Han Yan shook his head: "If it's just arrogance, it's not something to be afraid of. Have you done what you were asked to do?"
Ji Lan hurriedly said: "According to the lady's instructions, it has been done... But, will Aunt Mei really do this?"
Han Yan smiled: "She will definitely do this, because she doesn't have time anymore."
In the Furong Garden, Aunt Mei was dressed in a long light blue brocade dress with peach red embroidery embroidered with large blooming peach blossoms. It spread from the hem of the skirt to the waist. The thin waist was tied by a wide water-red belt, which was tied to the waist. A soft bow. The bright and bold colors make the beauty look more charming with fair skin and deep facial features.
Jiaomeng said happily: "Auntie, the master has promised to waive the grounding. Starting today, auntie can walk around the house freely."
When Aunt Mei heard this, a hint of joy appeared on her face, and she quickly asked: "Master, he thought of me." She stretched her neck and looked out the door: "Has master come to Furong Garden?"
Jiao Meng lowered her head and whispered, "It's Fourth Miss Yang who begged for mercy."
Han Yan? Aunt Mei stiffened and her face gradually darkened. It was really surprising that Han Yan showed his kindness to her at this time. It stands to reason that now is the time when she has fallen out of favor. Shouldn't Han Yan avoid her? Showing kindness to a person who has fallen out of favor, unless... The Zhou family has become more and more arrogant in the house.
Thinking of this, my heart tightened and she said to the maid beside me: "Then that bitch is still pestering the master?"
Jiao Meng said cautiously: "Master... has been staying at Davidia Garden in the past few days."
It was expected, but it was still so harsh in my ears. With a "pop" sound, the tea cup was smashed to the ground. Aunt Mei's face turned pale with anger: "Hu Meizi!"
Jiao Meng looked at her master, bit her lips, and made up her mind: "Auntie, if this continues, if there is a pregnancy in the Dragon Tree Garden..."
Where is her status? Aunt Mei said angrily: "Of course I know! But what else can I do now?" The master dotes on that bitch, and she has created a gap in the master's heart because of the incident last time. Now it is not easy to get things back together.
Jiaomeng took a step forward: "Auntie, this is not difficult. As long as auntie gets pregnant with the heir first, she will naturally regain the master's favor. The master is only a young master now. If auntie can give birth to a young master for him, , Zhou will naturally not be able to argue with you."
"That's easy to say." Aunt Mei said angrily: "If I could have given birth, I would have given birth a long time ago. I haven't been able to give birth to a son for so many years. Where can I find a son?"
Jiaomeng looked out the window to confirm that no one was there, and lowered her voice: "I heard that there is a secret medicine in the palace. After taking it, it can cause a woman's pulse to become pregnant. Now she is really forced to do it. If my aunt takes that medicine, , pretend to have a happy pulse, and then pick up a baby from the outside after ten months. It would be even better if my aunt really gets pregnant during this period."
After hearing what Jiao Meng said, Aunt Mei did not show any expression of joy, but just asked: "Where did you hear that?"
Jiaomeng trembled and said, "Xiaohong from the dressing room said it when she was talking to the slave. Xiaohong has a sister who works in the palace, and she has seen a lot of these things."
Seeing that Aunt Mei didn't answer, Jiao Meng whispered again: "Aunt Mei, look..."
"Let me think about it again." Aunt Mei interrupted her. Although she said this, her expression was a little shaken, as if she was really starting to care about this idea. Jiao Meng stopped talking and swept up the broken porcelain tiles on the floor.
At the same time, Ji Lan found Xiao Hong with a bag of broken silver. The woman dressed as a slave looked panicked and only wore a thin coat that had been washed yellow. She quickly lowered her head when she saw Ji Lan.
Ji Lan put the broken silver in her hand: "Remember, this matter cannot be known to others, otherwise you will die and no one will save you."
The slave girl trembled when she heard this, but still replied firmly: "Xiaohong doesn't know anything."
Ji Lan nodded with satisfaction: "Hurry up and take the money to treat your father."
The peaceful days passed quickly, and it was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.
On this day last year, my mother was still there, but this year she has changed. However, the Zhuang Mansion was not affected by the death of the mistress at all. Instead, it became extremely lively because of Zhou's intervention.
Different from the Davidia Garden with lanterns and colorful decorations, there is nothing in the Qingqiu Garden. The only Spring Festival couplets were written by Han Yan on red paper: Spring rain, silk and silk embroidery all things, red plum blossoms moisten the country and the mountains: spring is full of joy.
Ji Lan thought the Spring Festival couplets were too tacky, but Shu Hong liked them very much. Han Yan smiled and said nothing. In the past, when her mother was still alive, the Spring Festival couplets she wrote often had a noble meaning, but also contained a hint of sadness. Han Yan knew that her mother was suffering, but now that she was in this embattled situation, her mood became different. All the lofty meanings and far-reaching talents are lies. It is better to be a common person and live a happy life to be real.
I'm afraid it will be even harder to just live happily. How many people were eyeing her position as the legitimate daughter, and Brother Ming was not favored by Zhuang Shiyang. It could be said that apart from her understanding of the future, she had no leverage.
The current thing is to use your knowledge of the future to maximize your profits.
Zhuang Shiyang asked the servant to send a message for Han Yan to go to the main room to talk. Han Yan took Shu Hong with him. As soon as he arrived at the main room, he saw Zhou and Zhuang Yushan were there. Zhuang Shiyang saw her coming in and said in a deep voice: "Yan'er, tomorrow's language My daughter is going to the temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, so you should go with her."
Saying the exact same words, it was like going back in time, and returning to the moment in her previous life when she was kidnapped by bandits. Han Yan clenched her fists, feeling an inexplicable excitement in her heart. Tomorrow would be the turning point of her life. Whether she could avoid it or not, it was up to her whether it would be a blessing or a curse.
Han Yan raised her head, and Mrs. Zhou was looking at her earnestly. Seeing that Han Yan did not answer immediately, she continued: "I and the master are preparing for the New Year's banquet at home tomorrow and cannot follow. Yu'er has a daughter. The master is really worried." , if Fourth Miss can go with her, she will also have someone to take care of her."
Han Yan sneered in her heart, wondering what she had answered in the previous life. As soon as Zhuang Shiyang made this suggestion, he immediately agreed, and even discussed the preparations with Zhuang Yushan.
"It turns out that Yan'er is so powerful. Sister Yushan doesn't let the guards follow her when she leaves the house. She only needs Yan'er to follow her to feel at ease."
As soon as Han Yan's words left her mouth, Mrs. Zhou knew that she had said something wrong. The sarcasm in Han Yan's words made her angry, but she had no way to refute, so she had to turn her eyes to Zhuang Shiyang for help.
Zhuang Shiyang's face sank: "She is your sister, why can't sisters take care of each other? Needless to say, you and Yu'er will set off together tomorrow morning!"
Han Yan lowered his head and said, "I understand, father."
Seeing this, Zhuang Yushan smiled proudly, glanced at Zhou, ran to Zhuang Shiyang and started acting coquettishly. Recently, after listening to Zhou's words, she became closer and closer to Zhuang Shiyang to please her, and she also received Zhuang Shiyang's love and many rewards.
