"Where did this good tea come from?" Lan Xin, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly glared at me. "You shouldn't have come to my room for tea!"

"I remember the jade-green spring I drank last time. It tasted good and lasting, and was definitely not ordinary." I gently stroked the brilliant embroidery on my sleeve and said smilingly, "It can't even enter your mouth?"

Lan Xin was rendered speechless by my question. She immediately changed the topic. Pushing the teacup in front of her towards me, she muttered, "This is much better than Biluo!" "Clearing heat to remove fire and expelling poison!"

Naturally, I know that buckwheat tea is hot and goes to the fire.

Back then, I followed Xue Lang, and in order to gain my reputation, I urgently wanted to give birth to a son. When I saw the doctor, he said that I had a fever in my womb and that there was fire in my blood, which made it difficult for me to conceive. I don't know how many cups of this bitter and deadly tea I drank in order to calm the fire and recuperate.

So when I lifted the lid of the teacup, I knew what was inside.

Because his heart knew Lan Xin's thoughts, he swallowed the bitter and astringent tea without a care in the world.

"Then pour me another cup!" I purposely frowned, showing an expression of endless distress.

Lan Xin knew I was trying to make her happy, but she couldn't help but smile brightly at my frustration.

"Bring the two ladies down to rest!" When spring rain had served tea, Lan Xin waved to her, signaling for them to withdraw.

Spring Rain immediately curtsied in agreement, but Lan Ling and Lu Ke still stood behind me with cold expressions, with no intention of leaving.

I couldn't help but secretly praise her in my heart: Good girl! It was not in vain that I felt sorry for you all!

"All of you should go down as well!" I waved my hand towards the two of them. "Have a taste of this tea as well. It's good for your health!"

The two maidservants smiled and complied. After curtsiing, they left with Chun Yu.

"What did you call me for?" I went straight to the point and asked her directly with a smile.

Lan Xin raised her eyebrows and smiled. She held the teacup in front of her and took a sip. "When did I come to find you?"

He really can do it!

"Didn't you wait until the last moment to save that Du kid so that you could call me over through Mother Du's mouth?"

After expending so much effort, it was just to make me take the initiative to look for her. I am also impressed by Lan Xin's persistence.

"Oh?" Lan Xin raised her brows. With a smile, she asked, "How do you know I didn't want to bribe that old woman?"

"What's the use of bribing her?" I smiled helplessly. "You are a person who comes and goes freely. You don't have any requests from anyone in my family. Why do you have to waste your time trying to please them?"

There was something else that I didn't say. How could someone like her, with such a prideful and undisciplined personality, intentionally try to curry favor with others?

Everything Lan Xin did seemed to be for fun. From the Jiang family's lotus flower feast to this cup of bitter tea, her every move was like a game, an adventure.

Right!

Lan Xin's actions felt like she was playing a game of life.

It was because of this feeling that I couldn't stop worrying about her.

She didn't miss a thing, but I was worried about her. Perhaps it was her casual innocence that made me feel so familiar that I felt a twinge of pity for her before I realized it.

"It's just a casual chat!" Lan Xin lowered her eyes, a cute smile hanging on her lips. She looked very innocent.

Who the hell would believe that you spent so much effort just to talk to me!

Even if you want to keep me in suspense, I'll keep you in suspense. I'm leaving when the time comes.

I sat upright in my chair, slowly sipping the cup of tea that had lost its heat, looking like I was going to sit with her until the end.

After sitting there for a while, Lan Xin looked at me three or five times, but I didn't have the slightest intention of opening my mouth.

"What did the young master's letter say?"

It's here!

In that moment, I thought carefully about what I knew that would make Lan Xin pay so much attention to what I knew. After all, it was only the letter from the King.

Should I be outspoken or should I hide the plot of Prince Qi's Consort?

"The Young Master said that the Grand Matriarch was extremely concerned and that she was not young at all. He was preparing to discuss the matter of marriage." I carefully stared at Lan Xin's expression. To my surprise, Lan Xin didn't have much of an emotional reaction.

"Young Master's second sister-in-law is pregnant now. The Grand Matron would like to marry a few concubines to add some liveliness to the family."

Seeing that her mood was stable, I said the second half of my sentence without worry.

She sat there in silence. The light cicada wings stuck to the window could not hide the shadows of the dense cypress trees outside. The mottled sunlight fell on her jade face, making it seem even paler.

Worry, annoyance, and anger. After all these emotions had passed, the only thing that remained was a helpless smile.

A tear slid down her lowered eyelid and disappeared into the folds of her collar.

"Come!" I pulled the handkerchief out of my sleeve and handed it to Lan Xin, who was sitting there in a daze.

The person in front of me didn't seem to hear my words as he just sat there motionless with his head lowered. His black hair was tied up low, revealing a small pink earlobe.

If the Lord of Heaven were to personally see such a beautiful girl getting married because of him, would he also be tempted …

Just when my arm was about to get sore from raising it, a sudden force came from the other side and the handkerchief in my hand landed in the hands of the tearful lady.

"Thank you!"

Lan Xin's voice was light and fast, with a thick nasal sound.

I couldn't help laughing.

Her haughty nature was both lovable and hateful.

"How can you be like this. Grandmother's house is full of people, coming and going, you feel better. "How about …" I looked at her, and I felt a pang in my heart as she lowered her head to wipe away her tears.

Once upon a time, I was the same …

"No need."

Because she had been crying, Lan Xin's voice was no longer as crisp and cold as it usually was. Instead, her nasal voice had a tinge of delicateness to it.

His nose was red, and the corners of his eyes were red. However, his eyes seemed to have been washed by water. They were exceptionally clear, with a gurgling stream flowing inside them that was exceptionally bright.

"I want some peace and quiet these days."

I nodded my head in agreement.

Since he wanted some peace and quiet, he must have thought it through.

In case she was in a bad mood, crying and laughing in front of her grandmother and scaring the old people.

"Take care of yourself then." There didn't seem to be anything left to say when I sat down again. I got up to say goodbye, but I couldn't find anything nice to say to comfort her.

It seemed as if he had to face a crisis in order to be able to reach the Immortal Realm. For a debt like this, even if someone tried to persuade him, it would be useless. Only he himself would be able to escape from it slowly.

Only when things went smoothly could he use his stronger heart to face the troubles in the future.

Lan Xin nodded slightly, still wiping her cheeks with my embroidered handkerchief.

After escorting me to the door of the house, I pushed her back with a smile. If others were to see this, they would think that I bullied you! Although my grandmother was angry at you for a moment, but she might have stepped forward to help you afterwards! "

I think that although Lanxin is willful, she is not the kind of person who doesn't understand reason. It wasn't like she couldn't feel her grandmother being nice to her. Her devoted service to her grandmother may not have been entirely entrusted to her by me.

"I'll let you be proud for two more days!" Lan Xin smiled through her tears. "Don't worry! I will definitely take good care of your ancestor! "

When I was about to leave, the maidservants in the Orchid Heart Courtyard had already ran over to inform the two maidservants by my side. At this moment, Chun Yu was accompanying them as they walked around the corner of the corridor. Her steps were light and quick.

"Go back quickly!" I softly instructed Lan Xin, "If there's anything you need, send a servant girl to tell me!"

Lan Xin smiled at me. She was so beautiful that it could move a person's heart.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, Lan Xin had a maid bring a box of Pure Heart Pills over. The young maid's looks were extremely pleasing to look at, and she tactfully stood in front of me and replied, "The young lady told me to tell the young lady that 'although the pattern is simple and the embroidery work is crude, it wins in her heart. She will use these to repay your kindness'." When I heard this, I couldn't help but laugh. I gave her a handful of sugar and instructed her with a smile, "Go back and tell your lady that the embroidered handkerchief was bought outside the embroidery building with thirty taels of silver."

Even if Lan Xin were to say thank you, she would pick up something unpleasant to talk about!

It was clearly because he wanted to thank me for my friendship, but he insisted that the embroidery was bad.

I won't let you do as you wish!

Thinking about how she knew that embroidered handkerchief was a work of some unknown lady's hands, and yet she mistook it for something close to her body that I had personally made, would I be angered to the point of kneading that handkerchief into a ball?

After listening to the young maid's reply, Lan Xin's shy and annoyed face seemed to be right in front of my eyes. I couldn't help but smile.

"Miss!" Lan Xin held the box in her hand and walked to me with a smile on her face. "This pill smells so good!"

The brown, bead-like medicine filled half of the box, exuding a faint luster. The moment it was removed from the lid, a pungent fragrance wafted out.

"Leave half of it, we'll split the rest!" Looking at the cheerful Lan Lan, I couldn't help but laugh. "Now that the weather is hot, you all must be careful."

"Yes sir!" Lan Bing curtsied, took the box and left. It was only at the Bogu shelf that she remembered to thank me. She turned around, embarrassed, and her face turned red.

"Hurry up!" I smiled and waved her off.

Lan Lingyun was like a bird as she happily walked out of the door. Not long later, the entire yard was filled with the sounds of thanks and laughter from the crowd. For a moment, it was unexpectedly bustling with noise and excitement.

That night, the young maid brought something over and charmingly replied, "Our lady asked me to tell Miss that she thought that the handkerchief was made by Miss, so she took care to protect it. Since it is only a vulgar person, she decided to alter it on her own accord and now she has to return it to Miss." He pointed to a few other boxes and a small bottle, "This is our lady's recent Mung Bean Lotus Root Warm Powder. It can calm the liver and heat the liver, and the sweet peach cake. We'll serve it to Miss tomorrow.

"Thank your mistress for me!" I instructed Lan Lingyun to reward her a few copper coins and send her away.
