As soon as Shantu finished speaking, without waiting for Lanniang to react, he winked at Shanying, and the two of them carried Lanniang on the left and right and put her into the carriage.

As soon as she got on the carriage, Lan Niang sat in the empty seat on the right hand side of Old Lady Jiang, but she kept rubbing her hands back and forth, still looking reserved.

Old Lady Jiang smiled and patted the back of Lan Niang's hand. "Lan Niang, relax a little, relax a little. You're not my nanny anymore. Why are you being so reserved? You're going to be a grandmother after all. Be more generous."

"Oh, yes."

This cleared up Jiang Fugui's confusion. Combined with what Shantu and Old Lady Jiang had said before and after, Lan Niang, also known as Nanny Lan, was originally supposed to be the nanny serving in Old Lady Jiang's courtyard. In terms of seniority, she was definitely higher than Nannies Qingyan and Qingyun.

There are not many slaves in Dafeng who can have their indentures returned to them, set them free, and be treated with courtesy by their masters. I think she must have some outstanding qualities.

You know, servants who serve their masters closely are generally not allowed to leave the house easily to prevent them from betraying their masters.

Generally speaking, domestic slaves would serve in the mansion for their entire lives, especially old slaves who had served for decades, until they died of old age.

Suddenly, Jiang Fugui felt some respect for this Nanny Lan.

The carriage went along the street and first went to a funeral shop. Jiang Fugui was full of questions, but Old Madam Jiang refused to tell her, and neither did Nanny Lan. They just said that she would know when she got there.

It really was…it made her even more curious.

Not long after, Qingyan and Qingyun came back with the things that Old Lady Jiang needed, while Shantu and Shanying went to the shop across the street to buy cakes and fruits.

After being ready, the carriage continued on its journey, heading out of the city.

Old Lady Jiang and Lan Niang chatted all the way, from their past youth to their current life with many children and grandchildren. Jiang Fugui was tactful and tried to pretend he didn't exist when he couldn't get a word in.

I don’t know how long it took, but just when Jiang Fugui was about to fall asleep, the swaying carriage finally stopped.

Outside the carriage, Nanny Qingyan's voice sounded as clear and gentle as ever: "Old Lady, we're here."

Then, the curtain of the car was lifted from the outside, and what came into Jiang Fugui's sight was a lush green mountain.

"This is?"

"It's too sunny outside, so Grandma won't go. She'll wait for Nannan in the carriage." Old Lady Jiang still didn't tell Jiang Fugui the whole story, as if ready to let her figure it out on her own. "Don't be afraid, Nanny Lan will accompany you up there, and you'll be able to see the person you want to see."

Jiang Fugui was full of questions at the moment, but he couldn't get the answers. His brows were almost knotted with worry, and he didn't pay attention to what Old Lady Jiang said.

So, before she could say anything, she heard Old Lady Jiang say, "Mother Lan, thank you for your hard work."

Old Lady Jiang said this to Lan Niang. She felt quite sorry for asking her to come here specially for today's matter.

"Old Madam, you're welcome. We'll go upstairs now. The sun will get even hotter later, and I'm afraid the Second Miss won't be able to bear it."

Lan Niang pointed in the direction of the mountain and said to Old Lady Jiang, then she gestured to Jiang Fugui, "Second Miss, please come this way."

Jiang Fugui was also a man of good manners, so he gestured in invitation: "Madame Lan, please."

An old man and a young boy got off the carriage. Lan Niang walked in front and Jiang Fugui walked behind. Behind them were Shan Tu and Shan Ying, each holding the things they had bought before leaving the city.
