The youngest daughter cried so hard that her heart broke. An Zhengqian could only grit his teeth and throw away her hand, "No way! You can only spend so much money to help that gambler!"
"I have no choice." An Zhengqian sat aside dejectedly, raising his finger to point in the direction of An Ruowan, "She has already grasped this matter in her hands. She can't destroy the entire Prime Minister's Mansion just for you. !”
An Zhining knelt on the ground in despair, looking at An Ruowan with a sinister look in her eyes, "Sister, it's really a good trick."
"Not as powerful as your methods."
Seeing An Zhining's eyes as if she was going to be widowed, An Ruowan just raised his eyebrows at her, "Don't wait early tomorrow morning, just send the person out tonight, so as not to let the people watch tomorrow and lose your prime minister's house." face."
"Oh, right."
An Ruowan said to Caihuan next to her: "Take off the bracelet on her hand."
Hearing that she was about to take off her bracelet, An Zhining struggled, "This is what the Dowager Empress gave me! What qualifications do you have to take it away!"
"This is a royal thing. It might be inappropriate to keep it on you. Don't worry, I won't swallow this bracelet. I will have someone return it to the prince for you."
After all, Caihuan was a little stronger and forcefully took off the jade bracelet from An Zhining's wrist!
Although An Zhining was unwilling, she could only huddle next to Meng Zhiyi and cry.
An Ruowan left a sarcastic smile, turned around and left with Qingfeng and Caihuan.
Back in the courtyard, An Ruowan asked Caihuan to hand the bracelet to Qingfeng and said, "Go back and thank your prince for me."
"Princess, you're welcome." Qingfeng lowered his head from beginning to end, accepted the order, and left An Ruowan's yard.
An Ruowan was about to go back to his room when An Huaiming chased him from the front hall, panting, "Ruowan!"
Turning around, An Ruowan saw An Huaiming standing outside the courtyard.
Caihuan whispered from the side: "Miss, do you want my servant to take care of the third young master for you?"
"No, you go ahead and do your work. You have nothing to do here."
"Yes, miss."
An Ruowan walked to the courtyard gate and looked at An Huaiming indifferently, "Is there anything else?"
"After this, my brothers, father and mother have also received the punishment they deserve. I want to apologize to you on their behalf."
"I think they hate me to the core and want to strangle me to death right away. What are you here to apologize for?"
An Huaiming's face turned pale, "I know this is all their fault. If you are kind-hearted..."
"you are wrong."
An Ruowan interrupted what he was about to say, stared at An Huaiming with her dark eyes, and smiled coldly, "I'm a person who always retaliates."
"like……"
An Ruowan turned around and raised her hand, "Chunmei, see you off."
At this moment in Prince Rong's palace.
There was a bright candle lit on the desk in Gu Beichen's room. He seemed to be reading a book. When he heard Qingfeng's words, his lips curved.
"She is really courageous, but I just nudged her a little, and she almost brought down the prime minister's house."
Qingfeng respectfully placed the bracelet on the desk, "Your Majesty, this is the bracelet that the Concubine gave to the Second Miss of the An family. The Concubine asked her subordinates to return it to you."
Glancing at the white jade bracelet on the table, Gu Beichen's eyes were filled with an unknown smile, "She actually asked you to throw this hot potato to me."
"That's all. Return the jade bracelet tomorrow and pass a message to the palace for me."
"yes."
It was deeper in the night, and the clapper rang three times, and the Xiangfu's carriage drove out in the silent night. In the carriage was An Zhining, who was sleeping soundly.
Meng Zhiyi stood at the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, wiping her tears, "Sir! How could you really be willing to send our daughter to Zhuangzi! She has never suffered like this!"
"Do you still want to wait for this matter to become a big deal and get out of hand?!"
"My poor daughter..." Meng Zhiyi looked at the departing carriage with tears in her eyes, "What evil has this done!"
An Ruowan had a good sleep. Early the next morning, Caihuan came in with a basin to help her wash up and talked about what happened last night.
"Miss, the master and his wife really didn't dare to delay. They sent him out at midnight last night."
An Zhengqian has always been self-interested, so she expected that he would send An Zhining away honestly.
"knew."
"And Miss." Caihuan put down the basin and walked over to take out the letter in her arms, "I received this letter at the front door this morning from the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo to you, Miss."
An Ruowan took the letter and opened it, looked at it carefully, frowned slightly, her cousin still wanted to go to the disaster relief.
But the difference from the previous life was that when he went out to provide disaster relief this time, he did not take Li Kui with him, but brought cousin Song Yuan with him.
She closed the letter and said, "Caihuan, you have been paying more attention to the Zhenguo Palace these days. If there is any news about disaster relief, please tell me immediately."
"It's Miss."
The bracelet that An Ruowan delivered to Gu Beichen yesterday was now returned intact to Princess Zhen's palace by Qingfeng.
Concubine Zhen picked up the jade bracelet in the tray, looked at it carefully, and then looked at Qingfeng who was kneeling on His Highness, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"The prince said that this bracelet is precious, and some people's status is not worthy of the jade bracelet given by the empress."
"hehe."
Princess Zhen chuckled twice, raised her eyes slightly, and the person next to her took the table down, "Then does he know the character of that girl An Ruowan? If he wants to marry her as the princess, wouldn't it make everyone in the royal family laugh? !”
"Return to your Majesty, the prince wants his subordinates to reply to your Majesty. Even if the princess he believes is dead, he will marry her back to the palace."
The implication of these words was to warn Princess Zhen not to take any other actions.
Concubine Zhen closed her nails, but her expression did not change at all, "Go back, I know."
"My subordinates will retire first."
There was silence in the hall.
Qing Fang screened away the other maids in the palace and reported what happened on the long street yesterday one by one, "Your Majesty, An Zhining's move seems to be useless."
"If she can't be a royal concubine, then I will make her my concubine."
Concubine Zhen looked up at Qingfang with an undisguised smile, "This matter is getting more and more interesting. Let's find an opportunity for An Ruowan to come to the palace."
Qingfang nodded in agreement, "Yes."
In the early morning of the next day, Caihuan fetched water to wash An Ruowan.
"Miss, I asked someone to give Song Zhiming a hundred taels and sent him out of the city. He won't dare to return to the capital for a while."
"Yeah, well done."
Caihuan couldn't help but remind in a low voice, "Miss, this Song Zhiming is not a kind person. If you let him out this time, you may be letting the tiger return to the mountain."
"Let the tiger return to the mountain?"
An Ruowan gently raised her lips and sneered, "He is like a mad dog now. After he licks his wounds, I will not be the only one who wants revenge."
