Legitimate Daughter: Encounter Devil Prince - C172
Seeing An Yingcheng standing there in shock, Aunt Li was panicking in her heart.
However, when she recalled the words she had prepared beforehand, her beautiful face showed a bit of grievance.
“I was in the wrong yesterday, I shouldn’t have let a Daoist who doesn’t know the ins and outs enter the mansion, and almost ruined Eldest Miss’s reputation. However, everything is made clear in the end. I will obediently accept the madame’s slap, and I even spent 4 to 5 hours in front of her courtyard. Aunt Wei, are you still not satisfied? ”
She refused to admit that she bribed that Taoist, and put on a look of Aunt Wei trying to bully her.
Aunt Wei was so angry that she laughed coldly, “If you had only invited a scammer into the palace, why would the old mistress be so angry?”
“The Old Madam has always been kind and compassionate. She would turn a blind eye to small mistakes and let them pass if they could. But Aunt Li, what you have done is too much! “You spent money to invite that swindler Taoist into the house, saying that the young mistress had the fate of a heavenly calamity, and then cursed the old lady’s desolation in her later years. How could the old lady not care about such malicious intentions?”
When An Yingcheng heard about this from the Aunt Li yesterday, he only heard that she had invited a Spirit Dao cultivator to the palace to take a look at Feng Shui, but who knew that the Spirit Dao cultivator was a swindler who was deceived by An Lingge, and was revealed in the end?
At that time, An Yingcheng felt that the Old Mistress had gone overboard. It was wrong for Aunt Li to not know her place, but it wasn’t right for her to slap her face in front of her servants, making her lose all her dignity.
But from what Aunt Wei said, that Taoist was originally bought by the Aunt Li?
He had some doubts in his heart, and the gaze he used to look at Aunt Li carried some other meaning.
However, Aunt Li had been by his side for so many years, yet Aunt Wei had just come out of the side yard. The two of them did not get together, so the position in his heart was different after all.
“What is it?”
His brows were twisted together as his two concubines argued in front of the madame. No matter how one looked at it, it looked like his harem was in disarray.
His watery eyes locked onto An Yingcheng’s face, “I already told the prince yesterday that I didn’t bribe that Taoist, I only invited him to the palace to take a look at Feng Shui. Who would have thought that the Eldest Miss would expose his real face, and that he would actually bite onto my body?”
An Lingyi was not present yesterday, but she and Aunt Li had discussed this matter. Even when An Lingge appeared at the old lady’s courtyard, she was the one who led the people there.
However, facing An Yingcheng’s questioning, she naturally had to speak up for his mother.
“Father, don’t you know what kind of person Aunt is? She has worked for the Duke’s Palace for so many years, yet she has never complained about a single word of suffering or tiredness. She has treated her servants with kindness and benevolence, so how could she bribe a Daoist Priest to slander her big sister’s reputation? ”
An Lingyi started a lie with a straight face, as if what she said was the truth, as if Aunt Li’s schemes towards An Lingge never existed.
Seeing that she had such thick skin, An Lingge couldn’t help but laugh. That laughter contained a little ridicule that made An Lingyi angry and she glared fiercely back at her.
“Third Sister, I know that you are doing this for the good of Aunt Li, so I am afraid that you will be wronged. After all, it’s impossible for one of us to bribe the Taoist and let him come first to slander me, then wait for me to expose him before we go and bite Aunt Li, right? ”
Unless An Lingge and the Daoist Priest colluded and set up such a trap to harm Aunt Li, no one could.
An Lingyi rolled her eyes, “What if Big Sis and you have colluded with the Daoist Priest? Otherwise, where did you learn the Wind and Water Technique? How could you expose that Daoist Priest’s true appearance! ”
This was the only suspicious aspect of this matter that An Lingge was tightly grabbing onto, wanting to push this matter onto her shoulders.
The smile on An Lingge’s face became even gentler, but the ridicule in her eyes made An Lingyi feel that in his eyes, she was just a clown.
“Third Sister, you were raised by your father and aunt since you were young. Naturally, it was them who told you to learn anything. But I’m different, I don’t have my parents to teach me, so I just randomly learned some things from a book. I feel that it’s interesting so I might as well learn more.
Her pair of black, bright eyes were bottomless, and the curve of her lips seemed gentle yet carried an indescribable chill.
“If that’s the case, then I know medical skills, and I was the one who nearly caused a loss in Second Aunt. When I met bandits two days ago, I also bribed them. I would rather let the Junge lose his life, so the Third Sister would have to protect my father well?”
Hearing her mention him, Madam Wang began to laugh out loud, “Little Ge saved Second Aunt’s life, why would she harm me on purpose?”
At this time, she was speaking up for An Lingge because she was hinting to him that the matter of the Heavenly Demon Lonely Star was something that the Aunt Li did in the first place.
Seeing one or two of them criticizing the Aunt Li, An Yingcheng only felt a faint pain in his forehead.
From the bottom of his heart, he believed that the Aunt Li was a person who had slept beside her for many years. However, facing the accusations from so many people, he did not know how to defend her.
The Aunt Li suddenly bit her lips, and looked at An Yingcheng with sorrow in her eyes: “My prince, the Old madam said that I did wrong, and I did wrong. You can trust me, I am already very satisfied, so you don’t have to do so much for me anymore.”
His words were similar to yesterday’s, causing An Yingcheng to recall his promise to the Aunt Li.
His wavering heart steeled, as he looked at Old Madem Xiang, “Mother, even if Aunt Li was wrong in doing this, you have already punished her. As for the authority over the family, just leave it to her. If she makes a mistake again next time, your son will not hesitate to tell you how to deal with her. ”
The old lady was so angry that she couldn’t speak, but the Duke Palace is An Yingcheng’s Duke Palace, he is the legitimate Duke. She can’t stop whoever An Yingcheng wants to be in charge.
“Forget it, this is your royal palace. As an old woman, I shouldn’t interfere!”
After she finished speaking, she stood up and left. An Yingcheng knew that he had made her unhappy, so he quickly went over to say some good words.
The rest of the people also immediately advised the old lady not to be angry, only the Aunt Li was at the back, and exchanged a pleased look with An Lingyi.
So what if the madame hated her? The surname of the Prince’s Mansion was An. As long as she possessed the Prince’s heart, the Prince would always be her support. No matter how honorable the madame was, she could not take away the power in her hands.
She would definitely not take another blow after taking a loss once.
