An Qingran did not disturb their solitude, but waited quietly outside. Finally, the door opened, and Madam Hong came out from the side room, carrying a large bundle in her hands. She looked at Lian Jinyu and said, "Madam, do you really not want me to serve you?"
"It's okay, Madam Hong, I will serve my mother." An Qingran beside her said, "By the way, Madam Hong, where is the hand warmer that my mother is most used to using..."
"It's in the room. I'll get it right away!" He said as he walked towards the side room.
An Qingran followed her into the house, because she wanted to tell Nanny Hong some things. In the general's mansion, the only people she could trust were her and Rendong. But Rendong was very young, so some things needed to be done by Nanny Hong.
They left quickly. When they were at the gate of the mansion, they met Lian Jinrong and her son who came to see them off. An Yanran pulled An Qingran's hand, tears welling up in her eyes: "Sister, you are going to Yuehua Temple. What will happen to Yanran? Without sister and mother, Yanran will not be able to eat or sleep well. Sister, mother, do you want to reconsider it? Yuehua Temple is so far away. What if Yanran misses mother and sister?"
An Yanran's tears really rolled down like beads. Lian Jinyu pulled her hand and said, "My child, you make me feel the most distressed. It's rare that you are so filial. If you miss me, Yuehua Temple is not far away. You can go and see us!"
An Qingran had a stiff smile on her face as she looked at everything in front of her. She knew that she couldn't say anything to her mother. Some things should be revealed after a while!
She promised Ye Hen that she would protect her mother. In fact, this was her greatest wish in life. Now An Yanran was not able to hurt her mother, so she would just let her have her fun for the time being.
Finally, Lian Jinrong pulled An Yanran over and said, "I know you can't bear to leave your mother, but you are still young and don't understand. Your mother and sister are going to do big things. I, your aunt, can't bear to leave them either, but there is nothing I can do..."
She stepped forward and looked at Lian Jinyu: "Sister, you haven't been in good health. You should come back sooner. I'll ask Zhong Tao to send someone to pick you up in a few days, okay? Sister, tell us a date so we can prepare!"
Lian Jinyu smiled and shook her head: "Sister, please serve the general well. We have no idea when we will be back..."
Before she finished speaking, she pulled An Qingran up and got on the carriage. An Qingran looked back at the majestic general's mansion. The large characters on the plaque of the mansion were shining with golden light, but standing under the plaque was the person she least wanted to see. She couldn't help but let down the curtain, thinking to herself, she didn't know what kind of blessings and future she and her mother would have on this trip, and she was looking forward to it.
Lian Jinrong returned to the house and did not disturb An Zhongtao. Instead, she frowned in confusion, as if she was thinking about something. An Yanran also sat there without saying anything for the first time. Only An Mingxuan was busy eating pastries with a sullen look on his face. Usually his mother and second sister always told him to eat less sweets, but now, he secretly ate a piece and no one said anything to him. Why shouldn't he take the opportunity to eat a few more pieces?
An Yanran suddenly said, "Mother, what should we do? There must be something wrong with them going to Yuehua Temple. I think one of the reasons may be that they want to attract father's attention, and it is also a demonstration to father for lifting the ban on you!"
Lian Jinrong nodded when she heard this. This was also her idea: "Yes, they have started to act, but I don't know what your father is thinking."
"My father is naturally feeling a little uncomfortable." An Yanran smiled, "So, mother will have to work harder these days and make more surprises for father. Everything in the mansion should also be arranged well. Yanran hasn't eaten mother's specialty dishes for a long time. It doesn't matter if Yanran doesn't eat them. The most important thing is father!"
"You clever little devil, do you need mother to tell me these things?" Lian Jinrong smiled, "Mother is just afraid that they have some conspiracy, and she always feels that something is wrong!"
