The old lady's expression did not improve at all when she heard Madam Li's words.

She sneered coldly, "Alright you Madam Li, it's fine that you don't put me in your eyes, but why are you making up such a lie to fool me?"

She said with a smile that was not really a smile, "Old madam, please don't blame Madam Li. She is just an aunt, so her ways of doing things are naturally less appropriate than Princess An's. As for Yi Er, who is following beside Madam Li, being affected by Mother, is also within expectations."

Although her words seemed to be for An Lingyi's sake, the truth was that she had pushed all the responsibility onto Madam Li.

Madam Wang naturally had a small plan in mind.

The Old Wang had a total of three sons and a daughter, but when the Old Wang Xian left, the throne would naturally fall to An Yingcheng, the eldest son.

As the concubine of the second house, she was naturally discontented, but she had long since followed the old lady, Second Master An Yinghao and the others back to the ancestral residence.

But now that she had returned to the capital, she would have to carefully consider how to wield power in such a vast palace.

If the original Princess An had not died, the Madam Wang would naturally not have had such thoughts.

But in the eyes of the Madam Wang, the Madam Li was just a small aunt. Even if the one she married was the Prince An, she would always be a head lower than the Madam Li.

With these thoughts of fighting for power, Madam Wang pointed directly at the other party's weak spot.

He didn't respect his elders and kept lying to them. He couldn't even teach his own daughter well. The madame would never be at ease if someone like this came to the throne.

Thinking this, Madam Wang quietly glanced at the old lady's face.

As expected, the old mistress' eyes flashed with a deep sense of meaning, and she looked towards Madam Li with even more dissatisfaction.

"Even his own daughter can't be taught well. Truly, things are wrong between the top and bottom."

These words caused Madam Li and An Lingyi's faces to turn pale. An Lingge had been raised cutely since she was young, and facing An Lingge, the direct daughter of her clan, she had always maintained her arrogance and arrogance.

He felt wronged and humiliated. His eyes reddened and large tears rolled down his cheeks.

"Aiyo, the old lady just returned home, why is a child like you still crying?"

Madam Wang stood up from his seat and walked to An Lingyi's side in a friendly manner. He held his handkerchief and wanted to wipe her tears.

"Scram!" Who needs you to be hypocritical? "

An Lingyi slapped away Madam Wang with his hand and looked at her with eyes filled with anger.

The aunt had already stopped the responsibility. If this woman hadn't intervened, why would the grandmother have even blamed her?

And to let that bitch An Lingge see her own joke!

An Lingyi pinched his own hand tightly, until the bones in his hand turned white, and her Madam Wang continued to increase.

"Truly shameless!" The old lady's fingers trembled, "Madam Li, is this how you teach the second young miss? To go against an elder like that, you must know your manners! "

An Yingcheng's happy face also darkened.

It was one thing for Madam Li and An Lingyi to not know how to empathize with their mother, but they actually gave their mother a hard time at this time.

He thought about what the old lady and the Madam Wang had said to Yi Er, about how obedient, smart, and obedient Yi Er was.

Thinking about it, An Yingcheng's face became as gloomy as water, "Madam Li, you contradicted mother and displeased Mother, so you will be grounded for three days, get down."

He did not even give the Madam Li a chance to speak and directly ordered them to withdraw. It was as if he did not want to see her and was extremely cold.

Madam Li turned to look at An Yingcheng in shock. She had been troubled by the Old Mistress and her Madam Wang, it was fine that An Yingcheng did not say anything to help her defend her.

She opened her mouth, wanting to defend herself. "Prince, I …"

"Forbidden when we go back."

An Yingcheng's face turned gloomy, the bored in his eyes caused Madam Li's heart to turn cold.

It was said that a man could live with his wife for a hundred days, but this was the kind of man she had been with for so many years.

Her lips moved for a moment before she finally nodded with a pale face. "Yes, I know my wrongs. I'll go back and forbid her from going anywhere. Please do not be angry with me."

An Lingyi looked on helplessly as his mother retreated, her gaze locked on to her.

Madam Li replied her with a gaze that made her feel at ease. An Lingyi bit her lips and kneeled down in front of the old lady, "Grandmother, I beg of you, please forgive me." The tear stains on her face had not dried yet, and her charming face looked sad. "The matter with the red coral is Yi Er's fault, I beg Grandmother to forgive the aunt, and free her from confinement."

An Lingyi, however, kneeled and walked two steps forward, "Today's matter, tens of thousands of mistakes, are all Yi Er's fault. If Grandmother wants to punish him, then punish Yi Er, Yi Er is willing to accept the punishment on behalf of Aunt."

The old mistress' unaccustomed expression of filial piety and courage eased the old mistress' mood a little.

Although An Lingyi had fooled her, she was not completely useless. At the very least, she was a loyal person who knew how to defend her aunt.

"Forget it, today is the first day that I'll return to my residence. It's a good day for my family to reunite, so I'll spare Madam Li this time."

The madame waved her hand. "Stand up too. Don't kneel on the floor."

"Thank you grandma, thank you grandma." An Lingyi immediately stood up straight, her face was full of both crying and laughing, looking innocent and unscheming.

This matter was cleared up just like that. Madam Li returned to her seat, and her eyes that had an unknown meaning wandered over Madam Wang.

Madam Wang smiled at her, the curve of his lips making the latter have a bad premonition.

Just as this thought appeared in her mind, Madam Wang spoke up, "Madam, although the matter today has already been settled, your daughter-in-law has one more thing to decide."

"Madam Li said it just now, that Red Coral Bracelet was taken from the warehouse by her, but it is after all Princess An's item, I'm afraid that it is not good for Madam Li to use it like this."

Madam Wang used the word "misappropriation", but in the old lady's ears, it was no different than occupation.

The old lady frowned, her voice sounding displeased, "Madam Li, tell me, why did you take over the Princess An's things?"

The Madam Li was furious at the trouble in the Second House, but she could not help but smile at the old lady, "I did not know that it was from the Princess An, and only randomly found something to send Yi Er away, which is why this matter came to light."
