"What do you mean by that, I'm old and I don't have a good memory. What's wrong? Li Shi looked disdainful, "Boss, I've been putting up with you for a long time, you don't care about the second child's lifelong affairs on weekdays, forget it, I finally left the second child in the Hongwang Mansion today, as soon as you go, I will stir up the old lady, what kind of heart do you have." You don't like Hongwang, what are you, does it matter if you like it or not? In the future, the second child will marry King Hong, and the second child will like it. ”

Li wanted to say these words a long time ago, just to save some face for him just now, who knew that he was so unappreciative, in addition, she is the elder, this boss, relying on herself to be a big official, even her mother is not in her eyes, if you want to reprimand, you can be angry, if you want to get angry, it is really unreasonable.

"Has that mother considered what the consequences would be if the second sister lived in the palace today, and what would be the consequences if both of you stayed in the palace?" An Mingchen saw that she still didn't care, and a touch of coldness appeared in her eyes, "It doesn't matter if my mother doesn't know, I can analyze it for you little by little." If the second sister stays in the palace alone tonight, and there are any rumors outside, the second sister's life will be ruined, and King Hong will find an excuse at will, let alone be a side princess, I am afraid that even a little concubine King Hong will not let her do it. ”

Li was surprised, she didn't expect things to be so serious. An Mingchen ignored her and continued, "If my mother and my second sister stay in Hongwang's Mansion together, the rumors outside will be even more ugly, and when the time comes, my mother, my second sister, and my Huangfu family will all be implicated in this, and when the time comes, we are afraid that we will not even be able to go back to our hometown, so we can only go around for home, even so, in the future, the descendants of the An family will be pointed at if they want to marry and mourn, so does it matter if my mother still thinks it's okay?" ”

This society is like this, filial piety, family education, and style are very important. If there is an immoral person in a family, the whole family will be implicated, there are countless such things, although Li is a rural village woman, but she has also heard a lot. So after An Mingchen said these words, Li was completely frightened.

"Boss, my mother just wants to help the second child, it is not a way for her and the prince to drag on like this, you also know your second sister's thoughts, she recognized the prince, I am also a distressed daughter, you are a big official, well-informed, the prince also appreciates you, as long as you say a word, the prince must have married your second sister a long time ago, boss, you should think about it again, and help your second sister solve this matter as soon as possible."

"Mother, I've said it many times, King Hong is not as simple as you think, and he didn't approach the second sister because he liked it. Now that the An family is not what it used to be, as long as the second sister is willing, it is still okay to marry the son-in-law of a petty official. Why do you have to stare at King Hong. Mother is a person from the past, don't you know what the consequences will be if a woman marries the wrong person? ”

"Boss, what kind of holiday do you have with King Hong, even if you don't like him, you can't slander people like this. People can't be better than being good to me and your second sister. He is the prince, every time we go to the palace, we entertain our children, and we are worried that our subordinates will snub us, and even take us to visit the palace in person, so easy-going people, why is it not good. Li Shi looked displeased, "Forget it, since you still don't want to help the second child, then I'll figure it out myself." ”

"Mother, why don't you believe me, but you must believe an outsider." An Mingchen looked helpless, "I'm the eldest brother of the second sister, will I hurt her?" ”； Li Shi disagreed, "You won't hurt her, but you won't really think about her, boss, I can see that you only have the Huangfu family in your heart, only your daughter-in-law, and we are outsiders in your eyes." Alright, you go back. You won't have to worry about our affairs in the future. ”

"Mother, I didn't mean that......" Eyes swept over the bracelet on her hand, An Mingchen couldn't help but remind again, "Mother, you still don't want to accept Hongwang's things in the future, be careful of getting into trouble." When Li heard this, he became more and more unhappy, "This was given to me by the prince himself, why did I get into trouble." Don't worry, even if you get into trouble, I won't look for you, and in the future, the prince will help us solve the matter between me and my second sister, so you can accompany your daughter-in-law well. Lee turned and went to the inner room.

An Mingchen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he had to give up when he saw this. Huangfu Xue knew that he was in a bad mood, so she pulled her back to the bedroom, "Xianggong, don't worry, my mother and second sister are angry now, and when they think clearly, they will understand your hard work." An Mingchen was not so optimistic, "Looking at the current situation, they won't figure it out for a while." In fact, I'm not afraid of any trouble they will cause, I'm worried that King Hong has bad intentions. ”

"You found out too." Huang Fuxue hurriedly said, "Do you think that something is wrong with today's things, although King Hong has been ambiguous with the second sister, but we can all see that the second sister took the initiative, and today, King Hong not only took the initiative but also looked reluctant, as if it was inseparable from the second sister, if you look carefully, King Hong has no reluctance in his eyes, that is to say, everything today is performed by King Hong, what is the purpose?" At first, I was very strange, but when I got to the door, I finally understood after King Hong's words. ”

"You're right, he made such a big battle for you." This is also what An Mingchen is most worried about, "I'm sorry lady, it's useless for me, if I'm strong enough, you don't have to put yourself in this danger today because of saving me." An Mingchen looked self-reproachful, and stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, "When I go to Ningcheng, I will be even more worried about leaving you here alone, plus my mother and second sister, I will start worrying before I leave." ”

'How can it be so exaggerated as you say, don't worry, King Hong is not easy to deal with, my Huangfu Xue is not a soft persimmon, he has his calculations, and I still have my plans. In short, in the end, I will let King Hongwang know what will happen if he offends me. On the way back, Huang Fuxue had already thought about it, since King Hong had to provoke her, then she would let her know what would happen if she offended her, and there would be some people who didn't have long eyes in the future.

An Mingchen's face improved a little when he heard this, but he was still not at ease, "King Hong is insidious and cunning, even the emperor has no way to deal with him immediately, you better be careful, it is not good for you to let her catch anything." An Mingchen knew that Huangfu Xue was not a loser, but King Hong was also a difficult bone to gnaw, and he was really worried that Huangfu Xue would suffer. Huangfu Xue knew that An Mingchen would not be relieved no matter what he said now, so he simply changed the topic.

"Did you notice that the second sister was wearing a pair of bracelets on her hands just now, it looks like she should have bought them newly. I'm afraid this bracelet is not cheap, so much money from the second sister? "The An sisters have pocket money every month, but it's not a lot, and it's only enough to buy some rouge gouache. If you're looking for something else, you'll have to find another way. When Li Xian put the bracelet just now, An Wanru didn't say a word, if the bracelet was given by the prince, she would not be so low-key, then there is only one truth, the bracelet was bought by herself, as for the money......

"Xianggong, do you think the money for the second sister to buy the bracelet will be the third sister's." She just gave her a hundred taels this morning, if that's the case, the matter will be explained, but the Li family is too much, they are also daughters, how can she be so favoritistic, is it because An Qinyue is kind, filial piety, and forbearance, can she bully her casually?

An Mingchen's face was not very good, and he got up and planned to go to the Li family. Huangfu Xue stretched out her hand to grab him, "Forget it, even if you go to the past, your mother won't admit it, even if you force you to admit it in the end, your mother also has the ability to push this matter onto the third sister." Forget it, I'll ask the magpie to take some silver to make up for the third sister. ”

The magpie took the silver ticket over, and after a while, he took it back as it was, "Miss, the third miss said, she has no place to use the money, and it is useless to take it, in addition, the second miss will not give it to the second miss, and the second miss will have to trouble the young lady again, so he still doesn't want it." ”

"This girl is still as sensible as ever, but the more sensible she is, the more I feel sorry for her." It's also a mother, why is there such a big gap? An Wanru can't wait to move all the things in the shop back every time she goes shopping, but An Qinyue, she doesn't go shopping for ten days and half a month, even if she goes shopping, how do you go in the end, how do you come back. Sometimes she really can't stand it, so she personally helps her choose some things and send them back.

"Well, since she insisted, so be it. After the big deal, you buy more things for her to bring over. "An Mingchen doesn't understand these things, seeing that the hour is not early, he helped Huangfu Xue start to read the account book, today because of the delay in going to the palace, if you don't hurry up, don't think about resting tonight. Huangfu Xue also remembered the account book, and began to get busy after explaining a few words to the magpie.

The two of them were almost busy until they finished reading the ledger.

Around noon on the second day, An Qinyue suddenly remembered that she had made an appointment with her little sister today, in the restaurant opposite the silk village, she didn't want her sister-in-law to break the bank, but she forgot that her money bag was taken away by the Li family, and it was about to come to the appointed time, she was now penniless, how to settle the bill later?

Huangfu Xue and An Mingchen were not there, and An Qinyue panicked all of a sudden. Standing at the gate of the silk village, walking around with an anxious face. Zheng Nianyuan passed by the door, thinking that he was dazzled at first, but when he returned to see that it was really An Qinyue, "Miss An, why are you here?" What's wrong with you? Zheng Nianyuan saw that her face was not very good, and she looked very anxious, it seemed that something should have happened. Subconsciously ask.

An Qinyue has never borrowed silver like others since she was a child, she is not very familiar with Zheng Nianyuan, and now she has to borrow money, how awkward she thinks, she hesitates for a long time and doesn't know how to speak. Seeing this, Zheng Nianyuan was even more worried, "Miss An has something to say, if she can help in the next place, she will definitely do her best." ”
