Chapter 50 Worse than a beast
Madam An was stunned. She stood up and looked at the person who was speaking.
An Yunxi walked over and looked around with cold eyes. She didn't give Madam An any face.
"How dare you, a young man, blame me?"
Madam An was very angry and scolded: "How can you be so unfilial!"
An Yunxi couldn't help but sneer.
General An's father died early, and Madam An and him depended on each other for many years. Therefore, she put her son first in everything. She
was especially harsh on her mother, because she would be jealous of her mother for a little thing, thinking that her mother had taken General An away.
In the past few years at home, she had been on Madam Liu's side in every way and told her to use means to prevent General An from staying in her mother's yard.
"I'm just returning to you what you said about my mother. My mother is the mistress of the house, the mistress of this general's mansion, and she is petite and noble, so how can she not compare to your son?"
Old Madam An frowned. She saw the unfriendly attitude of the group of people outside, and for a moment she felt that she was embarrassed to be confronted by An Yunxi.
"My son is still a general, of course he is the most important!"
An Yunxi just thought it was funny: "That's in your heart, in my heart, my mother is the most important."
Madam An heard her daughter defending her in every possible way, and her original feeling of grievance immediately dissipated a lot.
But she was still angry.
"Everyone else in the room, go out, this lady has something to say to General An."
The nanny and maid inside glanced at the old lady.
Madam An said, "If you have anything to say, please say it quickly. They still have to take care of the general."
Madam An was stunned, then stood at the door, straightened her back and said, "General, what is the secret room behind the rockery in the mansion? Why don't I know when there is such a secret room in the mansion?"
The room was silent.
General An, who was lying on the bed, was obviously awake all the time, but after Madam An asked, she didn't get a reply for a long time.
Madam An glanced at the direction of the bed behind her, and immediately walked over like a protective dog, trying to push Madam An out.
"My son is injured and has fallen asleep. None of you are allowed to enter and disturb him."
She walked out of the room and even closed the door with her backhand.
Inside the room, General An was lying on the bed with a frown on his face.
Although he didn't know what happened, he absolutely couldn't admit that he knew about the secret passage.
His face was grim, and he was thinking about countermeasures. Outside
the door, An Yunxi saw the old lady blocking the way, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
She looked around and her eyes fell on a rattan chair in the corner of the courtyard.
Striding over, An Yunxi grabbed the rattan chair, then bent her arms and smashed the chair directly against the window.
A huge noise came, scaring old lady An.
Her fingers trembled, "An Yunxi, what are you doing!"
An Yunxi clapped her hands, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "What are you doing? Of course, I'm calling my father to wake up. It's so loud, can't he hear it? If he still doesn't wake up, I'll send someone to buy some gongs and drums, and stand here to play them."
Ling Fengxun said softly: "No need to buy, we have them."
An Yunxi looked over.
She saw that Ling Fengxun's subordinates had already very considerately sent a few cowhide drums over.
Someone even respectfully handed An Yunxi a drumstick.
Seeing this, An Yunxi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, her eyes were gentle, and she flashed a little bit of brilliance.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Ling Fengxun returned the greeting, behaving very elegantly in front of outsiders: "You're welcome, I'm from your family."
This sounded a bit strange.
No, to be precise, it was a bit sour.
An Yunxi: ""
She lowered her head and glanced at the drumstick in her hand, and suddenly felt that this was a hot potato.
Because this drum was prepared for her wedding two days ago!
It was her wedding to the prince!
An Yunxi smiled awkwardly, then turned around and was about to hit the drum. When the drumstick fell, the sound made people's hearts beat wildly. Old
Madam An wanted to come over to stop her, but was stopped by the servants brought by Madam An, and her face was cold.
"With such a big commotion, the general should have woken up. This lady must get to the bottom of this matter!"
Madam An wanted to say something, but General An's very weak voice came from the room.
"Okay, all of you come in."
Madam An heard her son speak and turned sideways.
Madam An glanced at her, took An Yunxi, and asked her men to bring Aunt Liu in.
After all, it was a family matter, and it was not easy for Ling Fengxun, an outsider, to come in, so he sat down at the table and chairs prepared for him by the servants to rest quietly.
In the room, General An reluctantly turned his head, looked at Madam An and smiled, "Madam, you see how badly I'm injured. I'm really too sleepy. I fell asleep accidentally just now."
Madam An did not sit down, but stood by General An's bed.
Looking at the man who had lived with her for decades, the news was too cruel for her.
"It doesn't matter. I can ask again, General, do you know the secret room in the rockery?"
Aunt Liu knelt on the ground, looking a little nervous.
She raised her head and looked into General An's eyes, biting her lower lip slightly and blinking.
General An understood what she meant instantly, but there was a bit of confusion in his eyes.
He said to Madam An, "What rockery?" Seeing that General An actually did not admit it, Madam An could not help but sneer and said, "General, don't pretend to be confused with me. The secret room is over there in the rockery. Do you want me to carry you over to take a look now?"
General An's thoughts were in a mess, but his mind was quite clear at this time.
"Madam, what are you talking about? Why would I doubt that what you said is false? But I really don't know what a secret room is. This is the first time I've heard of it."
Mrs. An saw that General An had a confused expression on his face and spoke very firmly, with a look of pain and grievance on his face.
She couldn't make up her mind for a moment.
General An's attitude was genuine and flawless.
"It was Aunt Liu who told me that the secret room was built by you. If you don't believe it, you can ask her?"
General An looked at Aunt Liu.
"What did you say?"
Aunt Liu lowered her head, and a dark color flashed in her eyes.
She quickly knocked her head to the ground.
"General, please make the decision for me. They have joined hands to frame me!"
This shout made Mrs. An slightly startled.
"Madam Liu, what have you wronged?"
Madam Liu raised her head with tears in her eyes, her voice soft and weak, "It was Madam who found a secret room, and then discovered some medicines that appeared in the eldest lady's room, and then she said that the medicines were taken by me!"
She crawled a few steps on her knees, came to the bed, and grabbed General An's sleeve.
"Yingshuang knows nothing. She only knows that if the general doesn't show up, she will never see him again! That's why he said that the secret room was built by the general."
General An tried to smooth things over. "Madam, is there any misunderstanding here? Aunt Liu has been honest and dutiful in the mansion for so many years. Even the servants in the mansion remember her well. She couldn't have children in order to save her life. You can say that she is not a threat to you. Can't you be a little more tolerant?"
Aunt Liu cried and said, "I know I have hindered my sister in the mansion. My sister probably wanted to get rid of me a long time ago. I stole the general's favor. It's normal for my sister to hate me. But how can you accuse me of harming the eldest lady? I really haven't done such a thing!"
The two of them tried to fool around with this matter.
But how is that possible?
An Yunxi watched the two people acting at ease.
It must be said that these two are really talented, and Aunt Liu played a wronged, humble woman to the fullest.
Madam An's face was tense, "What's the matter with the secret room?"
General An suddenly seemed to think of something, "Madam, when we bought this house, the previous owner was also a wealthy businessman. Maybe he left it here to avoid disasters, so no one in our house knew about it. You see, you are the mistress of the house. If I use money to find someone to build a secret room, no matter how hidden it is, it will be easily discovered by you, right?"
Although his face was weak, his voice was very soft.
When talking to Madam An, he had never spoken loudly in all these years.
Therefore, when the people in the court saw that General An was such a rough man, but he obeyed his wife's orders, they all laughed at him for being henpecked. In the eyes of those noble ladies, Mrs. An lived a good life with a respectful husband and filial son
. Mrs. An's eyes turned red as she listened.
Recalling the past, she felt that General An was very strange.
The moment she learned the truth, her husband was already dead.
"General, is what you said true?"
General An raised his upper body with a grin.
"Of course it is true, I can swear to heaven."
"Okay."
Mrs. An raised her eyes and stared into General An's eyes.
"Then swear that if this secret room has anything to do with you, you will die without a burial place!"
Madam An got angry when she heard this, "How can you let the general swear such a poisonous oath, Du Linglan, do you still know that he is your husband?" Madam An
smiled bitterly, "It is because I know that I can't help but give him chances again and again. If you don't swear, I will think you are lying to me!"
Seeing that Madam An was serious, General An was furious.
He subconsciously looked at An Yunxi next to him, thinking that An Yunxi must have instigated Madam An!
Otherwise, Madam An is gentle and virtuous, and is an extremely considerate and wise wife. For so many years, the two of them have never blushed, but since An Yunxi was kidnapped by Ling Fengxun, it seems that everything has changed.
An Yunxi is disobedient and even kidnaps Madam An to target him together!
"Madam, I swear, if what I said is even a little bit false, let me..."
He deliberately spoke a little slowly.
I hope that Madam An can speak up in time to stop him.
She probably doesn't want his oath to come true.
However, Madam An looked at him silently, without saying a word, and had no intention of stopping him.
An Yunxi, who was watching the show, found it interesting and kindly reminded him.
"Speak?"
General An: ""
He was silent for a moment, raised his hand again and said: "If there is even a single word of falsehood, let me die without a burial place!"
He was ruthless and said this curse directly.
The moment he finished speaking, General An only felt that his heartbeat was particularly fast.
That was an extremely guilty feeling.
Even sweat broke out on his palms and forehead, and the injury on his back became unbearable because of the sweat.
Madam An finally gave up completely. She closed her eyes and her figure swayed slightly.
An Yunxi's eyes immediately became serious.
She had no feelings for General An, but her mother had
She could watch the show, but her mother was an insider.
Removing the man who had been by your side for decades from your heart would definitely hurt like peeling off your skin and bones.
She gently hugged Madam An's frail body.
"Mom, you still have me and your three brothers. Even if you don't have him in the future, you will live a good life, even better!"
She whispered in Madam An's ear.
Suddenly, she blinked playfully.
"Mom, let me tell you,"
she leaned into Madam An's ear, "your daughter can help you find a better one, one that is younger, stronger and more handsome. You can have as many as you want."
Madam An was originally still sad.
Hearing An Yunxi's words out of the blue, her old face instantly turned red, and she felt less sad.
"You are such a shameless girl!"
Seeing her mother teasing her, An Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it could relieve her mother's pain, what would it matter if she was shameless?
Anyway, only the mother and she knew what she had just said.
"Don't be sad, mother, what are you going to do?"
Madam An glanced at General An, who was expecting her reaction.
She also glanced at Aunt Liu, who was lying on the bed, holding General An's hand, and crying. At
this moment, she sighed and said, "Find evidence."
General An suddenly widened his eyes, "Madam, I have already sworn, don't you still believe me?"
Madam An shook her head.
"General, even if you said that she secretly built the secret room, I might believe you, but you actually lied to protect her."
She chuckled, her smile was extremely bitter, "Since the only people you truly love are her and your youngest daughter, and you don't care about the life and death of your eldest daughter, then I'd better stay away from her."
General An was panicked.
He endured the pain and wanted to get out of bed.
But this little action was impossible.
He could only stretch out his arm as much as possible and hold the corner of Madam An's clothes.
He still had a flattering smile on his face, and his eyes were full of flattery and humility.
"Madam, you must have a reason for saying this, right? If you really think that your husband has done something wrong, tell me, and your husband will change, right?"
He was very humble, making people feel that he was truly repentant
. Madam An's lips moved.
"I can't tolerate a woman who hurt my daughter to stay in the house."
General An was stunned, and said hesitantly: "This matter can be discussed, but Aunt Liu has not committed any mistakes. It will not be good for your reputation to drive her out. You don't want the mother of our children to be accused of jealousy, right? It will affect their careers!" The tone
of the discussion was touching.
Even Madam An couldn't refute it for a while.
An Yunxi smiled and said: "My mother has never been jealous, why should she be accused? In addition, it is you, General An, who is fooling around outside, and it is you who took a concubine and brought back an illegitimate daughter. What right do you have to blame my mother!"
How can a person be so shameless?
No, he is not a human being. Calling him a beast is an insult to a beast!
Ling Fengxun raised his hand and signaled. Someone came over from behind and placed something in the room.
An Yunxi said, "Mother, the evidence has been brought here. Now let's see how the two of them can argue!"
