An Yan said: "Madam, there are already city slaves in West City."

"There can be more than one city slave." The old lady said with a smile, and then sat down on the stone bench again. She glanced at Li Rongsen and said, "Although I am old and useless, I still know some things. There can be many city slaves in West City. It depends on how many the city lord wants."

This was the first time Li Rongsen heard about this, and he was a little surprised. And seeing that An Yan did not refute her words, it was obvious that this was the fact, and he couldn't help but feel that the situation was a little serious.

Mancao had already understood the general meaning. She naturally wanted An Yan to be with her brother. This way, they could become relatives and be helpful to Lin Jian. It would be a win-win situation for everyone.

But An Yan didn't think so. She said, "I don't need so many city slaves. One is enough."

"This man is responsible for his good looks, and my grandson is responsible for the work. Isn't this the best of both worlds?" The old lady said in a serious tone, and then said, "Besides, you have done me a favor, and you will also do my grandson a favor. Everything is as it should be."

"I don't think you need to repay me in this way, and I can't afford it." An Yan still refused.

After hearing An Yan's repeated rejections, the old lady began to understand. She was silent at first, and then said, "How about this, stay for ten days and see how he is?"

An Yan said: "Let alone ten days, even if it's a hundred days, I won't change my mind."

"Why?" The old lady frowned. She was very disappointed. She really liked An Yan. She said to her, "As long as you agree, everything here will be yours. It all belongs to West City. Are you not satisfied?"

"I have no intention of taking other people's things. Everything here belongs to you only. If someone comes to rob you in the future, I will definitely help you. I have already recognized Mancao and Manteng as my friends." An Yan explained to the old lady.

"What a pity! My grandson is also a handsome man." The old lady sighed, looked up at the moon again, and said, "Why can't you give him a chance? It only takes ten days."

"Really not." An Yan refused as usual.

The old lady then said, "How do you know that you won't change your mind about him and treat him differently within ten days?"

"I know myself and understand myself." An Yan told her confidently.

Li Rongsen felt relieved after hearing this, and he also felt proud of it. After all, no one could compete with him for his position, which showed the benefits of being the first.

The old lady looked at Li Rongsen and said to him, "You shouldn't be so selfish and monopolize the city lord. You should also persuade her to take in some other people. This is also for her own good."

When An Yan heard this, she quickly jumped out and said, "I won't allow him to do this. If he really does this, I will kick him out of Xicheng. Please let go of this idea, old lady."

"Grandma, don't force it." At this time, Man Teng walked in from outside the yard.

He changed his clothes and cleaned up his face. He was no longer as rough as before. He could indeed be described as handsome, and he also had a masculine air.

Mancao frowned. She felt a little disappointed, but love matters cannot be forced.

Man Teng said to Anyan: "My grandmother also has good intentions. I am not forcing you. Besides, you and I are just friends on equal terms. However, I do admire your abilities."

"You're welcome." An Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.

That is to say, how could Man Teng fall in love with me for no reason? There is no emotional foundation between the two of them, so it is unlikely. Fortunately, he is not obsessed, otherwise this matter would be very troublesome.

"But I, an old woman, like you so much. How can I not feel sad?" The old lady felt it was a pity. She originally wanted to strengthen the relationship between the relatives. Besides, there were many people coveting the forest. With An Yan in charge, there would be no need to worry about insecurity.

An Yan thought for a moment, and then said to the old lady: "How about this, you treat me as your granddaughter, is that okay?"

The old lady's eyes lit up, and her face immediately came alive. She said, "That's good. How old are you? If you are older than them, you should be their elder sister."

"They should be about the same age, so I'd better rank third."

"That won't do. We won't judge by age. No matter what, Xicheng can't be ranked third. You have to be ranked first and be the eldest sister." The old lady insisted on doing this.

Mancao chuckled and looked at Manteng. She saw that he was frowning but not saying anything.

"This is not good. I am younger than Manteng, but older than Mancao. I am the number one among the girls." An Yan said to the old lady.

"Okay, as you wish." The old lady was very happy and immediately ordered the servants to bring tea.

An Yan took the tea, offered it to the old lady with both hands, and said, "Grandma, please have some tea."

The old lady took a sip of the wine, then took off an item from her body and handed it to An Yan, saying, "I don't have anything to give you. This is a piece of amber with a butterfly inside. It emits fragrance all year round, and mosquitoes will not be able to be kept away when placed in the house."

"Thank you, grandma." An Yan took it and put it in her bag.

Mancao walked up to her, held An Yan's hand, and called her sweetly, "Hello, sister."

"Good boy." An Yan smiled and nodded.

Man Teng just lowered her eyes and said nothing. She looked up at the moonlight and said to the old lady, "Grandma, you should go back and rest."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Yes, I am indeed a little sleepy, so I will go back to my room first." The old lady said and walked out with Man Teng.

Mancao in the yard said to Anyan: "The rooms have been cleaned up for you, go to bed early."

"Where?" An Yan asked.

"It's the biggest one. Everything is ready." Mancao pointed to a room with a big red lantern hanging at the door.

An Yan and Li Rongsen walked over together and found that the other rooms were not tidied up and only this one was suitable for sleeping.

Li Rongsen frowned and said, "How can this be possible?"

"You stay in this room, and I'll sleep in the tree."

"How can that be possible? If anyone wants to sleep, I'll go. There's no reason for me to let you sleep on a tree." Li Rongsen replied.

At this time, seeing Qingfeng coming over, he said, "Mancao thought you two were going to sleep together, so he didn't prepare the extra room. Why don't you invite him to sleep in my room?"

"That's fine." Li Rongsen agreed immediately.

An Yan naturally wouldn't force him, she said: "Okay, you go with him, see you tomorrow morning."

Li Rongsen felt that this place was safe, so he followed Qingfeng. He was still a little sleepy at first, but after chatting with Qingfeng all night, they found the conversation more and more interesting, so they did not fall asleep until noon.

Mancao was circling around An Yan. She said, "I'll go wake them up. How can two grown men still sleep in?"

"Let them sleep. They should have been chatting last night." An Yan didn't find it strange. While crushing the seeds of the newly sprouted Ganoderma lucidum, she said to Mancao, "You have to keep an eye on those plants. Pick them once a month, crush them, boil them in water and make soup. Let your brother drink it."

"Okay, I've written it all down." Mancao nodded, but her attention was entirely on Qingfeng.

An Yan was busy putting the crushed medicine into the medicine pot to boil, while saying to Man Cao: "What are you in such a hurry for?"

"I was thinking, what if they fell in love?" Mancao still didn't quite believe it. She had to be on guard against both women and men, and there absolutely couldn't be any mistakes.
