Chapter 281 - Traces of the trail
"Two young masters were born that year?" It was his own father and uncle, but if I remember correctly, the uncle was three years younger than her Father.
"Of course it was the two young masters ...... Well, the Mistress and Lady Lan both gave birth to young masters ......" Granny Huang smiled, "This matter was a sensation at the time, it's just a pity......"
"Pity about what?" An Qingran's heart leapt wildly, and she felt as if she had touched the edge of some conspiracy.
"Unfortunately the baby I delivered at the time didn't survive, Maybe it's not a good sign that the baby will laugh as soon it's born, I was sad for a few days at the time, but ......"
At this point Granny Huang paused, "Crown Princess, why are you asking this? Just to write the family history?"
"Yes, Granny, you just tell me what happened then." An Qing Ran had a gentle smile on her face.
Although that Huang granny was a bit old and confused, after saying this she also felt that something was wrong. For if one is writing a family history, why not ask the matriarch of the time, or the maids of the time, instead of asking her, an old woman who had only been in the General's residence once?
"Granny, don't be burdened, I hope you can tell me what happened back then ......"
" The Crown Princess's command the old body obeyed. I will continue. At that time I delivered Lady Lan's young master, and I was sad for some time to hear that that child was not saved. However, I soon met the granny who had delivered the Mistress of the family, and she was sent away from the capital. If I hadn't met her halfway when I was visiting relatives in my hometown, she would have sighed for a while before telling me that she had delivered the baby at that time, and that the Mistress's child had died. Now she has been sent away from the capital again, I am afraid it is because of this matter ...... Now I do not know which young master did not keep ...... I am old, and that is all I remember of these things."
When she finished, countless thoughts flashed through An Qinran's mind before she finally suddenly asked, "Granny, were there any birthmarks on the little young master you delivered at that time?"
************
Dong Nuan Courtyard.
An Qing Ran's face was a little pale and more than a little disoriented as she sat dumbly on the edge of the bed looking at Little Ming Chen, "Mother, is there any mark on my father's ankle?"
"Why are you asking this question all of a sudden?" Lian Jingyu froze.
"Mother, you just have to tell me, is there or is there not?" An Qing Ran was visibly nervous after asking this, her eyes burning as she stared at her mother.
When Lian Jingyu saw how solemn and serious An Qingran was, she immediately spoke, "There is a red birthmark on the right ankle, like a sword ......"
The expression on An Qingran's face changed a few times, and Lian Jingyu came closer again and sat beside her, "Qingran, what's going on?"
"This matter has not yet been investigated, Mother, and I will explain it to you some time later."
Looking at her expression, Lian Jingyu smiled, "My daughter is becoming more and more capable, she is not on a national mission, is she?"
"You could say that too."
"Then it was the Crown Prince who had secretly sought you out? Or is there someone looking for trouble with you."
An Qing Ran smiled, "Neither, I'll go first ......"
Saying that, she ran out, and looking at her back, Lian Jin Yu smiled with both pride and helplessness.
She found that she was really becoming more and more dependent and trusting of this daughter of hers.
Whatever she is doing, there must be a reason for her to do it.
Rendong went out again with her Young lady's letter, she felt very excited as she walked. She seemed to know what her Young lady was doing, and if what she was doing was successful, then there would be peace in the General's house.
When she reached the door, she saw the old lady coming back from outside just in time, she was going out to visit her relatives, she escorted the old lady Huang behind her to go outside, she was afraid that the old lady would notice this matter afterwards.
Granny Huang was walking out in a straightforward manner, and when she made a wrong turn, the old lady glanced this way and finally saw Granny Huang and also saw Rendong: "What are you doing here?"
"The servant girl will leave immediately..." Liandong lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head.
"Who is she?" the old lady asked warily.
Rendong immediately replied, "She is Granny Huang, because her body has damp poison, she wants to find Miss to cure ......"
She was in a hurry and was afraid that Granny Huang would take it upon herself to give herself up.
Fortunately, Granny Huang is not stupid, just confused, and when she heard this, she still covered her bladder: "Yes, it's hard to bear this rainy and cloudy day."
The old lady's face changed: "Since when did the General's residence open a medical clinic? How can this daughter just show her face and treat people?"
"Yes, Miss also thought the same way, so she just took a look and asked the servant to send her back..."
The old lady didn't say anything, but went off into the courtyard.
Rendong was startled.
Granny Huang whispered after she left the yard, "Who is this?"
"This is Mrs. An, the original Mistress of the General's Mansion." Rendong also whispered.
Granny Huang's eyes were a little straight: "No wonder..."
After saying a couple of odd things, Rendong arranged a carriage for her and finally sent her away, telling her that she was still wanted for something and that she should not leave the capital for the time being.
Of course Granny Huang agreed, and she would not leave on her own. If people could find her once, they would find her twice, and she felt as if she had been swept up in a whirlwind, but being so old, she felt she need not be afraid.
When she returned, she told An Qing Ran about the incident, who praised her and said she was resourceful, so she became embarrassed.
An Qing Ran sat there deep in thought, she was afraid that her grandmother might have noticed something.
She walked to the Dong Nuan Courtyard and went to see An Mingchen again, not expecting her grandmother to be there.
She froze for a moment, but didn't show any timidity. The old lady said she was here to see her grandson, and Lian Jingyu kindly admitted that she was wrong and should have taken Mingchen to see her earlier.
When she saw An Qingran enter, the old lady's gaze turned to her, "Qingran, how is the wound on your face?"
"Back to grandmother, I am much better."
"Right, I'm just telling your mother, From now on don't bring anyone from the lower classes to the General's residence. You are already the Crown Princess. if you meet disgusting people, how bad it would be to spread anything, furthermore, if they have any purpose, it wouldn't be good to hurt you, would it?" The old lady opened her mouth and said a bunch of things.
"Grandma said true, granddaughter will pay attention."
Lian Jin Yu didn't know what they were talking about, but was smart enough not to interrupt.
The old lady said a couple of words and then left.
When her silhouette disappeared, Lian Jingyu asked, "She seems to have come this time just to say these few words to you, right? It's not strange for her to be a grandmother and manage this matter, it's kind."
"Yes, it's only normal for her to be suspicious when it comes to this matter." An Qing Ran next told her mother about the investigation of Granny Huang, and Lian Jin Yu kept looking at her after hearing this, she jumped up in surprise, with a face of disbelief.
