Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

After lunch, Xiao Lan chatted with her family for a few words and then returned to her room. Farmers would take a break after lunch. Although the whole family is now in the capital, they still keep this habit, which is also the habit of farmers in this era.

Xiao Lan lay on the kang and closed her eyes, but she was not asleep. It was very quiet around her, and Xiao Lan recalled everything that happened today, just like watching a movie.

As a guest, shouldn't she be more generous? From what Third Lady Shen said, she was sure that after Shen Liu returned this time, the eldest lady of the Liu family would definitely not have a good life. Then there was Caiyi. Third Lady Shen didn't elaborate on how she dealt with Caiyi, after all, she was a maid in Shen Liu's house. Caiyi had already been beaten and was sent to the farm. This punishment was already very severe among the maids of the Shen family.

But how can this heavy punishment be compared to the grievances she has endured? You know, she is likely to be arranged to live in the same room with a vulgar man. Even if she is capable and fierce, in this ancient time, if this matter is discovered, she will spend her next life in pain and shame. The culprit of this matter is Caiyi, and this is just her design in a moment of thought. Shouldn't she thank Caiyi for arranging this situation to take her life instead of ruining her reputation?

Who is Caiyi? Xiao Lan thought, if this person is not Caiyi, Shen Liu would not just give the order to slap her in the face and drive her back to the manor and call it a day, right? Is this just for show? Will Shen Liu soften his heart and take Caiyi back after this matter is settled?

How can a man not be soft-hearted when facing a beautiful woman, especially a beautiful woman who admires him and whom he spends time with day and night?

It definitely took a long time for the eldest lady of the Liu family to instigate Caiyi, so what was the influence of Caiyi on Shen Liu?

Xiao Lan is still worried about what happened today. She is not only worried about herself, she is also worried about Xiao Wen and the entire Sheng family.

Maybe she should be more generous, at least not make things difficult for Shen Liu. Xiao Lan also knew that if she did so, it would be in her best interest, but after thinking about it, she still couldn't do it.

After thinking for a while with her eyes closed, she got up and washed up. Then she took out Shen Liusong's gift box from the cabinet and called Xiaoqing and Xiaolu over.

"Go to Qingyuan and give this to Master Shen Liu... If anyone asks, just say that it is inappropriate for me to keep this gift from him... Master Liu should keep it..." Xiao Lan instructed the two maids, "If anyone asks... let me go to Qingyuan to play... just say that my family is too busy now... we don't have time for the time being..."

Xiao Lan has made up her mind not to associate with the Shen family anymore. As for the gifts from Shen Liu, she naturally cannot accept them. She will not go to the Shen Mansion again. Shen Liu has helped her family a lot, but she has also provided a lot of help to Shen Liu. Compared with what her family has received, what Shen Liu has received is not inferior. In this way, her family is not unilaterally receiving the favor of Shen Liu.

In this situation, everyone should part ways amicably, and Xiaolan didn't want to go too far. After sending Xiaoqing and Xiaolu to Qingyuan, Xiaolan thought about it and discussed with Zhang about returning to Shengjia Village.

"Either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, your second uncle will definitely come to the city to deliver soap, and you will go back with him then." Zhang said.

Xiao Lan wanted to leave immediately, but she was afraid that Zhang would get suspicious. Thinking that it would only take a day or two, it would not be a big deal, so she nodded and agreed.

After talking to Zhang for a while, Xiaolan returned to her room. After tidying up a bit, she saw Xiaoqing and Xiaolu hurried over.

"...Sixth Master and Grandma Shen San are here... just outside the door..."

Xiao Lan was stunned. It was beyond her expectation that Shen Liu and Grandma Shen San could come.

At this time, Sheng Xuan and Zhang brought Shen Liu and Shen San's grandmother in. Shen Liu was received by Sheng Xuan in the front yard, while Shen San's grandmother was taken to the back yard by Zhang.

Xiao Lan came out of the house quickly and went with Zhang to greet the Third Grandma of the Shen family. They welcomed the Third Grandma into the east room of the upper house and served her tea and fruit. The Third Grandma was chatting and laughing, and never mentioned what happened in the morning. After sitting for a while, the Third Grandma said she wanted to see Xiao Lan's needlework.

Xiao Lan immediately understood that he wanted to talk to her alone, so she agreed.

Zhang was not used to socializing, and Xiao Lan secretly winked at her, so Zhang was not willing to go over to receive the guests and did not follow them out.

When they arrived at Xiaolan's room, Grandma Shen San took Xiaolan's hand and asked, "Xiaolan, are you angry?" Grandma Shen San asked Xiaolan with a smile.

"No." Xiao Lan replied with a smile.

"Well, then those words you asked the maid to convey... clearly... clearly mean that you don't intend to have any contact with us anymore... isn't that right?" Grandma Shen San asked.

"Not really," Xiao Lan shook her head and denied it, "It's just that I miss Shengjia Village..."

"Xiao Lan, please don't hide it from me," Shen's third grandmother looked at Xiao Lan and sighed secretly, "It's rare that you and I hit it off right away and get along well. I was so happy to have a new friend like you... I didn't expect..."

"Xiao Lan, I'm sorry for what happened this morning. Lao Liu... and I are all very upset. Xiao Lan, please don't become estranged from us just because of a little girl."

Hearing what Grandma Shen San said, Xiao Lan could only smile and said nothing more, "How could that be?"

But what she was thinking in her heart was that she was definitely not estranged from the Shen family because of the girl Caiyi.

Grandma Shen San seemed to believe what Xiao Lan said, and hurriedly said, "That's good, Xiao Lan, you should have a good rest at home this afternoon. I will go back now and won't bother you anymore. After breakfast tomorrow, I will send someone to pick you up..."

"Don't worry, this matter has been handled. Things like today will never happen again... If I send someone to pick you up tomorrow, and you don't go, I will come to pick you up myself..."

After Grandma Shen San talked to Xiao Lan, she said goodbye. At this time, Xiao Qing came over and said that Shen Liu had also left.
