"Shut up, can’t you say less?"
"Ha, say less?"
Auntie i sneered, looking at her husband as though he were an idiot.
"Think about it, our family was fine before. Now that Prince Zhan and Prince An Yang just returned, trouble started. The land deed issue was just from this morning, and by evening, the family books were burned to ashes. Don’t you think that those books were burned by ghosts?"
She realized that this was Prince Zhan’s retaliation against her nephew. And she feared that this was just the beginning; the future would be filled with hardships.
"What do you an by that?" Second Elder An was puzzled.
"What’s happening in our family got nothing to do with Prince An Yang’s return, does it?"
"Stop feigning ignorance! Your ’dear’ nephew dread of marrying the princess, scheming with your mother to target Qian County Princess. You’re unaware? Your mother asked to play matchmaker, and you heard it clearly."
She forgot, having no real desire to set up her nephew An Que. After all, the status of the county princess was apparent. To ordinary folks like them, she was esteed as an empress.
But her mother-in-law was too domineering, endlessly praising her grandson’s future success, saying he would beco a high official.
So she lost her senses and went to propose to An Jiuyue, only to find that the county princess had no interest in An Que.
"You an... no way, my nephew is a scholar!"
Second Elder An believed his nephew wasn’t lacking either. The princess couldn’t simply dismiss him, right? Even if she did, using underhanded tactics to disturb their ho was excessive!
"A scholar, my foot!"
Auntie i cursed, sincerely feeling that no one in this household knew better. Wasn’t she just like them before?
"What counts as a scholar to the county princess empress? She’s seen many prominent figures, and you really think Qian County Princess would ever fancy your nephew, a re scholar? Dreaming little dreams!
She’s from the capital, a place for big shots! Scholars there are as common as dirt!
Now that her brother and sister-in-law have returned, of course, they would seek revenge. Just wait and see, our family days will be hard!"
"This, this..."
Second Elder An felt his heart skip at his wife’s words.
"Surely not, Prince Zhan wouldn’t be unreasonable, would he? If the marriage proposal failed, so be it, but he wouldn’t destroy our lives, would he? After all, we are from the sa village as Prince An Yang, aren’t we?"
"Hehehe."
Auntie i sneered twice.
"You can think however you want. I’m telling you, I’m not touching your family’s ss. If you let your mother pursue the county princess, I won’t intervene even if your whole family dies. I’ll take the kids back to my daughter-in-law’s family!"
She didn’t want to be ruined along with her husband’s family.
If she died, so be it, but her children couldn’t be hard. Though her children weren’t liked by her mother-in-law, she bore them for ten months.
"Right now, you should go out and comfort your mother, and don’t bla for not warning you. Who knows? Prince An Yang’s n might be lurking in so corner watching."
"I..." Second Elder An instantly felt timid.
