Four round fans led the way, and the young eunuchs followed behind carrying palace lanterns and incense burners. An Lingrong was carefully supported by two female officials.

Lin Xiu was the last to come out to greet them, and An Bihuai was behind them. They both had different expressions when they saw An Lingrong.

An Bihuai was incredulous that the dignified and elegant woman in front of him was actually the daughter he had raised.

He remembered that An Lingrong was not like this before. She was naturally timid and inferior, quiet, pale and thin, but when she dressed up, she looked a bit like a little bird.

It is true that girls change a lot when they grow up. They become more and more unrecognizable, and even their father An Bihuai is confused.

Lin Xiu did not forget to kneel three times and nine times to pay his respects to An Lingrong. Even though An Bihuai was very reluctant, he still bowed his head in front of so many ceremonial officials.

An Lingrong was terrified. She had never thought that Lin Xiu would kneel down and kowtow to her, but she couldn't stop it. After all, so many people were watching.

An Lingrong had long been cold towards An Bihuai.

As soon as Lin Xiu finished her ceremony, An Lingrong walked up to her and helped her up.

Tears dripped onto her wedding dress, staining it with dark circles.

The two walked in hand in hand. Although An Biguan took the silver, he also wanted to live a luxurious life himself, and the meals he prepared for An Lingrong were just enough to get by.

A shocking situation occurred. An Bihuai's two newly married concubines were also at the dinner table.

Xiao Lianzi discovered this problem when he checked just now, but he didn't say anything.

At that time, driving the two concubines out would not be a real punishment. Letting them sit here and wait would be against etiquette, and they could be beaten to death.

Life or death is in An Lingrong's hands. After all, what An Lingrong lacks now is an excuse to vent the anger in her heart.

"Who are these two maids? Why are they so unruly?"

An Lingrong looked at the two concubines, who were wearing flowery clothes and had their heads covered with gold ornaments.

Even when he bowed, he would stealthily glance at An Lingrong.

Lin Xiu had always fought against such petty people before, but he was always suppressed.

An Lingrong, looking back now, seems really ridiculous.

An Lingrong stared at An Bihuai quietly, with a creepy smile on her face.

"Father, are they the two new girls you bought?"

An Bihuai wanted to deny and explain, but he recalled what Aunt Xiao had just said and was afraid of upsetting An Lingrong.

When he was asked to eat the melon leaves in front of everyone, he could only nod his head.

Seeing An Bihuai nod softly, An Lingrong ignored the two of them for the time being, sat in the main seat, and made eye contact.

I found that they were not shocked or frightened, but just laughing at each other.

An Lingrong threw down her chopsticks and didn't eat. She stared at them coldly and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Little Lianzi immediately responded from the side: "My Lady, I just told them the rules.

But they refused to listen and insisted on sitting there, calling themselves the Empress's daughters.

Lin Xiu felt that the temperature around her seemed to be dropping, so she did not ask An Lingrong to please An Bihuai as usual.

He sat quietly in his seat, his chopsticks making crisp sounds as they touched the porcelain plate.

The two concubines were also arrogant. They were spoiled by An Bihuai and became lawless. Moreover, they came from the countryside and believed that their father was the first in the family.

The daughters could not control their father in any way. Besides, they heard from people in the mansion that An Lingrong was bullied by the concubines when she was a child, but she never fought back.

After Lin Xiu received the imperial edict, his living conditions in the rear house became much better, but he did not ask for the power of housekeeper or anything like that.

She just loved to recite scriptures and pray to Buddha to pray for An Lingrong's safety in the palace. Therefore, the concubines who married her into the palace thought she was someone to be trifled with and did not respect her very much.

I laughed today only because An Lingrong's tears washed off her makeup.

An Lingrong knows her mother very well. To put it nicely, she will never regret her love for her mother, but to put it bluntly, she will never turn back even if she hits a wall.

She would not let her mother continue to suffer, and these two concubines could not be kept.

If they continued to stay, what would be the point? An Bihuai already had seven or eight children. If the two of them continued to do so, how would they support them? They would have to steal or rob.

"You two are too rude. I remember that with your father's official rank of seventh rank, he shouldn't be able to marry so many concubines.

You haven't received any documents to take a concubine, so you can only be considered a maidservant."

Aunt Xiao hit Lin Xiu's back with her elbow, but Lin Xiu remained unmoved.

The childhood sweetheart and the sweet love before marriage, scene after scene came into Lin Xiu's mind. When she woke up in the middle of the night, these were often accompanied by her dreams, and she never ignored the pain of being alone and unable to sleep.

No matter what An Bihuai was, he was still the man Lin Xiu had once entrusted her body and soul to. Even though she regretted it now, Lin Xiu did not hold any resentment towards him.

Her deep affection hurt herself and An Lingrong.

Seeing that her repeated hints were of no use, Aunt Xiao had no choice but to take action herself. As an aunt, she shouldn't have interrupted, but there was no other way at this time.

"Your Highness, you are right! The two of them have no official documents, and both of them are prostitutes or something like that. Standing here is an eyesore to you.

You didn't do anything, but they sat down. In my opinion, why not give them a few smacks and then kick them out?"

An Lingrong only needed to nod slightly, and Xiao Lianzi and the others would be called out.

No matter how loudly the two concubines cried, they could not escape the beating.

An Bihuai's face turned pale and blue, and he was very dissatisfied with An Lingrong's decision, which made him look very embarrassed.

An Bihuai was about to speak when An Lingrong said coldly, "Songyang County Magistrate, I have something to tell you."

With the ceremonial officer present, An Bihuai could only stand respectfully, bow to An Lingrong, and pretend to listen attentively.

"Your Majesty's grace, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and Consort Qian are truly virtuous.

After visiting my parents today, you must not be so extravagant, and you must not use this as an excuse to take money into custody. If you take the things and want me to do things for you, I will not care at all! "

Lin Xiu couldn't hold the teacup, and it rolled under the table, making a crisp sound.

Lin Xiu saved money and bought Suzhou embroidery and spent it all on An Bihuai. She had bought all the utensils earlier, and she was responsible for repairing anything that was broken.

This made her develop the habit of cherishing things and using them whenever possible. At this moment, she forgot her identity and subconsciously reached out to take it.

You Ran had already placed the cracked teacup on the table and told Xiao Lianzi, "Replace this teacup and get a new one for Shu Ren."
