Seeing that her name was called, Aunt Xu quickly blessed the old lady and said respectfully: "The eldest lady is right. The dowry for the second young lady's marriage in the next year was carefully prepared by the eldest lady. The servants looked at all the preparations. According to the preparations made by the upper level, I would like to thank you Madam."
Zisu always felt that there was something in the eldest lady's words, so she didn't dare to answer any more. She also followed Aunt Xu's example and bowed to everyone and nodded. However, she looked more and more rosy recently, with that delicate posture. , as if it could squeeze out water.
The second lady was choked by An Xiyue and couldn't say a word. When fighting against the eldest lady, she always lost completely. She gritted her teeth bitterly and glared at the eldest chamber, "Then check it out. I have to give the third lady one." That’s the end of my explanation.”
The old lady was already angry with the second lady. When she saw the deflated look of the second lady facing An Xiyue, she suddenly felt relieved and said coldly to the second lady: "No one talks as much as you do. His knowledge is not as shallow as yours."
The old lady scolded the second lady for being shallow, implying that she was worse than an aunt, and she was so angry that smoke came out of the second lady's nostrils.
Anxilin's move of seeking death to save herself was originally a good win, but now it pushed her into a dead end.
Judging from An Xilin's expression, she must have been sure that she would not tell her about stealing her father's evidence. Anyway, there was no loss to her father. The loss was to the fourth prince, and it was her father who was offended by speaking out. She really admired that man. The technique of attacking the mind is used very well. Indeed, she does not dare to gamble with the entire Anxi family, because it is not only the life of Anxilin, but also the lives of the people she cares about. She cannot afford to bet, but she dares to gamble with Anxi Lin's life is on the line.
An Xiyue looked at the weak An Xilin, and a faint smile with unknown meaning appeared at the corner of her lips, gentle and bright. In an instant, she slowly said to everyone: "Originally I was unwilling to tell this matter, but In the face of the second aunt's aggression and Aunt Lin's pleading, I had to speak out to prevent my grandmother, second uncle, second aunt, third uncle and third aunt from misunderstanding my father."
As soon as An Xiyue finished speaking, everyone pricked up their ears and listened. In fact, no one dared to ask, but they were all curious as to why the gentle and kind-hearted Third Miss hanged herself from the beam in the ancestral hall. They couldn't figure it out today, and they also felt the same in their hearts. Very itchy.
At this time, An Yuxiao cast a warning look at her eldest daughter with shocked eyes. This matter was related to the future fortune of the An family. Why did he ask his second and third brothers to go back first when he came back from the palace? He just didn't want people to know that the traitor was the lady of the An family. In the palace, he recalled it carefully, and then he became suspicious of the bowl of ginseng soup. He thought it was impossible and just wanted to investigate further.
At the same time, Aunt Lin, who knew about it, also raised her heart in her throat. Didn't Lin Ji say that he was sure that An Xiyue would not tell the matter? Now that she wants to speak out, what should she do? Even if the master refuses to admit it because of Baohou Mansion, it will not be good for Lin'er if this matter is made public and spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
Aunt Lin only found out about the things that Third Miss had done later. It was all because Third Miss was not deeply involved in the world. She was still too young and did not think carefully. She could not betray Anfu at all. Anfu was her future reliance. What happened to Lin'er? The lard has blinded my mind and made me dizzy. Now I can only make amends.
Besides, who can decide who will be the emperor in the future? Lin'er should not have placed her expectations on the fourth prince too early. There is no use regretting it now.
An Xilin turned to An Xiyue with cold eyes and sneered in her heart. She didn't dare to say it out loud. Her father would hate her if she said it out loud. My cousin is right, An Xiyue is not so courageous.
An Xilin breathed out hard, trying to calm herself down, and looked at An Yuxiao with a pair of gentle eyes.
"Okay, there is no need to investigate this matter any further, let's end it here." An Yuxiao said coldly.
An Xiyue was not ready to let An Xilin go, and said, "Does father still want to hide sister Lin's secret meeting with the eldest son of Prime Minister Lin's house? According to the relationship between Lin's house and An's house, since Lin Ji loves the third sister, He will definitely be able to grant the third sister the position of his legitimate wife."
An Xilin's heart seemed to be so angry that it was about to bleed. She dug her nails into her flesh and said angrily: "An Xiyue, you are talking nonsense."
An Xilin had no idea that An Xiyue would wrongly accuse her with such empty talk. How could An Xiyue dare to lie in front of so many people.
At this time, An Xilin was so angry that she stood up from the bed hastily. Her body was no longer so weak. She pointed at An Xiyue's nose and said angrily: "Eldest sister has some grudge against my younger sister to destroy my reputation."
An Yuxiao also looked at her eldest daughter in shock, feeling at a loss and speechless.
An Xiyue looked at An Yuxiao indifferently, with a well-behaved and sensible look, and her voice was as cold as ice and extremely serious: "My father saw me personally last night, and then he took the third sister to the ancestral hall and asked the third sister to meditate on her past. Who knows?" I thought that my third sister actually committed suicide."
An Yuxiao turned her eyes and stared at her eldest daughter, as if the daughter in front of her didn't look fifteen years old, but she was obviously only fifteen years old. She was right. This explanation best explained that he had killed the three of them out of anger last night. The daughter was sent to the ancestral hall.
Everyone looked at An Yuxiao, waiting for his answer, and An Yuxiao acquiesced.
However, it is still unclear why the third lady and Mr. Lin were so happy with each other. That is why Xiangyue committed suicide. As An Xilin was a concubine, she married the golden grandson of the prime minister's palace as his legitimate wife. This cousin and cousin just happened to be together. Being a couple is a good marriage that you can't even ask for.
"Father, my daughter was wronged. Cousin Lin Ji didn't come to date her. He came to visit her." An Xilin felt like she had a hundred words to speak and couldn't explain clearly. She held An Yuxiao's brocade robe coquettishly and angrily. She didn't want to marry Lin Ji, even if she was a concubine, she was willing to marry the fourth prince.
An Yuxiao also had his own considerations. Now that he had offended the fourth prince, he had to resort to it now. Since the eldest prince was willing to marry his daughter as a concubine, it would also be a help to him.
An Yuxiao was about to decide that it was just a misunderstanding, so forget it.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, An Xilin's rose-red skirt had a black tassel hanging from her waist. An Xiyue pulled off the tassel, and a translucent jade pendant appeared in front of everyone.
This jade pendant is of very good quality, with cloud patterns carved on the back and an upright word "Lin" on the front. At first glance, it looks like a jade pendant worn by men. Why did it fall out of An Xilin's waist, and the tassel weaving technique is only worn by men.
An Xiyue held it in his hand, looked at it, and murmured: "It has the word 'Lin' on it."
Turning around, he said calmly: "Third sister, is this a love token given to you by Lin Ji?"
An Xilin's eyes were filled with shock and she was filled with tears. How could that jade be on her body? How could it be possible? No, she has never seen Nayu.
Immediately, everyone turned to stare at An Xilin and started talking, "It turns out that the third young lady has made a life-long private engagement with Mr. Lin, and they used jade as a token of their love."
The second lady also had a look of disdain in her eyes. It was a joke that she, a concubine, was worthy of marrying Mr. Lin.
"Bold and crazy girl, talking nonsense." A cold and angry voice sounded behind everyone.
