Chapter 48: Begin to fight back
Don't look at the eyes of the people, don't guess what the people think.
Yan Minglan took Amber through the crowd and returned to the big bedroom.
She sat down on a pineapple recliner, and Amber hurriedly beckoned the servants below to bring hot tea.
"Miss, warm up."
Amber took the tea and put it on the coffee table in front of Yan Minglan, kindly reminded, and then took a plain cloth to carefully wipe her hair that was still dripping.
Yan Minglan sat on the chair, holding the teacup without saying a word, and Amber wiped her hair, thinking that Miss would not fall into the water and have a problem.
Yan Minglan pondered all the events that happened this time in her mind.
So... Is it true that these people have teamed up to get rid of her?
She suddenly asks Amber in a loud voice, interrupting Amber's thoughts.
"Amber, where did you go before?"
Amber paused with his still moving hand and replied quickly.
"The second lady insisted on letting people stop the slave and the maid and not let the slave and maid go."
She hesitated, then added.
"Miss, do you say that the second miss is also ......?"
Without waiting for her to finish, Yan Minglan nodded clearly and spit out a few words, confirming her conjecture.
"One of the conspirators."
Amber didn't wipe her hair anymore, and immediately scolded angrily in a whisper.
"Second Miss and Third Miss are so bad! They ......"
She didn't know that her young lady had already closed the ghost door, she just thought that they were making things difficult for Miss, Yan Minglan didn't have the idea of saying it, this girl knew that she couldn't calm down, and she couldn't hide it when she saw her in the future, but it only added to her troubles.
Yan Minglan's ears were surrounded by the sound of amber chirping, and she suddenly remembered another person...... No, a spirit.
She closed her eyes and entered the spirit world, whispering to the machine spirit.
"Xuanwu?"
She knew that it must have been the machine spirit that saved her this time, and she had come to say thank you.
"I'm here."
The Machine Spirit replied.
It's just that the light body of the machine spirit is much dimmer compared to before, and the voice is much weaker.
Probably this help also had a bad impact on it, and thinking of this, she was even more disgusted with those people.
It seems that there are those who will never stop if they are not punished.
She came back to her senses and felt that her surroundings had been too quiet.
In the past, it was the machine spirit chattering around and talking non-stop, but now it has few words, which makes Yan Minglan a little uncomfortable.
"Thank you, Xuanwu, for helping me again."
"Nothing, host, this is what I'm supposed to do."
The spirit spoke in a cheerful tone.
"It's just that I can't move too many outside forces, so I can't help when the host falls into the water at first."
Yan Minglan nodded, indicating understanding.
"It's okay, I understand."
The machine spirit regained its twittering nature, Yan Minglan was probably used to it, and she didn't feel bored, and continued to start today's translation practice.
Back in the real world, it's evening, and just an hour has passed, and only Amber dozing in the dormitory is guarding her.
She moved her neck, her hair was completely dry.
She raised her eyes and screamed.
"Amber."
Amber woke up and opened her eyes in a daze.
"Miss, the slave is here, what's wrong?"
"Prepare hot water for me, I want to bathe."
Everything was like a lifetime away, it was obviously not long ago, but she felt that the pressure of death was a long time ago.
It's probably fear, so the memories in the brain choose to go deep and forget.
Now that the feeling of oppression is almost gone, I think of something else.
The lake water was dirty, and she actually forgot to clean herself, feeling a little uncomfortable all over her body.
Amber immediately responded, and went out to prepare.
In a few moments, she came in and replied.
"Hot water, miss."
"Hmm."
Yan Minglan stripped off her clothes, and Amber smeared her with bottles and jars of spices.
She closed her eyes in contemplation.
I carefully figured out the countermeasures in my head.
It was Aunt Yan Ruoxi and Aunt Liu who did it, but Aunt Zhang and Yan Ling'er also participated.
How should these people be punished?
She thought of Yan Luoyi who appeared at the flower viewing party again.
Yan Luoyi didn't have anything to do today, but it was strange.
Don't... She was also involved?
Yan Luoyi, who had been guarding all day, was happy at home, and she also knew about Yan Minglan's falling into the water, and felt that it was really a wicked person with evil retribution, so she suddenly sneezed a few times.
Which little slut is scolding me, she thought fiercely.
Yan Minglan here didn't know these things, she had already figured out how to deal with these people.
After Yan Minglan finished bathing, she told Amber that she was going to be sick tomorrow, and asked her to take care of the slaves in the house.
Amber was puzzled.
"Miss, aren't you good? How can I get sick tomorrow. ”
Yan Minglan had no choice but to tell Amber her plan.
Amber immediately expressed her loyalty and said that she would be optimistic about those people, and she would cooperate to spread the news of the eldest lady's illness.
Yan Minglan was not very relieved, and instructed her a few more words, and then went to bed. A thrilling day passed.
……
The next day, everyone in the Yan Mansion knew that the eldest lady in charge, Yan Minglan, had fallen ill.
Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhang were thieves, but they didn't expect Yan Minglan to come back alive, so they didn't dare to visit her at all.
Hearing the news that she was sick, several people were unmoved, and even expected that it would be best to die of illness like this, so they would rest easy.
After a few days, everyone in the Yan Mansion knew that the eldest lady Yan Minglan couldn't afford to be sick, and even vomited blood, which sounded like she was terminally ill, so she hung on for her life, and she didn't even attend the ceremony of the translator sealing the official.
Whether it is a master or a slave, the hearts of the people are panicked and turbulent.
The two aunts in the house beat gongs and drums and began to prepare to fight for the rights of the housekeeper.
Especially Aunt Liu, she also sent a message to her relatives.
There are also a lot of "clever" slaves and maids who have begun to think about which master should they go with if the eldest lady is gone? Which master will be in charge of the house?
And Yan Minglan, who vomited blood in everyone's mouth and hung for her life, was being served by Amber to rinse her mouth and wash away the smell of blood.
She took a sip of the amber-boiled milk to taste it.
"How's it going, is there any news?" She sent the others out, leaving only Amber behind, asked.
"Aunt Liu sent a message outside."
Yan Minglan knew what Aunt Liu wanted to do when she thought about it.
It's just wishful thinking.
"Aunt Liu, does Aunt Zhang have secret contact?" She asked again.
"Nope." Amber recalls the news quickly.
Sure enough, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
When it comes to money and power, two women will face each other beyond recognition like competitive roosters.
"In a few days, I'll invite Aunt Zhang to come." Yan Minglan commanded without hurrying or slow.
"Yes, miss, the slave has written it down."
……
"Minglan girl, what are you calling me for?"
Aunt Zhang had just been invited by Amber, and she was nervous, so she was hung on a chair for several minutes, and Yan Minglan on the bed didn't speak, she was an anxious person, and the more time passed, the more panicked she became, and she couldn't help but ask directly.
Yan Minglan moved her gaze from the book in her hand to Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang shrunk her neck, her eyes lowered and she didn't dare to look at her.
She smelled the smell of medicine in this big dormitory, and muttered in her heart, what kind of books do you read when you are sick and die?
Yan Minglan didn't think about it, and went straight to the topic.
"I invited Aunt Zhang to come because I wanted to ask Aunt Zhang something."
"What's the matter?" Aunt Zhang was even more worried, afraid that she would ask why she wanted to kill her.
"Aunt Zhang, do you know what Aunt Liu did?" Yan Minglan asked.
Aunt Zhang was at a loss, Aunt Liu had done a lot of things, and there were several things that harmed her, and she didn't know what she was talking about.
Yan Minglan saw her dazed and added.
"Aunt Liu sent a letter to her relatives."
"Oh, I know. What's going on? Aunt Zhang was puzzled.
She heard about it a few days ago, but she didn't think about it deeply, just sending a message, it wasn't something worth paying attention to.
"But there's a problem with the letter?"
Aunt Zhang asked instinctively.
Yan Minglan continued to remind: "Aunt Liu is very thoughtful, and she wants to unite her relatives to win the Yan family in the letter. ”
"The Yan family is so easy to be taken away." Aunt Zhang was in the house and didn't understand the current situation very well, so she subconsciously retorted.
"Now the Yan family, my father and mother are gone, and I ......"
Yan Minglan sighed worriedly.
"There is no one in charge, if Aunt Liu and her relatives Hai family should cooperate with the outside world, the Yan family is afraid that it will be annexed, and no one will be able to keep it."
Aunt Zhang also thought of the stakes, and was a little anxious, if the Yan family became Aunt Liu, where would there be a place for her and Yan Ling'er.
She hurriedly said: "Then what can I do, Minglan girl, the Yan family was handed over to you by your father, you can't put it in the hands of traitors." ”
She just wanted to grab Yan Minglan's sleeve with her hand, and thought that she was seriously ill, so her hand turned in the air and retracted it.
Yan Minglan sneered in her heart, she would beg me at this time.
She pretended not to see Aunt Zhang's small movements.
I shook it with both hands, and I grabbed it very tightly, and Aunt Zhang's hands were numb and I lost my feelings.
"I know that Aunt Zhang is different from Aunt Liu, so I invited Aunt Zhang to discuss countermeasures today."
She paused and said.
"In the past, Aunt Zhang was also deceived by Aunt Liu, not out of her original intention."
Aunt Zhang's heart was weak, and she didn't dare to show her disgust and withdraw her hands.
Hearing this, he also nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, it was Aunt Liu who instigated me, and it will definitely not be in the future."
She didn't expect Yan Minglan to think of herself like this, and when she thought of what she had done, she suddenly felt a little guilty.
Compared with Aunt Liu, who is cunning and ruthless and ambitious, Yan Minglan is still empathetic, she is really blindsided.
Yan Minglan saw that the time had come, and hurriedly called Amber and instructed her, deliberately letting Aunt Zhang hear clearly, "Amber, you give some of the account books in the house to Aunt Zhang." ”
He turned his head to Aunt Zhang, who was looking stunned.
"In the future, the Yan family will not have me, and they will also need someone in charge, I think Aunt Zhang is very suitable, so I will start to learn to manage government affairs from today."
This is what she discussed with Amber, so as to relax Aunt Zhang's vigilance and only give her some things that look beautiful but have no real power for her to manage, even if she messes up, it will not be a big problem.
The last worry in Aunt Zhang's heart is gone.
She's going to be in power! Even if Yan Minglan really wants to do something, she will have a stable position after being in power for a long time!
Moreover, she sniffed the wing of her nose, the smell of medicine in this room is so strong, it seems that this girl has not lived long, but she is hanging on to her life with medicine.
She glanced at Yan Minglan's pale and bloodless face again, and she was even more sure of this idea.
"I will definitely take care of it, Minglan girl, you can rest assured!"
Aunt Zhang was afraid that Yan Minglan would regret it, so she immediately answered.
Yan Minglan smiled lightly and bowed her head, asked Amber to hand over the things to her, and then sent someone out.
Amber came back after a while and nodded at Yan Minglan.
Yan Minglan put her mind at ease.
Recently, Amber has been doing things more and more, and she has a posture of being able to take charge on her own, and she is also a lot easier.
Next, just wait to see the show.
The dog-eat-dog drama has been loved since ancient times.
The corners in the play are all set, just waiting for them to come on one by one.
Yan Minglan's eyes flashed.
