Jin Lan followed Madame SHen out of the Jiayu Hall, through the garden, and onto the veranda. When the Shuixie Pavilion's door was still far away, she couldn't help but ask: "Mother, maybe Chun Xiao's death was also related to the Concubine Shao. Why didn't you tell the old lady and just let her go so easily?"
Madame SHen glanced at Jin Lan, his gaze gentle. "Your thoughts are still this heavy, when will you be able to change them?" He then turned his head and looked in the direction of the Jiayu Hall, "Right now, in the old lady's eyes, no one is heavier than the Concubine Shao's stomach, even if Ling Shan were to testify, it would not be of any use. "Rest assured, I have my own plans for the future."
She knew very well in her heart that even if Concubine Shao was not pregnant, this matter could only be dealt with secretly, and could not be put on the surface. If this information were to accidentally leak out, even though it would ruin her reputation as a Ye Mansion, he would still have to deal with Jin Lan and other juniors in the future.
As a result, the old lady had prepared to use the reason of nurturing the baby to imprison the Concubine Shao within her Bright Autumn Pavilion and seize the authority of her butler to pacify the people's hearts.
With regards to the matters in the manor, the Old Granny's heart was probably as clear as a mirror. If they were to continue pestering her, they would only be able to injure their enemies, not injure themselves.
Seeing that the Madame SHen was not willing to let him know, Jin Lan swallowed her words and followed the Madame SHen into the house.
Right now, Qiu Wen was already a servant in the Madame SHen, but she was still used to sitting outside on the veranda and sewing. The early autumn sun was not hot, making people feel lazy and comfortable under the sun. While holding onto the soles of her shoes, she occasionally glanced at the entrance of the courtyard. Seeing Madame SHen and Jin Lan slowly walking over, she hurriedly put down the Thousand Layers Shoes in her hands, stood up and greeted them, "Madam, Miss."
The Madame SHen nodded, she raised her leg and walked up the stairs, Qiu Wen quickly went to beat up the curtain.
Inside the house, there were already people waiting for them. Before Madame SHen could say anything, Jin Lan rushed to ask, "Why is it you?"
The person who was waiting in the room was the Doctor Gong who had already bid his farewell when the Jiayu Hall came. It was just that he did not expect that she had not left the mansion, but had instead come for the Shuixie Pavilion.
Doctor Gong looked at Jin Lan, still maintaining his indifferent look, "It's my rude Second Miss."
The Madame SHen did not seem to be surprised at all that the Doctor Gong would appear here. She turned her head and ordered Man Ping to get some tea, then pulled Jin Lan to sit on the soft couch while she ordered the servants to retreat. Then she smiled at the Doctor Gong: "I did not inform Lan Er that you would come.
When the Doctor Gong saw that Jin Lan was extremely close to the Madame SHen, the indifference on his face receded a little and was replaced with a faint smile. "Why should I bother with the Second Miss?"
"Mother." Jin Lan tugged at the corner of Madame SHen's sleeves. "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
The diagnosis and treatment of Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu confirmed the doubt in her heart. Previously, whenhe smelled poison in that bowl of Medicinal Juice, she didn't know whether it was Drunken Immortal Powder or June Snow. Although it was possible that Concubine Shao did something to the medicine, the greater possibility was that there was something wrong with the medicine itself. Otherwise, how could Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu change the prescription?
As a result, she greatly disliked this Doctor Gong.
When the Madame SHen saw her looking as if she was about to meet a great enemy, and recalled the bowl of Medicinal Juice that she smashed once, she immediately understood and patted her head affectionately: "Lan Er, Doctor Gong is not an outsider, she is the daughter of the Gui Mama."
"Mama Gui?" Jin Lan couldn't help but be taken aback. This name was unfamiliar to her, and she didn't have the slightest impression of it in her mind. It was as if she had never even heard of it.
Looking at Jin Lan's puzzled expression, Doctor Gong smiled slightly, "When my mother left home, she wasn't even born yet, how could she recognize him?"
Madame SHen lightly patted her forehead and could not help but laugh: "I was careless." With that, she said to Jin Lan, "Mama Gui is my mother's wet nurse, just like you and Mama Tang."
In other words, the Doctor Gong was like a big help to him, a person that his mother trusted? No wonder when her mother had fainted last time, she had used Doctor Jiang's recipe. When her mother had woken up, she had insisted on changing it to the Doctor Gong, saying that if there was a doctor she could trust in this world, it would be the Doctor Gong.
Jin Lan came to a realization.
"But …" Wan Ju said, you saved her, what's going on? " Other than the bowl of Medicinal Juice s, what she remembered the most was Wan Ju's disappearance.
Madame SHen was startled for a moment. She and Doctor Gong looked at each other, then suddenly remembered what happened.
Jin Lan was shocked. Could it be that his mother knew about this as well?
Madame SHen didn't want to be separated because of such a small matter, so she pulled her to her side and softly said: "Lan Er, it's been a long time since we've talked about the things here. If you're willing to listen, I'll tell you everything that has happened."
Jin Lan didn't put in so much effort, scouting and testing medicine, and even got the Mama Tang to think of ways to find clues. Wasn't it for precisely this sentence? How could he not be happy? He nodded his head immediately: "Lan Er is willing to listen to mother."
Madame SHen took a light sip from the tea cup with green flowers and lotus flower patterns and cleared her throat, before she explained everything, "Although I was injured when I gave birth to you, with Soo Soo, I will be able to recover in a short period of time. "Just like back then …"
She choked before continuing, "I didn't expect the medicine to be consumed every day, but my body is getting weaker every day. In the end, I can't even walk anymore, and every three or four steps I have to pant. However, from the pulse, it seems like nothing has happened. We just need to rest for a short period of time. "
"Soo Soo thought that there was a problem with the medicine. However, even though she was staying in the residence and personally used the medicine to fry the medicine, she did not leave it at that and could only constantly consume the medicine to recuperate. In the end, however, she grew weaker and weaker, and if she did not eat it, she would not even be able to get up from her bed. It was only until the day you smashed that bowl of Medicinal Juice that I started to suspect if there was a traitor by my side. At the same time, I told this matter to Soo Soo. It's just that I didn't expect you to secretly take the medicinal dregs and let Wan Ju go out to examine the medicine. "
"Take it. Let me say it." The moment Madame SHen's words fell, Doctor Gong immediately followed, "Since you were young and weren't close with your wife, to suddenly do such a thing, I doubt if you knew anything, so I found two reliable people to guard at the Ye Mansion's back door and corner door. That day, when your servant Wan Ju who was by your side left the residence, she was immediately eyed by someone, one of them was found by me while the other one was a stranger's face. My men followed them all the way, and only then did they save Wan Ju's life. "
"Later on, I will go to the Lingji Temple and have Master Hui Wu help my veins heal." With that, Madame SHen let out a long breath. Her gaze landed on Jin Lan's face, which was furrowing from deep thought. She couldn't help but hug him, "Mother didn't lie to you, it's just that I don't want you to be in danger."
So it was like this! She took a deep breath in and smiled at Madame SHen. Suddenly, she stood up and walked in front of Doctor Gong and bowed, "It's Lan Er who misunderstood Doctor Gong, Lan Er has apologized to you."
Doctor Gong's expression changed as he quickly stopped Jin Lan from bowing, "What is Miss doing? I don't dare to treat you as such a great gift! "
Jin Lan shook her head, and said seriously: "Doctor Gong has always wholeheartedly treated Mother, but Lan Er still acted like a lowly person, this is truly not something that should be done. Doctor Gong will naturally be able to receive this bow. "
When the Madame SHen heard Jin Lan's words, he also nodded and agreed, "Soo Soo, you just have to bear with it. All these years, you have been wholeheartedly taking care of my body and also saved Wan Ju's life a few days ago.
The Doctor Gong was helpless and could only let go as he received Jin Lan's gift.
After the three of them sat down, Doctor Gong asked about the Concubine Shao. After hearing about the matter regarding Old Madame Ye, he asked worriedly, "What do we do now? If this child is born, I'm afraid … " I'm afraid that the Madame SHen will be even more powerless.
At the mention of Concubine Shao, the joy on Madame SHen's face faded. She slightly raised her eyebrows and her eyes flashed, "The reason the old lady asked me to be the housekeeper was because she was afraid that I had thoughts that I shouldn't have had, so she tied her to me. Therefore, in the next eight months, not only will we have to eat well and drink well, but we will also have to ensure that the child in her womb is absolutely safe! "
Although the Madame SHen made it sound casual, Jin Lan could hear the tinge of patience in her words. His heart suddenly ached and he snuggled into the Madame SHen's embrace.
Shuixie Pavilion was nearing the end of their secret conversation, yet Jiayu Hall had only just begun.
