An Lingge nodded her head, "Little Ge had indeed prepared a gift for Grandmother this morning, which was why she came a little late. But Aunt did not believe Little Ge's words, so Little Ge had no choice. "

An Lingge turned the tables on her with just a few words. With just a few words, she had described a pure and filial daughter who was not understood by an aunt.

The old lady nodded, her expression becoming slightly better, and unintentionally mentioned another sentence, "Little Ge actually prepared a gift for Grandmother? Bring it out for Grandmother to see what it is. "

She seemed to believe An Lingge's words, but in reality, she still wanted to figure it out herself.

If An Lingge could take out a gift, it would naturally be An Lingge telling the truth. Madam Li, this aunt who had given the first-rate daughter an eyedrop, was narrow-minded, purposely provoking the relationship between their ancestors and grandchildren.

Similarly, if An Lingge could not take out the gift, it would be a lie. The Madam Li wanted to teach her, but she did not appreciate it and placed the Madam Li in a dilemma.

In the end, whoever was loyal to the traitor, could be seen with An Lingge taking out her present or not.

Madam Li had been immersed in the harem for so many years, how could she not understand the madame's meaning? She looked at An Lingyi, and An Lingyi smirked, as if she was taking pleasure in her misfortune.

An Lingge seemed to be unable to sense the old lady's deeper meaning, she turned and looked at Bi Zhu, and instructed softly, "Bi Zhu, bring that thing over here."

Bi Zhu agreed and walked over with a box.

Looking at the situation, could it be that An Lingge had really prepared a gift for the old lady?

Madam Li and An Lingyi looked at each other, staring straight at An Lingge.

Bi Zhu then walked in front of the old lady respectfully and opened the box in her hands.

"Madam, please have a look. This is the white jade image of Guan Yin that Miss brought me to pick out yesterday. I don't know if you like it or not."

Inside the box lay a piece of warm jade. Although it was not a top-grade jade, it could be seen that it was made from high-quality jade.

The suspicion in the old mistress' eyes dissipated, and the smile on her face grew even more affectionate. "You child, you don't have much savings to begin with. Why don't you prepare some gifts for Grandmother?"

Although she said so, the smile in her eyes showed that the madame was in a good mood.

An Lingge lowered her eyes, she was obedient and gentle, her voice clear and bright, "Little Ge was not able to be filial in front of Grandmother, and is already very uneasy. Now that Grandmother has finally returned to the capital, how can Little Ge not even prepare a present?"

"Although this Kuan Yin Statue is not worth much money, it is Little Ge's kind intentions. I hope Grandmother does not mind."

"If you don't mind, if you don't mind, how could Grandmother hate him? This is a thought from Little Ge. "

The Old Mistress laughed and told the nanny to keep the portrait.

She glanced at the mother and daughter duo of Madam Li, then reached out to pat the back of An Lingge's hand, "With a heart like this, grandmother is already very happy, how can you be like some people who obviously don't care, and still malicious guess at the people who are loyal to their parents."

Being accused by the old lady of being disloyal and unfilial, a look of reverence flashed across Madam Li's eyes, but he still maintained a smile on his face. "The old lady said that if I wasn't busy managing the Duke's Mansion, I would definitely prepare a gift for her."

"You make it sound like I'm greedy for your items." The madame snorted. With her status, she really did not think much of gifts.

The atmosphere instantly froze. An Lingyi received Madam Li's gaze and quickly stood out.

"Grandmother, Yi Er also prepared a gift for you." She smiled obediently, her face full of flattery.

The old mistress was rather cold. "Oh?" "Then take it and have a look."

nanny who was standing behind An Lingyi immediately went forward, took out a bracelet made from red coral and held it in front of the old lady.

If it wasn't for Second Miss who, when she was dressing up this morning, despised this old red coral style and took down her bracelet, she would not have been able to take out a present at this time.

nanny was rejoicing in her heart, but when she looked at the red coral for a moment, her expression immediately darkened, as if there was water flowing out of it.

"Is this a gift from you?"

Her tone was filled with anger, but An Lingyi did not notice it. She thought that the old lady wanted to praise him like she was praising An Lingge.

Thinking about that, An Lingyi nodded her head, "This red coral was delivered from the Mo Bei, it is the best among all coral, it is the most suitable for the old lady, I had to look for it for a long time before finding one."

When Princess An married Yingcheng, I gave her this bracelet, and now that it is something you have painstakingly searched for, it is truly funny. "

"Forget about the mother and daughter pair how you two took over the Princess An's possessions, just because you lied to Grandmother, I can't let you go easily."

"Grandmother." An Lingyi cried out, feeling wronged: "There must be some kind of misunderstanding, although there aren't many red coral in the world, but there isn't only one either. How could you misunderstand my granddaughter's filial piety? "

When Madam Li heard the old lady's words, she felt a burst of fear, but hearing An Lingyi's words again, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

That red coral was indeed something that she dug out from the storehouse. Without asking, she knew that it was something that belonged to the Princess An, but that bracelet was really too beautiful, so she took it out.

Although An Lingyi did not know where this bracelet came from, she had a fast reaction speed. She would definitely not say anything else.

Who knew that the madame would remain unmoved, her expression no longer kind. She gave a cold laugh, her aged eyes glinting with a cold light. "Your filial piety?"

The madame pointed at the red coral, "Your filial piety is to give me the thing you stole?"

"Don't say that I wronged you. Look carefully and see if there was a crack on the coral. It was the crack caused by the bracelet on my wrist when Xiao'er fell down while accompanying me." After that, Xiao-er put it away in the warehouse and never brought it out again. "

An Lingyi looked down at the Red Coral Bracelet and sure enough, she saw an unremarkable crack on one of the beads.

The look of grievance on her face had yet to fade, and upon seeing this crack, she felt as if she had been slapped in the face.

Could it be that this red coral really belonged to the Princess An, and Aunt gave it to him?

An Lingyi's eyes were filled with shock and suspicion, and she looked at Madam Li with a questioning gaze.

Madam Li's face turned white, she could not bear to see An Lingyi in such a difficult situation, so she clenched her teeth and stood out, "Calm down, Madam. Yi Er is indeed very filial, she asked me to send someone to look for some treasures. At that time, I only thought that she had a child's vanity, so I casually took out this red coral from the storage room and lied to her that she found it with a lot of money."

"Yi Er doesn't know the answer to that. Old madam, please do not be angry."
