Chapter 26: Marry the King
Old Madam Du lost her balance, her crutches flew out, and she knelt down in front of Madam An.
This scene made the scene quiet in an instant. It took the eldest aunt a long time to react, and she immediately stood up and stepped forward.
"Old Madam!"
The maids and nannies who followed behind also came to help, and everyone worked together to finally help the old lady who fell up.
The beard on the face of Marquis Anguo was shaking, and it was very difficult to hold back his laughter.
An Yunxi walked to her mother's side, and her voice was concerned.
"Mom, you are still sick, go back and rest, don't pay attention to them."
Madam An smiled, knowing that her daughter was helping her vent her anger.
Old Madam Du was already old, and this fall broke her bones. She gasped in pain and felt that her bones were about to fall apart.
Madam Du calmed down and her old face was twisted with anger.
"Du Pingjiang, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you drive Du Linglan and her daughter out? You dare to hit your elders, you are so mean!"
Marquis Anguo frowned, raised his eyes and looked at the old lady, still smiling: "Mother, what are you talking about? Linglan is my sister, Yunxi is my niece, and this Marquis Anguo Mansion is their home. How can I drive my family out?"
Madam Du heard this and became even more angry: "You don't even listen to me, right?"
Marquis Anguo still looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. Madam Du's words were like a punch on cotton, not painful or itchy.
"I can't just listen to my mother. If this gets out, she will think that I, the great Marquis of Anguo, am still an infant. You are seriously injured. Send someone to take my mother back to rest!"
He gave this order, and a maid came in immediately, ready to take Madam Du from Liu Xiyue's hands.
It looked like they were going to send Madam Du away by force.
Seeing Marquis Anguo's expression, Madam Du said angrily, "An Yunxi just hurt me on purpose. Didn't you see it?"
Marquis Anguo was stunned, with a bewildered expression on his face.
"When?"
Old Madam Du: "..."
He seemed to suddenly remember and realized: "Just now, you stepped on Yunxi's foot when you passed by. You were too careless. Even if your eyes are blurry, you must have seen Yunxi's big feet?"
He then turned around and looked at An Yunxi and said: "Yunxi, does your foot hurt? Your grandmother is old and didn't see it, so don't bother with her."
An Yunxi replied with a smile: "Yunxi knows that grandma didn't mean it."
Even if Old Madam Du didn't die from the fall, she was almost pissed off to death by these two people.
"You..."
Seeing that Madam Du was almost speechless due to anger, Marquis Anguo continued, "You are not in good health, so don't run around if you have nothing to do. Stay in the mansion and take care of yourself. Your son will definitely be filial to you."
Several maids dragged Madam Du out.
Marquis Anguo still had a smile on his face. An Yunxi, who was not far away, watched this scene and felt a little funny in her heart.
The eldest uncle looked honest and simple, even a little vulgar, and had a bad temper, but he stood on her and her mother's side without hesitation, and he could tell the difference between relatives and strangers.
Over the years, he has handled all the big and small matters of the mansion very well, and he is a very reliable elder.
"Let me go, I'm fine!"
Madam Du struggled for a few times, and the maids didn't dare to use too much force, so she was able to break free.
The old lady's face was livid, knowing that Marquis Anguo was determined to protect those two people, "Forget it, I came here this time, and I have something more important to tell you, Lord Marquis."
She straightened her wrinkled clothes.
Her knees hurt, and she limped two steps.
Marquis Anguo was stunned, "What else does mother want to say?" Madam An
patted An Yunxi's wrist, and her expression became a little solemn.
"An Yunxi wants to break off the engagement with the prince, and I will never allow it!"
An Yunxi raised her eyes and looked at Madam Du with a cold gaze.
Madam An hurriedly said, "Yunxi is my daughter. If she wants to cancel the engagement, you have no right to intervene!"
Madam Du looked over and stared at Madam An with her hazy eyes.
"She is just a little girl. Who gave her the confidence to cancel the engagement? General An came to discuss this matter with me last night. General An disagreed, and I disagreed too. What else does she want to use to cancel the engagement?"
Her meaning was very clear. With her blocking the Marquis of Anguo Mansion and Father An's disapproval from the General's Mansion, it was nonsense for An Yunxi to cancel the engagement.
Madam Du was the old lady of the Marquis Mansion anyway.
If she blocked the cancellation of the engagement, it would be a big trouble for An Yunxi and others.
At this moment, a cold voice came from inside the house.
"Her confidence was given by this king."
Madam Du never knew that there were other people in the room.
At this moment, she was startled by the sudden voice.
She and her aunt looked inside and saw a figure coming out. The ink-colored dragon robe with gold patterns showed the other party's extremely noble status. Wearing
a golden crown, with an extremely handsome face and a pair of dark blue eyes staring at the person in front, Ling Fengxun attracted all eyes as soon as he came out.
Old Madam Du certainly knew who this person was.
She widened her eyes in surprise and was speechless for a while. She knelt down tremblingly with Liu Xiyue.
"Your servant greets the Regent!"
No matter how she showed off her power and was sarcastic at home, Old Madam Du still knew who to offend and who not to offend.
She never expected that the Regent would be here.
She came in a hurry, and no servant took the initiative to mention this to her!
Ling Fengxun did not ask the two to get up. Seeing them trembling as they saluted, he could not help but sneer in his heart.
It was obvious that these two were villains who were trying to curry favor with the powerful.
"I want Axi to cancel the engagement. Do you have any objection?"
Madam Du looked bewildered, she did not understand why the Regent King would be involved in this matter.
After all, she was a woman in the inner house, and she was not as well-informed as those in the officialdom outside. Of course, she did not know that the one who stole the bride was the Regent King.
None of those who knew the truth in the court had the courage to publicize it, so the fact that An Yunxi was abducted by the Regent King was only circulated among them.
General An did not tell Madam Du, but only said that An Yunxi did not know what was wrong with her, and suddenly regretted the engagement, and wanted to publicly propose to cancel the engagement.
"Naturally, I dare not object to the Regent King's words." Madam
Du's face was pale, her mind was in a mess, and she just followed Ling Fengxun's words.
Ling Fengxun calmed the situation with just one sentence.
His tone was cold and threatening, as if he was putting a butcher's knife on their necks.
"Axi is going to marry me. Anyone who dares to stop her from breaking off the engagement with the prince is against me."
