C171

It was a deed to the land, in that small box with its fragrance.

While covering the private stamp of my mother, I wrote Liu Lang's name on it. The big red stamp clearly told me that this big house with a hat and a lane leading to the main road went past the government offices.

I smiled bitterly.

Even if I deliberately wanted to treat Lanxin as that innocent and harmless young girl, my own reason would not allow it.

I smiled and accepted the deed.

Even if I asked, it would be just a few words of excuse, I might as well save my tongue.

"Thank you for your trouble!" I smiled faintly and returned the empty box to her.

The noon sunlight shone through the window directly on her head. Her long, curling eyelashes trembled, and there was a fan-shaped shadow cast on her pure white jade-like face.

There was a tinge of sadness in her delicateness.

If she wasn't the King of Prayer, would she have put this kind of girl in her hands and pampered her?

"Tell Old Mistress Yang that I'm not feeling well, and won't be eating with her at noon!"

Lan Xin's voice was clear and melodious.

"Alright!"

I had experienced this kind of unattainable sadness before, and it wasn't that I couldn't understand the pain in her heart.

But, whoever planted this bitter fruit could only taste it himself.

He had nothing to do with anyone else.

At such a juncture, some comforting words from me made her feel even more uncomfortable.

Lan Xin calmly faced the window and never looked back at me.

"Then I'll go!"

It was as if he was facing a dead water, with no echo at all.

I smiled to myself and turned away.

When I left the room for the last time, I thought I saw Lan Xin's tearful eyes.

Standing at the door of the house, I see the sun again and take a deep breath of the fresh air.

In front of Lan Xin, the repressed air made me dizzy.

Lan Ling and the green bandit didn't know where they went, and the entire courtyard was silent. Not even a single person could be seen.

The oriole birds that hung in the corridor chirped in a melodious and melodious melody as they hopped around in the bamboo birdcage with their bright red paws.

Everything seemed quiet and natural.

"Miss!" Lan Qing and the green bandit came out from the back of the courtyard. Both of them had serious expressions on their faces as they rushed to my side.

"What about Miss Biao?" The maid named Chun Yu beside Lan Xin didn't greet me first, but asked about Lan Xin.

Who would have thought that Lan Xin would find someone loyal to protect her master!

Lan Ling and the Green Bandits looked unhappy.

After all, I'm a lady in a proper house.

I smiled and pointed to the main house. "Cousin suddenly feels uncomfortable!"

Lan Xin was stunned. Then, her expression changed drastically. She grabbed the hem of her skirt and ran inside the house.

As I walked up the steps, I thought of bowing to me, and for a moment I hesitated.

I waved to her, then turned and led Lan Li and the Green Bandits out of the courtyard.

"Miss, are you alright?" After turning the corner, Lan Li whispered into my ear.

"Put this in your pocket!" I held the deed in my sleeve in my hand and shoved it at Lan.

"Miss Biao is feeling a little dizzy?" With a slightly raised voice, Lan Lingyun took the thing in my hands with a smile.

No one is more daring than Lan Ling.

In my grandmother's courtyard, hearing Lan Xin's discomfort, the old man pulled me to ask again and again.

"Where is the discomfort?"

"Should we find a doctor to take a look?"

"Don't just look at how young you are, it won't be good if you get sick!"

"I don't know now, but if I get old in the future, I'll have to suffer greatly!"

As they talked, Grandmother became increasingly worried. She got up from the brick bed and went to put on her shoes to take a look.

One could tell from Lan Xin's eyes that she had been crying.

If he provoked his grandmother, who knew what kind of problems would arise.

"Cousin just didn't rest well for a while, that's just giving me a headache!" I sat next to my grandmother and comforted her in a low voice.

I was suddenly envious of Lanxin.

Obtaining the trust of others seemed like a simple matter to her.

But it was harder for me.

In order to hide from my mother, I was treading on thin ice.

Although Lan Xin's heart was like a ball of fire, she seemed exceptionally amiable.

Perhaps this was the so-called Heavenly Gift?

In the end, Grandmother decided to ask Liu Liangzhong, who had great medical skills in her heart, to show Lan Xin her "illness."

I smiled nonchalantly. With Lan Xin's illness, I'm afraid that Liu Lang won't be able to cure it.

Thinking about Lan Xin's medical skills, even if Liu Lang did some tricks, she would still be able to see through him.

Since that was the case, it didn't matter if he went over to take a look.

Mother Du stood at the side and looked at me with her eyes. Seeing that I agreed so easily, knowing that this matter didn't have any effect, she smiled as she agreed to Grandmother's words and sent a message to the outer courtyard.

At noon, there was still a table of Jiangnan dishes. Grandmother carried her bowl and was slightly absent-minded.

These were probably specially prepared for Lan Xin.

I heard Mama Du say that my grandmother would sometimes chat with Lan Xin in the southern dialect of Wu Nong's soft words.

Every time he heard a country voice, the old man would laugh to his heart's content.

"Why don't we send a serving of the dishes to my cousin's room?" Seeing my grandmother's lost expression, I smiled and made a suggestion.

"Alright!" Grandmother sneaked a glance at me, as if she was afraid I would be unhappy.

Seeing that I didn't have any expression of unhappiness on my face, Grandmother's smile became even brighter. She shouted out the door: "Send a serving of dishes to Miss Biao's house!"

His eyes revealed a carefree expression.

I smiled.

It seemed that Grandmother had really put Lan Xin in her heart. Otherwise, how could she have forgotten about her own granddaughter, Aunt Chen?

A few dishes were not some rare and precious items.

Grandmother must be very lonely, too, right?

Compared to my granddaughter, who only knows the Northern and the Tarantula languages, isn't Lanxin more considerate to Grandmother?

If he was so concerned about Jiang Nan, why did he break his connection with him?

I had asked Mother Du, but she had faltered and tried to cover it up with other words.

It looks like I still need Shopkeeper Xiao to ask around for me.

Remembering Lan Xin's gaze, which contained a hint of hatred, she coldly asked me, "Do you think he's just trying to use you?" My guilt.

Indeed, it was King Qi who helped me far more than I helped him.

Other than relationships, what other people would be willing to make a loss in this kind of business?

Although I chided Princess Hong Hua in my heart for having the same face as me, I had to admit that if it wasn't for that face, it would be difficult for me to move an inch.

Just what kind of peerless beauty could make the Prince and the Emperor constantly yearn for her?

Without Lan Xin, Grandmother didn't seem to have much to say. She chatted with me for a while and then chased me out to see if Lan Xin was any better.

I could not help but laugh, together with Hong Chang, we served Grandmother well before leaving the main house.

"If Miss doesn't mind, why don't you come to my place?"

Hong Chang's words were polite, but her attitude was sincere.

Thinking about Lan Xin's gloomy appearance, he felt a chill down his spine.

"Alright!" I smiled and followed her to the first room in the back room.

This was a room once made of red jade, but now the furnishings were very different from when she was here.

In the past, there used to be a lot of display items in the Treasure Pavilion, but now, they were all stuffed full of books.

"I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable." I covered my sleeves as I smiled, my eyes filled with ridicule.

However, Hong Chang did not say a few words of courtesy and embarrassment like I had imagined.

She lowered her eyes and said in a calm voice, "My father was an Elementary Scholar."

I was slightly shocked, as I did not know that Hong Chang did not come from a poor family.

Hong Chang seemed to have guessed my doubts, and smiled brilliantly: "Mother spent all her money to marry and let father study, who would have thought that father would divorce my mother after becoming an Elementary Scholar."

"What about your mother?"

"She died when I was seven."

Hong Chang said each word flatly, as though she was discussing how the weather was today, and the content was astonishing.

I couldn't think of anything better to say for a moment.

"Miss, you're here!" A young wife with narrow red sleeves turned around and looked at me with a smile. "Why are you standing at the door? You'll catch a cold if you blow the wind!"

He didn't expect to meet Red Jade here.

"Seriously, you really don't know how to invite xiaojie in!" Hong Yu looked at Hong Chang angrily as she smiled and helped me, as if I was an old man that could be close to her.

Ever since Hongyu married someone, her conduct became more and more experienced, and even the shadow of Mother Du could be seen within.

Hong Chang only laughed, and did not say any words of explanation.

It wasn't the first time I'd seen them in a special relationship.

"The two of you seem to be especially close?" I sat on the brick bed and watched Hong Yu order Hong Chang to pour the tea.

"I was brought up by a big sister!" Hong Chang brought over a large tea tray.

There is a set of magpie spring tea set, I prepared for the red jade dowry.

"You're quite generous!" I waved the teacup in my hand in front of Red Jade and teased her with a smile, "Take me as your lover!"

Hong Yu covered her mouth and laughed: "Since you're giving it to me, then let me handle this!"

"I was the one who saw the Han Plum Blossom Snow in Aunt Chen's room. Big Sis gave me a set, but I didn't expect that it would actually be big Sis's wedding!" Hong Chang felt extremely guilty when she heard it, and her expression while holding the teacup was not good.

Red Jade shook her hand and smiled, revealing a small dimple on her left cheek. "How could a nobody from a small clan like them be able to use this!"

"Elder sister's words are completely wrong!" Hong Chang giggled: "Isn't elder sister also a member of the Li Clan?"

Hong Yu laughed and was about to catch Hong Chang: "See if I can't tickle you!"

The two of them played around for a while before stopping.

I took the embroidery basket from the side of the kang and looked at it.

On the top of the big round embroidery shed was a taut red silk, embroidered with round lotus leaves, fat big red carp, and pink and full yet unfinished lotus flowers.

However, it was different from the one used by ordinary women. The red ribbon was short and small, with only a few straps on it.

It was obvious that it belonged to a child.

"Whose is it?" I took the undergarment and looked at it carefully. With a smile, I said, "Such bright work!"

Red Jade's face turned red.

"Could it be that you …?"

I couldn't help but stare.
