Not long after Jin Lan left, the Mama Wu entered the house. When the Old Ancestor Madame Chen saw that she had returned, she dismissed all the young ladies in the house, including the four maids from Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Only she and the Mama Wu were left in the house.

"Have you asked them all?" The Madame Chen supported her as she stood up and slowly walked inside the room.

Mama Wu hurriedly stepped forward to support Madame Chen. "I've asked everything, and said that everything was fine for that Second Miss, except for her weak body. Eight out of ten days is spent lying on the bed."

"Since her body is weak, how could she know that everything is fine?" Madame Chen furrowed her brows, and her expression became cold, "In my opinion, she is obviously blaming me for sending her to the Yangzhou."

Mama Wu carried Madame Chen to sit on the bed of the Black Wood Gold Twisted Elephant, bent down to take off her shoes, and then carefully helped her lie down on the cushions of the White Peony Palace on the blue ground. She then smiled and said: "How could I? Master is a kind-hearted person, so we did this so that she could reunite with her family as soon as possible. "

The Old Ancestor was terrified, and immediately ignited a land dragon inside her Longevity Hall. Although the room was warm, she still covered Madame Chen with a blanket.

After the Madame Chen heard this, he was silent for a moment, then said: "What do you think about Jin Lan, that girl?"

"Your servant's eyesight is poor, I can't see a single ugly one at all." Mama Wu half sat on the edge of the bed, nestling his feet under the covers and holding it tightly in her chest, "However, Miss Jin Lan is quite an intelligent person, and if she were to grow up in the future, she would definitely become an extremely famous person."

Madame Chen's expression relaxed a bit as she gently looked at him, "After all these years, among the people following me, who else could be the clearest?"

Mama Wu laughed: "This servant is just trying to pick the teeth and share the wisdom, how can I compare to you, Master?"

"You don't have to be modest." Madame Chen sighed, held her forehead and said with some pity: "Jin Lan, this girl does look good, and she is somewhat scheming. It's just that she is a bit young, and her body is weak.

Mistress, you are overthinking it." Wu mama's hand paused before she started to squeeze again. "It's better to be young, to be well-bred for a few years, and to understand what's right and wrong in the future. You'll know who's truly affectionate towards her." "As for my weak body …" She then revealed a smile and pointed out, "With the Holy Hand in the Imperial Physician Courtyard, taking good care of her body for a few years, and a lively and active body, didn't the three ladies act exactly like this back then?

Madame Chen's eyes lit up as she nodded: "You're right. It's still early, let's see what you have to say first." After thinking for a moment, she said, "Send the things you prepared to the Plum Garden and hand them over to the Embroidered Girl Lan personally."

Mama Wu replied with a smile, "Yes."

Lixia led Jin Lan and the others out of the Longevity Hall and headed east. They quickly arrived at the Plum Garden which was not too far away from the Longevity Hall. The ladies who came to pay their respects were all staying in the Plum Garden. It was too late for Jin Lan to come, as the East Wing was already full. Only the west wing room was still empty. Ye Jinwei looked around, and then picked the house that was close to the east side.

Jin Lan didn't care about it at all as he stepped into the other room. It was clean and clean, spotless, and the furniture was all brand-new. It must have just been moved out of the storage room, and they were all made of fine chicken wings wood. A five-fan face chicken fin wood inlaid with a hundred flowers compete for the screen, is a double moon bent leg lotus lotus lotus bed.

Every courtyard in the Ye Mansion had an Earth Dragon, so it was very warm for winter to sleep on the bed. In addition to the bed, there was also a brick bed placed under the window. On top of the bed, there was a carved small table and two brocade cushions. Although the earth dragon was not burning in the Plum Garden like the Longevity Hall, there was a very strong silver furnace inside the house, so it was not cold.

Seeing that Jin Lan was satisfied, she called for the maidservants outside the room and smiled: "Miss, she is Jin Qian. Everything in the Plum Garden is under her control, if Miss has any needs, feel free to look for her."

Jin Qian stepped forward and bowed to Jin Lan, "This servant greets Lady Jin Lan."

Jin Lan sized her up. She appeared to be around sixteen to seventeen years old, and her appearance couldn't be considered elegant. There was a red mole growing from the end of her right eye, giving her a strange look. She nodded and whispered, "Quickly get up. I'll have to trouble you in the future."

Jin Qian stood up, and hurriedly promised that she did not dare.

Seeing that everything had been arranged, Lixia bade Jin Lan farewell, "Miss should rest for a while. The Old Ancestor will send someone to call for Miss when we have dinner later."

"Thank you elder sister Lixia." Jin Lan gave her a bashful smile, then gave Wan Ju a meaningful glance, which caused Wan Ju to immediately follow Lixia out.

Once Xia Yi left, Jin Qian and the others finished looking through the house, and took note of the things that needed to be added, and then left to busy themselves in Ye Jinwei's house.

Bi He took off the cloak that Jin Lan wore and hung it on the chicken wing wooden threaded hibiscus rack. Then, she nimbly poured a pot of hot tea and asked worriedly, "Miss, the Old Ancestor didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Jin Lan burst out laughing, his originally tired mood immediately becoming spirited. "Look at what you're saying, the Old Ancestor is not a ferocious beast, what can he do to me?"

Bi He then felt embarrassed and quickly went forward to make up the bed for Jin Lan.

Jin Lan sat on the soft cushion at the head of the brick bed, and just happened to see Bi He's busy figure. She thought for a bit, then suddenly asked: "Where is Mama Shang?"

Bi He did not even raise her head, as she continued to stroke the bed: "I wonder what business Mama Wu has, the moment I entered, I invited you in to have a chat with me, I and Wan Ju were afraid that Miss would not see anyone, so I did not follow you over."

Mama Wu? Jin Lan raised the teacup and lightly sipped. In that case, the Mama Wu should be looking for the Mama Shang to get some information? Was it the Old Ancestor's idea? I wonder what the Mama Shang will say. Judging from the situation at the Old Ancestor's house, the situation was not looking good!

Bi He had just made up her bed and sent Wan Ju and the invisible Mama Shang out of the courtyard back into the room. After closing the door, Wan Ju nodded to Jin Lan and said: "Miss, everything has been completed."

When Jin Lan saw Mama Shang come in, he stood up impatiently, "Mama."

The Mama Shang signaled Jin Lan not to be impatient. She stood by the door for a while before walking over, "Don't worry Miss, I won't say anything that I shouldn't say."

"Mama, could it be that Mama Wu is here to look for you?" Hearing Mama Shang say this, Bi He could not help but ask curiously.

The Mama Shang had a calm face and her eyes sparkled, "Miss, although the Mama Wu only knocked on the door to tell me that most of the information is related to the lady's body, it still involves the lady's body."

Jin Lan's clear eyes narrowed. "Mother?" Why the mother?

"That's right." Mama Shang nodded her head solemnly, "Old Ancestor is more concerned about Madam's health than I thought. Miss, this servant thinks that this matter is more complicated than we thought."

Even if the Old Ancestor wanted to choose a Prince and Lateral Consort from among them, taking a step back, even if he wanted to send them to the palace, he wouldn't have anything to do with his mother, right? Why was Mama Wu asking for news of his mother like this? Jin Lan felt as if a mess had been stuffed into his mind, and he couldn't make sense of it no matter how hard he tried. He couldn't help but mumble, "Just what does the Old Ancestor want to do?"

"No matter what the Old Ancestor is thinking, we have to be more alert in the near future." Mama Shang's face was filled with caution, she said to Wan Ju and Bi He: "The current situation is unclear, the mansion's ladies are weak, we can only rely on ourselves to think of a way. In the future, if Miss goes to the Old Ancestor's house, don't just stand by the door. You should spend more time with the maids of the other Miss. "

Wan Ju and Bi He looked at each other and nodded strongly, "Mama, don't worry, we know what to do."

"This alone is not enough." He thought for a moment and said, "The Old Ancestor's birthday is in late December, and it's only the end of October. There are still almost two months left, so we have to think of a way to safely pass it." Not only the Old Ancestor, but just Ye Jinyan and the others were enough to give others a headache.

Before she could come up with any viable method, a knock sounded on the door. "Miss Jin Lan."

Jin Lan's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously raised his head to look at Mama Shang.

"It's the Mama Wu." Mama Shang moved her lips and said softly. She then gave Wan Ju and Bi He a meaningful glance before stepping forward to open the door, "Why is Sister Wu here?"

"I am also following the orders of the old ancestor to give something to Lady Jin Lan." Mama Wu entered the house full of smiles. She first paid her respects to Jin Lan, then placed the embroidered box in front of her.

Jin Lan looked at the square colored silk box, and smiled submissively: "Since the Old Ancestor has given it to me, I should be the one to personally go and get it. I'll have to trouble Mama to take a trip, Mama, please take a seat."

Wan Ju hurriedly brought a round plum blossom chair for Mama Wu as she poured tea.

Mama Wu smiled and shook her head, "There's no need. It was the Old Ancestor's order for this servant to deliver the items. Furthermore, the Old Ancestor still needs someone to serve him. This servant will not delay this lady's rest. " As he spoke, he turned around to leave.

Since she said so, Jin Lan couldn't force himself to stay. He then looked at Mama Shang and asked her to send him off.

When the Mama Shang finished sending them back to the house, Jin Lan opened the box and took a look, causing everyone to be stunned.

The four of them looked at each other in dismay. Jin Lan stretched out his hand to shake the coat at the top, and beneath it was a mist-colored halo like a phoenix fairy dress. The vivid and lifelike acacia flowers bloomed like the wind on the branches.

Even Jin Lan had never seen such fine materials and exquisite embroidery!

Mama Shang looked at the dress in the embroidered box, her face pale. She stabilized her beating heart and said: "Miss, this is just embroidery."

Jin Lan trembled. Embroidery? Wasn't that something that came out of the palace? As if she was holding a hot potato, she hurriedly put the cashmere jacket back into the box. Her delicate face gradually lost its color.

If she had gotten dressed, she would have been jostled to death by the girls who lived in the Plum Garden before she could even walk out. Moreover, there was Ye Jinwei!

Was the Old Ancestor planning to let her have a taste of being besieged from all sides so that she could obediently listen to him? Could it be that the cowardice she displayed just now was still unable to dispel the interest that the Old Ancestor placed in her?

Jin Lan's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
