Chapter 295 I'm leaving

The handwriting on the blood-written letter also mentioned Ling Pozi's story.

Suppressed sobs came from inside the room: "This old servant knows he was wrong... He shouldn't have coveted that gold hairpin, and he shouldn't have speculated about the relationship between Madam and Miss Wan."

Granny Ling gripped the doorframe with her withered hands, her knuckles turning white. "If it weren't for that girl Ginkgo helping me all this time, I'm afraid..."

She should have noticed sooner... The day before New Year's Eve, Ginkgo came to bring her food, her clothes disheveled...

Little did I know that would be the last time we saw each other...

“Grandma Ling,” Xiao Ran tapped lightly on the window frame with her fingertips, “I remember you were the one who punished the maid in my courtyard.”

"This old servant was forced into it!" Granny Ling knelt on the ground, her forehead bruised from kowtowing. "Madam... she has never been able to tolerate the eldest young lady..."

"I know."

Granny Ling suddenly looked up, a glimmer of hope flashing in her cloudy eyes: "Then why did the young lady come today..."

"I'll get you out of here."

"Wh...what?" Granny Ling's hand, which was gripping the door frame, tightened suddenly, her withered yellow fingernails scratching deep marks on the wood.

“But there’s one condition—” she tapped lightly on the doorframe.

"Do you want to avenge Ginkgo?"

"Of course I want to..." Before Granny Ling could finish speaking, the long-awaited sunlight finally shone through the dark woodshed.

Xiao Ran opened the door.

Only then did Granny Ling see the young woman who had been talking to her the whole time.

In fact, she had watched Xiao Ran grow up over the past two years, and Xiao Ran's foolish appearance was deeply imprinted in her heart.

In her heart, today she might be the Madam, the Second Young Lady, or even a maid in Xiao Ran's room, but never this foolish eldest young lady.

But of all people, it was Xiao Ran who arrived.

"What? You've changed your mind?" Xiao Ran turned around, blocking the sunlight that was shining on her.

"No, it's just that I haven't seen the sun in a long time, so it's a bit dazzling..."

"Oh." Xiao Ran slowly took out a slip of paper from his pocket and handed it to her.

"Here are some things I need you to do. If you can't read, go find the maid in my room."

"From today onwards, you will work in my room. Don't be too ostentatious. I will find a good excuse for you."

"Okay..." For some reason, Granny Ling was somewhat moved.

"Miss Ran, do you really not hate me?"

"They're just serving their own masters. Besides, things might not be any better in my courtyard."

In her courtyard lived Chuntao and Xiahe, both of whom disliked Granny Ling, so Granny Ling's situation was naturally not good.

After exchanging a few hurried words, he took Granny Ling back to the courtyard.

When Chun Tao and Xia He saw this, both of them were surprised. Chun Tao wanted to say something, but Xia He stopped her.

……

evening.

Perhaps because only Xiao Ran remained in the household, the general's mansion lacked the festive atmosphere of the New Year. After a quick New Year's Eve dinner with her father, Xiao Ran chatted about the border trip and then returned to her own courtyard.

On the way, Afu came to find Xiao Ran.

After catching up with Xiao Ran, Afu smiled and asked, "Is the young lady satisfied?"

Xiao Ran glanced at Afu beside her with a strange look. The moonlight shone into his eyes, making him look very handsome.

“Of course I’m satisfied,” she said, as if she had thought of something. “It’s been a pleasure working with you.”

"Ah."

There was silence on the road for a moment.

Afu sighed and spoke first: "I'm leaving."

Xiao Ran was somewhat surprised. She knew that Afu was going to leave, but not now.

"Did something happen to you?"

“Yes, the war is intense…” Afu suddenly looked up and looked at her seriously: “The young lady will soon be going to the border with the general. We may meet again in the future.”
