In the past, the servants on the estate did not see Ran Yan as anybody important She was not only weak, but she had also fallen down to such a low state, yet she still deeht of speaking to them would somehow sully her status

Nevertheless, even if Ran Yan was not favored, she was still the daughter of the Ran fa at the estate As for the servants, even though they disliked her, they did not bother her Thus they did not dare to nored her As a result of seeing her save Zhou San Lang froo, not only did the e, but it also i them to now treat her more politely

When Ran Yan finished reading the letter, she stuffed the letter in her belongings, “Wan Lu, award the half Guan of silver to him”

Wan Lu paused Though she felt strongly against it, she could not express this in front of a stranger Handing over things in her ar half Guan andit to the servant, “If one helps our Niang Zi, they will be treated well Thanks for helping us this time”

This surprised the servant When he held the half Guan in his hands, he recovered fro Zi for the award In the future if Niang Zi needs assistance, let me know and I will try to help”

Ran Yan nodded slightly, “Thank you (for your trouble)”

Though her polite language shocked the servant He saw that she was tactful and quickly put away the money and left

“Humph, what a terrible person!” Wan Lu snorted in a low voice

Xing Niang and Ran Yan did not add hter of the wife, if she did not award the servants, ould come attend to her? To make it worse, the old Ran Yan looked down on others even though she was poor to save face Despite being worse off than the servants in the main estate, she still felt that she was better than others, and could not see reality

Looking over the unopened letter, it only contained some pleasantries Other than that, it explained that the two Liang of silver in the bag was the iven to the doctor That person did not accept it and entrusted Liu shi+ to return it However, since Zhou San Lang’s health was still poor, Liu shi+ cannot leave so she passed the task on to Sang Chen to return

Ran Yan restrained her inco waves of emotions and tried to slon to match her normal pace

Since it was early , the back doors on the houses by the riverbank were opened Limestone steps led directly into the river The woetables on the stone steps, exchanged greetings in Wu dialect

There was also a boat carrying cargo slowly drifting down the river asking the wooods

Seeing this serene and peaceful scene was cal to Ran Yan, yet her steps did not slon Si murder cases, forensic doctors needed to arrive at the scene as soon as possible, Ran Yan was accustomed to these situations

Wan Lu knew that the school house was on the east side of the village and so she guided Ran Yan in that direction
