The next day was the day when the officials of the Great Zhou Empire decided to rest, so An Yingcheng stayed behind in the mansion.

Prince An's Palace's big family had finally gathered, and the dining table was bustling with noise and excitement.

The old lady smiled as she looked at An Ling Hao, "It has been some time since we last met, and soon it will be time for the board to be released. How do you feel, Brother Hao?"

Even though he was not An Yingcheng's child, he was the madame's first grandson. Not only was he handsome, his studies were also outstanding amongst his peers.

An Ling Hao immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand, and revealed a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, "I'm ashamed, but I'm afraid I can't place in the top three."

Although his words sounded modest, it was actually a message from the Old Madem Xiang. Even if he wasn't in the top three, he was still one of the top few.

Hearing this, Madam Wang laughed so hard that his teeth could no longer be seen, his face was full of pride, "Brother Hao, you've worked hard these past few days."

As she spoke, she took a piece of fish into her son's bowl. Seeing that An Ling Hao had become a bit thinner, a look of heartache surfaced in her eyes, "If you can't fight for the top three, then forget it. Your body is more important.

Although An Yinghao, who was at the side, didn't say anything, his face still carried a bit of arrogance.

He loved women's leisure and leisure, but his son was a promising scholar. In a short period of time, Hao'er would be a High Scholar, and even a fifteen-year-old High Scholar would be hard to find in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Currently, An Yingcheng was a Prince An with an esteemed status. Second Branch An Linghao also had outstanding knowledge, and was also someone who would embark on the official road in the future. He only had three branch sons and not a single daughter from An Yingkang.

Thinking of this, An Lingxue's eyes became dark.

Now that the madame was still alive, the people of the third house could still have connections with the first and second houses, and also benefit from their glory. However, the madame was already old. Even if her body was healthy and healthy, she might not live for more than a few years. At that time, how could the three families live in the capital without any power or influence?

She must give the third branch some authority while the old mistress was still alive!

An Lingxue's eyes flashed, and an innocent smile appeared on her face, "Brother Hao is truly amazing, I really want to become the Great Zhou Dynasty's youngest Scholar. In my opinion, only Big Sister, the princess personally conferred by the Emperor, can be compared with Big Brother Hao in this entire Great Zhou Dynasty. "

As the old lady was praising An Linghao, she suddenly started to flatter An Lingge, causing a trace of displeasure to flash past her eyes.

However, she was still the madame's most beloved granddaughter. The madame could only signal her with her eyes and say nothing.

The smile on Madam Wang's face froze for a moment, but after thinking about how An Lingge saved the child in her womb, she swallowed down her dissatisfaction with Eldest Miss.

Only the Aunt Li continued with a smile, "Second Miss is right. Eldest Young Master is very young, and Eldest Young Miss is very shrewd.

Seeing that An Yinghao's face was starting to darken, An Lingge immediately said, "Second Sister's words are embarrassing me. Everyone knows how I got my position as a princess.

With one glance, she could see through the small thoughts of sowing discord between them. She spoke in a neither light nor heavy tone and held An Linghao high, not offending the people from the second branch in the slightest.

As expected, Madam Wang and An Yinghao's expression became a lot better. Not only that, Madam Wang also took the opportunity to praise An Lingge's exceptional medical skills as well as his filial piety. A series of praises, as if saying it out of her mouth, made An Lingxue's face twist slightly.

"Alright." The old lady spoke softly and Madam Wang stilled in her mouth, listening to her command, "Little Ge Hao'er is the pride of our Duke Palace, you don't need to praise him. I have something important to announce today. "

It's here!

Aunt Wei's heart had been lifted high up, and in this moment, it was as if time had stopped. She seemed to be able to hear her own heart beating loudly, again and again beside her ear.

Everyone in the room had their eyes on the old mistress, only Aunt Li had his head lowered, looking sorrowful and wronged.

When her gaze landed on Aunt Li, there was a bit of disgust in her gaze, but it quickly returned to normal. She said warmly, "The matters of the Duke Palaces were originally left to the Aunt Li to manage, but she was unable to handle them all by herself, so I sent my second brother's family to manage the warehouse. But now that Second Brother is pregnant with a child, I just want Aunt Wei to help them take care of the Duke's Mansion. What do you think? "

Let the Aunt Wei take care of the Duke Palaces?

An Lingxue was shocked. Initially, when they were not in the capital, it was fine that the Palace was handed over to the Aunt Li to take care of it, but after they returned to the capital, her grandmother only asked the Second Aunt to take care of the treasury.

It was one thing if there was only one person in charge of the storehouse at that time, but now Grandmother was willing to let an aunt manage the palace rather than letting her mother interfere in the affairs of the household. Was she going to exclude all three of them?

Anxiety could not help but appear on her face, yet she still acted innocent and obedient when facing the madame. "Grandmother, is the house lacking in manpower?" Why don't you let my mother try? When I was at the Ancestral House, it was managed by my mother and my father, and there was no mistake at all. The two of them have been cooperating for so many years, so it must have been better than my father's. "

Before Aunt Li could say anything, An Lingxue jumped out first.

The unhappiness in the Countess' eyes grew stronger. The reason she made this decision was to slap Aunt Li's face, but Little Xue didn't understand the ins and outs of it, so she hurriedly said these words. She didn't have this kind of impulsive personality in the past.

Seeing the old lady's expression, Madam Zheng immediately pulled at her daughter, her face carrying a gentle smile, "Little Xue is a child, her words are too naive, please do not take it to heart."

The old lady's expression relaxed slightly, and then looked towards Aunt Li, "Madam Wang, Aunt Li, do you two have any objections?"

Madam Wang shook her head. She was pregnant, and thus, was in need of rest. Even if another Aunt Wei were to help her, it would not affect the power in her hands.

Aunt Li lowered her head, and did not say anything else. Her voice carried some grievance, "I … "Listen to the madame."

"Your son does not agree with this." Just as Aunt Li finished speaking, An Yingcheng stood up with a serious expression.
