Legitimate Daughter of the Noble Family

Ye Lin had been busy with official business recently, so he rested alone in the Outer Court for eight to ten days. Seeing Bi He's anxious face and hearing the orders from the Second Miss, the Steward Li thought about how the servants in the house had been talking about his various actions towards his wife the past few days, and secretly paid attention to his actions. Not only did he personally go and invite a doctor, he even sent people to the study room to report to Ye Lin.

Ye Lin, on the other hand, remained calm, and continued to write on the table. It was as if Madame SHen's coma was nothing to him. It wasn't until he was done with his work that he stood up and prepared to check the Shuixie Pavilion.

Coincidentally, Steward Li had also invited the doctor back, and the few of them followed Bi He to the Shuixie Pavilion.

When Jin Lan saw Ye Lin coming over, he immediately bent his knees and saluted. He only raised his head for a look, and then his tears fell with a 'shua' sound.

Ye Lin frowned, he saw that Jin Lan's small face was extremely haggard, it was because he cared about his daughter, and sighed, then waved his hand to allow Jin Lan to get up, "Let the doctor take a look first."

Jin Lan nodded obediently and followed Ye Lin into the house.

Although this matter was related to Chun Xiao, Jin Lan believed that Ye Lin was the last person who was willing to let something happen to Madame SHen. If she remembered correctly, the three years of official service were about to end and the time to return to the capital to resume their duties, why would Ye Lin stir up trouble at this time?

Now that Madame SHen was in a coma, if Ye Lin got a bit more attention, then Madame SHen would be in less danger.

As a result, Jin Lan purposely revealed a helpless and panicked look in front of Ye Lin.

Steward Li waited outside the house. Fortunately, he knew it was to treat his wife, so he specially invited a female doctor. This way, Jin Lan didn't have to avoid him.

Doctor Jiang checked the Madame SHen's pulse again carefully, and the results were pretty much as Doctor Gong had said. It was just that this was Doctor Jiang's first time seeing a patient in Madame SHen, so he was not clear about the Madame SHen's taboo towards snow and irises.

However, Jin Lan was clear that only now did the half stone hanging in her heart fall to the ground.

At least Doctor Gong did not randomly treat someone this time, but just in case, she still decided to use Doctor Jiang's prescription in the end.

Ye Lin instructed the Steward Li to take Doctor Jiang's prescription to get the medicine, while Jin Lan sat back down on the bed and carefully wiped the Madame SHen's hands. The servant girls on the side continued to carry out their duties, and the Shuixie Pavilion returned to its previous orderly state.

Just as Jin Lan was about to heave a sigh of relief, Mu Lan's somewhat high-pitched voice came from outside: "Concubine Shao is here."

Just as she finished speaking, the curtains were lifted, and Concubine Shao walked in with a red lacquered box.

"Why aren't you resting this late? What are you doing here?" Ye Lin's face sank. It was clear that he was dissatisfied with Concubine Shao coming here at this time.

Concubine Shao slightly lowered her head, half squatting down in blessing, her posture beautiful. "I heard that a servant said that my elder sister was sick. Coincidentally, a few days ago, Third Master Lu gifted me an old mountain ginseng, and thought that elder sister might need it as well. That's why he specially brought it to help nourish my sister's body." As she spoke, she carried the box in front of Ye Lin.

His surname was Lu in the Concubine Shao, so Master Lu San must be a relative of the Concubine Shao.

Ye Lin's face was slightly pleased, he nodded, "Stand up."

After Concubine Shao got up, she placed the box on the table. She did not sit down, but walked around Ye Lin and helped him relax her shoulders. Seeing Ye Lin's pleased look, he guessed that Concubine Shao must have done this a lot.

Although there was a crystal bead curtain separating the inside from the outside, and there was a screen in front of Madame SHen's bed, as long as one wanted to, Jin Lan could still see the situation outside through a crack. However, she was not interested in seeing Ye Lin flirting with the Concubine Shao, so she took good care of him without raising her head.

Concubine Shao rubbed it for a while before sshe turned around. Seeing that Ye Lin's expression was not bad, he thought for a bit, then said hesitantly: "Speaking of which, it is quite strange. A few days ago I heard that elder sister's health was good, why did she suddenly faint all of a sudden?"

Faintly hearing the Concubine Shao's mention of the Madame SHen, Jin Lan couldn't help but stop and listen carefully for any movements outside.

Ye Lin did not reply, and continued to meditate.

Seeing that his expression did not change, Concubine Shao became more relaxed, and continued: "I am thinking, perhaps it is because Madam has been sick for a long time, the servants in the house all have a big heart."

There were some words that could only be said so far. After Concubine Shao finished speaking, he did not say anything else and focused on trying to force Ye Lin's hand.

After being silent for a moment, Ye Lin slowly opened his eyes, the expression on his face was indifferent, and even a bit cold: "Madam has always been soft on the ears, if there's anything you can't care about, just help me out."

These sudden words caused Concubine Shao to smile widely, but it also caused Jin Lan to suddenly freeze.

It was still unknown who ordered Chun Xiao to harm Madame SHen, and if Concubine Shao used this matter to extend her hand into the Shuixie Pavilion, even if Madame SHen woke up, she would not have a place to stand.

As Jin Lan thought about this, he came out from the inner room. "Father."

Ye Lin gently nodded his head, but Concubine Shao's face revealed a look of surprise, it was just that the surprise was not in her eyes yet, "So Second Miss is also here."

Jin Lan courteously nodded to her, "Concubine Shao."

"Why did you come out instead of accompanying your mother?" Perhaps because he had thought of something, Ye Lin's tone was somewhat impatient.

Jin Lan pretended not to know anything, "Your daughter came to inform father, mother probably won't be able to wake up like this for a while, the things father told me earlier must be important, and Concubine Shao is also here, if not I would be delayed."

Ye Lin's hand that was holding onto the tea cup paused, and looked at Jin Lan with suspicion: "What's the matter?"

Jin Lan raised his head, and unintentionally swept his gaze across the faintly green Concubine Shao. "Your daughter doesn't know, but I heard from Big Sister Hui Xiu in Mother's room that a Big Sister Chun Xiao came over in the evening with Shuixie Pavilion."

Chun Xiao? Ye Lin's expression suddenly became extremely unsightly, and with a bang, he slammed the teacup onto the table. The silence in the room could be heard as a pin dropped to the ground, and the Concubine Shao beside Ye Lin didn't even dare to pant, as they were afraid that they might get into trouble.

Jin Lan stood straight as before, his lowered eyelids concealing the serenity that flashed past his eyes.

Ye Lin pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and walked out, he crossed the threshold with half a foot, and stopped, "Take good care of your mother, there are some things that should be handled after she has fully recovered!" After saying that, he turned around and left the Shuixie Pavilion without looking back.

Jin Lan lowered his eyebrows and waited for Ye Lin to disappear outside the Shuixie Pavilion door before slowly getting up.

The cooked duck flew away just like that! Concubine Shao's chest moved up and down with all her might, but Ye Lin's words immediately flashed across her mind. Only then did she relax a little, the distortions on her face immediately disappearing, and she slowly revealed a loving smile, "Second Miss is so filial, this wife will be very pleased if she knows about it."

"Aunt is too kind." Jin Lan stepped forward and held the red lacquer box on the table with both hands. He laughed so hard that his eyes curved into a smile and he looked extremely innocent, "How can Lan Er compare to Aunt? So late at night, they even sent over such precious old ginseng. "Mother's prescription requires an old ginseng. With this from Aunt, the effects will definitely be better. I believe that mother will be able to recover soon after eating it."

Concubine Shao's gaze fell on the box in Jin Lan's hands, and the affection on her face almost disappeared. She had even spent a lot of money and effort to get this old mountain ginseng. Even now, she was still unwilling to use it, but this time, she had actually taken advantage of Madame SHen!

Eat, eat, eat until you die! She tightly gripped the handkerchief as she thought bitterly, but didn't reveal anything on her face. She pursed her lips and smiled as she replied, "Second Miss is right. With Second Miss's care and care, this sickness of yours will naturally be cured by medicine."

Jin Lan's smile became even sweeter. "This way, Aunt will be more at ease. The elder sister will always complain to me that Aunt is always busy all day long. Even she can't take care of me."

Concubine Shao's face changed slightly, a look of ferocity flashed past his eyes, but when she saw the faint smile in Jin Lan's eyes, she regained her senses, and forced down her surging anger, and laughed slowly: "That's for the best."

After sitting for a short while, Concubine Shao left the Shuixie Pavilion. Once she left, Bi He carried a few bags of medicinal ingredients into the house.

"Miss, Steward Li has brought back the prescription prescribed by Doctor Jiang."

Jin Lan nodded. "Go and light up the stove in the cubicle. Put it there to fry mother's medicine."

Bi He replied, "Yes." Then she hurried out to not mention it.

It was not until the house had quietened down again that Jin Lan looked at the brightly lit courtyard outside the house, turned around, and walked towards Madame SHen's bedside.

In the end, he was still a step too late.

Although he was the butler of Concubine Shao, Steward Li was Ye Lin's man. As long as Concubine Shao quarreled with her within the Shuixie Pavilion, even if it was only one or two sentences, Steward Li would definitely be aware of it.

At a time like this, he definitely would not allow his Inner Court to catch fire!

Even if he were to be punished as well, the situation he was in would be much better than what was currently happening right now.

Unfortunately … She let out a long sigh.

Although she did not lose all decorum, Concubine Shao must have already noticed her change. She would probably have to think of a way to help her mother recover as soon as possible.
