"Father?"

An Yurou froze on the spot, her eyes cracked.

Since Yue became the mistress, her status in the mansion has soared overnight.

With the Yue clan coaxing her, Duke An Guo also doted on and tolerated her daughter. So much so that she got used to this kind of life and forgot her duty.

When An Guogong saw that she did not obey his orders, he accused Yue Shidao.

"Is this the good daughter you raised? I see no difference between her and An Yueli. She knows how to disobey her elders!"

"Master, calm down!"

Hearing the word "disobedience" used by the other party, Yue's face suddenly turned pale.

"Sir, please be careful! Yurou just said the wrong thing in a moment of impatience and had no other meaning."

For children, disobedience to their parents is a grave sin. If these words were spread, An Yurou would probably be drowned in the spit of outsiders.

While Yue begged for mercy for her daughter, she signaled to Grandma Wang to take her away quickly.

"Why are you still standing there in a daze? Go back and stand for punishment. If the master is not angry, you won't be allowed to eat tonight!"

Amid Yue's scolding, which seemed harsh but actually protective, An Yurou was dragged out of the main room by Grandma Wang. It was only then that she felt frightened.

"Mommy, what happened to my father? He has never said that to me before, let alone blamed my mother."

Grandma Wang sighed, "The Duke of Guo has not recovered yet, and he was angered by An Yueli, so it is inevitable that he will have a bad temper.

At this time, the young lady should share the worries of the Duke and Madam, but you must not contradict them again."

An Yurou bit her lip and said nothing, feeling aggrieved and sad.

It wasn't just because of being scolded, but because of An Guogong's attitude, she couldn't help but think of the days when she and the Yue clan had been cautiously trying to survive under Jiang Qinglan.

All the wealth now is because Yue became the mistress. Once Yue is disliked, all status will be taken back.

An Yurou clenched her fists, and the nails on her fingertips dug bright red wounds in her palms.

"To put it bluntly, it's An Yueli's fault. Since she reached out to the main courtyard to sow discord between father and mother, then don't blame me for being ruthless and operating on Jiang Qinglan!"

A few days later.

An Yurou came to Shanzhitang by car and asked to see Yin Huaizhi by name.

The waiter in the shop was frightened when he saw the carriage of Duke An Guo, and bluntly said that Yin Huaizhi was not in the shop.

"Nonsense, I just saw Mr. Yin's servant carrying tea upstairs. He must be in the private room on the second floor. Get out of the way, I want to see Mr. Yin."

An Yurou rushed upstairs regardless, while the maid Pei'er was responsible for stopping the waiter.

At this time, the door of the elegant room opened, and Yin Huaizhi walked out with a frown on his face.

"What's the fuss about?"

The waiter hurriedly begged for mercy, "Mr. Yin, please forgive me. I told you that you won't see any customers today, but this Miss An insists on forcing her way in."

Yin Huaizhi raised his eyes and glanced at An Yurou, his attitude was particularly cold.

"It's you."

"Master Yin!"

An Yurou's eyes instantly turned red when she saw the person she wanted to see. She walked up to him in a few steps and said coquettishly.

"This waiter is so rude. He knew you were here but deliberately lied to me!"

If it were in the past, Yin Huaizhi would have patiently comforted the other party, whether because of the old relationship between the two families or to maintain his own elegant demeanor.

However, today he was in a irritable mood and had no intention of caring about An Yurou's feelings.

"I asked him to say that."

"Master Yin?"

An Yurou was very surprised, tears welling up in her eyes, so pitiful.

"You don't want to see me, why?"

Yin Huaizhi was upset by her crying and said bluntly: "It's not because of your good sister!"

When he mentioned An Yueli, he felt a severe tightness in his chest. He flicked his sleeves and returned to the private room.

Seeing that the door was open, An Yurou gritted her teeth and followed in.

"Master Yin, calm down, you and I should have known who An Yueli is. In fact, I came here today just for her.

I heard that Shanzhitang sold two boxes of high-quality ambergris to An Yueli a few days ago, is this happening?"

"Selling? She is clearly robbing!"

When he thought of this, Yin Huaizhi became excited instantly.

"An Yueli is such a big arrogant person that she came to my shop with a royal concubine's book to cause trouble, and even took away the top-quality ambergris I prepared for His Royal Highness.

Just because of this, I was rejected when I went to see the prince today! Tell me, how can I not be annoyed?"

Yin Huaizhi originally wanted to select the best ambergris in the city and offer it to the prince to thank him for his merit. Unexpectedly, he lost his wife and lost his troops. The things were robbed, and he was even disliked by the prince.

An Yurou was stunned by his yelling. This was the first time she had seen Yin Huaizhi lose such a temper.

"An Yueli not only harmed Mr. Yin, but also instigated discord between my parents over the ambergris matter. If this revenge is not avenged, I really can't swallow this bad breath!"

Seeing that Yin Huaizhi remained silent, she simply moved to sit next to him.

"Mr. Yin, are you really going to let it go like this? Last time she kicked you out of the house in front of so many guests, and this time she brought people to make a big fuss in Shanzhitang. Next time she might go to speak ill of you in front of His Royal Highness.

.”

"She dares!"

"That's not certain. After all, An Yueli is Princess Xiao now. With such a big arrogance, she won't let us go even if we don't take action."

An Yurou's whispering voice was like a devil whispering in his ear, bringing out the deepest evil thoughts in Yin Huai's heart.

"As the saying goes, strike first and gain the upper hand. If it's too late, you'll lose everything."

"What do you want to do?"

Seeing the other party take the bait, An Yurou becomes determined.

"It's very simple. The reason why An Yueli is looking for trouble is just to save her crazy mother. A box of ambergris can't be used much, as long as Mr. Yin insists on not selling it to her the next time she comes.

Unless, she risks her life in exchange."

"Is this plan feasible? What if she doesn't come for a long time?" Yin Huaizhi complained repeatedly, "It was because of your letter last time that I bought so many medicinal materials on a whim.

In the end, An Yueli didn't need these at all, so I almost got them in my hands."

An Yurou couldn't bear the doubtful gaze of the other party, so she gritted her teeth and promised.

"No, as long as I'm here, Jiang Qinglan will have stopped taking the medicine long ago at the latest!"

The next day.

Early in the morning, floating smoke hurriedly knocked on An Yueli's door.

"Princess, are you up? Something happened with Madam."

An Yueli's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Mrs. Jiang's condition had changed, so she put on a coat and opened the door.

"But mother is not well?"

Fu Yan's eyes were red, "No, it's not. Madam is very good, it's just..."

She pursed her lips with tears in her eyes and fell to her knees.

"Last night, the slave was serving the lady and accidentally fell asleep. When Sister Caiyun woke me up this morning, I discovered that there were signs of being disturbed in the house."

An Yueli immediately understood, "We were robbed."
