Chapter 41: Giving You an Opportunity

  ♂?,,

  Lin Lan started with the most basic food supplements, teaching her how to adjust her body through food supplements in all four seasons of a year, and Ye Xiang'er took note of each one.

  Looking at the serious and studious, seemingly proper Ye Xiang'er, Lin Lan would not use simple thoughts to guess a person with complex thoughts. She just thought that it was a bit depressing, and before even arriving in the capital, she had to start facing all these flowers and grasses. Once in the capital, who knows how many troubles awaited her? According to Chen Ziyan, Li Mingyun was very popular among the young ladies in the capital. Not only did Lin Lan have to help him deal with the old witch at home (this was the nickname Lin Lan had given to his unconventional future mother-in-law; Li Mingyun had nodded deeply upon hearing it, thinking it was a very fitting title), but she also had to be a diligent gardener and help him get rid of all these flowers and grasses. Lin Lan pondered whether she should discuss with Li Mingyun the compensation for getting rid of one of them, or else she would have no motivation!

  "Alright, sister-in-law, I'll take my leave then." With the lesson coming to an end, Ye Xiang'er quietly gathered her things and stood up to bid farewell. A handkerchief silently fell to the ground.

  Lin Lan's heart slightly stirred, pretending not to see, smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, have a good trip."

  Ye Xiner's lips slightly curved upwards, her smile profound and unfathomable, her willow waist swaying gently as she walked away.

  "Silver Willow, pick up the handkerchief on the ground and return it to Second Miss," Lin Lan instructed. Because Ye Xiang'er had bought a golden hairpin with Jade's money, in order not to make things difficult for Jade, Lin Lan would have Silver Willow attend to her in the room at this time every day, and no matter what, she had to give Silver Willow an opportunity to gain some benefits.

  Yin Liu picked up the handkerchief and asked in some confusion: "Just now, didn't Young Mistress see it clearly?"

  Lin Lan smiled and said: "Aren't I trying to get an opportunity here?"

  Yin Liu didn't react in time and looked around blankly: "What opportunity."

  Lin Lan smiled and said: "Go and you'll know?" As she spoke, she buried her head again to start messing with the medicine ingredients, muttering to herself: "Not enough pearl powder, still short of ice fragments..."

  Before long, Yinliu returned and placed a bangle in front of Linlan, suppressing a smile: "So this is the opportunity that Young Madam was talking about?"

  Lin Lan took the bangle and examined it under the oil lamp, clicking her tongue in admiration: "Really generous, to give away such a valuable jade bangle."

  Yinliu smiled and said: "Such an expensive bangle, I can't use it, Young Madam, you'd better keep it."

  Although Lin Lan loved wealth, she wasn't greedy to the point of taking even the gifts given by her servants. She glared at her: "This is Second Miss's heartfelt gift, isn't it good to keep it as dowry?"

  Yin Liu's face turned slightly red as she muttered shyly: "What is the young mistress saying? What dowry..."

  "Hurry up and take it back, be smarter next time, you won't miss out on good things." Lin Lan returned the bangle to Yin Liu.

  Yin Liu said in surprise: "The slave has already gotten this good fortune and is feeling uneasy at heart."

  Lin Lan smiled and said: "What's there to be uneasy about? It was she who willingly gave it, not like we asked her for it."

  "But one's hand is short." Yin Liu was afraid that Second Miss would make some unreasonable demands of her.

  "Cut... saying stupid is really stupid, some things are clear in your heart and that's enough, not accepting others' help makes you uneasy, and you'll think of other ways. Rather than letting her find someone else, it's better to find someone yourself. This way, whatever she thinks, I can know about it at the first time, killing two birds with one stone." Lin Lan patiently pointed out the way.

  Yin Liu thought for a moment and suddenly said, "The meaning of the young madam is... The second miss wants to use me, so I'll pretend to let her use me, in order for the young madam to better deal with the second..."

  Lin Lan sighed softly and said in a low voice: "It can only be understood but cannot be expressed. Yezi was wandering"

  Two people whispered and laughed.

  "What's so funny?" Li Mingyun returned to his room and saw the master and servant laughing with ill intentions, his scalp felt a chill.

  Lin Lan said with disdain: "Anyway, it's none of my business."

  "It's best if it has nothing to do with me."

  Yinliu hastily got up to make tea for the young master, while Yurong asked: "Today outside is windy, the boatman said it will rain tonight, should we change into a thicker quilt in the evening?"

  Lin Lan glanced at the two thin blankets on the bed and said, "Don't change them, go get a thicker one. If it really gets cool tonight, we'll use the thick one."

  Her expression didn't seem suspicious at all, and she went to get a thick blanket from the bed and put it on top.

  Li Mingyuan visibly let out a sigh of relief and took over the tea from Yin Liuqu, savoring it slowly.

  Lin Lan handed a new prescription to Li Mingyun: "Several medicines are missing, when the boat can dock, I need to go ashore and buy some."

  Li Ming allowed a rough glance: "The day after tomorrow! The day after tomorrow the boat will arrive at Suzhou Wharf, I also want to get off and take a walk."

  Have you arrived in Suzhou? It's really fast! Lin Lan came with enthusiasm and sat down opposite Li Ming, with a smile that had a few hints of flattery: "I heard that the scenery in Suzhou is very beautiful. Are you going to go ashore and take a walk?"

  Li Mingyu raised an eyebrow and looked at her, saying lightly: "I'm not here to have fun, I'm visiting a friend and buying medicine."

  Lin Lan pouted in disappointment and said sulkily: "Don't take me, I'll go by myself."

  "No way, we're only staying at Suzhou dock for one day. If we don't return on time and delay the journey, what should we do?" Li Mingyu refused seriously.

  Lin Lan said sullenly: "I'm not a three-year-old who doesn't know the time, I'm worried that if I go to visit friends, I won't be back on time!"

  Li Mingyu hesitated, and Lin Lan had been staying in the cabin almost every day since boarding, busy with this and that, and rarely went to the deck.

  Seeing him wavering, Lin Lan ventured again: "If you're still not at ease, then let Wen Shan follow me, after all, Wen Shan will surely be trustworthy."

  Li Mingyu looked at her expectant eyes and couldn't bear it, so he said: "I'll take you to visit a friend."

  Visiting friends? Lin Lan is not interested.

  Li Mingyun paused for a moment and then said: "My friend lives in Huqiu, where the most beautiful scenery of Suzhou is located."

  Tiger Hill? Lin Lan had browsed the beautiful scenery of Tiger Hill online in her previous life, and indeed it was a place with pleasant scenery. Suddenly, she burst out laughing: "It's settled then, no backing out."

  At night, it indeed started raining, first with a patter, hitting the hull of the ship, like scattering beans, and later it was a heavy downpour, the ship's body couldn't stop shaking, the noise was frightening.

  Lin Lan was kept awake by the noise, and through the mosquito net, she saw Li Mingyun lying motionless on the couch, and couldn't help but admire his ability to sleep soundly despite the commotion.

  She pulled the quilt tightly around her body, feeling a bit cold. Lin Lan was about to pull over the thick quilt that Yu Rong had put aside to cover herself when she heard a rustling sound. She quickly closed her eyes, held her breath and concentrated.

  Only Li Mingyun got down from the couch and crept over in her direction.

  What does he want to do? Lin Lan's heart tightened, and her eyes opened a slit.

  Dimly visible, the mosquito net was gently lifted, and Li Mingyun leaned in.

  Lin Lan clenched the blanket in her hand tightly, thinking to herself that if he dared to pounce on her, she would directly kick his vital parts.

  His hand reached out, reached out... Lin Lan's whole body was tense, like a fully drawn bowstring, waiting to be released.

  His hand, however, reached over her body and touched the quilt behind her.

  Is he cold and wants to take away the quilt? What about her then? She's also cold...

  He did take the quilt away, just as Lin Lan was about to speak up, he unfolded the quilt and covered her with it, even helping her tuck in the corners, whispering softly: "You sleep so soundly." Then he retreated and lay back down on the couch to continue sleeping.

  Lin Lan was stunned for a full half minute, and it turned out that he was afraid she would get cold, so he added a quilt for her... She had been narrow-minded just now, but this guy still knew how to take care of people, hum! She had taken care of him for so many days, and occasionally taking care of her was also justified, with no guilt. As for whether he would be cold? He had been forced to eat a lot of tonics recently, how could he be afraid of the cold? Lin Lan thought about this, feeling at ease and contentedly hugging the quilt and closing her eyes.
