Chapter 215 Yan's Evening Building
At three quarters past noon, an extremely simple carriage stopped in front of the gate of Kaifeng Prefecture.
Yan Lan helped a woman in a black cloak get off the carriage, raised his head and looked at the plaque above the gate of Kaifeng Prefecture, frowning.
"Sister, this Xie Jing is really a greedy bastard. He married Rong Ying to a family like the Qin family for the future of the Xie family. Now that this has happened, I wish I could kill him!" Yan Lan said gritting her teeth.
Yan said calmly, "Always fighting and killing. Don't talk nonsense like that when you see the old lady."
"I understand." Yan Lan was dressed like a boy, with her long black hair fixed with a hair crown, and her brows were full of heroic spirit. She was the youngest girl of the same generation as the Yan family's branch, but she was only six years older than Xie Rongying.
As the Yan family fell into decline, members of the Yan family died, were injured, or disappeared because of what happened that year.
It was Yan Lan who was rescued from that disaster by the Yan family and has been kept by their side ever since.
"Sister, how about coming back this time and taking Rongying away from Bian Jing directly?" Yan Lan asked in a low voice.
Yan remained silent and did not respond.
Seeing this, Yan Lan shrank her neck and did not continue the topic.
Over the years, she has seen her sister's hatred for Xie Jing and her complicated feelings towards Xie Rongying.
But today, when she heard people from the Xie family say in the nunnery that Xie Rongying was in trouble, it was the first time she saw the panic on her sister's face and her eyes red.
In silence, the two Yans walked to the gate of Kaifeng Prefecture.
The constable on duty took a look at Yan and Yan Lan, and just as he was about to ask them, he saw Mother Sun walking towards them.
"Madam, madam, you are finally here." Mother Sun stepped forward and bowed, her tone full of excitement.
Yan's gaze fell on Mother Sun, and there was a hint of emotion in her eyes: "Rong'er, how is she?"
Seeing that Yan Shi was not as indifferent to Xie Rongying as Xie Jing had said, Mother Sun's nose was slightly sore and she said, "The doctor said it's still very dangerous. She can't move. She can only stay here. Her internal organs have been damaged."
Upon hearing this, Yan seemed to be suppressing her emotions. She said, "You haven't woken up since you were injured last night?"
"He woke up once, but only for a moment. He called out 'Grandma' and then fell unconscious again." Mother Sun sighed.
Yan went straight past Mother Sun.
Mother Sun quickly followed Yan's pace, guiding her in which direction to go.
Mrs. Xie never thought that she would see her daughter-in-law again under such circumstances.
If you count carefully, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have not seen each other for almost twelve years.
Rongying left the Xie Mansion when she was six years old. During this period, only Xie Rongying went to the nunnery to see her.
"Wanlou." Old Madam Xie called out.
Yan Wanlou bowed to Madam Xie: "Madam."
Seeing Yan Wanlou's distant tone, Old Lady Xie felt even more sad. She stepped forward to help Yan up and said, "Rongying will definitely be happy to see you when she wakes up."
"Rongying has been so well cared for by the old lady all these years." Yan's distant tone was filled with politeness. "As a mother, I have been so remiss."
"I don't blame you, I don't blame you." Old Madam Xie sighed, "No one in our Xie family blames you."
Yan smiled faintly. How could no one in the Xie family blame her?
She said, "I'm going to see Rongying."
Mrs. Xie nodded, glanced at the people in the room, and motioned them to leave.
Dongxue and Cuizhi understood and followed Madam Xie out.
Yan Lan also followed him out.
After the door was closed, Yan Lan glanced around and frowned, "Why isn't Master Xie here?"
Before Old Madam Xie could speak, Cuizhi explained, "The master has not been feeling well lately, so he rushed to Kaifeng Mansion overnight and was just brought back to the mansion by the young master."
Yan Lan snorted coldly: "He's in poor health at the prime of his life? Could it be that Rong Ying isn't the daughter of the woman he's been thinking about, so he's so indifferent to her?"
Cuizhi shrank her neck and lowered her head, not daring to look at Yan Lan.
Dongxue also lowered her eyes.
Seeing that Madam Xie looked unhappy, Yan Lan immediately explained, "Madam, I'm not targeting you. I know you truly love our Rong Ying."
At this time, Madam Sun supported Old Madam Xie and said, "Ninth Miss, I will help the old lady to rest first."
"Okay." Yan Lan knew that she had said the wrong thing again. Even if she felt resentful, she shouldn't show it in front of Old Lady Xie.
After Madam Xie left, Yan Lan looked at Cuizhi and Dongxue: "Where's Yunniang?"
"Yunniang returned to the countryside with her parents. The girl saw that she was thinking about her parents, so she let her go." Cuizhi explained immediately.
After hearing this, Yan Lan stopped asking questions. She always felt that the people in the Xie family were weird.
If her sister's offspring had not stayed in the Xie family, she really would not have been nice to anyone in the Xie family.
Yan in the room checked Xie Rongying's injuries, and when she saw the blood on the not-so-healed wound, tears welled up in her eyes.
Tears dripped onto the back of Xie Rongying's hand, and she held back her sobs.
She had pretended to be unfriendly to Xie Rongying over the years, but she just couldn't face it, face this poor daughter.
When she first learned about Xie Jing's affair with Feng's daughter, she began to dislike the daughter as well.
She knew that she had no relationship with this daughter at all.
Just thinking about Xie Jing's hypocrisy made her hate him!
Later, she gradually figured it out and realized that she also wanted to care about her daughter, but every time she saw her daughter's understanding and obedience, she couldn't face it, no, she didn't dare to face it.
"Mother?"
Just as Yan was choking with sobs, Xie Rongying shouted weakly.
Seeing Xie Rongying wake up, Yan quickly wiped her cheeks and forced a smile: "I just checked your wound. As long as you take good care of yourself, it's only a matter of time for you to recover."
Xie Rongying looked at the face that had long been blurred in her memory, and felt a sense of novelty.
It seemed that only after she completely left the Yongyi Marquis Mansion did she truly feel reborn.
She truly felt that she would never repeat the mistakes of her past life.
"When did mother come?" Xie Rongying was still tired, her mind a little confused: "What time is it now?"
When Yan heard this, she knew what news Xie Rongying wanted to know.
She said, "It's almost the end of the afternoon. When I arrived in the city, I heard that everyone in the Yongyi Marquis's mansion had been imprisoned. However, the whereabouts of Qin Junyi and Shangguan Jing are still unknown."
Xie Rongying frowned slightly. As she listened to these things, her mind became clearer and clearer.
She wanted to raise her hand, but Yan held it.
"What do you want to do?" Yan saw Xie Rongying raise her hand.
Xie Rongying's voice was weak and low: "Mother, let Xie Ting come to see me."
