An Lingge acted as if she did not notice An Lingxue's gaze, and continued to eat her meal quietly.
When the madame stopped eating, so did everyone else.
Seeing that the old mistress was brought back to the courtyard, Madam Li revealed a complacent and provocative smile towards the Madam Wang, then brought his own servant girl to take care of the matters in the residence.
An Lingge walked out as usual, when she suddenly heard Madam Wang calling from behind him.
"Is Little Ge free today? There are a few things Aunt would like to ask you. "
An Lingge turned her head, pursed her lips into a smile, her docile and gentle appearance was extremely harmless, "If there is anything that Second Aunt knows, Little Ge will definitely tell me everything."
"It's not convenient to talk here. Come, come with aunty."
Madam Wang brought An Lingge to his own courtyard, and carefully pushed away the servants by his side. Their gazes all landed on Bi Zhu who was behind An Lingge.
Bi Zhu retreated, leaving only two people in the room.
Madam Wang pulled An Lingge to sit beside him, "Yesterday, I sought you out to ask you about the warehouse, do you still remember?"
"Of course I remember." "In all of these years, there hasn't been a single case of theft from the Prince An's Palace. However, the moment yesterday's aunt took over the warehouse, the warehouse was immediately robbed, as if someone was causing trouble for Aunt."
Wasn't someone causing trouble for her?
Madam Wang snorted in her heart, feeling even more disgusted with Madam Li.
She smiled on the surface, but her real thoughts could not be seen, "Aunt also felt that this was too much of a coincidence, so I asked you about the movements of Madam Li's maidservants yesterday."
"Originally, I had already gotten evidence that Hong Ying stole the property of the mansion, but who would have known that it was actually done by the Madam Li, waiting for me to jump in."
An Lingge revealed a surprised expression, "Why does Aunt want to frame Aunt?"
"She was afraid that I would take power from her." Madam Wang did not treat An Lingge as an ignorant junior to be fooled, she urgently needed an alliance to bring down Madam Li.
"You also know that the Madam Li used the treasury's contents to take them for herself. The Old Madam, for the sake of the Duke Palaces, naturally cannot let her take care of the treasury any longer, so this matter fell upon me."
Madam Wang had described the matter of him intentionally seizing power as something like him accepting orders in the face of danger, to the point where he was unable to see through all of the sinister intentions.
Although An Lingge knew what she was thinking, she did not point it out, and still listened to the narration of the Madam Wang.
But who would have thought that Madam Li would be so treacherous. She sent people to steal the property of the manor on the first day just to frame me, and when I was sending people to search for thieves, she made a fake loot out. She cried in front of the old lady to accuse herself of being wronged, which actually made me into an evil person.
An Lingge cried out in alarm, she could not believe her ears, "So the matter of the warehouse theft was caused by Aunt?"
Madam Wang sighed, and looked at him as if she was cherishing his own daughter, "Foolish child, do you think that Madam Li is a good person? She should have learnt how to handle the affairs of the concubines at this time. However, that Madam Li has a firm grasp on the back of her house, and doesn't allow you to interfere in it at all. If you marry into the Prince Mu’s Palace and yet don't do anything, wouldn't others look down on you and bully you? "
An Lingge blinked, and then acted as if she suddenly understood, "But Aunt said it's for my own good."
"For your own good, really for your own good, would you take your mother's jewellery? and even gave it to the madame, it's not that it's scalding! "
Madam Wang snorted out from his nose. He didn't conceal his disgust and contempt for the Madam Li in front of An Lingge.
"She wants to cripple you so that she can make way for her precious daughter."
Madam Wang meaningfully patted An Lingge's hand, as if she was a benevolent senior teaching her, "Little Ge, you should know that although Madam Li is an aunt, she can still be considered as your half stepmother. How sincere can this stepmother be to you? Aunt is different. Aunt only has her son, and seeing you is like seeing her own daughter. Aunt is truly treating you sincerely. "
An Lingge did not mind if she was not sincere. In her previous life, the battle between Madam Li and Madam Wang was extremely fierce. At that time, she was forced by An Lingyi and her mother to wholeheartedly help them, causing her Madam Wang to be defeated in the fight for power.
Now was the perfect time to borrow the power of Madam Wang to suppress the Madam Li.
Since Madam Wang wanted to obtain information from her, wouldn't she want to borrow the power network of Madam Wang?
An Lingge nodded as if she understood something, "Little Ge knows, Aunt really dotes on me, otherwise she wouldn't have told me this."
Her tone was too sincere and sincere, causing Madam Wang to unconsciously curve the corner of his mouth.
This is right, the Madam Li has taken over your mother's things, and has even wanted to cripple you. Such a scheming person should be removed as soon as possible, if you know what worries Madam Li, you should tell Aunt as soon as possible.
Her Madam Wang was half deceived, and she was not aware that she was following An Lingge's thoughts.
Just as she said that, An Lingge bit her lips, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated, as though she was hesitating.
Madam Wang was staring intently at An Lingge's expression, and immediately he knew that An Lingge had something he wanted to say.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Auntie won't harm you."
After a round of sky-high battles, An Lingge finally opened her mouth and said, "A few days ago, when Grandmother and Aunt were still not back yet, something did happen."
She told him about the matter at the Prince Yi’s Palace. The more she listened, the brighter her eyes shone.
Didn't the Madam Li obstruct her so that she wouldn't be able to establish her dignity?
If she used a trick to marry An Lingyi to the Prince Yi’s Palace, she wouldn't just ruthlessly tear off a piece of meat from Madam Li's heart.
At that time, the Madam Li would be in a hurry, how would she have the mind to compete with herself for power.
Madam Wang pulled An Lingge and asked about An Lingyi's matters, but when they heard that An Lingyi had let the poisonous snakes bite An Lingge, they immediately asked him out of concern, and even gave him many medicinal ingredients to nourish her body, allowing him to be sent back home.
When An Lingge walked away, a sinister smile appeared on Madam Wang's face. His nails that had been dyed with the red Insect Pellet closed into his palms, as if he was holding something in his hands.
She invited the maidservants in and told them her plans in detail. "Send a message to the Princess Yi and tell them …"
Recently, Princess Yi had been feeling depressed because of Yi Ming, she just could not understand why her precious son would fall for that dissolute woman, but that Madam Li did not know what was good for her, even when she went to propose marriage, she still dared to reject!
Seeing that Yi Ming was crying in front of him and insisted on marrying An Lingyi, the Princess Yi got someone to bring Yi Ming back depressingly, and immediately sent someone to report it. The Second Madam sent someone to deliver the news.
"Send him away!"
When the Princess Yi heard the three words' Prince An's Palace ', she became annoyed. The servant turned around and left, but the Princess Yi changed her mind, "Forget it, bring the person in. I want to see what message the Second Madam is going to pass to me."
