Lingwei interjected, "Madam, I really like it. Although the rouge powder isn't as fine as the rouge I usually use, it makes me look much more energetic and fairer after applying it."
"Yes, yes, Madam, I use it every day," Shuxue said happily.
Zhiyan replied with a smile, "Madam is so kind to us. We feel embarrassed to accept all the food, supplies, and clothing we have."
“Yes, Madam, we are grateful to you,” Yu Shuang echoed.
【It's out of gratitude.】
My mother is quite capable.
Fortunately, the little guy was speaking his mind and no one heard him.
In her past life, the concubines secretly followed Zou Shuang'er's lead and tried to kill Ye Lanyin. Now, the tables have turned.
She really wanted to see what would happen to Zou Shuang'er.
Hey, as a goddess, she can't overstep the bounds of life and death in the mortal realm, but surely she can destroy someone's heart?
Zou Shuang'er couldn't sit still any longer, seeing their hypocritical behavior, so she made an excuse and left.
The others also left one after another.
After the concubines left, Ye Lanyin began to organize the matters that needed to be noted at the banquet.
Hua Mei stood to the side, puzzled.
"Madam, do you really want to teach them?"
"Teach? Why don't you teach?"
These are things that have been accumulated over more than ten years; they cannot be learned overnight.
She was well aware of how ambitious they were.
They've only just entered the manor, so they don't dare to be too secretive yet. But as time goes on, even if the manor isn't handed over to them for management, they'll do everything in their power to take it over.
In that case, why not just give them to them directly?
However, Zou Shuang'er was not so lucky later on.
"If they are willing to learn, then I, as their wife, will teach them."
"Alright, go check on Chang'an and Rui'an. Isn't today a holiday? Why aren't they here?"
"It is Madam."
Hua Mei didn't ask any more questions, knowing that the lady had her own ideas, and then withdrew to Yifeng Residence after responding.
Not long after, she returned.
“Madam, the Second Young Master said he is studying, and the Third Young Master said that Young Master Xiao is playing in his courtyard. He will come back after Young Master Xiao leaves.”
"Young Master Xiao?"
"Yes, it's the Regent's son, Xiao Chengyun."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyin dropped the bell she was holding with a clatter to the ground.
The bell made a piercing sound.
She hurriedly picked up Lin Wanwan, who was sitting on the chair, and said, "Let's go see her."
As she spoke, her voice became somewhat hurried.
Her son, her poor son.
The more she thought about it, the faster she quickened her pace.
I thought about it a million times: who does he look like, whose voice, whose height?
Just as she was about to reach the courtyard, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Mother, what brings you here?"
Ye Lanyin asked nervously, "Chang'an, where are the people who were playing in your yard just now?"
Lin Chang'an said, "Oh, Mother is talking about Prince Xiao. He's gone."
"Gone?" Ye Lanyin's voice rose a few decibels.
Lin Chang'an smiled and said, "Yes, he came in through the dog hole and just left. Weren't you looking for your son? So your son let him go."
"Mother, what do you want to see your son about?"
Ye Lanyin seemed not to hear, her eyes filled with disappointment, and then she looked at her son.
"Chang'an, did he say when he'll come next time?"
"No, he can come whenever he wants."
"Mother, your son specially made him crawl through the dog hole. You mustn't tell anyone, lest some people try to curry favor with him because of his status."
“If his father finds out he’s causing trouble, he’ll be beaten.”
Upon hearing that her son would be beaten, Ye Lanyin suddenly remembered the man who had hidden in her room that day.
How could someone who looks perfectly normal commit domestic violence?
The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became.
Does his father often beat him?
“Yes, we often hit each other.” Lin Chang’an scratched his head. “Mom, don’t worry, if that scumbag father hits me, I will hit him back. I will never embarrass you.”
Oh dear, my second brother's gone.
It's a pity I won't be able to see him.
I envy him so much, being able to be with his father.
When Ye Lanyin heard that her daughter actually wanted to go to the Regent's side, she felt a lump in her throat.
When Lin Chang'an heard Lin Wanwan's thoughts, he thought she was saying that she envied Xiao Chengyun because he had a father.
Thinking he had caused trouble again and someone was coming to complain, Lin Chang'an quickly tried to explain himself.
“Mother, your son has been studying hard at school, and he has not been domineering or bullying the teacher. Your son has absolutely not done anything wrong. He is definitely a very good son and a good child.”
Ye Lanyin snapped out of her reverie and nodded with satisfaction at her son's sensible expression.
"Yes, Mother believes you, but Chang'an, one should always be humble, understand?"
Lin Chang'an grinned foolishly:
"Mother, I understand. Tomorrow at school, I'll make sure my classmates praise me, okay?"
Ye Lanyin: "..."
This son probably has no hope of succeeding in his studies.
"Chang'an, do you want to be a general?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an's eyes lit up. "Yes, Mother, how did you know?"
Then he remembered Lin Wan's feelings and clung to Ye Lanyin.
"Mother, I was planning to tell you later, but since you asked, I'll tell you now."
"Mother, your son wants to be a general. Your son really wants to be a general."
He dreamed of becoming a general, of galloping across the battlefield and becoming a warrior feared by all.
He wanted to learn kung fu to protect his family and the people of the Holy Kingdom.
He wanted to be like his maternal grandfather and maternal uncle, intimidating all around him.
