Madam Li keenly noticed the change in the Old Mistress' expression and had already guessed what she was thinking.

She quickly used the handkerchief to wipe her eyes and wiped away the tears that didn't exist. With a wronged expression, she said, "I know First Miss doesn't like me recently, but there's no need to purposely say those words to wrongly accuse me." Who doesn't know that Aunt Wei is always in her side yard and doesn't like to meet people? How does Eldest Miss know that Spring Apricot is a loyal maid and the nanny Sun by my side is that kind of evil slave? "

nanny Sun also repeatedly cried out her grievances.

The old mistress' head hurt from her argument as she slapped the table. "Enough. You all have your own opinions. Everyone says that they are innocent and kind. I can't trust you all like this."

She paused for a moment, her gaze swept across Aunt Wei's body and landed on her body, "However, Aunt Wei has always been living in dire straits, and you have clearly known about it, but you did not settle this matter. In fact, even after I had returned to my residence for over a month, you have not brought up this matter, and this is your negligence. Thus, I will punish you with three months of silver, and within three days, you will compensate Aunt Wei for all of these years."

"The old mistress' lesson is, I will do as you say." Madam Li was upset, but she still maintained a respectful expression on her face.

She looked in the direction of the Aunt Wei with an expressionless face, her eyes filled with a dark and cold viciousness.

It would have been fine if Aunt Wei had stayed in the side yard and acted like a transparent person, but she could see that she knew what was good for her and had allowed Aunt Wei to live peacefully. Yet, this woman actually wanted to borrow the Old Mistress's powers to rise up and fight with him.

Madam Li lowered her head, the corners of her mouth stretched straight.

"Grandmother is truly wise. In the future, Aunt Wei will definitely do her best to serve you by your side."

Although the Aunt Wei was timid, she was not a foolish person. Upon hearing the First Miss's words, she hurriedly thanked the Old Mistress.

The Countess waved her hand and lowered her eyes tiredly. She then said to the Aunt Wei, "Let the maidservants bring you to your original residence. You don't need to wait on me today. From tomorrow onwards, you will be here to serve me for four hours every day. You don't have to do anything else other than make me some tea. "

Aunt Wei thanked her with fear and trepidation. Her eyes reddened a little, but she suppressed the excitement in her heart, preventing herself from losing her composure in front of the madame.

Although she was an unfavoured aunt, she could not find anything wrong with her etiquette when she followed beside Princess An.

The madame saw that she was in a good mood and even though she was a bit softer, she still had some bearing. She nodded and let the maidservant take her out.

An Lingge and the others naturally left the Old Madem Xiang as well, and walked out of Qingfeng Courtyard together.

Madam Li brought nanny Sun and headed towards her own courtyard, but suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned and looked at An Lingge with her sharp eyes: "Young miss's chess move was really good."

There was still a smile on An Lingge's lips, her black and bright eyes met Madam Li's sharp eyes, and her voice was soft and gentle, "What is Aunt talking about, Little Ge does not understand."

"You slut, what are you pretending to be stupid for!" He could not pretend to be kind and amiable at all. Pointing at An Lingge, he said, "I've underestimated you, you slut, and you actually came to look for trouble with me, I'm not looking for trouble with you, but you've been looking forward to getting me into trouble, and even urged the old lady to do it."

As if she hadn't scolded him enough, she paused for a moment, trying to think of some vicious words to say. "Lowly people are lowly people, your mother is a slut who came from nowhere, you are that slut's little bastard!" "Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you're the big miss. You pissed me off today, but in the future, I won't even let you have the chance to regret and beg for forgiveness!"

An Lingge had a beautiful smile on her face at first, but when she heard the Madam Li insult her mother, her expression immediately darkened.

She coldly stared at Aunt Li, causing the latter to take a step back in fear.

"No matter where my mother comes from, you, Aunt, always have to lower your head in front of her." My mother is my father's, and is naturally married to my mother. You are just a concubine who was carried in by a side door while little Jiao was carried in. Even if my mother dies, you still have to kowtow in front of my mother's memorial tablet and call her Princess An! "

Madam Li was so angry that her lips were trembling, and she couldn't hold back the anger in her heart anymore, as she slapped An Lingge on the face.

The clear and loud slapping sound startled everyone awake, Madam Li somewhat panicked as she retracted her hand, her gaze sweeping across An Lingge's swollen face.

After being slapped by Madam Li, An Lingge did not cover her face.

Her face was usually gorgeous, with a radiance that could scorch people. At this moment, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, which made her face soften and look as if she had been wronged.

"What are you doing?"

An Yingcheng originally wanted to go to Madam Li's courtyard and listen to the commotion here, but when he walked over in large strides, he saw An Lingge's red and swollen face with a single glance.

He frowned deeply, his eyes filled with displeasure. This displeasure was actually directed at Madam Li.

"Madam Li was about to explain, but An Lingge was a step faster than her," Father, Aunt scolded my mother as low and cheap, I couldn't stand it, so I replied her with a few words.

An Yingcheng's face became even uglier, and the bright red palm print appeared in front of him, confirming what An Lingge had said.

Madam Li hurriedly moved in front of An Yingcheng, her expression instantly turned gentle, but she was still unable to hide her awkwardness, "My prince, don't be angry, this is all my fault. I wanted to teach Little Ge, but who would have thought that Little Ge would actually contradict me. Even though I am only a concubine, I am still her senior in the end. If others were to find out that Little Ge did not listen to the teachings of the elders and even went against them, they would think that the young ladies of my Prince An's Palace were all raised in such a way.

She wanted to let this matter slide, how could An Lingge do as she wished?

An Lingge lowered her head, the dazzling palm print was aimed straight at An Yingcheng. Her voice was somewhat low, "When Aunt called my mother a slut that I don't know where, and even called me a bastard, that's why I refuted Aunt."

When she looked up, her eyes were filled with tears, but she did not let them fall.
