Seeing her daughter's serious expression, Madam He had no choice but to give up. However, she still felt it was a bit of a pity, so she asked:

“Okay…” Madam He bit her lip, “What exactly is Wan’er thinking?”

He Wan narrowed her eyes and said, "Since Mother knows that Shen Zhe is the Grand Tutor of the court, then she should know that the Emperor would not allow the Shen family to unite with Prince Yan."

Madam He was taken aback. "Wan'er means..."

"Emperor Jingyang didn't like his brother." He Wan slowly took a sip of tea. "If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's intervention, this relationship would probably have broken down long ago, and there wouldn't even be Prince Yan."

Madam He seemed lost in thought, but then He Wan said, "Mother, Nangong Ming is not a good man. I will find a better one."

"Yes, yes... Wan'er is right. I will go and tell your father in a few days to keep an eye on things."

“No need,” He Wan said. “It’s too early now, there’s no need to rush.”

After looking at He Wan for a while, Madam He agreed. After all, Wan'er was only fourteen years old and had not yet reached the age of coming of age. For now, she only needed to keep an eye on Ji Lang. As for Nangong Ming... after hearing Wan'er's words, she dared not touch this hot potato.

"By the way, Mother," He Wan asked, "did you bring up the adoption matter with the General first?"

"Naturally, I was the one who brought it up first..."

Thinking about this, Madam He felt strange. She had finally managed to get the general to take pity on her and agree, so how did it become that Xiao Ran said it was she who had brought it up with the general? She clearly remembered that when she had argued with the general, he had used Xiao Ran's disagreement as an excuse.

He Wan was also somewhat puzzled. Although becoming the adopted daughter of the General's Mansion was part of her plan, it seemed to have gone by far too smoothly.

You must know that in her past life, there were all sorts of obstacles from her sister Xiao... She really couldn't understand this.

Although Xiao Ran was also reborn, making her the adopted daughter of the General's Mansion would be more harmful than beneficial to her. Xiao Ran should have stopped it, instead of letting her become the adopted daughter of the General's Mansion so naturally.

Since her rebirth, she has come to understand her older sister, Xiao, less and less.

"Wan'er, don't worry. I'm sure that little girl wouldn't dare to do anything. You just need to be a good second young lady of the General's Mansion. As for the rest, Mother will take care of it for you."

He Wan saw a ruthless glint in He Shi's eyes and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.

"Yes, mother."

Once He Wan's figure had completely disappeared from sight, Madam He slowly sat down, let out a long sigh, and called out towards the door, "Si Ji."

As soon as she finished speaking, a maidservant strode in from the doorway, bowed respectfully, and said, "Madam."

"Hmm." Madam He didn't even lift her eyelids, but simply closed her eyes gently, her slender fingers slowly rubbing her temples. "Tomorrow, find an excuse to leave the manor and tell Jilang that everything is going smoothly for me."

"Yes, Madam." Siji replied, then stepped forward to prepare the hangover tea that He Wan had just brought.

Just then, Madam He suddenly reached out and pressed down on her hand, slowly opened her eyes, and stared straight at Siji. "I know you are Jilang's person, but you had better understand what will happen if you reveal this to Jilang."

Without the slightest hesitation, Siji blurted out, "Since I am now serving by your side, Madam, I will follow you to the death. I will do my best to fulfill whatever you have entrusted to me."

"She's quite clever." Upon hearing this, Madam He nodded slightly, closed her eyes again, rubbed her temples, and said nothing more.
