Chapter 141 I Have Nothing to Say to Her
An hour later, Lan Xiyue slowly opened her eyes and sat up. She had slept for an hour and was severely sleep-deprived. She rubbed her aching head.
In early spring, my eyes were red and swollen, and there were bruises under my eyes. I also didn't sleep all night.
She walked in quietly with a delicious breakfast in her hand. Seeing that Lan Xiyue had already sat up, she walked to the table and put down the breakfast.
"Miss, you're awake. The old lady's maid came over just now. She wanted to have dinner with you, but since you were still asleep, she didn't wake you. The maid said she only had the kitchen prepare a lot of dry food last night, and it's all been properly placed in the carriage."
Chuchun then walked over, took out a heavy stack of silver notes from her bosom, and handed it over with both hands: "This is the ten thousand taels of silver notes that the old lady gave to the young lady. She said that when you go out, it is always better to have more silver on hand to be prepared."
Lan Xiyue took the banknote and felt a little warm in her heart. In her previous life, she was an orphan with no relatives. There was only the strange old man who gave her instructions over and over again before she went on a mission. The old lady's kindness and care were just like the strange old man in the past, making her like the old lady even more.
Lan Xiyue gently stuffed the banknote into her sleeve, but in fact she had quietly put it into the space.
She walked to the shelf, picked up the towel in the copper basin, and began to wash carefully. The clear water droplets slid across her cheeks, taking away some of her sleepiness, and she felt much more awake.
Sitting back at the table, Lan Xiyue's gaze fell on Chu Xia, who lowered her head and remained silent. Compared to her usual lively and adorable Chu Xia, she was very quiet at this moment.
Lan Xiyue waved her hand: "Come and eat with us, we have to leave after we finish eating."
Chu Xia raised her head upon hearing this. The blush on her face had faded, leaving only the scratches she had made unintentionally. She choked and said, "Miss, Chu Chun told me everything. Will this servant die?"
Lan Xiyue picked up a bun and took a bite. "I won't die."
Chu Xia's eyes lit up and she ran over, "Miss, are you serious?"
Lan Xiyue nodded and slurred her words as she ate, "Really? The worst that can happen is I'll chop off your arm. I have plenty of ways to save your life."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xia sat down with a plop, her face uglier than crying, "Miss, it would be better for me to die than to chop off my arm."
Chuchun's eyes reddened again when she heard this: "It's all my fault. If I had listened to the young lady and thrown away the rouge, Chuxia wouldn't have used it by mistake."
Lan Xiyue shook her head. "Okay, don't be too discouraged. Once we get to Demon Valley Mountain and find the herbs, Chuxia will be fine."
Chu Xia picked up a steamed bun and ate it listlessly. "Miss, you are really wise. The second young lady is so evil that she actually hurt you so much. Fortunately, you are useless, otherwise..."
Lan Xiyue narrowed her eyes slightly and said, Lan Lingrou, just wait. When I come back, that will be the day of your death.
She had traveled through time and space with a kind heart, but some people were seeking death and repeatedly challenged her patience.
After breakfast, Lan Xiyue walked into the old lady's room.
The old lady was sitting by the window, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand. When she saw Lan Xiyue come in, her eyes suddenly showed distress and love. She put down the beads and waved, "Yueyue, come, come to grandma."
Lan Xiyue walked to the old lady's side and sat down obediently.
The old lady looked at her carefully, her wrinkled face full of concern. "I heard from Chuchun that Chuxia was sick last night. You were busy all night and only took a nap when it was almost dawn. Why don't you sleep a little longer? Is Chuxia okay?"
Lan Xiyue smiled slightly, "Chuxia is fine, grandma, I'm here to say goodbye to you."
Upon hearing this, the old lady frowned slightly, full of reluctance, "Yueyue, why are you in such a hurry? You didn't get enough rest last night. Wait until you have enough rest before leaving. Otherwise, it won't be too late to leave tomorrow morning!"
Lan Xiyue shook her head and smiled, "Grandma, don't worry, I can rest in the carriage."
The old lady was very helpless and tapped Lan Xiyue's forehead. "You are just like your mother when she was young. Once you make up your mind, even ten oxen can't pull you back."
Lan Xiyue leaned affectionately on the old lady's shoulder and said, "I am your daughter, so I naturally look like you. Thank you for the banknotes, Grandma. I will accept them. I also appreciate the dry food that Grandma prepared for me. Grandma is very thoughtful."
Upon hearing this, the old lady's eyes flashed with relief, "Yueyue, be careful outside and come back soon. Grandma's place will always be your home."
Lan Xiyue hummed, then stood up to say goodbye. Suddenly remembering something, she turned around and asked, "Grandma, have you taken the longevity pills I gave you?"
The old lady smiled and nodded. "I took it last night. I feel so much more relaxed after taking it. I woke up this morning and my head isn't dizzy or bloated anymore. Our Yueyue is really capable. The medicine she made is more effective than those doctors out there."
"Grandma, I'll collect more herbs later and refine more for you."
The old lady held Lan Xiyue's hand, her eyes filled with reluctance. "Yueyue, you are so capable and filial. Grandma is so proud of you. When the time comes, I will definitely show off to my old sisters. Our Yueyue is extremely smart, self-taught, and now she is a little miracle doctor! She is not as bad as people say outside."
"Grandma, I have to go." Lan Xiyue stood up again and prepared to leave.
The old lady also stood up and reluctantly took her hand, "Grandma will take you out."
Without waiting for Lan Xiyue to speak, the old lady had already taken her hand and walked towards the door step by step.
Qin Lan and Liu Fangmin, the two aunts, had already been standing by the door, and the figures of the old lady and Lan Xiyue slowly came into view.
Qin Lan hurried forward and said with concern: "Yueyue, Buddhism is hard and it must be difficult for you, a child."
Lan Xiyue lowered her head slightly, her voice as soft as a mosquito: "Aunt, Second Aunt, chanting sutras for Mother's salvation is what a son should do. I only hope that Mother's spirit in heaven can rest in peace."
Lan Xiyue muttered in her heart: My dear mother, I'm sorry for using you as an excuse. However, after I come back, I will definitely ask someone to invite a high monk to chant sutras to help you and your daughter pass away. I will never go back on my word.
Yun Yiyi, who was standing aside, glanced at Lan Xiyue and quickly looked away. What happened yesterday made her feel guilty and curious as to why Lan Xiyue was not in Lvmanxuan yesterday. She also looked for the maid later but couldn't find her.
Last night, her mother sternly asked her what had happened. She had confessed the truth, but she didn't mention Sister Yan. She just said that she hated Lan Xiyue and wanted to teach her a lesson.
Her mother scolded her, and she realized her mistake. She shouldn't have done such a thing at her grandmother's birthday party. If it got out of hand, both the Wuguo Marquisate and the Huguogongate would be embarrassed.
Qin Lancha tugged at her sleeve and said, "Yiyi, don't you want to say a few words to your cousin?"
Yun Yiyi's lips moved slightly, and she said awkwardly, "I have nothing to say to her."
Qin Lan glared at Yun Yiyi, then turned to Lan Xiyue and gave her an apologetic look.
Lan Xiyue glanced at Yun Yiyi with cold eyes. Yun Yiyi's heart skipped a beat when she met her gaze. She frowned and took a step back. Why did Lan Xiyue's eyes make her feel scared?
Lan Xiyue retracted her gaze and smiled faintly, "It's getting late, Grandma, Aunt, Second Aunt, I'm leaving now."
The old lady's eyes turned red when she heard this and she nodded slightly.
