An Lingge turned her head to look at Qing Er, her shiny black eyes flashed with an unknown light, and her expression was a little assured. "Tell me, has Aunt Li ever bought this jade Guanyin before?"

After Qing Er was questioned, she immediately kowtowed, "Old madam, please atone for your sins, this servant only received Third Young Miss's orders and went to buy this jade Guan Yin. I didn't know that this jade image would be tampered with!"

Her words made An Lingyi and Aunt Li's face change at the same time. She was clearly bought by An Lingge, but did Qing Er say that she was bribed, and betrayed them?

"You slut, you actually dared to frame me!"

An Lingyi's anger rose from her heart, and her haughty personality could no longer be concealed. With an angry curse, she stretched out her hand to strike at Qing Er's body.

"Stop!" The old lady bellowed, and looked at An Lingyi with an ice-cold gaze, "Qing Er has already told the truth, and you still want to quibble? Do you think that if you don't admit your wrongs, I won't be able to do anything to you?"

Her face was as dark as water, and the anger in her eyes seemed about to materialize.

An Lingyi's movements froze as she turned around and begged her, "Grandmother, granddaughter begs you to investigate this matter clearly. Granddaughter has never asked Qing Er to buy this Jade Guan Yin before, why would she do anything to her?"

As An Lingyi said this, his tears fell and she knelt on the ground. She looked pitiful and wronged, but the old mistress did not believe her.

"Guan Yin was bought by the maidservant beside you. You were the one who gave the wedding gift. You said that you didn't know about it at all. Are you trying to fool us all?"

From the time that Yu Guanyin bought it to her delivery, she had only passed it through the hands of the people around An Lingyi. The servants naturally did not have that kind of courage, the only ones who dared to mess with them was An Lingyi.

After searching again and again, he still managed to find Yi Er's body!

Aunt Li's face revealed some anxiety, she could not help but kneel down, "Old madam, don't you know what kind of person Yi Er is? It's absolutely impossible for her to do such a malicious thing. I hope you can let her have her innocence! "

Innocence? What need was there to be innocent?

Aunt Wei immediately stood up to support her.

"Aunt Li, since Third Miss has done something wrong, then let Third Miss Old Madem Xiang apologize. She is just a child that doesn't understand anything, don't tell me you don't know reason?"

The words of the Aunt Wei did not contain any intention to denounce An Lingyi. She only said that the Aunt Li did not know how to teach the child, which was why this happened.

In any case, An Lingyi was extremely impulsive, as long as she could defeat the Aunt Li, wouldn't that idiot be dealt with in just a few moves?

When Aunt Li saw her like this, the latter's eyes turned red and her eyes filled with malevolent intent.

"Yi Er did not do anything wrong, why is Aunt Wei doing this to her?"

Why? It was naturally for the grievances that she and Brother Yu had endured for so many years!

Aunt Wei's eyes flashed, with a tinge of joy in her eyes.

It was so easy for Brother Yu to have a chance to grow healthy. She absolutely could not watch the Aunt Li run rampant in the house, forcing the mother and son to have no place to stay.

Only by weakening the power of the Aunt Li and destroying her prestige would her Brother Yu would have a day to get out of this predicament.

But Aunt Wei would naturally not say what she thought.

She revealed a surprised look on her face, as if she did not expect the Aunt Li to still bite the bullet and not admit her mistake, "Aunt Li, everyone here is well aware of what happened. If Third Miss is able to admit her wrongs, the Old Mistress would not let this matter go. Now that the third young mistress refused to admit her mistakes, wouldn't that make the old mistress feel embarrassed? "This is the old mistress' birthday. To make the old lady happy, the third lady should also recognize her mistake so as to not ruin everyone's mood."

Aunt Wei said that An Lingyi was at fault, every single word made An Lingyi admit her wrong, although her demeanor was gentle, but the words were like knives stabbing into An Lingyi's body, causing her entire body to feel pain.

However, the madame's next words made her understand what pain really was.

"An Lingyi has no respect for her elders and still does not know how to repent. Today, I have asked for the family rules to teach her how to conduct herself properly, and what is called being loyal, filial, and virtuous!"

nanny Wu immediately sent someone to fetch the whip. It was used by the old king when he was fighting in the mountains with the late emperor.

"Madame, please do not!"

Aunt Li's face was deathly pale, and even her lips were trembling.

She really did not expect the old lady to be so determined to deal with An Lingyi. Was she not afraid that the Imperial Noble Consort Li would know about this?

"loves this niece dearly, if she were to ask about Yi Er the next time we enter the palace …" The old lady seemed like she was going to make nanny Wu take action in the next moment, causing the Aunt Li to become even more determined. His words carried a hint of threat, "Imperial Noble Consort Li dotes on Yi Er, and if she were to ask about Yi Er the next time we enter the palace …"

"If Imperial Noble Consort Li asks, then you can tell her. If she has any objections, then tell her to report my crimes to the empress dowager."

She didn't have a deep relationship with the madame, but the old prince had followed the late emperor and fought under the heavens, making great contributions to the kingdom. The empress dowager had to give her some face no matter what.

Moreover, she was punishing her own granddaughter. No matter how favoured the Imperial Noble Consort Li was, how could she control her to punish his granddaughter?

Seeing that she had brought him out of the Imperial Noble Consort Li, the Old Mistress did not budge an inch. The Aunt Li knew that there was no turning back, and begged the Old Mistress with a pale face, "It's because I didn't discipline her properly that such a thing happened. If you were to punish her, just do it to me, is still young, so she cannot take the punishment."

Aunt Li started to sob, her almond eyes were sparkling. She was so motherly that many of the wives couldn't bear to look at her.

What An Lingge wanted was precisely this kind of effect. She took a step forward, stood by the old lady's side, and advised, "What Aunt Li said makes sense. Third Sister is still young, if she were to be subjected to this family rule, then something might happen to him. Since Aunt Li is willing to bear the pain on her behalf, Grandmother will forgive her kind motherly heart. "

If they wanted to spare An Lingyi, the Aunt Li would have to be punished.

The Old Mistress pursed her lips and said after a while, "Then let Aunt Li take the three girls' place."

nanny Wu accepted the order and got someone to bring Aunt Li to the courtyard. She didn't intentionally avoid the ladies, and only made a hand gesture, then saw the guard's whip fall harshly, followed by a sharp and ear-piercing scream.

"It hurts just listening to it." The Aunt Wei sighed, and looked at An Lingyi as if advising him, "For the sake of the Third Young Miss' suffering, Third Young Miss should not act rashly in the future."

An Lingyi glared at Aunt Wei fiercely, the look in her eyes looked as though she could eat a person alive.
