Legitimate Daughter of the Noble Family

"Miss, the bird's nest has been stewed." Mu Lan held onto the Chicken Wing Wood, Vermillion Bird Flower Food Box and stood outside the door, then lifted the curtain a little, but she did not come in.

Jin Lan was lying sideways on the white plum blossom couch, one hand holding his forehead and the other holding a book. A string of Jade Seal Stone buddhist beads were tied loosely around his white wrist, causing his skin to be as white as snow. After flipping over a page, he whispered, "Come in."

After Mu Lan heard the noise, she lifted the curtain and entered the room. Although it was Jin Lan who looked lazy, her eyes were staring at the books with interest, as though she was not even blinking an eye. She took out a porcelain bowl of the official kiln's sweet white glaze and told him: "Miss, should we rest for a while? Seeing how the heavens are looking at books like this, I'm afraid it hurts my eyes. "

Jin Lan's hand that was holding the book hung at her waist, she glanced at his tightly wrapped right ankle, then turned her head towards Mu Lan and said with a helpless expression: "With my current appearance, I can only stay in my room to read and practice." As she spoke, she tried to sit up and accidentally pulled on her injured ankle. The sharp pain made her unable to restrain herself from inhaling a breath of cold air.

Seeing that, Mu Lan immediately stepped forward to support her, and carefully helped her up from the soft couch. She saw a trace of paleness on her face due to the pain, and beads of cold sweat on the tip of her nose.

"Big Sis lost her consciousness, and it wasn't on purpose." Jin Lan picked up the bird's nest that Mu Lan brought up, and lightly stirred it with a spoon, eating it slowly.

That day at Yunxiu House, when she was being blown by the wind, her eyes were covered by a veil, and before she could even react, a heart-tearing and lung-splitting scream came from beside her ears. She recognized that voice, it was Ye Jinwei. Inwardly anxious, she raised her hand to push aside the curtain, but to her surprise, there was a huge force that pushed her slim body against it. She instantly retreated a few steps and heavily crashed into the corner of the room. A blue and white glazed vase fell to the ground and landed on her right ankle. It immediately swelled up like a steamed bun, making it impossible for her to move.

Bi He anxiously carried her back to the Lan Garden, and sent for a doctor. Fortunately, the injury was not light, so Madame SHen knew about it and sealed her feet.

After seven or eight days, the swelling on his ankles had almost subsided, but it was still painful to watch.

"How does the lady feel today? Madame said yesterday that if the young lady's pain is still severe, I would like to invite the Doctor Gong to take a look. " While Mu Lan was cleaning up the Xuan paper scattered on the paper, he said noisily.

"No need for that. I feel better than I did a few days ago. I think I'll be fine after taking a few more sets of medicine." Jin Lan looked at Mu Lan who was busying at the side, this girl had just been transferred here to support Wan Ju's lack of children, she was pleasing to the eyes, and her personality was also honest and hardworking. At first glance, she seemed to have a little bit of Wan Ju's shadow.

When she thought of Wan Ju, her hands paused, and she couldn't help but panic in her heart. It had been almost a month since Wan Ju had left the house, but there was no news at all. Borrowing the fact that her body wasn't well enough to leave the house to recuperate, Mama Tang dashed through the Yangzhou City daily. Occasionally, she would send back a few letters with the intention of telling her to give up.

How could she not know that at this point of time, Wan Ju was probably not in a good situation. But a voice kept insisting in her heart, in the dead of night, Wan Ju's bright eyes would always light up in her mind. Therefore, as long as there was no specific news, she would believe that Wan Ju was still alive!

"Miss, girl?" Mu Lan's mouth was dry from talking for a long time, when she suddenly realized that her young lady looked to be in a trance, and her relaxed heart tensed up again. She hurriedly asked: "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

The corners of her mouth raised up slightly, "No, I'm just thinking why is Bi He not here?"

Mu Lan looked at Jin Lan weirdly, "Today is the first day of the month, when Big Sister Bi He went to the Bright Autumn Pavilion, before she left, she specially asked the young lady about it. How come the young lady doesn't remember?"

"I forgot." Jin Lan smiled slightly, then suddenly recalled something, and immediately asked: "Wasn't this monthly test sent by Su Xin? Why did you want Bi He to go and retrieve it today? "

Mu Lan shook her head, "This servant isn't too clear either, it's just that after hearing that First Miss is sick, and that Aunt has to take care of his affairs and take care of them, I was too busy to ask Big Sister Bi He to take care of it."

Jin Lan frowned, then sneered in his heart. Concubine Shao is really too shameless, she can't even be bothered to maintain her most basic appearances? What good would it do her? With the Concubine Shao's personality, if there were no benefits, she would definitely not act rashly.

She lowered her head and thought, then raised the curtain on the outside, causing Bi He's figure to appear in front of the door.

"Miss." Bi He's face was dyed red, her forehead was covered with beads of perspiration, one glance was enough to tell that the weather outside was extremely hot. She knelt towards Jin Lan and took the bag that she had been holding with both hands, "This is our courtyard's monthly allowance for next month, a total of eight taels of silver."

Jin Lan glanced at the purse in her hand, but didn't accept it. He indifferently said, "Put it in the cage."

Bi He was startled, then immediately met with her eyes that were as black as ink, as she replied: "Yes." However, she didn't move an inch.

Jin Lan ate a mouthful of bird's nest and pushed the bowl away, then took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth. Seeing that Bi He was still standing at his original position, he immediately raised her brows, "What's wrong?"

Bi He hesitated for a while, before speaking vaguely: "Miss, when we were passing through the garden earlier, this servant accidentally overheard a few Little Maid's words … They say that there have been some rumors going around. "

Jin Lan frowned, and looked at Bi He in puzzlement, "What rumors?"

"This servant isn't sure, but this servant has brought Little Maid back who knows about the internal affairs. Does Miss want to meet him?"

Jin Lan pondered for a moment before nodding. "Let her in."

Bi He turned around and went out to bring the Little Maid in.

The Little Maid looked to be about eight or nine years old, and shshewas well-built, with a round face. It was likely that she was a servant girl in the garden who had been exposed to the sun and wind, and her skin was darker than the average maid. Upon entering, he knelt down and kowtowed to Jin Lan, saying with a trembling voice: "This servant, Cui Ya greets Second Miss."

Jin Lan scrutinized Cui Ya for a while, then said with a smile, "Stand up first."

Cui Ya nervously stood up, her eyes flickered as she glanced at Jin Lan, and discovered that this Second Miss was around the same age as her, with a beautiful face, and a sweet smile on her lips, making people want to get close to her. Thinking of this, his trembling body gradually slowed down.

Seeing her standing there in a daze, Bi He did not say anything, and stared straight at Jin Lan. He was not happy, so he opened his mouth and coldly said: "Cui Ya, hurry up and tell me everything you said in the garden!"

Cui Ya's shoulders shrunk, and she looked at Bi He timidly. "These words are not meant for me, I have also unintentionally overheard my elder sisters say that First Miss's illness is very strange. Every time Second Miss comes to the Yunxiu House, First Miss will have an illness, and it might be because of Second Miss. She even said that the proof is that Second Miss fell into the water a few days ago and when she woke up, she looked like a different person. Her voice became lower and lower as she spoke. Seeing Jin Lan's expression suddenly change, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and stop talking.

When Bi He heard the rumors, she was so anxious that she did not think much before bringing Cui Ya back to him. This time, when she saw Jin Lan's pale face, she immediately regretted it. What a fool!

She quickly poured a cup of hot tea for Jin Lan. "Miss, how about a cup of tea first?"

Jin Lan sat there unmoving, as if he could not hear Bi He's voice. His entire face was as cold as ice, and the hand under his sleeves was trembling uncontrollably, but in his heart, he was laughing out of anger. No wonder he suddenly called Bi He to his Bright Autumn Pavilion to receive her orders, it was all because of this idea!
