When he raised his head again, there was a smile on his face, ”Aunt, don't worry, the Old Ancestor especially likes big sister, that's why he wanted to keep her here for a little longer. As for Steward Li …”

When she left, she already thought that other than Marquis Runan' Mansion, even if it was Yangzhou, there would be a great deal of shock.

Hence, not only did she need to complete Marquis Runan' Mansion's etiquette, she also needed to think of a way to round up the manor's idle chatter.

Jin Lan picked up the teacup and lightly swirled it, brushing away the tea foam. He then looked into the room and lightly said, ”The mother is bedridden, and as a child, the ancestor knows best when he takes medicine before the bed.”

She was gambling.

At the same time, he was betting that the Old Ancestor would not dare to expand the matter of her leaving without permission, and would instead walk down the stairs that she had set down for him.

Clutching the letter, don't try to scheme for the girl and her filial piety, sending the girl back to her hometown in a thousand miles, which is light and which is light, which is good and which is bad, the shrewd ancestor is clear!

As for the old lady, as long as she did not make things clear, she would pretend to be confused.

Sure enough, Concubine Shao was all smiles, even hshe voice revealed a sense of pride, ”Your big sister's personality is gentle and virtuous, she is an extremely good person, she is naturally favored by the Old Ancestor, and this is a big matter in the clan, I have to congratulate you.” As she spoke, he lifted her foot and prepared to enter the room.

However, before her hand could touch the bead curtain hanging on the door, it was stopped by Jin Lan.

”Aunt, please wait.”

The four short words were like bone-piercing ice, causing the Concubine Shao to involuntarily shiver. The hand that was just extended out was frozen in mid air, but after thinking about it, she became angry again. She puffed out her stomach and said: ”What? What's wrong with me going to say hello to my wife? ”

Jin Lan lowered her head to look at the foam floating in the sweet white porcelain tea cup with the pink and white peony pattern. The clear, clear tea made her cold eyes light blue. ”Mother just drank the medicine and fell asleep. If Aunt wants to pay respects to Mother, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a while. ”Also …”

She paused, and looked at the furious Concubine Shao coldly, then said: ”Furthermore, mother has been sick for a long time, and can't blow the wind. The inner room's doors and windows are tightly shut, and there's a strong medicinal smell coming from her, which would be bad for Aunt. Especially since I don't know if Aunt is drinking some birth control medicine, but if there's anything that goes against the smell of the medicine, wouldn't it be a disaster? ”

”You!” Concubine Shao was shocked, she opened her eyes wide and a layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead: ”What did you say?”

Jin Lan's gaze flickered slightly, and with faint ridicule in her voice, he said slowly: ”Even if Aunt isn't thinking for herself, you should at least think about the child in your womb. After all, this is a child born of the Ye Family, so no loss is allowed.

After he finished speaking, he did not want to continue interacting with Concubine Shao, so as to avoid disturbing his mother who was lying inside, Jin Lan called for Qiu Wen who was outside, he did not expect that the one who lifted the curtain and entered was the big servant, Su Xin.

She quickly glanced at Su Xin, who was looking down at her eyebrows, and Qiu Wen, who was following behind her. She instructed: ”Serve Aunt well and bring her back to Bright Autumn Pavilion.”

”Yes.” The two of them nodded their heads, and were about to go forward to support Concubine Shao, but were pushed away by her.

Concubine Shao paused for a moment, then walked towards Jin Lan, steadied his heart, and lowered his voice, asking the two of them in a weak voice: ”What, do you know?”

Jin Lan slowly put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Concubine Shao with a harmless expression. After a long while, his lips curled up and he asked softly, ”What does Aunt think I should know? What should I not know? ”

”You, you, you …” Concubine Shao pointed at Jin Lan with trembling hands. It was hard to tell whether he was more angry or more afraid.

Seeing that the situation was bad, Su Xin hurriedly stepped forward to support the Concubine Shao, exclaiming: ”Aunt, what's wrong?”

was initially shocked and afraid by Jin Lan's words, but now, Su Xin's words caused her to regain her senses. Under the chaos, she felt a faint pain in her stomach, and she started to groan as she held her stomach: ”My, my stomach, it hurts so much.”

Jin Lan saw that her face was pale and covered in cold sweat. It didn't seem like she was faking it. His brows couldn't help but twitch. Could it be such a coincidence?

If something were to happen to the Concubine Shao inside the Shuixie Pavilion, then it was impossible for her mother to not be implicated.

Without time to think, she decisively made Su Xin help Concubine Shao to sit on the reclining chair, then had Qiu Wen immediately go get a doctor. At the same time, she said to Hui Xiu who was in the room: ”Quickly go and get the old granny.”

In any case, he had to minimize all matters that were detrimental to his mother.

When they were on the boat, Mama Zhu had already listened to Jin Lan about everything that had happened in the palace, so she was very clear on how much Ye Lin and the old lady valued the Concubine Shao's stomach. Furthermore, based on her personality, she had invited a doctor who was an expert in the disease of women to stay in the mansion, which was not far from the Bright Autumn Pavilion.

The person she asked Qiu Wen to call was this doctor.

As for the old granny, she would definitely not be able to keep it under wraps any longer. Concealing her identity would make people feel that there was something fishy within the Shuixie Pavilion, so it would be better to just tell the truth and bring the old granny over to show her innocence within the Shuixie Pavilion.
