Nanny Zhang fumbled around in An Lingge's room for a while before she suddenly turned her head towards the door. Seeing that no one was around, she took out something from her bosom and stuffed it under An Lingge's pillow.

After doing all this, she looked around to make sure there was no one around before she composed herself and walked out of the house as if nothing had happened.

The maidservant who was hiding outside the window quietly stood up and ran off to an unknown place.

On the other side, An Lingge arrived at An Lingxue's courtyard. Upon entering the house, she saw An Lingxue lying on the bed, her face pale and seemingly very weak.

In front of her stood a serving maid. In her hand was a medicine bowl; it seemed like she had just fed her medicine.

"Why is big sister here?" An Lingxue glanced at the person coming over, coughed twice, and struggled to sit up.

An Lingge immediately went forward to support her, and a servant put a soft pillow behind An Lingxue, "What's going on with Second Sister? It has only been a few hours since we last met, why are you still unhappy?

Her face was full of concern and worry, and her eyes were filled with the pain that her elder sister felt for her younger sister.

"It's Little Xue's fault that big sister is worried." An Lingxue laughed weakly, her lips had a white hue, her already pretty face now looked even more pitiful.

The servant at the side appeared to be very distressed, she immediately put down the medicine bowl and brought An Lingxue hot water.

"Miss, don't talk anymore, let's drink some water and moisten our throats first." She took a spoonful of water and fed it to An Lingxue, one spoonful at a time.

An Lingxue raised her head along the servant girl's hand, and the bruises on her neck fell into An Lingge's eyes.

She was shocked as astonishment surfaced in her eyes, "Why is Second Sister's neck like this, is it actually this severe?"

When An Lingxue hanged herself, she truly calculated the time, and made a real torture to the old lady in front of her. There wasn't the slightest hint of him faking it, and there was a deep scar on her neck.

The maid at the side pursed her lips and said with some resentment, "If it wasn't for Aunt, why would my family's young miss suffer like this?"

"Yueer, don't say anymore!" An Lingxue bellowed, but did not have any strength, and began to cough while covering her mouth.

The servant girl called Yueer immediately gave An Lingxue a drink of water, seeing that she was no longer coughing, she said to her young miss, "The young miss does not know, that today's banquet is supposed to be a feast for our young miss, but Third Miss and Fourth Miss met with mishaps and fell into the water, the feast was naturally ruined as well. This old man is extremely angry, and my words are inevitably a little harsh."

She wiped her eyes with the handkerchief and spoke on behalf of An Lingxue, "But I never thought that Third Young Miss would bear this grudge in her heart. Not only did she tell the concubine about this, the concubine even called our Young Miss over and secretly insulted her, saying that she wanted to marry our Young Miss to a merchant!"

Even if she was not the daughter of the current Prince An, she was still the granddaughter of the Old Duke. How could she marry into such a lowly shop?

An Lingge immediately understood Mingyue's meaning as she looked at An Lingxue with a pitiful gaze, "Aunt is really going too far. Second Sister can be at ease; I definitely won't ask Aunt to casually interfere in your marriage."

"Thank you elder sister for your kind intentions," An Lingxue had only just said a few words before she started coughing again. Brightmoon immediately calmed her down, "Grandmother has already decided for Little Xue and scolded aunt.

"You're also a fool. Third Aunt may not care about matters, but Grandmother loves you the most. How could Auntie possibly interfere in your marriage?" You actually found fault just because of a few words from Aunt, you should learn your lesson. "

An Lingge turned to look at Bi Zhu, who immediately stepped forward and brought out the thing inside the box.

"This is the gelatin that was sent over from Jiangnan this spring. Along with the ginseng that I have in my possession, I will give it to Second Sister to nourish your body. You should get well soon, let's play together again."

Mingyue quickly took it and respectfully put it away.

An Lingxue was overwhelmed by the favor, and once again held An Lingge's hand and cried, moved to tears.

After walking out of An Lingxue's courtyard, An Lingge heaved a sigh of relief.

"Second Sister is indeed a ruthless person."

The corners of her mouth curved into a smile that was just the right thing to say, making it hard to tell what she was really thinking.

Bi Zhu followed behind her, obviously a little afraid, "There's such a deep scar on Second Young Miss's neck. If it wasn't for the old lady coming in time, Second Young Miss might really have died like this."

"That's why I said Second Sister is a ruthless person. In this world, there are a lot of people who would go on to hang themselves when they cry, but only Second Sister can make people not feel the slightest bit annoyed. She only felt that she had suffered a great grievance."

"Is it because the second miss was ruthless towards herself? Can't you see that you are suffering?" Bi Zhu tested the waters as she asked with a slightly thinner and round face.

She had followed An Lingge around for so many years, and only in the past few months had she experienced so much. Her mind quickly matured, and when she heard An Lingge's words, she could easily guess what she meant.

Seeing her like this, An Lingge was pleased but also disappointed and disappointed.

Since he had reincarnated into this life, he was bound to have a showdown with Madam Li and her daughter. However, it had implicated Bi Zhu who was feeling anxious and fearful by her side, and his life was sometimes even at stake.

Fortunately, Bi Zhu had grown up very quickly.

Just as An Lingge was thinking about this, she saw a servant quickly running over.

"Eldest Miss, something has happened in the courtyard. Quickly go back and take a look."

The servant looked familiar, but An Lingge could not recognize who the servant was.

Bi Zhu quickly introduced the place to her, "This is Xiao Lian who is in charge of cleaning our courtyard."

No wonder he looked so familiar.

An Lingge understood in her heart, and she could only allow the servant to explain.

As she listened to the maid's narration, the coldness in her eyes became deeper and deeper.

"Come, let's return to Parasol House. I want to see what Nanny Zhang has prepared to wait for me."

Bi Zhu also felt that something was wrong and immediately followed An Lingge into the Parasol House.

Just as they stepped into the Parasol House, they saw more than a dozen people already standing in the courtyard. They were dressed as palace guards, and it was likely that they clashed with the gatekeeper, as they were about to rush into the courtyard.

"What are you doing here?"

An Lingge suddenly said, walking from behind them, her beautiful face sunk, "Could it be that my Parasol House is a place where you can casually barge into?"
