Listening to the maidservant recount the details of the incident, the madame's face became increasingly gloomy.
"What a great Madam Li!" She hit the table with her fist. It hurt her hands, but she didn't notice.
"It's just a small concubine's room, yet she dares to point fingers at the marriage of a direct descendant. Do you even know what you are?" The old mistress scoffed, her expression serious.
An Lingxue only just regained her composure and was still feeling a little weak, so she advised the old lady, "Grandmother, don't blame the young lady, the young lady is doing this for my own good."
Her eyes were filled with tears, looking delicate and touching, "My father is just a virgin, marrying into a rich merchant's family has already become Little Xue's greatest fortune."
Even though she said that, her face was covered in tears.
The madame naturally knew her personality. She was always smart and proud, so how could she fall for a merchant that stank of bronze?
These words must have been said by the Madam Li to Little Xue, which was why she was so sad that she almost left.
"Those are the words that the Madam Li had lied to you. Little Xue, you must not take it to heart." The old lady patted her hands, and patiently consoled her, "Little Xue is intelligent and nimble, and is even my granddaughter. Rest assured, Grandmother will personally select your marriage. "
"Grandmother loves Little Xue the most." The corner of An Lingxue's mouth drew back into a smile, and intimately held onto the Old Mistress's arm, "If it wasn't for my grandmother, Little Xue really wouldn't know what to do."
She lowered her head slightly, the cold light in her eyes chilling.
Madam Li dared to beat her up, who knew if she was prepared to be angered by her grandmother.
Just as An Lingxue had thought, after the Old Mistress had left, she did not return to the Qing Feng Courtyard, but instead went to the courtyard in Madam Li.
"Why is the madame here?" Madam Li looked up and saw the person. He could only feel his eyelids twitching and a sense of foreboding rose from the bottom of his heart.
There was a respectful and demure smile on her face as she tried to guess at the madame's thoughts.
The old mistress ignored the warm smile on her face and looked around her room. "Why didn't you see Third Young Madam?"
"Yi Er fell into the water today, and it is time for her to lose her health. She should be recuperating in her own courtyard."
The old lady nodded her head lightly, "Speaking of which, the reason the third girl fell into the water was because of her bad temper. She had a dispute with the fourth girl and even wanted to make a move on the fourth girl. That's why they both fell into the water."
When Madam Li heard the old lady's words, she felt that something was amiss, the smile on her face dimmed a little, "Yi Er has always been sensible and sensible, maybe there was some misunderstanding."
"Just take it as a misunderstanding." The old lady was not in the mood to talk too much on this issue, and instead brought up the matter of An Lingyi's marriage, "I heard that you called the second young lady over today, is it to discuss the marriage with her?"
The Madam Li nodded her head, the goose egg's face was filled with sincerity, "Today's feast was prepared for Second Miss, and there are many high ranking officials' wives amongst them. But I thought about it, with Second Miss' status, I am afraid that this shop is the most suitable for her."
She carefully explained her thoughts to the madame, until her mouth was dry and she did not dare to show a trace of dissatisfaction.
The Old Mistress listened quietly, the look in her eyes towards Madam Li had a deep meaning.
"The identity of the second girl, what identity does the second girl have?" The old mistress cast a sidelong glance at her, her tone hostile.
Madam Li's smile was dry as she explained, "Although Second Young Miss is also a young miss of Prince An's Palace, Third Young Master is just a virgin. To put it bluntly, Second Young Miss is a young miss from a wealthy family.
Because of An Yinghao's business, An Lingxue could be considered to be half a merchant's daughter.
Although her motive for thinking like this was not pure, she could not find anything wrong with it on the surface.
But how could the madame be fooled by her with just a few words?
She pressed down the corner of her mouth as her gaze turned sharp, "What you said sounds good. If this really is a good marriage, then why haven't I seen you prepare for your own daughter?"
An Lingxue was only a few months older than him, so the Madam Li being so concerned about her daughter's marriage was already extremely abnormal in itself.
"Yi Er is still young, so it's a little too early to consider her marriage. We'll have to wait until the marriage of her two elder sisters is decided before we can meet Yi Er again."
What Madam Li said was reasonable and reasonable. At this time, not only did she pay attention to the affairs of the family, she also cared about the order of the young, and had to wait until both of An Lingyi's sisters had decided on their marriage. Only then could Madam Li would she begin preparing for An Lingyi's marriage.
"En!" The madame seemed to agree with her, "If the second girl is engaged to that merchant, you should not reject the matter regarding Prince Yi’s Palace."
She implied a threat, causing Madam Li's expression to immediately become ugly.
This meant that if the Madam Li dared to use methods to get An Lingxue to marry a merchant, the Old Mistress could make An Lingyi marry into Prince Yi’s Palace in the blink of an eye and become the official wife of a fool.
"Old madam, please don't joke around. How could Yi Er marry that fool from Prince Yi’s Palace? That would force her to die!" "Even some ordinary family with a bit of backbone wouldn't marry their daughter to the Prince Yi’s Palace. If the old lady married Yi Er to the Prince Yi’s Palace, it would make the world laugh at Yi Er, and the world would laugh at our Prince An's Palace!"
"At this time, you actually know the face of Prince An's Palace. Why didn't you think of it when you wanted to marry the second girl to a merchant?" The old mistress was not moved, and made up her mind to reprimand Madam Li.
"Although the second girl is not the eldest brother's daughter, she is also the direct descendant of my Prince An's Palace. You wholeheartedly wanted to marry the Second Girl off to a merchant, but you didn't consider the Second Girl's feelings.
The madame's words caused Madam Li to be alarmed, and then she understood.
She knew why the old lady had come to scold him out of anger, it turned out that An Lingxue had filed a complaint.
Madam Li's eyeballs rolled around, and immediately started crying, "Is Second Young Miss alright? How did she know how to find shortsightedness? "This girl is also a fool. She didn't even say anything in front of me to refute her words. Who would have thought that she would have such thoughts after returning!"
Madam Li gritted her teeth in her heart as she spoke.
She thought that An Lingxue was someone easy to fool, but who would have known that she would be so obedient in front of her?
He really did not expect that the Second Miss would also have such deep thoughts.
