Jin Lan and the Madame SHen looked at each other, squeezed Madame SHen's ice-cold hand a little, and then got up to welcome him.

Madame SHen looked at his daughter's slim but straight back, his heart felt like it was pierced, the corners of her mouth moved, she wanted to say something but stopped, in the end she decided to hide, and laid back down on the bed according to his daughter's wish.

Wan Ju and Bi He who were at the side followed closely behind Jin Lan, and Mama Zhu took two steps forward. After hesitating for a moment, she retreated back and put down the cloth she had lifted, quietly guarding beside Madame SHen's bed.

The Old Madame Ye received Hui Xiu's message, she did not dare delay at all, she did not even have time to prepare the Soft Palanquin, and immediately went to the Shuixie Pavilion with the help of the Mama Wu and Yan Rong.

As soon as she entered, she quickly scanned her surroundings, but didn't see anyone. Her face immediately darkened, and just as she was about to shout out, she saw that the bead curtain in the room shook and a slender figure came out to welcome her.

"Grandmother." The moment Jin Lan stepped out of the room, a charming smile appeared on his face.

Without waiting for Old Madame Ye to react, she directly opened her mouth and said: "Lan Er has just returned home. I originally wanted to meet mother and paid respects to grandmother, but who would have thought that just as I was about to leave, Concubine Shao would coincidentally come to pay respects to mother."

If he waited for the old lady to ask, he might as well take the initiative to tell him the truth. He might as well say something first, the clever mouth of the Concubine Shao was always a powerful one, adding to that round stomach, perhaps the old lady was spurred on by her flowery words, and the black became white.

Jin Lan continued to ponder, "Although the Bright Autumn Pavilion is not far from the Shuixie Pavilion, there is still a distance. Lan Er is still young and doesn't know what's going on. Thus, she hurriedly sent Qiu Wen to get a doctor, and also got Big Sister Hui Xiu to invite Grandmother over here to make the decision. "

Old Madame Ye's face relaxed, and revealed a look of surprise, but she was still worried about Concubine Shao's stomach, and asked: "Where is Concubine Shao?"

Mama Shang had long heard the commotion, and was waiting at the side. When she heard Old Madame Ye's question, she walked over and said: "Old granny, there are too many people watching from the outside. This servant and Su Xin have already helped Concubine Shao to place him on the green bed."

When Old Madame Ye saw Mama Shang, a glint flashed past her eyes, but she did not say much. She nodded and let the doctor, who went into the house with her, help support Concubine Shao's pulse.

Jin Lan pondered as he saw this.

The Bright Autumn Pavilion s were one in the south and one in the west. There was even a large half of the garden between them, yet the old lady had entered the house together with the doctors who lived near the Bright Autumn Pavilion.

This was sufficient to show that the Old Granny did not have complete trust in the Concubine Shao.

He narrowed his eyes and pulled her small hand as he said with a face full of love, "Just now, I heard from my servant that it was you who entered the residence, and they even thought that I was thinking highly of you when I saw you, making a ruckus. I never thought that you would really come back."

Upon hearing Old Madame Ye's words, Jin Lan blinked her eyes, smiled, and then said in a soft voice: "The Old Ancestor received my father's letter and found out that mother was very ill, so she decided to send Lan Er back."

Old Madame Ye raised her eyes and looked at Jin Lan. Seeing that her already thin face had shrunk quite a bit, she knew that the bumpy journey was not easy, and that she was still the grandson and daughter who cared for her. She sat him down and couldn't help but ruffle her thick and smooth hair, saying: "Since we're back home, why don't you come and see Grandmother? Don't tell me you dislike this old woman? "

Jin Lan took the opportunity to cuddle into the Old Madame Ye's embrace, and spoke in a tender voice: "Lan Er is always thinking about Grandmother, she really wants to pay respects to Grandmother with Jiayu Hall the moment she enters the residence!" As he said that, he sat up with a worried look on his face, "I heard from Sister Man Ping that Mother's body is getting weaker and weaker, until today, she is already bedridden."

Your mother has never been well," she said with a sigh. "When winter comes, she becomes even more ill." She stopped talking and looked up at Yan Rong, who was by the side with her head lowered. "Go and take a look. Madam, you must be feeling a bit uncomfortable. Hurry up and send someone to get a doctor.

"Yes." Yan Rong kneeled down and replied, and then lightly walked inside.

It was as if Jin Lan had unwittingly glanced at her, but unexpectedly discovered that Yan Rong had combed a simple bun. Her originally loose hair was completely tied up, and a Qing Yu hairpin was stuck at her temples.

This … this was a plate made by the woman!

Yan Rong was an unmarried girl, how could she have fallen for him?

Could it be that the Old Ancestor had already betrothed her to someone while they were still in Shang Jing?

In the instant that Jin Lan was stunned, Yan Rong's figure disappeared behind the bead curtain, and she could only force herself to retract her gaze. With Mama Zhu guarding inside, Yan Rong didn't dare think too much about it.

Once Yan Rong left, Hui Xiu served tea with her hind legs. The ancestor and grandson carried the tea cup and chatted for a bit, and then the doctor who helped channel the Concubine Shao came out from the jade screen, along with Su Xin, who was serving beside the Concubine Shao.

"Aunt's mind was in a state of upheaval and panic, which was why she was able to use her womb's energy. Fortunately, she was well-rested every day, so it wasn't too bad. She just needed to rest for a while, and after drinking a few more Tieba pills, she would be fine." Doctor Pang gave Old Madame Ye a respectful salute and, without waiting for him to ask, told him about the situation there.

Old Madame Ye frowned, she looked at Su Xin who had her head bowed down, "Everything is fine, why are you so anxious?"

"Grandmother." Jin Lan placed the teacup in her hand on the table, her small face, which was the size of a palm, was filled with regret, "Speaking of which, it's Lan Er's fault. Concubine Shao was worried about Big Sister, so she asked her a few more questions, and it was only then that Lan Er mentioned that Big Sister became fond of the Old Ancestor and was left in Beijing for a while longer. Perhaps it was because Aunt was worried about Big Sister that … It's all Lan Er's fault. " She got up and knelt down.

"Girl Lan, what are you doing? Hurry and get up! " Old Madame Ye hurriedly reached out to help Jin Lan up, yet she looked at Su Xin and asked with a deep voice: "Is that so?"

Su Xin slightly raised his head, quickly took a glance at Jin Lan, and then bowed his head as she replied in a low voice, "Yes."

A trace of surprise flashed past Jin Lan's eyes. She thought that it would take more effort to explain, but she did not expect Su Xin to actually agree.

Thinking about that, she couldn't help but frown. Could it be that Concubine Shao had thought of something?

Compared to Jin Lan's doubt, Old Madame Ye's face sank. Her cane heavily hit the limestone floor as she coldly snorted: "All of you are worried for nothing!"

These words were obviously not only referring to the Concubine Shao, but Jin Lan did not care at all, sitting obediently at the side without lifting his head.

Seeing that the Old Madame Ye had been angered, the Mama Wu hurriedly patted her chest and comforted her in a small voice: "It's a good thing that you're fine, the most important thing right now is to take care of the young master."

The underlying meaning of his words was to remind Old Madame Ye that Shuixie Pavilion was his wife's courtyard. It was against the rules to leave Concubine Shao here. Furthermore, with his wife lying on the bed, perhaps she would attack the Concubine Shao's expensive stomach.

Old Madame Ye nodded and looked at the giant man: "Is it appropriate to move now?"

Her husband was Old Madame Ye's trusted aide, how could he not know what she was thinking? He thought for a moment, then said: "Normally speaking, staying here is the best, but if you want to move it, it is not impossible. Get someone to prepare the Soft Palanquin, and we can lift it steadily."

When the Mama Wu heard this, she looked at the Old Madame Ye and saw her nodding her head.

It was probably because of Old Madame Ye's orders, that the sedan arrived quickly, and the four women carrying the sedan were all around the size of a shoulder.

He did not know what Su Xin said to the Concubine Shao after she entered the room, but when she was supported by the servants out of the room and fiercely glared at Jin Lan, she did not say a word.

Jin Lan did not want to cause unnecessary trouble, so he simply ignored the Concubine Shao's sharp knife and continued to chat with him.

Only when the house gradually quietened down did Yan Rong return to the outer room.

Seemingly, Old Madame Ye didn't want to speak anymore in front of Jin Lan, after exhorting a few words, she was supported by Yan Rong, and left the Shuixie Pavilion to return back to the Jiayu Hall. From start to finish, she did not even take a single glance at Madame SHen.

After the Old Madame Ye and the others left, Jin Lan finally let go of his worry of staying in the air. He slowly heaved a sigh of relief, gave Wan Ju a meaningful glance, then turned and entered the house.

Wan Ju had followed Jin Lan for so many years, and she also had her trust, that the two master and servant had long ago developed an extraordinary tacit understanding. Receiving Jin Lan's gaze, she immediately understood in her heart, and after rummaging for a reason, she stepped out of the Shuixie Pavilion, following the direction that Old Madame Ye and the rest had left in, carefully following them.

Although Madame SHen was lying on the bed, her heart was in turmoil. She had been listening intently to the outside, afraid that Old Madame Ye would make things difficult for him.

When the room was silent, she suddenly lifted the curtain. Just as she raised her eyes, she saw a white lotus arm passing through the bead curtain. Then, she raised it. Who else could it be if not Jin Lan?

"Lan Er!" Madame SHen nervously looked at Jin Lan from head to toe. Seeing that she was safe and sound, a heavy burden was lifted from his heart. He gently waved his hand and said: "Come quickly, let me take a look. Are you alright?"

"It's fine. Mother, don't worry." He quickly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. Holding the hand extended by Madame SHen, he chuckled: "It's just a false alarm.

"How am I afraid of those long-tongued women?" Madame SHen sat up under the support of the Mama Zhu and leaned against the headboard. She lightly patted the tender little hands in her palms and sized up Jin Lan before saying: "You can't be rash anymore. If you anger the old lady, even your father won't be able to protect you."

Jin Lan looked at the care and concern in his mother's heart, and couldn't help but feel sore in his heart, but he nodded cutely on the surface, "Lan Er understands."

"Mother knows what you are thinking, but you are still young, so it is not appropriate for you to take part in some matters, lest it ruin your good name." Knowing a daughter but not a mother, how could the Madame SHen not see through Jin Lan's perfunctory attitude? She only looked at this delicate little face, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in her heart.

It was unknown when, but this petite person was no longer a little girl that needed her protection.

Just as the mother and daughter were talking, Man Ping had led the Doctor Gong into the Shuixie Pavilion, and on the way there, she had already informed the Doctor Gong about Jin Lan's return. As a result, when Doctor Gong saw Jin Lan, he was not surprised. Instead, he revealed a rare smile.

The group of people did not talk much, the Doctor Gong raised his hand and started to support the Madame SHen, following that, he gently pressed down with his fingertips, and the smile on her face slowly faded.

Jin Lan's heart leaped into his throat.
