The old maid said, "I just learned about this after the princess told me about it. I was very surprised. The lady of the county has been wronged for so many years. The princess is also very distressed..."

She described in detail how the old princess was heartbroken and how she cried until her two handkerchiefs were wet. Tang Shiyue naturally said, "It's not grandma's fault, it's just fate." This and that...

Then the old nanny probably felt that the atmosphere was about right, so she continued: "The princess said that since she is one of our family, we must take her back. The princess has already asked people to clean up Lixiang Courtyard. The county lady doesn't know that this is the best courtyard in the mansion. The princess also asked people to open the storehouse and take out the screen, which is worth a million dollars..."

She introduced the courtyard and the old princess's intentions, and then finally got to the point:

"Regarding what happened a few days ago, Wu Niang really went too far. The princess said that she would definitely seek justice for the Lady of the County... As for matricide, that absolutely did not happen. Wu Niang has an impatient temper and it is possible that she made a mistake during the argument. The Lady of the County must not misunderstand."

Yan Tingyue is the fifth child in the mansion, so she is usually called Wu Niang at home. But why does it feel a little wrong when she is also called Wu Niang at this time?

Tang Shiyue stopped laughing and listened quietly.

Seeing her expression, the old nanny was a little frightened and didn't dare to say any more nonsense.

So she said, "What the princess meant is that the discord between the sisters will damage the reputation of the palace and will be laughed at by outsiders! Fortunately, the county lady is a family member and it is easy to talk behind closed doors. For now, why not follow the rumors outside and pretend that the second wife gave birth to twins, but one was weaker, so she was sent out to be raised. Now that she has been taken in, she will naturally recognize her ancestors. I also ask the county lady to put aside the past grudges for the sake of the kindness of the elders and call Wu Niang "sister". When we return home, the two sisters will get along well and there is no need to mention the previous misunderstandings..."

Tang Shiyue looked at her in disbelief.

...

...

She felt something was wrong the moment she heard about the "sister discord", but she didn't expect her to say such a thing.

It's not surprising that the old princess wants to use the excuse of "family" to make things clear. This is almost inevitable, but... sisters falling out? Twins? Calling Yan Tingyue sister? Getting along well?

There was also a hint of threat in her tone, meaning that if she didn't acknowledge Yan Tingyue as her sister, she would have no chance of entering Prince An's Mansion.

Tang Shiyue really suspected that she had heard it wrong.

This can't be explained by stupidity or toxicity, it really doesn't make sense, okay? !

In fact, once the truth is revealed, it becomes easier to deal with.

Because the ancients attached great importance to blood ties, Yan Tingyue was not a member of the Yan family. As long as the news was announced to the public, it would become much easier for both the higher-ups to handle it and the external parties to deal with it, and the impact on the family could be minimized.

Even if she really loved Yan Tingyue, she could take care of her, compensate her, and let her live a good life afterwards.

That's the most we can do.

But she was not like that. Not only did she want to save Yan Tingyue's life, she also wanted to keep Yan Tingyue's status as a noble lady in the palace under such circumstances. She even wanted to force her to make up for Yan Tingyue's reputation...

This is simply a fantasy!

You know, the conflict between the two has already been resolved after the imperial decree was issued. This is definitely not something that can be whitewashed!

This is equivalent to not taking the ready-made path, but dragging the entire family and the whole mansion together, taking huge risks, expending all efforts, and damaging one's reputation, just for Yan Tingyue alone.

It seemed as if everyone in this mansion except Yan Tingyue was not a human.

What kind of touching grandparent-grandchild relationship is this?

Tang Shiyue immediately became furious.

She stood up suddenly, sneered and said to the nanny: "Let her dream! Go back and tell her to control the water in her head! I don't want to be related to the beast who killed her mother, tell her to get as far away as possible! Don't get in my way!"

The old lady was stunned.

Someone came in after the curtain was pulled open, and said sullenly, "What nonsense are you talking about! Who are you, my father?"

Linlang Weibo quickly knelt down to greet him, and called him "Your Majesty".

The old lady was startled and rushed forward to greet him.

Tang Shiyue also bowed and complained angrily: "Aye, this is not my fault, that old woman is simply insane!"

Emperor Ming Yan and the Imperial Noble Consort came in. Emperor Ming Yan held her with one hand and reached out to test the temperature of her forehead.

Then the Imperial Concubine gave a signal, and Linlang took the old nanny out.

Emperor Mingyan sat down and said, "No matter what others say, you must be careful in what you say and do, and don't let others catch you!"

Tang Shiyue was speechless.

The Imperial Concubine held her in her arms and sat her down, gently patting her mouth: "If I see you talking like this again, I'll have someone sew your mouth shut! That Yan Tingyue is a beast, why are you angry with her!"

Tang Shiyue said angrily, "I don't care about her anymore! I'm just angry. Why do some people always take Aye's kindness as their shameless capital? Aye has repeatedly shown favors and always considered the interests of Prince An's Mansion, but these people are greedy and want more! If someone has to be the bad guy, then I'll be the bad guy, so what!"

The Imperial Concubine was surprised: "What on earth did she say? Why did she make me, Yue'er, so angry?"

Tang Shiyue gestured, and Wei Bo quickly repeated what the old lady had just said.

The Imperial Concubine was also speechless.

Emperor Ming Yan lowered his eyes for a while, then suddenly sneered, "Yuer is right, this old woman is really confused." He didn't know what he was thinking of, and his expression suddenly became a little happy. He called Gu Jiuxing, "Send Liu Cheng here to draft the decree!"

When Gu Jiuxing went to convey the imperial edict, the atmosphere in Prince An's mansion could only be described as tense.

Yan Tingyue attempted to kill her mother, but the old princess still wanted to protect her. No matter how filial Yan Chengyuan was, he couldn't stand it.

Yan Shirui and Yan Shitu were even more furious and had a quarrel with the old princess that night.

The old princess sent a nanny to the Lady's residence in private.

What was her plan? She thought that as long as she could convince Tang Shiyue first, and Tang Shiyue would not care, then others would naturally be easy to deal with. As for Meng Min, she was her daughter-in-law, could she really turn the tables?

When Yan Chengyuan got the news, he became unusually furious.

When Yan Shirui and his brother arrived, they could still hear him questioning the old princess: "Aren't my elder brother and I your sons? Aren't Wei'er and Rui'er your grandchildren? Yue'er has suffered so much while living among the common people, shouldn't she be compensated? In mother's heart, are all of us inferior to Yan Tingyue alone?"

Yan Shirui walked in hurriedly, not caring about the elders in the room, and said coldly: "Grandmother, you are gambling the lives and property of everyone in the mansion on Yan Tingyue's wealth. Have you ever asked us what we think? I also have a wife and children, and I don't want to gamble! Moreover, this beast tried to kill his mother. Such a crazy person, grandma still wants to protect him. This can't be explained by love... Grandson really has to suspect that there is something unknown in this!"

The old princess shuddered.

She slammed the table and said angrily, "Enough! Enough! You guys are ganging up on me and trying to force me to death! If it weren't for Tang Shiyue, that troublemaker, there wouldn't be so many problems! She hasn't even arrived yet, but she's already turned our palace upside down! I'm making this clear today, if she wants to recognize her ancestry, she must recognize Tingyue as a twin! Otherwise, that wild girl, don't even think about setting foot in the palace!"
