Lan Shuiyuan's face turned pale, and his heart skipped a beat.
There is clearly a maid next to him in the yard outside, but why... no one came to inform his father when he came over
Just now, how much did he hear
Just when she was panicking, she heard the cold voice of Lan Shilang again, "Do you think it's useful to ask him? I tell you, don't cause any trouble to me. Jin's decision to be reduced to a concubine will not Change. You two should stay in your own yard and reflect, and you are not allowed to meet your uncle again. Otherwise, you will never leave Lan Mansion for the rest of your life."
Lan Shuiyuan and Lan Shuitian both lowered their heads slightly, but felt relieved in their hearts.
From what Lan Shilang said, I was afraid that he only heard the last words before he came in.
Jin Xiong glared at Minister Lan angrily. After a moment, he flicked his sleeves and sneered, "Do you think I'm happy to come? Lan Mingliang, don't think that you are so great just because you are the Minister of Justice. Don't you just climb up now?" Are you disdainful of us because you want to repair the palace? I’m telling you, I’m not happy to come to this shabby place like yours. There’s no need to send you away, I’ll leave on my own.”
After he said that, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left the room.
"Uncle..." Lan Shuiyuan and the other two called out in low voices, but Jin Xiong had already taken advantage of the quarrel with Lan Shilang to walk out of the Lan Mansion and quickly disappeared.
Waiter Lan shouted to the door, "Steward Liu, see the guests off."
After he finished speaking, he turned around, stared at his two daughters fiercely, and said in a deep voice, "You two, don't waste your efforts. This family matter is decided by the madam, and no one can change it, let alone your incompetent one." My uncle, don’t bother you when the time comes, do you hear me?”
"I heard it." The two of them responded politely and aggrievedly.
Seeing this, Minister Lan finally sighed lowly, and his voice softened a bit, "You don't have to worry too much. Although the Jin family was reduced to a concubine, they still need to pay for the food and clothing. Wait until the madam's anger subsides, and then dad can talk about it."
No matter what, he was also involved in what happened last night.
Lan Shilang said, his face still a little ashamed, he turned around and walked away in a hurry.
Lan Shuiyuan raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly. Sure enough, the father still has feelings for the mother, so as long as they deal with Lan Shuiqing, the family can live happily together.
but…
"Second sister, the maids outside seem to think that we sisters have lost power, but we take it seriously." Lan Shuitian took a step forward and kept her voice low.
Lan Shuiyuan nodded, "No one even announced Dad's arrival. Huh, these people were given by the Madam. They must be as short-sighted as her. It's a pity that all the maids who used to follow us have been replaced." Otherwise, we wouldn’t have to tie our hands like this.”
"Well, it seems that we have to be more cautious in our actions in the future. There is no guarantee that there won't be a traitor among these people. Just leave the outside matters to my uncle, and we can just stay peaceful and be good for a few days."
The two talked and sneered a few times.
That night, the young and old Jin family members were beaten up by the dowager, demoted to concubines, and sent to the most secluded Jingyuan in Lan Mansion. There were only two maids serving him.
This kind of thing naturally spread to the outside world to some extent, but people began to talk about the reason why Jin was demoted to a concubine.
However, compared to the Jin family, what attracted more attention in the Lan Mansion was the marriage between Lan Shuiqing and Ye Qingnan. Many people think that Kim will end up like this because of this incident. After all, the Wu family has been oppressed for more than ten years, and now that it is in the sky, the Jin family will naturally have nothing to gain.
It's just that from their point of view, this kind of thing is not such an unexpected ending. What's more, Jin was originally a concubine with a very humble status. Many people scorned her when she was promoted to an equal wife.
Therefore, the Jin family's incident only caused a few ripples in everyone's hearts, but could not create any waves.
And that night, something happened.
I thought that after the Jin family was overthrown, I would have the opportunity to take advantage of her. It is said that I stole the most valuable bracelet of the Dowager while she was in a coma. The madam was so angry that she was dragged out and beaten. Unexpectedly, Cai Xin was weak and was beaten to death within a few blows.
When he heard the news, Lan Shuiqing's hands that were sewing clothes paused for a moment, and then continued without saying anything, letting Yanzhi relay today's news with excitement.
"Miss, did Cai Xin really steal the Madam's bracelet? Does she have the courage?"
Lan Shuiqing smiled, bit off the thread on his hand, and put it back into the sewing basket. Then he shook off the robe in his hand twice and said with a smile, "Caixin is usually very courageous. It's not surprising. ..." The topic stopped here, and she quickly diverted Rouge's attention, "Do you think the color of this robe is a bit dark?"
As expected, Yanzhi immediately pursed her lips and smiled, "Miss, you don't care if it's deep or not. Anyway, I think this slave will like it. Prince Nan will definitely like it."
Lan Shuiqing's mouth twitched, and he folded the robe and put it away, "Who said it was made for him?"
"Hey, is it possible that the young lady made it for the master? But the master... his stature... doesn't seem to fit well."
"..." Lan Shuiqing glared at her fiercely, "Didn't you say it's very late and you want to sleep? Why don't you go quickly?"
What a talker.
But... She met Nannan several times, and the clothes he wore were a bit dark. The dark clothes looked really good on him, and there was a hint of chilling air, giving people a strong sense of oppression and an aura that was hard to ignore.
So when choosing fabrics, she chose dark materials without thinking.
However, she felt that he would look very good in light-colored clothes. His figure and complexion seemed to be made for all kinds of clothes.
Well, why not make a light-colored one next time and let him try them all to see which one he likes.
Just as she was thinking about it, there was a gurgling sound in her ears. When she turned her head, she saw Yan Zhi looking at her teasingly.
Lan Shuiqing glared at her angrily, "What are you doing?"
"Miss, I'm not sleepy at all now. I'm very excited and can chat with you."
"But I want to chat with her, what should I do?" As soon as Rouge finished speaking, a deep voice suddenly sounded from the window sill here.
Rouge was stunned, and when she raised her head, she saw a familiar figure on the window sill. Her body shrank subconsciously, and she immediately saluted, "I have met the prince."
Nannan jumped down from the window sill and walked up to Lan Shuiqing.
Lan Shuiqing thought of the robe she had just put away, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't see it.
"How did you come?"
"Didn't I tell you yesterday? I will send someone to protect you."
