C166

The Yunxiu House was located in the west corner of the Ye Mansion, which was more than half a garden away from Jin Lan's Lan Garden.

Jin Lan brought along the Mama Tang, and went down the corridor. They then went across the bridge over the lotus pond. Under the jade-green water, many palm-sized fishes happily swam their tails, swimming extremely happily.

She only glanced at it once before withdrawing her gaze and continuing to walk.

After the bridge is a tree-lined path, on both sides of a row of evergreen camphor trees.

At the beginning of April, when the camphor tree blossomed, a faint fragrance entered his nose as soon as Jin Lan set foot on the cobblestone path. Unlike the orchid and cinnamon, this fragrance was like the morning mist that permeated the mountain.

A cool breeze blew past. Occasionally, a few yellow-green, conical flower grains would float down from the branches and land in her hair. It was a rare type of natural hair ornament.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, the end of the cobblestone path was already right before his eyes, and the end of the path was precisely Yunxiu House.

Jin Lan was neither fast nor slow, but just as he was about to approach the Yunxiu House, he saw two figures standing in front of the gate of the courtyard.

She was wondering who that person was when she noticed two figures moving towards her direction.

It only took a moment for Jin Lan to see the person's face clearly. It was indeed an acquaintance.

"I didn't expect to meet Aunt Yan here." Jin Lan's eyes flickered, a faint smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

Ever since Yan Rong was carried into the palace by the old lady, other than Jia Yu Xuan who was serving the old lady, she usually did not step out of the door at all and only waited for Ye Lin in her courtyard. Why did she suddenly appear in front of the Yunxiu House?

"Second Miss." Yan Rong walked over, bent her knees in greeting, raised her head and smiled: "This servant has followed the orders of the old lady, and specifically came to visit First Miss." After pausing for a moment, she continued in a soft voice, "The old lady had me deliver a copy of 'Woman's Ring' and 'Internal Training' to First Miss."

Jin Lan could hear a hint of intimacy in these words.

Her eyebrows were like the crescent moon, and her voice was soft like the spring wind. "I wonder what big sister is doing now?"

Yan Rong pursed her lips and smiled, she looked at Jin Lan seriously, "First Miss is currently reading the book sent by the old lady, I don't have the time to entertain Second Miss, how about Second Miss come back later?"

Jin Lan's heart was moved, he looked carefully at Yan Rong, only to see that her eyes were filled with sincerity.

Ye Jinwei had just been grounded by Ye Lin and the old lady had even sent him a < Female Ring > and a < Internal Training >. It was obvious that she wanted to copy her book.

Probably, Ye Jinwei was raging in the house right now!

"Thank you, Aunt Yan, for your advice." "Even if you didn't come, you still came. If you didn't go in to meet big sister, wouldn't that be disrespectful?"

Seeing Jin Lan nod, Yan Rong's smile revealed once again, "Since that's the case, then this servant will not delay Second Miss any further, the old lady is waiting for this servant to reply."

"Aunt, take care. As for Grandmother's side, I'll have to trouble you to help Jin Lan by saying that Jin Lan has seen elder sister and will pay respects to Grandmother." Jin Lan lowered her eyes and laughed, there were very few things that could be hidden from the old lady in this house, if she went into Ye Jinwei's house, it would cause a huge commotion, and if she let the servants report it, it would be better for her to be honest with them.

Yan Rong looked at Jin Lan deeply, "Alright, this servant will definitely carry out Second Miss's words." With that said, she got lucky, brought along the maidservants and Jin Lan who were following behind him, and walked towards the Jiayu Hall.

Jin Lan stood in place until Yan Rong's figure gradually disappeared into the shadows of the small alley. Then, he withdrew his distant gaze, turned around, and continued walking toward the Yunxiu House.

Mama Tang followed behind her, her face full of hesitation. After hesitating for a while, she finally spoke out. "Miss, Aunt Yan, she …" Mama Tang didn't know how to express the thoughts in her heart for a moment. She had actually heard a trace of flattery from Yan Rong's words just now!

"Mama doesn't need to think about it too much." Jin Lan didn't even turn his head around, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the Yunxiu House that was getting closer and closer, "Since she's expressing her goodwill, then I'll just accept her. Why do you have to keep her out?"

What happened yesterday at the Jiayu Hall caused the old lady to dislike her. Yan Rong's good intentions was definitely not from the old lady, so it could only be her own thoughts and decisions.

Regardless of why Yan Rong expressed goodwill to her, as long as she maintained her vigilance, she would not be tricked!

As for the old lady, she really needed someone who could speak for her. That way, she wouldn't be blinded by the old lady's thoughts.

Yan Rong was undoubtedly a good choice.

Of course, the prerequisite is that she shouldn't have any thoughts of her mother, otherwise …

Jin Lan took a deep breath as a terrifying coldness flashed in his eyes.

Yunxiu House's gatekeeper was sitting on the stone block in front of the door, basking in the sunlight out of boredom. Seeing Jin Lan coming over, she hurriedly got up and bowed, "Second Miss An!"

"Mama, no need to be so polite, quickly get up!" Jin Lan laughed, and then turned to look at Mama Tang.

The Mama Tang took out a few copper coins from her bag and placed it in the hands of the old gatekeeper.

That old woman was naturally beaming with happiness and kept bowing with her hands folded in front.

After entering the courtyard, Jin Lan did not go straight to Ye Jinwei's room, but first he went to the west wing. The door was tightly locked, and other than Little Maid who was working outside, there was no one else.

Ye Jinxian was not in the house, and Jin Lan frowned, but she quickly relaxed and turned to the east wing. Before she could even go upstairs, she heard a wave of noise.

After staying in the capital for such a long time, Ye Jinwei's personality had not changed one bit.

Mama Tang looked up, and seeing that Jin Lan had stepped onto the stairs, he quickly advised: "Miss, how about we do as Aunt Yan said, and come back later?" She was really worried, what if First Miss accidentally hurt the young lady in one breath?

Jin Lan shook his head and climbed the stairs step by step.

Seeing that, Mama Tang followed closely behind, ready to protect her from behind at any time.

As soon as he went upstairs, Jin Lan ran into the maidservant, Qing Juan, who was guarding the door.

Qing Juan obviously did not expect Jin Lan to come at this moment. With a panicked expression, she quickly curtsied and called out, "Second Miss."

As the clear voice sounded, the noise in the room instantly quieted, as if it had never appeared before.

Jin Lan smiled faintly. He glanced at his squatting body with his head lowered and lowered his eyebrows. He then said lightly, "Stand up."

"Thank you, Second Miss." Qing Juan stood up, but remained standing where she was, blocking Jin Lan's path.

Jin Lan raised his eyebrows, but just as he was about to speak, Ye Jinwei's angry scream came out from the house, "Ye Jin Lan, there's no need to be so merciful, you want to watch me make a joke? I tell you, dream! Scram! Get lost! Get lost! "

"Two, Second Miss." Hearing Ye Jinwei's angry voice, Qing Juan's face turned deathly white. She looked at Jin Lan who looked like he was about to cry, "I beg Second Miss to come back tomorrow!"

"If big sister continues to cause trouble, isn't she the one who will suffer?" Compared to Qingjuan, Jin Lan felt a wave of anger that was hard to explain. He immediately bypassed Qingjuan's obstruction, ignored Ye Jinwei's curses, lifted the curtain and entered the house.

Ye Jinwei was sitting on the soft couch, both of her eyes were swollen like walnuts, the exquisite makeup on her face had long been melted away by her tears, adding the handkerchief, it stuck on her face, covering it completely, making her look extremely miserable.

The floor was littered with broken pieces of porcelain. Some of them could be vaguely identified as vases, tea cups, etc. Some of them were almost crushed into powder. One could not even tell what they were.

Si Ling and Qian Yun who were guarding the soft couch saw Jin Lan entering the room and immediately blessed themselves.

"Who allowed you to come in? Get out! " Ye Jinwei glared at Jin Lan fiercely, as if he wanted to pounce on her and tear her apart.

Jin Lan seemed to not have heard Ye Jinwei's resentment, he carefully walked to the side, found a clean small Wu Dan and sat down, then looked at Si Ling and Qian Yun, "Hurry and clean up the broken pieces on the ground, if you harm big sister, who can take it?"

Si Ling and Qian Yun were stunned. The two of them looked at each other and quickly cleaned up the mess on the ground as Jin Lan had ordered.

Unexpectedly, this scene pierced Ye Jinwei's heart, his pair of scarlet eyes suddenly widened until they were round, and she casually grabbed the pillow on the bed, fiercely smashing it towards the two servant girls, "Who allowed you to take care of those lowly hooves that eat inside and outside? "No one is allowed to clean up!"

The two maidservants' movements froze and slowed down, but they did not stop.

Seeing that, Ye Jinwei's heart was burning with anger, she stood up and was about to rush over to take care of them.

"Big sister, what are you doing?" The smile on Jin Lan's face faded bit by bit, and he looked at Ye Jinwei with clear and cold eyes, "Big sister wants to make the old woman and father disappointed?"

Ye Jinwei's body froze, she was not an idiot, she knew what would happen if her father and mother were to disappoint her, but she was not willing to accept the honor, so she said coldly: "This is my house, they are my servants, whatever she wants to do, I will decide, so there is no need for you to worry!" Saying that, he turned to the two maidservants and scolded, "What are you doing? Hurry up and clean up! "

Jin Lan smiled faintly. When he was done tidying up the floor, he added, "Go get some hot water to clean up Big Sister's face. If by any chance the old lady comes all of a sudden and sees Big Sister's appearance, someone will be sent a copy of the" Female Classic ".

"You …" Ye Jinwei was like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, she was so angry that her face turned red but she was stumped for words, but she was afraid of what Jin Lan said, hence she anxiously looked towards the window, and urged Si Ling to get some water.

After Si Ling finished preparing the cleaning and cleaning items, she glared at Jin Lan who was sitting at the side. With a cold snort, she turned and entered the house.

Si Ling hurried in to serve her, while Qian Yun quickly cleaned up the broken pieces on the floor and exited. In a while, she had brewed some tea and brought it over.

Jin Lan did not touch the tea that Qian Yun served, but sat quietly.

She did not come here to comfort Ye Jinwei.

He could still clearly see the scene before her death in his previous life. Even though Ye Jinwei was no longer able to use fraternal affection to gain trust from her, even if Concubine Shao was already reaping the consequences for herself, she was still unable to truly let go of the hatred and hatred in her heart.

That kind of heart-wrenching pain, without personally experiencing it, was indescribable.

She was not a saint and could not be forgiven for her forbearance.

Therefore, she still hated these people.

Jin Lan raised his eyes and looked into the inner room. Behind the slightly swaying bead curtain, he could faintly see the figures of people inside.

Furthermore, Ye Jinwei and Concubine Shao were the same, jackals who were not fully fed.

Mother was the best example. She would never repeat the same mistake!

After waiting for close to half a cup of tea's worth of time, Ye Jinwei finished washing up and changed her clothes before returning to the outer room. She walked to the soft couch and sat down, took two sips, her gaze coldly staring at Jin Lan.

"Sister's personality is always so impatient." Jin Lan seemed to be unable to see the hatred in Ye Jinwei's eyes, his face still had a faint smile, but his tone dropped slightly, "Could it be that elder sister is not suspicious, why have I fallen to such a state?"
