The woman turned around when she heard the voice. Although her face, which was already fifty years old, showed traces of time, one could still glimpse the grace of her youth.

Her eyes swept across Zhu Lan lightly, and when they fell on Yan Jing, she couldn't help but reveal a hint of kindness and affection.

According to the generational perspective, Concubine Wan is Yan Jing's grandmother, and Yan Jing should address her as Concubine Lady.

However, she followed Zhu Lan's instructions and called out crisply, "Hello, Grandmother."

The word "Grandma" made Concubine Wan's eyes wet immediately.

"Your humble servant Zhu Lan pays respects to Concubine Wan."

Concubine Wan only nodded slightly to Zhu Lan, then smiled and stretched out her hand to Yan Jing, pulling her to talk, with undisguised love in her eyes.

Yan Jing was loved by everyone and behaved even more obediently at this time. It didn't take long for him to make Concubine Wan very happy.

Seeing that Concubine Wan was happy, Yan Jing seized the opportunity and said:

"Grandmother, I heard that brother A Tiao is here, Jing'er wants to see him."

"She." Concubine Wan smiled and touched Yan Jing's face, then said something to the nanny beside her.

Soon, a woman in her thirties came over with a little boy about two years old.

The woman's behavior and demeanor showed that she was also from the palace. Zhu Lan guessed that she should be Yan Tiao's wet nurse.

Yan Jing stepped forward and took his brother's hand with a little curiosity.

Concubine Wan held Yan Tiao in her arms, her face full of love, and fed him a piece of dessert with her own hands, saying casually:

"I have been in this palace for so many years that I don't even know how many years have passed. If it weren't for this child accompanying me, I really don't know what the fun of living in this world would be."

Zhu Lan could see that Concubine Wan really treated Yan Tiao as her own grandson, and this was her only spiritual sustenance.

However, due to the situation, Zhu Lan considered for a long time and said slowly:

“Queen Dowager, you live in Tongzhou, so you may not know much about what’s happening in the capital…Now the Wei family, led by Wei Guoyi, have ulterior motives and may use the child’s identity to harm your majesty and the Queen Dowager.

So just to be on the safe side..."

Before Zhu Lan finished speaking, Concubine Wan's expression changed and her voice suddenly turned cold:

"Want to take A Tiao away? Oh, don't even think about it.

I don't care how you fight in the capital, as long as I am alive, I will not let Ah Tiao get involved in the disputes in the capital!"

Concubine Wan looked at Zhu Lan coldly, "Is this the reason why you came here today? I also told you clearly that A Tiao is with me and no one can take him away. If you have nothing else to do, please leave."

After saying this, Concubine Wan stood up, held Yan Tiao in her arms, turned around and walked into the house, leaving Zhu Lan and Yan Jing standing there awkwardly.

Seeing that the concubine had already issued an order to expel the guests, the old nanny said to the two of them:

"The Toffee needs to rest. Please, the two of you."

Zhu Lan had no choice but to leave for the time being. After leaving the palace, he was still thinking about countermeasures secretly.

Concubine Wan loves Yan Tiao so much, but if Guan Zhengqing’s people come and Concubine Wan doesn’t let them take Yan Tiao away, what will those people do?

Given Zhengqing's character, he will never give up and will try every possible means to take Yan Tiao away.

Time is running out. How can I convince Concubine Wan?

At this moment, Zhu Lan felt a small hand pulling his sleeve. When he lowered his head, he saw Yan Jing looking up at him.

"Aunt Zhu." Yan Jing waved at her, motioning her to come closer.

Zhu Lan squatted down, Yan Jing leaned over to Zhu Lan's ear and said in a serious tone:

"The younger brother I just saw was not A Tiao."

Zhu Lan's eyes trembled slightly, and he asked her how she found out.

Yan Jing recalled:

"When A Tiao was born, my father took my brother and me to see him. I remember that the knuckle of A Tiao's little finger was slightly bent, and I discussed this with my brother later.

But I just looked at the brother's hand, and there was nothing wrong with the knuckles of his little finger, so he is definitely not A Tiao."
