Seeking peace

Chapter 8

Three years later.

Anguo Gongfu.

Today is a special day for An Guo Gongfu.

In the kitchen, Anyi, the former eldest lady of Duke An's Mansion, was busy.

Every year on this day, Anyi cooks herself and prepares a table of delicious dishes.

The servants only dared to watch from a distance, but did not dare to step forward to help.

They wanted to help, but past experience told them that the eldest lady would not let them interfere.

Today's An Guogong Mansion is a very special existence.

Three years ago, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he ordered people to renovate the Anguo Duke's mansion that was burned by the fire, and restored the title of Anguo Duke's mansion.

And sent someone to invite the married lady and uncle of Anguo Gongfu back to Anguo Gongfu.

The eldest uncle and the eldest lady agreed to return to An Guogong's mansion to live.

But he refused to inherit the title.

Even the servants and salary arranged by the emperor were rejected.

But the emperor was very persistent and insisted on arranging a lot of servants in Anguo Gong's mansion.

So although these servants live in the mansion of Duke Anguo, in fact, the monthly money comes from the hair of the palace.

There is no direct master-servant relationship with the eldest lady and the eldest uncle.

Their eldest son-in-law was originally a guard of An Guogong's mansion. After falling in love with the young lady, the young lady married him regardless of her family status.

And An Guogong didn't mind that his eldest son-in-law was an ordinary bodyguard.

An Guogong said that as long as the son-in-law is sincere to his daughter, it is enough.

Today's eldest son-in-law is working in the yamen, doing very low-level errands, with a meager salary.

The emperor had ordered many times to promote the eldest son-in-law, but the eldest son-in-law resisted the order.

If it were someone else who resisted the edict and did not obey it, it would be enough to kill him several times.

But their eldest son-in-law is fine, the emperor treats this couple kindly as always, and treats them with extra kindness.

This kind of favor fell on anyone's head, and that family was already grateful to Dade.

The eldest lady and eldest son-in-law who gave birth to them had no gratitude to the emperor at all.

The couple closed their doors to live their own little days.

The Eldest Miss and the Eldest Uncle lived in this magnificent Anguo Gong Mansion, but lived a poor life.

The daily meals are made by the eldest lady herself.

I don't even buy more vegetables on weekdays.

The eldest lady wore all the clothes she wore before she got married, and she hardly bought new clothes in the past two years.

But only today is different, today the eldest lady will buy a lot of vegetables, and she is not stingy with chicken, duck and fish.

Then make a table of dishes that two people can never finish.

None of the servants knew the significance of their elder sister and elder uncle doing this.

The servants once guessed what special day it is today, but they couldn't figure out what day it was today.

The deceased An Guogong, An Guogong's wife, and the second lady who died in the sea of ​​fire many years ago are not today's death day.

Another thing is that their young lady's health is very bad.

I have been married to my eldest uncle all these years and have never had a child.

I was pregnant with one a year ago, but the baby was lost not long after.

The doctor said it was caused by the eldest lady's overthinking.

I don't know what the eldest lady who has enjoyed so much favor and a carefree life is worried about, even the child is lost because of this.

After cooking a table of meals, An Yi brought them to her sister An Ning's room.

The room had been burned to the ground and its contents were gone.

Now it has been repaired almost the same as before, and even the furnishings inside are the same as before.

It's just that it's not the same after all.

An Yi didn't want to accept those gifts from Yun Qi, but she had to come back to live in the An Guo Gong's Mansion alone.

She is afraid, she is afraid that if she is not here to guard, the younger sister An Ning who has become a lonely ghost will not find a home.
