Chapter 31 Mei Lan’s Choice 2

After all, she is still a human being now, and she is also afraid that on the day she was a human, the enemy would seize Mei Lan's family and threaten Mei Lan to cause harm to her.

It’s not because she has such strange thoughts, it’s because she has watched too many palace dramas, and her two decades of experience have to make her wary of what may happen in the future.

Nan Yan saw Mei Lan's entangled look and said, "I'll give you three days, you can go back and think about it yourself!"

Mei Lan was called back to her room by Nan Yan to think carefully about whether to leave or stay.

Mei Lan had been moved before, but she never thought about going back to the village to live among ordinary people. The parents she saw today had gray hair on their temples, so she didn't want to go back and serve them.

I have this idea, but it is very cruel to implement it.

She is a daughter. Even if the lady lets her go back to the village, how long can she stay with her parents?

After all, women have to get married, right?

Moreover, everyone in the village has a feudal mentality.

If she returns to the village, someone might be gossiping behind her back about what terrible things she did at her master's house.

In this era, not all women working as maids in wealthy families were innocent. In order to live a better life or escape from slavery, some women climbed into the bed of their male masters, became concubines in their backyards, or became their first wives.

It was not like she had never seen this kind of thing happen to her previous owner.

Just because she didn't want to have anything to do with the male master? She acted smart and did something wrong, and was betrayed by her master.

Mei Lan thought of all the pressure she might face if she went back. The next day, she looked at Nan Yan with panda eyes and said, "Miss, I don't want to go back. Mei Lan would like to stay with her and serve her."

Nan Yan looked up at Mei Lan and said, "You have really thought about it."

: "Yes, I have thought about it. My parents are not far from the city. If I want to go back to see them in the future, I can just take some time to go back and have a look." Mei Lan expressed her thoughts last night.

Nan Yan raised her eyelids, stood up from the chair and walked to the window, looking at the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard, and said: "You should know that I am not from Linzhou. One day I will leave Linzhou. If you and I leave, maybe in this life

It is very likely that I will never see my parents and relatives again."

She didn't want the person who had been by her side for such a long time to leave, but she needed to make these things clear to Mei Lan.

Even if she had not met the Wang family before, now that Mei Lan meets her parents, she cannot be allowed to follow her in confusion.

Mei Lan never thought that the young lady would leave Linzhou. She thought that the young lady would live here forever, so she said that she would like her parents to take time to go back and visit in the future.

What the lady just said was very clear.

If she chooses to stay with the young lady and serve her, given her parents' current age, she may never have the chance to see her again in this life.

She was just asked to return to the village, and she was a little confused for a moment.

Nan Yan gave Mei Lan three days to think about it. It was only the second day now. She was not in a hurry and Mei Lan would give her a result now.

Day after day, three days passed quickly. Mei Lan found Nan Yan and called out: "Miss," then knelt down and kowtowed to Nan Yan three times and said, "Miss, thank you for your support during this time."

This slave is taking care of you, your parents have come to take you home."

Mei Lan went back the day before yesterday and couldn't make up her mind, so she took a leave from Nan Yan and went back to Wangjiacun.

Although we are no longer familiar with each other when we arrive at home, our family members are as friendly as before.

That night, she and her mother were in the same room and had a long conversation. The next day, she found an opportunity to tell her parents that the lady was willing to let her go back to the village.

Without saying a word, her parents and brothers asked her to return to the village.

No matter whether the life in the village will be bitter or sweet in the future, at least my descendants will no longer be slaves of a wealthy family, but ordinary innocent people.

After making the decision, her parents took her eldest brother back to the city with her, and now they came to say goodbye to Nan Yan.

Nan Yan and Mei Lan have been together for such a long time, so it's not that they don't have feelings for each other.

Seeing her make a choice, apart from being a little complicated in her heart, she was actually quite happy that Mei Lan returned to the common people.

Nan Yan's eyes were a little red at this moment. She stood up and pulled up Mei Lan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "You will no longer be a slave. Please don't do this kind of etiquette again in the future."

Then he took out Mei Lan's deed of betrayal and said, "Here's this for you. Tear it up and you will be free from now on."

Mei Lan burst into tears, then took the thin paper that had bound her for many years, cried and laughed, and tore it into pieces at Nan Yan's signal.

Nan Yan took out the last things she had prepared and said: "Here is the dowry I prepared for you. Keep these things yourself and do not give them to others. With these things here, others will think highly of you when you marry into your husband's family."

How much do you need to do to strengthen your waist?"

"Miss, I can't take these things." Mei Lan choked and said intermittently.

"Miss, I specially prepared this for you. Is there anything I can't ask for?" Nan Yan pretended to be angry, then waved her hand: "Okay, I've said all that needs to be said. Don't keep uncle and aunt waiting. Go to the courtyard."

Say goodbye to the sisters and let’s go!”

After Nan Yan said this, she pinched her head to the other side.

I secretly cursed myself for becoming more and more emotional in this world.

Mei Lan also felt bad. After kowtowing to Nan Yan three times, she hugged the things Nan Yan had given her and walked out of the room to say goodbye to the servants who had been waiting for her.

The servants in Nan Yan's house were all the servants who were sold back in the same batch as Mei Lan.

Everyone saw that Mei Lan had found her family, and the lady let her go back.

Everyone was happy for her and took out the gifts they had prepared in advance to see Mei Lan off.

When Mei Lan walked out of the mahogany gate, the royal father, queen mother and the eldest brother of the Wang family saw that Mei Lan had so many things in her hands. They did not feel any greed, but they felt sorry for Mei Lan's eyes which were red from crying.

It was the king's father who felt sorry for his lost daughter. He was grateful to Nan Yan for letting her return to the village, and said: "My child, kowtow to Miss Nan here, let's go!"

The tears that Mei Lan had stopped just now welled up again. She kowtowed obediently again before going back with her parents.

When she returned to her long-awaited home, her second brother who stayed at home had already packed up her place, and she had time to open the box Nan Yan gave her.

There were not many things in the box for Nan Yan, but when Mei Lan saw two gold hairpins, a pair of silver bracelets, and one hundred taels of silver in the box, her tears started to flow again.

No matter how much Mei Lan misses Nan Yan, she has returned to the countryside and will not have much interaction with Nan Yan in the future.

She left home at the age of ten and returned home at the age of eighteen. The hard days were over, and the rest of her life had just begun.

After Mei Lan left, Nan Yan was reluctant to leave, but she knew that all the banquets in the world were over, so she quickly gathered her emotions and picked a girl named "Zisu" from among several girls to take over Mei Lan's previous role.

Work.

Zi Su took Mei Lan's job and naturally followed her.

On this day in late April, Shanghecun came to Nan Yan's home on Friday.

After meeting Nan Yan with the housekeeper on Friday, he bowed and said, "I met Miss Nan on Friday."

Nan Yan, who was sitting on the main seat, said, "What are you doing here?"

It has been a month since she returned to the city.

After she came back, she occasionally asked the housekeeper how the flowers in the field were growing, but she didn't ask much else.

At this time, Friday came, maybe something happened to her flowers.

When I asked Nan Yan on Friday, I quickly explained the purpose of my visit: "Ms. Nan, the flowers in the field are growing well and are blooming now. I came to ask Miss Nan what should we do after the flowers bloom.

How to do it?"
