“Grandma, what is it?” Lan Yaxin asked curiously.

“These are the notes me and your Grandpa accumulated over the years. Your grandpa has always wanted to be a Chinese medicine practitioner, so he researched many Chinese medicine formulas that are all inside this notebook. You can have a look.”

Zhao Xiumei handed the tattered notebook over with a doting expression.

Old Mr. Lan spent his whole life researching the properties of Chinese medicine formulas and had recorded most of his efforts in these notes, hoping that the future generations could inherit his mantle. In Zhao Xiumei’s view, Lan Yaxin was suitable.

“Thank you Grandma, I will definitely work hard,” Lan Yaxin took the notebook and said obediently.

With this secret manual, she wouldn’t be worried about that brat.

...

It was Saturday and Lan Anran was about to head out to register her marriage with Mo Jinrong when Old Mrs. Lan and Lan Yaxin came over. One of them had a hostile expression while the other had a hypocritical smile, looking at Lan Tingyun with an innocent expression.

“Mum? Why are you here so early in the morning? If you’d called for us, we would have come over.”

Lan Tingyun seemed particularly surprised. His mother had never been here on a weekend, so why was she here so early today?

“If I hadn’t come, I don’t know what other shameful things would have happened to this family.”

There was meaning behind her words.

Lan Tingyun and Li Yueru looked at Old Mrs. Lan in confusion.

“Grandma, tell us if you have something to say, I have to go out.”

Lan Anran didn’t need to think. Lan Yaxin must have complained again, but she didn’t have a guilty conscience, so she spoke righteously.

“What are you going to do behind our backs so early in the morning?”

Old Mrs. Lan eyed her unkindly. She was dressed beautifully today, definitely out to have an affair… That brat!

“Grandma, you’re speaking as though I can escape from your eagle eyes? Tell us if you have something, if not, I’m leaving,” Lan Anran said unceremoniously.

“Insolent! You don’t respect me at all! You want to leave before I’m even done talking? These countryside children have no manners!”

Zhao Xiumei suddenly slammed the table, startling everyone.

“Mom, calm down… Why are you here today?”

Lan Tingyun handed over a glass of premium Longjing tea.

“Ask your daughter about the foolish things she did! The Lan Family may not be a scholarly family, but we are an influential family in Rong City. We care about reputation. The shameful things your daughter is doing is embarrassing me. If I don’t step in and the Mo Family finds out, how am I going to face them?”

Zhao Xiumei lashed out at Lan Anran furiously, but Lan Anran only felt her ear itch and hadn’t taken it to heart.

“Mom, what shameful things did Anran do?”

Li Yueru couldn’t bear such insults. Her daughter was the most obedient and sensible child. How did she end up being called a lousy person?

“Ask her yourself, she was behaving intimately with the Mo Family butler! It would be humiliating if word of this spreads! She was even seen by others… Such an embarrassment,” Zhao Xiumei patted her sallow face and said with disgust.

She was a prideful woman and if something like this blew up, her usual bragging wouldn’t hold true.

Lan Yueru turned to Lan Anran with a serious expression.

“Anran, tell me honestly, is that true?”

Lan Anran smiled lightly and replied softly, “It must be someone that doesn’t like me that made such accusations. I was with Mo Jinrong yesterday, how could they have seen the butler?”

“What? Are you saying I accused you?”

Zhao Xiumei glared at her. That wasn’t what Yaxin said yesterday and she believed that her favourite granddaughter wouldn’t lie. Lan Anran was surely at fault.

Besides, she wouldn’t just admit to having an affair.

As expected from someone from the countryside, a liar and vixen at such a young age!

“Mom, you must be mistaken. Who did you hear this from? I dare to swear that Anran wouldn’t do such a thing.”

Lan Tingyun chose to trust his daughter after some thought. Even though she lived in the countryside, she was knowledgeable and wouldn’t do such vulgar things.

“Mom, Tingyun is right, you must be mistaken. Anran is a good child, she wouldn’t…”

The moment Li Yueru finished speaking, Zhao Xiumei bolted upright, glaring at them.

“A whole family of ingrates! Would I accuse a junior? You don’t even believe what I say? This is outrageous! Ever since this insolent girl came back, you are all obsessed. She is indeed wicked!”

Zhao Xiumei trembled with anger, the finger she pointed at Lan Anran shaking uncontrollably.

“Grandma, I really don’t know what you’re saying, I didn’t do anything. That person must have been mistaken. Grandma, you would rather believe someone else than me? You must really hate that I’m from the countryside. Since you are determined to accuse me, I have nothing more to say.”

Anran lowered her head, big droplets falling from her eyes, looking pitiful!
