Chapter 49 Divorce

"Madam, we found nothing. Concubine Liu's room is very clean." It

was so clean that there was not even a strand of hair.

Concubine Liu had obviously expected this answer. She knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes.

"I don't know who is trying to sow discord in front of my sister and said such words to frame my sister. I am innocent. Please look into it!"

Madam An's expression was extremely cold.

She was not good at fighting in the harem, because in the Anguo Marquis's Mansion, except for Madam Du who was a little mean, Madam An, who was protected by her two brothers, had never encountered any threats.

After marrying into the general's mansion, she was also the mistress of the house. For so many years, General An did not take in other concubines, and only Concubine Liu was by his side.

Madam Liu looked very honest and never caused trouble, so Madam An lived a comfortable life.

However, if something unexpected happened, Madam An had to straighten her back and protect her daughter from the wind and rain.

The search was fruitless, Madam An lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then looked at An Yunxi.

An Yunxi immediately said: "Mother, how could she put such a harmful thing in the room? She must have hidden it." Madam An nodded slightly, she narrowed her eyes, looked at Madam Liu and questioned: "Tell me where you hide it, don't force me to punish you." The mistress didn't need too many reasons

to deal with the concubine . Madam Liu knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face. "You can always find excuses to accuse someone of something. If you want to get rid of me, you don't need to make so many excuses. Just get rid of me." Madam An didn't have much patience. "Since you don't say it, don't blame me for being rude. Someone, bring the whip." Madam Liu was stunned. She didn't expect that Madam An, who used to be gentle to her, would suddenly change her attitude towards her so much. After Madam An went to the palace, she didn't have a good face to her, so she suspected that she was not careful enough and was exposed. But she recalled the past carefully, but she didn't notice anything wrong with her performance. When Aunt Liu heard that Madam An was going to whip her and make her confess, she panicked and raised her head with tears in her eyes and said, "Sister, I don't know what I did wrong. No matter what, everyone in the mansion knows that Xiaojie is my savior. If you whip me for no reason, people in the mansion will definitely spread rumors that my sister can't tell right from wrong and is jealous!" An Yunxi also grabbed her mother's wrist. "Mother, don't torture her." An Yunxi had already had a plan to deal with this scene next to her. Aunt Liu was very careful in doing things and never left any handles, but An Yunxi was a reborn person, so she naturally knew some of her secrets. She stood up, looked down at Aunt Liu who was kneeling in the room and said, "The general's mansion is so small, you can't just use a little of that precious medicine and then throw it away. It must be hidden in a very secret place." Aunt Liu heard An Yunxi's words, and for some reason, sweat broke out on her palms. After meeting An Yunxi last night, she felt that something was wrong with An Yunxi. The way she spoke and acted was different from before. Although she was still the same person, the sense of incongruity made her suspicious. "Miss, since you said so, search for the evidence. If you can put it in front of me, I will naturally have no excuse." "Aunt, don't worry, I have arranged for someone to find it." "What?" Aunt Liu was stunned and looked at An Yunxi in confusion. An Yunxi, however, curled her lips with a smile, her eyes were extremely cold. How could she come to her mother without any preparation? Dealing with a concubine without evidence would make Madam An bear the reputation of being jealous. This was not what she wanted. She also planned to let her mother and General An divorce . Even if she had to deal with these chores, she couldn't sacrifice her mother's life. An Yunxi said, "Just when my mother sent someone to search your yard, she should have returned by now." As soon as she finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the door. Aunt Liu turned her head and saw a familiar tall figure appear in front of her. Seeing Ling Fengxun's face, Aunt Liu felt a black screen in front of her eyes. Her fingers began to tremble consciously, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger. Why would the Regent Prince help An Yunxi so desperately! Could it be that An Yunxi's current changes were all because of the Regent Prince? For this most mysterious prince in the capital, what he knew was not surprising to Aunt Liu. Now that he was behind her, An Yunxi could really do whatever she wanted in this capital . An Yunxi immediately came to the door to greet him. "Prince, do you have any clues?" Ling Fengyan stood with his hands behind his back and leaned slightly. Immediately, one of his men came in and placed a mahogany box on Mrs. An's desk. "I found it in the secret room in the rockery of the General's Mansion." An Yunxi smiled and said, "Madam Liu, I didn't expect you to hide these things in the secret room of the General's Mansion. Even my mother doesn't know about this secret room. How did you know?" When Mrs. An heard this, her expression changed instantly. It was not because she found the evidence, but because the evidence was hidden in the secret room of the General's Mansion. What does this show? It shows that Madam Liu knew that there was such a secret room in the General's Mansion, but she didn't know about it, which makes her look more like the owner of this General's Mansion. And the only person who had the ability to hide it from her and create such a secret room was General An. In other words, everything that Madam Liu did was tacitly approved by General An. Although she had been prepared, she still suffered a strong mental blow when the evidence was laid out before her eyes. After all, General An was her bedmate for more than 20 years.

An Yunxi saw her mother's face turn pale.

She felt a pain in her heart and immediately rushed forward to support her.

"Mom, I know you are uncomfortable, but it is better to suffer a short pain than a long one."

Her eyes were also red.

What General An did was really beastly.

Aunt Liu's lips trembled, but she raised her eyes and said in a calm voice: "I know nothing about this matter. Since it is a secret room in the general's mansion, the general should also know about it. If I dare to harm the eldest lady, how dare I hide this thing there?"

She was still cunning.

Madam An was too lazy to listen to what she said.

The real key person in this matter is not her, but General An!

Ling Fengxun said: "Aunt, I can arrange someone to carry General An over."

Madam An was silent for a moment.

"No need, I'll go see him myself."

She stood up with a shaky step.

She was angry.

An Yunxi hurriedly supported Madam An, and then asked the servants to bring Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu followed behind, and they all came to the place where General An was recuperating. General An had not slept all night, and his face was not very good. There was another person in the room at this time. Madam

An stopped and called out to the figure inside.

"Mother-in-law."

An Yunxi heard this and saw an old lady sitting next to General An's bed.

The old lady was dressed neatly, meticulously, and her dark purple skirt was bright and beautiful, and she even had makeup on her face.

She frowned and said, "Why did you bring so many people here? My son is sick, but you don't even come to take care of him. I really don't know why my son married you. You don't know how sick he would be if Yingshuang wasn't here."

Old Madam An likes to put on airs and say things that are unpleasant to the ear.

But over the years, the two of them haven't had any actual conflicts. Generally speaking, Madam An tolerates it on weekdays.

She doesn't need to pay respects to the old lady, and the two of them don't see each other very often. They have been like this for so many years.

But today, Madam An was already full of anger.

No matter how gentle a person is, she can't help it in this situation.

"Mother-in-law, the general was injured, but I was also sick and even unconscious. It was only after the prince invited many doctors to treat me that I was able to open my eyes and wake up again. Why didn't you two come to visit me before?"

Old Madam An was startled and her face suddenly darkened.

"The general is busy with official duties, and you have so many servants to take care of you. What's there to be pretentious about? The general's injury is a big deal. You are already so sick all day long. How can you compare with the general's health?"

Madam An laughed out of anger. Her

face became paler and paler.

The corners of her lips trembled slightly, and the disappointment in her eyes became more and more obvious.

At this time, a cold female voice came from behind Madam An.

"You are already so old, why don't you dig a hole and bury yourself? Living is a waste of food, and you won't cause trouble for your children!"
