Second Miss was spoiled in front of the old lady!

When it came to Second Miss, who in the entire Palace didn't know that other than the Old Granny, the Old Master, and the Madam, the only honest and proper master had always been the center of attention for the Old Granny? Who would have thought that there would also be a day when he lost his power?

It was likely that Second Miss had secretly done something bad, causing the Old Granny to be angry.

For a time, all kinds of small news spread throughout the mansion. Of course, it was only between the maidservants. After all, the previous lesson was engraved in their hearts, so who would dare to brazenly announce it?

"Miss, the maids and wives in this mansion are too presumptuous these days!" In the early morning, Mu Lan's stomach was filled with anger. When she went into the kitchen to fetch the hot water, she accidentally heard a few Female Cook s and maidservants mumbling to themselves.

In regards to Mu Lan's indignation, she only smiled faintly: "The mouth will grow on others, whatever you want to say will be up to them, let us clear our own hearts of the shame."

"But …" Mu Lan pouted her lips, "It's true that young lady did not personally hear it, but the words of those people are really unpleasant to listen to."

"Alright!" "Early in the morning, don't let these bad thoughts stain the girl's ears." The Mama Tang glared at Mu Lan with feigned anger, she extended her hand and fiddled with the yellow copper bowl for a while, then took off the white cloth covering at the water temperature, waiting for Jin Lan to wash up, while she ordered her: Quickly go and check if breakfast is ready, the young lady still has to go greet the wife, don't delay our time.

Mu Lan shrunk her neck and quickly replied and left the room.

After washing her hair, Mama Tang skillfully combed the thick and smooth black hair into her temples. She took out a Seven Treasures Exquisite hairpin and inserted it into his hair, and affixed a few peach flowers the size of a fingernail on the side, adding them onto his Heavenly Water Jade Lunisolar Dress. It made her seem even more beautiful and refined, just that the lump of light green in front of her looked a bit worse for life.

Mama Tang put down the ivory brush in her hand and could not help but sigh. She advised sincerely: "Why does Miss have to worry about those things? Furthermore, the Old Granny allowed the young lady to live in the Jiayu Hall, so wasn't that the best proof? In the future, all of those rumors will collapse on their own! "

"Mama is overthinking it." Jin Lan looked at the tiny face in the mirror. Her skin was white and lustrous, her eyes were clear like water, her nose was small and straight, and her lips were pink and tender. Although the current Wu Qing had made her look more haggard, the smile on her face was still gentle and tranquil.

Although she had not been able to sleep soundly these past few days, she had remembered that her mother had cured her of her poison and had nothing to do with these so-called rumors.

Perhaps others might not know, but she was well aware that with the Old Granny's character and methods, not to mention gossip, even if it was just a few words, as long as she dared to reveal even the slightest bit of it, she would be completely destroyed.

The old lady was not as benevolent as her mother. A trace of coldness flashed across Jin Lan's eyes. The fact that there were rumors flying all over the place was most likely because the old lady was doing it on purpose to force her to lower her head.

If it was in the past, she might have compromised. But now …

Jin Lan pursed his lips, raising his eyes to look at Mama Tang, "What time is it now?"

"It's the beginning of the end." Mama Tang arranged the marriage mirror and then turned around to tidy up the bed. Hearing Jin Lan's question, he paused for a moment, "Miss, do you need to go to the main house today to get well?"

"Go, why not?" Jin Lan burst out into a smile. No matter how noisy the mansion was, as long as she kept her manners, what could others do to her? Even if the old lady had something in her heart, she would not be so sure of the truth.

In other words, even if the old lady really hated herself, she would only be able to live a little longer in the future.

In the end, she was still the direct descendant of Ye Mansion. If her reputation was bad, the first one to be implicated would be Ye Lin, how could the shrewd old lady allow this to happen?

Jin Lan stood up and prepared to head for the main house after lazily drinking half a bowl of Jade Ginseng Porridge and eating two pieces of osmanthus cake. However, before she left, she took out the copper key that she kept close to her body and opened the box, carefully taking out the Agarwood Box that had been locked for several days and placing it in her sleeve just like before.

The reason she got Mama Tang to specially pick out a skirt today was so that she could take out the wooden box. As long as they didn't look carefully, they wouldn't normally find any clues.

As for the fragrance, Jin Lan's eyes roamed around as he glanced at the Dancing Jade Flower Lacquer, which was placed on top of the red lacquered plum blossoms, with a smile on his face.

Mama Tang and Mu Lan followed behind Jin Lan and headed towards the main house.

"Aunt Yan." The moment Jin Lan stepped onto the stairs, he happened to see Yan Rong coming out of the house. His eyes flashed with a trace of astonishment, but he still revealed a faint smile on his face.

"Second Miss." Yan Rong immediately bowed to Jin Lan, but even with her head lowered, it was difficult for her to hide the blush on her face.

Jin Lan's heart was moved. According to Mu Lan, Yan Rong was the one who served Ye Lin the year before, but she did not expect the old lady to suddenly bring her over as an aunt. She must have come here early in the morning to kowtow and thank the old lady.

A potbellied Concubine Shao and a childhood sweetheart Concubine Ning was not enough, and now there was an obviously restless Aunt Yan. The old lady was really afraid that her mother's days were going well, so she did her best to create trouble for her mother!

Jin Lan ridiculed in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He said with a faint smile, "Has Grandmother gotten up? I'll pay my respects to Grandmother. "

Seeing that she had taken two steps forward, Yan Rong suddenly regained her senses and quickly said: "The old lady didn't sleep well last night, and now she is resting again."

Still not seeing? Jin Lan sneered coldly in his heart, but his eyes were filled with surprise. "Grandmother's body isn't feeling good? Have you invited a doctor? "

"Yes, I've already invited you over." A hint of unease surfaced on Yan Rong's face, and he said embarrassedly: "How about Second Miss comes back later?"

Jin Lan looked deeply at Yan Rong, who was avoiding her gaze, and suddenly revealed a smile. "Since that's the case, I'll come over when Grandmother wakes up." With that, he turned and left.

It was not the first time, but it was just that the person who answered had changed from Pin Yue to Yan Rong.

In any case, she only did it for the sake of complete etiquette. Today was the day that Doctor Gong would enter the palace to support her veins, plus the wooden box hidden in her sleeve … It was also good for the old lady not to see him.

After leaving the main house, Jin Lan left the Jiayu Hall without even looking back. However, although she was anxious, she still walked with light steps towards the entrance of the Shuixie Pavilion along the way.

"Lan Er." Madame SHen was lying on the bed and talking to Doctor Gong. Seeing Jin Lan come in, his face revealed a happy look, and he could not help but wave: "Come to mother's place quickly."

It had been a few days since her daughter came to Shuixie Pavilion, but she knew it was because of the old lady. Therefore, she didn't blame Jin Lan in her heart, rather she felt sorry for her daughter, who had to shoulder such a heavy burden at such a young age.

"Mother." Jin Lan walked up quickly and pulled Madame SHen's hand to examine him closely. Perhaps it was because of Mama Zhu's care, although Madame SHen's face was still pale, but she looked much more spirited, allowing her worried heart to calm down. "Mother can eat breakfast now?"

"Yes, I did. Madam just used a bowl of bird's nest porridge." Man Ping smiled as she served the tea that she had brewed, and then quickly moved a small Wooden Pellet to the side of the bed for Doctor Gong.

Jin Lan stared at Man Ping's pretty face, and recalled Wen Zhu's reply a few days ago. On that day, Man Ping was indeed not at the Shuixie Pavilion, and it was unknown whether she was in another courtyard or out of the Palace.

In order to not worry her mother, she specifically ordered not to leak out the information, so she could not openly ask her mother about the matter, but she had sent people to investigate the alley that Mu Lan mentioned, hoping to find some clues.

Man Ping saw that Jin Lan was staring at him, and could not help but laugh: "Why does Miss keep staring at this servant? Could it be that there's something on this servant's face? "

"Nope." Jin Lan became serious, his eyes squinted into a half joking and half meaningful: "Sister Man Ping's face is not blooming, but she looks more and more like a flower."

Jin Lan's teasing caused Man Ping's face to immediately turn red, "Madam, what do you think Second Miss is saying?"

The Madame SHen smiled as she looked, "Lan Er is right, you are the one with the most experience in my house, and your hands are coincidentally the most skillful as well. It's about time to find a capable steward in the residence and set up some dowry, so you have served me well for so many years."

"Madam …" Man Ping lowered his head, the blush on his face had reached his ears.

Everyone thought it was because of shyness. Only Jin Lan, who had been keeping an eye on her, noticed the fleeting panic in her eyes.

This Man Ping, was most likely concealing something from her mother. A trace of coldness was added to Jin Lan's eyes.

"Alright, you can go now." Madame SHen laughed for a while, but seeing that she was extremely embarrassed, she spoke out to her.

Man Ping's heart was in a mess, she wished that she could leave as soon as possible. Hearing Madame SHen's words, she quickly replied and then left.

Jin Lan looked at her hurried back, then gave Mu Lan a meaningful glance. Mu Lan slightly nodded, and quietly followed her out of the house.

For a moment, only the mother and daughter duo were left in the room, along with the two Mama s, and Zhu Tang, who had been sitting quietly at the side.

"Mama." Jin Lan raised his head to look at Mama Tang, then looked at the opened door.

Mama Tang realized something and immediately closed the door, standing guard by the door.

Jin Lan's gaze swept across the room once, and after ensuring that all the doors and windows were closed, he looked at Doctor Gong wrongly, "I wonder if Doctor Gong has gathered all the medicinal ingredients for this recipe?"

Doctor Gong nodded, "Of course." As she said this, she gently placed the medicine box on the rosewood table, "Other than the medicine, I've already prepared the ingredients for the prescription according to the quantity. You can put in a jar of ointment anytime you want."

Jin Lan nodded slightly, her eyes filled with gratitude. She looked at Madame SHen and then slowly took out the wooden box hidden in her sleeves.

In that instant, a fragrant smell assaulted his nostrils.

Doctor Gong's pupils shrank as he stood up and stared at the wooden box in Jin Lan's hand in shock. "Agarwood? It was actually the Agarwood! "Could it be that the contents are …"

"That's right." Jin Lan solemnly nodded his head, then carefully placed the box on the side of the medicine box. "Inside the box is the medicine primer that mother wants, Snow Twig."
