Seeing An Lingyi admitting that the horses in the academy were done by her, the Old Granny laughed coldly for a moment, "I didn't know that you, Third Young Madam, actually had the ability to bribe someone to frame a direct sister on the horse, and even found such an excuse afterwards, I almost believed your words!"

An Lingyi repeatedly defended herself and said how much she had wronged her. It was only an accident that nearly caused An Lingge to lose her life.

"Third Sister's accident is really scary."

An Lingxue acted as if she was worried that she had also been framed by An Lingyi, "It's just like what Big Sister said. You almost caused Big Sister to lose her life just to be able to show off your skills, but when Grandmother asked, you actually planned to hide it from her. If it was not because of grandmother's dignity that forced you to speak the truth, wouldn't Big Sis have suffered this injustice for nothing? "

At this time, she spoke up for An Lingge with all her heart, as if she really did not care about the argument between the two.

But who would have known, that An Lingxue merely wanted to take the opportunity to add insult to injury, to be able to step on An Lingyi's foot?

An Lingge also had a solemn look on her beautiful face, but there was no expression of grievance on it, only a hint of worry, "Third Sister acted recklessly, and her Jingdu Academy nearly caused her to lose her life. She was forced to stop the test, and today, this matter is not related to me alone, but to our entire Prince An's Palace. If the Emperor were to know that the person behind all of this is actually the Third Sister, the entire Duke Palaces will probably be punished. "

Wasn't that the case too?

The old lady was enraged, if it was not because of the emperor, she would not have called Little Xue over, and only wanted to beat them up, so that no matter what they did, they would not meet with any mishaps.

"This matter is not as serious as Big Sister's words." An Lingyi secretly hated An Lingxue for adding insult to injury, but she was even more angry at An Lingge for not letting go.

However, the concubine had told her to be obedient and act like a good granddaughter in front of the madame. Although she could not please the madame or offend her, she did not dare to get angry lest she was punished.

"It's not that serious?" The old mistress retorted with a smile, infuriated. No matter how one looked at it, her expression was one of displeasure.

"This Jingdu Academy was specifically set up by the Emperor, and has gathered all of the famous families in the capital. From the officials in the imperial court to the noble king's house, which one of them isn't a famous family? But now you bribe someone to tamper with the horse, causing the academy's examination to be cancelled. Won't the teacher report it to the emperor, and won't the emperor send someone to investigate? When we find out about it, it will definitely implicate our entire Prince An's Palace! "

Amongst the few misses in the house, only Little Ge had actually seen through this matter. An Lingyi was only a concubine, and was not a person to be trifled with. Furthermore, Little Xue had grown up in a remote place like the Ancestral Mansion, so she did not know the might and terror of imperial power.

After all of these things, the first daughter of the Prince An's Palace was different from the other young misses.

The old mistress sighed in her heart, feeling both gratified and sorrowful.

As for An Lingmeng, the old lady had never put him in her mind because she was as transparent as a human being.

"Grandmother, granddaughter does have a way to make our Prince's Mansion come out of this matter." An Lingge said.

The madame's gaze fell upon him. "If you have any ideas, just say them." Although the madame said so, she didn't have much hope in her heart.

As long as it was An Lingyi who did this, then the Prince An's Palace would definitely be affected. The only difference was whether or not the punishment he received from the Emperor was severe or not.

An Lingge looked towards An Lingyi's direction before smiling, "Although we have already figured out that this was caused by the people sent by the Third Sister, up until now, only we know the truth. The others still do not know, but we can use this opportunity to push this matter to someone else."

"Pushing this matter onto someone else's shoulders, big sister's way of speaking is way too nimble." "Forget about whether or not we can successfully push this matter to someone else, even if Big Sis has a way to make those innocent people take the blame, haven't you thought about what would happen to those innocent people?"

This kind appearance, as though she was the only one in the world who would think for others, made An Lingge sneer in her heart, but on the surface, he did not reveal it, and only displayed a surprised expression.

"Why would Second Sister think of bringing this matter to someone who has nothing to do with us? I am only thinking, since Third Sister has passed this matter to the servant girl beside her, then it can't be considered as her being the one in charge. As long as that servant girl is convicted, Third Sister will be able to get out of this matter, and the Emperor will naturally not punish us just for being a servant."

"No way!" An Lingyi immediately shouted out when she heard that she was going to punish her with a servant girl.

It wasn't that she felt sorry for her maid, but ever since Bai Yu's betrayal and her aunt's order to execute her maid, there was only one servant left. If she were to condemn Bai Yu, she wouldn't have a single confidant by her side.

The old lady then relaxed her face a little, because her words were serious once again. Her angry gaze landed on An Lingyi, "When you did such a thing to frame Little Ge, not only did Little Ge not care about it, he even thought of ways to get rid of the crime for the sake of the big picture. Yet, you are actually unwilling to do so.

She stood up, raised her cane and was about to hit An Lingyi.

Seeing that she was so angry, An Lingyi subconsciously hid himself.

"Fine, fine, fine. You still dare to dodge?" The old lady said three good things in succession, but her expression was so dark that water could drip from it. She immediately instructed the servants at the side, "Go call the maidservants by the side of the third young miss over, whip them for fifty years, then send them to the officials. Tell them that Prince An's Palace has dealt with this kind of tricky slave who murdered their master."

Fifty lashes, that's a lot of punishment.

Although An Lingyi wanted to refute her, when she saw the old lady's walking stick, she did not dare to say anything.

'Forget it, it's just a maid, so I was beaten to death. I'll just get an aunt to find me another one.

"Grandmother, since this maidservant wants to frame me, why don't you let me go watch the punishment?" An Lingge said warmly, a pair of deep black eyes, could not help but cause others to be able to see the emotions behind it.

She was a victim in this matter, and for the sake of Prince An's Palace, she let An Lingyi go. With such a small request, the madame naturally wouldn't disagree, and immediately agreed.
