The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 154

Mo Lan finally learned that it wasn't that the lady wasn't excited about the news from Shu, but that the general hadn't shown it to her at all.

The next day, after the general went to court, Chunyu got up and saw Chunnuan's letter in front of her dressing table.

"Madam, what happened in Shu?"

Seeing the lady frown, Mo Lan was very worried.

"nothing."

Chunyu folded the letter and was about to put it away when she thought about it and decided to ask Molan to fetch a tinderbox to burn it.

Mo Lan was even more puzzled. In the past, the lady would read and carefully keep the family letters, so why would she burn them this time?

Of course, as a qualified maid, I only carry out orders and never ask any questions.

"Did you send a box of pills with the letter?"

"Yes, Madam, I've stored it in the small storeroom."

"Take it out and let's take a look."

Mo Lan went to the small storeroom, and when she returned to the courtyard, she was followed by Ye Feng, one of the general's attendants.

"Just leave it here."

Mo Lan said to Ye Feng, "Thank you very much, Brother Ye Feng."

"You're welcome." Ye Feng didn't even dare to lift his eyes, and left with his ears burning red.

Chunyu, who was inside the room, saw this scene and smiled knowingly.

"How did the night breeze get here?"

“I was having a bit of trouble carrying it, and Brother Yefeng saw it and offered to help.”

"He really has a good eye."

Chunyu thought to herself that she really hadn't realized that this kid had actually set his sights on Molan.

You should know that the general has four attendants, two civil and two military. This kid is just a civil attendant in the inner courtyard, yet he is willing to do hard labor for Mo Lan. It's not just a matter of being kind-hearted.

This man was very knowledgeable and highly regarded by the general. He was more of a friend than a servant; the general regarded the four of them as brothers.

Such a person is highly respected in the general's mansion, and is also very aloof. He would never glance at anyone while walking. However, this very person happened to see that Mo Yu couldn't move the wooden box. What do you think he was thinking?
"This box is indeed a bit heavy."

Chunyu came out, carried the boxes, and smiled.

Mo Lan's face also turned red.

See, this is a case of mutual affection, but it seems neither of them has been able to make the promise.

"Perfect timing. The old lady and Panpan are both away from home these days, and I'm just killing time anyway. Why don't I arrange a marriage between you and Jianlan?" Chunyu asked casually, "Do you have someone in mind?"

Mo Lan blushed and shook her head.

"Where's the gladiolus?"

"I will leave it to Madam to decide."

Jianlan, being straightforward and honest, immediately said, "If Madam thinks it's good, then it's good."

"You really trust my judgment so much?" Chunyu laughed. "Silly girl, I've also made mistakes. My judgment isn't that good."

Back then, my grandfather didn't approve of the Wu family, but I was stubborn and insisted on marrying into it.

Looking at the general, when he confessed his love to her with a burning heart, she dared not believe it and dared not marry him.

If it weren't for the imperial decree, Chunyu wouldn't have dared to gamble.

"With you in charge, I have nothing to worry about."

No matter what, that person definitely wouldn't dare to bully me.

"You little rascal." Chunyu chuckled. She really had her figured out. The more she acted this way, the less Chunyu dared to be careless. She was determined to choose a good one for Jianlan. As for Molan, even when pushed to this point, she still wouldn't admit it. This girl was quite perceptive.

"Alright, I'll ask around after the general's court session to see if there are any suitable candidates for you. Then you can choose a husband for yourselves."

"Madam, I will not marry." Mo Lan blushed. "I will serve you forever."

In the past, Chunyu would have believed it, but today she wouldn't. This girl was clearly afraid that she would ruin her good marriage by playing matchmaker.

"You're not going to marry him?" Chunyu teased her deliberately. "That's a real pity. I was thinking that the four young men around the general are all quite good. I wondered if you could pick one that you like. But if you're not going to marry him, then forget it."

Now it was Mo Lan's turn to be dumbfounded.

No way, the lady is planning to choose one of these four men as her husband? If...

But she's already said everything she wanted to say, so what should she do now?

If we change the subject now, we'll be contradicting ourselves.

Mo Lan's face turned bright red.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore." Chunyu couldn't bear to see her suffer like this, so she quickly said, "Tell me secretly who you like, and I'll ask the General later. As long as he's a reliable person and he's also interested in you, you can get married right away."

"No, no, this servant doesn't like anyone."

After saying that, he turned around and ran outside.

As a result, when he ran to the entrance of the inner courtyard, he almost bumped into someone. When he looked up, it was Ye Feng.

"Brother Night Breeze..."

Mo Lan's face turned even redder, and she turned and ran away again.

Night breeze...

Never mind, I have more important things to report.

"Madam, Ye Feng requests an audience."

The little maid at the door reported back.

"Invite him in."

Chunyu thought that someone couldn't sit still any longer, so they came rushing to propose marriage.
When Ye Feng came in, the expression on his face made Chun Yu's heart skip a beat. What could have made someone who never showed his emotions change his expression like this?

"Madam, something has happened." Ye Feng handed Chunyu a piece of paper about the width of a finger: "Bandits broke into the manor last night, and the old lady and the eldest young lady were kidnapped."

what?
Chunyu tried to stand up but her legs gave way, but Jianlan caught her just in time.

"Madam, the General has not yet returned from court. What do you think about this matter...?"

"How do you handle emergencies in normal times?"

Chunyu, a woman confined to the inner quarters, had never experienced anything like this before. Her mind was buzzing, but she forced herself to calm down and asked with difficulty.

"The General's Mansion's emergency measures will be activated," Ye Feng said. "However, the General instructed that, as mentioned above, he is not in the mansion, and all major events will be handled according to your arrangements."

"Then let's do as you say and activate the emergency measures." Xiao Chunyu hadn't expected Xia Guangcheng to give her such great authority, to make the people in the mansion follow her orders. She was both touched and guilty. She didn't understand anything, so what could she do in such an important matter?

So when Ye Feng mentioned having emergency measures, Xiao Chunyu immediately decided to do as Ye Feng suggested.

"Yes, ma'am."

Night Breeze nodded. Sure enough, the general trusted his wife completely: "Madam, based on our analysis, this group is probably after you and Miss. It's best if you don't go out, so that we can ensure your safety."

"No, I have to go to the village..."

"Madam, please forgive my bluntness: going to the manor would be useless for you. You will be very safe in the General's Mansion. However, if you leave the manor, we will assign some people to protect you, which will inevitably reduce the effort we have to search for the Old Madam and the Eldest Miss..."

“Alright, I’ll listen to you. I won’t leave the manor.” Xiao Chunyu thought to herself that she couldn’t hold them back. “However, I need to know the progress at all times.”

"I will send a message back every two hours," Ye Feng said. "Don't worry, the old lady and the young lady will be fine."
