After Fang finished what she wanted to say, she wanted to sit down, but seeing the atmosphere in the room, she did not sit down, but left directly.
I was still wondering when I returned to my yard.
Qiaojie came up and asked: "Mother, have you gone to see your aunt?"
"Yeah, why do you ask?"
It was obvious that Qiaojie had something to say in her eyes.
"Mother, I just heard An Yanran say that something happened last night, and it was a big deal." When Qiaojie said this, she let Fang into the house.
"What's the big deal?" Fang smiled, "I just went to your aunt's yard... By the way, she looks very different."
"I heard An Yanran say that this matter must be kept secret, so she took the risk to find out. She said that the old lady and the first wife had a falling out, and she wanted the first wife to give up the general's mansion. General An naturally refused to give in, and said that the old lady planned to kill herself. I'm afraid this matter will get bigger and bigger, and it will not end well."
"So that's how it is. No wonder. How can I explain this? She wants An Zhongtao to give up the General's Mansion. It shouldn't be a momentary decision. Then she still wants us to marry An Qingran. Really..." Fang thought of her own interests first.
An Yanran did know the truth of the matter, but she couldn't tell it out loud because if everything was true, her father would lose the general's mansion and she would lose her status.
In fact, there was a moment when she wanted to fight to the death, not letting An Qingran be well, but the imperial decree had already come down, and she was afraid that it would have no effect on her. It was different for herself. She was born out of wedlock, and An Ranyue was the legitimate daughter. If her father became a bastard...
So, she released the news, just saying how confused the old lady was, and never mentioned anything else. This was also her cleverness.
As expected, Qiaojie passed the news back. Fang was indeed angry, but it had no effect on the development of the matter.
At the same time, Chu also received news that the old lady was going to commit suicide.
It was Min'er who told her.
She is on grounding.
But An Zhongyuan went to court, so she forced her family to release her.
East warm room.
Lian Jinyu's face was very ugly. She looked at An Qingran: "Qingran, why didn't you tell me about this before? The old lady actually wanted to harm my son..."
An Qingran smiled and said, "Mother, firstly, the evidence of this matter has been destroyed, and I have no way to identify grandmother. Secondly, I am afraid that mother will be as depressed as she is now, and have no way to relieve it. It is better for her to know that everything is done by her. Mother can condemn her if she wants to. Of course, the old lady is determined to die now, and she will not say anything good. I advise mother not to provoke her. She is an old lady who doesn't even want to live, what else can she care about? We have to think of ways to hide this matter..."
Lian Jinyu felt much calmer when she saw her daughter being so calm. "Why didn't you inform me last night? It was you and your father who were playing tricks on me and kept me in the dark."
"What happened yesterday was a bit risky, and I don't know what the result will be. Wouldn't it be better to wait until the result comes out before telling mother? Mother, you know, I was frozen last night. There was ice all around, it was very cold."
"What will we do in the future? Did your father tell us?" Lian Jinyu was more concerned about this. "If she is still in this yard, I am afraid I will feel a lump in my chest and worry about whether Mingchen will be hurt by her again..."
"Father will take care of this matter. She wants to threaten us, but she can't do that now..."
Lian Jinyu agreed when he heard it.
But her heart was still clogged. She wanted to go to Beiyuan, but she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself if she went to see her now, so she teased Mingchen to relieve her boredom.
"Mom..." Mingchen suddenly called out "Mom".
Lian Jinyu couldn't believe it and An Qingran looked at Mingchen in surprise. She picked him up and asked him to call her again, and An Mingchen called her sister. An Qingran asked him to call her mother, and he called her father again. An Zhongtao came in at that moment, and he heard his son calling him father with his own ears. This word "father" was like a ray of sunshine in the dark clouds, which illuminated his life at once. He walked forward with surprise and took Mingchen over. Mingchen was also very happy when he saw him, and waved his little hands to grab his beard. An Zhongtao didn't hide either, and let him grab him.
Lian Jinyu and An Qingran stood aside, looking at the smile on An Zhongtao's face, they both felt relieved. The mother who raised them turned out to be the murderer. Not everyone could bear such a blow. Lian Jinyu was just discussing with her daughter how to enlighten An Zhongtao. Now it seemed that this task should be given to An Mingchen, as he had the ability to do it.
An Mingchen called "Dad" twice again. When An Zhongtao teased him, he laughed. That laughter did not sound like that of a ten-month-old baby. It was full of confidence and very loud.
An Yanran, who was walking to the gate of the courtyard, heard his laughter and stopped. Her expression looked very ugly. She thought that since the whole family was together, she should not disturb them.
As for An Qingran, she couldn't tell what her feelings were at the moment. She did have hatred for her, but she also had a little bit of admiration for her.
How did she discover this secret?
She secretly followed her last night and watched her doing tricks from the dark. She was thinking that this woman didn't seem to use all her skills against her. However, now that she knew, she would naturally be on guard against her, just like guarding against wolves and tigers...
Chu rushed to Beiyuan. At that time, the old lady was in a daze in the house. The maids had been driven away by her, and now she was the only one left.
When she saw Chu come in with a bad face, she sneered, "What? Are you here to make trouble again?"
"I... it's just that people outside have spread the rumor that you want to take the General's Mansion directly from An Zhongtao. I think this is a bit risky. It will be embarrassing for everyone. Besides, Zhongyuan's position is just a sinecure. A fifth-rank official is just a small shrimp in the capital. How can he compete directly with the general? If An Zhongtao is angered, he will probably suppress Zhongyuan directly. I think, if not, we don't want the General's Mansion. We are living happily together as a family..."
The old lady didn't expect her to say such sensible words. She was stunned: "Do you really think so? Don't you want the general's mansion anymore?"
"I... just don't want you to make things awkward. The situation has already come to this point, and it won't be good for anyone if it continues."
"Do you think I've brought shame to you or done something bad?" The old lady seemed to understand.
She was afraid of getting into trouble.
