Bai Lu realized that she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly slapped her mouth, "Madam, I said the wrong thing with your dirty talk. Don't take it to heart."
An Qien smiled lightly, "It doesn't matter, but you still have to be careful about your words and deeds outside. After all, this is the Marquis Mansion."
Bai Lu's nervous expression eased and she breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, madam."
Back at Qiushui Residence, An Qien went directly to the study and told Qingbi, "Grind the ink."
An Qien took out rice paper.
Qingbi said while polishing the ink, "Madam, after working hard these days, it's better to rest for two days. The prince has recovered, so you can relax."
Qingbi thought that the lady was studying hard for the prince's body again.
During the days when Qiao Jianghong was ill, An Qien not only had to take care of him, but also stayed up all day and night to study and study the medical skills passed down from his ancestors.
To avoid forgetting, she would record every book she read on rice paper.
For the past three years, Qingbi's persistence has never stopped day and night, and Qingbi felt unwilling to give in to her.
The madam treats the prince sincerely, but she didn't expect that the prince would have second thoughts in his early days.
An Qien smiled lightly, "I am writing to my father. My son has recovered from his serious illness. This is a happy event. I have to inform my father so that he will not continue to worry about me."
Qingbi laughed stupidly, "Well, Madam has to send a letter to the Master so that she can return home with the Crown Prince."
Come back?
An Qi'en paused in his heart. He should have returned the next day after getting married, but Qiao Jianghong was a living dead at that time.
Now that she was fine, she no longer wanted to follow him back home.
Thinking of An Mansion, many people flashed through An Qien's mind. After much thought, only brother Shi Qing and sister Weinuan could make her raise the corners of her mouth.
Qingbi was quick-witted. Seeing An Qien's complicated thoughts, she asked softly, "Does Madam blame the eldest lady?"
An Qi'en shook his head and said slowly, "No matter who you are, you will protect your biological children. I am a concubine, and the eldest lady has not treated me harshly in these years. There is nothing to complain about."
If she was to blame, the one she deserved most was her father whose blood was thicker than water.
In her last life, she discovered that Shen Shuli had committed adultery with her brother-in-law, but Shen Shuli unjustly accused her of it. Qiao Jianghong sent her back to the An family with a letter of divorce.
Mr. An wanted to beat her to death with a stick for the sake of his family's reputation.
It was the eldest lady who spent a whole night talking and begging for love, and finally An Qien was kicked out of An Mansion to fend for herself.
An Qi'en swore to God and begged her father to help her investigate the matter thoroughly and clear her name. As long as the matter comes to light, the An family's reputation will naturally not be damaged.
But her father didn't believe her in his heart. He was afraid that the more people investigated, the more people would find out and the An family would lose face.
He insisted on driving her out.
Later, she was pushed into the river by Shen Shuli and drowned alive.
Thinking of these, she lost her mind. She had to live a new life, and she had to live for herself.
At this time, Bai Lu came in and reported, "Madam, the Crown Prince is here."
With a gentle expression, An Qien packed the written letter and gave it to Qingbi, "Send someone to deliver it to An's house."
Qingbi, "Yes."
Qiao Jianghong walked in with a little guilt in his eyes. When he saw the room full of books and the neat stacks of medical books on the table, he felt a little more moved.
"Your Majesty." An Qi'en saluted with a calm expression.
"Qien, I have worked hard for you these years. I will keep your kindness to me in mind, and I will treat you twice as well in the future."
He said it sincerely.
"This is my duty, the prince does not need to worry about it." An Qien's expression was indifferent.
Qiao Jianghong knew that bringing Shen Shuli back was a bit humiliating.
But he couldn't wait any longer. He couldn't let Shen Shuli suffer outside.
The most important thing is that I can't bear the pain of lovesickness.
He said, "Shu Li is just a concubine. It will not affect your position as the mistress of the house. I will also exercise discretion."
An Qi'en sneered in his heart, he said the same thing in his last life.
But the fact is that he later spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and Shen Shuli's tail was raised to the sky.
Not only did he not warn him, but he was afraid of offending his little heart.
An Qien said calmly, "I sent a letter to my father. If the prince is free in two days, he can come back with me. If not, it doesn't matter."
"How can a husband not make amends when a bride returns home? Don't worry, madam, I won't let you lose face in the An family."
He was not only afraid of losing face to the An family, but also to losing the face of the Hou family.
To avoid being called a wolf-hearted person.
An Qien responded, "Okay."
In fact, it doesn't matter to An Qi'en whether he goes or not.
"Is there anything else, Your Majesty?" An Qi'en saw that he still had no intention of leaving after finishing the matter.
Qiao Jianghong was hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to ask her something.
"Your Majesty, you might as well speak up if you have something to say."
Qiao Jianghong then said, "Grandma, mother, forced me to sleep with you, I..."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Grandma, if my mother asks, I will tell you that I am not feeling well and cannot serve you."
An Qien interrupted Qiao Jianghong.
A trace of surprise flashed in Qiao Jianghong's eyes. He meant that he might as well take advantage of his grandmother and mother's wish.
They are already called husband and wife, and they should behave as husband and wife.
Hearing what An Qi'en said, Qiao Jianghong felt a little disappointed in his heart.
The servant came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Madam, Miss Shen is here."
Qiao Jianghong went out immediately.
Shen Shuli stood delicately in the middle of the yard. When she saw Qiao Jianghong coming out, she saluted.
"What's the matter?" Qiao Jianghong asked her in a very gentle tone.
"Old lady, let me come to the lady's yard to serve as a maid."
When Shen Shuli mentioned the word maid, she pinched her handkerchief and shed tears.
She looked around and saw no one around, then lowered her voice and said, "Brother Jiang Hong, you said you wouldn't let me be your concubine. You said you would let me be your concubine. I know you can't help yourself. I'm willing to be your concubine as long as you can." I am content to serve you.”
"But now that the old lady wants me to be a rough maid, I might as well marry a country man, who is also a real wife after all."
Shen Shuli cried because of the pear blossoms and the rain.
Qiao Jianghong's heart was broken by crying. He would never let his beloved suffer such injustice.
Making her my concubine was already wronging her.
"Don't cry. I'll tell Qi En about this. She's reasonable and won't treat you poorly."
An Qien stood at the door and heard their conversation.
"Your Majesty, since Miss Shen will be your aunt sooner or later, why not come to your room to be your maid, and then take her as your concubine when the time is right."
Shen Shuli immediately stopped crying and looked at An Qien in disbelief.
I didn't expect her to be so tolerant and easy to talk to.
The mistress of the house, the wife of brother Jiang Hong, who is married to a matchmaker, is so pure and beautiful, with a graceful figure and a beauty that makes it hard to take your eyes away.
Will her brother Jiang Hong be seduced?
After being stunned for two seconds, Shen Shuli thanked her in surprise, "Thank you madam, thank you madam for helping me. Shuli is willing to work as a horse for madam."
An Qien said, "It's good to be a cow and a horse for the prince."
Let's see how long their 'true love' lasts?
Qiao Jianghong felt strange when he heard this, but he couldn't tell what was strange.
