17 Yousre not virtuous (1/2)
An Jinge wiped away her tears and obediently returned to her pavilion.
Grand Preceptor Xie and his wife were the only ones left in the garden. Grand Preceptor An glanced at the moon lily still hanging on the table and said, ”If you want to find a good marriage for Jinge, I don't think it's necessary to use some tricks. But how could you deceive them?”
”Old master!” née Qin kneeled down before Grand Preceptor An. ”I had no choice but to come up with this plan. Ah Jinge has always been a delicate and unruly girl. I can't calm my heart down. I really can't handle her embroidery.” ”I just thought that the Ah Jin had already been decided for marriage so it would be better for me to let the Ah Jinge have a touch of her elder sister's glory.”
”Your words are really laughable,” Grand Preceptor An snorted and made née Qin kneel on the ground. ”So you're saying that the Ah Jin heart is narrow-minded?”
”Old master!” née Qin hurriedly called out her grievances: ”Ah Jin was raised by me, old master!”
”This servant is called Yangzi,” Grand Preceptor An said, ”Who taught Jinge these words? are they the servants of the estate? ”
”S-Old Master.” née Qin still wanted to explain herself.
”Enough!” ”There's no need for you to say anything. Your Majesty has already seen the difficulty of today's matter, so it's unclear if this will implicate Jinyanin this matter. It'll be difficult for Crown Princess to find a suitable family for Jinge in the future.”
Upon hearing that she would also implicate An Jinyan, her eldest daughter and crown prince's first wife, née Qin had no more ideas. No matter how scheming the Qin family was, they were still just a woman from the inner chamber. The situation was outside of her world, so this noblewoman had no choice but to exhaust her scheming.
”Today, I'll personally go to the monastery in the south of the city and invite mother back.” Grand Preceptor An had already made up his mind after sitting down and saying these few words. ”You're not virtuous,” he said to née Qin.
Grand Preceptor An's old mother, Madame An, had gone to the southern part of the capital to recuperate for the year more. When she heard that Grand Preceptor An was going to bring the Matriarch back home, she began to cry even harder. Years of daughter-in-law, all these years she was dedicated and dedicated to An clan, what was she after? What difference was there between Grand Preceptor An's unkind words and abandoning her?
Grand Preceptor An watched on helplessly as née Qin wept to death on the ground. They havebeen husband and wife for so many years, and he'd always respected her as his legal wife. Naturally, their relationship would continue. Grand Preceptor An extended a hand in an attempt to help née Qin up. Suddenly, he realized that he hadn't seen this pillow person in so many years. As he thought of this, he withdrew his hand, his face turning icy cold once more.
The two masters of the Residence of Tranquil East sat with one of them kneeling on the ground. Just like that, half an hour passed.
”Father!” An hour later, An Yuanwen's voice came from outside the garden, ”Your son Yuanwen requests to see father!”
Such a great incident had occurred in the Residence of Tranquil East. With such a great loss of face, the young masters of the Residence of Tranquil East had all rushed back to stand at the gate of the Fragrant Storey and ask for an audience.
Grand Preceptor An sighed at née Qin. ”It looks like the affairs of my estate have already been spread outside. His Majesty has already said not to spread the news, but who can stop Yunyun from speaking?”
She covered her face with a handkerchief and shook her head.
”Father!” An Yuanwen couldn't wait for Grand Preceptor An's reply, so he called out again.
”This has nothing to do with you”. Grand Preceptor An said.
”Father, mother is getting old, you guys …”
An Yuwen still wanted to persuade him. ”Shut up!” Grand Preceptor An burst out from within the garden. This is not a matter for you juniors to meddle in! This old one has yet to be buried! ”
All four young masters kneeled on the ground due to Grand Preceptor An's fury.
An Yuanwen's wife, the eldest wife of the An clan, did not dare to come. When she heard the servant report that An Yuanwen had returned home, she rushed over with her serving maid. Seeing the An Yuwen brothers kneeling outside the Fragrant Sky Garden, the Ning family also knelt down as well.
