Just as he walked to the door, he heard his grandmother's voice from inside, "Why hasn't the eldest girl returned after leaving for so long?"

Mother Du smiled as she comforted her grandmother, "Miss has opened a shop at such a young age, naturally it won't be easy."

I was about to push open the door when I heard my grandmother sigh, as if she had more to say, and I stopped.

"She's only eleven this year. This child is also a poor life, think about warm 11 years old time to do? "All he did was play around in the yard with a kite, while this child planned to show himself everywhere for the future." Grandmother's sighs came one after another.

"Isn't the old saying that pays attention to first suffering, then eating?" Mama Du comforted her grandmother softly.

"Sigh!" "It's all my fault that my old bones are useless." Grandmother's voice gradually faded until it could no longer be heard.

My nose was a little sore, and I didn't think my grandmother would blame herself for what had happened to me.

I pulled a servant girl by my side and gave her a look. She immediately understood what I meant and said loudly, "The young miss is here!"

The voices in the room stopped at once, and I smiled gratefully at her.

The footsteps gradually drew closer. "Miss, you're back!" The green bandit opened the door and welcomed me in.

Sitting on the kang, my grandmother's eyes were slightly red. Seeing me come back, she smiled kindly.

"How is it?" Grandmother reached out her hand to me, and I hurried over and sat down next to Grandmother.

"It's not much better than that." I vaguely replied, thinking that it was bad. Why didn't I tell them to prepare a plate of pastries for me?

Fortunately, Grandmother didn't have any suspicions, she only asked me one question at a time about the appearance of the kitchen maid.

I thought of the maid who had just washed my hands and told my grandmother what she looked like.

Grandmother smiled and said, "Why would such a beautiful young daughter-in-law be assigned to the kitchen?"

That's right, she was so beautiful. Any sane businessman would ask her to entertain guests. How could they let her work in the kitchen? How could I have forgotten about this!

"She doesn't cook in the kitchen all day, she only occasionally goes to the stove when she has an important guest." Now that he had lied, he could only use more lies to explain his lie.

It seems that my excuse is reasonable. Grandmother nodded.

"Miss, the dessert you wanted just now has arrived."

However, don't forget about that maid from before. If Grandmother were to ask about her, she would be found out!

"The chef's wife said that she was despicable and did not dare to meet the Grand Matriarch. She offered the pastries she made by hand and treated them as if they had been kowtowing in front of her."

In her heart, Lu Ke also knew that the cook's business was just an excuse, so he accepted it with a smile. Then he took the food from the box and brought it over.

A plate of chestnut soups, a plate of pea yellow, a plate of osmanthus cake, orange-yellow light green milk white in a sky-blue lotus petal high porcelain plate, beautiful.

Grandmother reached for a piece of chestnut cake and handed it to me. I took a small bite.

This was too sweet!

He turned around to look at his grandmother, who was eating a piece of chestnut cake with relish, praising the chef for her excellent culinary skills.

It suddenly occurred to me that Grandmother liked to eat sweets more than most people. This cake was specially made for Grandmother, so it could be said that I had given it my all!

What is the King trying to tell me? He knows all about a little hobby that my grandmother likes, and he'll find out right away if I do anything against it. I laughed self-deprecatingly and, while no one was looking, threw the piece of cake that had only been bitten into the large pot containing the Wen Zhu.

After eating the pastries, my grandma slanted on the brick bed for a while. I smiled and held Grandmother's hand, acting like a spoiled child. "Grandmother, let's go home!"

Mother Du hurried forward to help her grandmother up.

Just as they turned the corner of the corridor, Ma and a group of daughter-in-law came out to welcome them.

"Old Ancestor, are you going home?" Mama Ma was very charming and difficult to dislike.

"Yeah." Grandma laughed as she helped Ma up.

I walked to the back door and helped my grandmother and me into the car. When we got out of Hu Tong's house, Ma led them back to the courtyard.

It was obvious that my grandmother had been tormenting me for the whole day. She leaned against the cushions of the carriage, closed her eyes, and chatted idly with Mother Du. I just smiled and listened from the side.

Along the way, my mind was still a little unsettled. It had already been the time for a cup of tea to drink, but Lan Xin still hadn't appeared. What method did she use to enter the Yang family?

"Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! " There was an anxious roar from the coachman outside, and then the sky turned upside down. I grabbed my grandmother's arm in a panic, afraid that she would be hurt.

What a fool would use such a crude method, I thought to myself.

The oil lamp that had been lying on the table fell to pieces. The flames leapt onto the carpet and immediately began to burn.

Through the light of the fire and the faint sunlight outside, I saw my grandmother slumped in the chair opposite me, face down, not knowing if she was alive or dead.

I panicked and didn't dare to go up and look. I pointed at Mama Du and screamed, "Go and help Grandma up!"

Trembling, I picked up a pot of tea and extinguished the fire.

The carriage immediately turned dark, and only the vague outline of a person could be seen.

"I'm fine, I'm just a bit dizzy." From the dim yellow came his grandmother's muffled reply.

Mama Du helped Grandmother up from the bench, and I lifted the curtains on both sides of the carriage to let in more light.

The carriage quietened down, and sounds of bustling activity could be heard from outside.

In the light, I carefully looked at my grandmother, but there were some bruises on her forehead, so it didn't seem to matter.

My heart dropped back into my stomach.

"Mommy, please help Grandmother lie down." I pointed to the chair across the room, and she hurried off to take care of her grandmother.

I calmed my mind and asked loudly, "Yang An, what happened?"

Since he was a child, he has been the coachman of our Yang family. Grandfather admired his loyalty and adopted him as his foster son, and later married him and gave birth to his eldest son, Yang An, who is still a coachman in the Yang family. This year, he is already in his forties.

"Miss, a girl suddenly ran in front of our carriage and was almost trampled by our horse. It's a good thing that a young master helped me pull the horse."

The girl he was talking about must be the girl I just met, Lanxin. I just don't know if that young master was arranged by Prince Qi.

I have never believed that there is any injustice in a shout, if this person was not arranged by the Prayer King, some silver coins to thank will be settled.

According to common sense, Lan Xin should have begged her grandmother to keep her. But now, only Yang An and that Young Noble could be heard chatting outside.

What was going on?

"How is the girl?"

"Miss, that young lady was kicked by a horse's hoof, and now she has fainted. It seems like her wounds are not clear." Yang An had already walked to the front of the carriage and kept wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"What about the young master?"

"Young Master is checking on that girl's injuries."

How could this be?

If she passed out like this, I could just drive the carriage back to the Yang family and leave her by the roadside. If she came looking for him, his grandmother would definitely not take her in. No, not only would he not take her in, he would even drive her far away. After all, it was not nice to hear the news of him not saving someone when they were about to die.

It seemed like something had gone out of plan.

In my heart, I felt that there was a high chance that the so-called unexpected was the so-called Young Master.

"Miss! Are you okay? "

When I came back to my senses, I saw Lu Kui standing under the window, dressed in tattered clothes. He was trying his best to peek inside.

"I'm fine." The horse in front of us was startled, and the horse behind us was naturally alarmed. Presumably, the green bandit was also upset.

The sound of a young maid crying could be heard from behind him.

I found the crumpled veil in the chaos of the carriage, covered it, and lifted the curtain to get out.

When the green bandit saw me, he quickly reached out to help me. I saw that her wrist was covered with a bluish purple color.

I reached out my hand to support her shoulder and jumped off the car. The green bandit whispered his thanks to me. I gently gripped her fingertip.

As he turned the carriage, he saw a young man in black clothing squatting in front of the carriage. He had his head lowered, so his face could not be seen. Behind him stood a boy of about thirteen to fourteen years old, dressed in a green manservant's uniform. He leaned over and whispered something into his ear.

On the ground beside him, a medicinal box had been torn into pieces. The contents of the box were scattered all over the floor.

Initially, I was still looking forward to Lan Xin's appearance. Seeing her bring along a medicinal case in order to appear as a medical woman, I could only silently lie on the ground.

I walked to a spot about five steps away from them before I squatted down and bowed. "Greetings, Young Master."

Seeing his face, I couldn't help but gasp.

This is really... Godly and handsome!

A pair of sword-like eyebrows, eyes glimmering with the radiance of the Morning Star realm, a perfect oval face, a handsome nose, and lips as white as cotton.

A sixteen or seventeen year old youth was even more beautiful than a young girl! How many women would fall for such a face?

Looking at my dazed expression, a trace of a mocking smile flashed across the man's face, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Miss, this lady is severely injured and needs some rest." He stood up and pointed to Lan Xin who was lying on the ground.

A ray of sunlight shone down from his shoulder, colouring his shirt in a different color.

"Young master's meaning?"

"I have a doctor who lives in my family." Inadvertently, his face once again revealed a contemptuous expression.

It seems that he thinks of me as some ignorant girl who is obsessed with his appearance!

Such a handsome young master had been admired by so many young ladies before that it was hard to imagine how arrogant he was as a young man.

Sadly, I am still seduced by this beautiful appearance.

I mocked myself in my heart before I said, "I am extremely grateful for young master's kindness in saving my life. Looking at young master's clothes, it seems that he is also from an aristocratic family. "Why don't you give her to me?" Saying that, I took out two silver notes from my sleeve and handed them over to the green bandit.

"This is a thousand silver, treating it as a reward for Young Master." The green bandit stepped forward to deliver the banknotes.

He frowned and looked down at her as if he had seen something unclean.

That sharp gaze made it so that the green bandit held the banknotes in his hand and did not dare to move forward two or three steps away from him.
