When Jin Lan arrived at the Longevity Hall, the Old Ancestor's Madame Chen was sitting on the warm brick bed, talking to the Mama Wu. When he saw her enter, he immediately stopped and revealed a caring smile, "The Girl Lan is here!"

Lixia took off the embroidered fox cloak he was wearing, then walked over to greet Madame Chen. "Jinlan pays her respects to the Old Ancestor."

"Good boy." Madame Chen seemed to be very satisfied with Jin Lan's respect, smiling as he waved his hand at her, "Come over quickly and let this old lady see, is your body better now?"

Jin Lan didn't hesitate, but stepped forward with a obedient smile on his face, "Lan Er is much better now. Old Ancestor is worried, it's Lan Er's fault."

Madame Chen pulled her, and after scrutinizing her a few times, she patted her small hands and said in a musical voice: "Seeing that Girl Lan is so caring, I can't help but remember her."

The Mama Wu at the side also laughed and agreed, "Yes, Lady Jin Lan is pure and pure. Old Ancestor, you, naturally, will love Lady Jin Lan to the core."

Jin Lan's heart chilled. She had only just come up with such a big hat. If she had any biased opinions, wouldn't she immediately become a person who didn't know what was good for her? Just how muddleheaded was she in her previous life to not realize the deep shrewdness of the Old Ancestor? Instead, she felt that she was a rare and doting elder.

Her heart raced, and a faint blush rose on her small face, as if Madame Chen and her daughter's words had stunned her.

"Your body can't stand the cold, hurry up and sit down." The Madame Chen made Jin Lan sit on the brick bed. Although it looked kind, his sharp eyes were focused on her face, as if he wanted to see through her shy face and see through her true thoughts.

"The Old Ancestor's house is warm in the winter and cold in the summer, why is Lan Er cold?" Even so, Jin Lan still smiled sweetly and shifted his body, half-sitting on the edge of the warm brick bed.

Madame Chen did not let go of her hand. She held it tightly in her palm the entire time, not in a rush to throw it down. The Madame Chen was kind and gentle, even the Mama Wu serving at the side felt that it was true that Sun Xiao was kind and benevolent.

"In the end, your body is still too weak." Madame Chen laughed as she spoke, she suddenly changed the topic and sighed: "Back then, your third sister was similar as well. Fortunately, Saint Hand was there later on, and it took her many years of hard work to recover."

Was he finally getting down to business? Jin Lan felt a chill run down her spine. She didn't expect the old ancestor to use the three ladies as a topic. When she thought of the red-faced Third Miss, an indescribable sorrow arose in her heart. She wondered if the Old Ancestor would feel a tinge of guilt when he recalled this pitiful Xuan Sun's daughter at midnight.

Madame Chen was not clear about what Jin Lan was thinking, but she looked at him with her clear eyes, thinking that she was just feeling it, and the expression on her face became even more kind, "A few days ago, Imperial Physician Wang and you supported your pulse, and came to me to report. Since you had caught the cold, more than a month have passed, but you have yet to recover, it is sufficient to see the depth of the cold in your body. I remember that Imperial Physician Situ, who had returned to his hometown, gave you a look once? "

"Yes." Jin Lan put away the thoughts at the side, held his breath, and fully focused on dealing with the Old Ancestor, "It was Lan Er's three lives of good fortune that allowed him to obtain the diagnosis and treatment of the Imperial Physician Situ."

Madame Chen nodded his head, "Imperial Physician Situ has a very high opinion of himself, to be able to get him to help is indeed your good fortune, I wonder how he sees the cold ailment in your body?"

When the Old Ancestor said the Imperial Physician Situ's name, Jin Lan understood in his heart.

Even if Imperial Physician Situ wanted to return to his hometown, he would not hide his presence and secretly go to the Yangzhou. He was sure that it was because something happened in the Imperial Physician Guild that caused Imperial Physician Situ to behave like this.

When the Old Ancestor mentioned the Imperial Physician Situ, although he spoke with praise, his tone was not respectful at all. Instead, there was a hint of ridicule. It could be said that when the Imperial Physician Wang saw the bottle and recognized someone, Dong Xue had already reported every single word to the Old Ancestor.

Therefore, when the Old Ancestor thought about the relationship between her and the Imperial Physician Situ, he completely stopped doubting the Imperial Physician Wang.

Jin Lan mulled over it bit by bit, but he didn't dare think for too long. He followed Imperial Physician Wang's instructions, increased and decreased as he revealed the intentions of the Imperial Physician Situ, "It's called an illness that's not enough from the womb. Coupled with Lan Er's previous experiences with the water, the cold poison entering his body will be even more difficult to remove. "As such, he prescribed a formula to recuperate and made more pills. As he ate day in and day out, he looked a little better."

Madame Chen listened attentively. After Jin Lan finished speaking, he said with some guilt: "It's my fault. I just thought that your Lan Hall branch had been living in Jiangnan ever since they split up. It's been so many years since I last had a good walk around. I've never even seen you except for the ceremony you gave me back then. I've always thought about you ever since you were born. It just so happened that your grandmother came to the capital early in the year and mentioned you two sisters, so I got the idea and told you to come to the capital. " Sighing, he continued, "I didn't expect it to harm your body."

What a grand reason. If she hadn't known the truth long ago, she might have believed it. But now, the Old Ancestor's deep love for him only made Jin Lan feel cold teeth.

However, she still had to do what she had to do. She revealed a panicked look on her face and said: "Old Ancestor, if you are talking about this, then be filial to the Old Ancestor. This is something Lan Er will take care of.

"Good child, the Old Ancestor did not love you for nothing." Madame Chen seemed to have been moved by Jin Lan's explanation, and hugged her in his arms, exclaiming: "However, you don't have to worry, although Imperial Physician Situ's medical skills are outstanding, in the end, he is still inferior to the Hua family's descendant. Old Ancestor has personally invited Old Imperial Physician Hua to help support your pulse, at that time, you will definitely be able to return to Yangzhou safely."

Were they really planning to enter the palace? Jin Lan nestled into the Old Ancestor's embrace, her mind quickly turning, and only after a while did she get up and take care of it. A look of pleasant surprise surfaced on her face, but with some hesitation, she said: "What ability does Lan Er have to have Old Ancestor toil like this, before going to the capital, Mother requested Imperial Physician Situ to prepare three medicinal pellets for Lan Er to bring along, saying that it would coincidentally allow him to eat it back Yangzhou. Furthermore, with the help of the Imperial Physician Wang's medicine, Lan Er has been feeling much better these past few days. "

Then, as if he was thinking about something, he paused for a while and continued, "For Lan Er, it is as cold as ice and as cold as winter. If others were to find out, they would definitely think that Lan Er is extravagant, and ignore the body of the Old Ancestor, and tormented him endlessly. Then, Lan Er will become a sinner. "

The Old Ancestor did not truly say the word 'enter the palace', and she could not say it either. Otherwise, this place would become completely devoid of money. She indirectly admitted to the Old Ancestor that she knew everything, and that the Old Ancestor might not have a falling out. Without this cover, she would be at a disadvantage if they fought recklessly.

Madame Chen was not surprised that Jin Lan would say that. She wiped the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief and sighed: "Child, you're just kind. You only know how to think for others, why aren't you planning for yourself?"

Jin Lan smiled bashfully, but didn't reply. At this moment, whatever she said wasn't appropriate at all. It was better to pretend to be shy.

Madame Chen patted Jin Lan's back, his kind eyes seemingly sweeping across Mama Wu who was standing at the side.

The Mama Wu understood and immediately went up to pour tea for the Old Ancestor, and laughed as she interrupted: "This servant's mouth is weak, I cannot say anything, I only think that the Old Ancestor should cherish Lady Jin Lan who is kind and beautiful."

The corners of Madame Chen's eyes were full of smiles as she said angrily on purpose: "How am I not pitying Girl Lan?"

Jin Lan also lowered her eyes to cover her smile, but her heart sank to the bottom. She purposely mentioned the matter of her mother asking for medicine before her departure, and then mentioned her filial piety as a junior who didn't want her elders to toil around with it. She suppressed her words to prevent the Old Ancestor from bringing it up any further.

But in the end, Mama Wu's next sentence was easily and delicately tossed over.

"Aiya, it was this servant's fault, this servant should have hit you." The Mama Wu raised her hand and lightly slapped her face twice, causing the Old Ancestor to laugh heartily and point at her, "You, you …" She kept sighing and the atmosphere in the room became a lot more relaxed.

Mama Wu laughed and said a few good words before returning to her original spot and silently looked at Jin Lan. When she looked into Jin Lan's clear eyes, she suddenly felt that the light was at her back.

She pursed her lips. Although this Jinlan girl in front of her was young, her thoughts were much more astute than any other girl in the mansion. She had served the Old Ancestor for so many years, but she had never seen anyone who could make him so hard to deal with. If it were any other young lady, they would have long been overwhelmed by this honor and knelt down in gratitude when they heard that the Old Ancestor had personally invited the Hua Clan's Sacred Hand to treat them.

However, Lady Jin Lan … Mama Wu secretly sized up the girl again. Her soft and harmless face made her heart throb uncontrollably.

"Girl Lan." After the Madame Chen finished laughing, she picked up the new cup of hot tea poured by the Mama Wu, took a sip, and then placed the cup down. Her face became more serious, "In two days, I will be going to the palace, at that time you can accompany me. I am here for your body and also for your mother. "

Mother? Jin Lan was stunned, then suddenly recalled that the Mama Wu had said that the Old Ancestor requested the Old Imperial Physician Hua to prescribe medicine for his mother.

She did not reply, and Madame Chen did not need her to reply either. She continued to speak: "There are still two days left, Mama Shang will teach you about the palace's rules. When you enter the palace, do not panic."

Although the Old Ancestor's voice was gentle, it caused Jin Lan to feel a chill. She knew that this time, she could not avoid it no matter what. Just like what happened in Shang Jing before, a heavenly favor had fallen on her and she had no choice but to accept it. Besides, this involved her mother. Even if it wasn't for her own sake, it was for her mother as well.

Otherwise, why would he talk about filial piety when he didn't even have the heart to ask for medicine for his mother? In this way, the words that had come out of his mouth just now for the sake of the old ancestor immediately became a resounding slap in her face.

She took a deep breath, steadied her trembling legs, stood up and bowed to the Old Ancestor. Then she replied in a low voice, "Yes, Lan Er will follow the Old Ancestor's instructions."

Madame Chen nodded her head in satisfaction, then waved her hand: "Alright, it's rare that you have the heart to accompany this old granny, taking advantage of the bright sun to quickly return, if it's not too late, if you catch a chill, then it'll be this old granny's fault."

Jin Lan tried his best to ignore the old ancestor's meaningful gaze and retreated.

These words seemed to be referring to something, completely blocking her last path of retreat.
