"I can't accept such a huge gift!" Although Ye Jinyan's sarcasm wasn't loud, it happened to fall into the ears of every girl present. The girls who were hesitating to get up immediately gave up on their idea. Seventh Miss was the direct descendent of the family. Compared to Jin Lan, they were more willing to befriend Ye Jinyan.

Ye Jinfang, the sixth girl, and the eighth girl, who had already returned the greeting, all had somewhat embarrassed expressions. They glanced at Jin Lan and also withdrew.

The smile on Jin Lan's face did not diminish, but a cold glint slowly appeared in his eyes. Since the moment they had entered the residence, Ye Jinyan had not given her a good look, and kept insulting her with her words. Although she didn't want to cause too much trouble at such a critical moment, she couldn't tolerate it at the moment.

After all, standing here represented the Lan Clan!

Jin Lan took a deep breath, looked at Ye Jinyan, who was in the middle of everyone, and said indifferently: "Big sister Yan, Jin Lan is stupid, I don't know where you offended me. In front of so many sisters, little sister will be apologizing for you." Saying that, she gave a slight bow to Ye Jinyan, "I hope elder sister will not mind this lowly one, don't fuss about it with me again."

Ye Jinyan did not expect Jin Lan to lower his head so straightforwardly. Before he could even speak out the words that had been brewing in his mind, he was choked with sobs for a moment, and then shouted angrily: "Who wants to haggle with you? I am only speaking the truth. The Old Ancestor clearly told people to go around and shout in advance, yet you only came now. You don't even care about the Old Ancestor's face.

Jin Lan was so angry that he laughed instead. He obviously wanted to make things difficult for her, but in the end, he turned black and white and even wanted to blame her for being disrespectful towards his elders. Did he really think that she was a soft persimmon who could be taken advantage of no matter what she wanted to do? Her lips slightly parted. Just as she was about to retort, she heard the jingling of a ring behind her.

"What's going on? To be able to get so angry. " A thick and heavy door curtain was raised, bringing with it a burst of cold Qi, a slender figure stepped over the doorstep, her beautiful shoes gently, with a smile on her face, it was none other than Ye Jinyu who Jin Lan had not seen after entering the room.

Seeing Ye Jinyu coming in, the originally heavy atmosphere in the room immediately calmed down. The girls all raised their heads and looked at him, "Sister Yu is back." "Has the Old Ancestor woken up?" Sister Yu, come over quickly and take a seat. Concern and questioning rose and fell in succession. Compared to the indifference towards Jin Lan, they seemed extremely fervent.

Other than Ye Jinyan, the person with the most noble background among the other branches was Ye Jinyu. Her mother was the County Princess of the Prince Zhennan Palace, the direct descendant of the Prince Zhennan's sister. Thus, other than Ye Jinyan, the one the Old Ancestor doted on the most was Ye Jinyu.

"I'm not wrong." Ye Jinyan's mouth twitched, but he did not continue to shout loudly, and only muttered one sentence.

Ye Jinyu untied her red feathered cloak that had peacock pattern on it, and slowly walked over to hold Jin Lan's hand. She turned her head to look at Ye Jinyan, and with a smile in her eyes, she said, "Little sister Yan, the Old Ancestor has just gotten up, and has not yet come to the Warm Pavilion. Little sister Lan is here, it's just right."

It was just that because she was led by Jin Lan earlier, Ye Jinyan was so angry that she opened her mouth to slander Jin Lan. Now that Ye Jinyu had spoken, although she was unhappy, she knew a little about restraining herself.

Ye Jinyu had long known the temper of this Seventh Cousin Sister of the Clan and knew that she was angry, so he didn't refute her further. She turned her gaze on Jin Lan with a smile and said: "Previously, I heard that Little Sister Lan's health is not good, the weather in the capital is not as warm as the weather in the Jiang Nan, and I was worried that you wouldn't be able to take it.

"Thank you for your concern, Sister Yu." Jin Lan sincerely bowed to Ye Jinyu. She knew that of everyone in the room, Ye Jinyu was the only one who treated her sincerely and hoped that she would be alright. In his previous life, Ye Lin had lost his position due to some reason, and many people viewed her as a fierce beast that would flood. However, Meng Ruhan and Ye Jinyu still treated her like how she was before.

Silently, Ye Jinyan who was observing from the sidelines could not stand seeing the two being so intimate, so she interrupted with a strange look on her face: "Yeah! Sister Jinlan had to pay more attention. If she fell ill in the capital, not only would the tired cousin uncle Lan worry about him, he would also bring misfortune to the old ancestor's life! Of course, we know our sister's body is always weak. If it was anyone else … "Tsk, tsk. Who knows, you might think that your little sister is pampering us!"

"Yan'er!" Ye Jinyu's and Yue Yue Yue's brows knitted together, "What are you trying to do? If the Old Ancestor were to hear your nonsense, he will definitely punish you with copying the books. "

Normally, Ye Jinyu treated her extremely well, but now, she had gone against her for the sake of the Jin Lan, and had even shamed her in front of everyone.

Ye Jinyan could not help but be infuriated. With a "whoosh", she stood up and pointed at Jin Lan as she screamed, "Who is speaking nonsense? "She's just a …" The angry gaze made contact with Jin Lan's expression that was not a smile. His mind could not help but clear up, and as he remembered certain things, he immediately calmed down. The words that were about to burst out of his mouth were forcefully choked in his throat, "Anyway, I was right!"

The tense atmosphere in the room silenced everyone. Ye Jinyue saw that Ye Jinyan was at a disadvantage, so she stood up and said, "Sister Yu, Sister Yan is just worried about Sister Jinlan's body, how can it be considered as nonsense?"

Ye Jinwei also took the opportunity to express her goodwill, smiled and nodded: "Little Sister Yue'er is right, my little sister Lan is indeed a little thin, Sister Yan's words are just a reminder for little sister to be afraid of others, to prevent little sister from losing out." As she spoke, she bowed towards Ye Jinyan. "As a sister, I thank Sister Yan for her concern."

Jin Lan's sharp gaze swept across Ye Jinwei's body, and instantly went back to the bottom of his eyes. Ye Jinwei really did not let go of any opportunity to prop herself up, from the looks of it, did Ye Jinwei see her as a stepping stone? However … The corner of her mouth suddenly rippled with billowing glistening, and she gently struggled free from Ye Jinyu's hands. She turned towards Ye Jinyan and said in a clear voice, "Little sister thanks Big Sister Yan for your concern."

Initially, she was still worried about how she could pass these two months unscathed. However, Ye Jinyan's words just now were like a bolt of lightning that split the numbness in her mind, and a sharp idea emerged from the bottom of her heart.

Therefore, these words of thanks could be considered as sincere and heartfelt.

With the help of Ye Jinyue and Ye Jinwei, as well as Jin Lan's understanding of the situation, Ye Jinyan's expression became slightly better. She did not continue entangling herself with Jin Lan and slowly sat back down on the soft couch.

Seeing that both parties had taken a step back, Ye Jinyu smiled and said: "Alright, alright, Little Sister Lan, don't just stand there. Come and sit here quickly." With that, he led her over.

Seeing that, Ye Jinfang quickly got up and made a seat for the two of them to sit down. She looked at Jin Lan, then carefully examined Ye Jinyu's clothes, "Sister Yu, is this jacket used for the Thousand Sunsets Embroidery?"

At first glance, it looked like the first rays of the morning sun rising from the sea, and the tens of thousands of clouds on the horizon were sparkling, beautiful, but not vulgar. It was an extremely rare brocade.

The jacket she was wearing didn't have much use for embroidery. It was only covered with a faint cloud pattern of peonies at the collar and cuffs, and rolled over with a layer of silver lining. It was elegant and luxurious, with no hairpins at the temples.

Ye Jinyu's eyes flashed, laughed, and did not say much.

After sitting for a while, he heard the sound of Old Ancestor's Madame Chen's crutches coming from outside the door.

The servant girl standing by the door quickly pulled up the curtain, and saw the Mama Wu supporting the Madame Chen as they slowly walked in, followed by the four senior servant girls of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

"Old Ancestor." The girls in the room all stood up and bowed towards Madame Chen.

Ye Jinyan also quickly got off the soft couch, walked up to welcome her, held onto Madame Chen's arm and said coquettishly: "Old Ancestor, you are finally here. Yan'er is really hungry."

When the little girl's coquettish words entered Madame Chen's ears, she immediately laughed out loud, "Look at this gluttonous cat."

She completely ignored Ye Jinyan's provocation. Her ancestor's love for Ye Jinyan was obvious to all, unless she lost her head, then she would want to fight with Ye Jinyan for her favor. Furthermore, she couldn't avoid the Old Ancestor in time, so why would she continue to move closer to him?

A table and chairs had already been set up in the Eastern Warm Pavilion's Side Chamber. Now that everyone had taken their seats, Jin Lan sat at the back and waited for everyone to sit down before choosing a seat. In front was the sixth girl, Ye Jinqiao, and behind her was the eighth girl, Ye Jingrong. It wasn't too far away, and no one could tell what was wrong with it.

The sixth and eighth girls looked at Jin Lan with some surprise. They were born from a concubine, and their seats were always at the back. Although Jin Lan was a side branch, he was still a direct descendant and a guest.

Jin Lan pretended not to notice the strange looks on their faces. He gave them a polite smile in return, but with a sense of familiarity.

Ye Jinyan snuggled beside Madame Chen, talking nonstop, making Madame Chen laugh out loud from time to time. She hugged her and rubbed her hair, making the girl beside him look full of envy. Ye Jinyu sat on the other side of Madame Chen and watched with a smile, but when her gaze landed on Jin Lan who was seated behind, she was stunned.

Jin Lan gave a wink before she even opened her mouth. Ye Jinyu's mind was sharp, and immediately thought of the conflict between her and Ye Jinyan, and he nodded towards her with a smile.

Originally, the Madame Chen noticed that Ye Jinyu had turned his head, so she followed her gaze and looked, and noticed the position of Jin Lan, and said: "Why did Girl Lan run behind? Come and sit by my side. "

Yan Yan Yan's laughter immediately died down as everyone turned their gazes towards Jin Lan.

Ye Jinyan's brows twitched when she was interrupted, and her expression did not change at all. She stared at Jin Lan angrily, with a momentum that showed her if she dared to step forward, she would definitely look good.
