♂?，，

  What instructions does the old lady have? Lin Lan looked at the old witch's smile and her heart was beating fast, an old witch and an old fool getting together, what good things could happen?

  Lin Lan sat down again, with a smile on her face, listening attentively.

  The old lady took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and smiled slightly: "These days, seeing people rushing to and fro, busy coming and going, one should also pay attention to their own body."

  "Thank you for your concern, Grandma. The pharmacy just opened and there are still some things that haven't been sorted out yet. After a few days, when everyone gets the hang of it, we'll be able to save some effort." Lin Lan said with a smile.

  The old lady nodded: "To say, opening a pharmacy is also a good thing to do good deeds and accumulate virtues. It's not that ordinary businessmen can compare with it. Mingyun has already helped to start a good beginning, and now it depends on one's own ability."

  Lin Lan was silent, Ming Yun was busy dealing with the two old women, where did he have time to help me manage the medicine shop? Forget it, let's put the credit on Ming Yun's head, she didn't mind anyway, after all, husband and wife are one body.

  "Yes!" Lin Lan humbly replied.

  "It's just that the pharmacy is busy, and household chores can't be helped but neglected." Madam Han interjected.

  Lin Lan blinked: "At home... nothing's going on!"

  "Come on, how can there be nothing going on? It's all about whether you care or not."

  Huh? So, she's one of those carefree types? However, she really can't think of anything that needs to be done. The household chores are taken care of by Zhou Ma, external matters can be handled by herself and Ming Yun, and all the miscellaneous tasks are done by the maids. What else could there be?

  The old lady and the old witch exchanged a look, their expression seemed to say, "Look! After all, you're young and don't understand things, we elders have to worry about it."

  The old lady said, "I think it's nothing to spend the day on, every little thing is a matter, especially now, Mingyun's official position is getting bigger and bigger, things are getting busier and busier, when I get back home, there's always someone to take care of me..."

  How come no one takes care of him? Ming Yun returns home, the maids serve tea, pour water, even untie his clothes and take off his shoes. What more service does he need? Does he want to be fed too? The maids are willing, but Ming Yun is not! He's not a disabled person or an intellectually challenged child...

  Lin Lan seemed to understand that the old drunkard's intention was not in the wine, but rather that he was dissatisfied with her for not having time to serve him and thought she served poorly, wanting to fill her house with people, like Yu Lian or White Lotus Flower.

  "Grandma means to find a good helper, so that she can focus on opening the pharmacy and there will be someone at home to take care of things. It's killing two birds with one stone." The old witch's smile was particularly radiant, full of schadenfreude.

  Lin Lan pretended to be muddle-headed: "Okay! I'll go buy two more maids later, and add some staff."

  The old lady sighed: "There's no one as considerate and reliable as a husband by your side."

  "Oh! So Grandma means for Mingyun to take a concubine?" Lin Lan suddenly said.

  "Exactly, that's what the old lady and master meant. Master said he was a sensible person, although born into a farming family, his vision and temperament are comparable to those of a noble lady. Now it depends on his intentions."

  Lin Lan smiled dryly and brought out the dregs of her father and old Huang, even putting a tall hat on her. What else could she mean?

  "Uh... Sun's daughter-in-law won't oppose this, the key is still to see Mingyun's intention. You know Mingyun's temper, Grandma, sometimes he can be very stubborn. Once he makes up his mind, no one can change it. His wife wouldn't dare take it upon herself to agree on his behalf." Lin Lan said innocently. She laid down a trap first, not that she disagreed, but rather let them try to persuade Mingyun themselves!

  "This man, always speaking with a forked tongue, what he says and what he thinks are two different things." Han said lightly.

  Lin Lan smiled and looked at her, thinking: That's the kind of scumbag that my husband and son would be, speaking one way but thinking another. My Ming Yun is not that kind of person.

  "As long as you don't object, Ming Yun is my grandson. I know my own grandson best; he's the most filial and won't disappoint his elders." The old lady said with self-assurance.

  Beside her, Zhu's mother twitched at the corner of her mouth. Oh, old lady! You're not loving your grandson, you're simply harming him.

  "It's still grandma who dotes on her grandson." A bright and clear voice rang out, and Ming Yun walked in immediately.

  Lin Lan saw Ming Yun rushing over with a dusty face, and she was both delighted and excited. She went up to greet him and asked, "When did you arrive?"

  Li Mingyun looked a bit tired but had a pleasant smile on his face, with warm eyes and said in a soft voice: "Just back."

  He immediately stepped forward two steps and saluted the old lady: "The grandson knows that his grandmother misses him, so as soon as he arrives home, he comes to greet his grandmother first."

  Han was secretly displeased and thought: How coincidental that you've come, speaking sweet words on the surface, coming to pay respects to Grandmother, but actually looking for Lin Lan!

  The old lady smiled and asked: "Was the journey smooth?"

  "Thanks to Grandmother's blessing, everything went smoothly." Li Ming bowed respectfully.

  "That's good, have you eaten?" The old lady was concerned, and Ming Yu became more and more spirited, and the old lady naturally valued her more.

  "Not yet! But my grandson has already asked Wen Shan to tell Gui Sao to prepare some food."

  "Don't stand there, sit down... Congratulations, Mom, serve tea to Second Master." The old lady instructed.

  Li Mingyun sat down beside Lin Lan, who smiled slightly and said: "Just now, my grandmother and mother were talking about taking a concubine! I don't dare to take the liberty of making decisions."

  Li Mingyun smiled warmly: "Agreed?"

  "As long as you like, I naturally agree." She played the role of a gentle and magnanimous good wife, but secretly shot a sharp glance at him, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally sweeping over his crotch, implying "If you dare to want me, I'll make you useless."

  Li Mingyun first felt a chill on his scalp, then saw her gaze drop down, and suddenly felt numb all over, with the image of Lin Lan holding two invincible kitchen knives in her hand, flashing in his mind with an evil smile.

  "Ah, Mingyun! Both you and Linlan are busy now, with many considerate people around you who can take care of things and share some of the burden with Linlan..." Madam Han hastily spoke up.

  Li Mingyun's gaze shifted slightly, with a hint of mockery in his smile, and he said leisurely: "In theory, that's right, but the choice of this person is very important. If there's an unsatisfactory person by your side, it won't be a pleasant thing, but rather a frustrating one."

  "Don't worry, the old lady's choice is definitely the most gentle and quiet one, guaranteed to be satisfactory." Mrs. Han said with a smile.

  Li Mingyun slightly furrowed his brow: "Gentle and quiet? I don't like this type, the temperament is too calm, it's boring to get along with."

  The old lady heard that Yu Lian was out of the question? After thinking about it, Yu Lian didn't work out, so she'd find another one. She asked in a gentle voice: "What kind does he like?"

  Li Mingyu looked at Lin Lan and thought for a moment: "I think Sun Er still likes the lively, lovely, honest and kind Lan Er."

  Lin Lan glared at him with a hint of sweetness in her heart, and her ears even turned hot. This guy is so shameless, his flattery is too straightforward!

  The old lady and Mr. Han looked at each other, this standard, it seems easy to say, but Ming Yun's meaning is clear, unless it's with Lin Lan, otherwise forget about it.

  "Sonny thinks that Mingzhu's sister is not bad, although she is a bit willful, but she is still young and doesn't understand things yet. It's okay to teach her slowly. If I were to take Mingzhu's sister in, Sonny would have to agree, Lan'er, what do you think?" Li Mingyun asked Linlan sincerely.

  An old lady's teacup cover fell off with a "clink".

  Mom quickly picked up a handkerchief and wiped it clean: "It's okay, didn't break."

  Lin Lan glanced at the old lady and the old witch on the upper seat, both of whom had faces as pale as earth, looking utterly embarrassed. Lin Lan found it very difficult to hold back her laughter, Ah! Li Mingyan was too ruthless.

  She pretended to think seriously and said, "Well, being close to each other is also good."

  Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the two people's even more awkward expressions, their faces looking increasingly ugly. Lin Lan added another dose of strong medicine, saying: "If you like it, that's good, I think mother will like it too."

  Li Mingyun got Lin Lan's consent and turned to the old lady with a bow: "Then let's get Grandma married."

  The old lady's feelings at this time were even more unbearable than eating flies, and Mingzhu's identity was unknown to them. But weren't they siblings with the same father but different mothers? How could they get married? The old lady looked at Han Shi with great annoyance, as if saying that this idea was hers, now she had to solve it herself! She simply washed her hands of it.

  Han's heart was uncomfortable and uneasy, as Ming Yu and his wife had repeatedly joined forces to deal with Mingzhu, causing her a great loss. Now they said they liked Mingzhu's temperament and wanted to take her as a concubine. Were they intentionally trying to take in Mingzhu to continue making things difficult for her, or did they know something? The latter concern was what Han feared the most.

  Mrs. Han's thoughts turned quickly, and she soon calmed down, saying softly: "Mingzhu is used to being willful, her father dislikes her very much, he has said many times that he wants to marry her off early, so at the beginning of spring, I asked a matchmaker to help her find a suitable husband, and now they are discussing it!"

  Li Ming allowed no regret to show as he said, "So that's how it is! What a pity! Actually, I've been wanting to bring this up for some time now, but I thought Big Brother liked Ming Zhu, so I didn't say anything. Alas... Since that's the case, I'll just have to give up on the idea of taking a concubine. Lan'er, it seems you'll have to work harder."

  Han was once again frustrated, did Li Mingyun really know or was he just pretending?

  Lin Lan's stomach was about to cramp up, but she still had to put on a virtuous and obedient appearance: "Serving one's husband, no matter how hard it is, is something that should be done."

  Just then, Li's eyes flashed with a wolf-like glow. Lin Lan suddenly felt that her attitude was very problematic.

  The old lady had already been persuaded by Mingyun's clever words, and with a sigh, she said: "Mingyun! You must be tired from traveling, go back and rest now! As for the matter of taking a concubine, let's talk about it later!"

  Li Mingyun and Lin Lan hastily stood up and bid farewell.

  After the two left, the old lady's face sank and she said in a cold voice: "Don't mention the matter of taking a concubine again, and don't tell Master about today's events either, lest he gets upset."

  Han's goal was not only unfulfilled, but he also got a nose full of ash and was thoroughly disgusted by Li Mingyun. His heart was so gloomy that he wanted to go to the old master to complain, but the old lady had already given him a gag order. He was so angry that his blood was boiling, and his chest hurt, and he responded in a low voice: "Wife, remember this."
