Furthermore, An Lingge had shocked everyone at the Spring Festival that day, causing many of the ladies in the capital to become more interested in Prince An's Palace.
From time to time, there would be an official wife passing an invitation to An Lingge to be her guest, but they were all politely rejected by the person in question.
Because the Madam Li was in charge of the backyard, An Lingge did not interact with any of the Shangguan Family madams at all. As a result, Bi Zhu rejected all of the posts one by one.
However, the old mistress had a different thought in her heart when she saw this.
In the past few days, An Lingxue was always depressed, like a happy little bird that suddenly lost its vitality, it's been chattering non-stop in the past few days, suddenly quietening down, making the old lady uncomfortable.
The madame could not hear her well-behaved granddaughter's soft and sweet words, and knew that she was depressed because the Spring Festival Gala had turned ugly.
Coincidentally, many of the madams had sent their posts over, so he might as well invite them to a gathering at the mansion. It could be considered an official meeting with everyone after the second and third branch returned to the capital.
Thinking about that, she immediately revealed this idea to Madam Li.
"Does the madame want to invite the ladies of those important officials?"
Madam Li sat under the old lady with a respectful and docile expression.
Although Madam Wang had taken over the warehouse from her, but regarding matters of size and size, the Madam Li had to handle them personally.
And because of this, the Old Mistress did not discuss with Madam Wang and instead asked someone to call Madam Li over.
She nodded, a smile appearing on her elderly face. "I have left the capital for more than ten years. Now that I have brought Old Second and Old Third back, it is time for me to officially meet with those people in the capital."
This was to let those from the second and third branch step into the social circle of the capital.
The Madam Li understood in her heart, although she felt that the Old Mistress' ambition was too great, she would not openly reject him.
She pursed her lips, her delicate oval face full of subservience. "Old madam, please be at ease. I will handle this matter well."
The old lady acknowledged, and gave the instructions for Madam Li to take note of, and then pretended to be tired. Madam Li immediately left, returning to her own courtyard and instructing her servants to handle the matter.
An Lingxue was the first to receive the news, she was called over by the in the Old Madam's courtyard, her usually innocent and charming face still looked gloomy.
"Little Xue, come to Grandmother's place." The madame pointed to the seat beside her and watched her sit down before extending her hand to nod her head. "Girl, are you still depressed over the Spring Festival?"
An Lingxue pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, "Little Xue was not unhappy because of the Spring Festival Gala, why would Grandmother ask that?"
"You grew up by Grandmother's side. How could Grandmother not know what you were thinking?" "You have been intelligent and cute since you were young, and are one of the most talented girls among your generation. However, when you first arrived in the capital, you made a mistake at the Spring Festival. You feel bad, grandmother knows about it."
"Grandmother," An Lingxue's voice was choked with sobs. She used the back of her hand to wipe her eyes, but did not raise her head, "I have trained hard in the zither arts for so many years. I only hope to earn some light for our Prince An's Palace.
As she spoke, she could not continue on. Her shoulders trembled, and she was obviously crying.
"Don't worry, Grandmother knows that you're feeling terrible, so she has already asked someone to prepare a feast for the young ladies and tell them that it's the second and third brothers' first time back to the capital to introduce you to the people of the capital."
An Lingxue looked up in surprise, but before the tears could fall, her eyes turned red again, "Since Grandmother has put in so much effort, Little Xue will definitely live up to Grandmother's expectations."
"Grandmother knows that you are a good child. Alright, go and prepare. We, Little Xue are so intelligent, we cannot be misunderstood by others just because of a single mistake."
An Lingxue nodded her head heavily, she talked with the old lady for a long time, then left the old lady's courtyard
On the other side, An Lingyi naturally had also heard of the news, and this matter was actually handled by the Madam Li. After An Lingyi investigated the situation, a cold smile rose from the corner of her mouth, "I knew Grandmother would be biased, and seeing that An Lingxue has made a fool of herself, I hurriedly tried to find a way to correct her name."
An Lingmeng was standing in front of her, but after hearing An Lingxue's words, she immediately flattered, "So what if old madam loves Second Young Miss dearly? The most respected person in this mansion is still you, Third Young Miss."
She shifted her gaze away from the table made of yellow pear wood and turned to the bronze beast furnace beside her. Even the incense was made of expensive jade, so luxurious and luxurious that which young miss in the mansion could compare to it?
An Lingmeng's eyes were filled with envy and greed, she couldn't wait for these things to all become hers.
She secretly calculated in her heart. If she could get An Lingyi to be happy, then giving her that little bit of information would definitely be more precious than anything she had.
Unexpectedly, An Lingyi's face became even uglier, and with a bang, she smashed the cup on the table, startling An Lingmeng.
"Am I the most respected person in this mansion?" She retorted with a sneer, "Where did you put An Lingge, and where did you put him?"
Although her aunt held control of the backyard, in terms of status, she was just a useless woman. Not only was she inferior in front of An Lingge, even An Lingxue, the direct descendant of the third house dared to provoke her!
An Lingmeng had originally wanted to flatter him, but who knew that it would cause his opponent's heart to hurt.
Although she did not have a daughter under her wing, she did not like the daughter of her concubine. Because of this, An Lingmeng decided to walk more closely with An Lingyi after returning to the capital for a few days, in order to make her life a little easier.
Fortunately, An Lingmeng's reaction was extremely fast. "Although Big Sis is a direct descendant of Prince An's Palace, she has lost her mother since she was young. Since the Duke Palace is controlled by Third Sis' mother, so Third Sis's position is naturally the highest. As for second sister, although she is also a direct descendant, but a direct descendant of the third house, she is far from being as noble as you, your eldest uncle's daughter. "
An Lingyi was happy from her flattery, her expression had finally eased up a little, "At least you know how to speak, so you can clearly see the way things are in this house. If it wasn't for my mother busily working for this house, where would your peaceful days be?"
This was a promise to make life easier for him.
An Lingmeng was overjoyed, and immediately said a few more words of praise.
While talking, the topic shifted once again to An Lingge.
"Grandmother wanted my mother to hold a banquet, so she naturally invited all the young misses of the mansion to attend. An Lingge was no exception." An Lingyi's eyes flashed with an unknown light, her lips curled up into a malicious smile, "Since we have such a good relationship, you definitely wouldn't reject helping me with something, right?"
