In the Lin family''s mansion, Lin Xiaohe is personally sending Lonnie, a British health doctor who regularly checks his mother out.


    "Doctor, is my mother all right?" Lin Xiaohe smiled and walked with Lonnie across the front lawn towards the parking lot outside.


    Lonnie said in English: "the old lady''s health is fairly normal, but you really should persuade her to smoke less cigarettes. From this inspection, I''m sure the old lady hasn''t reduced the number of cigarettes she smokes every day."


    "Have you tested the drugs and health products she ate?" Lin Xiaohe asked quietly.


    "No problem, I have taken samples back for inspection. They are all normal and can be taken without causing damage to the old lady''s body." Lonnie said to Lin Xiaohe positively: "it''s not the problem of eating too many health care drugs and supplements. The biggest problem is to let the old lady quit smoking."


    Lin Xiaohe smiled at Lonnie: "thank you, doctor. I''ll personally supervise her this time. The old man is old and has the same temper as a child. He doesn''t listen to people''s advice."


    "I''ll leave first, Mr. Lin." Lonnie turned and got into his car and left.


    When Lin Xiaohe saw the doctor off and returned to the back hall of the mansion, he was now 72 years old with white hair, but he still maintained his hair and face. Hong Lanfang, the ruddy old lady of the Lin family, was calm and angry with several servants:


    "At my age, I can''t eat cigarettes? Don''t be frightened by ghost doctor Tong ahe. I''m fine. Cough... Go and get me a cigarette."


    None of the servants dared to speak. Only Lin Xiaoze, who was sitting next to Hong Lanfang, was his biological mother. Now 67 year old Lin Xizhen''s concubine, Zheng Ruilian, coaxed Hong Lanfang with a good voice:


    "Elder sister, the doctor also said that regular smoking is bad for your health. I asked them to bring you a hookah bag..."


    "What''s the smell of eating hookah bags..." Hong Lanfang looked at the servant with his head bowed and silent in front of him sadly: "I''ll replace you sooner or later. My sons don''t listen to me. Now even you don''t listen to me. It''s still best for Arsene. Arsene hasn''t come back."


    "Mother." Lin Xiaohe came in from the outside with a smile on his face and sat next to his mother: "Arsen is still busy. What can I do for him? What can he do for you?"


    Hong Lanfang turned his face and said, "you can''t. Arsene is busy. Ah Kang can also. Where''s ah Kang? Where''s ah Kang?"


    Lin Xiaohe gently grabbed his mother''s hand and held it in front of him: "ah Kang is also busy. You have so many sons, you only look for ah Sen and ah Kang? We are jealous."


    Seeing that his mother ignored him, Lin Xiaohe looked at Zheng Ruilian next to him. Zheng Ruilian smiled and patted Hong Lanfang on the back, like coaxing a child, and said, "elder sister, ah he said he was going to be jealous."


    "Ignore him, he and aze are the two of them all day, nagging in my ear to let me quit smoking." Hong Lanfang ignored Lin Xiaohe, but said to Zheng Ruilian with a pleasant face.


    Hong Lanfang is a young lady of a Chaozhou merchant''s family. She has been arrogant and tough all her life. Lin Xizhen was also a romantic figure when she was young. She had one wife and three concubines at home and several confidants in the Fengyue arena. All these women were picked up by Hong Lanfang.


    Now Zheng Ruilian is one of the most satisfied with her. Since Zheng Ruilian followed Lin Xizhen, she knows how to be humble in front of herself and won''t be spoiled. Lin Xiao, the eldest son of the Lin family, was born to Zheng Ruilian. After Zheng Ruilian got pregnant, she didn''t inform Lin Xizhen first, but found Hong Lanfang first and asked Hong Lanfang if she wanted to take the child away, After all, Hong Lanfang, the eldest wife of the Lin family, has no children, but she has children first as a concubine, which is easy to make the doctor''s heart angry.


    After Lin Xiaoze was born, Hong Lanfang took him to his own body to raise him. Zheng Ruilian was not reluctant at all. It was Zheng Ruilian''s clever attitude that made Hong Lanfang almost never have a bad relationship with Zheng Ruilian.


    After the death of her husband Lin Xizhen, two other concubines waited on her. Lin Yujing and Lin Xiaokang''s mother were expelled from the Lin family early. The other biological mother of Lin Xiaojie and Lin Xiaoda now lives in a small meditation room in the backyard of the mansion and doesn''t care about world and family affairs. It''s only Zheng Ruilian who has been with Hong Lanfang all these years, just like in those years.


    "Ahe, has the doctor examined all those drugs and supplements?" seeing that Hong Lanfang seems to have a childish temper with Lin Xiaohe, Zheng Ruilian can only ask Lin Xiaohe by herself.


    Lin Xiaohe also respected his aunt. After listening to each other''s questions, he said politely, "the doctor said it''s none of the drugs and supplements. In the final analysis, it''s her mother. She smokes too much, is too old, and her physical function is no better than before. The best way is to let her quit smoking."


    "No problem, elder sister. I''ll pour water for you. You can continue to take the tonic they bought for you." Zheng Ruilian said, slowly stood up and prepared to pour water for Hong Lanfang with the help of the servants.


    Hong Lanfang opened his mouth and said, "let the servants do this well. You have a rest earlier."


    "If it doesn''t matter, you scare them into soft hands and soft feet. I''m afraid they are afraid to overturn the water bottle." Zheng Ruilian said and walked out. Before going out, she turned her head and smiled at Lin Xiaohe, motioning for the other party to coax Hong Lanfang.


    After Zheng Ruilian left, Lin Xiaohe waved to the servants in the room and kicked them out. Then he said to his mother:


    "Five uncles and six uncles..."


    Hong Lanfang twisted her face and didn''t go to see her son, but her ears kept listening. At this time, when she heard Lin Xiaohe talking about Lin Xiyuan and Lin xishen, she faintly cut off Lin Xiaohe''s words:


    "I already know. That''s life. Let them avenge you, old bean. They refuse. They tell them that they can''t do a little well... Cough... Cough"


    "The second brother was very angry when he knew it." Lin Xiaohe smiled bitterly, patted his mother on the back, and waited until the other party''s cough stopped "Looking at the second brother''s expression, I can''t help thinking whether I did something wrong. It''s clear that the Lin family has an insider to report to each other, otherwise the fifth uncle won''t have a problem. Only we know this..."


    "Who do you think it is?" Hong Lanfang turned and looked at Lin Xiaohe. There was no previous dissatisfaction on her face. Her eyes were bright and did not see the old state.


    Lin Xiaohe shook his head gently: "I don''t know. I''ve arranged for someone to check it slowly. It will always be found out."


    "I shouldn''t have been soft hearted and gave them hope. Now that they have grown up, they have some different thoughts." Hong Lanfang said faintly and took a sip of ginseng tea.


    Outside, Zheng Ruilian came in with water and medicine and handed it to Hong Lanfang himself: "elder sister, it''s time to take medicine."
