Princess Promotion

An Wenbo stood up suddenly, almost knocking the table over: "You...you..."

An Wenbo couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time, his mind was a little confused.

An Tian's cruelty made An Wenbo feel terrified. She was definitely not just saying it to scare them.

Madam An screamed, "You're dreaming! Who would believe such nonsense? A mistress of a household can't even recognize her own child. Even if she bribed the midwife, is there only one midwife in my house, and the other maids are all dead?"

An Tian said with great interest, "Perhaps you were too exhausted after giving birth and fell asleep. The maids were busy taking care of you, leaving only the midwife to deal with the baby."

Aunt Liu walked up to An Tian tremblingly and said, "An Tian, what's your objection to deceiving yourself like this? You are already in a high position, so why bother to dwell on the past? Forgive others when you can."

An Tian smiled and looked at Aunt Liu, hatred suppressed in her eyes: "If I hadn't used all means to climb to a high position and was still in the brothels, would you have ever thought of helping me?"

An Tian reached out and gently touched Aunt Liu's cheek. The action was extremely gentle, but it made the other party tremble with fear.

An Tian said softly, "I used to think you might be pretending to be stupid, but now I realize you really are stupid. Can't you see that I came back just to make you suffer?"

An Tian withdrew her hand and suddenly felt a little fed up.

An Tian walked over to An Wenbo and casually pressed his shoulder, asking An Wenbo to sit back in his chair. He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea: "Father, my time is precious. You'd better make a decision quickly."

An Wenbo took the teacup tremblingly and asked, "What decision?"

An Tian put down the teapot and said, "Should we cancel An Qing's engagement with the young master of the Qing family today, or go to the east of the city to order a coffin for An Qing? Think carefully."

An Qing had been planning for many years to marry into a wealthy family. The Qing family was a fairly prominent family in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

It was the best marriage that An Qing could find, but wealthy families were very particular about the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children when marrying a wife. If An Qing broke off the marriage because of her status as a illegitimate daughter,

An Tian's identity as the legitimate daughter was instantly confirmed. Although it seemed like flattery to An Tian, no one could say it was wrong.

An Wenbo: "You're leaving a way out when you do things. Aren't you afraid that I'll file a memorial to the emperor accusing you of abusing your power for personal gain and disregarding the law?"

If An Wenbo and An Tian were to fight to the end, a fight to the death would indeed be the third option.

An Tian turned and walked out, saying, "I suggest you go directly to the drum to report your memorial, otherwise your memorial will never reach His Majesty's desk."

Just as An Tian was about to step out of the door, Madam An suddenly threw herself at An Tian's feet without caring about anything, and she was no longer the high and mighty mistress of the An family.

Mrs. An and An Wenbo have been married for many years, so how could she not know what kind of person An Wenbo is?

Between the family and An Qing, An Qing will definitely be the one who is abandoned.

If she didn't do something, her Qing'er would really have no way to survive.

Mrs. An's pride was completely crushed. She knelt down desperately, grabbed An Tian's skirt and begged, "Please, this is all my fault. It's my fault that I didn't teach Qing'er well and let her make such a big mistake."

"As long as you let Qing'er go, I can give you whatever you want as long as I have it."

An Tian looked at Mrs. An, who had always been high and mighty and dignified in her memory, and was now kneeling at her feet in a miserable state, just to protect An Qing.

An Tian asked curiously, "Does it include your life?"

Mrs. An was stunned for a moment, then nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay."

An Tian looked up in the direction of Aunt Liu and found that Aunt Liu was still feeling sorry for herself, immersed in her own world and full of grief.

People are indeed different.

An Tian pulled back the hem of her skirt and asked, "Your life is worthless to me. Tell me why I should let An Qing go. Don't forget what happened back then. If it weren't for you covering up for An Qing, she wouldn't have been able to sell me out so easily!"

Mrs. An's hands began to tremble imperceptibly, and cold sweat began to form on her temples: "I can give you both my dowry and Qing'er's dowry."

Madam An looked at An Tian cautiously. Seeing An Tian's expressionless face, she could only grit her teeth and say, "Qing'er's position as the legitimate daughter will be given to you. I will cancel the marriage today. I will cooperate with you in playing this drama well to the outside world."

"I only beg you... please, these things were done by Concubine Liu alone. Qing'er knew nothing about the identity swap. She is innocent. Please don't send Qing'er to the authorities."

As soon as Mrs. An finished speaking, it was like a huge rock stirring up a thousand waves.

Even Aunt Liu woke up from her grief and looked at An Tian in horror as if she was looking at a devil from hell.

If An Tian's script were to play out, both Concubine Liu and An Qing would be sent to the authorities. According to the law, if a concubine's daughter dared to murder a legitimate daughter, it would be a serious crime of treason and rebellion.

But if a legitimate daughter beats or kills a concubine's daughter, at most she will leave a bad reputation, but she will not be punished.

To put it bluntly, concubines and maids were just high-ranking servants in the family, and they could be beaten or killed at will.

What An Qing did to An Tian back then was just betrothing a concubine's daughter to a merchant, which was not wrong at all according to the law.

This is why if An Tian wanted to attack An Qing openly, he had to go through such a big detour.

Mrs. An gave everything she had just to leave An Qing a way out.

As long as An Qing is unaware of it and is not involved, she can find a husband with a clean family background even if she cannot find a family of high status as a concubine's daughter.

It's better than being trapped in the mansion for the rest of your life or becoming a nun in a temple.

An Tian looked at Madam An and praised her sincerely, "Mother is indeed very smart. She saw through my plan right away."

Mrs. An did react quickly enough. Everyone else's focus was on An Tian's attempt to replace the legitimate daughter.

I never thought that if I really wanted to do this, I couldn't just talk about it, I had to pay a real price, otherwise it would be a joke.

An Tian: "I can let An Qing go this time, but..."

Mrs. An seemed to have grasped the last straw and said, "I will definitely cooperate well and there will be absolutely no mistakes."

Mrs. An is indeed very smart. If An Tian wants to successfully replace An Qing's identity, she cannot do without Mrs. An's cooperation.

When you tell a lie, you need countless lies to fill it.

An Tian really didn't have time to perfect this lie, but Mrs. An could do it for An Tian.

The most painful thing for a person is to watch himself lose everything. An Qing, you must hold on!

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, An Tian turned around and prepared to leave with satisfaction.

Seeing that An Tian seemed to be really about to leave, Aunt Liu hurried forward and tried to pull An Tian back but was stopped by Zhou Pojun.

Aunt Liu screamed hysterically: "An Tian, I am your biological mother, you can't do this to me!"

An Tian paused for a moment, slowly turned around and looked at Aunt Liu, her eyes calm as she said, "Just bear with it and it will pass."

Just like you said back then, just bear with it and it will pass!
