"This is the truth. We should not accept our fate. We should fight for it when we should. Now that you are here, I just want to tell you that the last time An Qingran came to me, I only said a few words to her, but I had a deep understanding. This little girl is definitely not an ordinary person, so you must not be fooled by her!"
Lian Jinrong did not expect that Concubine Shu had the same idea, which made her admire her. After all, the Imperial Concubine was much more perceptive than others.
She returned to the general's mansion and felt more confident. She took An Yanran to Bingyuan. The old lady was teasing the parrot in the yard. When she saw them come in, she looked up at them without any special expression on her face.
Lian Jinrong was like a brazier: "Mother, have you eaten yet?"
"Of course I have. Why, didn't you have lunch?" The old lady's tone was not very good.
Lian Jinrong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mother, I just came back from the palace. My Concubine Shu gave me some things, and I brought them here especially to honor you..."
As he spoke, he handed the thing in his hand to her. It was a piece of palace gauze, of a crystal white color, which looked very authentic.
The old lady's eyes lit up: "This palace gauze looks good. After all, it is something from the imperial palace."
As he said this, he gave a look to the maid next to him.
Xiao Min next to her took Gong Sha over.
Lian Jinrong looked at the thing in An Yanran's hand and said, "This is the Soul-Calming Incense from the palace. My cousin gave me two ingots. I don't need them myself, so I thought if my mother feels sleepy at night, she could light a little, it would be very effective!"
The old lady finally showed a kind expression on her face: "I'm talking to you, why would I need such a good thing? Keep it for yourself or give it to Zhong Tao!"
"Zhongtao snores as soon as he goes to sleep, so why would he need something like this..."
Lian Jinrong said this and handed the medicine to Min'er.
The old lady said, "It's just right. I just asked the maids to cool the sour soup. Since you are here, please sit with me for a while!"
Lian Jinrong and An Yanran followed her into the house. The maids immediately brought fruits and cold drinks. The old lady was actually not very old, but she had gained weight and looked more imposing.
After she sat down, she looked at Lian Jinrong and said, "You are a thoughtful person. You still care about me!"
Lian Jinrong smiled: "It is our duty to honor our mother. Before, when our mother lived in the countryside, we only sent some gifts to her during the New Year holidays, and we never showed filial piety to her in person. Now, thanks to God, we have this opportunity, how could we miss it?"
"Well, that's a good point. If one is not filial and does not respect the elderly, he will be hard to tolerate..." the old lady sighed.
An Yanran sat quietly aside, and no one could see the expression on her face.
Originally, she thought that pleasing the grandmother would be beneficial, but she found that things were not as simple as she thought. She understood everything after that meal, but since her mother thought that this would be effective, she might as well accompany her!
The old lady looked at Yanran and said, "I haven't seen you come to play with Ranyue these few days. Are you still not over it? I thought that what happened happened, and it's useless to think about it. You came up with something yourself. I don't know who is laughing at you!"
An Yanran felt a prick in her heart when she heard this, but she still smiled and said, "Grandma is right..."
The old lady continued, "Your mother is quite sensible. You should really respect her!"
An Yanran didn't say anything this time, she just nodded.
The old lady sighed again: "Mingxuan is really a child. He plays all day long and doesn't know how to be scheming. After all, he is now the eldest son of the general's mansion. Speaking of which, the general's mansion may very well belong to him. I wonder if you usually teach him this?"
Lian Jinrong showed a little joy on her face when she heard that. If there was anything that could make her feel at ease, it was her own son. No matter what, he was the eldest son of the general's mansion, although he was not born of a legitimate wife.
Hearing what the old lady said, she hurriedly said: "Although Mingxuan is still young, we dare not delay his studies. The general has always liked military strategy, so he read military books early, but he is still young and can't see anything!"
The old lady's expression changed several times, and then she smiled and said, "Zhong Tao has always been good at martial arts, I know this, but don't bite him too hard, the child is still young, don't get angry, I care about him like the apple of my eye... He is the future hope of the general's mansion"
An Yanran was a little surprised by her grandmother's evaluation. She had only met Mingxuan a few times, but she was so concerned about him. But it was understandable because Mingxuan was her father's only son after all.
No matter what, the general's mansion will be inherited by a younger brother.
An Yanran suddenly thought of a question!
It was this question that made her smile bitterly. Now it seemed that everything was developing in a bad direction and it was totally out of control, let alone her!
Or maybe the old lady in front of me might have some solution?
Lian Jinrong was extremely happy to hear the old lady praising her son. She smiled and said, "I remember what mother said. I will teach him well and will ask him to come to mother from time to time so that you can teach him!"
The old lady nodded: "Okay, but speaking of it, it might be a little early for me to say this... I just remembered that if Lian Jinyu gave birth to another son, the eldest son and grandson would be the legitimate heir, right?"
Lian Jinrong's face slowly turned pale after hearing this: "Could it be that my sister is pregnant?"
The old lady smiled and said, "Why? You don't know about such a happy event?"
Lian Jinrong didn’t know, and neither did An Yanran, but it wasn’t their fault. They only found out this morning when they entered the palace.
An Qingran is the happiest one!
She didn't even do the experiment in her hand, but just ran to her mother, smiling foolishly.
Lian Jinyu felt embarrassed by her laughter: "You little girl, you actually have such a devilish idea!"
"Mom, this one must be a younger brother!" An Qingran said with a smile.
"How can it be certain? It's as if you can make the decision on your own!" Lian Jinyu said with a smile.
"Haha, that's true. If it's not a younger brother this time, then you must ask for a younger brother for me next time!" An Qingran just grinned and said while laughing.
Lian Jinyu frowned even more: "You are getting more and more outrageous. You are still an unmarried girl. What will happen if outsiders hear it?"
"How can there be outsiders? Aren't there just the two of us here? How great!" An Qingran finally sat at the head of the bed and looked at his mother, his eyes full of emotion.
"Kid, sometimes even your mother doesn't understand you. Why do you have so many weird ideas?" Lian Jinyu stood up and An Qingran jumped down immediately.
She followed nervously: "Mom, be careful!"
