There were a total of four floors. The first floor was where the merchants ate and drank, the storytellers were all on the first floor, the second floor was where the rich chose to stay, and the third and fourth floors were where the officials and their families stayed.
An Lingyi had been grounded for half a month, and the time limit was almost up.
An Lingge quickly calmed her emotions and calmly sat by the window.
People walked past him on the street, the bustling crowd had different expressions. An Lingge did not want to think that if she lived like a normal person, maybe she would also be blessed.
Just as she was thinking about it, Bi Zhu pushed open the door and entered. With a look of admiration, she said: "Miss, that person was really guest like Yun Che, and coincidentally is right next door to us."
Hearing that, An Lingge could not help but laugh.
"And second brother told me one more thing."
Bi Zhu said, then moved the mountain and river painting away, revealing a hole the size of her fingertip.
An Lingge raised her eyebrows, the meaning of her inquiry was self-evident.
Bi Zhu covered her mouth and laughed: "Second brother said that once, when General Mu was having a feast next door, the Prime Minister's daughter insisted on letting him dig a hole."
The hole was not big, but it was clear enough for him to see the room next door. An Lingyi was sitting at a seat near the window, drinking wine one cup at a time.
The two of them had piled up a lot of good stuff around them, so it could be seen that they had not been out for long.
"Alright, you drank it like that, is it to show me the truth?"
Second Aunt pulled An Lingyi's hand and said: "Isn't it just being grounded for half a month, did it hurt your tendons or did I just break your bones?"
An Lingyi furiously retorted, "Mother, are I your biological son or not? That night, when father was angry, you didn't say a word for me? Are you still my mother? You clearly know that I like Mu Junhan, but you don't even care about me … "
The Second Aunt kept patting An Lingyi on her back, saying gently, "My daughter, don't be anxious. This half moon has already thought of a good idea."
Hearing that, An Lingyi stopped crying, and raised her head to look at Second Aunt.
A trace of color flashed across her extremely well-maintained face. She gently caressed the top of An Lingyi's head, and said gently: "Remember, Mother will always think of you …"
The more she spoke, the softer her voice became, until it was almost inaudible.
Bi Zhu stomped her feet in panic and turned to ask An Lingge what she was going to do.
An Lingge thought for a while, then shook her head and sat down. Since the waiter had ordered wine and food, Bi Zhu could only give up.
After eating their fill, An Lingge brought the two of them to purchase quite a few medicinal ingredients, pulled out two new sets of clothes for Lu Jingyu and the others, and bought a new set of clothes for them before returning to their Prince An's Palace.
Along the way, the master and servant did not speak a word. An Lingge kept her head bowed all the way, with a seemingly expressionless face.
Being harassed by Mu Junhan like this also made An Lingge recall that in her previous life, it seemed like only a few days had passed since the arrival of Prince Mu’s Palace s.
It was just that in her previous life, she was weak and had her Parasol House locked up by the Madam Li and could not see Mu Junhan at all.
With this, An Lingge once again thought about Madam Li and her daughter's actions today, and her heart suddenly cleared up.
How could she not know what the Madam Li had in mind?
After thinking about it, An Lingge stood up and took out two pieces of high-quality golden silk moonlight yarn from the cupboard, and said gently: "Bi Zhu, bring these two ingredients to Aunt in a while, say it …"
"Miss, they hurt you like that, why did you give them such precious materials?"
Before Bi Zhu could finish her sentence, An Lingge took out a porcelain bottle from the drawer. The light green powder was scattered all over the materials in the bottle, and the moment the powder came in contact with the cloth, it would disappear without a trace.
Bi Zhu laughed as she saw this, and happily carried the ingredients to Madam Li's courtyard. Coincidentally, An Yingcheng was also in Madam Li's room, and seeing An Lingge being so obedient, she gave her money to go out and buy them while thinking of her.
Madam Li's face turned ugly, but seeing that this material was actually the capital's most expensive moonlight yarn, and it was even wrapped in gold, he left it behind.
At the same time, within the Prince Mu’s Palace, Mu Junhan sat on a chair in the study, and looked at the information that his subordinate had gathered for him, causing Blue Valley to reveal an expression of suspicion from time to time. In the end, his gaze landed on the washed silk handkerchief on the table, and didn't say anything for a long time.
After a few days of recuperation, his injuries had already healed quite a bit, but that day's experience at the place like the clouds still made it hard for him to forget. Thus, when he asked for An Lingge's identity, he was unable to sit still.
Putting aside that An Lingge was informed about the matter of her injuries at the guest Ruyun, he realized that the Emperor had bestowed him with marriage with the An family a few days ago. An Lingge was the young lady of the An family, and the person who saved him at the guest Ruyun was her future wife?
"Interesting!" Mu Junhan threw the intelligence report to the side. This information told him how weak and powerless An Lingge was, that he did not have any status in the An clan. However, that day, from what he saw in the guesthouse, Mu Junhan felt that this woman was definitely not someone to be trifled with. She was purposely hiding it for over ten years?
It would be interesting to have such deep thoughts!
Thinking of what happened that day, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. Swallowing his saliva, he touched his old wound with lingering fear. That day would definitely be the most unforgettable day for him …
"Shu Mo, follow me to see father. The marriage between me and the young miss of the An clan should be set soon …" Mu Junhan looked at the silk handkerchief on the table and made a decision in his heart.
Three days later, Prince An's Palace front yard main hall.
Today, the best jade carvings had been placed on a screen, the most exquisite Jingdezhen gold and blue porcelain bowls had been used, and the most beautiful clothes had been arranged for the most ordinary maids.
As for Second Aunt and An Lingyi, they were dressed in makeup, had bright jade curtains, and a mist of precious colors.
Just after Yin hour, the butler hurriedly ran into the Duke Palace. "Master, you're here, Prince Mu is here."
As An Lingyi and Madam Li were speaking, An Yingcheng frowned and lowered her voice, "Why hasn't Ling Ge arrived yet?"
Second Aunt heard and then said: "Look at me, I've been so busy that I forgot about this matter. Little Ge said that she is not feeling well, so I'm afraid that she will not be able to make it here today."
The Second Aunt's words were spoken calmly, but An Yingcheng snorted coldly: "She's got a lot to do!"
As expected, An Lingyi did not pursue the matter any further, and could not help but give Second Aunt a big thumbs up. They did not tell An Lingge about what happened today, and even did not allow anyone to tell her about it.
The mother and daughter exchanged glances.
Mu Junhan followed behind Prince Mu and looked around the hall. He frowned: "Why is she not here?"
After he finished speaking, he dismounted and was passionately invited by An Yingcheng's group into the Prince An's Palace. After he turned around, he pulled Shu Mo who was beside him and whispered something into his ear. Shu Mo nodded and in a flash, he disappeared from the group.
In the Parasol House, An Lingge was reading a book leisurely. Bi Zhu, who was at the side, was sweeping the place clean, making loud noises from time to time.
An Lingge could not help but put down the book: "Did you eat gunpowder today?"
