ATTACK

CHAPTER 301 - DISCARD

She brought up the difference in status and secretly stepped on An Lingyi's painful leg, causing An Lingyi's already ugly face to become even more gloomy.

Being reminded of this by An Lingge, An Yingcheng only felt a layer of cold sweat instantly appearing behind her back.

He looked at An Lingge in shock and doubt, and his eyes were full of questions, Little Ge, are you saying that Yi Er's blood can cause people to get infected by Smoke Willow?

An Lingge nodded her head, Yes, Father, you don't know that the Smoke Willow disease can spread between men and women, but if the victim's blood comes into contact with another healthy person's blood, that person's blood will also get infected by the Smoke Willow disease.

It is precisely because of this that I believe that the Third Sister is innocent. Although her character is a little mischievous, she is definitely not the type of person to stoop to depravity. It is very possible that there are bleeding wounds on your body, and you just happen to be infected with someone else's blood.

The way she explained was a bit profound and hard to understand. An Yingcheng understood it anyway.

However, it was precisely because he understood that that made him even angrier in his heart.

Other than An Lingyi, no one in their Duke Palace was infected with the Smoke Willow Disease, so where did An Lingyi get the blood from?

It was all because she didn't love herself and didn't know when she would get together with a wild man!

An Yingcheng felt like his entire face was burning. He glared at An Lingyi with eyes that were ice-cold and filled with disgust.

Speak, when did you run out to fool around?

This questioning and disgusted look caused An Lingyi's mouth to constrict and her eyes to turn red, Father, I didn't, I already said that I am innocent.

Then what's the matter with you? An Yingcheng slammed the table, causing a loud sound that startled everyone.

Aunt Li immediately stood forward, blocking in front of An Lingyi, Master, Yi Er is the most obedient, how could she do such a shameless thing?

Seeing that she was willing to excuse An Lingyi, a cold look flashed across An Lingge's face, and she immediately replied, That's right, even though Third Sister wanted my servant's life, she would definitely not have any relationship with anyone.

The 'obedient' daughter who wanted to take his life the moment he opened his mouth. How could she be considered obedient?

An Yingcheng's face became gloomy, and hearing the words of private love, his eyes became gloomy.

Back then, the Aunt Li seduced the drunk him at a banquet, and when the later An Lingyi was born, with such an unfaithful mother, what couldn't An Lingyi do?

All of you shut up and let her talk.

An Yingcheng stared at An Lingyi, and from the tension on his lips, one could tell that he was not in a good mood.

An Lingyi was so wronged that she wanted to cry. Obviously, she was the one who was wronged, first she got infected with Smoke Willow, then a man appeared in the house, and then his face was ruined. It was fine if her father didn't care about her, but he actually scolded her!

Could it be that all these years, her father's love for her was fake?

She felt wronged, and hated An Lingge to the extreme.

Father, your daughter has been staying in the mansion all day. Why would she have some sort of relationship with someone else?

If it wasn't for that needle, how could she have contracted the Smoke Willow disease?!

An Yingcheng's face revealed some thought, he was just too angry and shocked that he even forgot about this matter.

Yi Er never went out alone, how could she get involved with others?

Father, please don't look into how the Third Sister contracted the Smoke Willow disease. It has already become a foregone conclusion. We should think of a way to cure the Third Sister.

Just as An Yingcheng was about to persuade him, An Lingge suddenly opened his mouth and changed the topic.

But what she wanted to say was a way to cure An Lingyi. No matter how much Aunt Li hated Hereditary Prince Mu, he wouldn't go against her at this moment.

Yes, Master, Yi Er is only a teenager, she is at the prime of her life. If she had passed away due to Smoke Willow Disease, I would have died a long time ago!

As Aunt Li spoke, her tears fell. She no longer had that sinister expression on her face, but rather, her delicate and beautiful face had a sense of gentleness and pity due to her tears.

Having been by An Yingcheng's side for more than ten years, she clearly knew what kind of woman An Yingcheng liked.

Sure enough, when An Yingcheng saw her tears, his heart ached.

An Lingyi was also his daughter, but his daughter suddenly contracted the Smoky Willow Disease. The first thing that came to An Yingcheng's mind was Prince An's Palace's face, but when he calmed down, she was still concerned about An Lingyi.

Little Ge, you know medicine, what can you do?

An Yingcheng did not ask the doctor at the side, but asked An Lingge first.

In his opinion, for An Lingge to be able to take out the cure for the plague, her medical skills must be very profound.

However, what he did not know was that the reason why An Lingge could take out the cure for the plague was entirely because of her memories from her previous life.

As for the Smoke Willow Disease, An Lingge had no choice.

She shook her head, looking somewhat disappointed and remorseful, Father, I can't cure Third Sister's illness.

If the Smoke Willow disease could be cured, the people would not mention it and its expression would change.

An Yingcheng acknowledged him. Although he did not hold any hope, hearing An Lingge's reply still made him a little uncomfortable.

Aunt Li's eyes turned, she remembered the expert who gave her the advice. The master knew how to infect Smoke Willow disease, he should also know how to cure it.

It was just that the expert's movements were unfathomable. He had come and gone without a trace, and the people she had sent to guard his residence for an entire day. Not even a single person could be seen.

An Yingcheng didn't notice her abnormality and when he looked at An Lingyi, he couldn't help but frown.

If the Smoke Willow was incurable, Yi Er wouldn't be able to stay in the Manor anymore.

Right now, he was favored by the emperor. If the news of An Lingyi getting the Smoky Willow Disease were to spread, the political enemies would definitely catch hold of his weakness and sue him in front of the emperor.

He had to wait for this opportunity for more than ten years, he could not miss it because of Yi Er!

Yi Er, pack your things right now. Daddy will send you to a beautiful place to recuperate and send a few doctors there.

An Yingcheng made up his mind that he would secretly send An Lingyi away so that the servants of the household would hide the news and pretend that nothing had happened.

An Lingyi's eyes widened in shock. No matter how nice An Yingcheng's words were, he still wanted to abandon her.

What a beautiful place, wasn't it desolate?

Daddy was going to give her up!

When Aunt Li thought about it, her face turned white, and she immediately spoke out.

Master, I know an expert. He might have a way.

No matter what, the only thing he could do now was die trying.

If she could find that expert, it would be for the best. If she couldn't, she wouldn't be able to watch the Master send Yi Er away.

An Yingcheng raised his eyebrows in surprise, his eyes full of suspicion: Even Little Ge couldn't do anything, the expert you're talking about could do it?

Could he be another swindler?

CHAPTER 302 - UNEASINESS

Could he be a swindler?

The Aunt Li shook her head. That expert had true abilities, otherwise, she wouldn't have known that the blood of a Smoke Willow patient could infect others.

Master, I have come into contact with that master before, I trust him.

Since she said that, An Yingcheng would believe it for the time being.

An Lingyi's eyes lit up, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face, Daddy, I don't need to be sent away anymore, do I?

As long as she was not sent away, she would find a chance to kill that bitch An Lingge!

Of course, the most important thing right now was to have his mother invite that expert over and cure her illness.

She was only a teenager this year, and she didn't want to lose her life because of Smokey Willow at such a young age.

An Yingcheng's gaze landed on her body, and saw that An Lingyi's eyes were red, because the crying just now was slightly swollen, clearly showing that it was extremely painful, but he did not know why, but when he looked at An Lingyi's face, he actually felt a sense of disgust.

I will send you to the side courtyard and wait for you to cure your illness before coming out.

His expression turned a little colder, and his voice also became faint. His heart, which had made An Lingyi happy, instantly sank to the bottom again.

Father, how could you do this?

An Lingyi was shocked and panicked, the side courtyard was desolate and dilapidated, how could she live in that kind of place!

Seeing that An Lingyi was not satisfied, her face darkened, If you are not willing, then go to the manor outside the city. When have you recovered from your illness and when will you be back?

Third Sister has always been a pampered place, so you should stay at home. There are so many maids and wives in the mansion, it would be easier to take care of her.

An Lingxue had a faint smile on her face and she seemed to be thinking about something else for An Lingyi's sake.

The Aunt Li's methods were sinister and ruthless, but she did not know much about medicine, so how could she know to use the Smoky Willow Disease to frame others?

Furthermore, there was nothing much that could be done about the Smoke Willow disease. Aunt Li didn't seem to be very worried about An Lingyi, could it be that the expert she mentioned could really treat the Smoke Willow disease?

Her eyes were deep, and she had a restless feeling in her heart.

However, she couldn't tell where it was uncomfortable.

She could only persuade An Yingcheng to leave them in the Palace so that she could observe them.

Ever since the incident with the Chuzhou Plague, An Yingcheng had been praising An Lingge. After hearing An Lingge's words, An Yingcheng's expression became slightly warmer, Then let her stay in the manor.

Aunt Li, send someone to clean up a room for Yi Er. What happened today …

Master, don't worry. Those servants don't dare to gossip. Aunt Li laughed as she comforted Hereditary Prince Mu. At the same time, she glanced at the servants and guards.

Yi Er got sick because of being framed, and she will be cured very soon. If anyone dares to talk back, and ruin Yi Er's reputation, and get caught by me, don't blame me for not showing mercy!

She had been in charge of the Prince An's Palace for more than ten years, so she had some prestige in front of the servants.

Even though he was being pressured on his head by the madame and had lost a portion of his authority as the butler to the house due to Madam Wang, his matriarch's aura did not decrease in the slightest. The maids and guards who met her gaze were all startled, and immediately lowered their heads.

This servant will definitely not speak of what happened today!

Your servant doesn't know anything.

When the servants and guards shouted out in panic, the Aunt Li finally revealed a smile and pouted her lips.

She waved her hand and the servants and guards all retreated. When her gaze swept past An Lingge, it paused for a moment, her eyes filled with a sinister light.

An Lingge was stared at for a moment, as though everything was discovered, her face still carried a faint smile, but her black eyes flashed a faint light.

An Lingyi was sent to the side courtyard, and the servants were given the order to keep the matter a secret.

Within the Parasol House, An Lingge flipped through the medical records in her hand, her fingers pausing on one of them without flipping for a long time. Even her eyes seemed to become a little blurry.

Miss, what's wrong? Why do you look so worried? Did something big happen?

Ming Xin was the most meticulous and immediately noticed An Lingge's abnormality.

Being called out by her, An Lingge's mind started to wander again.

She smiled at Mingxin, but there was a hint of worry between her brows. I don't know why, but I keep having the feeling that something bad is going to happen. My eyelids are constantly twitching.

Nothing happened in the mansion. Everything in the house had been fine recently, but An Lingxue had become more obedient after being grounded. Even though An Lingyi had still been using some tricks, she was stopped by the young miss.

Bi Zhu was grinding the ink at the side, and upon hearing what was said, she put down the ink in her hands, Could it be that Miss didn't rest well these past few days? I heard my mother say that if a person doesn't rest well, their eyelids will twitch.

Maybe so.

An Lingge made a sound, put this matter aside and stopped thinking about it.

Where's Junge? I haven't seen him for a long time.

These days, she was busy researching the medical records in the Imperial Hospital, hoping to find some clues. She wanted to find out the truth of her mother's death, but she didn't really see An Lingjun.

Bi Zhu laughed, her white teeth shone on her round face, making her look very pleasing to the eye, Second Young Master has been studying in the academy recently, I heard that he has good studies, many teachers like him.

When An Lingjun was mentioned, she looked extremely proud, she could not help but pat her chest and tell others how outstanding she was, as though she was her younger brother.

An Lingge was amused by her, and the worry in her eyes faded slightly.

She didn't have enough strength at the moment, so she couldn't bring down the Aunt Li and her daughter. She could only try her best to drag them down, so that they could focus on her and prevent them from scheming against her.

Next month is the last exam of the Jingdu Academy. I wonder what kind of results Second Young Master will get from it. Will he be like Eldest Young Master, and also become an Elementary Scholar in the future?

With that, the few of them changed the topic to An Lingjun.

An Lingge raised her eyebrows. It had been a long time since she went to the Academy, but she did not know that the Academy's final exam was next month.

However, since the Junge had talent in knowledge and also worked hard every day, there shouldn't be any big problems during the final exam.

Even though he thought that, An Lingge still did not feel at ease, The academy should be getting over now, why don't you come with me to the academy to pick up the Junge?

She brought two servants, and Cangyue, this servant was actually a Dark Guard servant, and walked towards the school with them. Unexpectedly, they met an unexpected person.

CHAPTER 303 - ACCIDENTAL ENCOUNTER

Just as An Lingge stepped down from the carriage and was about to walk over, a white robe suddenly appeared in front of him.

Lu Zhan stood tall and straight, his handsome and profound face looked like it was carved with swords and axes, his bright eyes revealed a sense of righteousness, making people feel reverent upon seeing him.

Young General Lu.

An Lingge smiled, and greeted him.

Lu Zhan also saw An Lingge. Her tightly pursed lips curved upwards, a trace of happiness crawling up her eyes.

His hands at his side moved, but there was nothing strange on his face, he only smiled and asked, Why is Miss An here?

Once the words left his mouth, he realised that his question was too foolish. This was a school, it was only a normal thing for An Lingge to come here.

After thinking for a moment, he asked again, Aren't you busy with the Imperial Hospital?

I'm not busy, but fortunately for the Emperor, he was able to freely enter and leave the Imperial Palace. I do have a bit of leisure.

An Lingge had a very good impression of the person who saved him. A righteous and upright person like Lu Zhan was like sunlight that made people feel warm and admiration.

Lu Zhan acknowledged, and since he had entered Imperial Hospital, she was no longer a student and did not need to study in a school. He also had the privilege of being in the palace, and was truly the most relaxed out of all the noble ladies in the capital.

As he thought about this, his eyes caught onto the light cyan in the depths of An Lingge's eyes. The cyan was extremely light, and if not for the fact that the two of them were a little closer, he would not have noticed it.

I don't think the spirit of the Miss An is good, but is there anything troubling him? If it's convenient, I might be able to help a little.

His attitude was far too attentive, and An Lingge couldn't help but think of what Ah Zhu had said to Princess Anping.

If Lu Zhan really liked her …

An Lingge frowned slightly, as she looked at Lu Zhan with a little distance between their eyes.

No need, it's just a small matter, there's no need for Young General Lu to worry.

It didn't matter if Lu Zhan really liked her or not, it was still good to keep a distance from him.

Lu Zhan also noticed that An Lingge had suddenly calmed down, and was somewhat baffled.

He did not do anything wrong, why did An Lingge suddenly turn cold?

Although he had his doubts, Lu Zhan did not dare to ask.

He and An Lingge did not have much interaction, so if he were to recklessly interfere with An Lingge's business, it might cause An Lingge to become annoyed.

It was the first time in his life that he had a good impression of a girl, and he was so restrained that he did not know what to do.

He finally met An Lingge, but he could not think of anything to say. A silent and awkward atmosphere quietly arose between the two of them.

Lu Zhan shook hands with his ears slightly red. He coughed and said, That's good, I feel that I'm fated to be with the Miss An. I wonder if it's possible for me to invite you to a chat by the lake?

These words were a little rude, if someone else said these words, An Lingge would definitely ignore them.

But Lu Zhan had saved her, and now he was only inviting her to the lakeside to say a few words. If she refused, that would be a little too much.

An Lingge hesitated for a moment, then nodded her head and agreed.

Receiving An Lingge's consent, the smile on Lu Zhan's lips widened, his handsome and resolute face became even more heroic, shining brightly in the scorching summer day.

Cangyue stared at Lu Zhan warily. As Mu Junhan's Dark Guard, besides protecting An Lingge, getting rid of his peach blossoms was also what she needed to do.

She could only watch as Hereditary Prince Mu followed her to the little lakeside in the school. She clenched her teeth and indicated for Bi Zhu to follow as well.

With so many of them here, even if Lu Zhan wanted to say some admiring words to An Lingge, he couldn't say it.

He stood beside An Lingge and lowered his head to look at the young lady in front of him.

The girl's skin was as white as snow, and her red dress outlined her graceful figure. The pair of black eyes under her curved eyebrows were like the most beautiful black pearls in the world. Anyone who had seen those eyes would never forget it.

It was as if he was enchanted by those eyes, and he could hear his heart beating faster and faster.

The words he had been hiding in his heart reached his mouth, but he just couldn't say them out loud.

Miss An.

He shouted, and An Lingge turned to look at him. Her long eyelashes blinked, as if someone was holding onto a feather, and brushed past Lu Zhan's heart again and again.

Lu Zhan suddenly felt his face burning, even his throat felt dry.

His ears were about to bleed, and he mustered up the courage to say out the thought that had been on his mind for a long time, I don't know if Prince An gave you a look, but if they don't, I, I'll tell Father, that we should go to the Palace to propose marriage.

An Lingge was a little surprised, it turned out that Lu Zhan really had that kind of intention towards her.

But since she liked Mu Junhan, she would only like him. She was bound to not respond to Lu Zhan's feelings.

Sorry. An Lingge lowered her eyes, not bothering to look at Lu Zhan's disappointed and sorrowful face.

Behind her, Cangyue was grinning from ear to ear, her eyes filled with happiness. She did not need to do anything, the Miss had already extinguished her rotten peach blossom, and that Young General Lu would probably have to wait for her next life to steal her master's woman.

Ming Xin and the others were initially quite far away, and should not have been able to hear what An Lingge had to say.

A trace of loneliness flashed across Lu Zhan's face. Just as he opened his mouth to confess, he was rejected cleanly. No matter who it was, they would not feel good.

He forced a smile, but that smile looked so bitter and awkward. I was rude.

Seeing him like that, An Lingge felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart. In the end, she was her benefactor, to refuse so decisively, wasn't that a bit too much of a pain for him?

It is my fault for not doing these things between a man and a woman. It can't be blamed on Young General Lu.

Her relationship with Mu Junhan still could not be revealed, so she could only use these words to comfort him.

Who knew that Lu Zhan would be so dejected just now? Hearing her words, it was as if he had seen hope, and a smile appeared on his face …

The dejection on her face was swept away and she once again appeared to be brimming with energy and vitality.

That is to say, there is still no one in Miss An who likes it?

An Lingge did not expect Lu Zhan to ask something like this, and the expression on his face became somewhat unnatural. His gaze drifted off to the side, and she did not dare to look at Lu Zhan directly, Mn, not yet.

, who was far away from the Mo Bei, sneezed, but he did not notice it. By the time Dark Guard passed on the news that Lu Zhan liked An Lingge, it was already half a month later.

The two by the lake did not see a girl dressed in luxurious clothing standing in the bamboo forest at the back of the academy. She was staring at the two of them with eyes that shone with jealousy.

What a good An Lingge. She even said that Lu Zhan was not related to her, and had already secretly met up with her in the academy, how could there be no relationship between them!

CHAPTER 304 - GUIDANCE ONE OR TWO

With one hand, she broke a thin bamboo and took two steps forward, revealing a lively and beautiful face.

The woman who walked out from the bamboo forest was dressed in embroidered jade-green cloud patterns, a bright red long skirt embroidered with Penglian beads and peacock patterns, and embroidered lotus petals with golden threads. Her feet made a few footprints on the ground.

She slowly walked out of the bamboo forest, and her beautiful face was finally exposed under the sunlight. It was none other than Princess Anping.

Princess Anping stared at the two people by the lake, seeing the man she admired talking to An Lingge carefully, the smile on her face was one of gentleness and gentleness that she had never seen before.

Her eyes were filled with softness and love, and when she looked at An Lingge, her eyes shone with joy.

Even she had never seen Lu Zhan in such a state, how could An Lingge possibly get close to his?

Her long fingernails dug into her flesh, causing her to feel pain. Only then did Princess Anping recover her senses.

An Lingge was not aware of the commotion she had over here and she rejected Lu Zhan. She made up an excuse to leave, unwilling to see the two of them in an even more awkward situation.

Coincidentally, the academy also wanted to leave, so An Lingge took it as a reason that An Lingjun wanted to leave school and bade farewell to Lu Zhan.

The gaze that was following her from behind continued until her figure gradually disappeared into the distance. Only then did Lu Zhan retract his gaze.

Elder sister, why are you here?

An Lingjun came out of the school and immediately saw An Lingge waiting for me beside the carriage.

He was already as tall as a sprout, and a thirteen-fourteen year old teenager with a youthful appearance.

An Lingge had a smile in her eyes as she looked at him and walked over, Is the academy taking the final exam now?

Yes. An Lingjun nodded her head vigorously, afraid that An Lingge would be worried, she continued, But Sis, you don't have to worry, I have learnt all the things that the gentlemen have taught me, there will be no problems with the final exam.

Not only was there no problem, he also planned to get first place in this exam. However, this matter had not been completed yet. When the exam results came out, he would give his sister another surprise.

His face no longer had that kind of isolation, and An Lingge's eyes became even softer.

The last time he saw him and a few of his peers dancing, and this time it was the youth that was full of vigor. It seemed that he had led a good life in the academy, and the bullying in the palace seemed to be something from his past life.

My Junge is intelligent and studious, so there is naturally no problem with the final exam. The corner of An Lingge's lips curled up, and her face was filled with gratification and satisfaction.

She was not worried about Junge's results. Junge was already very happy to be able to study and interact with her peers in the academy like ordinary people.

I got a new ink stone, made by everyone here. When we get back, let's get Bi Zhu to send it to you.

An Lingjun was overjoyed, Really? It's rare to see Mo Yan from the Tang Family. Elder sister, are you really going to give him to me?"

Everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty knew of the Tang Clan's reputation. He was proficient in painting and had already reached the point of obsession. He heard that the flowers he painted could attract bees and butterflies, and the birds he painted could not help but make cats pounce on him.

However, the thing that such a person was most proficient in was the ink stone.

According to everyone else in the Tang Clan, if one wanted to have good painting, good ink and stone was essential.

An Lingge smiled and nodded, causing An Lingjun to grin, and said good morning to her.

The day for the academy's assessment had yet to arrive, but National Duke's birthday had arrived first.

Aunt Wei came from the Old Mistress' courtyard to pass the news to An Lingge.

Ever since the old mistress had been poisoned, she was no longer as kind to her as she used to be. On the contrary, she seemed a little cold.

Aunt Wei was very clear on how she managed to regain her footing in the Palace. If he lost the Old Mistress' love, he would probably be suppressed by the Aunt Li into the side courtyard very quickly.

Perhaps with Aunt Li's vengeful nature, her fate would be even worse when she returned to the side courtyard.

As a result, the Aunt Wei had been treating the Old Mistress even more attentively these days. She even wanted to pass on a message to An Lingge personally do this kind of thing in order to leave a good impression in front of the Old Mistress.

An Lingge knew what she was thinking, so she didn't expose her and only asked her to prepare a cup of tea and sit opposite of the Aunt Wei.

The Aunt Wei took a sip of tea. The tea was the best Cloud Mist Tea, the Duke Palaces only got two to three catties of tea each year, yet An Lingge could casually take it out.

Thinking about this, the smile on Aunt Wei became more sincere, "Young miss, the old mistress is worried about you, so she asked me to pass a message to her. The other courtyards are filled with maids, but you are different.

An Lingge didn't care whether she was spoiled to the bone or not.

Her grandmother valued Prince An's Palace above all else, and she would treat anyone who used it against her. If someone did something that was detrimental to her Prince An's Palace, no matter how much she loved that person, she would still cruelly punish her.

Just by looking at An Lingxue, she knew how much the Old Mistress had doted on her back then. In the end, she was still confined within the courtyard and had even invited a strict education nanny to discipline her.

An Lingge laughed, without a trace of arrogance. Her face was still as gentle and calm as before, I already know about this matter, I'll have to trouble Aunt Wei to make a trip.

I don't dare. Aunt Wei waved her hands, hesitating and struggling with her thoughts, she finally opened her mouth and said, Brother Yu's studies at the academy were not that good. I heard that Second Young Master's lessons are not bad, I wonder if we can get Second Young Master to give him some pointers?

An Lingge's expression changed slightly, the Aunt Wei had been paying attention to her expression the entire time, and upon seeing this, she immediately spoke up, "I know it is going too far to let the Second Young Master teach Brother Yu, but I am only an aunt, not daring to ask Mister to teach me, and am afraid that he will not pass the examination.

Who else would do such a thing to a direct descendant of a young master to teach his younger brother unless they were close friends?

On one hand, Aunt Wei wanted An Lingyu to catch up on her studies, and on the other hand, she wanted to make use of this matter to show everyone in the Duke Palaces that and his mother had a good relationship.

Even if it was for An Lingge's sake, the Old Mistress would treat her better than before.

Her calculations were all blown away, but she did not expect to meet An Lingge's eyes that seemed to be smiling at her. Her bright black eyes were as wise and profound as ever, as if all of her plans had been seen through by her.

Even though Aunt Wei had lived for more than ten years than An Lingge, she still could not endure such a piercing gaze.

She tilted her head slightly, not daring to meet those eyes, when she heard An Lingge speak, Junge has his own matters to attend to, if Brother Yu is unable to keep up with the progress of the academy, I will ask father to find a mister for him. He is father's son after all, father will not ignore him.

An Lingge had already rejected her offer, yet she had also promised to invite a teacher for An Lingyu. Even though Aunt Wei was unhappy in her heart, she could only move her mouth a little, and still agreed in the end.

CHAPTER 305 - TRANSFER

Aunt Wei has a good idea.

Bi Zhu walked in from outside and pouted unhappily.

Who knew, if it wasn't for their young miss, Aunt Wei would still be living in the side courtyard with An Lingyu, being bullied by the servants?

But when Aunt Wei came out of the side courtyard, she only cared about her and her son, and did not know anything about helping the Young Miss.

Bi Zhu had long been unsatisfied with her, and now that she saw that the Aunt Wei was even focusing on him, she was even more furious.

Her round little face looked more like a bun than it did because she was angry.

An Lingge could not help but smile, and then smiled, Alright, don't be angry, I haven't done anything, you should start complaining first.

Back then, when she helped Aunt Wei to come out from the remote area, it was not all out of sympathy, but because she wanted to let Aunt Wei hold him back. It was just that after time, Aunt Wei did not have enough methods, so she could only find some tricks from the old lady.

Furthermore, she had originally planned to use the Aunt Wei. The two of them could be considered as mutually beneficial, she had no grounds to ask the Aunt Wei to do something for her.

However, since Aunt Wei wanted to use An Lingjun, she would definitely not agree to it.

Bi Zhu was even more unhappy. Her small face was filled with unhappiness.

Miss, you are being so easy to talk to, that's why Aunt Wei has become so bold.

When Aunt Wei just came out from the remote area, she was trembling in fear.

But now, the Aunt Wei had even dared to scheme against the young master from the Duke Palaces.

An Lingge laughed and did not say anything. The reason the Aunt Wei became more daring was because she had her ambitions. She wanted An Lingyu to be able to get a good grade in the final exam of the academy so that An Lingyu could leave an impression of being smart and studious in front of her father.

For a bastard child, whether the father values him or not will often determine his future.

A man of ambition is much better than a man of cowardice.

Where's Ming Xin, have you come into contact with Chu Yu's people?

She mentioned another matter and the dissatisfaction on Bi Zhu's face faded. In her eyes there was a serious look, Chu Yu sent people over, and said that they found an important clue, but they still do not have the evidence. I think it will take some time.

As they were talking, Mingxin came back with two letters.

Miss, this is news from Chu Yu. Ming Xin passed the letter in her hand to An Lingge, and waited for her to finish reading it, then she took out the other letter, Hereditary Prince Mu had someone send this over.

An Lingge read through the letter that Chu Yu sent over. When she received the second letter, her expression suddenly became soft, and after looking carefully, there was a bit of bashfulness within the softness.

Miss, what did Hereditary Prince Mu write?

Compared to the things that Chu Yu had investigated, Bi Zhu was even more interested in the things that Mu Junhan had written.

Young girls her age loved gossip the most, and they held an inexplicable longing for matters between men and women.

Even though the person in front of her was her young mistress, she still couldn't help but be curious.

Hearing that, An Lingge suddenly folded the letter in her hand, her face revealing a rare trace of panic.

The contents of the letter were really creepy, and she couldn't help but blush when she saw it.

The words one day apart is like three seasons completely didn't seem to come from Mu Junhan's hands.

However, the most important thing was that he had reported for safety. The war at Mo Bei was still unstable and there were no major incidents.

It's nothing, he just told someone to report him to be safe. Confusion and shyness only lasted for a split-second, and An Lingge recovered to normal after a long time with a serious face.

Bi Zhu made a sound, she did not suspect anything, but Ming Xin, who was at the side, noticed her bashfulness, and although she knew that An Lingge was hiding something, she did not reveal it.

Miss, do you want Chu Yu to send people over to help?

Although An Lingge told the people from the Embroidery Pavilion to help Chu Yu secretly, they did not do such a thing. It would not be easy to find concrete evidence from the aging process.

After following An Lingge around for a while, Ming Xin finally understood the mission that An Lingge gave him and knew even more how important this was to him.

That thing...

An Lingge frowned, there was some thought in the depths of her eyes, and only after a while, she asked: Where's Cangyue?

As the Dark Guard s cultivated by Mu Junhan, Cangyue should be more adept in this sort of things.

If Cangyue could help Chu Yu find evidence, then the probability of success would greatly increase.

Cangyue is studying the mechanisms in the courtyard. Ming Xin laughed, toward the servant who suddenly appeared beside An Lingge, she was not surprised at all, and did not even ask where Cangyue came from.

This person was someone that the young miss could trust, she only needed to work together with Cangyue to protect the young miss and complete the tasks that the young miss ordered her to do.

It had to be said that the heart was a very perceptive person, and he had done his duty very well.

An Lingge praised her as she looked at her. Bi Zhu then pulled open the curtain and called Cangyue in.

Miss, do you have any instructions?

Cangyue was wearing a green and grey long skirt. The dress was stained with a faint layer of dust, probably because she dirtied her clothes while researching the traps.

An Lingge's bright black eyes flashed, You followed beside Hereditary Prince Mu, have you ever learned to gather information and gather evidence?

These are the things that must be learned by Dark Guard. Cangyue nodded her head, with a suspicious look on her face: This servant knows a little about this, Miss, what do you need to do?

Knowing that she had indeed learnt these things, An Lingge smiled in the depths of her eyes.

Fortunately Mu Junhan had gifted her with such a Dark Guard. Otherwise, she really wouldn't know who to send to help Chu Yu.

I have some things I want you to investigate.

She told him roughly what happened in a low voice. She didn't explain how Princess An died, and only told Cangyue to find the evidence he had gathered that year.

Cangyue was also not a curious person, so after
