Chapter 280

As soon as Yan Cangxiong finished speaking, Mrs. Chen heard the strings and knew that Yayi followed Yan Cangxiong's words and wanted to adopt Ai Lan as a righteous daughter.

Ai Lan has already seen through Chen's and Yan Cangxiong's thoughts, and naturally understands the purpose behind their actions this time. Although there are surprises on the face, it is more of helpless sadness: "The love of the Lord and his wife for Erlan, Erlan It's really a great honor, but Erlan would never dare to agree to adopting a adopted daughter, as for the reason, it's really... well, don't mention it, please forgive me, Lord Hou and Madam!"

"Oh? I don't know Erlan, can you tell me what the reason is, maybe we can solve it for you, you don't know, are you right?" Chen received the hint from Yan Cangxiong's eyes, still smiling gently and amiably.

Ai Lan raised her head to look at Mrs. Chen, then glanced at Yan Cangxiong again, with a helpless expression on her face, she shook her head: "Madam, you don't need to ask, I'm afraid it won't affect you if you say it!" Ku Dachou sighed deeply.

"Really? You should speak out and listen. This Marquis will make the decision for you!" Yan Cangxiong raised his sword-like eyebrows. Although he had tried his best to restrain himself, he still showed a condescending expression of charity.

Seeing Yan Cangxiong's expression, Mother Chen recalled the pet dog Xiaobai raised by Ai Lan, and was suddenly touched by a smile.

Hearing this, Ai Lan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but the melancholy on her face was still there, and she stammered: "That's...the servant girl had... a bad reputation before being sold into the tooth shop..." Ai Lan saw Chen Shi and Yan Cangxiong When I heard the word "bad name", my emotions fluctuated, but I pretended to be disapproving, so I lowered my eyebrows and said the following words smoothly.

After hearing this, Chen Shi and Yan Cangxiong's smiles were a little stiff, and they looked at Ai Lan from head to toe several times. His father died when he was young, and his only elder brother was also seriously ill in bed. His mother was unable to support the siblings, so she reluctantly sold her. After a short breath, she followed her, and then she accidentally met an old divination man, who told her that she was destined to be fierce, and that she was dedicated to killing her relatives...

Such a fate is indeed quite evil. Chen Shi and Yan Cangxiong immediately let go of the thought of accepting Ai Lan as a righteous daughter, with a more hypocritical smile on their faces, thinking in their hearts that they should compensate Ai Lan more in terms of money and material, so that they can see opportunities in the future act.

So Yan Cangxiong hurriedly left Tianxiang Garden with the words "we will discuss this matter later", and before leaving, he specially asked Mrs. Chen to satisfy Ailan whenever she needs anything.Mrs. Chen complied meekly, and let Nanny Chen open a private treasury, and took expensive silks and satins, jewelry ornaments, and various rare and precious supplements for Ai Lan. This time, it was a gift, not a reward.

When Ailan returned to the Sanskrit residence, a group of maidservants followed behind her, holding things from Mrs. Chen, and filling up the room where she lived with licorice and still water.

Yan Xiaofan and the others felt more and more curious and uneasy, but Ai Lan didn't explain it. She would accept anyone who showed her favor, and she would accept what someone gave her. She didn't have the noble values ​​of treating money as dung.

After Chen Shi and Yan Cangxiong, the old lady also found Ai Lan a few times. The old lady's attitude was normal, but she mentioned from time to time that Ai Lan saved her, and took this opportunity to give Ai Lan many good things.

All the dignitaries in the mansion treated Ai Lan with courtesy, which made other people in the mansion keenly aware that something was about to happen, and more people followed suit and gave gifts immediately.
