Chu really didn't know, she just knew that she was very depressed now, maybe it was related to An Zhongyuan's official position? When she thought of this, she felt that even she was wrong, and she didn't dare to ask any more.

The old lady waved to An Ranyue: "Come and sit down too..."

An Ranyue smiled and sat down next to the old lady. The old lady held her hand and sighed: "In two years, you will get married, and it will not be easy to stay in Prince Kang's Mansion..."

When Mrs. Chu heard her bring up this topic, she sighed. No mother wants to face the moment of marrying off their daughter. Fortunately, her daughter married King Kang, but as a concubine, she had no choice but to share a husband with An Yanran. That girl was not someone to be trifled with.

"Grandma, it's still early, there are still two years." An Ranyue said with a smile.

The old lady sighed: "I don't know if I can live for another two years."

"Why does grandma say that?"

"Forget it, you are young and don't understand. I feel uneasy living in this general's mansion. After all, it is someone else's territory. I don't know when it will be in our hands. Others are easy to deal with, but I think An Qingran is difficult to deal with. Have you forgotten? On her birthday, how many royal princes gave her expensive gifts, including the crown prince, the prince of Shou, and the prince of Kang. Ranyue, I am worried about you now. If the prince of Kang wants to marry An Qingran, I am afraid you will suffer after you marry her."

An Ranyue was reminded of this matter again, and her heart was truly hurt. She and An Yanran thought of many ways, but An Qingran never left the house, so they had no chance to implement them.

Mrs. Chu also nodded: "Indeed, we don't know who she will choose, but no one has proposed marriage yet. I'm really afraid that if anyone comes to propose marriage, you will be overshadowed. We only have one daughter, so what chance do we have of turning the tables? And Mingbo can't decide on anyone now. I'm worried all day long..."

Mrs. Chu's face was full of black lines. She didn't expect that the reason why the old lady was angry was that her family was not doing well.

Chu smiled and said, "She hasn't made her choice yet, so we still have a chance."

The old lady nodded: "Yes, but we have to hurry up."

Chu didn't understand what she was planning, she just stayed with her and talked for a long time. Only when a smile appeared on the old lady's face did they leave.

As soon as she left the yard, Chu began to sigh.

An Ranyue felt that as a daughter, An Qingran had always been working hard to make Lian Jinyu proud, but she had ended up like this, and she felt a little inferior.

But I was too embarrassed to say this out loud. I just felt uncomfortable inside but didn't know who to tell.

The weather was getting warmer day by day, and spring was approaching, but she didn't feel any warmth in her heart.

Chu was also confused. In fact, according to her original intention, it would be good enough to be able to eat and live here. There was no need to insist on the general's mansion. However, she did not expect her mother-in-law to be so insistent. It really made her feel strange.

They are both sons, but she is too partial to them.

The old lady wrote a letter and had it delivered, and then she became quiet.

In fact, she had made a very careful calculation.

The people in the general's mansion didn't know what was going on and were still busy with their own things.

Lian Jinyu didn't know where to start with her husband's affairs, and she was upset. Fortunately, An Mingchen was there to comfort her, and An Qingran seemed very confident, which made her feel relieved.

Lian Jinrong took this opportunity to make a comeback, because Lian Jinyu had a child and it was not convenient for her to serve An Zhongtao. In addition, An Zhongtao had not found a satisfactory person in the general's mansion for so many days. Although those concubines wanted to get promoted, they were petty-minded and didn't know where to start. Lian Jinrong came out again, and they were still afraid of her. She was even more cunning than the mistress of the house.

Therefore, he did not dare to compete with her for favor.

Lian Jinrong put on the clothes she wore when she was young that day, and knocked on the door of the study with shoes, socks and other things in her arms. When An Zhongtao saw it was her, he didn't show any special expression.

"These are the new shoes and socks I made. All along, I made the general's shoes and socks myself..." Lian Jinrong looked very proud. "Now that my sister has Mingchen to take care of, she can't take good care of the general. I'm late."

She stood there with a smile on her face. Because she had maintained herself well, her figure was still like that of a little girl. Coupled with the lavender dress, she looked a lot younger.

An Zhongtao couldn't help but think of the scene when she first entered the mansion, and his heart softened. He nodded: "It's hard for you to be so thoughtful."

"General, Qingming Festival is coming soon. Will today's ancestor worship be the same as in previous years? Is there anything you want me to arrange?"

"Well, I'll discuss it with Jinyu first. If I need you, I'll tell you then." An Zhongtao chose his words carefully.

Lian Jinrong was already very happy. It was only a matter of time before she could reappear in front of everyone and be favored again. What if Lian Jinyu was beautiful? What if she gave birth to a son? She didn't understand men at all.

And she understands.

So she lowered her head and said shyly: "The general has been very tired these days. I have cooked a table of dishes to nourish the general. I wonder if the general will go to Lan Xiao Pavilion."

"You go back first, and we'll talk after I'm done with my work." An Zhongtao sat back at his desk.

Lian Jinrong turned around and went back, sitting at the table and waiting, but it was late at night and no one from the general had come yet. The news from Qiaojie was that the general had gone to the East Warm Pavilion. Lian Jinrong looked at the food on the table, her face stiff. After changing her expression several times, she finally smiled: "Everyone must be hungry, I'll scatter these foods as a reward for you..."

The maids and servants were naturally happy and went downstairs to eat.

Lian Jinrong sat there and smiled. Now was the time when she needed to keep calm. She would not give anyone any handle to attack her.

When Shen Biyun went to An Zhongtao's study, she saw the shoes and socks on the table and was a little puzzled. However, she handed over the shoes in her hand: "Cousin, I have been taking care of Yaozu these days and have nothing to do. I made a pair of shoes but I don't know if they will fit my feet. If you don't mind..."

An Zhongtao smiled and said, "How is Yaozu? If you want anything else to eat, just tell the housekeeper."

"Thank you, cousin. The child has a picky taste and has liked to eat ice for a while. Although the doctor forbids him to eat it, I can't stop him. I found that after fulfilling his wish, he felt better and recovered faster. Now he can walk. He just needs to wait a few more days for a full recovery."

"Well, it's good to recover..."
