”Although the Imperial Physician Situ's medical skills are renowned throughout the world, it can't be compared to the Hua family, which is the descendant of the genius doctor. Ever since the First Princess heard the old lady talk about the deficiency of the Second Miss, she personally invited the Old Imperial Physician Hua to help her.”

The Hua Clan had always specialized in the ways of the world, but their clan had an unwritten rule. Even though the disciples of their clan studied the Apricot Forest, there could only be one disciple in each generation who worked in the Imperial Hospital. When the previous Imperial Physician Hua Yan resigned from office, he was the head of the hospital. He was the highest in command of the hospital. Four years ago, he had retired because of his old age. Now, although he tried to dissuade him, he could only compromise in the end.

After Hua Yan resigned, his son, Hua Mei, made a name for himself in the Family Competition and became a member of the Hua Family who had entered the Imperial Hospital. He was young, but his medical skills were beyond his years and he had become the vice head two years ago. Last year, when the Imperial Physician Situ returned home, he took the opportunity to sit at the seat of honor.

At present, the people of the capital all called him Imperial Physician Hua Xi. It was obvious that Mama Wu's ”Old Imperial Physician Hua” referred to Hua Yan.

Jin Lan and the Madame SHen didn't have much of a reaction yet, but Old Madame Ye's eyes lit up, ”Did we really invite the Old Imperial Physician Hua over?” There was a rare trace of excitement in his tone.

Mama Wu covered her mouth and laughed: ”It is absolutely true, First Princess even told me this servant. If Miss came to the capital, I would bring Miss into the palace and ask Old Imperial Physician Hua to help me with my veins.”

Old Madame Ye's unsettled expression instantly became clear. She held Jin Lan's hand and looked at him lovingly, then sighed: ”I have troubled the Old Ancestor.”

Jin Lan lowered his head, his face showing gratitude and shame, but in his heart, he was sneering. If the Old Ancestor was sincere in asking for treatment for the younger generation, why would the name First Princess come out of Mama Wu's mouth? She just wanted to use the First Princess's name to suppress the old lady and her mother.

Mama Wu smiled sincerely and said: ”That's because the old lady dotes on Miss, and keeps mentioning you in front of First Princess, that's why you took my interest to heart.” Without leaving a trace, she held the old lady in her arms and looked towards Madame SHen, who was sitting there thinking, ”If you want a servant to say, who wouldn't feel sorry for their junior? He knew the girl's health was not good, yet he still wanted her to suffer? Old Imperial Physician Hua is currently supporting a noble in the palace, and is unable to separate himself from the palace. Otherwise, how could this young lady possibly travel thousands of miles to the capital? ”

”Exactly.” ”Old Madame Ye nodded her head repeatedly, the respect on her face having long since disappeared completely. I had originally planned to have Girl Lan go to the capital to congratulate the old lady. Firstly, I wanted to show my filial piety, and secondly, I wanted to ask the Old Ancestor to take pity on Girl Lan's body.

The Mama Wu being the first to go, was the first to salute him. This moved the old lady's heart, and now, with the old lady's tacit approval, the two of them were singing the same tune, clearly wanting to use filial piety to suppress her.

As the ancestor of the First Princess, to be able to do such a thing for her was a great favor to others. If she still did not know the gratitude and was not willing to personally attend the ancestor's birthday, how could she not know what was good for her? It was simply unfilial! Back then, the slap she gave Yu Ge'er was now thrown right back at him.

Jin Lan thought about it for a moment, and then a sad expression surfaced on her face. She said softly, ”Lan Er also misses the old ancestor in her heart. When she heard that Lan Er was born, the old ancestor even gifted him with a great gift …”

After his previous life in the capital, when Cheng Huan was working for the Old Ancestor, he overheard the Old Ancestor mention that the Old Ancestor was still alive, and his relationship with his family was not as gentle as it is now. As a result, all the gifts that Jin Lan had received were rejected by the Old Master. Only after the Old Master passed away did the old lady and the Old Master begin to write letters to each other, slowly repairing their relationship.

Old Madame Ye and Mama Wu knew of this matter, and their faces immediately became unsightly.

Jin Lan acted as if she did not see it, and continued: ”How could Lan Er, who had gone through so much trouble for Lan Er, the Old Ancestor, be that heartless and ungrateful person? She naturally wanted to see the Old Ancestor. But right now, her mother's health was not very good, and was the only one left, if Lan Er left, who would show their filial piety? That's why you're hesitating, and don't know what to do. ”

In terms of filial piety, no matter how senior the Old Ancestor was, he was not ahead of her mother, Madame SHen. Besides, she had to be filial. The granddaughter of the direct descendant of the old ancestor was ranked somewhere, so it was impossible for her to be the daughter of a side branch.

Even if the Mama Wu knew how to speak, Jin Lan's reasonable and watertight words made her choke back her words.

Madame SHen was already extremely happy. With Jin Lan's words, if she still did not understand her daughter's thoughts, then it would be useless for her to be a mother.

Although she started to think about what Mama Wu was saying, but if it was something that her daughter wasn't willing to do, she would naturally not force it. She immediately said to Mama Wu: ”Mama Wu, look, it's not that I can't bear to part with my daughter, it's just that my body is in a bad condition. If Lan Er were to go with you, if something were to happen to me, it's a pity that this child's age doesn't allow her mother to say it.

There was a tinge of sadness in her words. She pressed the handkerchief to her eyes and continued, ”Old Ancestor is a wise man. He would never have the heart to separate mother and daughter. In my opinion, when spring starts next year, when the weather gets warmer, Lan Er and I should be able to recuperate a little, and then personally bring Lan Er to pay a visit and kowtow to the old ancestor and apologize, how about it? ”

Mama Wu was indeed someone who followed in front of the Old Ancestor. If she was a normal woman, Jin Lan and the words that Madame SHen had said would have made her retreat a long time ago. Although the smile on her face appeared forced, it did not decrease in the slightest. With a slight raise of her brows, she calmed down.
