Yu Lan was shocked. Who would have thought that Anfu's needles were all different? This sloppiness in details finally caused a fatal blow.
She had a stiff face and was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it. The two elders of the Yu family were also ashamed and didn't know what to say.
They never thought that a kind-hearted daughter would use such despicable means to fight for favor. If word of this spread, all the girls in the Yu family would be unable to behave.
What a shame.
Jiang's eyes widened in surprise. She didn't know this. If she had known this, she wouldn't have humbly sued for peace with the Yu family.
She never imagined that Yu Lan would do such a thing, the tiger's poison would not eat its seeds.
Jiang suddenly changed his face and faced Yu Lan, and was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Yu Lan felt that she couldn't stay in An Mansion any longer, so she reluctantly said, "Since the uncle knows, let's make peace with her. You can also give Aunt Lin a position as the main wife."
"Where's Brother Ping? Why did he lack a father and a mother?" An Shi'an was very calm.
Yu Lan excitedly held the corner of the table: "Brother Ping is what I paid for with my life. I hope that I will give him to my concubine. If I want to have a child, Aunt Lin and Second Aunt will give birth to An Fu."
Jiang slapped the table excitedly: "Brother Ping is a bloodline of my An family. He is the legitimate son of the An family. What a dream. You can do such a scandal and even your own son can take advantage of it. What shame do you have to ask Brother Ping?" Son, you are not worthy to be Brother Ping’s mother!”
These words penetrated deeply into Yu Lan's heart. She was speechless and could only lower her head and sob. She had sacrificed her life for Brother Ping. How could she not love or hurt him? She was just walking and walking to get rid of Lin Yanyun. Just a change to the peaceful days ahead.
Although this trick was stupid, it had a great chance of winning. Unexpectedly, he still lost in the details.
The two elders of the Yu family have lost all face. The Yu family was originally very reasonable, but now they are really embarrassed.
An Shi'an still spoke calmly: "This matter is over for me. I will never do such stupid things again in the future. I haven't seen Brother Ping for a few days, and I miss him a little. I've been talking about Ping for the past two days." Brother, please bring it back."
Yu Lan was shocked and moved. She didn't expect that An Shi'an would let her go regardless of past suspicions, and without any blame.
She had mixed feelings in her heart, and it was his gentleness, tolerance, and generosity that made her suffer even more. He did this to her and to Lin Yanyun. Thinking of this, she felt it was torture.
She remained silent, confused and helpless.
The two elders of the Yu family spoke with joy.
"Son-in-law is magnanimous. I read you right. Lan'er only did such stupid things when she was confused. She will never do such a thing again in the future."
"Both husband and wife are getting along. As long as they get along well, we will teach Lan'er well."
The An family's willingness to not care about it is a gift to the family. If this matter breaks out, the life of the girl who has not left the Yu family will be ruined.
Jiang warned Yu Lan with a straight face: "Lan'er, I think this is your first offender, so I won't argue with you this time. If it happens again, don't blame me, An Mansion, for being unkind."
Mother Yu answered with a flattering smile: "Don't worry, my parents will never do it again."
The parents of the two families discussed it for a while, stayed in An Mansion for lunch before going back, and that was how the matter was settled.
In the afternoon, the Yu Mansion sent someone to bring Brother Ping back. In order to make Yu Lan long in memory, Jiang took Brother Ping into her care temporarily.
Although Yu Lan was extremely reluctant to give up, she didn't dare to have any objections.
After coming back, Yu Lan sat on the couch in front of the window in a daze, feeling dejected and feeling that her life was extremely boring. She regretted for the first time that she insisted on marrying someone she didn't love.
She would rather An Shi'an be cold-blooded and ruthless than this tenderness that alternates between hot and cold.
Liu'er comforted her a few words, and Yu Lan's mood was still damp after months of heavy rain.
Qingbi came supporting An Qien.
Yu Lan put away her confused mood and stood up with a strong smile: "Happy princess."
When the matter was revealed, she was really too embarrassed to see the princess.
"Sister-in-law, no gifts."
An Qi'en's tone was as usual, and there was no trace of alienation or estrangement towards Lan.
Yu Lan asked Liu'er to make tea.
The two sat on the soft couch in front of the window. Yu Lan thought about it and took the initiative to mention the scandal she had done.
"Sister, actually I...I had no choice but to...come out here..."
An Qien took a sip of tea to quench her thirst. How could she not understand? Which woman who truly loves her husband can watch her husband become so inseparable?
It is precisely because of the depth of love that flustered people will do conspiracy things.
An Qien said meaningfully: "Sister-in-law, in this world, Lin Yanyun is not a woman, nor is my brother a man. If a woman in the backyard lives dependent on a man, she will inevitably worry about gains and losses."
She paused and talked about her days in the Hou Mansion: "The most unreasonable expectation in this world is a man's heart. Don't expect to be together for the rest of your life. We women have to have our own things to do, and of course the little white rabbit can't do that. Some things don’t need to go through your own hands.”
"Tian Kaijiang, Guyezi, and Gongsunjie of the Qi State were sworn brothers. They took credit for their service, were arrogant, and intended to seize power. However, in the end, they all died because of the two peaches, and Yan Ying was defeated with no soldiers or horses. Eradicate the evil forces.”
"Sister-in-law should not be in a hurry and lose her sense of proportion for a moment. She will kill someone with a sword without using a sword. A woman is plotting but poisonous. A woman is kind and cannot be bullied. Only then can she raise her children in the backyard of this deep house."
Yu Lan suddenly understood and had a sudden enlightenment. Her eyes flashed and she said with emotion: "Hearing my sister's words today is worth reading a book. I have benefited a lot."
An Qi'en smiled slightly and continued: "It won't be long before our family returns to Beijing. At that time, my sister-in-law will have to take care of the affairs of such a big family. Unlike in this courtyard where there are few people, nothing will happen. In a few years Brother Ping is going to study and pursue an official career, so he must be cautious every step of the way and not let others take advantage of him."
"What my sister said is extreme. I was too impatient and did stupid things. I will think twice before doing anything in the future."
An Qien smiled and nodded.
Yu Lan looked at An Qien's slightly swollen belly and asked with concern: "My sister is getting heavier and heavier. She is much more pregnant than I was then. She needs to take a good rest."
An Qien answered with a smile: "I guess it may be twins or multiple fetuses. The month is too young and it is not accurate enough to take the pulse. It will be possible to find out in a few days."
Yu Lan was pleasantly surprised. Multiple births were a great blessing, but mothers suffered too much. Since ancient times, there have been few cases of multiple births.
"Sister, you are so lucky, you just have to work harder."
An Qien stroked her belly and smiled gently: "Hard work is nothing, as long as they are all safe."
Yu Lan: "Your Majesty will be very happy to see the children when he comes back."
