Fortunately, Lian Jinyu's mind was not on this aspect. She held Mingchen tightly in her arms and followed behind An Qingran, looking at her son for a while and then checking where her daughter was checking.

An Qingran checked all of Mingchen's things, even under the bed.

Finally she sat up on the bed and looked around, but so far she couldn't see anything wrong.

Maybe it’s just this jacket?

"Mom, do you remember who made the little jacket Mingchen wore before?" An Qingran suddenly asked.

"Is there something wrong with that coat?" Lian Jinyu asked in disbelief, eyes wide open.

"It's okay, I'm just asking, does mother still remember?"

"Madame Hong should remember that not all of those things passed through my hands. By the way, that coat was newly made..."

"Okay, it's okay. By the way, my mother's brother can smile now. He recognizes me." An Qingran felt relieved temporarily.

The tears in Lian Jinyu's eyes never dried. She didn't know how to express her feelings. An Mingchen also became very well behaved. He lay quietly in his arms and looked at her. Only then did An Qingran see that her mother's eyes had clouded over. It was obviously because of getting angry and crying. After taking her pulse, An Qingran prescribed some medicine for her and asked someone to boil it. Only then did she feel relieved.

She didn't know that her mother also studied medicine, so how could she have made herself so miserable.

An Qingran directed people to carry all the quilts in the house outside to dry in the sun, and then wiped the floor with hot water. All the linens in the house were replaced, and all the household items were disinfected. It was almost noon when she finished her work. She sat in the east warm room and thought carefully. Those who went to greet their return included Aunt Lian, Mrs. Chu, and Mrs. Fang, but not her grandmother. Until now, she had not even sent a maid to check on her.

Obviously, I should go and meet him myself.

An Qingran sneered.

Then she can go.

Beiyuan.

The old lady was sitting in the yard looking at the sun. She was stunned when she saw her come in. As soon as An Qingran came in, she smelled the strong smell of lime and wood ash in the yard, which were used for disinfection.

With a smile on her face, she stepped forward and bowed. The old lady said "thank you" and took a step back. It was obvious that she was still afraid of herself.

"Qingran, you and Mingchen are back. Grandma knows you're back and is very happy. But my waist, I don't know what's wrong, it's so stiff that I have trouble moving..."

"Then grandma, let Qingran check your pulse..." An Qingran said as she walked forward.

She saw the muscles in the corners of the old lady's eyes twitching and laughed in her heart, is she that scared?

"You have escaped from the disaster. I don't know how hard it must have been for you there. You came out and came to see me. Grandma is so happy. Wait for you to rest before taking my pulse. Or, there is a doctor in the mansion. Let him come and see me. You should take a rest. Someone, come and bring up my new fruits. It's not easy to have such things at this time..." She arranged for someone to serve fruits to An Qingran.

An Qingran smiled: "Since grandma doesn't need your grandson to diagnose your pulse, then let me massage your back. I've been away for so long and haven't been filial to you. I feel uneasy."

"I've already told you, there's no need. Just sit down and rest for a while." The old lady had a smile on her face.

An Qingran stood by her side and said, "My brother is seriously ill this time. Grandma, have you ever thought about who will inherit the general's mansion if something happens to him?"

She went straight to the point.

The old lady showed a puzzled expression: "My child, I never thought that Mingchen would have any accidents, so I never thought about this problem..."

An Qingran stopped talking at that. Fang and Shen Zhiyun happened to come to see the old lady, so she took the opportunity to say goodbye.

On the way back, she was thinking about the possibility that the old lady had harmed her brother.

She did not return to the yard, but found Nanny Hong and asked her to think about who made the little jacket and how many people had made it. After she asked, hatred appeared in her eyes and she understood.

It turned out to be her.

In fact, she should have thought of it earlier and shouldn't have doubted others.

When Ren Dong saw An Qingran walk into the yard, she rubbed her eyes first, then shouted "Miss" and rushed over: "Miss, I burn incense every day, and you are finally back..."

Originally, Rendong wanted to go with them, but An Qingran didn't allow it.

An Qingran came closer with a smile, but suddenly frowned: "Rosewood, your eyes..."

Honeysuckle smiled and said, "It's okay. I just cried for a long time. Now I see double images when I see things..."

"Let me see, don't let your eyes get hurt, silly girl. I had thought it through before not letting you follow me. This situation is different from usual. One more person means more strength, but on the contrary, it will be more dangerous. I know you are not afraid of danger, but how could I let you take the risk with me?"

"I know that you are doing this for my safety, but I belong to you, and I wish I could take your place and suffer this pain..."

"I know. Besides, don't you believe that your young lady is capable? When have I ever been in trouble and found a blessing in disguise?" An Qingran said mischievously.

There was fire in Rendong's eyes. An Qingran cured her and prescribed medicine to reduce the fire. When Rendong saw her come back, she told her that she didn't need to take medicine and her illness had improved by 50%. She was busy running around. She used to clean the house three times a day. When An Qingran came back, she couldn't help but busy herself again. An Qingran stopped her and said, "Rendong, don't be busy. Your eyes are not good. Take a good rest. From today on, you are the deputy lady of this courtyard. I won't let you do any housework. Let those little maids do it. Do you understand?"

"No... No, Miss, I don't have such a blessing. Besides, there is no such rule. I am a maid. It is my blessing in this life to be able to serve you all the time..."

"I have the final say." An Qingran said firmly, "And I want to tell mother."

"Miss, I am grateful for your concern. Now is an extraordinary period and I don't want you to worry about me. Besides, I am destined to be a hard worker. If I don't work for a day, I will feel uncomfortable." Honeysuckle said with a smile.

Although she refused, An Qingran already kept her loyalty in mind.

Lanxiao Pavilion.

Lian Jinrong rubbed An Zhongtao's shoulders with a smile on her face: "General, it is a great blessing for the General's Mansion that Qingran and Mingchen are back safely. It is worth it that I burned so many incense sticks in front of the Buddha for them."

As she spoke, her hands had been kneading the acupoints on the general's body, with neither too much nor too little force, and her voice was soft and gentle. The general had his back to her and could only hear her soft voice, but could not see the hatred and coldness in her eyes, so he smiled: "Yes, I didn't expect them to be so lucky, and it was also the blessing of their ancestors..."
