"I'm threatening you with death, not to threaten you or to make you feel bad, but to mourn for me for three years. You should put aside the fame and honor for now. The position of general cannot be vacant for a day. Who do you think will take your place? When you come back, will he still give up the position to you?"
So cruel.
It's really a case of both sides being destroyed.
But her death only brought back three years of uncertainty.
An Zhongtao’s general’s mansion will not be allowed out.
An Zhongtao was so angry at her that his face turned pale and he could hardly speak.
An Qingran suddenly spoke up, "Madam, you may have forgotten one thing. My father has been in mourning for three years, and so has my uncle. He just came to the capital and is only a small fifth-rank official. I don't know if this fifth-rank position will still exist after three years of mourning. You must think it over before you act."
The old lady was so angry at what she said that she couldn't think of any words to refute.
An Zhongtao secretly admired his daughter's intelligence.
"Father, it's getting late now. We should let the old lady think about it carefully..." An Qingran hinted to her father to leave quickly. Before she threw a tantrum, they should leave first and then consider the matter in detail.
Of course, she still has to clean up the mess, and it is really important that this matter does not get out.
The father and daughter walked out of the yard, and An Zhongtao sighed: "I never thought that things would turn out like this..."
An Qingran's mouth corners turned down. She hadn't expected this, but the more she investigated, the more frightened she became. If possible, she really hoped that this incident had never happened, so that her father wouldn't be so sad.
An Zhongtao looked up at the sky. The dark clouds had not yet dispersed and the lights in the distance were still on. This night, many people were destined to remain awake.
"Father, it happened, we just need to deal with it. That happened forty years ago, we have no power to undo anything..."
"Yes, but daughter, how did you come up with the idea? Your father has never thought about it in this regard. Fortunately, you are here..." The praise in these words made An Qingran's heart warm. Her father seldom praised her, so his praise was particularly precious.
"It was just a premonition, but I didn't expect it to be true... It was also because Mingchen was murdered that I remembered all this, but I don't want all of this to be true."
An Zhongtao doesn't want that either.
He just sighed and said, "It has already happened. You should go back and rest. This night has been enough for you."
"Well, father, don't be too sad. Things have happened and we can only deal with them as they come..."
"Yes, but how do you think this matter should be handled?" An Zhongtao asked casually.
An Qingran didn't expect her father to consider her opinion. She suppressed her pride and said, "We can't let our general's mansion let the old lady stay here any longer. We should send her away without leaving any trace, and then let her live out her days..."
An Zhongtao nodded slightly. This coincided with his thoughts. It seemed that his daughter was still kind-hearted. As for what the old lady said just now, he felt that they were all her words of jealousy and hatred and did not care at all.
An Qingran finally returned to her own courtyard, and Ren Dong greeted her: "Miss, you are finally back. I have distributed all the silver according to your instructions, and the two mothers-in-law Zhang and Huang have been sent away by cars. Not many people saw it, but I didn't see any trace of the people sent by the prince..."
"We don't have to worry about his people. This matter is finally over..." An Qingran sighed.
"Miss, has the old lady admitted it?"
"She did everything. She can't deny it even if she wants to. But the result is just as expected from the beginning. It's really sad..."
"What was the final result? Will the old lady continue to stay here?"
"It's not over yet. Things won't be over for a while. I don't know what tricks she has up her sleeve, but that's something the general should consider... Now, I just want to have a good sleep." An Qingran stretched.
She really had a very deep sleep, and it was almost noon when she woke up.
As soon as she woke up, Rendong came forward and told her that the lady knew that she had been worried recently and sent her some tonic soup.
Looking at the bowl of ginseng and wolfberry soup, An Qingran's tiredness was swept away, and his heart was filled with sunshine again. It's great to have a mother as a child.
Just thinking about this makes me feel sorry for my father.
Beiyuan.
The old lady was sitting in the room, while Min'er and other maids were kneeling on the floor. They slept soundly last night and didn't know what had happened. Early this morning, the old lady asked all of them to kneel there. They were still dizzy and didn't seem to have woken up yet.
In fact, they didn't know that they were poisoned by incense last night.
Except for the old lady, all the people were knocked down by the people sent by the prince, so no one noticed despite the huge commotion.
The old lady did not sleep all night, and she seemed to have aged ten years overnight.
She sat there, looking gloomy.
There were scissors at hand, and I didn't know what she was going to do.
If they knew she wanted to commit suicide, they wouldn't be so relaxed.
Fang came in the morning. She was startled when she came in: "Aunt, what happened? Did they make you angry?"
The old lady looked at her: "You are here..."
"Yes, the weather is very good today, and the sun is shining brightly outside. But why is there so much water in Auntie's yard? Did it rain last night? It's strange that our yard is dry."
That was probably because of the cold wind last night.
The old lady curled her lips: "Nothing, do you have something to do?"
"I just came to pay my respects to my aunt. I just came back from the front yard and saw them cleaning the yard. They also said that they were preparing people to clean up the North Garden. Are they chasing us away?" Fang felt a little aggrieved when she thought of this.
It's not that she is overly suspicious. She lives in someone else's house, and whenever there is a little disturbance, she will think of herself.
When the old lady heard this, her eyebrows stood up, her lips trembled, and she didn't say a word.
When Fang saw this, she thought that she was probably right. "So, they really want to drive us away. If that's the case, then we can just stay in a hotel and avoid having to look at their faces."
"When will the results be announced?" the old lady finally spoke. If Zhihua could get a good rank, it would make her proud.
Maybe it will be helpful to Zhongyuan in the future.
"We have to wait two more days, but Zhihua said that he is very confident about this exam." Fang smiled, "But I didn't expect that we would cause trouble to our relatives..."
"Just stay here. They won't chase you away." The old lady said, "Besides, whether they clean up Beiyuan or not has nothing to do with you. Don't associate it with you..."
