Back then, when Princess An married into the palace, the old prince was still alive, and she did not lead the second and third branch family members back to the ancestral home.

The old lady had a deep impression of her eldest son's legal wife, and knew that Aunt Wei was originally a servant that served Princess An. However, she was carried away by Princess An and became his concubine.

Hearing An Lingge mention it, Aunt Wei was actually proficient in the Way of Tea, the old lady was immediately interested.

Everyone in the ancestral residence loved tea. After living there for more than ten years, the madame had developed a penchant for drinking tea. When she heard that someone was skilled in the art of tea, her mind began to work.

"Has Aunt Wei had any free time recently?"

She took a sip of her tea and felt her heart fill with the fragrance as the corners of her mouth widened.

An Lingge's face was full of smiles, her eyebrows curved upwards: "Aunt Wei is so relaxed, doing nothing in my courtyard all day, I am the most lazy person in the entire mansion. Grandmother, since you've returned to the manor, you should naturally urge her to not be so lazy. "

The madame couldn't help but laugh when she saw her little daughter acting like a spoiled child. She reached out and tapped her forehead gently, "You, if you want Aunt Wei to come to my side, just say so. You're being so roundabout, trying to fool around with me, grandmother."

"Grandmother, you are wrongly accusing me." An Lingge pretended to be angry, and poured another cup of tea for the old lady, then she explained in a serious tone, "Aunt Wei is not related to me in any way, why should I make plans for her? I said so much, it was just to let Grandmother drink the best scented tea possible, Little Ge heard the servants say that Grandmother has loved to drink tea especially, that's why she remembered to ask Aunt Wei to wait on you. If you are unwilling, then pretend Little Ge didn't mention this matter. "

"Aiyo, our most sensible Little Ge is actually angry." The madame was clearly in a good mood, but she smiled and teased her, "Grandmother was just joking with you, why do you take it seriously? As for the Aunt Wei you mentioned, Grandmother has already thought about it. If her tea ceremony is really that good, I will make her come over every day for two hours.

Although the Old Mistress did not know about the situation in Aunt Wei, from her granddaughter's words, she knew what kind of life she was leading.

To put it nicely, it was because his personality was so secluded that no one would fight him in the world. To put it bluntly, he would be beaten up to the point that he wouldn't be able to fight back, and would only be able to live in the small courtyard.

Since An Lingge had mentioned the Aunt Wei and wanted to help her, the Old Mistress did not mind going with her plan. After all, she did not like the Madam Li.

The maidservants at the side quickly received the madame's order, and before long, they arrived at the courtyard of the Aunt Wei, passing down her orders.

"The madame wants me to wait in her room for two hours a day?"

Aunt Wei looked at the servant girl in disbelief. She felt embarrassed and took out a few coins from her bosom and handed it over to the servant girl. "Do you know why the madame gave such an order?"

The maidservant looked at the copper coin with disdain. She did not accept the copper coin. Instead, she pushed it back.

"Aunt Wei's house is too simple, it doesn't even have a decent piece of furniture. The broken cup should have long been changed, if anyone else saw it now, they would think that our Duke Mansion has fallen to the state of using worn-out teacups."

She had been brought up by a maidservant, so naturally, she didn't have any dowry. Madame Li had secretly taken away the monthly allowance that should have belonged to her, leaving her short of income. It had taken her a very long time to save only a few copper coins.

She laughed dryly and made an excuse for herself. "I don't love those extravagant things. The cup was only knocked a little, so it doesn't matter. There's no other furniture in the room. It's good."

Thinking about something, she retracted her smile and looked at Aunt Wei seriously, her face looking more like she was trying to curry favor with him, "Aunt Wei is really stupid, the old lady wants you to come to her side to serve her, that is the great fortune, as long as you serve her well, even if you are dressed in fine clothing and food, you will definitely be part of her. Do you really want to stay in this side courtyard for the rest of your life? "

She paused for a moment, her gaze swept across Aunt Wei's conflicted expression, and continued to persuade him, "The chance is right in front of you, even if you don't think for yourself, you still have to consider Young Master Yu's future, this is the kindness that the First Miss Old Madem Xiang has requested, don't let the First Miss down."

This was actually the intention of the eldest young miss?

Aunt Wei was shocked. She only felt that there was a mix of different feelings, and she couldn't tell what she was feeling.

She hesitated for a moment before making up her mind, "I will pack my things and go to Old Madem Xiang to greet them."

The servant girl then smiled, "It's good that Aunt Wei can understand. In the future, I might have to rely on you to show my face in front of the old mistress."

Her words were meant as a form of flattery, the Aunt Wei clenched the handkerchief in her hands tightly and did not say a word.

There weren't many things in Aunt Wei, so Spring Apricot carefully checked over and over again with the bow, and a small parcel was already filled up all of her things.

Inside the green bag were only a few pieces of old clothes along with two or three types of old-fashioned jewelry. The aunt of the Prince's Mansion actually only had this little bit of wealth, so messing around with it was truly tragic.

Spring Apricot's eyes were already starting to tear up. He blinked his eyes and swallowed his tears back.

With great difficulty, Aunt had a chance to gain power in front of the Old Mistress. Even if she could not please the Old Mistress, there would still be the Old Mistress to take care of her and not have to suffer the harsh humiliation of the Madam Li.

Although he didn't know why An Lingge was helping him, he calmly accepted this matter.

The maidservant brought Aunt Wei to Qing Feng Yuan and blessed the Countess. She said respectfully, "Madam, this servant has already brought Aunt Wei here."

The old lady was drinking tea with An Lingge, after hearing what he said, she put down her teacup and looked towards Aunt Wei.

The person in front of him didn't have a stunning appearance, only a face that was filled with the gentleness of a little girl from Jiangnan. It was somewhat clean and pleasant to look at.

The old mistress' gaze moved from her face and landed on Aunt Wei's clothes, and her expression immediately turned dark.

"What happened to your clothes?"
