Legitimate Daughter: Encounter Devil Prince - C179

Ever since An Lingge had been reborn, and having clearly seen the true faces of the Aunt Li and An Lingyi, and made their schemes fail time and time again, An Lingyi no longer hid anything in front of An Lingge, clearly displaying her disgust towards him.

Now that she had uncharacteristically come to An Lingge’s courtyard, and was even so concerned about An Lingge’s wedding gift, there was unavoidably something fishy going on.

The corner of An Lingge’s mouth curled up slightly, and she seemed to have a smile on her face, but her pair of eyes that were as deep as a dark well filled with coldness, without the slightest hint of warmth.

“Grandmother wants to celebrate her birthday. It’s a big event in the family, so I ordered someone to prepare a wedding present early, but no matter how I thought about it, I couldn’t find anything suitable. Does Third Sister have any good intentions?”

An Lingyi’s exquisite face revealed a hint of surprise, she seemed to be exceptionally surprised as she softly exclaimed, “Grandmother’s birthday is coming up, big sister hasn’t even finished preparing her wedding present?”

The corner of her mouth curled up as a trace of disdain flashed across her large almond eyes. “I’ve seen how big sister treated grandmother with so much care, but I can’t believe she doesn’t even care about such a big matter. I’ve misjudged big sister.”

“You’ve always been wrong about a lot of things.” An Lingyi’s sarcasm was neither soft nor strong, but his words caused the light smile on An Lingyi’s face to freeze, and her expression became even uglier than if she had eaten a housefly.

A trace of anger surfaced in her eyes as she spoke with a hint of reproach, “Big sister, your words are too much. I’m only discussing the matter, why do you have to talk to me like that?”

An Lingge raised her eyebrows slightly, a trace of doubt flashed past her eyes. “Third Sister is young, you have seen very few things, so you can’t see things as clearly as others can, is there something wrong with what I said?”

This damned An Lingge!

The trap in An Lingyi’s words were once again avoided by her, and secretly said that she had never seen the world, and that she could only say these words because she was the direct descendant?

She fiercely shook hands and suppressed the anger in her heart. She tried her best to show a look of understanding on her face, “So I misunderstood Big Sis. But is Big Sis’s wedding present for Grandmother really not ready?”

“It’s already being prepared, but I’m just not satisfied with a lot of things.” An Lingge would not listen to her words, there were only a few days until the old lady’s birthday. If she were to nod her head and say yes, it was likely that news of her not preparing the old lady’s wedding gift would spread across the entire Duke’s Mansion.

At that time, forget about how the madame would think of her, just with so many servants in the palace, each one of them would scold her for being unfilial, which would be enough to make her feel uncomfortable.

She was so cautious that even the tiniest trap she could speak of could not affect her. An Lingyi could not help but feel anxious.

Her personality was already arrogant, how could it compare to An Lingge’s calm personality?

Only then did An Lingyi remember her purpose for coming here. She glanced at Lan Xin who was on the ground, and pretended to inadvertently mention, “I wonder what mistake this servant girl has committed, big sister made her kneel on the ground for so long?”

An Lingge followed her gaze, and acted as if she had seen something, “Oh, this servant took the clothes that Heaven’s Clothing Workshop had sent over and sold them, then brought a few inferior quality clothes to replace the pillar with the pillar, I found her, and was reprimanding her a few times. Originally, I wanted to punish her with three months of silver and send her out. When Third Sister came, I had actually forgotten about her. ”

So after Lan Xin kneeled on the ground for so long, did she blame herself?

An Lingyi’s pure white face flushed red from anger. She wanted to say something to reprimand An Lingge, but she could not find a reason no matter what.

She took a deep breath, trying her best to make the expression on her face seem friendly and natural. “This maidservant has committed a great sin. Big Sister just forgave her like that. Aren’t you afraid that the servants in the courtyard are learning from her?”

“She did make a mistake, but that was only for her mother’s sake. In the end, it is still within reason, so I punished her for three months. “Although it’s not really a severe punishment, it won’t make others feel that I’m kind and soft-hearted, and will not even punish the maidservants in my own courtyard for committing mistakes.”

An Lingge beamed, and from the surface, it was impossible to tell that she was thinking about it, as if she was really thinking this way.

Just as Lan Xin was about to kowtow and thank her, she heard An Lingge continue, “However, I will also send people to investigate this matter. If her mother is really sick, I will not pursue this matter.

She did not finish what she wanted to say, but just that sentence caused Lan Xin to shudder, and immediately expressed her loyalty, “Eldest Miss, your servant’s mother is really sick, and I still can’t get up from my bed.”

“Since she’s so sick, I’ll let you rest for a few days. Go back and take good care of her, and when your mother recovers, we’ll return to my courtyard to wait upon her.” An Lingge looked at Lan Xin with her clear and deep eyes. That clear and penetrating gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the heart and see the deepest and darkest corner of a person’s heart.

Lan Xin was startled, she subconsciously lowered her head to avoid An Lingge’s gaze, and only then did her beating heart calm down a little, “Eldest Miss only punished me with three months of silver, this is already equivalent to giving me a favour. How can I let Miss specially travel to give me a few days’ rest time?”

An Lingyi also opened her mouth, but she did not have the intention to plead for Lan Xin, “I originally thought that this servant did not do well, and did not satisfy big sister, which was why I caused her to kneel on the ground, and she actually secretly sold big sister’s clothes! This maid has done such a grave mistake and should have been punished severely long ago. Why does Big Sis need to think for her? ”

The two of them were singing along with each other, which made An Lingge a little suspicious.

Lan Xin had obviously been bribed, and she was also ordered to change her clothes into these inferior clothes.

But why did An Lingyi do that?

Originally, she was not willing to let Lan Xin go and punish her, and had even scolded her for being strict with her servants. But when she said that Lan Xin would return and rest for a few days, why did An Lingyi’s attitude change so abruptly?

A ball of doubt lingered in An Lingge’s heart, but she did not reveal it when facing An Lingyi. Her rosy red lips curled up, and a profound look appeared on her face, “According to Third Sister’s words, what should we do with this servant girl?”

She didn’t know what An Lingyi’s goal was, so she gave this opportunity to An Lingyi.

An Lingyi naturally did not know what she was thinking in her heart. Hearing An Lingge’s question, An Lingyi’s eyes flashed with a dark light, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared.
