Chapter 111: Probe
When Old Madam An learnt of this news, she also only laughed coldly and didn't say anything.
Anyway, all over An Mansion there has been a surge of undercurrents. but on the surface it was still kind of calm, and no one was willing to mention this matter again.
Lian Jinrong and An Yanran sat opposite each other and the mother and daughter were silent for a while. At last, An Yanran opened her mouth and said, "Cousin did not even personally come to send the betrothal gift, probably he is angry with us, maybe my words have also spread to the Kang Wangfu ......"
Lian Jinrong woke up after listening to it: “No wonder, blame me. I should have went to the door and explain this matter to them personally. It’s my mistake that I didn’t clarify the misunderstanding before Ye’er left. In the letter, I think I have made it clear…”
“You sent a letter to Shu Guifei, but you mentioned the truth of the matter?”
“Of course, this thing was all done by An Qingran. I certainly told the truth!” Lian Jinrong was pale in anger.
After that incident, she wrote a letter directly to Shu Guifei, in which she said that An Yanran was also victim. Kang Wang misunderstood their mother and daughter. On that day, An Yanran was supposed to receive the female guests with An Qingran, when the two of them were drinking tea, An Yanran got into An Qingran's way, then she received a note written by the Kang Wang, asking her to meet her at the Wang Feng House, and she attached that paper note back to her in the letter as well. She also said that An Yanran never made an appointment with Dongfang Ye. The note he received was written by someone else, and it can be seen from the handwriting. If they want to know the truth of the matter, An Yanran is only young and afraid, so she will push the matter to Kang Wang. She regretted it a long time ago, don't blame their mother and daughter, etc...
When Shu Guifei received the letter, she read it carefully and asked Kang Wang to take out the note he had received. Where did she expect that Kang Wang had torn it up and lost it?
So, it doesn’t prove what they say.
But in the end it is a confession.
After Shu Guifei received that letter, she thought a lot about what they said about An Qingran, she was half believing it, if Lian Jinrong had said that this matter was Lian Jinyu's fault, she would have been able to believe it completely, after all, An Qingran was just a small child, how capable could she be?
How could she possibly have such a careful mind?
When she was in the General's residence, it wasn't as if she hadn't seen her. An Qingran looked like, just a dignified lady of the house. At that time, when she looked at her, she felt more and more that she was dignified and lovely, and that it was perfect for her to be her daughter-in-law.
But who knew that such a big change had suddenly occurred, how could she have framed An Yanran?
Why would she frame her younger sister?
Obviously, if it was true that this matter was done by her, then it would prove that she didn't have the slightest interest in Kang Wang!
Whether she likes or dislikes Kang Wang, by any means don’t like the crown Prince then it’s good!
Everything that had happened before, she had heard about it, and when An Qingran had spent so much time with the Crown Prince at the Yuehua Temple, she didn't know if there had been any contact between them, and if there had been, then what was the meaning of her move? Could it be the meaning of the Crown Prince?

The more Shu Guifei thought about it, the less she was interested in Lian Jinrong’s mother and daughter things. An Yanran want to marry into Kang Wangfu then let her be. As for An Qingran, She had some other ideas.
So, she declared An Qingran to enter the palace.
Lian Jinrong’s heart was very complicated when she heard about it. She said to An Yanran that it was probably Shu Guifei believed their words, so maybe to avenge for them.
An Qingran was shocked when she heard Shu Guifei inviting her to go.
This is what she didn’t expect.
Lian Jinyu is also feels strange. That Kang Wang gave An Yanran a betrothal gifts. Why do come to invite An Qingran?
Now, it’s troubled times, she was suspicious and wanted to accompany her to the Imperial palace.
An Qingran thought for a moment: “Mother, I didn’t do anything wrong. She called me. I am going. I have to look at what she wants to say. I think not because of anything else, probably Kang Wang and An Yanran’s thing. An Yanran framed me and surely Shu Guifei also knows…”
“It’s not a big deal. How can you do it alone?”
“Alone is good!” An Qingran smiled. “Let them see what great things I can do for a child?”
She laughed at herself.
Lian Jinyu did not rest assured. She accompanied her all the way to the outside of the imperial city, where she waited outside and allowed An Qingran to go in by herself.
When An Qingran saw Shu Guifei. She was drinking tea and and there were several small cakes on the table which looked very delicate.
Seeing her come in, she smiled and waved, “Come and sit down, there’s no need to salute…”
An Qingran still got up after giving the ceremony and sat down next to the chair. “Niangniang didn’t know what to tell to invite Chen nu into the palace?”
TN note: polite way calling Imperial concubine. She call herself as Chen nu(female subject).
Shu Guifei did not speak. First she moved her things in front of her and said with a smile, “Come on, taste it!”
An Qingran symbolically pinched a piece and put it in her mouth.
Shu Guifei slouched lazily on her couch with a slight smile on her face. She looked both dignified and kind.
It’s a very kind and beautiful woman.
Finally she opened her mouth: “Everyone knows that the Eldest Miss in the General’s Mansion is dignified and quiet. In this way, the more outstanding her temperament is, the less ordinary people are!”
Hearing this ,An Qingran is stunned for a while. What is this?
Can not help but say: “That is everyone’s love…”
"I do think that what everyone is saying makes sense, and privately, I'm still thinking that if you can enter our Kang Wangfu, that would really be a blessing for Ye Er!" Noble Consort Shu smiled with particular sincerity, as if she really liked An Qingran extremely much.
An Qingran hears the words and trembles in her heart!
She enters Kang Wangfu?
Yeah, it wasn't like she hadn't been in before, and that was really a blessing for Dongfang Ye, and just a disaster for herself!
Looking at Shu Guifei’s familiar face, the anger that she deliberately suppressed in her heart continued to rise. In her previous life, in front of her pretend to be a good person. In the back, twisted as a rope with Lian Jinrong’s mother and daughter. Still Don’t I know that?
Therefore, she laughed and changed the topic: “It’s a good thing that Kang Wang wants to marry Yanran meimei, I haven’t congratulate yet!”
Listening to her talking about Yanran, Shu Guifei’s face is not very good, she sighed:”Speaking of this matter, we all know that, naturally not afraid that you laugh. Although Yanyan is also good looking, and in the end, matters of her and the Ye'er was spread by the everyone as joke which made our reputation bad. I can not imagine that she could do such a thing, But she is not righteous. Our Kang Wangfu can not not be unreasonable,we have to bear the responsibility that should be borne by Ye'er! However, Ye'er and I have spoken privately, and Qingran you are the best candidate for us, I wonder what you think?"
An Qingran was amazed. She never expected Shu Guifei to talk directly with her about this matter, and it was not long before An Yanran was chosen.
Where do they really think I am good, they just think that General’s Fu is good for them!
