Mr. An and An Donglin had always voted against An Ting's proposal, but An Tingyu persuaded them again and again, and Mr. An and An Donglin could not persuade her, so they had to agree.
“Back to this place again!”
Looking up at the majestic and familiar city gate, Mr. An sighed, "I thought I would never return to this place again, but... I'm back again."
"Grandpa, it's just right that you're back. Now that grandpa is back and you're back too, General Xing won't be so bored anymore. You don't know, he always told grandpa that he has no rivals in chess. You know that although grandpa is good at chess, his skills are average. After you left, General Xing said he was bored all day long!" An Tingyu said to Grandpa An.
"He is just a boring old man!" Old Master An said with pretended contempt, but a rare smile appeared on his face, which showed that he was very happy to see his old friend.
"But girl!" Old Master An looked back at An Tingyu, the smile on his face fading, replaced by worry. "Our return may make you feel more at ease, but have you ever thought about it? Your father and I haven't cleared ourselves yet, and there are rumors about you. Our return may become a weapon to attack you, and it will become even more difficult for you."
"I know," An Tingyu nodded. "Grandpa, don't worry, I'll be fine. And if I care about what others say, how can I still live in this world?"
Of course, An Tingyu knew what Grandpa An meant. She herself was suspected of not being legitimate and was not the nineteenth generation of the Nether Palace. Grandpa An and An Donglin were branded as rebels. Now that they were back, it might make things worse for her.
But aren't there enough rumors about her?
Not only was there no shortage of rumors, but it was more than anyone else's. Putting aside her visits to brothels and her unmarried births, even the fact that she was now living with Jing Aotian without a name or status was beyond the pale of this era. So what was she afraid of? She was the source of the rumors herself, so this one wasn't a big deal.
Returning to the An Mansion, looking at the plaque on the gate, An Donglin sighed, "Has it changed? It's fine if it has. I'm no longer the Prime Minister, so this mansion shouldn't be called the Prime Minister's Residence anymore."
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, An Tingyu comforted him: "Dad, if you still want to serve as an official in the court, you can let your younger brother reinstate your official position after this matter is investigated, so don't be too sad."
Hearing this, An Donglin shook his head and said, "Forget it. I am just sighing. I have been an official in the court for decades, but ended up like this. I don't want to be an official in the court anymore, and I am tired of officialdom. That's all!"
"But you have worked hard for decades. Is it really okay to end this way?" An Tingyu said calmly. To be honest, if she were An Donglin, she would never compromise for this. As long as she was not wrong, she would definitely stick to her own way. Not only would she clear herself, she would also go to the next level and make all those who doubted her swallow back what they said.
But unfortunately, she is not Antonlin, and Antonlin is not her, so she cannot accept the compromises that Antonlin can make.
"Girl! I'm not young anymore, and I'm past the age of striving. For me now, as long as you, the younger generation, are safe and sound, and our family is safe and happy, this is more important than anything else. So, I don't want to consider returning to the officialdom anymore."
"That's good. It's time for you and grandpa to be respected by your children. From now on, you will stay at home and let me take care of you. I promise to raise you to be fat and healthy." An Tingyu said with a smile.
"Isn't this bad? What if he turns out to be like your grandfather and gets some diseases of affluence? Wouldn't that be even more pitiful?" At this time, Mr. An on the other side said jokingly.
An Tingyu raised her lips and replied with a playful smile: "Grandpa, your grandson is a very good doctor. Of course, I won't give you any messy food. From now on, your three meals a day will be taken care of by Meizi and Xing'er. Of course, I will teach them to make some delicious and nutritious food that will not harm the body, so you can rest assured!"
Old Master An and An Donglin laughed but said nothing, then walked into the house with An Tingyu and the others.
After returning to the mansion, An Tingyu changed her clothes and then went into the palace.
In the Qiankun Palace of the Imperial Palace, Long Xunyi and An Tingyu sat in the octagonal pavilion, admiring the lotus flowers outside the pavilion and sipping precious fragrant tea.
"The family is finally reunited. You went to the palace right after you came back. Why didn't the teacher scold you?" Long Xunyi said in a joking tone.
"My grandpa has a good temper, he won't scold me!"
Hearing this, Long Xunyi smiled and guessed: "Why are you in such a hurry to enter the palace? Is there something wrong?"
You came to see him right after you got back?
An Tingyu wouldn't do such a thing, so she must have something to ask him! Otherwise, how could she be so anxious to see him.
An Tingyu looked at him and did not answer immediately, as if she was thinking about something.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that she was silent, Long Xunyi asked.
An Tingyu shook her head and said, "I wanted to say it, but after thinking about it, I decided not to say it."
"Won't you make me more curious by saying that?" Long Xunyi said helplessly. Whether he said it or not, this was the thing that was most likely to make others curious, and he was also a curious person.
"If you're curious, then so be it. Your curiosity isn't mine, so I'm not itchy." An Tingyu curled her lips lazily and chuckled lightly.
Originally, she really wanted to tell Long Xunyi about Concubine Feng and Feng Beijian, but then she thought, Long Xunyi is not only the king of a country, he is also Concubine Feng's husband. If she told him about her suspicions, wouldn't that cause the couple to quarrel?
