"What Auntie said is true. Auntie has been managing the General's Mansion for so long, so naturally everything is easy for her. This time, Auntie is managing it on behalf of mother. In short, I think Auntie is really working hard... Now that my mother has returned to the mansion, she may not be able to manage the affairs of the mansion as smoothly as Auntie!"
Her words woke the dreamer up.
Lian Jinrong and her daughter felt as if they had been struck by a heavy blow. It turned out that she had said so much just waiting for them here!
No wonder she didn't seem angry at all, it turned out that she was always thinking about this matter.
But An Zhongtao was suddenly awakened by his daughter: "Yes, Madam is back, you should give all the keys to Madam..."
"General, my sister is not in good health and has just returned home. I have just prepared a banquet and am going to invite princes and nobles to welcome the old lady. At this time, no one knows everything better than me..." Lian Jinrong said with a smile, "After the banquet, my sister can take over..."
"What are you still making noise about? I asked you to hand it over, but why are you reluctant to do so? And why are you saying so many words?" An Zhongtao didn't expect that his order could not be directly executed by her, so he got angry.
In addition, An Qingran just pointed out that An Yanran was not under house arrest. It was obvious that her mother was behind this. She had corrupted a good child. She used to be a sensible child, but now her temper has become more and more like hers. She still doesn't realize it, and what she says makes people laugh.
"General, I am only speaking the truth..." Lian Jinrong said. Seeing that the general looked very good today, she thought she still had a chance. At least before handing over the keys, she could get some credit. "I have always put the interests of the general's mansion first. I was just thinking whether I should tell you the details of the banquet. You still have to take a look at the list to see if there are any problems. No matter how well I prepare, I am afraid there are still some things I can't think of..."
"Didn't you hear what I said? Madam will do these things. Madam and I will review them together. If you really don't hand over the keys, it will make people doubt your motives. Also, what right do you have to ask An Yanran to release her from the ban? I clearly told her to come back and be under house arrest! You ignored my words? I am still in a strong position now, and you come to be my home. I really don't know what you will do if I fall from power? Since you are so stubborn and refuse to repent, you have made An Yanran so tired at such a young age. You two should reflect on your mistakes!"
Lian Jinyu felt very happy when she saw Lian Jinrong's face of loss. She didn't expect that as soon as she got home, the general would give her such a big gift!
However, when she saw the hatred that flashed across her eyes, she felt helpless for a moment. This was just a small general's mansion, and she was a sister, but she was fighting like this. She really didn't know how the concubines in the palace were trying to gain favor!
In this life, never let your daughter go to the harem!
Little did she know that her daughter's wheel of destiny had started turning a long, long time ago, and she couldn't stop it.
An Yanran couldn't utter a word at this moment. She knew that in her father's eyes, she was just a rude and bad girl. If she tried to explain further, it would only make things more embarrassing. It would be better for her to confess her guilt honestly!
This time, she showed unprecedented cooperation and her attitude was very good.
An Qingran couldn't help but become more alert towards An Yanran. She was making rapid progress!
Lian Jinyu and An Qingran returned to their own courtyard. Nanny Hong came forward and said happily, "Madam, you are back. You have not been in the mansion for the past month. I don't know what happened. Last time you went away to recuperate, the second lady behaved abnormally and went to the palace to find Concubine Shu, and asked the second lady to follow her to Yuehua Temple. At that time, I didn't know what happened, but I was anxious, but I couldn't pass on the news... Now you are back, it's great, my old eyes are blurry, sometimes I see everything suspicious, and sometimes, I think it should be normal and there is no problem. Now I know what the problem is. The second lady has started to act arrogantly in the mansion again, and there are often little maids crying secretly and being beaten by her. Guess what's the reason?"
An Qingran smiled. This Nanny Hong had been away from them for too long and they must have missed her terribly. She said so much in one breath, but she still seemed to have a lot to say and looked very excited.
"Why was he punished?" An Qingran also wanted to know.
"Because those servants call her Second Madam, not Madam..."
Lian Jinyu and An Qingran looked at each other, the former sighed, and the latter smiled. As expected, this trick of hers killed two birds with one stone. She really showed her straight face at home.
However, how could such news be cleverly conveyed to my father's ears?
An Qingran's mind was spinning rapidly, and soon, a smile appeared on her face: "Mother, we just returned home today, we should invite my aunt and sister to have a meal together, they have been working hard in the mansion for a month, right?"
Lian Jinyu didn't know what her daughter was up to, but it was only natural for the family to have a reunion dinner when they returned home, so she smiled and said, "Okay, mother will personally arrange the menu for today's kitchen. Madam Hong, you will have to help with the preparations. I'm back now and I need you to be busy again. It's really..."
"Madam, why are you being so polite to me? I am so happy to see you guys coming back happily..." As she said that, she wiped her eyes. For more than a month, she had been living her life according to Lian Jinrong's mood. Now that her real master has finally returned, she couldn't even describe the grievances she had suffered. She was so happy that she cried.
An Qingran said that she wanted to go back and wash up, and then left the East Warm Pavilion. She quietly pulled Madam Hong and asked her what was going on, who was bullied, and who were Lian Jinrong's loyal servants. She wanted to investigate it clearly.
After Nanny Hong accepted her task, she naturally paid attention to everything, so she mentioned a few names. After An Qingran listened, she nodded slightly: "Tonight, we will prepare a feast for the Second Madam and the Second Miss. They have been too hard in the mansion this month..."
Looking at the confident and domineering expression on her face, Nanny Hong was stunned. She was a little uneasy about the changes in the eldest lady. She was relieved, but also a little sad. A child of this age should not be involved in such a complicated relationship!
She should be an innocent child.
But when she thought of the second young lady, she gave up the idea. If the eldest young lady was still an innocent child, she might suffer losses in the end and not know how to deal with it. There were some things that she really could not do anything about, so she just sighed and went to prepare.
