But why could she treat her children so cruelly when she clearly had feelings for them?

As if understanding what she was thinking, An Tingyu continued, "I am a person who knows how to repay kindness. Feng Beijian has rescued me many times, and I will naturally keep his kindness in my heart. However, this does not mean that others can do whatever they want to me. Your daughter cannot be favored, so what does this have to do with me? I didn't beg for Long Xunyi to favor me, nor did I seduce him, and there is nothing wrong between us. If Concubine Feng doesn't know how to judge the extent, then she will probably lose more in the future because she is marrying a man who already has three thousand beauties."

Old Lady Feng avenged her children, and although her methods were a bit cruel, she was a good mother. However, being a good mother does not mean she is a good person. At least when it comes to poisoning others, Old Lady Feng is a vicious woman. If it weren't for the fact that Feng Beijian had rescued her many times and done her a favor, she would have accused Old Lady Feng in the palace long ago.

"But the emperor neglected to appoint Consort Feng because of you. This is always the fact, right?" Although Madam Feng knew that what An Tingyu said made sense, she became angry when she thought of her daughter's sad look.

"So what if it's true? If she can't even stand this, she shouldn't have married such a man in the first place." An Tingyu snorted coldly and said indifferently.

She had no control over what Long Xunyi decided to do, but if he took his anger out on her, she would not agree.

Madam Feng opened her mouth, but couldn't find the words to refute.

Seeing that she remained silent, An Tingyu continued, "I can pretend that nothing happened this time, but don't think that I'm just putting a pretty vase on display. If it happens again, even if you are Feng Beijian's mother, I will not let you go."

After saying that, An Tingyu walked away, but before she entered the palace gate, she heard another pair of footsteps behind her. She thought that Old Madam Feng had followed her again, but listening to the slightly heavy footsteps, she didn't think it was the sound of a woman.

An Tingyu suddenly turned around and saw Feng Beijian standing not far from her.

An Tingyu glanced at him calmly, then sat down on a stone pier nearby. "If you're talking about similarities, then there's no need to say anything."

"I just wanted to say thank you and sorry!"

Listening to his words, An Tingyu knew that he must have heard her conversation with Old Madam Feng just now, and he also knew who was the master of the piano keys.

"This is the last time. Whether it's to confer the title of Imperial Concubine on you or to your mother, this is my last concession. You'd better tell them these words as well." An Tingyu raised her sharp eyes slightly, a hint of sharpness and edge flashed across her eyes.

Everyone's tolerance is limited. Because Feng Beijian has done her a favor, she has made concessions again and again. However, she has reached her bottom line for such endless humility. So if there is a next time, no matter who Feng Beijian is, she will not be merciful anymore.

"Okay, I understand!" Feng Beijian nodded.

"Do you want to go back now? Let me take you there!" Feng Beijian said again.

An Tingyu shook her head. "No need. Shanshu is waiting for me up ahead. I can go back by myself."

Her main purpose today was to meet Long Feikuang. Now that her goal has been achieved, she can naturally end this boring banquet.

But Feng Beijian was different. He came with his parents, and he probably hadn't said goodbye to Long Xunyi yet! It would be against etiquette to just leave like that, because he was a subject.

"You've just been with him recently. Is he really just a guard who has done you a favor?" For some reason, he always had a familiar feeling about the man named Shanshu. However, according to An Tingyu, he had never met Shanshu before, so logically he should not have that kind of feeling. But he just thought so.

"If it's not a guard, could it be my brother or my father? He is similar to Dang Yan, both are trustworthy people, but Dang Yan has been busy with a lot of things lately and can't always stay by my side. Of course, it doesn't matter if there are no guards, but grandpa and the others are worried, so we had to let Shan Shu stay, but..." An Tingyu paused at this point and continued: "Do you have any opinion of him?"

Not many people knew Shanshu's identity, but Feng Beijian had some cooperative relationship with 'Fu Mo' in the past, and the two were familiar with each other, so An Tingyu had to be wary of Feng Beijian's suspicion.

"It's not that I have any objections, it's just... forget it, it's not a big deal. You should go back and rest first! Just now, mother... you shouldn't be feeling well now, right?" After all, she was poisoned. Although I know that she is fine now and must have secretly taken some antidote, it should be difficult for her to recover in a short time!

Hearing this, An Tingyu immediately knew what Feng Beijian was thinking, but she did not refute Feng Beijian's words. She just nodded and left.

After leaving the palace, Shanshu sent An Tingyu back to the An Mansion. Entering Zhuchun Pavilion, Shanshu asked doubtfully, "Is it really okay to leave like this? Half of your purpose today was to see him."

This "he", "Shanshu" has two meanings, one refers to Jing Aotian, the other refers to Long Feikuang. But An Tingyu didn't stay in the palace for too long today. Wouldn't it be a pity if she left like this?

Thinking he was only referring to Long Feikuang, An Tingyu said calmly: "No rush, just meet him. Besides, there are so many people here today, it's not suitable for chatting, so just meeting him once is good enough. The next time we meet, you'll have a reason to say hello or something else. As long as you find an excuse, it will be fine."
