Jin Lan straightened his body as he slowly leaned back onto the pillow, his eyes shining like he wanted to look into her heart through the body of the Mama Shang.

Mama Shang kneeled on the ground with her chest and head down, she did not look flustered, but now that Jin Lan had laid a hand on her, she did not dare to speak in such a righteous manner, and since Jin Lan did not speak, she could not speak anymore.

For a moment, the room was silent.

After a long while, Jin Lan retracted his gaze, and suddenly asked: "Mama, what are your conditions?"

Mama Shang's body shook slightly, the calmness on her face showed that she was barely able to do it.

When Jin Lan saw this, the corners of his mouth curled, as if he did not notice the unusual expression on Mama Shang's face, "The fact that Mama is here tonight is nothing but something worth thinking about, so why don't you tell me?"

The moment Mama Shang opened her mouth, she immediately confessed the fact that she had snitched. Sometimes she would probe her, and sometimes she would kneel down and admit her mistake, making trouble everywhere she went, simply because she did not want to blow the matter. Even if she suppressed Mama Shang's arrogance and haughtiness, it would not be so effective. The only explanation was that she had a request.

It wasn't that Jin Lan didn't think of using this opportunity to get rid of Mama Shang, it was just that there was one less Mama Shang. It was clear that the Old Granny would not allow her to go to the capital alone. She had to arrange for people to restrict and supervise the proceedings, so that the Old Granny could send some of her trusted aides to her side.

At least, the current Mama Shang's performance was enough to prove that she was not of the same heart as the old lady.

Mama Shang never thought that there would still be room for turning the situation around. She raised her head to look at Jin Lan, and said a little urgently: "This servant wants to redeem himself."

"A ransom?" Jin Lan frowned slightly, "The Old Ancestor letting the Mama enter the Yangzhou is only a temporary matter. After the etiquette professor is done, you can return to the capital. Even if the Mama wanted to redeem herself, she should have asked the Old Ancestor. Could it be that he wanted her to beg the Old Ancestor?

"That should be the case. It's just that this servant only found out after arriving at the Yangzhou, that First Princess has already handed over this servant's indenture contract to the old lady." This meant that from now on, she was a servant of the Ye Mansion.

The Mama Shang was someone who came from the palace, it was not strange that the Old Ancestor sent him here to teach the girls the etiquette and etiquette. Many families in Jiang-Nan city would spend their efforts to find a good guide Mama, especially those old Mama s or palace maids that were released by the palace. But the Mama Shang looked like she was capable by the side of the Old Ancestor, how could she have even sent over the indenture contract?

She lifted the teacup, lifted the teacup, and lightly brushed the leaves floating above the teacup. With a light voice, she said, "Since that's the case, Mama has also found the wrong person. The old lady lives in Jiayu Hall."

"Miss." Mama Shang lowered her eyes and hid the sadness in her eyes as she said unhurriedly: "The old lady will definitely have this servant accompany you. Even if this young lady were to leave the pavilion in the future, this servant would definitely help."

Jin Lan's shiny black eyes instantly narrowed, and his face was as cold as frost. "You're threatening me?"

The Education Mama was the same as the Breast Mama, they would be brought to the husband's house as a betrothal marriage. Of course, there were also some Education Mama s who would specially come from wealthy families to give pointers and etiquette rules, and they would resign immediately after teaching. However, this type of education Mama s had very high requirements for status and reputation. Someone like the Mama Shang who had served the First Princess before naturally could be included in the list as well. It was just that, when they left the palace, they had signed an indenture contract with the, so they were bound.

However, with the old lady's personality, she might really keep Mama Shang by her side as a spy.

"This servant does not dare to threaten Second Miss." Mama Shang said in a low voice: "I'm just speaking the truth."

Jin Lan's cold gaze unwaveringly fell on Mama Shang, but he did not respond to her words.

The inside of the house became quiet once again, until the rustling sounds of footsteps came from outside the house. Wan Ju's and Bi He's voices faintly came from outside the door, as if they were assigning some matters to the maids below.

Mama Shang moved her stiff body. If someone were to come in at this time, he was afraid that he would not have the chance. She pondered for a moment before lowering her voice and said, "If Miss can retrieve the contract from the old lady, I am willing to help Miss avoid this calamity."

Although her voice was soft, each word was clearly heard by Jin Lan. A trace of surprise flashed past her heart, so Mama Shang knew that the purpose of this trip to Shang Jing was not simple.

"For First Princess's eightieth birthday, not only did you invite the ladies and First Miss, all of the ladies of appropriate age who came from a branch of the Ye Family were on the list that the First Princess had invited." "First Princess's voice was flat, without any emotions, giving off a feeling of caution," First Princess is planning to pick out a few ladies with the best temperament and send them to the Prince's Mansion for a favor. With my intelligence, I believe I have already guessed this matter.

Jin Lan sipped the tea in the teacup, neither denying nor admitting it.

"But there's one more thing that lady is definitely not aware of." Mama Shang's tone was calm, "I'm afraid that the old lady is also in the dark."

Jin Lan's eyelids twitched as he quietly listened to her words.

There was already a trace of ridicule that could not be concealed in Mama Shang's eyes: "What First Princess's true plan is to send the ladies to the palace, to celebrate today. If my body is well and well today, my Ye Family will naturally improve. I'm afraid that the Ye Family woman who entered the palace to celebrate would leave with me. With this, the new emperor will remember Ye Family and First Princess's goodness. "

Jin Lan turned pale with fright, but when he thought about it again, he felt that although it was unexpected, it was within reason.

The Old Ancestor had spent so much time and effort in arranging for the imperial physicians, giving away clothes and accessories. There were also all sorts of insinuations, indicating that this wasn't an easy task. Even an old granny would not treat her with such kindness, much less a ancestor who had never seen her before and had many grandchildren.

She entered the palace to accompany him. She remembered that her illness in her previous life had never recovered. She forcefully dragged it on, and it was even in the 37th year of the Great Zhou that she died. Right now, there were still more than three years of time left in the thirty-three years of the Great Zhou Empire's autumnal equinox.

Can't enter the palace! At the same time, he felt waves of coldness from the Old Ancestor's methods. Even if it was a side branch, it was still the bloodline of Ye Family!

She looked at Mama Shang, her expression turning heavy.

I can finally move the Second Miss! A look of gratification flashed past Mama Shang's eyes, and she continued to strike the iron while it was still hot, "Although this servant followed First Princess out of the palace, I am still a member of the palace, and more or less know about the matters of others that do not benefit me, and am extremely familiar with the capital city's manors.

Her silky white fingertip caressed the delicate Mu Furong on the teacup. What Mama Shang possessed was precisely the thing that she needed the most, and that was the way to obtain information.

"This servant begs Miss to think of a way to take the indenture contract from the old lady's hands, but it's not to redeem myself immediately. I just hope that when the time comes, Miss can be magnanimous."

"Mama, even if you were by the Old Ancestor's side, you must have had such thoughts, right? Can you tell me the reason? " Jin Lan put down the teacup in his hand with a calm expression. The indenture contract should have been in her hands when the old lady was still in the capital. It was probably because the Mama Shang had done something that had angered the Old Ancestor, causing him to stay far away, out of sight.

Her attitude caused the Mama Shang to be slightly startled, and it took quite a while before she said with difficulty: "This servant is doing this for a pair of children."

After entering the palace, she could only last until she was 25 years old before being able to leave. She looked to be in her early thirties, and even if she followed the First Princess out, the marriage should have been arranged by the ancestor, and her children should have stayed in the palace to take care of the affairs. Even if she took back the indenture contract, she wouldn't be able to bring her family away, so what was she doing for her children?

She smiled bitterly and said, "I was originally a member of a family of poor but innocent people. When I was young, I unintentionally took on an Embroidered Mother from the clothing department of the palace and later became the son of a daughter of my own. I used to sew for people and also used some scented sachet and fan sets to make up for my family, so my days were not too bad.

"Who would've thought that one day, someone would set his eyes on this servant's technique and force me to buy that needle technique. This servant tactfully refuses it, only to end up attracting disaster to myself from now on." He wiped away his secretly overflowing tears and continued to speak: "That person is the owner of the clothing shop in Gesu City. I heard that he has quite a good relationship with the prefect, that he has money and power, and found quite a few immoral characters. Not only did he beat the servant girl, even the half-grown child wanted to take action.

"After that, I had no choice but to go to the capital and seek refuge with my master. The servant girl who brought the child along with her temporarily went back to her relatives and told them that she would be back in a year or so. However, he hadn't expected that this point would last for thirteen years. Ever since she followed First Princess out of the palace, a servant would send someone to find out more about her. It was said that her boss had died of an illness, and her daughter and son had also been lost. Back then, this servant's eyes were filled with tears and I couldn't hold any more needles, so I ended up being a guide Mama in the First Princess's Palace. "

After Mama Shang said this, she clenched her teeth and kowtowed to Jin Lan, "This servant's greatest wish is to find my lost flesh and blood. That's why I want to redeem myself and leave the palace." Then she raised her head, and her tears fell like rain, "This servant knows my wrongs, I shouldn't have offended Miss, but I beg Miss, on account of this servant's eagerness, please forgive this servant! "In the future, this servant will definitely offer her life as a sacrifice. She will gain merits and be able to eat and chant Buddha. I beg Bodhisattva to bless this young lady for a lifetime of wealth and glory, and to live for a hundred years!"

Jin Lan stared blankly into Mama Shang's sad eyes. In his mind, he recalled her mother's appearance. The first time he saw her mother, she had the same expression, but there was even more pain in her eyes.

She let out a long sigh, "Mama, get up." There was an indescribable gentleness in his tone.

"Miss …" Mama Shang's slightly red and swollen eyes lit up, "You agreed to it?"

Jin Lan neither shook his head nor nodded. He seemed to be deep in thought.

There was no sympathy, sympathy or emotion as the Mama Shang had imagined … She was a little uncertain, but she didn't dare say too much. If by any chance she provoked Second Miss, wouldn't it be like lifting a stone to smash her own foot?

Jin Lan pondered for a moment before blinking his sore eyes. "You can leave first."

Mama Shang felt unresigned in his heart, but she could only endure it as she nodded her head, wiping the tears off her face, and left.

The next day, Jin Lan got up. After washing up, he took Wan Ju and the Mama Tang to the Jiayu Hall realm to pay respects to the old lady.
