Chapter 86 An Family

Gu Ren smiled and stretched out his hands to pinch Kangkang's dangling calf on Wei Sichen's shoulder, and smiled, "Kangkang is so smart. The water lantern festival is to put a lot of lanterns on the river, and then the participants will use poles to hang water in small boats. During the period, the candle on the lamp cannot be extinguished, otherwise it will be invalid, and the lamp in the water cannot be extinguished. Whichever boat has the most lamps will win the top spot temporarily, and then there will be some questions on the lamp, and at least [-]% of the answers must be correct To enter the big ship..."

While Gu Ren was talking slowly, he bought food for the two children from the stall next to him from time to time.

An Ning also listened with relish, and could even imagine what kind of grand occasion it was.

Wei Sichen had been paying attention to her all the time, and immediately saw her interest, so he leaned over and whispered, "The water lantern festival will be held for seven days without repeating every day. If you are interested, I will take you there tomorrow."

Hearing this, An Ning thought for a while and shook her head decisively.

Starting tomorrow is the Yuanshi Contest. Although she basically doesn't need to host and participate in it, it's not easy to leave casually.

And she always felt that the place in the imperial capital represented trouble, and she would not touch it if she could not touch it.

Wei Sichen was noncommittal and didn't persuade him much. In fact, he didn't want to go back to the imperial capital either.

On the Yuanshi Festival, the monarch will also perform sacrifices to the heavens, and the children of the royal family and all officials will participate in it.

He didn't go back this time, he must be very angry, and it would be troublesome to go back now.

At the same time, in the courtyard of Doctor Zuoqing's mansion in the imperial capital, a group of people were led through the corridor by servants.

A group of maids and servants also walked towards them, surrounded by a beautiful woman dressed as a woman.

"Stop, who is it?" The servant girl beside the beautiful woman sternly shouted.

The servant who was leading the people on the opposite side quickly bowed, "The eldest lady, An, and the younger one is ordered by the second lady to lead the visiting relatives of An's family to Anxinyuan."

"Oh, are these relatives of Sister An? It's the first time I've seen them." Hearing this, the eldest lady waved her hand lightly to signal the servant girl to back down, then she smiled and looked at the shy people behind the servant, her eyes flashed A touch of sarcasm and disdain.

The servant bowed, a little nervous, and turned to look at the people behind him, not knowing how to introduce him.

The eldest lady waved her hand, and said, "Since you are a relative of Sister An, take it as soon as possible. Don't make Sister An anxious. Biyun, tell the housekeeper to send some treasures, and it will be regarded as my wife's meeting gift."

"Yes." Fushen, the maid beside her, took the order, and retreated with a smile on her lips.

When the An's family behind the servants heard the news, some of them didn't expect that the eldest lady, whom An Xin often referred to as a femme fatale, would be so kind, and immediately relaxed and felt a little complacent.

Only one or two smart ones could not help but dim their eyes when they heard the contempt in the other party's words, and a trace of haze flashed in their eyes.

Because of this, no one took the initiative to speak for a while.

The servant turned his head and rolled his eyes at the young man in charge a few times, signaling him to thank him quickly and leave, but he didn't say a word.

The corner of Da Furen's lips twitched lightly, she smiled lightly and ignored her, and continued walking forward with a group of servants.

When they walked away, the servant secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully said to the people behind, "Several, this is the eldest lady, and all matters in the mansion are under the authority of the eldest lady," implying that they should not offend this easily.

"Let's go." The young man who was the leader, who had been silent all this time, snorted coldly, and after saying two words, he took the lead and continued to move forward.

The servants were helpless, but they didn't dare to offend them. No matter how I said it, the second lady was considered the master's equal wife. Although she was only famous but had no power, her status was something that servants like them could not afford to offend.

Everyone was taken to a courtyard.

All kinds of rare fragrant fruits and tea have been placed on the stone table in the pavilion in the courtyard.

Sitting inside the pavilion was a charming girl about seventeen or eighteen years old, but she was dressed as a woman, and there were two servant girls standing beside her.

The girl looked up from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone.

After a while, seeing a group of people approaching, his eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and quickly walked down the pavilion.

At this time those people were also brought by servants.

"Little Feather!"

"Sister!" Seeing the woman, the leading boy stepped forward excitedly, reached out to hold his sister's hands, with an excited expression on his face.

The woman's face was flushed, and she raised her hand to gently caress the young man's cheek, "Okay, okay, I haven't seen you for many years, and Xiao Yu has also grown up. She really looks talented, and she is like the wind."

"My sister is getting more and more beautiful." The boy blushed slightly, with a bit of embarrassment.

"Hehe, come on, come up and sit down, you go down, and you come together."

Everyone sat down, the woman kept holding the boy's hand, and asked eagerly, "How is the family, how is mother?"

The young man smiled slightly when he heard the words, and he was a little distressed, "Father has been in poor health in recent years, and he often stays sick. Mother has been taking care of him. The family has recovered a little bit over the years. Thanks to my sister, my mother let me tell my sister, everything Be careful, there is no hurry at home."

"Oh, I know, but how can I be at ease, but don't worry, it won't be long, soon..." The woman said, her eyes flickered slightly, and there was a gloomy look in the flashing cold light.

"So what if my sister is here? Have you been wronged?" The young man looked at the woman with concern.

I also have a lot of resentment towards my father, complaining that my father should not marry my sister to an old man in his 50s as a concubine for the benefit of the family.

Fortunately, my sister was smart since she was a child. Even if she is a concubine, she can rely on her own ability to become a common wife these years.

"I……"

"Ma'am, the housekeeper ordered someone to bring some things over, saying that it was the order of the eldest lady." A maid came with a food box.

The woman in the pavilion frowned slightly, with a gloomy look in her eyes, she said, "What is it?"

"Sister." The boy immediately relayed what happened when he met the eldest lady and what the eldest lady said.

Hearing this, the woman's face suddenly turned ugly.

But there are still some who don't understand, and said with a smile, "This lady is quite kind, sister An Xin is really blessed."

The woman's face became even uglier when she heard the words, and she turned her head to stare at the man who spoke.

The man was stunned by her, and the smile froze on his face.

The woman ignored him and just said to the maid, "Throw it into the lake and feed the fish."

"Yes."

The boy also glared at the man who spoke.

The man was a little puzzled, he couldn't help being stared at by the siblings, he felt displeased, and was about to say something, but someone else secretly pulled his sleeves.

He paused, and finally gritted his teeth and endured it.

After all, they came here this time to seek An Xin's help, so they can't offend them yet.

Besides, who are these siblings?

The girl named An Xin is An Ning's half-sister, and she was also the one who framed An Ning and expelled An Ning from An's family.

The boy is An Xin's younger brother, An Yu, who is 15 years old this year.

The reason why An Ning's mother and son were so completely abandoned back then was also because the concubine gave birth to An's eldest son.

For the sake of the eldest son, An's father allowed An Xin's mother and daughter to oppress An Ning's mother and daughter, and even abolished his wife as a concubine, and raised his concubine's room as his wife.

How could An Xin not be able to see the thoughts of these people, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at the young man beside him, "How many people are arranged by the family to participate in the cooking competition this time?
