Even though the original owner was Princess He'an, she had always disliked Aunt Du and would scold her at any time.
But Aunt Du remains the same.
Everyone in the mansion mocked and ridiculed Aunt Du, but she didn't care.
But no one doubted her, and everyone thought that Aunt Du did this just to curry favor with the legitimate daughter.
It was not until the incident happened that everyone understood what had happened, but she did her best to distance herself from the original owner.
When Princess He'an was furious and wanted to execute them, she did her best to protect the original owner, only asking Princess He'an to spare the innocent original owner's life.
"Young Master..." Nanny Zuo tugged at Yan Qingning's sleeve.
Yan Qingning was pulled back to her senses and found that many eyes were on her.
There were too many people, so she did not look at them one by one. When she met the gloomy gaze of Princess He An, she calmly withdrew her gaze and said lightly, "Let's go."
Princess He'an snorted coldly and walked into the yard with Yan Xiwei. Some people gathered behind the mother and daughter.
Others retreated to the sides. They were all concubines and concubines of low status.
Among them are Aunt Du and the original owner's half-sister Yan Qingyi.
The little girl is thin and slender, and looks like her mother, with delicate features. It is obvious that she will be a beauty when she grows up.
Although she is ten years old, she looks like a child of seven or eight years old.
The little girl looked at her with sparkling eyes and was also happy.
As far as she could remember, the original owner had always treated Yan Qingyi as a concubine's sister and wasn't very nice to her. It seemed like they had hardly even spoken to her.
When the group arrived in front of the central hall, Princess He'an waved her hand and said, "Everyone who has nothing to do can go back."
Most of the people left one after another, but Aunt Du and her daughter were the only ones who were still standing outside the door with no intention of leaving. They planned to take Yan Qingning to her yard to have some private conversation with her.
Princess He'an gave Concubine Hui some face, "Madam Zuo, why don't you go to Ningxin Garden to rest first? The backyard has been cleaned up..."
Nanny Zuo stood behind Yan Qingning, her expression stern, "Thank you, Princess He'an. This old servant is not tired."
However, at this time, two housekeepers surrounded her and said with a smile that they should go to the hall next door to have tea and snacks. One of them told her to rest and wait, and then enthusiastically pulled her away.
After Princess He'an finished speaking, she stepped into the room.
Even if Yan Qingning didn't understand the twists and turns here, she knew that she couldn't leave without Princess He'an's permission.
She followed Princess He'an and others into the flower hall.
The hall is spacious and bright, with luxurious decoration.
Zhongshu Ling Yan Feng was sitting in the main seat, with tea mist curling up beside him, his eyes fell on Yan Qingning.
The Yan family has good genes. Although they are already in their thirties, they look very young. They are graceful and have extraordinary appearance. They exude the dignity of being in a high position.
Yan Xiwei bowed slightly and said, "My daughter greets father and mother."
She did not feel the joy of reuniting with her parents after a long separation.
Yan Qingning stood behind Yan Xiwei, didn't say anything, but also followed suit and saluted.
"Stop bowing, Wei'er, and come sit next to your mother."
Princess He'an looked distressed. As she spoke, she pulled Yan Xiwei's hand and led her to the chair, "Are you unhappy? How come you have lost so much weight in just a few months? Look at your chin, it's become pointy."
"They are just some troublesome trivial matters. Mother doesn't have to worry about her." Yan Xiwei said softly.
After sitting down, her eyes swept over Yan Qingning, and a hint of contempt flashed across them.
Yan Feng coughed lightly, "Ning'er, sit down too."
Princess He'an's eyes suddenly turned cold, but when she turned around, she smiled and said, "My Lord, don't you still have official business to attend to? We haven't seen each other for several months, so we can talk about personal matters."
Yan Feng frowned slightly, and could only stand up and said, "Then you guys can talk, I'm going to the study."
His performance satisfied Princess He'an, who kept watching Yan Feng leave the yard with a smile on her face. When Yan Feng disappeared from her view, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.
Only then did he set his gaze on Yan Qingning. He saw that she had not looked thinner or more haggard after not seeing her for a few months. Instead, her facial features became more radiant, and her skin was as white and tender as a peeled egg.
She seemed to have grown taller and had a slimmer figure. She was exactly the type that men liked, but she was exactly the type that she hated.
Princess He'an thought of the news her daughter had sent back, and her eyes suddenly became fierce. She shouted, "Evil creature, kneel down!"
Yan Qingning's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her mind tensed up instantly. She straightened her body a little more than before, and asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "The princess asked me to kneel when we met. I wonder what I did wrong?"
When she heard the news, she wondered if it would be directed at her.
I didn't expect it was really directed at me.
Aunt Du, who was waiting outside, heard this and subconsciously wanted to step forward, but was stopped by the maids guarding the door on both sides.
She looked anxious and wanted to say something, but was afraid of causing trouble for her daughter.
However, Princess He'an never thought that Yan Qingning would dare to disobey her orders. She was instantly furious and slammed her hand on the coffee table beside her: "Why, do you think that you have become powerful now that you have entered Prince Qing's mansion, and that I, your mother, can no longer control you?"
The clinking sound of the teacups added a sense of tension and oppression to the atmosphere in the room.
Princess He'an's eyes were particularly fierce, and her words were even more contemptuous, "That's because you are blinded and your heart is blinded by lard.
You have the blood of my Yan family running in your body, so you will always have the surname Yan.
Even if I, your stepmother, can't control you, I still have my daughter. Whether I sell you off or kill you, it's all just a matter of my daughter's words!"
Princess He'an simply attributed it to her daughter being too soft and kind, which contributed to Yan Qingning's arrogance.
Yan Qingning's pair of black eyes looked back at the woman without avoiding or dodging, and the woman's face was full of a sharp and almost mean expression.
She looked at herself as if she were an ant.
"Really?" Yan Qingning said lightly, but she sneered in her heart. Did they really think she was dead and let them do whatever they wanted?
In her memory, Princess He'an was not a good person and was very domineering.
She was extremely harsh towards her illegitimate daughter.
The entire backyard of the Zhongshu Mansion was under her control, and she never concealed her disgust for the illegitimate children.
In the past ten years or so, Yan Xiwei had suffered a lot of torture at her hands. Being forced to stand, kneel, and copy Buddhist scriptures was commonplace.
But with Yan Feng's protection, every time, there was only a chaos between Yan Feng and Princess He'an.
But Yan Xiwei grew up gradually and learned how to behave herself, so Princess He'an rarely punished her because of her coaxing.
She is not the original owner, so she is not afraid of those wearing shoes if she is barefoot. Since she is here, she is naturally prepared and has no problem protecting herself.
In the entire Yan Mansion, Princess He'an always has the final say and is all-powerful. No one has ever dared to provoke her like this.
Her face suddenly became fierce, and she gritted her teeth and shouted, "Come here, tie up this rebellious girl for me, and inform Prince Qing's mansion that Concubine Ning has suddenly contracted a serious illness and needs to stay in the mansion to recuperate for the time being."
She actually dared to touch her daughter. She was courting death. Today, she wanted to see who gave this bitch the confidence to be so arrogant.
