Yan Jiang's heart trembled. Before he could hear what was going on, he firmly stopped him and said, "No. Nothing can hurt you."

Mrs. Ran and Yan Jiang have been with Yan Jiang for decades, and are like sisters. Yan Jiang knows all her secrets, including Shaotang's life experience. For this person who cares about her everywhere, she knows that she is worried about herself, so she quickly turns her head and looks over and comforts her.

"Don't worry, Yan Jiang, on New Year's Eve, my mother-in-law will be in trouble as she used to do, and then she will get angry and pretend to be beaten. The court is filial, and the mother is sick, and it is common for her children to serve the disease, and even the queen mother will not make any mistakes. In this way, all of us, mother and son, will avoid it."

When Yan Jiang heard the word "pretend" and thought that the general was very caring about his wife and would not let anyone beat him, so he did not stop him.

However, he repeatedly reminded him to find a mature and capable person to execute the execution.

Here we were discussing the details of the New Year's Eve, and the servants guarding outside the mansion had already surrounded Ran Shaotang and entered the mansion.

I saw that the eldest son who had already made the messy Ran Mansion look clean and dressed neatly. He was not as dirty as other young men who escaped from the academy and were in a mess. He was amazed.

However, the eldest son has always been withdrawn and no one dares to come forward and ask more questions.

The housekeeper Ran Fu and the guard Yu did good deeds, and after more than a dozen guards gave their respects, they immediately sent Ran Shaotang into the inner courtyard.

Ran Shaotang waved his hand and signaled them to go back. The guards knew that they had never been happy, so they stopped and watched the eldest son come in.

Someone whispered: "Didn't the eldest son skip school again?"

Someone responded: "It seems that he hasn't been studying in the school, otherwise why would the Fanlu Academy be burned out and several high-ranking young men died. Our eldest son didn't even have any dust on his face?"

"Even if you quit school, you can escape disasters. It seems that our eldest son is indeed a lucky star."

The older one came out to stop him: "It's almost gone. Don't gossip like a sissy here. Go and report good news to the chief guard and the housekeeper. The eldest son is back by himself."

As soon as Ran Shaotang stepped into the inner courtyard, a maid reported to Mrs. Ran that the eldest son had returned safely.

Mrs. Ran was delighted, but her expression did not change. However, Yan Jiang was so happy that she almost shed tears and went out in three or two steps.

"Oh, my eldest son, where are you going? Your mother is worried about you so much. Let me see if I have any injuries?"

Ran Shaotang met Yan Jiang's eyes looking up and down, and grinned at her, revealing the dimples on her right cheek, as bright as the sun: "Mrs. Fu, I'm fine. At noon today, I suddenly remembered that the recipe for Mother's new recipe lacked a herb, so I went to the mountain to pick it. Look, isn't that?"

She took out a cloth bag from her arms and stuffed it into Yan Jiang's hand. She called "Mother" to "Ah Mother" and stood silently on one side, waiting to be scolded.

Yan Jiang was afraid that Mrs. Ran would have an attack, so he quickly handed over her herbs for her to see: "Madam, look, it turns out that she has been looking for the wolf poisonous halberd for several months. The eldest son has gained the ability."

Mrs. Ran glanced at the things in the bag, and cursed her with a dark face, "The wolf poisonous halberd grows on the cliffs, which is difficult for ordinary people to pick. Have you ever thought about the consequences if you are seen?"

When Ran Shaotang was very young, Mrs. Ran repeatedly taught her not to be too close to others, not to be competitive, and to be able to keep clever and behave calmly.

Ran Shaotang understood the principle of shooting a bird with a gun. His mother’s teachings were for her own good. In summary, it is to minimize the sense of existence and never attract attention.

Therefore, in order to save her life, she has never been happy with people, and she rarely communicates with others. If she can express it clearly in one word, she will never use two words, except for Mother Fu and her biological mother.

In the eyes of the slaves of the Ran family, she was a strange boy with an arrogant personality. I guess, like the friends in the academy, everyone thought she was a useless quail. The only unexpected thing was that she occasionally skipped class and went out to play privately.

She has always pretended very well.

There will be no mistakes today.

"My mother, don't worry, since it's a cliff, no one will go up there. No one will see me collecting herbs." The one I saw was dead.

Mrs. Ran didn't want to blame her too much.

This child was very sensible when born, and sometimes more thoughtful than her mother. In fact, such a child was given to her by God, and she was not disappointed.

Because she felt wronged, Shaotang rarely criticized her on a daily basis. Now she was taught this lesson in order to make her remember her identity and not be complacent and accidentally trapped the Ran family in the midst of water and fire.

Yan Jiang saw that the mother and daughter were in a stalemate, feeling sorry for the older ones, and even more distressed the younger ones. He quickly smiled and smoothed out the situation as usual: "It's good for the eldest son to collect herbs, so he escaped a fire. I heard that several children died in the academy. I don't know what kind of evil they committed, but they died at such a young age. The adults at home are still worried."

After hearing this, Mrs. Ran was also a little scared. She reached out and pulled Shaotang beside her into her arms, gently stroked her head.

"You are a quirky child. If you didn't suppress you like this, you would have gone through a few days. If you heard that the guards came to the newspaper and didn't find you, you would know that you were rushing to school and going crazy elsewhere. Next time, you shouldn't be so willful. The lessons taught by the Master are only in your heart, which is your ability. Haven't you kept yelling to learn to be rich?"

Shaotang enjoyed this warm moment of mother and daughter embracing each other. Her arms tightly hugged Mrs. Ran's slender waist. The fragrance of her mother's body was filled with the breath. She took a deep breath of greed and said "Oh" sound.

"My son has finished memorizing the homework left by Master. In the afternoon, the Master wants to organize everyone to discuss essays and scriptures. Didn't my mother not let her son show her feelings? But when she heard the debate between classmates, she was afraid that she could not help but participate in the lead, so she simply went to the mountain without seeing her eyes and then."

Yan Jiang saw Shaotang pushing the fault to her mother in a few words, and couldn't help but curl up and laugh, and admired her clever sophistry in her heart.

Mrs. Ran poked her finger on her smooth forehead and said angrily: "I think you don't like studying, so you find an excuse. But when this fire burns like this, you have no choice but to go to the academy. I feel sorry for those burned children."

Although Shaotang had no interaction with those children, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard someone died and asked, "Have you found out the cause of the fire?"

Mrs. Ran sighed: "How can there be a result so quickly? However, the dead are all the sons of the powerful and powerful families, and the court must pay attention to it."
