When Jin Lan came out from the Shuixie Pavilion, she walked through the handwritten corridor. She did her best to suppress the churning of her mind, but her steps became uncontrollably messy.

First, the servants in the outer courtyard, Chun Xiao, suddenly entered the Inner Court, followed by the loss of consciousness of Madame SHen, and then, with the help of the Concubine Shao, the matter of releasing the maids began to become more and more pressing down, piece by piece, intertwined.

Why? Why did the Concubine Shao need to extend her hand into the Shuixie Pavilion so urgently? Three years after the passing of the Madame SHen in his previous life, quite a few things seemed to have happened during this period. Only after working hard for nearly a year did Concubine Shao, who was in a concubine's room, have the chance to sit in the main wife's seat. Otherwise, with Ye Lin's identity, no matter how much he was pampered, he would never take a concubine right.

Right now, everything should still be in its infancy, why would the Concubine Shao make a move on him ahead of time?

Could it be …

Jin Lan stopped in his tracks, and the Mama Tang that was behind her almost bumped into her.

"Miss, what happened to you?" When Mama Tang saw the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, she quickly took out a handkerchief and helped her wipe it off, "Is it that hot? Just a little more and we'll be there. "

"No, I'm fine." Jin Lan saw the worry on Mama Tang's face and couldn't help but laugh, "It's just that it's a bit boring, so Mama doesn't need to worry."

The Mama Tang paused for a moment, "You must be worried for your wife, right?"

Jin Lan didn't deny it. He replied in a low voice, "Yes."

Thinking about it carefully, there was a high chance that the reason the Concubine Shao did such a thing was from her. Perhaps it was because of her change that Concubine Shao felt that things had gradually gotten out of control. For those who held great power, this was something unbearable, and that was why she was so impatient to regain it.

She lived her whole life to the end, and the things she said and did were completely different from before. Even her surroundings were slowly changing, and she was afraid that she could no longer predict what she would do in her previous life.

Jin Lan raised her head, the sky blue as if it had been washed. She let out a long sigh, and her gaze gradually became resolute.

No matter what, she couldn't repeat the same mistake!

Seeing that Jin Lan's face was blank, Mama Tang advised: "Lady, please relax. Madam will have her own plans. She will be fine very soon."

Seeing the concern on Mama Tang's face, Jin Lan's heart suddenly calmed down. She nodded lightly, "En."

When Jin Lan and the Mama Tang returned to the Lan Garden, the courtyard was cold. Other than a few servants who were sweeping the area, there were no other signs of anyone else. When he entered the room, he saw Wen Zhu sitting in the room, sewing.

Seeing Jin Lan and the Mama Tang enter, Wen Zhu quickly put down what he was doing, stood up, and saluted. "Miss has returned."

Mama Tang's face sank, "Why are you the only one in the house? Where's Bi He? There's no one outside, where's Mu Lan? "

Wen Zhu saw the unsightly expression on Mama Tang's face and quickly explained, "Just now, the snow geese in the sewing room was looking for Big Sister Bi He, as if they were trying to help Miss Qiu Yi. Big Sister Bi He was afraid that if no one came to attend to her after she left, she would have me guard the house. While Mu Lan was under the kitchen, he said that he would cook some Tremella Lotus Seed Soup for the young lady to drink during the summer. "

Snow geese from the sewing room? Jin Lan's heart was moved, "When did Bi He leave?"

Wen Zhu neatly poured a cup of tea and said, "About half an hour."

Jin Lan lowered his eyes, lifted up the teacup and took a sip. It was filled with a delicate fragrance.

Bi He was the senior servant by her side, the reason he wanted to look for her in the sewing room was because of the patterns on her autumn clothes, but this time was a bit too long.

Probably being able to see through Jin Lan's thoughts, the Mama Tang said to Wen Zhu, "Send a Little Maid to the sewing room. If Bi He is free, let her come back quickly."

"No need." Jin Lan called out to Wen Zhu, who was about to walk out. "If it's not urgent, then I presume the sewing room won't be here. It's also for me anyway, so let her be." As she spoke, she seemed to recall something and asked, "Is Wan Ju back yet?"

Just as Jin Lan finished speaking, before Wen Zhu could speak, a servant reported: "Miss, Wan Ju's sister-in-law has come. She has matters to discuss with the Miss, so she is currently waiting outside the second door."

Jin Lan was startled. What was Wan Ju's sister-in-law doing here? He looked suspiciously at Wen Zhu. "Call her in."

Wen Zhu took the opportunity to reply: "Sister Wan Ju has not come back yet."

What? Wan Ju still hasn't come back! Jin Lan's heart couldn't help but tighten.

Not long later, they heard a series of footsteps from the courtyard. Wen Zhu lifted the curtain and saw a Little Maid wearing a scallion skirt walking towards the room. Behind him was a young woman in her early twenties.

Little Maid stopped in front of the door and blessed Wen Zhu. Wen Zhu nodded and smiled as he invited Wan Ju's sister-in-law into the room.

Upon entering the room, Wan Ju's sister-in-law bowed respectfully to Jin Lan, "This humble servant greets Miss." However, before he could kneel down, he heard a clear and melodious female voice, "There's no need to be so courteous, quickly get up!"

Madame Dou paused for a moment, and still bowed her head to stand up.

Jin Lan looked at him for a while before speaking: "From what Mu Lan said, you have something to see me about?"

"Yes." Madame Dou raised her head and quickly glanced at Jin Lan, who was sitting on the main seat, then hesitantly said: "Reporting to young lady, my sister-in-law has an emergency. I'm afraid she won't be able to return to the mansion to serve young miss, so I specifically asked this servant to take a leave of absence for young lady."

Wan Ju got an emergency? It was not only Jin Lan, even the Mama Tang and Wen Zhu who were at the side couldn't help but be startled. Is it serious? "

A hint of uneasiness flashed across Madame Dou's face, "Speak, I said that I was hit by heatstroke and that I ate too much. When I woke up in the morning, I would vomit and vent out.

Although the unnatural expression disappeared in a flash, it was coincidentally noticed by Jin Lan. He immediately became suspicious. She thought for a moment, then said with a worried expression: "Wan Ju is someone that I can help with, I can't ignore her disease, Mama, quickly go and invite a doctor to visit Wan Ju's home, don't miss your sickness."

The Madame Dou panicked and quickly waved her hands, "How could I bother you? The doctor has already invited you over and even wrote down a prescription saying that you need to take a few doses of medicine. You just need to rest for a few days."

Jin Lan shook his head and insisted: "Doctor Jiang, whom I have often treated in my residence as an emergency patient, is very good at treating emergencies. I'll have her show it to Wan Ju as soon as possible."

"You can't!" Madame Dou's face suddenly changed, she was so anxious that she couldn't speak, but before she could finish, she screamed in her heart, and anxiously tried to salvage the situation: "I, I mean, Miss is very kind, and Miss thinks that it's a blessing to hold onto my sister-in-law's hand, but if the doctor who treated her were to find out that there are some relatives in the family, I'm afraid that the doctor might invite someone else to take a look at me, and I'm afraid that my family wouldn't be afraid of causing trouble, and might lose the dignity of the household."

Jin Lan's eyes slightly moved, and her white fingertips slowly slid across the exquisite patterns on the teacup. She looked at Sister Wan Ju with a fixed gaze, and didn't say a word.

Mama Tang and Wen Zhu looked at each other, clearly seeing the doubt in each other's eyes. Logically speaking, if this miss was willing to request a doctor to treat Wan Ju, her sister-in-law should be extremely grateful, but why did she keep pushing it around, as if this lady was trying to harm Wan Ju? However, since the lady was asking, they couldn't interrupt and could only listen attentively from the side.

He could not help but shiver. In the room, there was an ice mountain that was supposed to be used for the summer, it was cool and pleasant, but on the tip of her nose, there were beads of sweat. It was wet and itchy, but she did not dare to extend her hand to wipe it, and just stood there with her head lowered, staring blankly.

Jin Lan placed the tea cup on the table with a clink, as if he had thought of something by accident. "Oh yes, when Wan Ju came home, I specifically gave her a box of millet cakes.

"Huh?" Madame Dou did not expect Jin Lan to turn his attention to food the moment he made a sound, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.

How could she have known that her sister-in-law wasn't wearing a red date cake or something like that? Her eyes rolled around as she tried to think of a way to hide it, but she inadvertently found Jin Lan staring at her, as if trying to see through her thoughts. He could not help but panic, and before he had time to think, he opened his mouth and replied, "The restaurant's food is so precious, of course it's excellent. Even the food sold outside can't compare to it. This servant has lived for so many years, but this is the first time I've eaten such delicious millet cake. "

Following Madame Dou's flattery, Jin Lan's heart gradually sank to the bottom.
