No matter how unwilling the madame was, the right to control the Duke's Mansion lay in the hands of the Aunt Li.

Bi Zhu sighed in disappointment. "I thought that I could kill the Aunt Li this time, but who knew that the Prince would stand on her side. Even the Old Mistress couldn't do anything about it."

Originally, the young miss was deceived by the Aunt Li and did not know that this person had ill intentions towards her. The servants were under the orders of the Aunt Li to bully the young miss, so the young miss did not take it to heart.

She thought that she could take back the authority of the Aunt Li in charge of the Prince's Mansion this time, and let the mother and daughter have a taste of Miss's suffering at that time.

"Aunt Li has been in the Prince's Mansion for so many years, that means the Prince has some feelings for her. It's impossible for him to take her down in one fell swoop."

An Lingge's hand that was writing suddenly paused, the snow-white Xuan paper's ink-black words almost fainted because of this pause, causing the words that were already written to become blurry.

"Ya, such a good word was destroyed just like that!"

Bi Zhu cried out in alarm, and immediately wanted to take the xuan paper, but An Lingge held her hand.

"No need."

She shook her head at Bi Zhu, and lowered her eyes to look at the words that were smeared all over.

"Although Father stood by Aunt Li's side today, this matter will always leave a doubt in his heart. It's just like this handwriting. No matter how hard Aunt Li tries, he won't be able to erase it."

Bi Zhu's eyes lit up. That was to say that the Prince was also disappointed in the Aunt Li, but would only support her because of her relationship for so many years. If she were to do something wrong again one day, the Prince might be completely disappointed, and the Aunt Li would no longer have someone to rely on.

She took out a set of clean clothes from An Lingge's wardrobe, and said: "Miss, the gatekeepers have already finished making preparations, we can change out of the room in a while."

On one hand, Miss wanted to go out and relax. On the other hand, she wanted to take this opportunity to see how Chu Yu was doing regarding the collection of medicinal ingredients.

An Lingge nodded and instructed Bi Zhu as usual, "If anyone comes, tell them that I went to the streets to buy jewelry."

Bi Zhu pouted, "Miss, every time you take this servant out, when are you going out?"

Brightheart glanced at her with a teasing smile on his face. "I don't think you want to go out with Miss, but to eat and drink on the street? Don't worry, I'll bring you your favorite candied fruits and sweet biscuit. "

With her thoughts exposed, Bi Zhu was not embarrassed. She giggled, "Then I'll leave it to you."

An Lingge shook her head, after taking care of the matter at hand, she then brought Ming Xin out of the house.

The two of them were dressed like men, so naturally they wouldn't ride the King's Manor. Thus, they walked to Chang An Street and randomly chose a jewelry store to enter.

"What do you two want to see?" We have the best gold, silver, and jade ornaments here. They are all made from the most original and superior materials in the capital.

The shopkeeper said, and only looked at An Lingge.

This was obviously a young master from a rich family bringing a servant out for a stroll. As long as he could please the young master, he would naturally sell his things.

An Lingge laughed and turned to face the pieces of jewelry, casually choosing two or three pieces that looked pretty good. Ming Xin followed beside her, just as she was about to take out the silver to settle the bill, a man rushed over and threw the silver in her hands onto the ground.

"Sorry, sorry."

The man was over twenty years old. He was tall and strong, but he was exceptionally thin. He wore a long gray robe and his accent was strange. He did not sound like he was from Beijing.

An Lingge subconsciously looked at him, and the man immediately lowered his head, revealing a look of guilt, "I didn't see you here just now, I bumped into you."

Ming Xin waved his hand. "It's fine."

She picked up the silver that fell to the ground and saw that the man's shoes were stained with something dark red. If she hadn't squatted down to pick it up, she wouldn't have noticed at all.

However, she did not take this matter to heart. She waited for the man to leave and then continued to talk to An Lingge, "Miss, are we going to go and find Chu Yu now?"

In order to prevent others from finding Chu Yu, An Lingge had not had any contact with him for a long time, so she should be going directly to find Chu Yu to discuss this matter.

An Lingge nodded, then walked forward, only to be suddenly smashed by something in the restaurant beside her, which coincidentally landed beside her feet.

Her gaze fell upon the small item. Picking it up, she placed it in her hands. As she looked up, she saw a devilishly handsome face.

Mu Junhan gave her a gentle smile, and extended his hand out to point at the room, allowing An Lingge to understand what he meant.

She brought along her heart and soul and walked up the stairs, allowing the waiter to directly lead them to the room Mu Junhan was in.

"Hereditary Prince Mu is in a good mood?"

An Lingge's gaze fell upon the exquisite dishes on the table, the bright color and attractive fragrance of the dishes made people's appetite rise.

Mu Junhan smiled and did not answer, instead, he invited An Lingge to sit in front of him, "Girl, you still haven't eaten, why not eat with this Hereditary Prince?"

Isn't it just the Hereditary Prince of the Prince Mu’s Palace? Why did she annul the engagement between him and the young miss, causing the young miss to be mocked by An Lingyi? At this moment, he acted as if nothing had happened and invited the young miss to a meal. It was obvious that he had evil intentions!

Her gaze was too obvious, it was hard for Mu Junhan not to notice it even if he wanted to.

He raised his eyes and his black phoenix eyes seemed to carry the aura of thunder. Just one glance was enough to cause one's mind to freeze in place, as though one's entire body had been frozen by a thousand years of ice and was unable to move.

"She is my servant girl."

The meaning of his words was that she was a trustworthy person, so Mu Junhan did not need to scare her.

Only then did Mu Junhan retract his gaze, as his face revealed a slight smile. He smiled unrestrainedly, and helped An Lingge eat the food in her bowl.

How could a man do such a thing when he wasn't married yet!

Ming Xin opened her eyes wide, feeling that Mu Junhan was taking advantage of An Lingge, but she stopped her young miss from speaking a word, and she just stared at An Lingge as he ate the dish.

Her young lady!

Ming Xin only felt that her vision had turned black, yet An Lingge seemed to have done a very ordinary thing, there wasn't the slightest bit of change in her expression, she turned his head and instructed her, "Hereditary Prince Mu and I have some matters to discuss, you can leave first."
