An Lingyi swept her gaze across the ladies and ladies around, her face instantly turning as pale as paper.

The disgust and disdain in their eyes were extremely obvious, as though they were looking at some filthy thing. That gaze caused An Lingyi's heart to turn cold.

"I was talking nonsense just now. How could I let my maidservants bite my sister?" She tried her best to lie, and used a threatening gaze to look at An Lingge, "Big sister, we sisters have always been good friends, why don't you explain to them, I definitely won't hurt you!"

The damned An Lingge had pulled her to this hall to prove her innocence, yet she made such a mistake. If she were to return to Prince An's Palace, she would definitely tell her aunt to take care of this bitch.

An Lingge flinched as if she was afraid, and said hesitantly: "It must be Little Sister Yi Er joking, please do not misunderstand, Little Sister Yi Er has always been kind and gentle, and would never do anything to harm Big Sister."

In the eyes of others, her appearance already gave rise to a contest in their hearts.

When the princess heard about Prince An's Palace, she passed away early, leaving behind only her young children. However, the little Hereditary Prince of Prince An's Palace was brought into the palace by the emperor to read for the prince, leaving behind the big miss of Prince An's Palace who was all alone, who grew up in front of his concubine.

In the past, he had even heard that the concubine was very generous and dignified, treating her as if she were his own daughter. Today, after seeing this young mistress' behavior, he knew that these rumors were untrustworthy.

Most of the people had concubines and daughters, so they naturally knew that water and fire were incompatible. Upon hearing this, they could only smile, but did not say much.

Only the Mrs. Mingzhu looked at An Lingge pitifully, "Good child, you are so magnanimous and benevolent, paying with your good grudges. Aren't you afraid that others will harm you?"

To be forgiving and magnanimous, to repay a grievance with virtue?

An Lingge laughed, the corners of her mouth expressing her ridicule.

She was not such a person. All she knew was that one could return a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.

She had already ordered Bi Zhu to buy a poisonous snake to knock him out and also scattered some poison powder on him to attract the attention of the poisonous snakes. As a result, all of them were safe and sound, only when stimulated by the poison powder would the poisonous snake wake up and bite An Lingyi violently.

"Madam, don't worry. Ling Ge believes that good will always be rewarded, and evil will always be rewarded. Even the person who had the evil thought and wanted to frame Ling Ge will definitely suffer."

Look, An Lingyi dared to let go of the snake to bite her, and she even tricked An Lingyi into getting bitten, and even took the chance to expose her real identity, killing two birds with one stone.

The Mrs. Mingzhu nodded and without another word, she led her nanny out.

Seeing her leave, the other ladies and mistresses also left. In that instant, the entire hall became silent.

"After Sister Yi Er was bitten by a snake, even if she consumed an antidote pill, she would have to see a doctor." An Lingge looked at An Lingyi with concern, her gaze turned towards the door of the hall. "Coincidentally, Imperial Physician Zhang came by, if Little Sister Yi Er didn't look at her body, would it be alright?"

An Lingyi had originally wanted to reject her offer, but after considering her own body, she looked towards the main hall's entrance and said, "I'll have to trouble Imperial Physician Zhang."

Imperial Physician Zhang was in his forties, and he had a moustache on his face. He looked strict and old-fashioned.

Upon hearing these words, he knew that these two were the daughters of the Prince An's Palace.

After checking An Lingyi's pulse, Imperial Physician Zhang frowned, puzzled. "Prince An said that the two of you seem to have smallpox, but from what I see, there's a huge difference between this and smallpox."

He stared at An Lingyi's face for a long time, and said: "It must be allergic, and coincidentally caught a cold, so I look like I have smallpox."

An Lingyi heaved a sigh of relief, "I already said it's definitely not smallpox, I'll go back to the Duke's Mansion right now."

"Miss, please wait." Imperial Physician Zhang hastened to call out to her. "Although young miss hasn't caught smallpox, the chill's not over yet, and she's also infected with the venom of a snake. This is precisely the time for her to lose her health, if she doesn't stay in the temple for a moment, send a servant back to spread the news."

His words were sincere and sincere. An Lingyi thought for a while, then decided to chase her out without letting her refute him. If she were to return just like that, wouldn't her suffering have been for nothing?

He might as well send someone to relay a message to his father, asking him to come personally and bring him back to the residence. He could still take this opportunity to cry and complain about his grievances, it was all because of An Lingge's urging, and that's why he suffered such an unexpected calamity.

After thinking about it, An Lingyi was no longer in a hurry to return. "Let's do it like this, Bai Yu, go find someone to pass this information to father, tell father to come and fetch me tomorrow."

Bai Yu was the servant who had been slapped by An Lingyi. Upon hearing her master's orders, she immediately agreed. A trace of anger flashed past her lowered eyes.

"Imperial Physician Zhang, I've never contracted smallpox. I wonder how is elder sister's condition?"

An Lingyi gloated as she looked at An Lingge's face which was covered by the light muslin.

An Lingge, that slut, would definitely not be able to live for long after getting smallpox. In that case, without the help of the young miss, it would naturally be her second young miss who would marry the Hereditary Prince of Prince Mu’s Palace.

But Imperial Physician Zhang still shook his head. "Eldest Miss didn't get smallpox. However, Eldest Miss should have been physically and mentally exhausted recently, making her pulse weak and weak."

An Lingyi lowered her eyes in disappointment. She could not even maintain her politeness on the surface and turned to leave the hall without saying a word.

Bi Zhu put down the box and took out a silver note from her bosom, smiling as she stuffed it into Imperial Physician Zhang's hands. "I'll have to trouble Imperial Physician Zhang with today's matters."

Not only had Miss made her prepare a poisonous snake to wait for An Lingyi to jump into the trap, she had also bribed someone to bribe Imperial Physician Zhang in order to keep Second Young Miss in the Qing Yun Temple.

As for why Miss wanted to do this, Bi Zhu was not the least bit curious. Her life was given to her by Madam and Miss, she would do whatever Miss wanted her to do.

The day passed quickly, and night gradually covered the land.

An Lingyi sat in her own room with an angry expression.

Not only had she been bitten by a snake during the day, but those madams and mistresses had also heard his words. His hard-earned reputation had been ruined just like that.

It just so happened that bitch An Lingge was lucky enough that she didn't get bitten to death by a snake or get infected by smallpox, as if someone was helping her.

The expression in An Lingyi's eyes became more and more dark. After thinking for a while, she finally thought of a good idea.

"Bai Yu."

She called out to him, and Bai Yu immediately walked in, "What orders do you have, Miss?"

"Go find a few people, and …" I don't believe that that slut An Lingge will still be able to dodge it so lucky this time! "

Her gloomy expression looked somewhat sinister under the candlelight. Bai Yu covered the mockery in her heart and respectfully answered yes before turning around and walking out of the room.
