"Are you better?" Grandmother took her hand and asked gently, as if she were treating her own children.

"Thank you for taking me in!" Lan Xin's eyes reddened and tears were about to fall.

That pitiful look on her face didn't have the bold and fierce look she had last night.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. Even though I had reincarnated as a person, I was still a little inferior to these people!

Grandmother took Lan Xin's hand and said to Mother with a smile, "It's normal that you don't know her! "In the past, her grandmother was a famous medicine woman from our hometown's Hangzhou Prefecture. I was born with a small birth, and it was her grandmother who took care of me!" Grandmother's expression was extremely sorrowful, with a hint of seriousness.

Lan Xin was slightly surprised, and then she smiled at me with an expression I understood.

Grandmother didn't want to say that she had something to do with Madame Tong, partly because she didn't want to talk about the grievances of the past, and secondly, because she didn't want her mother to know about the past!

It seemed that grandma had already discovered the relationship between her father and mother at that time. Otherwise, her mother would have known about the jade token in the inner chamber.

"How is your mother now?" When others couldn't see, Grandmother's gaze on Lan Xin was like a sharp sword, flashing with a cold light.

"Me. "Me." Lan Xin did not speak first shed tears, a bean sized tears from the drooping phoenix eyes, look at the people so heartbreaking.

Grandmother wiped her face with the handkerchief and comforted her gently, "Good boy! Good boy! "Slow down."

She lightly leaned on her grandmother's shoulder and said in a gentle Southern accent, "My mother passed away a year ago. Before she died, she took her jewelry, gave some silver coins to the escort office, and sent me to White City. She said that she wanted me to find you, so you will definitely take me in." At the end of her speech, Lan Xin's voice was broken, her grief-stricken and forlorn expression written all over her sorrowful face.

Lan Xin's words were very clever. It was obvious that she was sensitive to the conflict between her grandmother and her mother. Therefore, she cleverly chose a middle way to speak. She didn't mention Cao Peng, but instead made up a story about taking care of someone at the end of their life.

I secretly rejoiced. Luckily, I did not believe that she was some lively and naive little white rabbit!

With such an astute reaction, how could she have known about the relationship between her grandmother and mother in such a short period of time?

"Old master is back!" There was the sound of a maidservant outside. His father had returned at the right time!

Even if her mother had a million questions, she wouldn't be able to ask!

Mother Du walked in softly. She lit up the lamp on the table beside her grandmother and smiled at her mother. "Master has returned. He is standing outside the door."

Grandmother pointed at Lan Xin and said, "Take her down to find a place to stay. Give her one of our dishes."

Mama Du smiled in agreement. She waited for Lan Xin to kneel down and bow, then led her out of the warm pavilion.

"Boss, come in!" Grandmother called out with a smile.

Mother and I both stood up, and when Father came closer, we went up to him and kneeled down. "Master is back!" One of them stepped forward and greeted, "Greetings, father!"

His father nodded and got on the brick bed with his mother's help. His mother then quietly poured a cup of tea for him and sat on the drumstick next to the brick bed.

I smiled and found an inconspicuous spot behind my mother.

As the maidservants came in one after another to hold the lamps, the soft orange lights complemented the endless dark blue night sky outside. It made the atmosphere inside seem extremely warm.

"How does mother feel today?" His father laughed and moistened his throat with the tea his mother had poured.

Grandmother's face was rosy and she was brimming with energy. She answered with a smile, "I raise flowers at home every day. I talk to my wife and grandchildren. What's wrong with that?"

A sincere smile appeared on his father's face. "Look at what Mother said!" "Since it's good, I can rest easy now."

"What's there to worry about?" Are you afraid that your wife will eat me? " Grandmother laughed heartily as she shifted her gaze, displaying every bit of her beauty.

"Have you arranged tomorrow's birthday banquet?" his father asked his mother, who was sitting beside him.

Mother gently lowered her head, revealing a part of her neck. From my point of view, the sparkling white skin was coated with a layer of gold under the light.

"It has already been arranged. I just told mom about it." Her mother's face was very cold, and when she smiled like this, it brought a sense of gentleness.

His father looked at his mother's face with satisfaction.

"After all, your wife has been the host for over ten years. If you don't do this kind of thing well, you won't end up making people laugh their teeth off!" Grandmother laughed and teased her father.

His father smiled faintly, a few wrinkles appearing on the corner of his mouth. "If mother is tired tomorrow, go back to her room and rest. Leave the guest to Lady Qing!"

"Are you worrying about your mother's body or giving your wife face!" Grandmother held the cup in her hand and smiled.

The mother's face was an indiscernible red, and her lips curled into a small smile.

Seeing that it was getting late, Grandmother instructed Mother Du to set dinner. Grandmother pulled me to sit beside her. The four of us ate dinner in an amiable manner.

"It's getting late, I still have to receive gifts tomorrow. If you go, let me relax!" Grandmother said she was tired and sent us out.

After we left the house, my mother took my hand and followed behind my father. "Is the birthday present for your grandmother ready?" she asked with a smile.

I nodded and said smilingly, "I've consulted Mother Du about the styles that she likes."

"What did you give your grandmother?" His father suddenly stopped and turned around to interrupt.

"Daughter made it herself." I respectfully replied.

His father frowned and paused for a moment before asking, "How can I give you this kind of thing? Isn't your store doing pretty well? "

I sneered in my heart.

It was just opening a store, you have to keep thinking about it! He really couldn't afford to take advantage of this earlier!

If I was still in the dark, would this tall man standing in front of me be my father? Would he still consider things like face?

"My daughter is thinking about what good things Grandmother has not seen before, and what good things Curry has? Even the things that I thought were good, in Grandmother's opinion, were not that bad. I just want to make something for Grandmother personally, so it would be more intimate. " Although my words weren't soft or hard, it was sufficient to mock my father's contempt.

"Ignore your father!" Although my mother didn't know what was going on between my father and me, it was impossible for her to not understand our words. She carefully fixed my collar with her bare hands as she explained to my father with a smile, "Your father didn't know that the woman was intimate with the things she gave me."

After hearing my words, my father's ashen face eased a bit. He snorted, turned around, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

"Although it's spring now, the wind is strong at night. Don't always come out and walk around." My mother was still standing in front of me, giving me instructions, but my mind had drifted away with my father.

"Yes." I smiled and curtsied.

His mother, accompanied by a servant, hurriedly followed his father. A large group of people followed their mother as they left in large strides.

I took a deep breath. It was really uncomfortable to be surrounded by so many people just now.

"Where are the young maidservants?" I turned back to the green bandit and led him and Lan Qing to the bamboo path that led to my courtyard.

"Mother Du said that she was personally teaching those young maids."

I turned my head to look at Lu Kui, and he immediately understood what I meant. He hastily added, "It was the Old Granny who ordered it."

The maidservants who were previously assigned to each room had been taught by the maidservants in the respective rooms. Why was it that this time, they were taught by Mama Du herself?

Maybe it was Grandmother's whim.

I walked quickly. The two maidservants behind me asked, "Miss, why are you leaving so quickly?"

"It's nothing!" Even though I said that, I was worried.

Grandmother's radiant face didn't look like she was tired at all!

I have guests tomorrow, so I need to rest early tonight. But now, since it was just dinner, how could he sleep so early?

Grandmother hastily dismissed us, the only reason is that she wants to talk to the son of an old friend, Lan Xin!

I know it's not a good thing to meddle in other people's houses, especially with my grandmother. But I can't sit in my room and wait for news!

Perhaps a few words tonight would determine her place in my grandmother's heart. My heart felt like it was on fire.

I am worried not only about Lanxin's ability to gain my grandmother's trust, but also about my grandmother's safety! While Lan Xin was carrying the teacup, I secretly observed her hands. The joints were distinct, and there were thin calluses on her fingers and palms.

The calluses left by a writing pen would not be like that! Only those who practiced martial arts would leave their mark on the sword because they held it all year round.

When we reached the depths of the bamboo forest, I sent the green bandit to watch by the side. I pulled Lan Li and said, "Do you know anyone from Grandmother's house?"

"This servant and the old lady grew up together, their relationship is very good." Lan Ling was at a loss.

"Where is she?" I never heard of an apricot in my grandmother's house.

"On the stove." Lan Lingyun frowned her thin eyebrows, and in the next moment, she understood what I meant. She smiled and replied: "This servant and Miss Hong Chang in the old lady's room can still speak!"

Hong Chang was Grandmother's maid, it couldn't be any better!

"Just tell her I want to do something for Grandmother and ask her for some flowers she likes. Do you understand?"

I saw the solemnity in Lan Lan's eyes and knew she understood what I meant.

"I'm afraid I have to stay and chat with Sister Hong Chang!" Lan Jun smiled brightly, her brows and eyes moving like a clear spring.

"Hurry up!" Seeing her confident appearance, I also smiled slightly.

Lan Bing turned around and walked back. After meeting up with the green bandit, the green bandit suspiciously asked her, "Where are you going?"

"Miss is waiting for elder sister!" Lan Lingyun smiled as she pushed the green bandit away. On the surface, she looked at ease and leisurely walked away.

Although his temper was a bit out of control, he was still quite smart!

"Miss, what did you send this monkey for?" The green bandit came over and helped me up with a smile.

"You'll know in a while!" I also imitated Lan Li's appearance, selling a bit of information to the green bandit.

"Miss, how come you're also like this?!"
