"Really? Is your injury really not healed? Or do you have some little tricks up your sleeve?" Ye Hen lowered his voice.
"Hehe, I'm just a little lazy. I'll take advantage of this illness to rest for a few more days!" An Qingran said with a smile. In fact, she was thinking about some things, so she should observe secretly for a few more days. If she was injured, those people would not care about her when they were doing things outside. In that case, their true purpose would be exposed and their feet would be exposed!
In fact, the more important reason was that she could take the opportunity to tell her father how important it was to learn a medical skill, and she couldn't let her father object to her cousin staying. This was the real reason.
An Qingran went back to her mother first. Lian Jinyu didn't understand why An Qingran suddenly became interested in studying medicine and martial arts. Before, she didn't like to move. She just stayed quietly in the house every day reading books and embroidering. Even when going out for parties, it was An Yanran who dragged her to go!
Although she didn't understand why, she was still happy since she wanted to learn. Although some people believed that women without talent were virtuous, she thought that if a woman was not smart enough and had no ability, no matter how pretty she was, it would only be for show. After a long time, she would inevitably be looked down upon.
The next day.
An Zhongtao suddenly received a report from his servants: An Jinrong has not eaten or drunk anything for three days in Lanxiao Pavilion and is unable to get out of bed. He was asked what to do!
An Zhongtao was considering whether to lift the ban on Lian Jinrong in advance, because of the recent visit of Prince Kang and because Concubine Shu sent a letter to invite her to visit Prince Kang's mansion. An Zhongtao was a little hesitant, but he couldn't take back his words for no reason. Now when he heard the report, he was moved and didn't stand up immediately, but asked: "Why are you reporting so late?"
The servant was stunned for a moment: "I don't usually see the Second Madam. I heard from the maid that the Second Madam didn't want to bother the General with her affairs. She thought it was just a small matter, but she didn't expect it to drag on and make him lose his appetite!"
An Zhongtao's face changed when he heard this: "Why don't you go get a doctor?"
The servant ran out quickly after hearing that. An Zhongtao paced back and forth in the room, and finally flicked his sleeves and walked out in a hurry.
Lanxiao Pavilion.
Lian Jinrong was lying on the bed, wearing only a watercolor underdress, with her hair loose, and she was lying on a brocade pillow, looking weak and powerless. An Zhongtao saw her like this, not as strong as before, with her hair loose, which added a bit of pure beauty, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity for her.
Lian Jinrong opened her eyes, forced herself to sit up, and said weakly: "General, I have caused trouble for you again..."
An Zhongtao stepped forward and supported her: "Lie down properly!"
"General...I am a loser." Having said this, she leaned on the pillow, breathing weakly.
An Zhongtao frowned when he saw this: "You should have announced it earlier so that the lady could have a look!"
"I feel that I have brought shame to the general. The general trusted me, but I failed to manage him strictly, allowing the evil slaves to take advantage of their power and even dare to bully the lady... To be honest, this is all my fault. On that day, I only felt wronged, but never thought that the general lost face in front of outsiders because of me..." Lian Jinrong's eyes were touching, and her tone was full of resentment and self-blame, which made An Zhongtao's heart soften at once.
He coughed and said, "You don't have to blame yourself too much..."
"How could I not blame myself? I have been loved by the general for so many years, but I have caused so much trouble to the general. I am really ashamed and guilty. I have been reflecting on myself these days, and I feel more and more that I am not thoughtful enough and not capable of taking on such a big responsibility. So the general is right. It is most appropriate to let my sister manage our general's mansion!" After Lian Jinrong said this, she suddenly felt that she had been exposed. She actually said it in one breath. How could this be? She could not help but lie on the pillow and gasp for breath, without looking up, accompanied by violent coughing.
