74 -46 Who is Yin Wanwan_2

Ran Yan lowered her head, extinguished the lamp, stretched lazily, and hearing footsteps, turned around to see Xing Niang lifting the curtain.

Xing Niang caught sight of Ran Yan, and paused slightly, “Wife, why are you up?”

“Didn’t I agree yesterday to appointments with two patients?

Today, I have to go into the city to treat them,” Ran Yan settled in front of the makeup mirror.

Xing Niang had no objections to Ran Yan treating and saving people; it wasn’t as though she expected Ran Yan to earn much Silver.

By earning a good reputation, she could marry into a good family in the future, and if Ran Wen intended to make a marital alliance, he would certainly aim high.

The more prestigious Ran Yan’s reputation was, the better the prospects of whom she might marry.

If Ran Wen was influenced by greed or Go’s instigations to match her with a particularly unsuitable partner, the elders of the Ran family would never agree.

After all, even if Ran Wen could discard his dignity, the Ran family couldn’t.

“Ah, as for treating people, if you can heal them, then heal them; if not, just hand them over to Divine Doctor Wu.

After all, he is your mentor, and with this matter on his shoulders, others will have nothing to say,” Xing Niang advised.

Ran Yan smiled and nodded.

“I will ask the Maids to come and attend to the Wife’s washing up.

Keep your eyes peeled and choose a couple to compliment you,” Xing Niang said, rising and heading toward the door.

It wasn’t long before she led four Maids in.

Each of them wore light orange chest-high printed dresses and tied a white belt with a bow at the chest, their hair styled in simple maid’s buns.

These Maids’ clothes were far better than what Wan Lu wore, which saddened Ran Yan, and after letting them attend to her washing up, she then turned to Xing Niang and said, “You see the fabrics that were delivered yesterday?

Pick out the ones you like and cut yourself and Wan Lu a few dresses.

After all, I will have a lot of such things when I return to the main residence.”

After inspecting the Maids, Ran Yan withdrew her gaze, and the Maids also stole glances at her.

With the Lady present yesterday, they had not dared to lift their eyes due to her authority, and last night had been too dark, catching only a glimpse of her back.

Only now did they truly see that the woman before them had hair as smooth as satin cascading down her back, brows like smoke curling into her temples, and a pair of dark eyes, deep and impenetrable, with a faint coldness at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Her lashes, feather-like and gently drooping to cover her deep gaze, cast shadows on her almost translucent white skin, inadvertently revealing a touch of delicate beauty.

Her body as tranquil as jade, her skin as pristine as jade.

They all were somewhat stunned for a moment, having thought that the beauty of the Lady was already the epitome, yet there existed such an ice and snow-like beauty.

Xing Niang knelt behind Ran Yan and took an ox-horn comb to do her hair, “The fabric that the Wife bought last time hasn’t been used up yet.

There’s no need to make other clothes in a hurry, but the Liu family is still dressed in coarse cloth, they should be given some fabric.”

“It was my oversight.

You pick a good piece for them, and two ordinary ones.

Also, provide them with anything else they need,” Ran Yan said indifferently.

The Maids behind her were brought back from their amazement, only to hear this Wife speak in light, indifferent tones, showing not much care, yet her generosity was immense.

The silks and gauzes sent from the main residence were all top-quality, with some fabrics costing hundreds of Silver Coins a piece.

Although it was impossible for the servants to wear fabrics that fine, even the least expensive were worth thirty or forty Silver Coins!

The balance in the hearts of the Maids tilted slightly.

The Lady had clearly stated before that Mistress Seventeen was inattentive and extremely delicate.

Yet from last night until now, whether she was inattentive had yet to be seen, but her eyes and brows—where was there even a hint of delicacy?

Xing Niang asked further, “Will the Wife still ride in the carriage from the estate today?”

Lady Xing always felt that it was beneath her mistress to ride in such a carriage.

It wasn’t because she was afraid of losing face—after all, if the main residence didn’t allocate a carriage, it was the Ran household that would lose face—but rather because the difference in comfort between a good carriage and an ordinary one was huge.

“Yesterday, Shilang drove me back, and his carriage is still at the manor, saying he would come to find me for an outing this morning,” Ran Yan said.

Lady Xing paused her movements, her face alight with joy, “Shilang is back?”

A few maids also felt a stir in their hearts.

Ran Shilang, that was a big gold master!

And it was said he was as handsome as an Immortal.

If they could get on his good side, even his casual generosity would be enough for their families to live on for generations.

With their looks, they had no chance of becoming Ran Shilang’s concubines, but since they were on good terms with the seventeenth lady and they were siblings, pleasing the seventeenth lady was just as good!

Lady Gao probably never dreamed that the few spies she had placed were so easily swayed by a single mention of Ran Shilang.

After getting dressed and having a simple breakfast, Ran Yunsheng seemed to have timed his visit perfectly, as just after Ran Yan put down her chopsticks, Shao Ming announced his arrival.

Lady Xing went out to greet him, while Ran Yan remained seated upright by the table, taking a cup of tea from the maid and rinsing her mouth.

It was the maids, however, who couldn’t hold back their curiosity, peeking out to catch a glimpse of Ran Yunsheng.

His status as a gold master and his handsome features were both sources of intrigue.

Ran Yan also took the opportunity to discreetly observe the four maids.

They were all quite attractive, with two of them even surpassing Wan Lu in looks, yet they all seemed somewhat impetuous, none able to keep a calm demeanor.

That wasn’t to say they were unusable.

Those who couldn’t hide their thoughts were the ones Ran Yan felt more at ease with.

By choosing one or two with potential and nurturing them, they were more reassuring than those who were deeply scheming from the beginning.

As everyone in the room had their own thoughts, laughter approached from outside, and as the light at the doorway dimmed, they saw a figure dressed in a saffron-colored robe with wide sleeves, a white waistband embroidered with silver thread around the waist, and a face as bright as the mid-autumn moon and complexion like the flowers of early spring, with hair neatly arranged and brows and eyes like a painting.

Ran Yunsheng, seeing that Ran Yan hadn’t moved an inch from her seat, pretended to be displeased and said, “Ah Yan, you didn’t even think to greet Shilang.”

Ran Yunsheng’s warmth and amiability always made Ran Yan relax unconsciously, a slight smile curving her lips, “It’s just a coincidence that you’ve arrived, as I’ve just finished eating.

Surely I shouldn’t run outside with a mouthful of grease, right?”

Ran Yunsheng smiled brightly, then changed the subject, “Do you have any place you want to go today?”

“Yes,” Ran Yan gave Ran Yunsheng a glance, his astonishingly handsome appearance was certainly not suitable for accompanying her to treat patients, “Yesterday, two patients made appointments to see me today.

Let’s head to the city first, it won’t take very long.

If you have other matters, feel free to attend to them first.”

Ran Yunsheng asked, surprised, “You know medical skills?”
