After hearing what the aunts said, An Bihuai's eyes flashed with anger, and he slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table with a "bang".

When An Zhao saw this, she knew that the instigation of her and several concubines had worked.

But if she wants An Bihuai to act according to what she wants, she needs to add some more fuel.

So, she took advantage of the moment when An Bihuai lowered his head in anger, and smiled and winked at her aunt beside her.

The aunts added fuel to the fire and said:

"Master, this Miss An is really..."

"What Miss An!"

The other aunt glanced at An Bihuai, whose face was livid, and interrupted the aunt who was speaking. She said sourly, circling around An Bihuai:

"Today is different from the past. I am now serving the emperor as Concubine An. I gave birth to a princess for the emperor..."

"Yes!"

An Zhaoshi, who was massaging An Bihuai's shoulders, suddenly stopped what she was doing:

"It is said that if this person succeeds, all his family members will be blessed, but this An-pin..."

An Zhao deliberately lengthened her voice, as if she was afraid that An Bihuai didn't understand who she was talking about, and continued with what she had just said:

"She was only concerned with taking her mother to Beijing to enjoy a good life, and completely forgot about us!"

"Yeah yeah!"

The other aunts echoed:

"Who said it wasn't true? Master, what did I tell you before? Lin Xiu and her mother and daughter are just ungrateful wolves who can never be tamed!"

"They only care about their own success and leave us in this poor and remote place. Aren't they afraid of being struck by lightning?"

One of the powerful concubines pointed in the direction of the Forbidden City, twirled her handkerchief, jumped and talked, and looked extremely fierce.

The other concubines also gnashed their teeth and kept accusing Lin Xiu and An Lingrong, mother and daughter.

"That's enough! Shut up, both of you!"

An Bihuai, who could no longer bear it, stood up suddenly, pointed at the concubines in front of him, and said sternly:

"If it weren't for you crazy women, who kept whispering nonsense in my ears, would I have agreed to let that bitch Lin Xiu and Aunt Xiao come to Beijing?"

"If that bitch was in my hands, would that rebellious girl not submit obediently?"

Hearing what An Bihuai said, the concubines lowered their heads, looked at each other, carefully twirled their handkerchiefs, and dared not speak.

After all, An Bihuai was telling the truth. When An Lingrong wrote a letter hoping that Lin Xiu would come to Beijing, An Bihuai originally disagreed. It was the few of them who took turns whispering in An Bihuai's ear.

At the time, they just thought that the blind Lin Xiu was an eyesore and wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible, but they didn't think so far ahead -

It really proves the saying - women have long hair and little knowledge. They only know how to be jealous and have no idea about the affairs of the court.

The women here refer specifically to the several aggressive concubines in the An Mansion.

When An Zhaoshi heard that An Bihuai was settling past scores with them, she immediately covered her nose with a handkerchief, pretended to be sad, and started crying:

"Master, we had good intentions when we persuaded you to let your wife come to Beijing, thinking that this would make that lowly woman remember your kindness!"

"But who would have known, who would have known that that cheap woman...it was her, she was so heartless!"

As she spoke, An Zhao pulled up An Bihuai's sleeves with her fingers and shook them left and right like a spoiled child.

"All you do all day is to mess around! There's no point in crying now!"

An Bihuai suddenly pulled away An Zhaoshi's hand that was holding his sleeve:

"All you do is cry and make a fuss all day long. You can't even give me a son. Believe it or not, I will divorce you all soon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw An Zhaoshi being dragged and lying on the ground.

An Bihuai moved the corners of his mouth unconsciously. You know, among all the concubines, his favorite was An Zhao.

An Bihuai once said that An Zhaoshi was the reincarnation of the nine-tailed fox fairy written in the book. She was not only charming but also soul-stirring.

This was the first time in all these years that he had lost his temper with An Zhao.

When the other concubines saw this, they were so frightened that they dared not say a word.

An Zhao pretended to be weak and pitiful, propped herself up, knelt in front of An Bihuai and said:

"Master, I know that you have been looking for ways and connections these days in order to get a chance for promotion."

"The reason why I and the other concubines mentioned Concubine An today is all for your sake, Master."

As she spoke, An Zhao's tears flowed down like beads from a broken string.

"Yes, sir!"

Seeing this, the other concubines hurriedly continued An Zhao's words and said:

"We women are all of the same blood with the master. Only when the master is well, will we be well."

"The reason why we wear gold and silver all day long is all for your sake, Master."

After hearing this, An Bihuai's anger was reduced a lot. He looked at An Zhao who was kneeling on the ground and let out a long breath:

"It's all my fault, Master. I was in a bad mood, so I took my anger out on you. The ground is cold, get up quickly!"

As he spoke, An Bihuai bent down and helped An Zhao up.

An Zhaoshi pretended to cover her eyes with a handkerchief.

An Bihuai, who has always been greedy for money, lustful and brainless, could never stand seeing An Zhaoshi in this state. He felt itchy in his heart and swallowed hard a few times.

Afterwards, he sent away the other concubines, took An Zhao's hand, and went to the bedroom.

After comforting An Zhao with words, his hands began to become restless.

"Master, don't be so impatient!"

An Zhaoshi stopped An Bihuai:

"We haven't finished discussing the serious matters yet. Are you really willing to be the magistrate of Songyang County for the rest of your life?"

"Only a devil would be willing to do that!"

When this was mentioned, An Bihuai suddenly lost his mood and let go of An Zhaoshi's hand:

"I've done enough to this lousy county magistrate!"

"But you know that I, your master, am only capable of this much!"

"I have found all the connections I need to find, and the money I spent on bribery alone is more than this amount!"

"Five thousand taels?"

Looking at the five fingers that An Bihuai stretched out, An Zhaoshi asked, suppressing her heartache.

"My dear!"

An Bihuai held An Zhaoshi's hand, his face wrinkled:

"If only it were five thousand taels!"

"That's 50,000 taels of silver!"

"what!"

Hearing this, An Zhao could no longer control her inner excitement and stood up with a look of surprise.

At this moment, An Zhao felt that she was truly blind to choose such a cowardly man.

But An Bihuai was still talking to himself:

"I gave away everything that was given to me, and it hasn't even made a splash yet!"

"I really hate myself for not asking that bitch Lin Xiu to donate a higher position for me!"

An Zhao took advantage of An Bihuai's inattention and gave him a glare, then suppressed the anger in her heart and said:

"This matter still depends on Concubine An!"

"No matter what Concubine An says, she is still your daughter. She left this family."

"She only wants to be happy and doesn't care about our lives. There is no such a cheap thing in the world!"

"Besides, getting you promoted is just something she can do with just a few words!"

"Everyone knows what her relationship is with Concubine Xi and Concubine Shen!"

"Let's not talk about Concubine Xi, let's take Concubine Shen for example. She and Concubine Shen are both concubines. Look at what official position Concubine Shen's father holds, and what official position you hold!"
