The eighth day of the ninth month.

Early in the morning, Yan Ran got up early.

Because the second day was Chongyang, the school hall was closed for three days, and it was just in time for her birthday, and she was very excited.

Zhen Yu learned early in the morning that today was Yan Ran's birthday, so he shouted to invite her to dinner.

Yan Ran took the opportunity to propose that Zhen Yu be the east, and feasted Mu Changfeng and Wen Rong'an, who took medicine for her that day.

Zhen Yu didn't know that Yan Ran was selfish, and felt that her proposal was very reasonable, after all, Mu Changfeng was also her life-saving benefactor, and Wen Rongan also helped.

Yan Ran was a little excited, I don't know what gift Wen Rongan prepared for her?

Yan Ran was in a daze when she overheard Grandma Sun's visit.

Mama Sun came in and said, "Big girl, the old lady invites you to go to the front yard." ”

Yan Ran was a little strange, Mrs. Yan had always only been active in Hongfu Courtyard, why did she suddenly set foot in the front yard?

Mama Sun saw Yan Ran's question, and explained in a low voice: "Big girl, the old lady asked the slave maid to tell you, there is a man called Kang Da in front of her, who is a former neighbor. That man didn't know what he said to the master, but he made the master angry and asked you to go over and ask you to ask! ”

Yan Ran was slightly stunned, and then replied: "Thank you grandmother for mentioning it." ”

Although Mrs. Yan is patriarchal, she used to treat Zhang's daughter-in-law harshly, and she didn't treat Yan Ran very much. But she doesn't like Wen who often talks about getting married and has a high-minded posture.

At the beginning, as a mother-in-law, she had to suffer from Wen's anger for her son's future. It wasn't until Master Yan's official became bigger and bigger, and Wen's brother died, and the Wen family was in decline, that the situation changed.

Now, Mrs. Yan can't see Wen's pride, so she occasionally favors Yan Ran.

Yan Ran followed Grandma Sun to the front yard hall, and when she entered the door, a man pounced on her and cried loudly: "My son! ”

Yan Ran hurriedly dodged, and the man threw himself into the air and almost hit the door.

Yan Ran reprimanded angrily: "Who is so rude? ”

The man turned around, still crying: "Ran'er, I'm your father, you are my daughter and Yueniang's daughter!" ”

Yueniang is the name of Zhang's daughter, Yan Ran suddenly felt her heart sink down, and her brain went blank for a moment.

She subconsciously looked at Master Yan, only to see that his cheeks were tense and his eyes burst with rage.

Yan Ran clenched her fists and slashed at her palms with her nails, forcing herself to calm down.

This didn't happen in a previous life, so why did this happen?

Master Yan wanted to set up Zhang's spiritual position in the ancestral hall on the occasion of the Double Ninth Festival tomorrow, and then this man who slandered Zhang's reputation appeared the day before, it was too much of a coincidence, right?

Moreover, Mrs. Yan said that this person was called Kang Da, and he was their former neighbor in the countryside, and the people in the countryside were most afraid of seeing officials, but why did he dare to climb to the court officials?

Yan Ran looked at Wen suddenly, and Wen was also looking over, and there was a trace of arrogance belonging to the victor hidden under his calm gaze, as well as a trace of ...... Compassion?

Yan Ran retracted her gaze, calmed down, and carefully looked at the person in front of her, only to see that he was wearing a cloth robe, and his eyes were full of greed when he looked at her, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

She asked in a cold voice, "You said I was your daughter, but is there any evidence?" ”

Kang Dalian nodded repeatedly: "Yes, your mother and I have long been in love, and your mother once gave me a silk handkerchief as a token of love, and I have handed it over to Lord Yan." Ran'er, you are my daughter, this is what your mother said to me personally, it must be true! ”

Yan Ran ignored him and turned to Master Yan: "Dad, my daughter wants to take a look at Sipa." ”

Old Man Yan said angrily: "What do you see? ”

Yan Ran asked rhetorically: "What did Dad tell me to do?" ”

Master Yan was asked for a while, he was originally very angry and wanted to call Yan Ran to confront him.

But only then did he remember that even if the Zhang family really had a personal relationship with others, how could Yan Ran, who had not yet been born, know.

Seeing that Master Yan was silent, Yan Ran struck while the iron was hot: "Dad, my daughter has an appointment with Miss Zhen from the Qingguo Mansion today, so let's hurry up and sort out the current matter clearly, don't let Miss Zhen wait for a long time." ”

Hearing Yan Ran mention the Qingguo Mansion, Master Yan's mind that was dizzy by anger gradually became clearer.

No matter what, Yan Ran is the life-saving benefactor of Qingguo Gong's little granddaughter, which will not change.

Yan Ran is best still the daughter of his Yan family, even if not, he has raised her for so many years, so why not recognize a righteous daughter? It is always more beneficial to befriend her than to be bad.

Besides, he didn't want to spread the word that the Zhang family had personal affairs with others, which was not honorable for him.

After a little contemplation, Master Yan showed the silk handkerchief to Yan Ran and allowed her to make a defense.

Yan Ran took the silk handkerchief, carefully examined it, and saw that one side of the handkerchief was embroidered with a mandarin duck shaped like a duck, and the other side was embroidered with a moon character and Kang character, the meaning of the representation was very obvious, but the embroiderer was lame, like a beginner.

Yan Ran settled down a little in his heart, looked at Kang Da, and sneered: "Just because you don't know where the silk handkerchief came from, you dare to slander the reputation of the second-rank members of the dynasty and their families, I'm afraid you're tired of it?" ”

Kang Da was frightened by Yan Ran's suddenly cold eyes, and hurriedly said: "I still have a letter to prove it!" ”
