An Yuan'er bluntly exposed the family's shameful and hypocritical nature, leaving the old lady humiliated and with a very unpleasant expression.
"You wretched child! I only preserved your status out of consideration for your father and brother, and instead of being grateful, you speak ill of the family. With this attitude, you completely disregard this family, don't you?" The old lady gripped her cane tightly, filled with indignation.
"Guards, seize the Fourth Miss and give her 30 lashes to wake her up and make her reflect on what she did wrong and what she said wrong."
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, dozens of servants stepped forward, trying to forcibly restrain An Yuan'er and force her to submit.
Guoguo knelt down and pleaded, "Grandma, Miss is a precious person. You can't hurt her, no matter how angry you are!"
The old lady glared at Guoguo: "Hold that girl down and beat her too."
An Yuan'er had enough of this frustration. The more she tolerated it, the more the other party would take advantage of her and do whatever they wanted.
I will not offend others unless they offend me. My grandmother struck first, so it's no wonder she was defending herself.
She shouted, "Who dares to touch me? My father is a high-ranking official in the court, my brother is a rising star, and I am their most beloved child. If they come back and find out that you have done something to me, which of you can bear the consequences?"
Yes! That's right! An Yuan'er is justifiably relying on her father and brother.
Those illegitimate daughters were green with envy, but they couldn't do anything about it. What could they do when they had no respectable family members?
As soon as An Yuan'er finished speaking, several servants subconsciously took a few steps back. The Second Master's reputation for doting on his daughter had been established for a long time. If something really happened to the Second Miss, it was hard to guarantee that the Second Master wouldn't hold them accountable. They were of lowly status and could not bear that responsibility.
For a moment, the old lady was embarrassed and couldn't get off the stage. As the lady of the family, her authority was challenged by a junior like An Yuan'er.
An Xia'er fanned the flames: "Grandmother, look at An Yuan'er! She doesn't seem to apologize at all. She's so arrogant; anyone who didn't know better would think she's the one who calls the shots in the An household!"
The old lady would not tolerate such provocation: "Anyone who dares to back down will no longer be allowed to stay in the An family mansion."
The old lady used the servants' indentures to threaten them, saying that without these jobs, where would these servants find a better way to make a living?
There was a struggle in the servants' eyes, but they had no choice but to step forward again: "Fourth Miss, we are just following orders and have no choice but to do so."
Just as An Yuan'er and Guo Guo were about to be arrested, they appeared like lightning, their movements swift and agile.
With a few quick "swish" sounds, the pressure points of dozens of servants were all sealed, leaving them standing motionless in front of An Yuan'er.
Since both of them were Shadow Guards, they could easily handle twice the number of these servants.
"Miss, the mission is complete. Shuangshuang is late." Shuangshuang stood in front of An Yuan'er to protect her.
The women of the An family looked terrified. Was this the legendary master? How could An Yuan'er know such a person?
An Yuan'er stepped forward to her grandmother and said, "Grandmother, what can you do with me at this moment?"
"You...you...you're simply..." How could the grandmother not hear the provocation in An Yuan'er's words?
At this moment, embarrassment, resentment, and indignation mingled within the old lady. Every young lady in the family desperately tried to please her, seeking a powerful patron. Yet, only this granddaughter acted with impunity, completely lawless and unrestrained.
