"It's nothing, uncle. Lan'er knows aunt's good intentions. Lan'er will always remember how good you and grandma have been to her. I don't do much at home on weekdays. Since grandma wants to eat the cakes made by Lan'er, I am happy that she has to work a little harder. The kitchen staff also help, so Lan'er is not tired." Wang Xinlan curled her lips and replied.

She has grown up and is no longer the naive three-year-old child.

Wang Xinlan also heard some things about her life story when she was a child.

From childhood to adulthood, no maid or servant in the whole mansion had ever gossiped about her.

She knew that her grandmother and uncle and aunt had given special instructions to the servants in the mansion in order to protect her, so that she would not feel dependent on others.

However, there is no wall that is completely airtight.

Although the Xiao Mansion was well arranged by them, no one gossiped or gossiped.

But the people outside are not under their jurisdiction.

The story of the Fifth Lady of the Xiao family marrying the Second Lady of the Wang family had long been passed on by word of mouth.

When Wang Xinlan was six years old, she learned from rumors that her biological father was Wang Erlang.

His romantic affairs became the topic of conversation among people on the street after dinner.

Before that, Wang Xinlan didn't understand why her grandmother never allowed her to ask about her biological father.

It turns out that he was a rotten person from the beginning to the end.

At such a young age, she had no idea what love was, but she swore silently in her heart that she would never be like her mother and find a husband like her biological father.

"Uncle, the pastries won't taste good if they're cold. Lan'er, take the pastries to grandma to have a taste first." Wang Xinlan pursed her lips and said.

Xiao Yunqi nodded, "Well, okay, you go first."

"Uncle, Lan'er goes ahead."

Wang Xinlan was holding a tray in her hand and was not in a position to bow to her uncle Xiao Yunqi. She bit her lip, looked up at Master Xiao, and nodded.

When she saw her uncle nodded, she walked past him.

After Wang Xinlan walked for a distance, Xiao Yunqi stood on the kitchen steps, raised his eyes and looked at her back from a distance.

Xiaolan has really grown up and becomes more and more like Xiaowu, especially her back, which looks exactly like her mother.

Now that I think about it, when Xiaowu gave birth to Xiaolan, he was about the same age as she is now.

If she had not met Wang Jiaerlang back then, she would definitely have a happy family now.

The person is gone.

There is no such thing as if in this world.

No matter how many regrets they have, those who are alive must always look forward. Otherwise, if they keep living in pain, how can they go on with their lives?

Xiao Yunqi shook his head and threw away all the whining thoughts in his mind.

In fact, he still hasn't figured out one thing.

After all, it was just a dream. Although the content of the old lady's dream was not very good, she sent Xiaolan away, but Xiao Yunqi couldn't understand why?

Although the two children grew up together and have a deep relationship, it is understandable that Xiaolan is worried about her cousin.

Xiao Yunqi still felt that what Old Madam Xiao did was unreasonable.

Xiaolan is not only her younger sister's daughter, but also the only blood she has left in this world. She grew up under their eyes, so they are a family.

The old lady even wanted to send her granddaughter away. If others knew about this, they would think that they treated Xiaolan differently.

"Forget it. I don't know what mother is up to." Xiao Yunqi shook his head. He lowered his eyes and murmured, "I'd better go and do what mother asked me to do first. Otherwise, the old lady won't eat well tonight. It's just a dream. I don't know why mother is so nervous. Yiyi has been practicing martial arts with masters since he was a child. He has martial arts skills and followers around him. If he really encounters something, Wujing will definitely send a message."

He can complain as much as he wants.

Xiao Yunqi was not at all careless or perfunctory in doing what Old Madam Xiao and Madam Xiao asked him to do.

These two women have him completely under their control, and he cannot afford to offend either of them, otherwise he will have to bear the consequences.

While Xiao Yunqi was still muttering to himself, Wang Xinlan had already arrived outside Old Madam Xiao's bedroom carrying a tray of pastries.

She raised a slender hand and knocked gently on the door.

“Knock knock knock—”

"Grandma, Lan'er has made some cakes and brought them to you."

Wang Xinlan licked her lips, opened her mouth and spoke softly.

"Little Bell, I heard Lan'er's voice. Can you go outside and see if Miss Cousin is back?"

Madam Xiao was changing clothes for Old Lady Xiao. She heard a knock on the door outside. She turned to look at the little bell beside her, opened her mouth and spoke.

Judging from the time, it’s almost time for Lan’er to come back.

"Yes, old lady." Xiao Lingling bowed and responded.

“Squeak—”

"Miss cousin, let me get it."

Xiao Lingling raised her hand and opened the door. She lowered her head and nodded to Wang Xinlan outside the door. Seeing that she was holding a tray in her hand, she stretched out her hand, licked her lips, and spoke.

Since my cousin didn't say anything, I couldn't just take the tray from her.

It would be bad if my cousin misunderstood that I was eager to show off.

"It's okay, it's not heavy, I'll take it. Is grandma up yet? Little Bell, go help grandma up."

Wang Xinlan pursed her lips and said.

She was standing outside, so she didn't know her aunt was inside.

Little Bell blinked her eyes, licked her lips, and said with her mouth open: "Madam is changing the old lady's clothes in the room."

She swallowed and explained.

"My aunt is here too? That's perfect. I just happened to make the red bean cake that my aunt loves. I was thinking of going to my aunt's room to give it to her later. Now that my aunt is here, she can also accompany my grandmother to drink tea and eat snacks." Wang Xinlan said with a slight smile on her lips.

People are all made of flesh and blood.

From childhood to adulthood, Wang Xinlan knew that her grandmother, uncle and aunt had always taken good care of her, giving her the best in terms of food, clothing and other expenses, and hiring the best female teachers to teach her.

She also hopes that one day she can repay them to the best of her ability.

"Grandma, aunt, the cakes are still hot. You two can have a bite first. Lan'er has prepared some of the lotus seed soup that grandma wants to eat, the chestnut cake that you usually like to eat, and the red bean cake that aunt likes to eat."

Wang Xinlan walked into the house and placed the tray in her hand on the table.

"Xinlan is so thoughtful. No wonder I could smell the rich fragrance from a distance. It turns out that Xinlan still remembers my aunt and even made the cakes that my aunt likes."
