C120 (2/2)

She deliberately acted in a completely unrelated manner, just so that she could see Jin Lan's reaction. If Jin Lan was confused or could not see through her plan, then this trip would truly be considered as one where she came to visit. After all, she could not take the initiative to participate in that matter.

Seeing her suddenly become serious, Jin Lan's heart was moved. With Ye Jinyu's character, she would rarely shoot without a reason, so this letter definitely was not just a birthday present.

After pondering for a long time, her eyes gradually lit up, and raised her head to look at Ye Jinyu, ”Elder sister, you said just now that my birthday present is the most suitable for the old ancestor, what is the explanation of this?”

Although Ye Jinyu looked calm, Jin Lan thought deeply, his heart was in turmoil. Seeing that she had finally found the right answer, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief, ”Little sister Lan, don't blame me for this, this matter is extremely important, I have no choice but to be cautious.”

Pausing, she continued: ”You have just arrived in the capital, and are well versed in Lotus Root, so naturally you are not clear about the situation outside. However, in the past few days, the capital had been bustling with noise and excitement. Miss from Ye Family. ”

With that, she deliberately stopped and waited for Jin Lan to react.

”Sister Yu.” Jin Lan was silent for a moment before he forced out a smile. With a hoarse voice, he said, ”Please continue.” She already had an answer in her heart, but she still held onto a glimmer of hope.

A trace of pity flashed past Ye Jinyu's eyes, ”Rumors have it that three people became tigers and the people formed a forest. Now that word has spread, they have become the Fourth Prince and the Ye Family lady … Love each other and accept each other's wishes. ”

Following the proverbs of the market, it was hard to avoid her mouth turning agape. Her blushing face slightly nodded, and then she quickly moved on to the other side, ”It was said that the rumors were originally spread from the palace and only said that Lady Ye Family had lost her footing and fell into the water. Fourth Prince had risked her life to save her, but for some reason, they spread like this later on. Even if the name of the woman in Ye Family was not mentioned, there is a high chance that the Old Ancestor was secretly watching her after he entered the palace.

So it was like this!

Sweat slowly seeped out of Jin Lan's palms, but his heart felt waves of coldness. With a pale face, she got up and gave Ye Jinyu a deep blessing.

Ye Jinyu immediately helped her up, and said with a strange tone: ”Little sister Lan, what are you doing? Since we're all sisters, and you're sick, it's only right that I come to see you.

Jin Lan understood that Ye Jinyu did not want to involve herself too much in this matter. After all, this matter had a high possibility of being related to the Old Ancestor. However, Jin Lan was already extremely grateful that she was able to deliver the letter.

Ye Jinyu wanted to stay a little longer, so she chatted with Jin Lan about the sisters and revealed some of Ye Jinwei's recent situation. ”Sister Wei and Sister Yue are fated to be together, and the two of them going in and out together these few days is more intimate than anyone else. Little Sister Yan is also together often.

Jin Lan only smiled faintly when she heard this. She had never underestimated Ye Jinwei. In her previous life, it wasn't easy for her to hide her jealous heart under the illusion of a deep sisterly love.

In this life, the reason why she could make the mother and daughter suffer so easily was solely because of the coincidence of her previous life and the fact that Ye Jinwei had not fully matured in this life. However, it should be more than enough to deal with the other ladies of Ye Family.

Furthermore, now that she was unable to take care of herself, as long as it was Ye Jinwei, she did not have any extra thoughts to worry about. Fortunately, they had all come for the sake of making a name for themselves on the birthday banquet, so they did not need to find trouble with the Lotus Root for the time being.

After chatting for a while, Ye Jinyu got up and took her leave, Jin Lan personally walked to the door, and when she had walked far away, she felt as if all the energy in her body was gone, and her legs went soft, causing her to stumble.

”Miss!” Wan Ju, who was behind Jin Lan, saw that she was in a hurry to support her, but when her eyes made contact with her pale little face, she could not help but exclaim: ”Why does my lady's face look so ugly? This servant will call for a doctor! ”

”No need!” Jin Lan grabbed Wan Ju's hand tightly and shook her head: ”I'm fine, I just woke up a little anxiously. Just help me sit down, don't say anything.”

Wan Ju immediately helped Jin Lan to sit on the reclining chair, and went to the back to massage her forehead gently.

Jin Lan closed his eyes as his thoughts spun rapidly.

Perhaps Bai Yifei and Li Yingluo did not see what happened at the Spring of Warm Water that day, or else, with Li Yingluo's temper, it would not end like this. The only person who could clearly see the situation when Fourth Prince saved her was her ancestor!

Although Ye Jinyu said that the initial rumors came from the palace, but the imperial palace was heavily guarded. How could it be a place where anyone could casually spread the word? And in the end, it was spread so unbearably! These were all things that the old ancestor was happy to see happen.

With this, even if she was unwilling, as long as the Old Ancestor seized the right moment, she could only be a fish on a chopping block, and would be at the mercy of others.

Jin Lan initially thought that she had escaped calamity before falling into another circle. He felt that a dense yet soundless net was slowly enveloping her within. There was no way forward, no way back …
