The old lady's expression did not change, her face was still as black as ink, "Tell me, how did Little Ge frame you?"

An Lingyi complained with tears in her eyes, "Grandmother had big sister bring us out, so I just followed behind her obediently. But then big sister suddenly kicked me, causing me to be unable to stand properly, and so I fell into the water."

She directly concealed the fact that she had quarreled with An Lingmeng, and only said that she had been kicked by An Lingge before she fell into the water.

However, the madame was not so easily fooled. She looked at the wet man beside her. "How did the dream fall into the water?"

An Lingmeng was about to speak, but the old lady then called out An Lingxue's name, "Little Xue, tell me what exactly happened."

An Lingxue who was sitting quietly at the side had her head lowered, and told everyone that she knew, "Reporting to my grandmother,'s fourth sister had suddenly gotten into an argument for no reason. Third Sister originally wanted to hit fourth sister, but fourth sister threw herself towards Third Sister, and the two of them fell into the lake together.

This was something that the old lady would know if she were to ask, so An Lingxue did not need to hide it.

The old lady nodded, then looked at An Lingge, "Third sister said that you kicked her, is that true?"

An Lingge raised her head and looked at the old lady apologetically, "At that time, when Fourth Sister Third Sister was arguing, I wanted to advise them against it, but Fourth Sister suddenly pounced at me, I immediately dodged and in my panic, I probably kicked Third Sister, I will apologize to Third Sister here."

So this matter was caused by An Lingyi and An Lingmeng in the first place, and the two of them were the ones who met with trouble in the end?

The old mistress glared at the two of them angrily, her tone hostile. "The two of you have ruined the banquet!"

She had originally asked about which families were suitable for marriage and invited the other wives over, so that they could have An Lingxue appear before them. If any of the families were to have any intention of marrying him, then it would allow Little Xue to find a good family.

Watching the feast?

The few of them were shocked at the same time, and only An Lingge had a look of understanding in her eyes.

Previously, the madame said that she wanted to introduce the people from the second and third branch to the young ladies of the capital. However, only the young ladies who were the same age as them were here to attend the banquet, so it was quite strange.

And in front of all the ladies, the old lady had not mentioned An Lingmeng at all, but had intentionally or unintentionally drawn everyone's attention to An Lingxue. When she was praising An Lingxue's daughter, the smile on her face became even more obvious.

At that time, she had thought that this was the old lady's most beloved An Lingxue, and was very happy to see An Lingxue being praised by others.

Looking at it now, it turned out that they were all fodder for each other. An Lingxue was the main character of this feast.

A trace of jealousy and hatred flashed past An Lingyi's eyes, but she looked extremely wronged: "It's Yi Er's fault, if it's bad, we'll have to watch the feast."

When the old mistress saw how pitiful she looked, her expression eased a little. She thought that she had fallen to the water and suffered from the cold, but she could not bring herself to reprimand her.

"Forget it, the two of you fell into the water. Go back and take good care of yourselves. Don't ever start another trouble again."

An Lingmeng fearfully agreed as she followed An Lingyi out.

"Idiot!" If you can't even do such a simple task, what's the use of me! "

As soon as she arrived at a place with no one around, An Lingyi's expression turned fierce and she ruthlessly slapped An Lingmeng in the face.

An Lingmeng covered his face, tears flowing down his face, but still apologized with a bent waist, "It is all because big sister is too cunning, that she escaped, next time she will definitely not be so lucky."

If An Lingge were to just drown in the water like this, it would be best if she did not die. Even if he did not die, she would have to suffer a lot.

Who would have thought that this person would be so sensitive? He managed to avoid their scheme and even sent both of them into the water. He lost face in front of so many people and was even beaten up by the madame!

An Lingyi gritted her teeth, "It's because you, this idiot, don't know how to change things, otherwise..."

She remembered the moment she was pushed down by An Lingmeng and fell into the water, the moment the water rushed over from the sky and poured into her mouth and nose. That kind of suffocating feeling, she didn't want to try it again in her entire life.

Thinking about that, An Lingyi's eyes turned sinister, she glanced at the people beside him coldly, "Grandmother is currently angry, go back and stay in the courtyard. If there is anything, I will ask the servant to look for you."

An Lingmeng respectfully nodded as she watched An Lingyi leave. Only then did her expression become sinister, and her eyes filled with hatred.

If it wasn't for her own future prospects, she wouldn't have stooped down and acted humbly in front of An Lingyi.

It was obvious that the two of them were Shu girls, and even cousins, but An Lingyi, because she was the daughter of the Prince An, was ordering her around.

She clenched her fists tightly and took a deep breath. Only after taking a long time did she manage to calm the resentment in her heart. Her expression was the same as usual as she returned to her own courtyard.

An Lingge walked out from the corner and watched the two leaving while smiling.

The breeze brought with it a familiar scent of pine and wood. Although it was subtle, she could still detect it.

"Is Hereditary Prince Mu satisfied with this show?"

As she finished speaking, Mu Junhan's slender figure walked out from behind the flowers.

He walked over like a flower that had been parted from a willow branch. His handsome face returned to its unruly and evil smile, as if he was a playful and disrespectful young master.

"How did Miss An find me here?"

Mu Junhan's mouth formed a smile, his eyes was filled with amour, as though the unhappiness between the two of them had never existed.

An Lingge was unable to determine his thoughts, and didn't know if he was still angry, but she could only follow his words, "Hereditary Prince Mu has the fragrance of pine and wood on her body, I just happened to smell it."

Pine wood fragrance?

Mu Junhan's phoenix eyes flitted, and the smile on his lips widened.

Since she could even remember the scent of pine and wood on his body, then wouldn't she have some of his place in her heart?

The moment this thought popped out, it became uncontrollable. The thought of leaving An Lingge alone for a few days instantly disappeared without a trace.

With a thought, he leaned in front of An Lingge.

"Miss An even remembers the smell of this Hereditary Prince's body. This Hereditary Prince is truly flattered." Mu Junhan raised his eyebrows, his phoenix eyes deep and distant, "Could it be that Miss An has long fallen for this Hereditary Prince, which is why you pay so much attention to me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" An Lingge took a few steps back, but her cheeks secretly flushed red.

For some reason, when Mu Junhan suddenly approached her, with his figure reflected in his deep eyes, it made her think of something.
