When Daya saw Princess Yu had found An An and brought her to her doorstep, she immediately trotted over, laughing and saying in a flattering manner:
"Princess Yu, have you found the Second Young Miss? This is truly great news. I've been worried about her these past few days, afraid she wouldn't be eating or sleeping well. This child is destined to be with our family..."
"Shut up."
Seeing that her words were becoming increasingly unreliable, Fan Tiancheng interrupted her impatiently, came over to pull her away, and shouted at her angrily:
"Get lost! The Second Miss came back to see her mother. What does this have to do with you? Princess Yu has shown you mercy by not punishing you."
An An also glared at Daya with a pair of eyes, scaring her so much that she sneered at An An several times and then quietly retreated to the side.
Daya stopped talking, and the place became quiet. Grandma was busy greeting people.
"Come sit inside. I gave these copper coins away and cannot accept them..."
"Please accept it."
Luo Lan saw the old lady looking at the copper coins with a guilty look on her face, so she took another ingot of silver from Ah Cai's hand and put it in her hand.
"Auntie, no matter what others do, we will always remember your kindness to An An. Please accept this little token of your appreciation."
"You are too polite to say that, Princess. I cannot accept this money. I have been regretting it these past few days. If I had not agreed to let An An go, wouldn't you have been able to find her directly after you came, saving a lot of trouble? How could I have the face to accept your money? I'll take it back now!"
Luo Lan stuffed the silver into her hand again, chuckled and shook his head.
"Even if you don't let An An go, do you think she'll stay here obediently? She won't even have enough to eat, and she might be in danger. We don't know when we'll find her, so don't blame yourself. Everything is destined. You have to accept this money no matter what. I just heard that you seem to be planning to live on your own. If that's the case, go to Yancheng. I'll tell the local officials to take extra care of you."
Daya, who was hiding on the side and secretly listening, heard this and hurriedly passed Fan Tiancheng and ran over from the other side. She licked her face and smiled at Luo Lan in a flattering way:
"My mother was just a little angry with me, and she said that in anger. This is her home, where else could she go?"
After saying this, she looked at her mother again and said kindly:
"Mom, stop making trouble. Let's go home. We are unfamiliar with the place. What if you get into danger?"
The old lady glared at her, snorted unhappily, then turned to Luo Lan and An An and said with a smile:
"Princess Yu, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you by this family scandal. Please come in and have some tea."
Luo Lan smiled and waved his hand, then looked at Daya,
"Your name is Daya?"
"Yes, yes."
"You abused the Second Young Miss of Prince Yu's Mansion. If I pursue this charge, you'll be sentenced to several years in prison. But for your mother's sake, I'm temporarily pardoning you. By the way, only temporarily. I'll keep this offense in my memory. In the future, if I find you dare to be unfilial to your mother, I'll pursue this charge against you again. You understand."
"I hear you clearly, I hear you clearly."
Daya nodded repeatedly in agreement. She would never dare to offend Princess Yu in front of her even if she was beaten to death.
Luo Lan then lowered his head to look at An An and discussed quietly.
"An An, there are still many people waiting for us. Grandma, you have seen them too. Shouldn't we go back?"
An An looked at her grandmother reluctantly, pouted, clasped her hands together and said:
"Grandma, a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. An An will come to see you again when there is a chance in the future."
This sentence made Dayaniang's eyes red instantly, and she nodded repeatedly.
"Good, good, I'm lucky that the Second Miss thought of me. My life on earth is not in vain."
Luo Lan also looked at the old lady and smiled faintly:
"Auntie, we have to hurry and can't delay any longer. Please take care of yourself. I will bring An An to see you when I have the chance in the future."
After saying this, she took An An's hand, turned around and walked towards the village entrance.
Dayaniang secretly wiped away her tears. She weighed the silver Luo Lan gave her, feeling filled with emotion.
She never dreamed that she would have the opportunity to meet Princess Yu, the female physician of Daning Kingdom, and the second lady of Prince Yu's Mansion.
With red eyes, she waved at their backs and murmured,
"I, an old woman, have not lived in vain."
Daya came forward with a nod and a bow, smiling flatteringly.
"Mom, let's go back to the house. It's so windy outside."
When Dayaniang saw her looking at the silver ingot, her mouth was almost watering. She snorted coldly with disdain.
"Don't think about this ingot of silver. It was left by Princess Yu. You can't think about it anymore."
After saying this, she looked towards the village entrance again with a faint smile on her lips.
The backs of Luo Lan and the other three, illuminated by the sunlight, looked so pretty, so clear, and full of hope and vitality...
…
Leng Yu and his group finally arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion at dusk. Liu Dechang, who had already learned the news, brought Xiaoling, Luo Xue, Huaiyu, Lele and others, and waited anxiously at the door, looking forward to it.
When they saw Luo Lan pulling An An out of the carriage, Luo Xue was the first to run over with a smile on her face, hugged An An, and said with tears in her eyes:
"An An, you missed your aunt so much. Where have you been? We've been looking for you so hard."
An An pouted, rested her chin on Luo Xue's shoulder, waved to Huaiyu and Lele who were not far away, and muttered,
