Xiao Lan was a little depressed. She originally thought that if she did that, Shen Liu and the third grandmother of the Shen family would definitely go along with it...but she didn't expect that they would have such an attitude.

After a while, Xiaoqing came in from outside with a box in her hand.

"What is this?" Xiao Lan found that the box looked familiar. It was clearly the one she sent the two maids to return to Shen Liu... How come Xiao Qing brought it back?

"Miss, this was stuffed into my hand by the lady next to Master Six when I was sending the Third Madam and Master Shen off just now... She also told me to hold it carefully and not to bump or bump it..."

Xiao Lan took the box and after opening it, she saw that it was actually the jade comb that Shen Liu had given her before. Shen Liu actually secretly had someone send the thing back to her!

"Miss, we were outside just now and heard the servants of the Shen family talking. They were talking about Caiyi..." Xiaoqing whispered to Xiaolan.

"What's wrong with Caiyi?" Xiao Lan asked.

"It was said that the little girl Caiyi was beaten... and was going to be sent to the farm... She was a little depressed... She said she couldn't survive these few days and passed away..." Xiaoqing said, "She also mentioned the names of several little girls, saying that they were all tied up and sent to the farm..."

"I heard from them that the farm is far away, in the mountains. They also said that these girls are spoiled in the mansion, and if they go there, they will probably not survive..."

The Shen family is a wealthy and powerful family in Liaodong Prefecture, so naturally they own many farms, including some in the mountains. These farms are generally close to the north, which is wild and has a harsh climate. Such farms have the worst conditions.

"Which girl said that? How could you hear it so clearly?" Xiao Lan asked.

"I don't know what those two people are called, but I feel they look familiar... They should be the girls from Master Liu's courtyard... I feel like these two girls said that specifically for me to hear, specifically for Xiaolu and me to hear..."

Xiaolu nodded in agreement.

Shen Liu and the third grandmother of the Shen family came to her house. The third grandmother of the Shen family said those words to her. The maidservant of Shen Liu specifically conveyed the results of the treatment of Caiyi and others to Xiaoqing and Xiaolu. It was obvious that the Shen family was conveying some kind of message to her.

Caiyi couldn't get over it and couldn't survive for more than a few days. Does this mean that Caiyi couldn't survive? Did Caiyi commit suicide herself or did Shen Liu order her to be punished?

To be honest, Xiao Lan had never thought about Caiyi's death. It had nothing to do with anything else. It was just that she was taught in modern times that human life is paramount. Even though she traveled to ancient times, this idea was still deeply rooted in her.

She now wants to separate from the Shen family. Although it is because of the Caiyi incident, it is not just because of Caiyi.

Now, Shen Liu apologized sincerely, which made Xiao Lan a little undecided.

The next day, Xiao Lan had just finished her breakfast when someone came in to report that the Shen family had sent a sedan chair to pick up Xiao Lan to go to Qingyuan to play.

"The nanny next to the Third Grandma of the Shen Family came here specially..."

Hearing what Xiaolu said, Xiaolan couldn't help but hold her forehead. She knew in her heart that the Third Granny of the Shen family was afraid that she would not be able to go at the last minute, so she simply asked the nanny beside her to come and invite her. She was determined to bring her to Qingyuan.

"Our Madam sent me here specially. Please don't get too excited. At least go to the garden and chat with our Madam..." Nanny Li smiled and bowed when she saw Xiao Lan, then handed her an invitation. "Our Madam also wrote an invitation specially for you."

This was the first time that Third Grandma Shen had sent a formal invitation to Xiaolan, which was enough to show that Third Grandma Shen attached great importance to Xiaolan. She was probably afraid that she would find an excuse not to go today. Since Xiaolan had become familiar with her, the invitation was never needed when the two of them were in contact.

Xiao Lan took the note and opened it. It was written by Grandma Shen San, and she sincerely invited her to visit Qingyuan.

Things have come to this point, if Xiao Lan continues to refuse to go, it will be hard to explain.

Xiao Lan stopped being pretentious and went straight back to her room to change into a set of spring clothes. After tidying up a little, she came out of the room. Then she said goodbye to Zhang and went to the courtyard gate with Xiao Qing, Xiao Lu and Nanny Li.

After entering Qingyuan, Xiao Lan followed Nanny Li to see Grandma Shen San.

"After breakfast, I've been looking forward to your coming..." The two of them sat on the couch, and Grandma Shen San looked at Xiao Lan and said with a smile. Xiao Lan's coming today meant that she had no grudges in her heart, which really made her feel relieved and happy.

Neither of them mentioned what happened yesterday. They talked and laughed for a long time. Then Grandma Shen San took out the needle and thread, and the two began to compare and talk about needle and thread.

After playing for a while, Xiaolan asked to leave.

"You must eat here again in a few days." Grandma Shen San said to Xiao Lan, "Your family doesn't have anything to do, and I have no one to accompany me here..."

Xiao Lan nodded and agreed after hearing her say this. "It will take some time to eat standing up, I want to go out for a walk..."

Grandma Shen San called a maid over and asked her to accompany Xiao Lan around.

Xiao Lan walked along the edge of the pool. Not far away, in a pavilion by the pool, Shen Liu was fishing.

Xiao Lan was a little surprised. She thought Shen Liu should have returned to the city, so why was he still here?

Not sure if Shen Liu heard the noise here, he looked up in Xiao Lan's direction. Then their eyes met. Xiao Lan thought, if she deliberately took a detour, wouldn't it seem too deliberate, which would undoubtedly make the people of the Shen family think she didn't know etiquette... But if she told the maid of Shen San's grandmother that she didn't dare to disturb Shen Liu, it should be fine... Before Xiao Lan could talk to the little girl, Shen Liu had already sent someone over.

"Greetings to Miss Sheng. Our Sixth Master wants you to come over and talk." A little girl came over, knelt down to salute Xiao Lan, and said.

There was no other choice, Xiao Lan had to bite the bullet and walk towards the pavilion.

This pavilion was built beside the pond. Shen Liu was the only one fishing in the hall, and the servants were standing outside the pavilion. The little girl led Xiao Lan into the pavilion, and she bowed and greeted Shen Liu.
