C104

After leaving my mother's place, I took Lan Lan and the Green Bandits back to my own courtyard.

Along the way, the two maids had worried looks on their faces, but they couldn't speak bluntly to the servants beside them.

After entering the room, the two girls changed my clothes with a serious expression.

There had not been a time like this since Lu Ping had left.

I suddenly had a mischievous thought. Since the two girls thought that I had been wronged, why not go with the flow and tease them?

My face was dark, but my heart was bursting with joy.

The two maidservants saw my expression and thought that I had suffered at my mother's place. They became more careful and served me well. They took off their clothes in a single go, afraid that some mistake would anger me.

After changing into light and light clothes, the two maidservants followed me out from behind the screen. They opened their mouths a few times to ask me about what happened today, but in the end, they swallowed it back into their stomachs.

There was a greenhouse in my room, and since my nurse died in my study, the room has been sealed, and the pavilion has been made my study.

The letter that Miss Jiang wrote to me was from Xue Tao, and she praised it in my reply. Miss Jiang told her mother, the manager, to send a stack of letters to me.

I entered the pavilion and took out a piece of Xue Tao's note from the box on the bookshelf. I rolled up my sleeves and pondered on how I could ask Miss Jiang about the matter in my heart while slowly pushing the ink stick.

My mother had always disliked me being in contact with my grandmother, and she would never casually mention my future, but today she did not like it. Serving the elders was the duty of the children, but a wise man with a reputation spread far and wide needed to be shown to outsiders. If he wanted others to know that a young lady was filial and filial, it would naturally take some time. In my previous life, my mother insisted on giving me to Master Xue as a concubine. The wet nurse said that my mother was doing this for the sake of retaliating against Third Master Xue's sudden abandonment. I had never been to the Xue family before, so I was still able to hold my ground, but I saw my mother and Mrs. Xue's intimacy with my own eyes, so it really didn't make sense. Moreover, Grandmother had also said that when Mother and Father had a period of deep love, just from the affection Mother had for Father, it could be seen that Mother's goal was not to take revenge on the Xue Clan, then for what reason would she send her hard-earned daughter to be a concubine?

I thought again of what the King had said, that my mother had asked for the child's medicine. If in his previous life, his mother was asking for medicine because of me, then she would do everything she could to send me to the Qin and not to the Xue family. Even if his mother was stupid, she would still know how the Yang family could go against a family like the Xue family.

After two lifetimes, I was still unable to figure out what my mother's intentions were.

In my dreams at midnight, I still occasionally dream of my unborn son calling me mother with his little white jade hands.

I wanted to say yes, but I could only watch him go away and say nothing.

Since his rebirth, many things had changed. Although my situation had improved a lot, it had also made the events of my past life even more confusing and difficult to figure out.

In the midst of the firelight and lightning, I suddenly realized that many things had changed. Then, was it possible that his mother's purpose in this life was different from that of his previous one?

He felt a slight headache. He hadn't found out what happened in his previous life, but he couldn't predict what would happen in this life. It seemed like all I could do was to take things one step at a time.

Suddenly, I felt my wrist tighten. I blankly raised my head, only to see Lan Li's worried face.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Lan Li's eyes were as bright as a pair of stars.

"Hmm?" I had just withdrawn from my thoughts and did not understand what she meant.

"Look at your sleeves." Lan Li looked down. I followed her gaze and saw that her sleeve had fallen down at some point, and had landed on the inkstand. It was sticky and black.

Looking at the piece of cloth that fell into the inkstone, I felt some heartache.

This ink has an excellent glue and is used to draw with a brush. My father brought me three pieces, which I used to paint. Because it was late and he wanted to be lazy, he didn't take out the ink to write and instead harmed himself.

He had only worn this mask a few times, so he was afraid that he would never be able to wear it again.

I frowned. The two maidservants became even more silent, not daring to make a sound.

It occurred to me that I was trying to tease them.

Today was a day to drink, tomorrow to worry about tomorrow!

I frowned and raised my voice. "Why didn't you remind me?"

"I called Miss a few times, but Miss didn't respond."

This is it. I was too engrossed to hear it.

I glared at Lan Lan, then at Green Cock.

The two maids were terrified by me. They had never seen me like this before. They just stood there in a daze, unable to say a single word to defend themselves.

"Hahahaha!" "Hahahaha!"

I couldn't help but laugh and fall into the arhat chair in front of my desk.

The two maids were stunned for a moment before reacting to the fact that I was only teasing the two of them. Anger surfaced on their faces.

Lan Lingyun threw her arms and was about to leave when I hastily pulled her back and said, "Good elder sister, don't be angry!"

Lan Li turned her head and glared at me, murmuring, "How can you be like this, Miss!" After saying that, he turned around to leave the room.

I don't usually move as much as they do, so I went back to get reinforcements.

"Green Bandits, come help me!"

Lu Kui spread out his hands and stood silently in front of the desk just like before, revealing a helpless smile.

Although these two maidservants had different expressions, they both revealed their anger according to their personality.

I am sincerely happy. To be able to show her true nature in front of me, does that mean that in their hearts, I am no longer just the young miss of the Yang family?

Since he was already in the mood to play, there was no reason for him to stop.

Lan Li was afraid that she would hurt me, so she only gently struggled free.

Just what I wanted.

I took the opportunity to touch the ink on my sleeve, and just as Lan Li and I were in a tight spot, a tip of my foot touched the ink on her face.

"Miss!" Lan Ling's voice was very sad. "How can you be like this!"

I made a face at her, ran behind the Rookie, and yelled, "What can you do to me?"

I didn't expect it. The green bandit turned around and caught my hand with a smile.

"What are you doing?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.

"Didn't Miss just ask me to save you?" Green Bandits had an innocent expression.

"You!" I pointed at her and couldn't think of the right words to refute.

How interesting! I never thought that the silent green bandit would also open his mouth!

"Since sister said so, then I won't be polite!" I reached out my hand to catch the Green Bandits. The Green Bandits dodged left and right, but I also wiped a strand of it on their face and smeared it diagonally across their mouth, making them look like a beard.

I wanted to laugh when I saw how comical Green Queen looked. I didn't even have the strength to look at her. She was actually holding me tightly in her embrace.

When Lan Lingyun, who was chasing after me, saw the expression on the Green Bandits face, she couldn't even straighten her back. She stood there laughing while pointing at the Green Bandits, unable to say a word.

Finally understanding why I did not resist, he let go of my hand and ran to the inner room to see what was going on.

Lan Li and I stopped chasing after it, and laughed at the sight of the green bandit.

By the time he returned, the green bandit's face was clean, and he was holding a clean cotton towel in his hand.

After washing my hands, Lu Kou crossed his hands and pointed at Lan Lingyun, wanting to settle the score with her.

"You little hoof!" I helped you and you laugh at me! " As he spoke, he walked forward and began to fight with Lan Li.

The two maidservants laughed and made a ruckus. For a moment, their clothes were all loose and they stumbled out of the pavilion.

I hastily called out, "Quickly come back! Why did you call outside?"

The green bandit turned his head and panted for breath as he called out to me, "Miss, come and help me quickly! "This little girl has a lot of strength. She clearly wants to throw your face out in the open!"

"Alright!" I crisply responded and happily ran over.

Together, the two of us pulled Lan back into the pavilion and pressed her against the arhat chair.

I said to the green bandit, "Hold on to her and let me interrogate this little lady!" I reached out and scratched Lan's chin, as if I were a rake.

The two maidservants, Lu Ke and Lan Li, never expected that I, who was usually serious, would behave in such a manner. Laughter echoed in the room.

I reached out my hand to tickle her, laughing and bluffing. "I saw that the little lady's figure was so delicate, and now I want to touch her!" He reached under her arm and scratched her armpits.

Lan Yi had always felt itchy, but after a few tries she cried and laughed and begged for mercy, "My dear lady!" Good lady! Please let me go! "

My hands didn't stop moving as my face changed to a more serious one. "Please forgive me, sister. I have listened to the orders of this lady beside me!"

When Lan Ling heard this, she immediately laughed and pulled on the green bandit's sleeve, crying, "Good sister, I'll bring you tea every day. Please let me go!"

"You look pitiful, so I'll let you go!" As he spoke, he loosened his grip on her hand.

Lan Li stood up with her hair in a mess and her clothes in a mess. The three of them pointed at each other and laughed.

After combing my hair and changing my clothes, I sat at the desk and continued writing my letters. Lan Lingyun stood in front of the desk and grinded the ink for me.

I sat at the table and rested my chin on my hands.

It seems that Mother didn't intend to send me to the Xue Family as a concubine. One had to know that sending their daughter as a concubine, especially since she was an old man who was over half a century old, was an extremely unhonorable thing. Although the Yang family was a merchant, they still had a small foundation in the White City. Otherwise, their mother wouldn't have entered the banquets of the officials and madams as Lady Yang. If my mother had planned to send me into the Xue Clan, she wouldn't have exposed me so openly.

The last party confirmed my thoughts. In my previous life, I went to the Xue Clan for a small feast, and only the two wives of the Xue Clan accompanied me. Now that he thought about it, his meaning was clear. Mrs. Xue was the matriarch, and Mrs. Xue was the mother's cousin. She was just a concubine. He didn't need or want the ladies to appear.

In this life, it was very different. Not only did the Xue family's young ladies appear at the gathering, but my mother even specially prepared a dress for me to shine at the banquet. Not only did I get to know the Xue sisters, I also got to know the two young misses of the Jiang family. Mother knew that Miss Jiang and I had written a letter to each other, but she didn't stop me.

It seemed that his mother's goal in this life was different from her previous one.

So far, my mother has only allowed me to come in contact with the Xue and Jiang families. The Jiang family was a military general defending the border. They did not even have a good relationship with their mother. The civil and military officials had always walked different paths. The Jiang and Lu families didn't have a close relationship, so it was unlikely that the Jiang family was the one his mother wanted to have a good relationship with. What was left was the deep roots of the Xue Clan, a hundred-year-old clan of great clans.

Then Mother must be thinking of using me through the Xue family to achieve some sort of goal. According to the current situation, Prince Qi's words about begging for medicine were very reasonable, but I felt that my mother wasn't the kind of person who loved things deeply, so why would she waste so much energy just for the sake of asking for medicine?

Now that mother has mentioned the future of the Qin family, it must be because the Xue or Qin family's position in the imperial court is a little unstable, or maybe they are showing their intimacy today. The Xue or Qin family is anxious to curry favor with them, or else the Xue or Qin family is pushed aside, the two families are anxious to use me to find an opportunity to change the situation.

I can't ask my parents about this. Mother may be slow, but the mother beside me isn't a person to be trifled with. Father is a man who walks outside and often comes into contact with people from the government. I'm afraid that Father would be able to guess my thoughts the moment I open my mouth.

As a general, the Jiang Clan would definitely pay attention to any movements in the imperial court. White City was an important town at the border. If they failed to defend it, they would approach the capital. If it wasn't someone the Emperor trusted, he wouldn't have been sent to guard this border town. As far as I know, General Jiang has been in White City for eight years, but his rank hasn't changed at all. From this, I can see that his Holy Pet is still there.

It was just that Miss Jiang was a lady in her boudoir. She didn't know what had happened, and didn't know if she knew or not.

Even if she knew, how could I ask, so as not to leave a trace?

The imperial court and the inner chamber were often connected, so it was better to ask the inner chamber to observe the situation. She wanted to ask about the affairs of the family, but the matter regarding the inner chamber circulated very quickly among the wives. At that time, Prince Qi had said that the Xue family intended to escort Miss Xue to the palace, so it was likely that they had already made their move.

I took up my pen and wrote a letter. I thanked her for what she had given me the last time and mentioned that my father had come back this time to send me ten handfuls of the plain sandalwood fans from Suzhou. I'll bring six, three for her, and three for Miss Jiang. Besides, I mentioned that I had been cooped up at home for a long time, which was very boring, and if there was anything interesting that had happened during the time I didn't leave my house.

I sighed, thinking about Miss Jiang's thick and docile appearance, I don't know if she would be willing to gossip with me.

After finding an envelope and sealing the letter, I asked Lan Lingyun to put on a fan and instructed her to send it to the outer court tomorrow morning and send a mother to the Jiang manor.

Lan Li listened to my words but didn't put on a fan, standing there with a pair of bright eyes staring at me.

This girl is really stubborn. She knows I'm not at a disadvantage, but she still wants to know what's going on.

I smiled. What a crystal heart!
