My husband married a concubine? I turned around and married the cold prince.

Her eyes widened, her lips moved, and she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

"What do you want to say? You say that I am also from the Marquis' Mansion, and that we all prosper together and suffer together?" An Qingqian seemed to have figured out what Zhang was saying, and said what she was thinking.

"Zhang, I'm not afraid either. You know, even if Xue Wanxian committed a capital crime punishable by the extermination of his entire clan, I would be pardoned. Do you know why?

Because I am the daughter of An Zhenyuan, my father is a general guarding the border, and you are nothing, have made no contribution to the court, and even this marquisate is inherited.

Your son Xue Wanxian is even more of a waste!"

Looking at Zhang's look as if she had seen a ghost, An Qingqian was very satisfied.

Since her rebirth, she finally vented her anger in front of Zhang.

"So go back and think carefully about who helped Xue Wanxian get such a light punishment this time. Don't try to provoke me again. If you make me angry, I will really kill you. Do you believe it?"

An Qingqian's voice was very low when she spoke the last two sentences, but they exploded like a ball of fireworks in Zhang's mind, and then fell to the ground and turned into a pool of ashes.

She hardly dared to look An Qingqian in the eye. Her brain was no longer able to think, but her body seemed to sense the danger and she subconsciously took two steps back. Because she was so frightened, she had no strength left in her body and she fell directly to the ground.

Her eyes were filled with fear and her body was shaking. She looked up at An Qingqian in a daze.

"Madame Chen, what are you doing? Hurry up and take the old lady back. If anything happens to her, will you be responsible?"

An Qingqian's light eyes fell on Nanny Chen again. Nanny Chen looked at An Qingqian blankly. She was frightened by her eyes, and helped Zhang up and ran away.

As for the others, seeing that the two men were in such a miserable state, they did not dare to make any move and fled in panic, fearing that An Qingqian would take revenge on them later.

They saw with their own eyes that An Qingqian frightened the old lady so much that she sat on the ground in an unruly manner.

She even dared to attack the old lady, let alone these small fry.

Nanny Chen and Zhang staggered back to their rooms. Nanny Chen was fine, she didn't hear clearly what An Qingqian said.

Zhang was completely frightened. Having enjoyed wealth and glory for so many years, she was reluctant to lose everything and did not want her son to be punished by the emperor.

In the early years, she supported the entire marquisate, and she did have some abilities.

But in the past two years, she had been plotting against An Qingqian, and An Qingqian had been standing in front of her to protect her. She gradually became lax and almost forgot that this was the capital, the emperor's capital.

She was just an old lady in a marquis's mansion, and her son was just a marquis without real power.

"Madame Chen, tell me, if the eunuch goes back today and tells the emperor everything he saw here, will the emperor issue an imperial decree to punish us?"

Zhang sat in the chair, trembling, and stammering, barely able to utter a complete sentence.

"Madam, no, we did that today for a reason. The emperor is a wise ruler and will not punish others at will."

Nanny Chen comforted her.

In her opinion, today's incident was all because of An Qingqian. If An Qingqian hadn't taken the silver, why would they do this? And let the people in the palace laugh at them.

"Besides, we can't be blamed for what happened today. If An Qingqian had handed over the silver earlier, we wouldn't have to do this.

Old Madam, you are An's mother-in-law. Even if you teach her a lesson, no one else will say anything. After all, this is just a family matter, and the emperor will not interfere in other people's family affairs."

Nanny Chen directly blamed everything on An Qingqian.

Listening to Nanny Chen's well-reasoned analysis, Zhang actually felt that it made a lot of sense.

Yes, it was just a family matter, and besides, she didn't really let the servants do anything to An Qingqian.

"Hmph, this little bitch, sooner or later, I will torture her and let her know how powerful I am." Zhang came to her senses and blamed An Qingqian again.

It was An Qingqian who deliberately said that just now that scared me. She is such a scheming woman.

"Madam, what should we do now? I checked the account books overnight.

There is nothing wrong with the account book, but there is not much silver. If the 330,000 taels of silver are not returned, the daily expenses of the Marquis' Mansion will not be able to be maintained at all."

Thinking of the 330,000 taels of silver, Nanny Chen felt extremely painful.

That's 330,000 taels of silver, enough for the Marquis's Mansion to squander for many years.

But they all fell into An Qingqian's hands.

"I'll find a way to deal with this matter." Zhang was also very annoyed.

She originally thought that as long as the power of managing the family returned to her hands, the entire mansion would be under her control.

She didn't expect that the manager Zhang, whom she trusted the most, actually gave the silver to An Qingqian. She only found out about it now.

Now she is in a dilemma.

When Xiao Fuzi returned to the palace, the emperor and the empress were having dinner together.

Xiao Fuzi was sensible and didn't say anything. She just glanced at her master, Eunuch Sheng, and stood aside obediently.

As soon as Xiao Fuzi arrived, he saw a eunuch walking in from outside.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of the Xianwang Mansion has arrived."

"Let him in." The emperor smiled kindly upon hearing this.

Shi Qiuwu walked in quickly, "Greetings to the Emperor and the Empress."

"Okay, get up quickly. We are all family, why are there so many rules?" The emperor couldn't help but feel dissatisfied when he saw Shi Qiuwu being so formal.

"I've already told you that you don't have to call us the Emperor or Empress. Just call us Uncle Royal and Aunt Royal."

"Yes, Qiu Wu knows."

"Sit down now."

"Thank you, Uncle Huang."

"That's great, Qiuwu. The imperial kitchen has developed some new dishes today. Let's try them together." The queen smiled gently when she saw Qiuwu.

"Yes."

Several people were chatting, and the scene was very harmonious and warm. If someone who didn't know saw it, they would think Shi Qiuwu was the emperor and empress's child.

Because Shi Qiuwu hardly cared about worldly affairs, what he talked about with the emperor were almost all about Buddhism.

"Qiuwu, every time I chat with you, I feel that the headache I got after reading the memorials is better, and my mood becomes more open." The emperor looked at Shi Qiuwu with a smile.

"Uncle Emperor, you are too kind. Qiu Wu didn't say anything. Uncle Emperor is the wisest man. He was just confused by these things for a while."

At this time, the queen suddenly noticed Xiao Fuzi standing next to her.

"Xiao Fuzi, have you brought something back for An Qingqian?" the queen asked casually.

"To reply to the Queen, that's right."

"What's the situation at Lin'an Marquis' Mansion? Is the relationship between Xue Wanxian and An Qingqian really that bad?"
