Flowers of parting?

This little guy.

Ye Lanyin smiled and shook her head.

"Indeed, Madam. Fortunately, we broke off our relationship with him yesterday, otherwise it would have implicated you."

Hua Xin was filled with lingering fear, for he truly shared the same bloodline as the Marquis of Zhenbei.

"Oh, by the way, Madam, the old general said that Master Xuanchan has been urging him every day, asking when he can come to the Marquis's residence to exorcise evil spirits."

"He has been waiting for a long time."

"Huh?" Ye Lanyin asked in surprise, "Master Xuanchan is usually so busy, why did he wait for us?"

"That's right, I also find it strange."

"But it's a good thing all along," Hua Xin said with a smile.

“Go and tell your father that we will invite Master Xuanchan to perform the ritual tomorrow.”

Hua Xin bowed and said, "Yes, Madam."

Then he happily trotted out.

On the birthday of the Marquis of Zhenbei, he would always invite his colleagues, and in previous years she had always been the one to organize it.

On August 13th last year, she was heavily pregnant and cooking, only to be told by the old lady that "the dishes were below standard," which saddened her for a long time.

She had initially thought it was something she said unintentionally and hadn't taken it to heart. But now it seems that every word she uttered was purposeful.

Isn't it just so they can say in front of everyone that she can't manage a household well?

August 13th, which is exactly the day after tomorrow.

She will definitely prepare a birthday celebration that she will never forget this time.

That's enough to move him for a lifetime.

"Hua Mei, go and order the best dishes in Bianjing."

"Madam, why waste money? He's not worth it."

How could Ye Lanyin not know? It's just that the people who came were all important figures, and she was feeding them.

Marquis of Zhenbei?

Naturally, they couldn't eat more than a few bites.

That day, Ye Lanyin was also busy. She first moved some things out in advance.

She also secretly returned all the indentures of the maids in the mansion, and found better places for those who had entered the service with innocent backgrounds.

Soon, only a few mediocre maids remained in the manor.

Lin Wanwan even secretly put some of the larger items into her necklace.

While going to the villa with Ye Lanyin, he secretly took the items out.

Ye Lanyin asked in confusion, "That's strange, these things were clearly not brought here."

"Did you order the plum blossom painting to be brought here?"

Hua Mei was tidying up when she heard Ye Lanyin's words and turned around to look.

Makeup mirrors, makeup boxes, dressing tables, wardrobes, desks, screens, candlesticks, armchairs, chaise lounges...

Hua Mei opened her mouth wide.

"Madam, how dare I move so many things?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyin's heart skipped a beat. She walked into the inner room with some trepidation, wanting to see what the little guy was doing.

Who knew that the round little body, with its back to her, would occasionally reveal familiar things in the room.

Her face showed shock.

He then pulled Hua Mei outside and said, "Hua Mei, go and see if there's anything else that hasn't been taken down from the carriage."

“Yes, Madam, but…” Huaxin muttered, “Did you send these things over beforehand and then forgot about them?”

"I guess... I guess so?"

Right?

Did the little guy bring this?!

Ye Lanyin was embarrassed. Didn't this girl know how many trips she could make? Wasn't she afraid they would suspect something?

She smiled and shook her head; after all, she was still a child at heart.

[Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.]

Inkstone, incense burner, book...

She glanced at Lin Wanwan, who was talking incoherently inside the house, and finally walked out into the courtyard.

If the little guy finds out, it will be terrible.

As Ye Lanyin and the others left the villa, they entered the mansion with smiles on their faces.

But then they saw the Marquis of Zhenbei smiling as he led the old lady to the front hall.

"Hua Mei, take Wan Wan to the courtyard, I'll be there in a bit."

"Yes, madam."

Now, eighty percent of the people in the entire Marquis's mansion are her own. Ye Lanyin stood directly behind the paper window in the front hall and listened to their conversation.

"Mother, good news."

"His Majesty has agreed to change the title."

The old lady exclaimed excitedly, "Really?"

“It is absolutely true. His Majesty asked me if I regretted it, and I said I absolutely regretted it, so His Majesty approved it directly.”

"That's great. Shixuan is only fifteen now. He can work for more than ten years. It's like we're the ones who benefit."

"Even if His Majesty wants to take it back in the future, he will still be able to sit in the position of a powerful minister because of this status."

"Dehong, our Lin family's ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke!"

The Marquis of Zhenbei, his face beaming with joy, said, "Mother said so."

But the old lady was still dissatisfied when she thought about what happened yesterday. She said angrily, "Speaking of which, why were you so spineless yesterday?"

"Your wife is practically riding on your head, and you still want her to adopt a son?"

"If you ask me, you should have slapped her. This is not something a woman like her can decide!"

"Shuang'er gave such a good son to her, and she's ungrateful and even curses like a shrew. She really doesn't know what's good for her!"

The Marquis of Zhenbei felt somewhat guilty after being scolded by the old lady.

He was indeed terrified yesterday, but he swallowed his anger because of Shixuan's chances of winning the palace selection.

"Mother, I have considered this matter. Don't worry, I will drag it out until the selection at Shixuan Palace is completed."

"Now that the title has been passed on to Shixuan, you don't need to worry about it anymore. The future of the Marquis's mansion is bound to be bright."

"You can just stay in the courtyard, plant some flowers, pray to Buddha, eat and drink as you please."

Seeing how filial her son was, the old lady instantly forgot all about these matters.

She said with relief, "My son is still the most reliable."

Ye Lanyin listened for a while at the door and then went back to the courtyard.
