Although Aunt Li only entered the manor after the death of Princess An, she had already stayed in the manor for more than ten years, so she naturally knew what the jade bracelet represented.

When she had first entered the palace, her heart had been set on being righted, but at that time, the Old Granny had already gone to the ancestral residence. She had also sent someone to take back the bracelet, which represented the identity of the Princess An.

Although she could not see anything on the surface, but this matter still represented the old lady's attitude. She did not agree to let the Aunt Li be righted.

An Yingcheng was a filial person, so he naturally would not go against his mother's wishes.

At that time, the Aunt Li was so angry that she gritted her teeth and acted coldly towards her man for a few days.

But other than her, there was only one other Aunt Wei in the Duke Palace. Moreover, An Yingcheng had only spoiled her and even given her the authority to rule the Palace, so Aunt Li was considered half a wangfei and she had forgotten about this matter.

Now that he saw the jade bracelet on Aunt Wei's wrist, Aunt Li immediately thought of this matter.

Back then, she had tried to please the madame and asked her about her preferences. She had sent people all the way to the ancestral residence to present her with precious gifts, but the madame remained unmoved and did not mention anything about helping her recuperate.

How long has it been since Aunt Wei came out of the side courtyard? The madame passed such an important thing to her, this is clearly meant to go against her, to make the Aunt Wei look bad for her!

The hatred the Aunt Li had for the Old Mistress was like a flood rushing down from a tall mountain, sweeping away all of her thoughts and causing great waves to surge in her heart.

"This bracelet doesn't look bad."

With great difficulty, she managed to calm the resentment in her heart. With a few looks in her eyes, her face returned to that haughty smile, "However, no matter how beautiful this bracelet is, some people will never be able to change their lowly birth."

The Aunt Wei chuckled and fearlessly met the other party's disdainful gaze, "Aunt Li is right, but for some people, no matter how extraordinary their identity is, they wouldn't be able to get such a pretty bracelet. "This is called having two different things in the world. One can't let all the good things be taken by one person."

Even if Aunt Li was the daughter of an official, and the madame did not like her, she could not just stand here and cover the entire sky.

The smile on Aunt Li's face carried a bit of coldness. Her lips curled up in contempt, and the corner of her eyes slanted downwards, "What you said makes a lot of sense. It's your fortune that the old lady is so good to you. But the old lady's birthday is coming up, I wonder what kind of wedding present Aunt Wei has prepared? "

She looked at Aunt Wei with contempt in her heart.

Aunt Wei had only come out of the side courtyard not long ago, she probably could not even save up to a hundred taels of silver. If it was the Old Madam's birthday, it would be a joke if Aunt Wei gave him some unpresentable gifts.

"Aunt Li does not need to worry about this." Aunt Wei had been worrying about this these past few days, but facing this person, she naturally could not be at a disadvantage.

The Aunt Li smiled but did not speak. After stabbing the Aunt Wei for a while, she was satisfied and brought her servant back to the courtyard.

"Mother, Grandmother's birthday is coming up. Do you think Young General Lu will come back then?"

Seeing that the Aunt Li had returned, An Lingyi immediately went to welcome him.

There was a shyness on her face, but it was mostly anticipation.

When Aunt Li saw this young girl in love, helplessness surfaced on her face.

"You're not young anymore, why do you keep saying these words to yourself? If others were to hear about it, wouldn't that ruin your reputation? "

The Great Zhou Dynasty was open to the masses, but it was always rather harsh on women.

An Lingyi did not bother to conceal her admiration for a man. To put it nicely, it was because the girl found it hard to suppress her admiration for another man.

Being said so indifferently by the Aunt Li, An Lingyi did not take her words to heart. She giggled and intimately held onto his arm, shaking it slightly, "Isn't it because I'm in front of mother, what does my daughter think? Could it be that I have to hide it from you?"

She raised her head with a smile on her face, looking like an innocent young girl.

In the end, she was the daughter of the person whom he cared about, so how could Aunt Li blame her?

She reached out and tapped An Lingyi's forehead, her eyes filled with love.

An Lingyi did not dodge, but waited for his mother to take back her hand, and then asked again, "Mother, just say it, did you send an invitation to the General Da Palace?"

"Naturally, he sent the post over." Aunt Li replied with a smile.

Forget about the high status of the General Da, being a minister that the emperor values, there was a need to rope their Prince An's Palace in. Simply speaking, Lu Zhan had saved them a few days ago, so they had to send an invitation to the General Da as well.

When An Lingyi received the answer she wanted, his eyes lit up, and a smile appeared at the corner of his eyes, "That's great, mother, quickly help me think, what clothes will I wear then?"

"It doesn't matter what you wear then." Aunt Li spoke sincerely and sincerely, her almond eyes filled with deep contemplation. "This is the first time since the madame returned to the capital that her birthday has been celebrated, so Your Highness will definitely pay attention to it. You just have to take this chance to show your filial piety and spread your reputation of filial piety. This will be more useful than any other kind of clothes. "

Now that An Lingyi was thirteen or fourteen years old, if it was an ordinary family, it would also be the time for them to discuss marriage.

If he could make use of the Old Mistress' birthday to spread An Lingyi's reputation of being filial, it would be beneficial to her in the future when she could negotiate with him.

An Lingyi naturally understood her mother's painstaking efforts. However, she was at the age where she loved to be beautiful, so how could she not pay attention to her clothes and clothes?

She playfully pulled on her hand with a coquettish expression and dragged her voice, "Mother, filial piety is not something that can be claimed just by reputation. Can you help me think of a way to make it more stunning when the time comes? It would be easier that way."

She could not force her daughter, so she could only nod her head and say, "Alright, alright, in two days I will bring you to make a new set of clothes. But for other things, you have to listen to me."

An Lingyi hurriedly nodded, and obediently listened to Aunt Li's instructions.

Her eyes flashed, and after a moment she became somewhat surprised, her expression carrying some hesitation, "Mother, An Lingge has such a cautious personality, will this matter be successful?"

It was not that she did not have confidence in herself, it was just that An Lingge was too cunning and treacherous. She even suspected that An Lingge had been possessed by a demon, if not, how could she have suddenly become so powerful?

Just as she finished speaking of her guess, Aunt Li glared at her.

"What nonsense is this!" Aunt Li interrupted An Lingyi's absurd guess.
