"Red Qiang, the tea you made tastes better than before." An Lan ate a few pastries, then picked up the tea on the side and drank it.

"Thank you, Madame, for the compliment." Red Rose's face flushed slightly.

"This is not a compliment to you and me, this is not telling the truth." An Lan quipped.

"Madam......" Hearing An Lan's words, Hongqiang's face turned even redder.

Seeing An Lan's expression as before, Hongqiang's hanging heart also fell back to the bottom of her heart, she still thought that Madame had something to do today.

"Madame is going back to rest?" Hongqiang smiled slightly and added half of the tea that An Lan had drunk.

An Lan shook his head and looked calm: "I didn't do anything today, and I'm not very tired, let's just sit here for a while." ”

Seeing Hongqiang's expression gradually returning to normal, An Lan was also relieved in his heart, it seems that Hongqiang is really concerned about this matter today, according to Hongqiang's character, no matter how important this matter is, it will not be leaked on the face.

After all, he was taught by Chu Xingze, and his ability to hide his emotions was also first-class.

If Red Rose didn't care so much about today's incident, she might not be able to leak the panicked expression that flashed just now.

Thinking so, An Lan's eyes deepened slightly.

"Are you tired, Red Qiang?" An Lan asked with concern.

"Madam, how can any slave or maid say that she is tired." Hongqiang carefully patted the cookie crumbs that fell from An Lan's body.

"You're not a slave, I treat you as my own sister." An Lan said with a serious face.

"How can Madame take slaves and maids as her own sisters, don't say this to the outside in the future, otherwise the group of noble ladies outside will laugh at you." Although Hongqiang's heart was full of emotion, she still admonished.

"How can it be, then you have to say that, then the group of noble ladies outside, there are more people who laugh at them, and many sisters of the family say that they are sisters with their own slaves and maids." An Lan said half-truthfully.

In fact, where did An Lan come into contact with so many young ladies of the family, but they just watched it before crossing over.

"Madam, the slave maid has never heard of it, maybe it is often there, but Madame's words should not be as good as what the outside says, it will break the slave." Hongqiang has long been accustomed to her wife's out-of-the-box temperament, and she has repeatedly admonished.

An Lan's face became serious: "Hongqiang, I really regard you as my sister, and you also know that the relationship between me and the group of people in Shangshu Mansion is not so good, except for the prince in this palace, you and I are the closest." I really treat you like a sister, if you have something, you can't hide it from me. ”

"Madam, the slave maid knows, to put it mildly, the slave maid also regards you as her own sister in her heart." Hongqiang heard An Lan being so serious, but she didn't realize that An Lan wanted him to tell me about today, but thought that you were angry, so she comforted.

An Lan looked at Red Qiang's expression and knew that Red Qiang didn't understand what he meant.

"Is there anything going on today, for example, something that can affect your mood?" ”

"Madam, I am a slave maid, where can there be anything that affects my mood. But Madam, you have to take care of your own body, as the saying goes, a smile is less than ten years. Hongqiang gently squeezed An Lan's shoulder and said.

Seeing that Hongqiang was reluctant to say what she and Xiaoliu were, An Lan couldn't bear it anymore.

"Hongqiang, you tell me the truth, what is the relationship between you and Xiao Liu next to the prince? An Lan sighed and said faintly.

Hearing An Lan's words, Hong Qiang's face changed suddenly, knowing that An Lan must have heard his conversation today.

Immediately afterwards, I heard An Lan say: "It's not the first time I've noticed that I wanted to ask you last time at the banquet, but I didn't succeed." ”

This sentence completely blocked Hongqiang's words that she wanted to say that she and Xiaoliu were not familiar with.

"Madam, you heard everything today...... Hongqiang's face slowly turned pale, and the hand on An Lan's shoulder was also unconsciously tightened, and the strength continued to strengthen, although An Lan's shoulder was very painful, but I also knew how intense Hongqiang's emotions were.

"Indeed, I heard you." An Lan stretched out his hand and patted Hongqiang's hand.

Although An Lan didn't blame Red Qiang for hurting herself, Red Rose knelt down all of a sudden.

"Madame, I'm sorry that the slave has hurt you."

"It's okay, it's okay, you get up." An Lan waved his hand absently, but although Hongqiang got up, her face was still pale.

"What is the relationship between you and the little six beside the prince?" An Lan continued to ask.

"Madam, I really don't have any intention of harming you and the prince, and neither does Xiaoliu." Hongqiang said hurriedly, as if she was afraid that An Lan would be suspicious.

"I said that I treat you as a sister is really treating you as a sister, but today you have something to hide from me here, do you say it is good or bad?" An Lan also showed a tough momentum at this time.

An Lan knew in his heart that the crux of everything was on Hongqiang, but if he wanted to solve the matter between the two people, he had to get to the bottom of it.

"Madam, I'm ......" Hongqiang was still a little hesitant, not knowing where to start with this matter.

"If you don't say it today, I'll go ask Xiaoliu." An Lan said that he was about to get up and walk out.

"Don't." Hongqiang was a little flustered, and directly got up and grabbed An Lan's hand, but seemed to immediately realize that this behavior was wrong and put her hand down.

"Okay, then I'm not going to ask you to tell me why?" An Lan stared at Red Qiang with sharp eyes.

The courtyard was quiet, and Red Rose seemed to be struggling.

"Good ......" Hongqiang slowly spit out these two words, and then sat down on the ground a little decadently.

When An Lan saw Hongqiang's appearance, he felt a little distressed in his heart, and reached out to help the woman up.

"Xiaoliu is actually my own brother." When Hongqiang said this, it seemed that something in her heart suddenly relaxed, and the next words didn't seem to be so difficult to say.

Anlan actually expected it.

"Then why do you say that in the garden?" An Lan spoke softly, not wanting to alarm Hongqiang, who was falling into her memories.

Speaking of this, the red rose's expression struggled a little.

"Some things still have to start when I was eight years old." As she spoke, Red Rose stared at a certain place, her thoughts drifting away.

"What happened when I was eight years old that I could make my brothers and sisters leave their hearts." An Lan frowned suspiciously.
