"However, this junior is not Little Ge. Yingcheng married you, that's why he's making such a big fuss about it! "

These words stung Aunt Li's heart, causing him to turn pale, and her body to sway uncontrollably.

Her lips trembled, and she opened her mouth wanting to explain herself, but the old madam did not give her the chance to explain, "The Madam Li is deliberately slandering Little Ge. However, you can't just let it go like this. "

"Come, slap my mouth. I want to let Madam Li have a good memory. If she makes trouble again, I won't let her off so easily!"

With the order from the old mistress, the servants surrounded Aunt Li. They did not care about the fake cultivators on the ground.

Aunt Li had limitless glory every day, even if sshe was at a disadvantage in front of An Lingge, he was still a person who wielded great authority in the Duke Palace, and was very dignified in front of these servants.

However, no matter how imposing she might be, she could only obediently accept the madame's order to punish her.

A burly woman walked to the front of Aunt Li and grinned, but there was a hint of coldness in her smile.

The smile on her face did not disappear as she raised her hand high up and slapped Aunt Li hard in the face.

Aunt Li was struck so hard that her head tilted to the side, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Li. Since the old mistress has given her orders, we can only follow her orders. If you are disrespectful, I hope you do not take it to heart."

Aunt Li covered her face, her eyes completely red. It was unknown whether it was due to anger or humiliation.

But this An Lingge, who was always blocking Yi Er's path, was constantly reminding her that she was only a lowly concubine. She was only trying to get rid of a little slut, yet she was being thwarted at every turn.

The last time the madame had punished her, it had been to make her kneel in the ancestral hall, so as to leave her some face in front of the servants.

But now, she didn't care about any feelings at all. She didn't care about how much effort she had put into helping the Prince's Mansion over the years, she just wanted people to slap her in front of so many people.

After today, how much dignity would she have in front of the servants?

Aunt Li's face twisted in hatred, her eyes filled with malevolent intent.

This old fogey, who had been helping that little bitch An Lingge all this while, was still slapping her face, making her lose face. She would definitely make this old fogey regret!

Aunt Li's chest rose and fell rapidly, but her eyes were filled with tears.

"Today's matter was my fault. The madame taught me a lesson and I will remember it in my heart. I will never do it again."

She lowered her head, and the handkerchief wiped at the corner of her eyes, revealing half of her red and swollen face.

The old mistress closed her eyes, unwilling to see this wicked woman.

Seeing this, Aunt Li cried even more pitifully, "I already know my wrongs! Old madam, please forgive me!" If you do not forgive me, I will kneel at the entrance of your courtyard and wait for you to be willing to forgive me. "

After she finished speaking, she kneeled down with a 'putong' sound. It seemed as if she really was someone who couldn't get up from her knees.

"Madam Li, you have received Yingcheng's trust. With your identity as a concubine, you have control of the Prince An's Palace. I originally did not have any objections regarding this matter. However, you actually can't tolerate Little Ge even though you pretend to be magnanimous on the surface. You thought of ways and means to frame her, so I can't tolerate you in this way. "

She glanced at Aunt Li with disdain and contempt in her eyes. "If you are willing to kneel, then kneel here. Look at her, if anyone sees Aunt Li kneeling here, you better tell them why he is kneeling here. "

"Old madam rest assured, this servant will definitely take good care of Aunt Li." A smile appeared on the chubby face of nanny Jiao as she nodded towards the old mistress.

Aunt Li originally wanted to retreat and advance, to force the Old Mistress to let bygones be bygones.

If she were to kneel in front of the old mistress' courtyard, others would think that the old mistress was a mischievous person and would try to make things difficult for a junior. Even if the old mistress had to give her face, she would make this a trifle less serious.

However, she did not expect the madame to be truly infuriated. She had already made up her mind to punish her. Despite her schemes, the madame was not afraid.

On one hand, it was to prevent her from being lazy. When Aunt Li said that she would kneel down, she would let others watch and see if she was not as stubborn as she claimed to be. On the other hand, if anyone saw her kneeling in front of her courtyard, with the help of nanny Jiao to explain the whole situation clearly, she was afraid that people would misunderstand.

An Lingge couldn't help but want to say "good" for the Old Mistress. Against a person as hypocritical and malicious as the Aunt Li, she should not be able to say a word.

The madame nodded, looking a little tired.

"nanny Jiao, you stay here and watch over the Madam Li. The others can go back."

Originally, he had only left the courtyard because of the crane. However, after a long period of commotion, it turned out to be a joke.

She was not young to begin with, and today she had experienced joy, disappointment, and anger in succession. She had truly expended too much effort.

Aunt Wei had been by her side for a while. Looking at the old lady's expression, it was obvious that she was in a very bad mood.

She followed the madame back to Qingfeng Garden and brewed some tea before bringing it to the madame.

"Madam, you've been tired all day. Why don't you try some of the scented tea that I've just developed? The combination of these peony water lotuses will be able to eliminate fatigue the most. "

With a smile, the madame's expression softened, though there was a hint of worry on her face. "If I hadn't brought Old Second and Old Third back to the ancestral residence, the mansion wouldn't have been like this."

If she had stayed in the Duke Palaces back then, after the death of Princess An, she would have immediately found a room for An Yingcheng.

The Aunt Li had made the whole house very smelly, but she had a younger sister who stayed in the palace and couldn't be punished too much.

The old mistress felt aggrieved just thinking about it. If it wasn't for Imperial Noble Consort Li, she would have driven the Aunt Li out of the manor and spent the rest of her life in the manor.
