The madame sat leisurely on the purple chair carved with Blue Luan Peony. Her eyes were half closed and her expression was serene. The maidservant beside her was carefully massaging her back.

"Go call Aunt Wei over."

The old lady who seemed to be sleeping suddenly spoke, nanny Wu understood her meaning, and left after nodding.

nanny Wu was not young, but her legs and feet were nimble. She walked into the courtyard of the Aunt Wei and smiled as she invited people over.

"Aunt Wei, our old lady misses you. Please come over."

The smile on her face was sincere and fervent. Aunt Wei knew that the Old Mistress was in a good mood.

After thinking for a moment, the Aunt Wei put on the jade bracelet that the old mistress had bestowed to her, and then followed behind Wu nanny.

"I pay my respects to the madame." When they arrived at Qingfeng Courtyard, she gave a gentle bow.

The Old Mistress opened her eyes and saw her expression, she was even more satisfied with Aunt Wei.

"Aunt Wei, you should know about what happened on the birthday. What do you think?"

This question came as a surprise to Aunt Wei, but she quickly reacted with a respectful and humble smile, "Old madam's words really lifted me up. I'm just an aunt, how can I tell you what to do about Third Young Miss?"

"If I tell you to say it, then say it directly." The old mistress knew that she was rejecting his offer. Her old eyes were sharp, as if she could see through his little thoughts.

Aunt Wei no longer tried to feign ignorance, and looked a little troubled. "I think this matter is fishy."

The madame raised her eyebrows but said nothing. She just signaled with her eyes for her to continue.

"When Third Miss took out her birthday present, she shouted out that it wasn't something she prepared. Aunt Li also said that the Third Miss specially designed this event to give you a pleasant surprise. But when Guan Yin cried and was dragged into the Third Miss' embrace, the maidservant beside her brought out the Third Miss, it didn't seem to make sense. "

Most of the servants and nanny s around the masters were loyal, and even those that were promoted did not betray them.

This was exactly what the Old Mistress was suspecting. Her gaze swept across Aunt Wei with a profound look, "Is that all you have to say?"

"No." The Aunt Wei knelt down, "Old madam, this matter was my doing."

She admitted it cleanly, which surprised the madame. "Oh, tell me what's going on."

Aunt Wei did not tell her about An Lingge, she only said that she sensed that there was something wrong with her actions, as if she was planning to frame An Lingge.

For the sake of Princess An's kindness back then, she naturally had to protect Eldest Miss.

Coincidentally, that Qing Er was one of her people, so she found out about Aunt Li's Mother and Mother's scheme.

"This is my fault. I am willing to accept the punishment from the madame."

Aunt Wei openly admitted that even if she was to kneel on the ground, her expression was still as clear as day.

The old mistress laughed, not at all berating her. "Get up. How could I not know what you've done?"

Although she had just returned to the prince's mansion, she had previously been in charge of the mansion for dozens of years. The elders of this mansion all knew who their true master was, so they naturally knew who to serve.

When Aunt Wei just sent Qing Er, she received the news.

"You know all about the madame?" Aunt Wei's eyes were filled with surprise, "Then you even dealt with Aunt Li …"

"I'm going to deal with her." "She is just a small concubine and doesn't know how to behave. It's fine if she holds the authority of the estate, but she doesn't even put me in her eyes. Last time she plotted against Little Ge, and dared to cry in front of Boss, but this time I'll let her see whether Boss will avenge her or not. "

An Yingcheng was a filial son, he had only talked back to the old lady for the sake of the Aunt Li not long ago, and he definitely did not feel good about it.

Moreover, today was the birthday of the madame, yet An Lingyi made a bloody and teary image of Guan Yin to curse the madame. No matter how much he felt for Aunt Li and An Lingyi, he wouldn't stand up for them.

The corners of Aunt Wei's mouth curled up, and then she quickly suppressed it. On the surface, she revealed a look of extreme fear, "This matter was caused by me, the Aunt Li.

"I was going to punish you." When the Old Mistress said this, it gave Aunt Wei a fright. When he understood what was going on, he heaved a sigh of relief.

The madame had intended to punish her, meaning that she had changed her mind and turn a blind eye to the matter.

What Eldest Miss said was right. The madame was not as ignorant as she appeared to be. She was shrewd in her heart.

Fortunately, the eldest miss had told him not to hide it from the madame. Otherwise, he would have lost the madame's trust. Perhaps, he would live a worse life than before.

At the same time, she was shocked at An Lingge's wisdom.

An Lingge seemed to have already known that the Old Granny would notice this, and that she would think this way, to the point where he even explained how she would do things. With this kind of intelligence, she didn't look like a fifteen-year-old girl, even the old ladies who had been in the house for more than ten years might not have this kind of scheme.

However, the more powerful An Lingge was, the unluckier Aunt Li would be.

A thought flashed in Aunt Wei's mind, she then revealed a puzzled look, "Since I made such a mistake, aren't you going to pursue the matter, madame?"

The Old Mistress' gaze fell upon the jade-green bangle and she smiled, "The reason I'm giving this bangle to you is because I hope that you can take on the role of Princess An."

"I dare not!" Before the old mistress could finish her words, Aunt Wei had already knelt down, her face was filled with fear, "I am just a servant who was born to be the prince's concubine, and am also highly regarded by the old mistress. I have already been blessed by you for a thousand years, how can I dare to shoulder the responsibilities of the Princess An?"

However, the madame reached out her hand to help her up, "Princess An can teach this restless aunt a lesson, it's to let the backyard be peaceful and quiet, to let the household be at peace. But a struggle between concubines is no use. It would only mess up the backyard and allow others to see a joke. "

Her words had a profound meaning. As long as Aunt Wei could become the Princess An, she would not care about what happened today. Otherwise, the Aunt Wei would also be punished.

The Aunt Wei looked hesitant. After a moment, she said with a wry smile, "But this one's born in a lowly place and not someone that the Duke would like. How could I become a wangfei?"

The old lady knew that the Aunt Wei was shaken, and smiled kindly, "Good child, you do not have to worry about this matter."

It would not be difficult at all for Aunt Wei to become an imperial concubine.
