  n)

  Mingzhu, who had been living in this household with an awkward identity and was forced to lower her head, finally found a sense of balance when Yulian, who was around the same age as her but of a lower status, arrived. Mingzhu was greatly satisfied that Yulian treated her with utmost respect, and Yulian, who had already been favored by Miss Li, felt grateful and naturally became obedient to Mingzhu. As a result, the two quickly became good friends.

  Mingzhu's eyes swept past Lin Lan, directly ignoring her, and walked straight to the front of Mrs. Han, smiling and curtsying, sweetly saying: "Mingzhu greets Aunt."

  Yu Lian looked very stiff and her movements were also rigid. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito: "Yu Lian greets Second Aunt."

  Han Qiu Yue smiled and asked them to get up, telling Cui Zhi to show them their seats.

  Logically, Mingzhu and Yulian should sit below Linlan, but Mingzhu raised the corner of her mouth, moved the embroidered stool brought by Cuizhi to beside Han Shi's body, and sat down next to Han Shi.

  Mr. Han's eyes slightly narrowed, showing a hint of displeasure, but seeing his daughter so rarely happy, he sighed silently and followed her. He turned to ask Yu Lian: "Are you getting used to living here?"

  Yu Lian hastily nodded and replied softly: "I'm used to it."

  Han looked at Yu Lian's cautious and shrinking appearance, and was displeased in his heart. Wasn't he supposed to let Eldest Sister choose a clever and outstanding one? This Yu Lian's appearance was not bad, but this temperament...

  "Auntie, let Yu Lian's sister live with me! My place is very spacious." Mingzhu hugged Han Shi's arm and coquettishly asked.

  Han smiled and said: "Yu Lian lives there, isn't Big Aunt going to be lonely again?"

  Mingzhu was very disappointed. She muttered: "Then after Eldest Aunt returns, let Yu Lian sister live with me."

  "We'll talk about it later!"

  Lin Lan wondered: "Auntie has returned, why didn't Yu Lian follow her back? What does the old witch want to do by keeping her here? A daughter from a good family leaving her hometown... (thinking about it makes me anxious) It's just a marriage that can bring peace of mind, but why not arrange a good marriage for Li's daughter? Instead, they're going to great lengths for Auntie's niece. The more Lin Lan thought about it, the more she felt it wasn't right. With Yu Lian's conditions, marrying Ming Ze as a concubine would be just barely acceptable... Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind - could it be that they want to push her into his room?"

  Lin Lan couldn't help but secretly size up Yu Lian, her small melon-shaped face, big almond eyes, and delicate features. However, the way she moved was somewhat petty and narrow-minded, making her a standard little wife material. Lin Lan made up her mind that if this was the old witch's arrangement for her son's concubine, then so be it. But if she tried to push Yu Lian into her own room, sorry, she would have to deal with Lin Lan's wrath and get sent to Li Ze's room instead.

  Li Ming and his wife arrived late, both with somewhat strange expressions. Ding Ruo Xuan seemed to be angry, while Ming was being extremely cautious, constantly checking Ding Ruo Xuan's face.

  Han Qiuyue also noticed something was off, but she's been through this before. She saw more than Lin Lan did, and although Yu Yan had a straight face, her cheeks were flushed, and her own son looked like he'd done something wrong. Han Qiuyue couldn't help but glare at her son fiercely. What was wrong with his wife? Rushing around like that, delaying the time to pay respects to the elderly lady, what a nuisance.

  Everyone is here, Han Qiuyue leads the team, and they head to Chaohui Hall.

  This kind of greeting is really boring, it's always just those few words. Fortunately, there was no Lin Lan incident, it was just like attending a boring political class.

  "I heard that there are several maidservants in Ming Rong's household who are actually Ye's?" The old lady suddenly said.

  He immediately pulled Lin Lan back from her out-of-body experience and returned her to the ground.

  "Grandma is asking you a question!"

  Lin Lan stood up and replied, "Not many, just Old Mother Zhou and Gui Shu. Ming Rong has been in Feng An for three years, and it was always Old Mother Zhou and Gui Shu who took care of him. Ming Rong is used to them, so his grandmother let the two follow him to serve him."

  "Second Auntie, aren't the Silver Willow and Jade Rong by your side also from the Ye family?" Mingzhu said leisurely, raising an eyebrow with a look of watching a good show.

  Lin Lan smiled slightly: "These two girls were bought on Mingyun Road, and the sales contracts are still in my hands!"

  Lin Lan didn't know what the old lady meant by asking this question, but she didn't like being passive. After waiting for others to speak out and then covering up, she asked: "Grandma, do you think there's anything wrong?"

  The old lady looked at Lin Lan with a complex expression and asked: "What do you think?"

  Lin Lan said, "The Ye family is Mingyun's maternal family. Since his maternal grandparents only have one grandson like Mingyun, they naturally dote on him very much. Sending a few maidservants to serve Mingyun is also reasonable. Moreover, gifts from elders cannot be refused. Daughter-in-law, remember that in the family rules drafted by grandmother yesterday, there was such a provision."

  The old lady's eyes were heavy: "Grandma didn't say it was inappropriate, but I heard that Zhou Mama had been serving Ye Lao Tai for decades. Presumably, Ye Lao Tai wouldn't be used to being without Zhou Mama either."

  "Isn't that so? Ming Rong needs someone to serve him, and there are plenty of people at home, how can he take someone from his grandmother's side?"

  Lin Lan smiled and said, "This is enough to show how much Grandmother loves Mingyun. Let alone an old servant who has been serving by her side for decades, even if it's a matter of life and death, she would be willing to do so. Doesn't Grandmother also love her grandchildren dearly? She just shows it in a different way, being strict on the surface but loving in her heart."

  The old lady smiled slightly and didn't continue with this topic. Everyone chatted for a few more sentences before the old lady dismissed them to disperse.

  Lin Lan's mind was heavy with thoughts, and the old lady would not ask such questions without reason. The old witch chimed in, clearly trying to get Zhou Ma to leave. Sending Zhou Ma away would be like cutting off one of her arms. To say the least, she couldn't do without Zhou Ma now. With Zhou Ma around, at least she didn't have to worry about problems arising in her own courtyard. This was either the old witch's doing or the old lady's own madness. Since they had set their minds on this, they wouldn't give up easily. She needed to be careful in her response.

  In order not to worry Zhou's mother, Lin Lan didn't tell her about this matter.

  After dinner, they returned to the Luoxia Cottage. After washing up, Li Mingyu sat Lin Lan on his lap and asked her what she had done today. Lin Lan just mentioned this matter.

  Li Mingyun sneered, "No need to guess, it must be the old witch's doing. How many days has Grandmother been here? What can she understand about the situation in the mansion? She understands nothing. I'm afraid everything she knows is from the old witch's mouth. The old witch wants to use Grandmother's hands to deal with us, but this courtyard is not something she can easily penetrate, and it makes her uneasy."

  "What if grandma was really used by her?" Lin Lan worried. She couldn't help but roll her eyes and said with a hum: "If they say one more word today, I'll really be unable to bear it and retort, the Ye family doesn't want it, but the Ye family's silver is being used happily, those with backbone should return the whole Zhuangzi shop to the Ye family!"

  Li Ming said with a loud laugh, "If this gets out, Grandma will be so angry she'll spit blood. But it's not worth it, we'll definitely be guilty of disobeying our elders. We mustn't fall for the old witch's trick."

  Lin Lan's mouth twitched slightly: "I just want to say a few words of comfort here, don't worry, at critical moments, I can still keep my cool."

  "Actually, everyone has weaknesses. Don't look at grandma being strict, she also has weaknesses." Li Mingyun gently stroked her hair.

  Lin Lan's face grew hot again as she thought of her promise that morning. She secretly encouraged herself, there was nothing to be afraid of.

  "As long as I find her weakness, it will be easy to deal with her..." Looking at her face slowly rising red clouds, Li Ming couldn't help but feel his heart racing. Actually, he had been distracted all day, thinking about her promise, and couldn't wait for nightfall.

  Lin Lan nodded absent-mindedly, with a humble and receptive expression: "I will observe carefully."

  Li Mingyun gently grasped her chin, forcing her to lift her head, and gazed into those bright, sparkling eyes that shone like water. His heart skipped a beat as he softly said: "Don't just focus on observing others' weaknesses, be careful to conceal your own weaknesses, got it?"

  Lin Lan thought for a moment and said seriously: "My only weakness is... I have no weaknesses."

  Li Mingyun smiled wryly, his dark eyes gleaming with a hint of mockery: "Really not modest at all, do you really think you don't have any weaknesses?"

  Lin Lan saw the danger signal in his eyes, couldn't help but want to run, but was tightly hugged by him, had no choice but to surrender, lowered her head and nodded: "My weakness is also only known..."

  Li Ming Yun's eyebrows rose, and he still had a hint of self-awareness. He turned her small face around, kissed her soft cheek, and asked in a low voice, "Does what you said this morning count?"

  Lin Lan's conditioned reflex was to shake her head, but seeing his fervent and expectant gaze, she nodded slightly instead.

  Li Ming allowed a stifled smile, picked her up horizontally and held her in his arms, Lin Lan hid in his embrace, blushing bright red.

  This time Li Ming didn't give her any chance to escape, as soon as they got on the bed, he first took off her top, Lin Lan was like a snow-white dumpling about to be cooked, hugging the quilt and trembling. How can he be so direct! The lights are still not turned off!

  He himself also took off his underclothes, and his scalding chest stuck to her, Lin Lan was like being scalded, abandoned the battlefield, and quickly crawled into another quilt.

  "Time for bed..."

  Li Ming Yan stretched out his arm, pulled her over along with the quilt, and in a flash, stripped off her quilt, grabbed her hands and pinned them above her head, covering her entire body. Who knows if other couples are also this troublesome, but good things come to those who wait, and it's also quite enjoyable.

  "I want to watch..." Lee Ming-yuan's voice became hoarse because of the rush of blood to his vocal cords.

  Lin Lan was so angry and humiliated that she wanted to bang her head against a wall, shouting: "No way."

  Li Mingyun's mouth curled up with a sly smile: "That can't be helped."

  Lin Lan saw that it wouldn't work and sobbed: "Not considering my feelings at all, this makes me very nervous..."

  Li Mingyun reluctantly got out of bed halfway and turned off the bedside lamp to take care of her emotions.

  The room suddenly fell into darkness, and Lin Lan felt a slight sense of security.

  His kiss started with light touches, then fell densely, his lips setting her body ablaze wherever they went, burning more fiercely by the second.

  That numb and empty feeling made Lin Lan feel as if she was suspended in mid-air, floating on the surface of a spring, and all she could do was tightly grasp his arm, as if grasping a lifeline.

  "It's so hard for me..."

  Li Mingyun's heart skipped a beat, "You're not having stomach pain again, are you?"

  Please spare some pink diamonds and vote for Ziyue, the outcome will be decided in the last few tens of minutes, thank you!
