"Um... that maid whose name I don't know, you can wait at the door if you'd like," Leng Yihan said with a smile after hearing the maid's words.
"Then...then I'll just wait at the door. After all, Miss asked me to keep a close eye on you today, in case anything happens to you," the maid said.
"Huh? They're really waiting..." Leng Yihan muttered as she turned around, suddenly realizing something was wrong.
Wait... Does Mom know I'm waking up today? She even sent someone to take care of me today... though I don't really feel like I need it.
After hesitating for a while, Leng Yihan stopped thinking about it and walked to the kitchen door, knocking on it.
"Who is it?" came an old voice from inside.
"Excuse me... are you Granny Li? My name is Leng Yihan," Leng Yihan said.
"Oh... young master... please come in, please come in. Is there anything I can help you with?" Just as Leng Yihan finished speaking, the kitchen door was opened, and behind the door stood an old woman with white hair, who looked Leng Yihan up and down as she spoke.
“Grandma Li, to be honest, I’m here to find out some things… about my mother.” Leng Yihan stated her purpose directly and observed Grandma Li’s reaction.
She was now particularly concerned about what the maid had said earlier. While wanting to learn about her mother's past, she also wanted to see if she could find out anything from Granny Li.
"Oh? What do you want to know?"
"Hmm... do you want to know some things about Mom from the past to the present? Tell me about what Mom did when she was in the Leng family. I'm curious, since in another world, Mom rarely came back when I was little, and even less after I became independent. I don't know much about her, so I'm curious to know..." Leng Yihan scratched her face and said.
"Oh~ no problem, come in first. Let me think about it. Since you want to know, I'll tell you. After all, some things are really quite interesting." Granny Li didn't refuse after hearing Leng Yihan's words; on the contrary, she was quite happy to say so.
"Thank you, Granny Li!" Leng Yihan bowed to Granny Li to express her gratitude.
After Leng Yihan followed Granny Li into the kitchen, Granny Li took out a stool from under the table in the middle of the kitchen and handed it to Leng Yihan, then took another stool for herself and sat down.
"Hmm...when should we begin?"
"Why don't we start with the troubles? Do Grandma Li and Mom have a good relationship?" Leng Yihan said first.
"Not bad, right? That child did come to me to complain whenever she was unhappy when she was little. After all, I'm a very tight-lipped old man, and I never tell anyone the secrets she tells me. Of course, you might be an exception," Granny Li said with a smile.
"After all, you are her child."
You really know how to keep your mouth shut!
Although Leng Yihan thought this to herself, she didn't say it aloud, otherwise Granny Li might have really stopped talking.
"I remember once when I was a child..."
Leng Yihan chatted with Granny Li in the kitchen. Although he listened with great interest, he hadn't forgotten his purpose.
After about an hour, Grandma Li finally managed to tell Leng Yihan all the stories about her mother's worries before she left. And then…
"Grandma Li, after Mom came home, did she have any troubles to tell you again like before?" Leng Yihan pretended to ask the question casually, as if she was just subconsciously asking because of what had happened before, thus revealing her true purpose.
What Granny Li did next immediately delighted Leng Yihan.
It was noticeable that Granny Li's expression changed after hearing Leng Yihan's words. Although it was only for a very brief moment, Leng Yihan still noticed it.
Grandma Li quickly realized Leng Yihan's purpose in coming here, and the atmosphere in the kitchen suddenly became quite awkward. The two looked at each other knowingly, waiting for the other to speak first.
"You came here today... could it be... that you know something?" Finally, Granny Li couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe... It seems Mother also knew that this matter couldn't be kept from me. It seems that most of the Leng family already knows about this. In that case, you only need to keep the details from me." Leng Yihan said after seeing Granny Li's appearance, which seemed to indicate that she had no intention of hiding anything.
“That’s true… so I won’t tell you. You should ask her yourself,” Granny Li said.
"Why won't you tell me? What exactly happened to your mother?" Leng Yihan stood up and asked Granny Li with a serious look in her eyes.
“…I’m sorry.” Grandma Li shook her head, clearly indicating that she absolutely could not tell anyone what had happened to her mother.
"...Alright, then Grandma Li, you've gone to so much trouble to tell me some funny stories about my mother's past. I'll find out what happened myself."
326 are all hiding it.
After that, Leng Yihan thanked Granny Li again and left.
The maid stood at the door for over an hour. The kitchen door wasn't closed, but the maid didn't go over. She knew that since Leng Yihan had told her to leave, she obviously didn't want her to know anything.
But he probably doesn't know yet, but everyone in the courtyard is keeping something from Leng Yihan...
"Ah, you're out." The maidservant stepped forward and said after seeing Leng Yihan come out of the kitchen.
"Yes, I learned quite a bit about Mom's childhood, it was quite interesting." Leng Yihan smiled. "Alright, now could you please take me to my friend's place?"
"Okay, come with me."
The two didn't exchange any words along the way. The maid walked at a brisk pace, and they arrived at their destination in about five or six minutes.
As soon as Leng Yihan entered the courtyard, she saw Leng Zhenmo calmly playing chess with the flustered Xu Xiaoxiao under the shade of a tree in a corner of the courtyard.
What the heck... Are they starting their retirement life ahead of schedule?
Leng Yihan thought to herself.
"Hmm? You've recovered?" Noticing someone had arrived at the door, Qing turned around and saw Leng Yihan, then calmly said.
"Hmm, what's going on with you guys? Are you living the life of the elderly ahead of time?" Leng Yihan stepped forward and complained to Leng Zhenmo and Xu Xiaoxiao.
"There's nothing we can do. We're unfamiliar with this place. We were quite interested at first, but after exploring it a bit, we felt there wasn't much to see. It's better to just stay in this courtyard, play chess when we're bored, and occasionally go to the training ground to practice martial arts. Why bother going out?" Leng Zhenmo said helplessly.
"Yes, yes!" Xu Xiaoxiao quickly responded, "Ahhh! Leng Zhenmo! You're doomed!"
"What are you doing... General?"
"It was bait?!"
Although it was done very quickly, Leng Yihan still sensed something was wrong.
Xu Xiaoxiao seemed a little flustered just now?
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Hmm... I don't know. Xu Xiaoxiao, are you alright yet? You're hopeless, there's no saving you." Leng Zhen said without even looking up.
"Hmm...hmm..." Although Xu Xiaoxiao was responding, it was obvious that her mind was not on the game of chess, but on something else.
"Her acting is terrible..." Leng Yihan had a general idea of what was going on when she saw Xu Xiaoxiao's appearance, and sighed helplessly.
They've even issued a gag order against them...?
"Qing, come with me. You stay here." The 'you' Leng Yihan was referring to was naturally the maid who was leading the way for her.
"Mm." The maid nodded, without saying anything more.
"Where is your room?" After moving a little further away, Leng Yihan said to Qing, "Let's talk in your room."
"Come with me." Qing nodded and did not refuse, leading Qing towards a house in the small courtyard.
After entering the house, the decorations inside were not much different from Leng Yihan's room. Qing invited Leng Yihan to sit down on the stool at the table and poured her a cup of tea.
"Why did you suddenly pour me tea?" Leng Yihan asked casually.
"So that we could admire your water-spraying antics, you know what we've been keeping from you," Qing said directly.
"Ah...yes, what exactly happened?" Leng Yihan asked, squinting.
“You must have asked others before, and my answer was the same as theirs—we will not tell you what happened,” Qing said.
"Oh? Then tell me how it works?"
Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, Leng Yihan's eyes turned blood red.
"Lu Youmei, thank you for your trouble."
"Fine, I'll give it a try, okay? I just can't stand you."
On the way here, Leng Yihan had been planning. The reason she asked Qing was because she figured Qing had little resistance to Lu Youmei and might tell Lu Youmei.
Because of this, Leng Yihan kept pleading with Lu Youmei the whole way, and her mind was on talking to Lu Youmei. She had no mood to talk to the maid.
"Ugh! Leng, Leng Yihan! Cunning!" Qing's expression changed instantly when she saw Lu Youmei appear.
"Qing~ Tell your sister~ I promise I will never tell Leng Yihan~" Lu Youmei reached out and hugged Qing.
But I can tell Leng Yihan by writing it down...hehe.
"But...but...you absolutely can't...tell Yihan..." A struggle appeared on Qing's face, as if she had made up her mind not to tell anyone.
"Come on~ tell me~" Lu Youmei reached out and rubbed Qing's head. Qing's face turned red instantly, and he couldn't help but let out a panting breath, revealing an expression of enjoyment on his face.
"Wait...wait...no...I was told...I absolutely can't tell..." Qing was still trying to struggle.
“Tell me~ My most, most, most adorable Qing~” Lu Youmei said, leaning closer and gently biting Qing’s earlobe.
"Um~~~"
"Sir, Qing has crashed. How should we deal with this?"
Then... just tell everyone the truth...
This is the thought in the young brain.
"Please...please satisfy Qing like you did just now...Qing will tell her sister...but...you absolutely cannot let Lengyin hear..." Qing said breathlessly.
Is it really necessary...? It was just a little bite on the earlobe, was it...?
Seeing Qing's exaggerated reaction, Leng Yihan's lips twitched.
“Okay, okay~ No problem, absolutely no problem~” Lu Youmei immediately said.
"Um...this is how it is..."
Leng Yihan was about to listen when she realized she couldn't hear Qing's words anymore.
Then she quickly realized that Lu Youmei had actually sealed her hearing...
But it doesn't matter. Lu Youmei must have other ways to tell me the message. Sealing off her hearing is just to keep her from hearing it, to fulfill her promise to Qing...
After thinking about it this way, Leng Yihan didn't pay much attention to it and just waited for the time being.
However, he soon noticed something was wrong; Lu Youmei's expression gradually became strange.
Then, after a few more minutes, Leng Yihan regained her hearing.
Incidentally, there was a period during which she completely lost all five senses. As for what exactly happened during that time... a bold idea popped into Leng Yihan's mind.
"How are you?" As soon as Leng Yihan regained her senses, she immediately asked Lu Youmei and took over her body.
“…I know why they said not to let you know, because even if you knew, you couldn’t control it, and it wouldn’t make a difference. It’s just a small thing, but it’s a small thing that you can’t know about, that’s all.” Lu Youmei’s answer was beyond Leng Yihan’s expectations.
“…” Leng Yihan was not angry, but fell silent.
