"Two young masters were born that year?" They were his father and uncle. But if he remembered correctly, his uncle was three years younger than his father.
"Of course they are two young masters... Well, the mistress and Madam Lan gave birth to two young masters..." Granny Huang said with a smile, "This incident caused a sensation at the time, but it's a pity..."
"What a pity?" An Qingran's heart was pounding. She felt as if she was on the verge of some conspiracy.
"It's a pity that the baby I delivered didn't survive. Maybe it's not a good sign for a baby to smile as soon as it's born. I was sad for several days at that time, but..."
Granny Huang paused at this point, "Crown Princess, why are you asking all this? Is it just for writing the family history?"
"Yes, mother-in-law, just tell me what happened at that time." An Qingran had a gentle smile on her face.
Although Granny Huang was a little confused due to her old age, she felt that something was wrong after she said this, because if she was writing a family history, why didn't she ask the mistress or the maid at that time, but instead asked her, an old lady who had only been to the general's mansion once?
"Granny, don't feel burdened. I hope you can tell me what happened back then..."
"I will obey the Crown Princess' orders. I will continue. The one I delivered at that time was Madam Lan's young master. I was sad for a while when I heard that the child was not saved. However, I soon met the mother-in-law who delivered the mistress. She was sent away from the capital. If I hadn't met her on the way back to my hometown to visit relatives, she would have sighed for a while and told me that the mistress's child died when she delivered it. Now she was sent away from the capital again. I'm afraid it was because of this incident... Now I don't know which young master was not saved... I'm old, and these are all I remember."
After she finished speaking, countless thoughts flashed through An Qingran's mind, and finally she suddenly asked, "Mother-in-law, did the young master you delivered have any birthmarks on his body?"
***********
East warm room.
An Qingran's face was a little pale, and she looked a little absent-minded. She sat on the bed and looked at Xiao Mingchen blankly: "Mom, is there any mark on my father's ankle?"
"Why do you suddenly ask this question?" Lian Jinyu was stunned.
"Mom, you just need to tell me, is there or not?" After An Qingran asked this, she became visibly nervous, staring at her mother with burning eyes.
Seeing An Qingran so serious, Lian Jinyu immediately said, "There is a red birthmark on the right ankle, like a sword..."
The expression on An Qingran's face changed several times, and Lian Jinyu came closer and sat next to her: "Qingran, what's going on?"
"This matter has not been fully investigated yet, mother. I will explain it to you after some time."
Looking at her, Lian Jinyu smiled and said, "My daughter is becoming more and more capable. Isn't she handling national affairs?"
“You could say that.”
"Is it that the prince is secretly looking for you? Or is it that someone is causing trouble for you?"
An Qingran smiled: "Neither, I'm leaving first..."
After saying that, she ran out. Looking at her back, Lian Jinyu smiled with both pride and helplessness.
She found that she was becoming more and more dependent on and trusting her daughter.
Whatever she is doing, she must have her reasons.
Honeysuckle went out again with the young lady's letter. She felt very excited while walking. She seemed to know what the young lady was doing. If what the young lady did was successful, then the general's mansion would be quiet.
When she arrived at the door, she saw the old lady just coming back from outside. She had gone out to visit relatives. She protected Grandma Huang behind her as she walked out, for she was afraid that the old lady would notice this.
Granny Huang was walking out openly. When they passed each other, the old lady glanced over here and finally saw Granny Huang and Ren Dong: "What are you doing here?"
"I will leave immediately..." Honeysuckle said with her head lowered.
"Who is she?" the old lady asked warily.
Ren Dong immediately replied: "She is Granny Huang. She has dampness in her body and wants to find a young lady to treat her..."
She thought quickly and was afraid that Granny Huang would give herself up.
Fortunately, Granny Huang was not stupid, but just confused. After hearing what Jin Dong said, she covered her arms and said, "Yes, it's very uncomfortable in this cloudy and rainy day."
The old lady's face changed. "When did the General's Mansion become a clinic? How can a girl like this show up in public and treat patients?"
"Yes, Miss thought so too, so she only took a glance at me and asked me to send her back..."
The old lady didn't say anything, but walked into the yard.
Honeysuckle was startled.
Granny Huang left the yard and whispered, "Who is this?"
"This is Madam An, the former mistress of the general's mansion." Honeysuckle also whispered.
Granny Huang's eyes widened: "No wonder..."
After saying a few words, Rendong finally arranged a carriage for her and sent her away. She also told her that she would come back to her if she had any problems and that she should not leave Beijing for the time being.
Of course Granny Huang agreed. She would not leave without permission. If people could find her once, they would find her twice. She felt as if she was caught in a vortex, but at her age, she felt that she had nothing to be afraid of.
After returning, Rendong told An Qingran about this matter. An Qingran praised Rendong and said that she was smart, which made Rendong feel embarrassed.
An Qingran sat there thinking deeply, she was afraid that her grandmother would notice something.
She walked to the east warm room and went to see An Mingchen again, but she didn't expect that her grandmother was there too.
She was stunned for a moment, but did not show any fear. The old lady said that she came to see her grandson. Lian Jinyu admitted her mistake in a kind way and said that she should have brought Mingchen to see her earlier.
Seeing An Qingran coming in, the old lady turned her gaze to her: "Qingran, how is the injury on your face?"
"Grandma, I'm much better now."
"By the way, I was just talking to your mother. Don't bring people of bad character into the general's mansion in the future. You are already the crown princess. If you meet someone disgusting, it would be bad if the news gets out. Moreover, if someone has some ulterior motive and hurts you, it would not be good, right?" The old lady said a lot as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Grandma is right. Your granddaughter will pay attention to it."
Lian Jinyu didn't know what they were talking about, but she was smart enough not to interrupt.
The old lady said a few words and then left.
After her figure disappeared, Lian Jinyu asked, "It seems that she came here just to say these few words to you. As a grandmother, it's not surprising that she cares about this matter. She is kind-hearted."
"Yes, but when it comes to this matter, it's normal for her to be suspicious." An Qingran then told her mother about the investigation into Granny Huang. Lian Jinyu kept looking at her after listening. She jumped up in surprise, with a look of disbelief on her face.
