C168 (1/2)

It was only then that An Yingcheng thought of this possibility, and saw the already unconscious Aunt Li move, and slowly sat up on the bed.

”Why is the prince here?”

She put on a surprised expression. Although the palm print on her face had dimmed a little, it was still obvious.

Peach Blossom immediately walked to her side and helped her up from the bed. ”Aunt, today you knelt in the sun for several hours before returning to the courtyard and fainting. This servant has the gall to have someone invite the prince over.”

”You truly have guts to actually dare to seek justice for me?” The Aunt Li raised her eyebrows, looking somewhat stern, ”The Prince is busy with work, why are you bothering him with such a small matter?”

”Auntie has suffered so much, how can this be considered a small matter?” Peach Blossom stubbornly looked at her. ”Aunt is kind and compassionate. Even though I've been wronged, I've been by your side for so many years. I really can't bear to see you being bullied.” Even if you want to punish this servant, this servant must tell the prince about this matter! ”

The two of them acted together, causing Aunt Li to appear gentle and considerate. She was the only one who was loyal to the master, and the only one who was scheming deeply was Aunt Wei.

”How dare you!” Aunt Li shouted and then coughed a few times. She was unable to say anything for a moment and could only point at Peach Blossom with a face full of anger.

An Yingcheng stepped forward and held her hand with a gentle expression, ”What this servant said is right, she is afraid that you will be wronged, why must you criticize her so harshly?”

As he spoke, he noticed that Aunt Li's face was abnormally red, her lips were slightly white, and her face was no longer as lustrous and delicate, but instead looked even more charming and lovely.

The Aunt Li took the opportunity to lean into his embrace, calling out to him in a sorrowful and gentle manner, causing tears to flow down her face in an instant.

”Your highness, being able to come visit me, I am truly happy in my heart, and this is Aunt Wei …” As if she had realized her mistake, she immediately stopped talking. However, An Yingcheng's face darkened.

”You are too kind, that's why you are being bullied like this.” An Yingcheng hugged the person in his embrace tightly, one hand touching the half of Aunt Li's face which had fingerprints on it, a look of love in his eyes, ”Mother was just angry for a moment, that's why she was deceived and made you suffer.”

”How could I dare to say that I didn't feel wronged when I heard of the madame's decision. She is an elder, so even if she did something wrong, it can only be my fault.”

Aunt Li's voice was soft, but intentionally or unintentionally, she had hinted at An Yingcheng. The old lady was in the wrong, but she was still a junior and could not refute the old lady's words.

Her eyes were filled with emotions, and she looked very sensible, causing An Yingcheng's heart to palpitate.

Who could not like such a considerate and gentle person?

An Yingcheng lightly patted her back, ”You are so sensible, Mother has misunderstood you, which is why he doesn't like you. Rest assured, This King will find a time tomorrow to clarify with Mother and tell her not to be prejudiced against you. ”

”How can I force the madame to like me?” ”I am just a concubine, yet I am managing the affairs of the Duke's Mansion. The old lady was dissatisfied with me a long time ago, which is why she asked the Second Madam to manage the warehouse once they returned to the mansion. Now she has found an excuse to let the Aunt Wei take over the power of the Prince's Mansion from my hands.
