Everything reminded her that she was born out of wedlock, and that she, her mother, and her grandmother were all destined to be born out of wedlock!

She must free her child from the fate of being born out of wedlock in this lifetime!

She knew that she had to rely on herself for everything. This was what her mother told her. She had done well enough, but she did not expect that such a big thing would happen today. She had just seen her mother. She told herself to be patient, but she did not endure it today and the consequences were!

Fortunately, her father did not confine her to house arrest. She knocked on the door, and the maid inside heard it was her and took a long time to open the door. They really listened to their father!

However, it was stupid enough that the father only confined his mother to the house and did not prevent others from coming in.

As soon as she entered the room, she slapped the maid who opened the door. The little maid was stunned by her slap. She cried out, but just as she was about to cry, she was frightened by An Yanran's eyes and held back her tears: "Miss..."

"What? Do you think I'm a door god? And you know I'm a lady? The Lan Xiao Pavilion hasn't collapsed yet, do you want to surrender to another master?" An Yanran said sternly.

The little maid immediately knelt on the ground and shook her head, saying she didn't dare. An Yanran wanted to say something, but she heard her mother calling her in the room: "Yanran, don't bother with these useless things. Mother has something to say..."

An Yanran ran into the house. She looked at Lian Jinrong lying on the bed with tears in her eyes, but then she smiled: "Mom, I'm fine. I just went to Xiwu Courtyard, and An Qingran promised me that she would plead for you. Father has stayed in the East Warm Pavilion. I will go to him tomorrow morning... I think he will lift the ban because of the kindness that mother has served him for so many years."

Lian Jinrong's face was very pale. The twenty strokes of the cane actually did not cause much damage to her cotton skirt. However, the anger she held in her heart caused internal injuries!

Since she came back, her chest has been blocked. She wants to vomit but can't. It must be blood!

"Forget it. You were not there today, so you don't know what happened. It looked like your father wanted to sever ties with us, fearing that we, his illegitimate children, would disgrace his wisdom! Yanran, mother has no other hope in this life. She only hopes that you and Mingxuan can escape the fate of being illegitimate children. All that mother fought so hard for was for you. Now, the situation has taken a sharp turn, and mother doesn't know if she will be in power again. If that woman gains power, none of us women will have a good life..."

An Yanran nodded: "I know very well."

Her language was concise and her expression was solemn.

Lian Jinrong looked at her daughter who had just turned ten years old. She knew that she would be more capable than herself in the future!

"Oh, by the way, mother told you that you must be patient. You have to have a good relationship with An Qingran. Don't come to mother's place unless necessary. It's best not to let others see you. In fact, you shouldn't beg for me. You should cut off your relationship with me. Do you understand? Yanran? Mother may not get up after falling this time, so you can't suffer the same bad luck as mother, understand?"

"I understand!" An Yanran said coldly.

Lian Jinrong reached out and stroked An Yanran's face, her eyes filled with relief: "Yanran, being my daughter is a shame for you. Your appearance is unmatched by many legitimate daughters. Your mother can't do anything now, you have to do your best. Remember what I said? Don't come here in the future, stay away from Lan Xiao Pavilion, understand?"

An Yanran's eyes were filled with hatred: "Mother, I understand, you can just rest and recover, I'll take care of everything!"

Lian Jinrong shook her head: "I can't bear to let you, such a young child, face all this. But I was too stupid to fall into their trap. You must be careful of An Qingran. I always feel that something is wrong with her today!"

An Yanran shook her head upon hearing this: "I like it! I like to compete with that woman and her daughter..."

There was a hint of sneer on the corner of her mouth, but there was excitement in her eyes. Such an expression on this pure and beautiful little face looked so strange that even Jin Rong shuddered when she saw it!
