The main courtyard of the Anguo Mansion.

As soon as Yue Shi walked in the door, before he could sit down and breathe a sigh of relief, he was stunned by the empty room.

"I, where is my stuff? Who took everything from my house!? ”

She looked flustered and irritated and rushed out of the door, and saw An Yueli with four maids blocking outside.

When An Guogong rushed to hear the news, he happened to bump into this scene.

"I've just returned home, what are you doing again?"

"Indeed, my father had just escaped death from the prison and should have rested. But there are some things that need to be made clear in advance. ”

An Yueli paced forward, with an aura that was not to be underestimated.

"This imprisonment was all because of Mrs. Yue. In order to get you out, the prince and I have wasted a lot of effort. Just the dots up and down in the middle are a lot of expenses. ”

She said and glanced at the empty room, "With this money, my father shouldn't have the face to let Prince Xiao come out, right?" ”

An Guogong was dumbfounded for a moment when asked, although he wanted to take advantage of his long-cherished interests, but he also knew that it was already benevolent and righteous for the other party to be able to rescue their family this time.

His lips twitched twice, and An Guogong swallowed his head in pain.

"Of course."

An Yueli looked at his subtle expression in her eyes and smiled.

"But father, don't worry, the things I asked people to pawn are all Mrs. Yue's belongings. I haven't touched any of your treasures.

After all, mundane items like jewelry can be bought everywhere, but rare antiques are hard to find. ”

Hearing this, An Guogong's eyebrows and eyes burst with brilliance, and he actually gave birth to a kind of ecstasy that was lost and regained.

"Hahaha! Yueli, you are still sensible! ”

In contrast, Yue's face was extremely difficult to see. She didn't dare to choke with An Yueli, so she could only cautiously come to An Guogong's side and pull the other party's sleeve sadly.

"Old man......"

"Father."

As she spoke, An Yueli muffled her voice with a louder volume.

"Although the emperor has released you from prison, it does not mean that the case of poisoned food has passed. At the suggestion of the crown prince, the imperial court will continue to track down those who have dealings with underground grain merchants. ”

An Guogong's smile froze on his face, how happy he was just now, how empty he was now.

"This, isn't this already closed? Why do you still need to check? ”

An Yueli didn't bother to explain, and only looked at the Yue clan beside him lightly.

"Everyone knows why this happened. I might as well tell you the truth, the reason why I tried my best to save my mother was because of your involvement.

Therefore, I will return the stewardship to my mother today, and take her to live in the palace of King Xiao. From then on, everyone will return to the bridge and the road will return to the road, and if the government comes to summon the interrogation again in the future, let the people in power go around. ”

"Don't!"

An Guogong was anxious when he heard this, and now for him, An Yueli and Shu Huaixiao are talismans. If he didn't have the bond of Mrs. Jiang, then he wouldn't be able to enjoy the protection of the other party.

"Yueli, don't be impulsive."

An Guogong walked up to her eagerly, and smiled at her courteously and flatteringly.

"I know that Qinglan has been wronged this time, but she is the mother of the Guogong Mansion, and she should share weal and woe with us."

An Yueli grinned sarcastically, "Sharing suffering is done, sharing happiness, but not necessarily, right?" ”

An Guogong was embarrassed by her words, "I promise, in the future, all the big and small affairs in the house will be taken care of by your mother." As long as she says east, I will never go west. ”

"Don't say goodbye, my mother is not the only one who can take care of things in this house. Just like this time, without her father's permission, Mrs. Yue wouldn't dare to raise food outside, right?

On the one hand, you promised to let your mother take power, and on the other hand, you quietly supported Mrs. Yue as the assistant manager, this is trying to play the art of trade-off?

In that case, it is better for me to take my mother and you husband and wife from the beginning, and we will not interact with each other, lest we have to go to hell together in the future. ”

After An Yueli said this, she turned around and wanted to leave, but was blocked by An Guogong with open arms.

"Yueli, we have something to say. I assure you that from now on your mother will be the only one in the house to speak. ”

"Sir!"

Yue Shi couldn't hold back any longer, and retorted with all his might.

"Even if the concubine is wrong, she is running around for the Guogong Mansion, and there is no merit and hard work, right? Besides, the concubine didn't know that those underground grain merchants who killed a thousand knives were selling poisoned grain. ”

As she spoke, she rushed in front of An Yueli, her red eyes as if she was about to quench venom.

"What case still needs to be investigated, you are just trying to coax the master to take back my right to be an assistant housekeeper!"

An Yueli did not deny it, but hooked her lips slightly.

"Yes and how, no? Do you dare to bet? Can you afford to gamble? ”

"You!"

Yue choked, his chest aching so much that he wanted to vomit blood.

An Guogong's eyes wandered between the two, and he chose the side that was beneficial to him quite wisely.

"Yue Yan, if you hadn't stabbed Lou Zi this time, we wouldn't have almost lost our heads. Either way, you deserve to be punished. It's just that I don't let you be the assistant housekeeper, which is already extra gracious. If you mess around again, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Speaking of which, the Yue clan also knew that there was no room for turnaround. can only hate her for being empty, losing both power and wealth.

……

……

A few days later.

"Princess, this is a post from the Eldest Princess's Mansion."

An Yueli took the post with the fragrance of flowers from Huansha's hand, and recognized the dragon flying and phoenix dancing on it at a glance, and the uninhibited font belonged to the lord of Chunxiao.

"Ten days later is the county lord's birthday, and she specially invited the female dependents of the Anguo Mansion to attend the birthday banquet."

"Ladies and daughters? In that case, the lady can go with her. ”

An Yueli tilted her head and thought about it, and the corners of her lips pursed a gentle arc.

"The county lord knows that my mother is sick, and wants to take the opportunity for her to reconnect with the officials and eunuchs in the circle."

Huansha couldn't help but sigh, "Lord Chunxiao is really good to the princess. ”

"Yes." An Yueli was thoughtful, "So I have to give her a big gift." ”

However, before going to the birthday banquet of the county lord of Chunxiao, she first went back to the Xiaowang Mansion.

Knowing that Su Huaixiao was handling official business in the study, An Yueli didn't want to disturb, but she couldn't resist Jiang Chen's enthusiasm.

"This is autumn pear tea that moistens the lungs, and the prince has been busy with official business recently, so it is inevitable that he will be a little anxious. also asked the princess to bring this autumn pear tea in, and urged the prince to make up for it. ”

Taking over the tray, An Yueli was dazzled by the other party's bright smile.

"Okay then."

The door of the study slowly opened, and the elegant sandalwood in the room gently shrouded people, and the impetuous mood was soothed in an instant.

An Yueli sniffed her nose with pleasure and walked to the desk with a smile, but unexpectedly didn't see Su Huaixiao's figure.

"Huh?"

She was about to ask out loud, but she caught a glimpse of the man's slender body through the embroidered screen.
