Chapter 23: Being on guard against others is essential
As they were talking, Mother Li handed over a bowl of porridge. Mu Lanfeng took it, stirred it gently a few times, and fed it to Old Madam Mu.
After what happened last night, Madam Mu seemed to have a poor appetite. She only ate a few bites and said she was full.
"I've heard about you and your medical skills..." Old Madam Mu was full of doubts. She asked halfway but then stopped herself.
Mu Lanfeng knew that some things could not be hidden.
But how can she explain this medical skill so that people will believe it?
"You all go out, let Miss Lan talk to me!" Old Madam Mu saw Mu Lanfeng's concerns, so she dismissed the servants in the room.
Everyone responded and left the warm room.
"Grandma, I know your doubts, but the person who taught me medicine wants me to keep it a secret..." Mu Lanfeng deliberately looked embarrassed.
Madam Mu's lips moved slightly, unable to hide the embarrassment on her face. Mu Lanfeng didn't want to say it, and she couldn't force him.
As long as she doesn't hurt anyone, let her say whatever she wants!
"Grandma, don't worry. Lanfeng studies medicine just to save people. I hope you can keep it a secret for me!" Mu Lanfeng held the old lady's hand and pleaded.
Madam Mu looked at her, her eyes full of gentleness and concern, and her kind eyes were filled with an indescribable smile, "Okay, grandma will keep it a secret for you!"
Mu Lanfeng understood better than anyone that in the eyes of Old Madam Mu, she valued her son Mu Xun very much and she would never allow anyone to infringe upon his interests.
"Grandma, I know that it's wrong to have the intention to harm others, but we must also be on guard against others!" Mu Lanfeng wanted to remind her grandmother, but was afraid of using inappropriate words, so she carefully selected the appropriate words in her mind and then spoke.
She hoped her grandmother would understand what she meant.
Madam Mu hesitated for a moment, then smiled faintly, her eyes revealing fatigue, her smile carrying a hint of bitterness, and she was so helpless. She sighed and said slowly: "Grandma is old, there are some things that I can't do anything about!"
Mu Lanfeng lowered her eyes and her gaze fell on the wrinkled hands of the old lady. The person in front of her was just an elderly person in her twilight years. Having lived in this Mu Mansion for her whole life, how could she not know that there were problems with the people around her.
No matter how much you guard against it, it is difficult to prevent someone from attacking you from behind.
Never mind. I'll just be more careful next time.
"Grandma, you have a good rest. I still have a few pills to make. I'll come to see you later!"
"Go! I'm a little sleepy too!" After saying this, Madam Mu narrowed her eyes and leaned slightly on the pillow.
Mu Lanfeng left the house, gave some instructions to Mother Li, and then left Wutong Courtyard.
When I returned to Ziyunxuan, Hongyin had already returned. The news she brought back was not bad, and Ye Sanniang also arrived in Liuyue City safely.
Ye Sanniang saw the clues to Mu Lanfeng's question at a glance...
The key problem lies in the almonds in the plate of almond crisps!
Mu Lanfeng slapped his thigh, and suddenly realized, "Why didn't I think of this? What a great trick!"
Her eyes revealed a sharp look like a knife, which made people feel scared.
"Miss, the almond cakes that the old lady eats are all bought at Fu Ji on West Street. The person who bought the cakes is Fei Yan, the old lady's personal maid!" Hong Yin said in a slightly lowered voice.
As soon as Hong Yin finished speaking, she saw Feiyan kneeling down in front of Mu Lanfeng and kowtowed several times.
Mu Lanfeng was startled by Feiyan's sudden action. She was not used to the ancient people kneeling and kowtowing at every turn.
Her face was expressionless, and her words could not help but rise a few notches, with a hint of annoyance, "Get up and talk!"
He spoke each word with pauses, and finally finished the sentence with a long drawl.
Feiyan certainly understood Mu Lanfeng's temper. She stood up tremblingly, keeping her head down. Her nervousness made her lower her voice and tremble a little. She hesitated for a long time before saying, "Miss, Feiyan will never... harm the old lady!"
Her eyes were determined, she was trying her best to protect the people she wanted to protect.
Feiyan's explanation made Mu Lanfeng suspicious. She didn't suspect anyone, but why did the person in front of her react so strongly?
Mu Lanfeng glanced at her sideways. Feiyan's face turned red. She twirled the hem of her skirt with her hands, trying her best to hide her inner uneasiness.
"Sister Feiyan, the girl didn't doubt Sister Feiyan's intention. She just wanted to know what happened!" Hongyin hurriedly stepped forward and took Feiyan's hand, comforting her with a smile.
Feiyan raised her eyes to look at Mu Lanfeng and said cautiously: "Miss, I was rude earlier!"
Mu Lanfeng nodded and said calmly: "The most important thing about following me is loyalty. I won't doubt anyone for no reason!"
Although her voice was not loud, her tone was firm, revealing an unquestionable majesty!
"I understand!" Feiyan buried her head and said timidly.
"I'm tired, you all can go out!" Mu Lanfeng said.
After hearing Mu Lanfeng's words, everyone cautiously left the room.
