As Aunt Xiao spoke, she peeked at her mother. When she heard the words' Fifth Miss', the expression on her mother's face abruptly changed. An indescribable pain flashed through her cold eyes.

Aunt Xiao continued, ”Old madam, I don't care, but Third Young Miss is still the Lian Family's flesh and blood. What if something bad happens to her? When I went over today, Third Miss even said that I should never disappoint my grandmother's expectations. I will never do it again.

”Is this the tactic you use time and time again to deal with Yan Qing?” Her mother gripped the back of the chair and coldly interrupted her.

”I... I don't dare to go and plead with the old master this time, I just hope that the old mistress will be magnanimous. ” Xiao Niang knew that even Yan Qing was disappointed in her. He hadn't mentioned her in so many days and had instead gone to the Fuan Courtyard several times.

”Then I'll reply to you right here. Don't waste your time. The mistakes you and Third Young Madam committed cannot be easily forgiven. I won't let her go!” This time, Lian Rou's mother was determined to severely punish Lian Shiya to the end.

Aunt Xiao didn't expect her mother to be so resolute. She thought of Lian Shiya's pitiful appearance and was afraid that her body and face would be crippled. She didn't want to honor her sister-in-law's exhortation anymore. She hardened her heart and said:

”Madame, you know that my brother has always doted on Third Miss, his only niece. If he knew that Third Miss was suffering at home during the war, he would not be at ease.”

When her mother heard this, she flew into a rage and slammed her palm on the back of the chair. Even the jade ring on her thumb fell out.

”Don't use Xiao Zhenhai to threaten me. He is under the orders of the Emperor to fight outside, but he cares about the affairs of my Prime Minister's Residence. If the Emperor were to find out, who would be punished!”

As she spoke, she took the priceless Night Pearl and forcefully threw it back into Aunt Xiao's hands, saying, ”I didn't kick you out of the Prime Minister's Estate. This is already giving Xiao Zhenhai a huge amount of face. ”In the future, you can stay in the west yard obediently. You don't need to ask about Ya Er's matters, I will do as I please!”

What...

Auntie Xiao's body trembled. From the madame's words, it seemed that she was going to separate her and Ya Er?

”Madame, it's all my fault, it's all my fault …”

Even her mother had no patience to continue listening. She ordered coldly, ”Senior Servant Song, send her out! From now on, do not step even half a step into Qing An Yuan without my permission! ”

In the end, Aunt Xiao spent a rare and priceless Night Pearl to please her mother, but in the end she didn't even manage to get a good word from her mother. In the end, she was scolded until she bitterly took the Night Pearl and left.

However, when she left Qing An's courtyard, a mysterious smile appeared on her face.

She had already predicted that her mother wouldn't easily forgive her and Lian Shiya, so on the way back to the Lian Residence, she secretly made a trip to the Red Conch Temple to find Master Mo An to talk for two hours.

When the late Empress Dowager was young, she had been framed by the imperial concubines and forced to travel to the Red Snail Temple for several years. The late Emperor then personally went to the Red Snail Temple to bring her back.

After the late empress dowager returned to the palace, she personally led the construction of the monastery to make it the most famous place for quiet cultivation. Ordinarily, incense would burn vigorously, and the one who presided over the temple was none other than Teacher Mo An.
