The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 453 Congratulate Princess An on her birthday (5)
Concubine An asked An Ran to come here today, she was uneasy and well-intentioned, An Ran knew it in her heart, so before she opened her mouth, she pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Why didn't the eldest sister-in-law come?"

"Oh, I heard that sister-in-law is sick and can't get up!" Dugu Xiangyu said with a bit of contempt.Concubine Kang is Kang Wang's cousin and the daughter of the Lu family, but the Lu family was suppressed by the emperor ten years ago. Although they did not kill them all because of extrajudicial favors in the face of other aristocratic families, the Lu family does not have much influence in the court.

An Ran smiled and said: "I heard that they were all well the day before yesterday, but they were ill yesterday. Now the weather is getting colder and colder, you have to be careful about your health." It is obvious that Concubine Kang does not want to come to Prince An's Mansion to celebrate Concubine An's birthday, As for why, everyone can think about it as much as they want.

Dugu Xiangyu knew that An Ran was insinuating that she was unpopular, and the sister-in-law would rather pretend to be sick than come to congratulate her.However, she is not concerned about whether her sister-in-law can come. Her purpose today is to attack Princess Ping, which is the task assigned by the prince.

"By the way, it's rare for the third sibling to go out. Why don't you bring my sister here? We haven't seen each other for a long time! By the way, I forgot to introduce the younger siblings. This lady is my third aunt and also my sister. The mother of Thirteenth Sister, she has been looking forward to meeting my Thirteenth Sister today!"

Doesn't Princess An know about the good deeds that Concubine Dugu has done?Or was he sure that she didn't dare to tell what happened that day, so he made things difficult for her on purpose?An Ran guessed the intention of Dugu Xiangyu in her heart, but said in surprise on the face: "What? Doesn't the second emperor's wife know that Dugu's side concubine is seriously ill? Last time the Duke went to visit the sick person himself! The third lady didn't know either. do you know?"

"Please also ask the princess to take care of the little girl." Dugu Third Madam bowed to An Ran with red eyes, as if An Ran had bullied her.

Princess An also added fuel to the firewood and said: "Oh, I've been sick for so long, why haven't I recovered yet? Have you asked for an imperial doctor? Which imperial doctor did you ask for? I'll call to ask about it another day. You are so young Man, why doesn’t this disease get better?”

Dugu Xiangyu really didn't know what happened in the Empress Dowager's palace that day, but she knew that the Dugu family had completely given up on Dugu Xiangyun.The third Mrs. Dugu came today to take this opportunity to intercede for her daughter.Dugu Xiangyu also took advantage of the situation and agreed, thinking of using the hand of the third aunt to achieve his goal of discrediting Princess Ping.

An Ran secretly sighed that the people in the royal family were all born with acting skills. The scene that Dugu Xiangyun ran into the palace that day and made a fuss must not be spread to the outside world, especially in the current turmoil when hundreds of officials are asking for the crown prince. Go out, that would be bad.

An Ran sighed lightly, and said in a very regretful tone: "The second emperor's wife really doesn't know, right? The third wife doesn't know either? Didn't the Duke of the State say it when he went back? Dugu side concubine..."

"What happened to my thirteenth sister?" Dugu Xiangyun asked.She didn't care what happened to Dugu Xiangyun, even if it was a scandal, it would still be Prince Ping's Mansion.Moreover, maybe she can give Princess Ping a reputation of being jealous and intolerant.

Well, if there is a way to heaven, you don’t want to go, but if there is no way to hell, you have to go there.An Ran sighed softly: "Oh, Concubine Dugu blamed our Highness for marrying the main concubine and neglecting her, went to the palace to find the empress dowager to complain, saying that she seemed to be a widow, life was difficult, the empress dowager got angry, said she was jealous, and made her think about it behind closed doors What! The Lord of the Kingdom went there that day to reprimand her."

"In that case, the third siblings don't talk nonsense! The girl from our Dugu family will never be such a person!" Dugu Xiangyu's complexion changed, she never thought that Princess Ping would say such a thing.Who of these noble ladies is not hiding what they are talking about?
Dugu Xiangyun saw that Princess Ping was also a smart person before, how could he put such a thing on the bright side?After being neglected, they complained to the Queen Mother, and even said words like widowhood. Where does this leave their Dugu family?If this word got out, what reputation would the daughter of their Dugu family have?If this is the case, and she singled out the things that the queen mother and grandfather tried to cover up, wouldn't they hate her to death?
The Dugu Third Madam also knelt down to An Ran and cried begging: "I beg the princess to show virtue, and give my poor daughter a way to survive! She is just an unfavored side concubine, and will not threaten the princess or anything."

An Ran hurriedly got up to avoid it, and said with an embarrassed look: "I didn't want to talk about such a thing, but the second emperor's wife must ask clearly... I come from a humble background, and this is the first time I have gone out to participate in such a banquet , I was very nervous. As soon as the second sister-in-law asked, I couldn't help but tell the truth, I'm really sorry."

The Dugu third lady had red eyes and kowtowed sideways to An Ran, as if she believed that An Ran, the princess, could not tolerate her daughter, so she ruined her daughter's reputation.

"I beg your concubine to be merciful and give my daughter a way out! I beg you... woo woo woo..."

This is when she is easy to bully, right?Just think that she can't tolerate talents deliberately ruining Dugu side concubine's reputation?I don't even want to see if Dugu Xiangyun has the ability to make her afraid!
An Ran became angry, and immediately said with a cold face: "The third lady is so aggressive, is it because she wants to force me to admit the crime of being mean to the side concubine? Fortunately, this matter was interrogated by the emperor and the empress dowager. If you don’t believe me, you can go back and ask the Duke, or you can go to the palace and ask the Queen Mother! Both the Queen Mother and the Duke are from the Dugu family, so you will not wrong the girls of the Dugu family, right?”

The third wife of Dugu fell silent, and the other wives were also silent.

Only then did An Ran go back and sit down, and said indifferently: "If the third lady is not feeling well and her mind is not clear, why don't you go back and rest first? If you mess around like this, it would be bad if you disturb my second sister-in-law's birthday."

Dugu Xiangyu bit his lower lip hard, and signaled his female attendant to quickly lead someone to help the third lady down.Third Aunt's chess game is useless, so she has to change it.

You want to get rid of it, don't you?I don't want you to wish!An Ran is also cautious towards the enemy, she immediately said with a smile on her face: "But the Second Emperor's Wife is the Second Emperor's Wife, Dugu Side Concubine is Dugu Side Concubine, although you are all girls from the Dugu family, everyone knows that you are It's different. The second emperor's wife should not take it to heart."
