When Mrs. An heard the news, she just sneered twice and didn't say anything.
Anyway, there have always been undercurrents in the entire An Mansion, but on the surface it is still calm and no one wants to mention this matter again.
Lian Jinrong and An Yanran sat opposite each other. The mother and daughter were silent for a long while. Finally, An Yanran spoke up, "My cousin didn't come in person to deliver the betrothal gifts. I guess he's angry with us. Maybe my words were also spread to Prince Kang's Mansion..."
Lian Jinrong came to her senses after hearing this: "No wonder, it's all my fault. I should have gone to their house in person to explain this matter to them. I don't know if I can clear up the misunderstanding Ye'er had about me before he left. I think I made it clear in the letter..."
"Did you mention the truth of the matter in the letter you sent to Concubine Shu?"
"Of course, this matter was all An Qingran's fault, so of course I told the truth!" Lian Jinrong was so angry that her face turned pale.
After that incident, she wrote a letter directly to Concubine Shu, saying that An Yanran was also murdered, and that Prince Kang had misunderstood them. That day, An Yanran and An Qingran were supposed to receive female guests together. When the two of them were drinking tea, An Yanran was tricked by An Qingran, and then she received a note from Prince Kang, asking her to meet at Wangfeng Tower. She attached the note to the letter and said that An Yanran definitely did not make an appointment with Dongfang Ye, and the note he received was written by someone else, which could be seen from the handwriting. She wanted them to know the truth of the matter. An Yanran was just young and scared, so she pushed the matter onto Prince Kang. She had regretted it a long time ago, and they should not blame them, etc...
After receiving the letter, Concubine Shu read it carefully and asked Prince Kang to show her the note he had received. However, she did not expect that Prince Kang had already torn the note into pieces and thrown it away.
So, it cannot prove what they said.
But it is an explanation after all.
After receiving the letter, Concubine Shu thought a lot. She was half-believing and half-doubting about what they said about An Qingran. If Lian Jinrong said that it was Lian Jinyu's fault, she could completely believe it. After all, An Qingran was just a child. How capable could she be?
How could she be so thoughtful?
She had seen her at the general's mansion. She looked like a dignified lady from a noble family. The more she looked at her, the more she felt that she was steady and lovely, and that she would be a perfect daughter-in-law.
But who knew that such a big change would happen suddenly? How could she frame An Yanran?
Why did she frame her own sister?
Obviously, if she really did this, it would prove that she had no interest in King Kang at all!
No matter whether she likes Prince Kang or not, she must not like the Crown Prince!
She had heard about what happened before. She had been with the prince for so long in Yuehua Temple, and she didn't know if they had any contact. If so, what was the meaning of her action? Was it the prince's intention?
The more Concubine Shu thought about it, the less she cared about the affairs of Lian Jinrong and her daughter. If An Yanran wanted to enter Prince Kang's mansion, then she could do so. As for An Qingran, she had some other ideas.
So she Xuan An entered the palace.
Lian Jinrong felt very complicated after hearing this. She told An Yanran that maybe Concubine Shu believed what they said, so she might avenge them.
When An Qingran suddenly heard Concubine Shu inviting her, she was also shocked.
This was something she had never expected.
Lian Jinyu was also puzzled. Since Prince Kang had given a betrothal gift to An Yanran, why did he come to invite An Qingran?
Now, it was a time of great trouble, and she had her doubts in her heart, and she wanted to accompany her to the palace.
An Qingran thought for a moment and said, "Mother, I didn't do anything against my will. She asked me to go, so I went. I want to see what she wants to say. I think it won't be because of anything else. It's probably about the matter between Prince Kang and An Yanran. An Yanran framed me, and Concubine Shu must have known about it..."
"This is not a big deal, how can you do it alone?"
"It's better to have one person!" An Qingran smiled, "Let them see what a kid like me can do."
She said self-deprecatingly.
Lian Jinyu was still worried, so she accompanied him all the way to the outside of the imperial city and waited there, while Ren Anqingran went in by himself.
When An Qingran met Concubine Shu, she was drinking tea. There were a few exquisite small cakes on the table.
Seeing her come in, she smiled and waved: "Come and sit down, no need to greet..."
An Qingran still bowed before standing up and sat down next to the chair: "I wonder what instructions your Majesty has for summoning me to the palace?"
Concubine Shu did not say anything. She first moved the things in front of her and said with a smile, "Come, try it!"
An Qingran symbolically pinched a piece and put it in her mouth.
Concubine Shu was lying lazily on the chaise longue with a smile on her face. She looked both noble and kind.
She's just a very kind and beautiful lady.
Finally she spoke: "Everyone knows that the eldest daughter of the general's mansion is dignified and quiet. Looking at her like this, her temperament is even more outstanding, and ordinary people can't match her!"
An Qingran was stunned when she heard this. What was this?
I can't help but say: "That's everyone's love..."
"I think what everyone said makes sense. Privately, I also think that if you could enter our Prince Kang's Mansion, it would be a blessing for Ye'er!" Concubine Shu smiled very sincerely, as if she really liked An Qingran very much.
An Qingran's heart trembled when she heard this!
She entered Prince Kang’s mansion?
Yes, it’s not like she hasn’t been there before. That was indeed a blessing for Dongfang Ye, but a disaster for her!
Looking at the familiar face of Concubine Shu, the anger that she had deliberately suppressed in her heart kept rising up again. In her previous life, she pretended to be a good person in front of her, but secretly she was at odds with Lian Jinrong and her daughter. Didn't she think she didn't know?
So, she smiled and changed the subject: "Prince Kang is going to marry Sister Yanran, this is a good thing, but I haven't congratulated him yet!"
Hearing her talk about Yanran, Concubine Shu's expression did not look good. She sighed, "Speaking of this matter, everyone knows about it. Naturally, I am not afraid of you making fun of me. Although Yanran is also good-looking, after all, the matter between her and Ye'er has been spread as a joke by everyone, which makes us lose face. I never thought that she could do such a thing. But she is unjust, and we in the Kangwang Mansion cannot be unreasonable. We must also bear the responsibility that Ye'er should bear! However, Ye'er and I have also talked about it privately. Qingran, you are our best candidate. What do you think?"
An Qingran was extremely surprised, she never expected that Concubine Shu would talk to her directly about this matter, and shortly after choosing An Yanran!
They don't really think highly of themselves, they just think the General's Mansion is good for them!
