♂?，，

  It's almost there~

  This time, however, she swaggered in through the main gate, and as soon as she entered, a servant from the Ye household led her through a carved wooden screen with a pattern of pine and cranes, past three doors, before finally seeing the hanging flower door, where two maidservants in simple but elegant attire were waiting.

  "Young master, the old lady is waiting for you in the upper house." A round-faced and fair-skinned maid curtsied.

  Li Mingyu nodded slightly: "It's all in the past."

  The round-faced maid hastily said: "Madam only invited young master over."

  Li Mingyu slightly raised an eyebrow, and his gaze at Lin Lan had a hint of worry.

  Lin Lan smiled indifferently: "Then go first!"

  She was very self-aware, and it was impossible for the old lady to accept her so easily. Li Xiūcái wanted to take her back to the capital, this was the first hurdle, if he couldn't even get past this... did that mean the contract would be cancelled? If that were the case, then it would be good, it would save her a lot of trouble, and besides, Li Xiūcái couldn't say she wasn't keeping her promise. Thinking this way, Lin Lan's face naturally revealed a hint of joy.

  Her secret delight fell into Li Mingyun's eyes. Li Mingyun's eyes turned cold, his face was like ice, and he said indifferently: "I'll come to you later."

  It's almost there~

  Li Mingyun followed the round-faced maid, while another maid with almond-shaped eyes and a pointed chin led Lin Lan through the right-hand corridor to the side door. They arrived at the wing room, pushed open a south-facing room, and asked Lin Lan to enter and rest for a moment.

  "What should I call you, sister?" Lin Lan had nothing better to do, so she chatted with the maid, trying to get some valuable information out of her.

  That maid smiled faintly, and although there was no look of disdain or contempt in her eyes, there was a distant indifference that kept people at bay.

  "The maiden calls me so, but I dare not accept it."

  It's a very simple sentence, but Lin Lan still caught some information from it, which is the attitude of Ye family's servants towards this matter and their views on her. They must think that this thing is impossible, in their eyes, Lin Lan is just a humble village girl, to the point where Silver Willow doesn't even bother to use the word "servant" when speaking to her, perhaps Silver Willow thinks she is superior to this village girl by several degrees.

  Lin Lan was indifferent to Yin Liu's coldness and asked again: "Sister Yin Liu, I don't know if Mother Yao is in the mansion today?"

  "Does Aunt know Mrs. Yao?" Yin Liu felt surprised.

  "Yes! Yao's mom's grandson was delivered by me." Lin Lan saw that there were several plates of tea snacks on the coffee table, so she picked up a crystal clear and transparent water crystal cake to eat. It was already past lunchtime, and she was starving to death. Just to maintain her image, she didn't gobble it down, but instead nibbled at the water crystal cake in small bites, savoring its sweet, soft, and smooth flavor, which was really not bad.

  "Wasn't it the female doctor who saved Yin Fang's life?" Silver Willow's expression became even more astonished.

  "It's not a big deal, just a small effort." Lin Lan said disapprovingly. On the day of Yin Fang's difficult labor, Mother Yao went to Hu's pharmacy and found that Master had gone out on a house call. Several senior apprentices shook their heads upon hearing about the delivery, so she had to take charge. In her past life, she had practiced in obstetrics for a period of time, and not only had she delivered babies, but also performed several cesarean sections. Giving birth seemed perilous to others, but to her, it was just a trivial matter.

  The next moment, Yin Liu suddenly stood up straight and respectfully bowed her knee to Lin Lan, her voice slightly excited: "Yin Liu thanks you on behalf of my sister for saving her life."

  Lin Lan held the pastry with her eyes wide in shock, could it be that coincidental? Xinyu was Xinfang's sister? Uh... come to think of it, both Xinyu and Xinfang were from the Silver generation!

  "Silver Willow sister, hurry up, this matter is really too coincidental." Lin Lan exclaimed with surprise.

  With this layer of relationship, Yinliu's attitude has undergone a significant change, and when looking at Linlan's eyes, it becomes more intimate.

  "Really! I've always heard my sister mention you, and now I finally get to see you today." Yinyu smiled.

  As they were familiar with each other, Lin Lan spoke more freely: "Actually, I've been to Ye Manor several times."

  "Is the young lady here to deliver duck eggs?"

  "How did you know?" Lin Lanqi asked.

  "Others don't know, can Silver Willow still pretend not to know? Miss, from now on in the mansion, you must never mention this matter again."

  "Why?" Lin Lan was puzzled.

  Yin Liu choked back a smile and said: "In the mansion, everyone from top to bottom is now so fed up that they almost vomit when they hear the two words 'duck eggs'. If they knew those duck eggs were all sent by the young lady, I'm afraid it would be bad for her..."

  Lin Lan suddenly looked distracted and chuckled a few times: "That can't be mentioned."

  Yin Liu thought for a moment and hesitantly asked: "Miss and Young Master... are you two really...?"

  "Ah...... Of course it's true, but I think Old Lady Lin won't agree." Lin Lan sighed with a hint of melancholy.

  Yinliu said, "What status is the young master? Even if it's a thousand gold from the prime minister's family or a noble lady with exceptional talent and beauty, they still wouldn't be worthy of the young master. Now you're saying he wants to marry a village girl? Even if the old madam agrees, would the capital city agree? Logically speaking, this matter has zero possibility. However, Linlang Miss and her sister have saved our lives, so Yinliu couldn't bear to pour cold water on it. She hesitated and said, "The young master always has his own ideas, and the old madam loves him the most. It's not certain that he can persuade the old madam to agree."

  Lin Lan didn't hear that Yin Liu was comforting her, so she took the opportunity to ask: "What is the old lady's temper and personality like?"

  Yin Liu thought for a moment and said, "Although the old lady is usually quite strict, as long as everyone does their job seriously, she won't intentionally make things difficult for anyone."

  This sentence, when turned around, means that if anyone makes the old lady unhappy, her hand won't be soft. Lin Lan felt a bit apprehensive in her heart. This kind of dignified and serious old lady, if she had a preconceived notion from the start, would be very difficult to deal with. It's likely that this Old Lady Ye has an extraordinary deep prejudice against her, and might even think that she is shamelessly seducing her precious little nephew.

  As they spoke, the round-faced maid from earlier arrived.

  "Miss Lin, the old lady is inviting you."

  Lin Lan's crystal cake almost fell to the ground, so fast? It seems that Old Lady is indeed a impatient person, so eager to see her.

  As they passed by Yin Liu's side, Yin Liu whispered to Lin Lan: "The old lady likes people who talk about rules."

  What rules? Who knows what rules are in the mind of the old lady, just go with her, take it one step at a time, and if all else fails, just head back home.

  Lin Lan felt relieved and followed the round-faced maid upstairs.

  The main courtyard is very large, with two thriving sea buckthorn trees planted in the center. On both sides of the covered corridor, there are rows of bird cages hanging from the eaves, containing birds such as painted eyebrows and parrots, chirping and tweeting joyfully. The five-bay upper house has intricately carved beams and pillars, exuding a sense of grandeur.

  No need for further introduction, Yuan Lian directly led Lin Lan into the main house.
