The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 375: No Way to Calm Down the Situation (2)

An was still feeling sorry for herself in the ancestral hall, but she never expected that the two giant beasts in the capital would make her own affairs worse while fighting each other so fiercely.

The connections of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince were so formidable that both forces simultaneously stepped forward to investigate An's affairs. Even if An had met the man she loved several times in the northwest in her early years, they were able to find out everything clearly.

The Fifth Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince acted quickly. This time, the response caused by the An family in the capital was not just a small matter like before, which was just a topic of conversation among people after dinner.

Ever since Song Hongwen got the fifth prince's approval, he has been mentally prepared.

But what Song Hongwen didn't expect was that the rumors about the An family in the capital not only did not gradually subside, but instead intensified.

Song Hongwen originally thought that it was a competitor in the capital who came specifically for him, but after sending out his guards and secret guards, he couldn't find even a clue.

The person behind the scenes seemed to suddenly appear in the capital, stirring up a bloody storm about himself, and then disappeared without a trace.

Unable to find any trace of the person behind the scenes, Song Hongwen became more and more anxious. Although the power of the Duke's Mansion has been declining over the years, its accumulated foundation is still there.

Although the capital city is large, there are not many forces that can stab the Duke's Mansion in the back and leave no trace.

It can't be that His Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Fifth Prince, and Prime Minister Bai are the ones dealing with the Duke of Song's Mansion.

For a moment, Song Hongwen felt that he was overwhelmed and had to deal with endless troubles every day.

The more annoyed he became, the more Song Hongwen hated An. If An hadn't been so stupid and cared about such petty gains, the Duke's Mansion wouldn't have fallen into such a predicament.

However, Song Hongwen was now busy with many things and had no time to scold An.

Otherwise, Song Hongwen might scold An for a whole day and night, and never repeat the same words.

When the seven days were up, An's punishment of kneeling in the ancestral hall also came to an end.

Early in the morning, Yang Jing and An Xiaoqiu were waiting outside the ancestral hall.

It was not until Mrs. An came out staggeringly that Yang Jing and An Xiaoqiu hurried forward to support her.

"mother."

"aunt."

The An family has been suffering in there these days, and Yang Jing and An Xiaoqiu are not having a good time either.

The old lady and Song Hongwen personally sent people to guard the ancestral hall. Even Yang Jing could not get close to the hall, and the food and clothes she brought with her could not be delivered.

The ancestral hall is not big, and An Shi knows what has been going on outside these days. Jing Jieer and Xiao Qiu come here every day to report safety.

Seeing An's pale face without a trace of blood, Yang Jing's eyes immediately turned red: "Mother, you suffered in there."

Although Mrs. An felt sorry for her daughter, she didn't have the strength to speak. She couldn't say anything and could only force a smile.

Although Yang Jing and An Xiaoqiu wanted to help An back to the main house, they had grown up being served by others, so how could they possibly help An who had no strength in her body.

In the end, it was Mother Jin and other maids who took over and helped An back to the house.

Outside the main house, Song Hongwen sent two servants to guard the gate, so Yang Jing and An Xiaoqiu could not enter.

Seeing the ugly look on Miss Six's face, Mother Jin comforted her, "Don't worry Miss Six, I'm here with Madam. I will take good care of Madam."

Yang Jing nodded: "Mother Jin, if there are any problems these days, you must inform me immediately."

As for An, she was feeling groggy due to her poor health and didn't notice what was happening at all.

After returning to the main house, An ate some liquid food and had her body simply wiped by Mother Jin. Only then did she feel better.

Mother Jin looked at An, who had lost a lot of weight, and said distressedly, "Madam, you have suffered these days."

An shook her head: "Let's not talk about this anymore.

How have things been going at Changshou Hall in the past seven days?"

Even though the outside was in chaos, the Duke actually locked himself up during this time.

Isn't this just letting outsiders cause chaos at will?

Mother Jin took a long breath and said, "Madam, after the incident, the Duke went out for a while, and when he came back, he sent someone to scold the people in the main room.

The debtors who had been making trouble outside the mansion were invited into the mansion by the Second Lady that day. These people are now in the hands of the Duke.

After returning home, the Duke issued an order that no one in the courtyard was allowed to leave the courtyard or act without permission.

Today, the Madam came out, so there are fewer people monitoring us.

From today on, I can enter and leave the yard."

When An heard the word "Duke", she felt her heart twitch.

During the seven days in the ancestral hall, what An feared most was Song Hongwen.

For some reason, in the ancestral hall, An's dissatisfaction with Song Hongwen over the years was infinitely magnified, and his heart and eyes were filled with the unfair treatment Song Hongwen had received over the years.

"My Lord, he has such a cruel heart." Having said this, An's tears once again filled her red eyes.

Xing'er obediently prepared the handkerchief and handed it to Mother Jin.

Mother Jin quickly took out a clean handkerchief and wiped Madam's tears: "Madam, you can't think like that. Miss Six is ​​still young, and she will still rely on you to support her in the future!"

My cousin An Xiaoqiu has found a good home now. Although the Xiao family has a bastard son, at least my cousin will be the legal wife when she marries him. As long as she lives a good life, her future life will be good.

However, the Sixth Miss is so young and has not yet reached the age of marriage, so the Madam will have to choose her future husband carefully.

Thinking of her sister Jing, An finally regained some energy: "By the way, where is sister Jing? She went back."

Mother Jin shook her head helplessly: "The Duke has sent people to guard outside the courtyard, even the Sixth Miss cannot enter.

By now, the Sixth Miss should have returned to Fangfei Pavilion."

An closed her eyes and said, "Mother Jin, do you think it was Aunt Yin and Jinx who teamed up to harm me?"

Now, I was attracted by the loan sharking step by step, until I was trapped myself. It really seemed like it was arranged by someone.

If it weren't for the help of people in the mansion, how could people outside know the current situation and developments in the mansion so clearly.

If these things were done by the Duke's competitors, they could just attack the Duke directly instead of spending so much energy to deal with themselves.

To put it bluntly, I am already Song Hongwen's third wife, which shows that Song Hongwen is not a loyal person. He can just look for someone else.

Mother Jin really couldn't answer this question, but Xing'er beside her said, "Madam, since the Duke has taken over this matter, it is a good thing for us."
