"What?" How could it be her? Jin Lan could not help but splatter as he stood up, "Which Doctor Gong are you talking about?"

Was there a second Doctor Gong in the Yangzhou City? Wan Ju looked at Jin Lan who had a surprised face and said: "That's the Doctor Gong who treated my wife."

Doctor Gong, Doctor Gong again! It was precisely because Wan Ju took her medicine that she came across such a calamity. Yet in the end, he was actually saved by her.

No, impossible! After Wan Ju entered the medicine shop, she should not have shown her face outside, even when she went to the river bank, she was carried by a palanquin, how could Doctor Gong know about it? Unless... Unless she knew that Wan Ju would be secretly harmed from the start! But why did she want to save Wan Ju? It was convincing that she was the one who killed Wan Ju, it was unbelievable that she had saved Wan Ju.

And who was the lady that came to report the fake letter to Wan Ju's home? Why did she do this? If anyone from the medicine store knew that Wan Ju was rescued, they should have thought of a way to hide. If it was the Doctor Gong, why didn't he send Wan Ju back to the manor? Instead, he had to lie?

He thought that Wan Ju would be able to find the truth after returning, but instead, things became more and more complicated, as if there were two invisible hands pushing things in the opposite direction that he was moving in.

Seeing that Jin Lan's expression was not good, Wan Ju thought that she was scared by what she had said and could not help but secretly blame herself. She quickly got up and helped Jin Lan to sit down, and asked worriedly: "Miss, are you scared? It's my bad, I shouldn't have said these things to you. "

"I'm fine." She rubbed her forehead that was faintly aching, and a moment later, her eyes regained their former clarity. She held Wan Ju's hand: "Since there's nothing wrong, why have you not returned to the Palace, letting me worry about you these past few days, it's been a long time."

"Your servant is disappointing." Wan Ju blinked his somewhat red and swollen eyes, "Doctor Gong said that those people knocked out the servant, and when she fell to the ground, they knocked her forehead on a rock. "Many geniuses opened their eyes, but they were still in a daze and could not remember what had happened. That's why they were unable to return to their homes and caused this lady to worry."

Jin Lan pushed away the strands of hair on her forehead. Sure enough, there was a small scar on her forehead near her hair. Although it was healed, the reddish-brown flesh bulged out like a spider.

Wan Ju dodged and turned her head. He had personally seen that scar before, and even he himself felt that it was incomparably ugly, let alone a lady …

All of a sudden, she felt a hint of cool air gently land on that scar. A voice filled with concern sounded in her ears: "Does it hurt?"

Wan Ju was startled, she raised her eyes to look at Jin Lan, only to see her extending her hand, her white fingertips slowly sliding across the ugly scar, her face under the light was full of guilt. She could not help but tremble slightly as a layer of mist appeared in her eyes. She sniffed with all her might and shook her head. "It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt anymore."

From the looks of it, Wan Ju had broken his appearance, with such a big scar, there was a 80 to 90% chance that she would not be able to remove it. Jin Lan's eyes became unsightly. She retracted her cold little hands and carefully looked at Wan Ju. A servant of Ye Family, she had never had any problems looking at him. She silently sighed, her gaze gentle. "Hurry up and stop crying. These past few days, I've made you suffer. Tonight, you should properly rest up."

Wan Ju wiped away her tears, "This servant is not tired, Bi He must have already gone to bed, this servant will watch out for Miss."

Jin Lan lowered his head and picked up the cup of cold tea. A faint bitterness spread through his mouth. Tea, it's better to drink it while it's hot. She raised a gentle smile and said gently: "Tomorrow is the Kitigarbha's Christmas, I'm afraid more people will come to burn incense than usual, Mama is too old to accept it, you go rest first, tomorrow morning I will burn incense," afraid that she would be worried, she added: "There's a Mama at night."

Hearing that, Wan Ju could only nod her head and agree, then bowed to Jin Lan and left.

Mama Tang closed the door, and then put a bolt in, and then helped Jin Lan up onto the bed.

Jin Lan sat upright on the bed and lightly patted the edge of the bed. The Mama Tang understood and half sat by her side, helping her to straighten her slightly sliding clothes.

After he slightly arranged his thoughts that seemed to have become numbed, Jin Lan turned his head to the side and looked at Mama Tang, and asked softly: "Mama, how did you find Wan Ju?"

Mama Tang sized up Jin Lan's face, which was more reserved than usual. It could be seen that she was not feeling well these days.

Jin Lan was startled. He couldn't help but touch her face, but he didn't think too much into it. She had too many things to take care of now.

Seeing that she did not talk, the Mama Tang knew that she was worried about something, so he did not delay, and directly said: "Speaking of it, it's a coincidence, we met at the small corner door."

The Ye Family rules were strict, servants were not allowed to enter and leave the gate, they were not even allowed to enter through the side gate. The front and back courtyard had a small door, which was specially set for servants to enter and exit, but there were also gatekeepers and Attendant s that guarded the gate.

That is to say, Wan Ju came back by herself? Jin Lan muttered to himself for a moment, then said to Mama Tang: "Since Wan Ju is back, let me disperse him, but Mama needs to find some free time, find Wan Ju and ask him where the medicine store is, and let me find a way to ask about that shopkeeper." After thinking for a bit, he continued, "Also, Doctor Gong, although Mother said that she is trustworthy, I still feel that Wan Ju's matter is related to her. I will have Big Brother ask around as well to see if there are any flaws."

Mama Tang nodded, "Alright."

Jin Lan didn't say anything more. The night was filled with joy and worry. Coupled with the bumps and unexplainable fear during the day, Jin Lan's expression relaxed. He immediately felt tired.

The Mama Tang laid her down and covered her with a blanket. After covering her with the blanket, she went back to rest on the small bed outside.

The night passed in silence.

A hundred years in the Cauldron Realm together, the morning bell and the evening drum have no time to rest.

The sky had just turned gray, and the melodious sound of the bell rang out in the morning sunlight. The monks were singing their praises while the buddhist medallions were faintly ringing, harmonizing with the sound of the bell and washing away the mortal world's dirt, causing people's hearts to become increasingly ethereal.

Jin Lan got up early, and was helped by Bi He and Wan Ju to get dressed.

After washing her noodles, Bi He put on a yellow brocade orchid herb and persimmon brocade. She wore a crescent white embroidered bamboo plum blossom dress with threads at the side, and the Mama Tang was giving her a double bun. Bi He opened her mirror, preparing to choose two suitable pieces of jewelry based on her clothes today.

After searching for a while, Bi He couldn't help but let out a cry. After carefully thinking about it, she asked full of suspicion: "Miss, where's that lamb fat jade Jasmine hairpin of yours?"

Jin Lan lowered his face, trying to avoid the question while thinking. After a long while, he raised his head and asked with a puzzled expression, "Didn't he fall on the bed?"

"But I didn't see it when I made up the girl's bed last night. This servant thought it was Miss who had put it away." Bi He said as she walked to the side of the bed and looked again carefully, but she still could not find her.

"It's fine if you can't find it, but it's not something precious anyway. Just throw it away." Jin Lan took out a jade inlaid pearl and Eight Treasures hairpin from the mirror and handed it over to Mama Tang.

Bi He opened his mouth, wanting to say more, but seeing that Jin Lan did not care about it, he decided not to, and casually arranged the disordered bed.

Wan Ju finished packing the cage and poured a cup of tea for Jin Lan. Seeing the hairpin on her head, she said: "Young lady only brought a hairpin, could it be that you used a bit too much?"

Jin Lan swept his eyes over the figure in the copper mirror, the slightly sharp oval face, porcelain white and exquisite skin, with eyes like a pool of autumn water, clear and bright, her exquisite nose with no rouge but with red lips, at first glance she looked very similar to Madame SHen. The Eight Treasures hairpin on his head faintly glowed with a jade-green light. If he only brought a hairpin, it would truly be a bit useless, even though he had come to offer incense, it was different today. He might even meet the wives in the Yangzhou City.

She was slightly startled and chose two fingernail-sized peach silk flowers and a pair of scarlet silver pearl pendants. As a result, they were gentle and graceful, just right for her.

After dressing, Jin Lan brought Wan Ju and Bi He to Madame SHen's room. After using the fast food that was brought over early in the morning, Madame Qin coincidentally brought Meng Ruhan over, and the group majestically went to the great hall.

Although it was still early, it was Kitigarbha's Christmas and there were many people who came to snatch the incense. Other than the pilgrims who stayed in the temple, the good men and women in the vicinity also got up before dawn. At this moment, a few people had already entered the Earth Treasury Hall. On the other hand, the entrance to the Great Treasure Hall was cold and deserted. It was unknown if anyone entered. The Madame Qin had always been rushing to get the incense, but now that they were getting closer, they could not help but increase their pace, and gradually pulled away from Madame SHen and the others.

Meng Ruhan, however, was not in a hurry at all. She leisurely walked beside Jin Lan, pulled her to look left and right, sizing up the buddhist hall that was just passing by. The two of them carried Drapery Cap s, so although they could not see it clearly, they were still full of interest, so they did not mind it much. Only when the figure of the Madame Qin disappeared from the Great Hall, did the group of people walk to the steps of the hall.

Jin Lan raised his head and looked at the majestic buddhist hall with its ash-gray fish-scale tiles and vermilion wooden pillars. On the front entrance of the hall, there was a signboard with the words "The Three Saints of Magnificence" written in black and gold. Inside was dedicated to the three Sakyamuni, Sakyamuni Buddha in the middle, Pu Xian Bodhisattva on the left and Wen Shu Bodhisattva on the right. Below them were more than ten monks chanting scriptures and beating wooden fish for their morning lesson. There weren't any pilgrims in the hall, so it was likely that all of them had gone to the Earth Treasury.

The Madame Qin was extremely quick, the moment the Madame SHen and the rest stepped into the hall, she had already finished paying her respects to the incense, and was chanting an incantation. She waved her hand, and a green bamboo lot fell out. Madame Qin picked it up quickly, and after reading it, he revealed a happy smile.

Seeing that, the Madame SHen walked over, Jin Lan looked at it, but did not leave, because the table for the drawing of lots was placed at the entrance of the hall.

She just stood there, but she didn't expect that someone would come in like a gust of wind behind her, almost knocking her to the ground …
