Looking from afar, Xia Weilan was wearing a cyan colored skirt, with large numbers of lotus flowers embroidered on it. Even though she was young, her unrivaled beauty could already be seen.

After a short while, Xia Weilan made a detour to the surroundings and arrived at the living quarters of the Old Mistress. There, he saw that there were about five maidservant s busy outside, each taking their own things, but when they saw Xia Weilan bowing and ignoring her, she understood in her heart, but did not say anything.

Before she could even enter the door, Xia Weilan saw a servant girl looking around. She could not help but sneer in her heart, it was normal for her not to know other maidservant, but this servant girl was the most capable maidservant by Xia Yuying's side, Pei'er.

The two of them looked at each other not too far away. When Pu'er saw Xia Weilan, she immediately became spirited, and without waiting for anything, she rushed into the house.

Xia Weilan understood in her heart, she was just busy enough to inform her master of the news.

The Old Mistress was the most senior person in the entire Hou Mansion. Although they usually didn't treat others well, no one dared to disobey them. They were all very respectful, or else they would be disgraced.

"Miss, this place is really big." Yue Er looked around at everything with a bit of envy.

Xia Weilan held Yue Er's hand with a cold expression. Without replying to her words, she slowly walked forward, as though she was pondering about something.

"Granddaughter greets Grandmother, I hope that Grandmother's health is good, and that she is well." Xia Weilan walked into the house slowly. She scanned the arrangements around him and sneered in his heart. It's the same as before. Although she thought like this in his heart, she didn't show it on the surface. She was respectful as always, and her tone was gentle.

"Get up." A hoarse voice came out, only then did Xia Weilan get up, and found a place to sit.

Looking at the old man in the lead, one could tell with one glance that he was worth a lot, but his appearance was very red and green, which made people feel a little uncomfortable. He had a face full of wrinkles, a head full of hair that was combed meticulously, and his cloudy eyes revealed a bit of shrewdness and calculation.

And the person who stood beside her, was Xia Yuying.

When Xia Weilan's gaze swept across her, she saw that Xia Yuying's chin was slightly raised and her eyes were filled with complacency.

Xia Weilan's eyes also only swept across them once, and then she shifted her gaze to the Old Mistress at the head of the group.

"A few days ago, my granddaughter wasn't feeling well, so I wasn't able to come to see Grandmother. Now that I'm better, I was just about to come see Grandmother, when Grandmother sent my granddaughter over. Xia Weilan said softly and gently as he waved his hand.

Yue Er, who was beside him, held onto the bright colored silk cloth with both hands and slowly walked to Old Mistress Xia's side. Old Mistress's eyes were fixated on the silk cloth, and impatiently wanted to stroke it.

However, since there was someone present, if he were to rush over, wouldn't that mean that there was no regard for him. Therefore, he could only restrain the thoughts in his heart.

Seeing her as a expression, Xia Weilan did not know how he felt in his heart. Why people always have to be like this, the whole family would never be peaceful, if you plan against me, I plan against you.

In her previous life, she had been bullied by the Old Mistress many times, but only because her mother's family was well-known.

"Grandmother, do you still like it?" Xia Weilan knew what she was thinking at the moment, and opened her mouth to speak.

Old Mistress Xia's eyes were almost narrowed into slits. She smiled and nodded, then waved towards maidservant who was below them. maidservant quickly stepped forward and got onto the silk cloth.

"Good, good, good. This is truly excellent. Quickly, call the people to put it away." Old Mistress Xia looked greedily at the newly arrived Suzhou silk cloth. She extended his withered hand and continuously caressed it, gently, silkily, as if a cool feeling was transmitted from his hand to her heart.

Xia Yuying was pleased for a moment, but seeing that Xia Weilan was offering such a good item, she wanted to reach out and touch it, but before she could even take a good look, she heard Old Mistress Xia telling her people to keep the silk.

Only then did she come back to her senses. She couldn't help but recall what happened a few days ago.

"Grandmother, don't forget!" She whispered to Old Mistress Xia in a low voice, and then she stood up, looking at Xia Weilan with eyes full of satisfaction. This time, no matter what, she could not escape.

Xia Weilan chose to ignore this kind of gaze. Stupid women are stupid no matter what.

Originally, Old Mistress Xia was blinded by the silk fabric, but now that Xia Yuying had reminded him, the smile on her face immediately disappeared, and she looked straight at Xia Weilan's head.

There was only a single piece of jewelry on Xia Weilan's head. The zucchini was gorgeous and dazzling, and there was even a gem embedded on it. The side was carved with gold, it was beautiful, but not demonic.

Old Mistress Xia thought for a while. As expected of a royal family's treasure.

"Weilan, Grandmother has not seen you for the past few days. She really misses you. Come quickly, let me take a look." Old Mistress Xia looked kind, her tone was warm, and smiled as she waved at Xia Weilan.

This shout caused Xia Weilan's stomach to churn, almost pulling out the food she ate last night. However, she could only suppress the uneasiness in her stomach, and lightly laughed as she got up, walking towards the front.

Just as she stepped forward, Xia Weilan's hand was grabbed by the Old Mistress Xia. She subconsciously wanted to pull back, but in that instant, she reacted, as she looked at the old man in front of her.

"Look at this small hand. Why is it so cold? Was it because I wasn't covered with a blanket last night?" Old Mistress Xia's withered hand kept stroking Xia Weilan's hand, but her eyes kept looking at Xia Weilan's head.

"Thank you, Grandmother, for your concern yesterday, Xiaolan …" Xia Weilan wanted to say something but hesitated. From time to time, his gaze turned to Xia Yuying who was beside Old Mistress Xia.
