Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Zhenbei trembled so much that the tea in his hand shook. "How...how could this be? Lanyin, don't you know who I am?"
"The concubines in my household were also arranged for me by you."
Seeing his nervous expression, Ye Lanyin smiled and softened, "My lord, Lanyin was just joking."
"My lord, please don't be nervous. Lan Yin has thought things through very clearly these days. I'm too busy with the affairs of the manor right now, so it's only right that I take a concubine for you."
"However, my lord, if you have a woman you like outside, you should inform Lanyin in advance."
"Lan Yin wanted to let them enter the manor openly and legitimately."
"You can't be like those heartless men who deceive their wives and keep mistresses."
"This mistress is just a sham, pretending to love you. Don't get all tainted by her and think you smell wonderful."
The Marquis of Zhenbei was stunned, feeling guilty and not daring to look Ye Lanyin in the eye.
"Lanyin, I'm not nervous, don't worry. If I meet someone I like, I'll definitely tell you."
"How could I be a mistress? Am I that kind of heartless man? A heartless man like that doesn't deserve to be called a human being!"
Ye Lanyin was already heartbroken and no longer cared about his deception.
She sneered inwardly, "Unworthy of being human?"
This is what you said!
She stood up, holding her daughter. "The Marquis is still as elegant as ever. Lan Yin is captivated by him."
"It's a pity that Lanyin is getting old and losing her beauty. Your Highness should go and stay with your concubine."
The Marquis of Zhenbei was startled; this was the first time he had ever pushed him away.
In the past, when had she ever not let me go back to my room to sleep?
Although she did nothing, she happily poured out her feelings all night long.
"good."
Although she has changed somewhat, when his gaze fell upon the child in her arms, he ultimately had no heart for him.
"My lord."
Ye Lanyin stepped forward and tucked his collar in his hand. "The day after tomorrow is the twelfth lunar month. Remember to come back to the manor to eat tangyuan (sweet rice balls)."
"Okay." He replied and then fled from the Hibiscus Courtyard in a frenzy.
Ye Lanyin lowered her gaze.
"Draw a heart, prepare water, I need to wash my hands."
"Yes, madam."
Seeing that the lady's hands were red and peeling from washing, Huaxin, with tears in her eyes, pulled her out of the water.
"Madam, that's enough, that's enough. If you keep going like this, your hands will get frostbite."
Is Mother sad?
Waaaaah, I knew it! Mommy still loves that scumbag dad.
How can I tell her that her scumbag father lied to her?
Ye Lanyin's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes reddened.
"No, it's not about painting hearts. I just feel disgusted even touching him." She picked up a handkerchief and wiped her hands.
Hua Mei quickly brought over some ointment and applied it to her.
“Madam, hand injuries are hard to heal in winter. This ointment was given to me by the old lady on the day of the baby’s full moon celebration. The old lady said it was a gift from the Empress Dowager.”
Ye Lanyin felt a warmth in her heart and quickly put the matter of the Marquis of Zhenbei's visit out of her mind.
Remembering that the winter solstice was just a few days away, a glint flashed in her eyes.
"The winter solstice is coming soon. Go and tell the main kitchen to make more glutinous rice balls so we can have a reunion dinner tonight."
"Yes, madam."
"By the way, don't let Rui'an's little chef know about this."
"I understand." Hua Xin smiled and walked out, as if she had just thought of something.
The cooks in the main kitchen and the junior cooks in the Hibiscus Courtyard were gifts from the General's Mansion the year they got married.
It was only because they were afraid she wouldn't be used to the food at the Marquis's residence.
Later, it also helped to improve the old lady's stomach.
Hey, this is going to be interesting.
[Mommy, can I eat meat now?]
I want to make money, I want to eat meat, I want to become beautiful and rich!
Do you receive red envelopes for Chinese New Year?
Will my scumbag dad give it to me?
...
Ye Lanyin covered her ears, her heart filled with a thousand thoughts of disgust for her daughter.
Is it certain that her daughter was a god in her past life?
She looked up at the sky.
Does God have so much to say?
So, when she makes wishes, are the gods also chatting?
Wouldn't that mean we can't hear her wishes?
Next time, I'll write it down on paper and burn it as an offering to the gods!
Ye Lanyin was unaware that she was about to cause her daughter a lot of trouble.
Soon, the winter solstice will arrive.
That day, everyone in the city was busy and having a great time.
A year has passed and we've been looking forward to this day.
The arrival of the winter solstice means that families will soon be able to reunite.
Those family members who were working in other places will soon be returning.
At the turn of the year, Ye Lanyin dressed Lin Wanwan in new clothes, signifying bidding farewell to the past and preparing to welcome the new year.
"Miss looks so beautiful. You've really grown up quite a bit." Hua Mei clasped her hands together, squatted down, and carefully straightened her clothes.
Lin Wanwan stretched out her hands and rushed into Hua Mei's arms, which made Hua Mei feel very sorry for her.
"Oh, girl."
"May I get you a new milk pot?"
Hua Mei tentatively asked.
Lin Wanwan hugged him tightly, trying to shake her head.
Forget it, she gave up; she couldn't control it.
"@#￥#"
"Pfft pfft..."
Seeing how protective the young master was of that milk pot, Hua Mei could only sigh.
I don't know what's wrong with the young lady.
Since returning from praying at Chanfeng Temple, she has been holding the baby bottle every day, and she doesn't even want to put it down when she sleeps.
Except for washing, nothing else should be removed from one's person.
Even after washing it clean, it took a combination of coaxing and deception from the three of them to get it to leave.
Ye Lanyin carried Lin Wanwan out of the mansion, preparing to make her some new clothes for the New Year.
The group arrived at the most bustling area of Bianjing and stood at the entrance of Luoshangfang.
Ye Lanyin carried Lin Wanwan inside.
