After all, Mama Shang was someone from the palace, so how could Jin Lan not see through her? With just a few words, she was able to confirm that this girl definitely disliked Shang Jing. He didn't say anything else and just said blandly, ”It is not something that can be learnt overnight. Since you are not feeling well, wait until you are well enough to learn it.”

Jin Lan looked at the expressionless Mama Shang. Even though she knew that she was weak, she did not change her mind. Her heart sank, but a weak smile appeared on her face. ”Then I'll have to trouble Mama Shang.” She slightly raised her head and looked at Mama Tang beside her, ”Have you arranged the rooms in Mama Shang?”

Mama Tang smiled and replied: ”Everything has been arranged, it will be in the west wing's rooms.”

Lan Garden had a total of five rooms, and they all had an extremely good layout. In front was the Side Chamber, and in the center was Jin Lan's room, followed by the east, west, and east rooms. Usually, the East Wing would be used as a guest and a place for banquets. The west wing was separated from the front and back, with the larger front, where Mama Tang, Bi He, Wan Ju and the rest lived. Behind them, there was Mu Lan, and Wen Zhu's residence. As for Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Zhou, they lived in a small room behind the main house.

Now that the Mama Shang had arrived, and the people from the palace were also here, and their identities were different after all. Thus, the Mama Tang tidied up the space that had been vacated, and set up some personal belongings to serve as the resting place for the Mama Shang. However, that place was located in the middle of the rooms between the Mama Tang and Bi He.

Jin Lan was very satisfied with the arrangements made by the Mama Tang, so he said to the Mama Shang: ”Mama, I'll let Wan Ju accompany you to the house to take a look. If you need anything more, just talk to Wan Ju.”

Mama Shang got up, calmly squatted down and gave Jin Lan a blessing: ”Yes.”

Jin Lan watched Wan Ju lead the Mama Shang out of the door, then stopped smiling. With her previous performance, if it was just an ordinary Mama, she would have most likely retreated, but this Mama Shang still remained as unmoving as a mountain. It was clear that she would do her best in this matter.

This was enough to prove that she knew about Shang Jing and even the Old Ancestor's plans!

”Mama.” The color in Jin Lan's eyes changed, ”Have the kitchens serve more dishes tonight to welcome the wind for Mama Shang.”

Mama Tang nodded her head, ”I have already instructed them to do so. Lady, there is no need to worry.” She continued to laugh, ”The old lady really loves the young lady dearly. With this Mama Shang, everyone will have a good impression of the young lady in the future.”

Looking at Mama Tang's happy expression, Jin Lan couldn't help but laugh bitterly in her heart. If she hadn't known about the twists and turns within it, she would probably be the same as the Mama Tang, thinking that it was her grandmother's favor and feeling endless gratitude. Even though she couldn't remember much of it, she knew that all of this was just the result of the poison in the honey.

Compared to Jin Lan's gloom, Madame SHen was a little more polite to Mama Shang. Thinking about it, she and Mama Tang shared the same thought, thinking that this matter was beneficial to Jin Lan.

Although the Mama Shang would only be taught after Jin Lan had fully recovered, he still had to take into account Shang Jing's time. Thus, he would pay more attention to Jin Lan's usual actions and speech, and would correct him whenever necessary. Mama Tang, Wan Ju and the others were naturally happy to see it happen, causing Jin Lan to feel extremely vexed.

It was noon today, and after just finishing their lunch, Mama Shang was called over to the Jiayu Hall. Just as she was about to leave, Mu Lan lifted the curtain and entered, ”Miss, the third lady is here.”

Jin Lan was leaning on the bed and reading a book, and upon hearing Mu Lan's words, he shifted a little and said softly, ”Invite her in.”

Ever since Ye Jinwei moved to the Tranquil Heart Residence, the smile on her face grew wider and wider, and he often came to the Lan Garden to talk with her. However, after the Mama Shang came, he did not visit.

Ye Jinxian followed Mu Lan into the house, and upon seeing Jin Lan, bowed: ”Second Sister Sis.”

The corner of Jin Lan's mouth held a smile. After asking Mu Lan to serve tea, she softly said to her: ”How come you're free to come to my place today?”

Ye Jinxian smiled sweetly as she sat on the small platform beside the bed. ”When I was in the garden just now, I saw Pin Yue walking past Mama Shang and Grandmother's room. I thought that it had been a while since I last came to visit Big Sister, so I came over to take a seat.”

Hearing that, the smile on Jin Lan's face deepened. ”You also know that you haven't come to see me in days?” ”I'm afraid that you have already tired of eating the snacks here and are unwilling to come again?”

”What did sister say?” Ye Jinwei pouted, ”In this mansion, only Lan Garden can eat delicious snacks, if not for... I'm willing to move in here. ”

”Alright, that's why you wanted to move over for a snack. You heartless little thing. It's fortunate that I'm usually so good to you.” Jin Lan covered her mouth and laughed, Ye Jinxian had once came across a Mama Shang, and because of her gluttony, he got beaten up. From then on, he was afraid of this stubborn Mama, so long as he saw her figure, she would definitely avoid her.

Ye Jinxian stuck out her tongue, ”Who asked big sister to plant such a huge ice mountain inside the house.” She looked left and right, her expression one of lingering fear.

”Who did you learn to talk like that? Be careful that the Mama Shang knows, I'll teach you a lesson.” Jin Lan looked like he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she was right, the Mama Shang looked at the sky with a straight face, and didn't smile at all.

Ye Jinxian shrunk her neck, and immediately shook Jin Lan's sleeve, saying in a spoiled manner: ”Good older sister, you must not tell Mama Shang, if she finds out, then I really won't be able to eat Lan Garden's snacks anymore.”

Mu Lan carried the tea in, and seeing Ye Jinxian sway the Jin Lan, she hurriedly said: ”Third Miss, our lady already has a headache when she wakes up. If you continue shaking, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it.”

Hearing that, Ye Jinxian immediately let go of her hands, her bright eyes filled with regret: ”I'm sorry, I don't know, is elder sister okay?”

Jin Lan shook her head, and joked: ”Just say it in such a serious manner, Mu Lan, don't scare the three misses, what if she doesn't dare to come from now on, our dim sum would be spoiled, right?”

Mu Lan pursed his lips into a smile, agreed and retreated to the side to wait upon them after the tea was served.
