give up, it was actually my tired Lan Er who saw all these dirty things."

"Mother." Jin Lan was startled, she thought that Madame SHen did not know about this, and was hesitating to speak, but unexpectedly Madame SHen knew everything. However, Madame SHen was still sick, in order to prevent her from having to trouble herself, Jin Lan advised: "It might be an accident. Mother does not need to think too much, taking care of my body is more important."

Madame SHen shook her head and self-deprecatingly said, "I know very well whether it was an accident or not. Not only me, even your father knows it. "

She and Ye Lin were a young couple, and the two of them had the same feelings. Adding that they were well-matched, when she first married into the Ye Family, she had indeed lived a blissful time that everyone was envious of. She didn't know why, but even though the two of them were inseparable, her stomach didn't move for a long time. Three years later, the old lady's dissatisfaction with the Ye Family increased day by day. Both publicly and secretly, she mentioned it quite a few times, allowing Ye Lin to receive a concubine so that she could open a branch for her Ye Family and scatter its leaves. However, she was unwilling and pretended that she didn't understand, which was why she completely angered the old lady.

The old lady had personally carried the concubine for Ye Lin. The elder bestowed her a gift, she could not refuse it. The relationship between husband and wife died down amidst the ruckus. Even if she was able to give birth to a golden tide later, it would not be able to save her from it. Until now, it was normal for Ye Lin to not step foot into the Shuixie Pavilion for two or three months.

Seeing Madame SHen's face reveal a trace of dejection, Jin Lan's heart tensed up, so she snuggled into Madame SHen's embrace, and said with her red eyes and flat mouth: "Mother, you scared Lan Er to death last night."

Madame SHen felt a warmth in her arms, the soft and tender voice of her daughter echoed in her ears, dispelling the gloomy feeling in her heart.

Yes, she had her daughter by her side now, what else could she not let go?

Jin Lan had been secretly paying attention to the changes in the Madame SHen. Seeing her expression change from cold to hot, finally turning into a field of tranquility, he knew that his heart was at ease. Only then did he quietly reveal a smile. However, he did not dare mention what happened last night. He decided to wait until Madame SHen was completely healed.

The mother and daughter pair lay on the bed and whispered to each other. Along the way, Hui Xiu went out and returned with a bowl of steaming hot medicine.

"Madam, it's time to drink your medicine."

Jin Lan quickly got up from the bed and stretched out his hand. "I'll feed the medicine to mother."

Hui Xiu smiled as she brought the medicine in front of Jin Lan, then instructed Jin Lan to carefully burn his hands. Mama Tang also stuck close to the bed, deeply afraid that Jin Lan would accidentally overturn the medicine bowl and burn his hands.

Jin Lan carefully held up the bowl, scooped up another spoonful of the brown Medicinal Juice, and blew on it with his lips. He waited for it to cool down before moving to Madame SHen's mouth.

Madame SHen watched her daughter's clumsy actions with a smile, but she felt warmth in her heart. Just as she was about to drink the medicine in her spoon, Jin Lan shrank back. Madame SHen could not help but be taken aback, "What happened?"

Jin Lan did not answer, but raised his head and looked at Hui Xiu, "Which doctor prescribed this medicine?"

Hui Xiu's expression changed slightly, and stammered for a long while before replying, "It was opened by the Doctor Gong."

"Didn't I say last night that I used Doctor Jiang's prescription?" As he spoke, he handed the medicine bowl over to Mama Tang, "Could it be that you have ignored my words?"

Hui Xiu lowered her body, "This servant doesn't dare, only … "But …"

Jin Lan looked at him coldly. This matter was related to Madame SHen's consolation, she had no choice but to be cautious. Just as she wanted to ask more, she was stopped by Madame SHen.

"I was the one who asked Hui Xiu to change the recipe for Doctor Gong."

Jin Lan was shocked. "Mother!"

Madame SHen patted her hand, signalling for her to calm down, she turned and said to Hui Xiu: "Get up."

"Yes, ma'am." Hui Xiu heaved a sigh of relief and quickly retreated to the side.

"Mother, it looks like Doctor Jiang's prescription worked well last night. Why did you change to Doctor Gong's recipe now? "If that's the case, I wonder if the two prescriptions will clash with each other. What will happen if they break down after eating?" Jin Lan didn't know how to explain his suspicions towards the Doctor Gong. He could only use Doctor Jiang and the medicine as a cover.

A trace of a gentle and loving smile surfaced on Madame SHen's lips when she heard Jin Lan's words. After she finished speaking, she slowly said, "Lan Er, I know what you're worried about. However, if you say that there is a doctor that I trust in this world, that would be the Doctor Gong. "

Ah? Jin Lan's face was filled with astonishment, "Why …"

"If she hadn't helped me recuperate, I'm afraid she wouldn't have lasted this long." A hint of sadness surfaced in Madame SHen's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash, "Speaking of which, when we were about to be born, she was the one who helped you."

That is to say that mother and that Doctor Gong are old acquaintances? But the medicine from that day … Could it be that he was overthinking things? Jin Lan's heart was a mess, unable to make sense of the situation. Just as she was about to ask a few more questions, the sound of footsteps came from outside the house.
