After searching and choosing from the mirror, Bi He also picked a Seven Treasures Pearl Gold Steps that was embedded with jade. Just as she was about to insert it in for her, she was stopped by Jin Lan, ”This step is too expensive.”

This was the most luxurious piece of jewelry the Old Ancestor had asked the Mama Wu to bring to the Yangzhou. The Old Ancestor did not know what was going on, and it was obvious that he wanted her to make enemies.

Bi He thought for a while, then understood Jin Lan's thoughts, he immediately retracted the step that he was holding, and once again picked out a white jade pearl encrusted with a red coral pearl, the Double Knot Ru Yi Chai, and said, ”The pendant with the coral pearl, it would be good if it could be put in a whole set.” She stuck the Ruyi hairpin into her hair, pulled out the flat needle, and put on a pink velvet flower.

Just as he was dressed neatly, Jin Qian's voice came from outside the house, ”Miss, are you ready?”

Jin Lan looked at the water caltrop mirror hurriedly, and when he saw Mama Shang nod his head, he asked Wan Ju to go out and answer.

Wan Ju smiled as she opened the door, and replied to Jin Qian: ”Big Sister Jin Qian's arrival is really a coincidence, Miss has just put on her clothes, and will be able to move the moment she speaks.”

Jin Qian nodded her head with a smile and said: ”The Old Ancestor sent word that dinner would be served at Longevity Hall's Eastern Warm Pavilion, so the young lady can head over directly. There is no need to pay respects at the Old Ancestor's house.”

Jin Lan then walked out, and looked at the East Wing on the other side, ”Are the sisters already gone?”

Seeing Jin Lan's pretty appearance, Jin Qian's eyes lit up. Her eyes flashed for a moment before he hurriedly replied: ”Just now, Lady Jin Wei has already left. As for the other young ladies, they didn't come back at noon.

When Ye Jinwei went to Longevity Hall, she would definitely pass by her door, but she didn't expect to call her that. And the other girls coming to Fragrant Li Palace was Ye Jinyan's idea, right? Was she afraid that the girls would be befriended when they returned to the courtyard? Such childish actions really resembled each other. Jin Lan couldn't help but smile inside.

”If that's the case, I can't delay any longer.” Jin Lan smiled and nodded towards Jin Qian. Although she did not know why Jin Qian was being so friendly to her, but in the current situation, having a little bit of kindness was better than a little bit of malicious intent, but she could not be completely unguarded.

Jin Qian's mind was sharp, and was an expert at observing other people's faces. She knew that Jin Lan would remember her words, so she slightly bent her knees, and left with a smile.

Bi He took off the cape that she had placed on Hibiscus Mutabilis, shook twice, and tied it around Jin Lan's body, ”Miss, your servant will accompany you there?”

Jin Lan saw that both Mama Shang and Wan Ju were preparing to leave, thought for a while and said: ”There's no need for that many people, Mama Shang and Bi He will accompany me for a trip. Wan Ju will stay behind to guard, it's not suitable for no one to come in the house.”

If everyone left, who knew what would happen in the house? If there was anything more or less, the situation would become even more uncontrollable.

Mama Shang herself knew the Inner Court like the palm of her hand, so they did not wait for Jin Qian to arrange a servant to lead the way, and the three of them tidied up their clothes and cloaked themselves in the cold wind. Although it hadn't snowed yet, the winter night had come early. The sky was already rather dark, and lanterns were already lit up on the veranda.

The place was not as spacious as the main house, but it was elegantly decorated. On top of the flowers laid a blue and white glazed flower bottle, and inside, there were also a few Four Seasons Begonia s that had just been broken down from the flower room. The crystal clear emerald green leaves and delicate and gorgeous flowers were gorgeous and extraordinary. They were magnificent and dignified, making them seem very fresh and elegant.

The Old Ancestor had not arrived yet, as Ye Jinyan was currently holding Ye Jinyu's hand and sitting on the soft bed, the rest were also seated by her side chatting, even to the point where Ye Jinwei, whose heart was filled with loathing at the beginning, was currently sitting there, laughing merrily.

Seeing Jin Lan enter, everyone turned their heads to look at her before continuing to speak, as if they didn't care about her arrival. When no one was looking, Ye Jinwei raised his eyebrows at her and revealed a look of schadenfreude.

Jin Lan's eyelids twitched slightly, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled, and waited for the maid in the corner to remove her cloak. Then, he stepped forward and bowed, ”Jin Lan greets the sisters.”

The girls, who had originally decided to leave things alone, were stunned as they did not expect her to act in such a manner.

The smile on Jin Lan's face became wider and wider. Ye Jinyan's unfathomable hostility made her anticipate that this would happen sooner or later. Therefore, she directly ignored everyone's negligence and graciously greeted them, using all the courtesy she could muster. If they were still this indifferent, it would be because they were rude. It was not because she was ignorant.

Sure enough, after a short while, Mei Tang's daughter Ye Jinfang stood up and returned the greeting, ”Sister Jinlan.”

One was the other. The six and eight girls who were born into the family also stood up to greet him.

The rest of the girls hesitated and was about to get up when they heard a cold snort resounding in their ears.
