Granny Li was stunned, as if she hadn't expected Shang Yunlan to say that.
Seeing that Granny Li remained silent, Shang Yunlan added with a smile, "I still remember when we were little, Granny was very kind to us... An'an had a birthmark on the back of her neck. At that time, she was just beginning to understand things and thought it was ugly. It was Granny who said, 'This birthmark is shaped like a peach blossom and is a gift from the Flower Goddess,' which made An'an much happier."
This was a clever way of putting it, indicating that no matter what happened in the past, the two siblings were now the son and daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, while also subtly telling Granny Li to take good care of Shang Shaoyan.
Granny Li naturally understood the meaning behind this, so she was relieved. A tear flashed in her eyes, and then she solemnly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Don't worry, my lord, I will continue to take good care of the county princess."
Shang Yunlan quickly helped Li Mama up and sighed, "I won't lie to you, An'an's temperament has become much more composed than before, but she is still a young girl after all, and she is bound to have some common girlish quirks. I hope you can keep an eye on her for me..."
Upon hearing this, Granny Li smiled and said, "The Duke has indeed changed a lot. He would never have cared for the County Princess like this before."
These words carried a probing tone, but Shang Yunlan didn't mind. She simply said slowly, "Maybe they were siblings in a past life. Who else should I care about but her?"
The intimacy in her tone was unmistakable, and Granny Li was now completely at ease: "May I ask, sir, how is the county princess now? What are her dietary preferences? Are there any other taboos?"
Shang Yunlan smiled and said, "As the eldest brother, I am like a father to An'an. Both our parents have passed away, so I know her situation better than anyone. Although An'an is a shrewd and calculating person, she is actually very kind at heart. She never punishes servants without cause and disdains using such dirty tricks... As for her diet, it is the same as before. She still likes sweet things, but please remember not to let her eat too many sweets, as they are not good for her health. As for other taboos, there are none, except that An'an does not like others interfering in her marriage and relationships, and even I, as her older brother, cannot control that."
