Who cares about belated family affection? Family members beg for forgiveness

Chunzhu quickly brought all the noodles and oil over.

Lan Kexin taught her how to deal with locusts.

How to turn locusts into a delicacy.

The old woman is in poor health.

While helping her, he would occasionally ask her about some interesting things in the capital.

At the beginning, I just asked questions here and there.

They are all things that are very popular in Beijing.

Lan Kexin was curious that a woman from such a remote village could actually hear interesting things in the capital.

I heard the old woman explain that she often took Ah Hu to the teahouse in Jingyang City.

To hear these interesting things.

The excuse is to take Ah Hu out to see the world.

After listening to his explanation, Lan Kexin didn't have much doubt.

But the old woman's next topic was about the royal family affairs in the capital.

Especially the matter of the eldest princess.

Lan Kexin sighed deeply.

"Speaking of which, the eldest princess is also a pitiful woman. She just got married and her husband died, but she has been guarding him until now."

Lan Kexin quickly glanced at the kitchen door.

I didn’t see the Sixth Prince.

She reminded him, "Mother-in-law, this is a royal matter, we'd better not tell anyone about it."

The old woman lowered her eyes.

"Miss Lan, please don't be offended. It's just that I, an old woman, admire the eldest princess very much, so I am particularly concerned about her affairs."

Lan Kexin raised her eyebrows:

"Why do you admire the eldest princess? Is it just because she's not married?"

The old woman smiled and explained:

"I only started paying attention to the eldest princess after she came of age."

Lan Kexin was even more curious about this.

I know there must be a story to hear.

"Can you tell us about this?"

My wife sighed:

"Alas, that was seven years ago. That year, the eldest princess was just 15, and it was also the year she had her coming-of-age ceremony.

I, an old woman, had the good fortune to visit the capital, but unexpectedly, I met some gangsters on the street who stole all the money I had.

At that time, a little girl dressed very luxuriously handed a small bag of silver to the old woman.

This saved the old woman's life. Later, she found out that the little girl was the eldest princess.

From then on, the old woman became particularly concerned about the eldest princess's affairs until she got married.

I thought she would find a good home..."

The old woman's eyes turned red when she said this:

"The eldest princess is also a miserable person."

Lan Kexin pursed her lips and smiled:

"Old woman, you only see the surface. You haven't seen the eldest princess in the past few years, so how do you know if she is having a hard time?

What I heard was just what I heard. After all, she is a member of the royal family and has never lacked food or drink since she was a child."

The old woman stopped what she was doing and looked out the door.

"Sometimes it's not necessarily the case. As long as you have enough food and drink, you're happy. The eldest princess lost her mother when she was young.

Living in a place like the Imperial Palace. How could she ever live well? Besides, the Queen Mother treated her like that..."

The old woman stopped talking here, feeling a little regretful.

Find a way out for yourself.

"Hey, look at what I, an old woman, am saying. I just feel sorry for the eldest princess, so I understand a little more."

Lan Kexin's eyes flashed and she looked at her mother-in-law suspiciously.

"Old woman, what else do you know about the eldest princess? Why don't you tell me more about it?"

The old woman said: "Miss Lan, are you planning to marry me? You came from the capital, how could you not know?"

Well, there are some things she really doesn't have.

"How much do you know, old woman?"

The old woman was uneasy: "You are not familiar with the eldest princess, but I heard that you are quite familiar with the Sixth Prince."

Lan Kexin's hand paused.

Then he continued with his work.

She is familiar with the Sixth Prince.

Even few people in the capital know about it.

Take the Marquis Lan’s Mansion for example.

The old woman far away in the mountains actually knew it.

Although Lan Kexin had doubts in her heart, she remained calm and showed an innocent smile.

"No, it's just that the Sixth Prince was poisoned and his life was in danger, so I went forward to help him diagnose it."

The old woman paused.

"The Sixth Prince's life is hanging by a thread. Why doesn't the Emperor help him find a world-renowned doctor? That's his child after all!"

Lan Kexin sighed.

"Isn't it impossible to find it? The emperor has tried his best."

The old woman was holding a locust in her hand.

I don't know if she was angry or too nervous.

I unconsciously crushed the locust in my hands.

"It's just a cold poison, but those people in the palace can't help. Is it because they can't help or they don't want to help?"

I heard the old woman speak in a low voice.

Lan Kexin, however, took every word seriously.

Lan Kexin was shocked:

"Old woman, how do you know that the Sixth Prince has a cold poison?"

The old woman realized her own gaffe and immediately began to cover up her lie.

"Isn't this out of concern for the eldest princess? So it's no surprise that the eldest princess's brother knows a thing or two.

Besides, the Sixth Prince's cold poison is not a big secret."

Lan Kexin chuckled.

Pretend to believe what she says.

Next, the old woman chatted about this and that.

Try to focus on the topic of the eldest princess and the sixth prince as much as possible.

The old woman was particularly interested in their affairs.

The Sixth Prince, who was standing outside the door, also listened carefully to what happened inside.

He searched hard in his mind, wondering where he had seen this old woman before.

Seven years ago, she entered the capital.

I was only about 13 years old at that time.

What did he do that year?

The Sixth Prince's thoughts were pulled back.

After searching his mind, he was sure that he had not seen this person seven years ago.

Because he was fighting against the cold poison at that time.

I stayed either in the prince's palace or in the princess's palace all day, and I never heard the princess mention this matter.

Most of the remaining time is spent in the mountains with the master.

Did you meet him from your master?

The Sixth Prince was even more certain of this. Apart from him and his master, there was no third person on that mountain.

The puzzled Sixth Prince shook his head and nodded.

Lan Mufeng frowned.

What's going on with this secret guard? What's he thinking here?

He walked to the Sixth Prince and patted his shoulder.

"You are alone, and there is a secret guard."

The Sixth Prince looked at the hand on his shoulder with disdain.

"Book……"

He almost let the cat out of the bag, but he corrected himself immediately.

"Can't I protect Miss Lan? Are you here just for show?"

Lan Mufeng was attacked back for no reason.

He wasn't angry.

"Are you really a secret guard? Apart from standing on her left and right, you don't help with anything."

The Sixth Prince reminded him: "This is the job of a secret guard, don't you understand?"

Lan Mufeng said disdainfully: "The most important thing for a secret guard is not to talk too much. I haven't seen you talk less either. You are not a qualified secret guard."
