Even though they were separated by a wall, he could still clearly hear Lan Ling's flustered voice from next door. It seemed as if Wen Lian's mother could not bear the sudden loss of her daughter and fainted from her tears. Lan Li was busy instructing her mother to carry her to the brick bed. She was in a hurry to order the doctor to come in and treat her. It took her more than an hour before she could calm down.

Lan Ling accompanied the couple to salute me.

I looked up and saw that Huang Lang was also following behind. He slowly walked in and stopped at a spot next to the door.

I quickly threw him a smile and lightly nodded my head, treating it as a greeting.

He wrinkled his nose and stared at me with his sharp black and white eyes.

The pair of clear eyes stared at me as if they were silently condemning me.

Look!

If it wasn't for you, how could it have caused him to lose his son all the time?! How can you sit up high like you're the host?

In a moment of panic, I lowered my eyes, afraid to meet his gaze. He secretly caressed the Cloud brocade pattern on his sleeve for a while before calming his mind.

What can I do in my place?

Whoever wasn't carried away by the rolling dust like duckweed would come at once and go at once. Struggling with all his might was just asking for a bit of freedom.

[It took me so much effort just to finish half of it!]

He had already taken 99 steps in the past 100 steps. Now that he had completed his task, how could he turn back and start over?

Furthermore, I have never left myself a path of retreat.

Since he had already made up his mind, it would be easy for him to handle the matter. Although I was sad, I was not a close relative of mine. Naturally, it was hard for me to feel the pain of the couple.

I'm not very good at comforting people. I'm afraid that if I say something wrong, I'll stab them in the heart. Thus, he only said a few simple words of greeting before telling the two of them about my plans for the two maids.

Money, though unable to heal the grief of the bereaved, could alleviate the financial distress of their families. Seeing that they had gradually stopped crying, I knew that they were satisfied with my arrangements. I then took the opportunity to serve some tea and said, "The two ladies died for my sake. I will definitely not treat you unfairly. Currently, there is a shortage of people by my side and by those young masters' side. If there are any young lad or girl of suitable age in the house, just send them in. I will definitely arrange for a proper job. The two ladies' deaths will be shared with the Gu Clan, so let's settle it together! Right now, the Gu family's business is under the control of my mother Song in the house. In a while, the two sister-in-law to help the girls pack up and deliver it to the mother's mourning hall in the front courtyard, and give it to mother Song. "

Hearing that the other children in the house could still be sent in as attendants, the grief on the faces of the other visitors lessened slightly. They knelt and kowtowed to me, and then, still accompanied by Lan Ling, went next door.

Huang Lang stood upright on the floor, and Hong Yu was naturally embarrassed to sit opposite of me. She smiled as she invited him to sit on the brick bed and personally served a cup of tea to him.

Huang Lang hung his head and played with the black porcelain teacup, looking like he didn't want to talk to me.

I smiled to myself, thinking it would be better this way. I felt more at ease not to be interrogated by his sharp eyes. Thus, she followed his wishes and quietly sat on the brick bed to eat her tea.

For a time, the room was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. The young man sitting across from me on the kang table peeked at me from time to time before retracting his gaze, afraid that I would discover him.

I straightened my back and sat up straight, pretending I didn't know anything.

When Lan Li came back, I said that there was something else in the courtyard. Hong Yu, as my grandmother's trusted aide, naturally knew what I was busy with, so she didn't say anything and just took the lamp to escort me to the entrance of my grandmother's courtyard.

Huang Lang followed us out of the courtyard, falling four or five steps behind Lan Li and me.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The clear sunlight was wantonly sprinkling down on the courtyard, causing every blade of grass and tree in the garden to be covered in a soft glow. The snow on the ground was also scattered like crushed jade. It was a peaceful scene!

I couldn't help but sigh secretly. If this world was normal and quiet, how great would it be?

If there wasn't so much scheming and scheming, how carefree would it be to return to seclusion in the fields and ask for wine and chrysanthemums?

Lan Lan, who was standing by my side, seemed to have sensed something as she raised her head and stared at the bright moon with me. She muttered to herself, "This kind of day, when will we become leaders!"

I couldn't help but smile as I thought to myself, 'Very soon, we will be able to settle this matter thoroughly!'

After crossing the suspension bridge, it would be the place where Huang and I split up.

I brought Lan Lan to a halt under the bridge, and watched as Huang Man slowly walked over under the moonlight. A handsome face, under the moonlight, actually looked like a white jade sculpture. It faintly emitted a bright and pure brilliance, like a fairy descending into the mortal world or a fairy entering the mundane world.

I couldn't help but smile.

Such a man as beautiful as a plum blossom, to me, should be a distant appreciation.

Only by being meticulously cared for by the family, cherished by parents, and befriended by relatives and friends can such a pure, clean, goddess-like person be formed.

As for me, I am like a blade of grass. I don't have enough nutrients, and I don't have a suitable environment. The reason for his crazy growth was all because of the resentment in his chest.

People like me, want to wantonly grow, indulge in the burning!

It was just like how those expensive flowers in the greenhouse and flower pots would never be placed together with a blade of grass casually harvested from some damp corner or from some old cracks in the brick wall.

After seeing him walk in front of me, I smiled and bowed. "I've troubled you again, sir!" My daughter still has some questions that require mister's explanation, I don't know … "

Huang Lang stopped two or three steps away from me. He frowned and lowered his eyes, scanning my face.

"They both used the same poison!"

"Thank you for your explanation, Teacher."

I flew over with a smile, crouched down, and saluted. Then I turned and walked back to my own yard, holding Lan Li's hand.

After a long while, Lan Li came close to my ear and whispered, "Miss, Mr. Huang is still standing there. Should we …?"

I shook my head and quickened my pace as I pulled Lan Lingye along. "He's not a fool. He'll go back before he sees me!"

Lan Lingyun looked at me and nodded thoughtfully. In the end, she sighed.

Entering the yard, they found it cold and cheerless. There were many lights in the rooms on both sides of the street. It was painted black, and looked quite frightening.

Now my yard is a little empty.

Lu Kuo was locked up by his grandmother; Lan Zhi was in the care of Aunt Chen; Lan Xiang was taken care of by me; Mother Song was in charge in the mourning hall; Lan Li had to take care of the family affairs. Everyone who could afford it in my yard had already been transferred, and Lan Xi and Lan Xi were the only ones left in my maidservants, so I had to leave matters in the courtyard to the two of them.

In addition, Lan Zhi recommended her sister, Tao'er. With a glance, I knew that she was a smart child, but she was only eleven years old this year.

When I entered the room, Lan Zhixi was sitting in the outer room, accompanying the Hundred Wood Family to talk with them. Tao Er was alone in the inner room, watching the sound of the house as it fell asleep.

When the Hundred Wood Clan saw me enter the room, they hurriedly stood up and respectfully placed their hands by the side of the Great Treasure Pavilion. After I untied my cloak and put my shoes on the brick bed, I slowly walked up to me and kneeled on the ground.

Before he could open his mouth, two streams of tears flowed down his cheeks.

"What is elder sister doing!" Lan Li's hands were quick, and she reached out to support her before she knelt down. The other two girls were a step too slow. They looked at each other and also hurried over to help.

"Miss." Hundred Wood Family's eyes drooped and shed tears. They hurriedly wiped them away with their handkerchiefs and said with a tearful voice, "Hundred Wood Clan used to tell this servant that taking money is a matter of loyalty. Regardless of whether it was good or bad for Bai Mu, this servant knows in her heart that Miss has done her best. Your servant isn't someone who doesn't know what's good for you. It's because my mother-in-law said those words in a moment of desperation … "

His wife was only half lucky, but Bai Mu was already married to a good wife.

"Let's see where you're going!" I smiled and nodded, watching as she sat on the Wooden Pellet. I comforted the Hundred Wood Family with a few words, "Hundred Wood has been by my side for a year. Everything has been done properly. I know all about Mommy Zhou's character. Speaking of which, the marriage between the two of you was something that I arranged. If I didn't know the character of their Zhou family, how could I let you marry into it? On the other hand, if I didn't know about your character, I wouldn't have let Bai Mu suffer! "

"I just asked Huang Lang. As long as the fire of the trees goes out tonight, he would be fine. "Speaking of which, I also want to remind you two to pay more attention to him tonight. Whether or not Minister Huang is a man, he is still not as meticulous as you two."

The Hundred Wood Clan member hurriedly nodded his head in agreement. Then, he timidly asked: "Where is Aunt …?"

I secretly praised him in my heart. He's a nice person!

He didn't care whether he was worried about the green bandits or not, he still remembered to ask.

Unlike that old woman Zhou, who had lost her backbone when she saw that her son was in trouble, she was afraid that he would still be busy at her son's side, unable to remember that she had even given birth to a daughter!

"She's fine, it's just that she's been following me back and forth these past few days. It's not good to move her back and forth, so I might as well leave her with my grandmother to recuperate. "

Although the Zhou family listened to my words and nodded their heads in agreement, they had a pained expression on their faces. It was obvious that they didn't believe my explanation.

Speaking of which, she was also a lass from her grandmother's courtyard. Naturally, she was also thinking of Grandmother's' his mountain rock can attack jade 'trick.

With that said, I won't be able to say anything more. The Hundred Wood Clan naturally understood the reasoning behind this. They hurriedly wiped the tears off their faces with a handkerchief, stood up, and bid their farewells.

I then ordered Lan Li to personally send the people from the Mu Clan back to the courtyard.

Lan Xin and Lan Xi followed me obediently into the inner room. Tao'er was sitting in front of a charcoal brazier, fiddling with the silver and frost in the brazier. She was surprised to see me suddenly enter the room.

I gestured to her not to be formal.

Tao Er tremblingly stood up, and quickly walked over to welcome them, and followed behind the two people of Lan Xin Lan Xi's group.

In front of the bed, the curtain was half-drawn down, and his eyes were closed as he slept soundly. He pouted his lips slightly, and his two cheeks blushed.

I reached for his forehead and let out a sigh of relief.

It turned out that it was because he was sleeping. The charcoal in the room was burning vigorously, and his face was flushed from the heat.

After extinguishing the two lamps that had been placed on the bed with my own hands, the room immediately became dark. I carefully tucked the outer curtains of the bed and made sure that they would not disturb his sleep.

Tao Er stopped outside the screen and respectfully stood at the side with her hands by her sides, waiting.

I nodded to myself as I looked at it, feeling a little more satisfied with Lan Zhi's younger sister.

Unlike her sister, who was always steady and loyal, this sense of intelligence made her seem like she was carved out of the same mold as Lan Ling.

I took out the black, lacquered, flat haired boy's key from my bag. I handed it to Lan Xi, who was standing beside me.

In the end, they were going to see their family's servants, and there were also a few mothers who had served by their grandma's side for many years. They all had some experience, and if they didn't wear gorgeous clothes, it was likely that they wouldn't be able to suppress them.

Lan Xi took my keys and remained motionless for a long time. She and Lan Xin looked at each other blankly for a long time before they finally opened the wardrobe.

When the cabinet door opened, all sorts of clothes and dresses were revealed. Under the dim light of the lamp, the gold and silver thread embroidery shone with a gorgeous light. It actually caused the two maidservants to be stunned and unable to move for a long time.

It was as if he had gone crazy from watching it.

They were all young girls, who would not like these clothes and accessories? Thinking about how these two maidservants had never attended to me in changing my clothes, it was most likely because they had never seen my hidden treasures before. Remembering that there was a room full of servants and there wasn't even any news about them, I didn't feel anxious. Thus, I just found a small Wugong and sat down, allowing the two of them to enjoy themselves.

In the end, it was my second class servant that was in the courtyard. She would definitely be breathtaking, but she wouldn't lose her sense of propriety. The two of them carefully looked at the piles of embroidery. Their faces were red as they turned around and rubbed their hands nervously. They whispered, "The two of us have been outside the whole time. We're just helping Big Sister Lu Ping with some chores. We're really …"

Looking at the two's uneasy and ashamed expressions, I couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't their fault. In the past, when Lu Ping was still around, she personally did all the food and lodging for me. Later on, she switched to Lu Kuo and became more cautious, not wanting to make a mistake at all. Naturally, she wouldn't pretend to be someone else.

These maidservants usually only walk outside the room, and when they see me, they don't even walk very often, let alone arrange clothes and accessories for me.

In all honesty, it was my negligence.

I hastily smiled and waved my hand as I joked, "Speaking of which, I have really made things difficult for them!" It's not a big deal, but it scared the two of you! Get up! "

Seeing that both of them were hesitating for a moment, even though they stood up, their faces were still flushed red with embarrassment. I smiled and pointed at Lan Xi. "You're the one who's managing the kitchen for me. Go and get me a bowl of lotus seed soup." After thinking about it, I realized that I wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep soundly tonight, so I changed my tone and said, "Go cook a big pot and heat it up. There will be a lot of people drinking tonight!"
