“What?!” An Linmian stood up and yelled, “How dare that eunuch threaten you! You bastard! Why don’t we call him uncle! Let’s see if I don’t beat him to death!” With that, An Linmian rolled up his sleeves and rushed out to beat Liu Ci.
An Ran quickly grabbed An Linmian’s arm. He had just finished saying what Liu Ci said, but he didn’t expect An Linmian to react so violently: “Hey, don’t worry, I haven’t finished speaking yet.”
“What else?! What else did the dog eunuch say?!” An Linmian punched the square pear wood table, causing ripples in the tea cup on the table, “If An Xiaoyu dares to marry anyone else, I will kill him too!”
“Mianmian,” Anmai pulled An Linmian’s sleeve and whispered softly, “Xiaoyu will not marry anyone else. Sit down first and listen to Ranran finish.”
“Yes, Sister Mianmian,” An Tu also advised, “Brother Xiaoyu is not that kind of person.”
An Linmian sat down angrily, looking at An Ran with wide-open eyes, his anger obviously not gone: “What else did the dog eunuch say?”
An Ran said: “I came here to say that we are leaving.”
When An Linmian heard this, he became angry again. He slammed the table and shouted, “You want to throw your wife here?!”
An Ran couldn’t laugh or cry: “Of course not. I mean, we want to take An Xiaoyu away.”
Hearing this, An Linmian’s anger subsided. Anmai poured a cup of tea for An Linmian and said, “The anger will hurt your health. Drink some water to calm down the anger.” Then he said to An Ran, “Of course, can Xiaoyu leave with us?”
This was also the reason why An Ran came to discuss with the three of them. Taking An Xiaoyu away was not as simple as just saying. They had no friends here, and An Xiaoyu was surrounded by many people at all times. It would be extremely difficult for the four of them to take An Xiaoyu away.
An Ran explained the current situation to a few people, and finally said: “We need to take a long-term view at this time, but I must take the person away. Although I don’t know what An Xiaoyu’s situation is in the court, but he must have been unhappy.”
An Tu interrupted: “Lele, you said they impeached Brother Xiaoyu, what is impeachment?”
“In front of many people, they said he was not good at this or that, scolded him in a roundabout way, and finally asked An Xiaoyu’s father to scold him and punish him!” An Ran became more and more angry as he talked. The thought of An Xiaoyu being picked on by a group of harsh old men in court made him angry and distressed.
“That’s unreasonable!” An Linmian protested again, his face turned red with anger, and he roared, “So they scolded An Xiaoyu thirty-two times last year?! A bunch of bastards! They bully people like this! An Ran, we can’t just leave! This revenge must be avenged before we leave!”
“What’s wrong?” As soon as he finished speaking, they heard An Xiaoyu’s voice coming from outside the moon cave door. Several people heard the voice and went out to see An Xiaoyu walking quickly, followed by two guards, Ling Feng and Jing Yu.
“You’re here just in time, An Xiaoyu, come here and sit down. Tutu, go get pen, ink, paper and inkstone.” An Linmian waved his hand, directing Antu with one hand and ordering An Xiaoyu to sit down with the other.
An Xiaoyu, along with Ling Feng and Jing Yu behind him, both looked confused. An Xiaoyu sat in the seat where An Tu had just left without knowing why, and glanced at An Ran in confusion.
An Ran didn’t understand what An Linmian wanted with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, so he could only look at An Linmian in confusion like An Xiaoyu.
A few people were sitting in the courtyard of Wutong Garden where An Linmian, An Mai, and An Tu lived. Soon, An Tu came back with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
An Linmian pointed at An Ran and said, “Go and polish the ink.”
An Ran was confused and was about to stand up to polish the ink. Ling Feng immediately stepped forward and said, “Come down.” He started to polish the ink.
An Linmian picked up another piece of pink letter paper and threw it in front of An Xiaoyu, handed it over to the pen, and said simply: “Write it down.”
An Xiaoyu held the pen and was confused. He looked back and forth at several people and said, “Write… what to write?”
“Name, who has scolded you? Write them all down! Grandma, the bullies have bullied us in Longyin Village! See if I don’t scold them to death!” As he said that, his anger rose again. An Linmian stepped on the stool with one foot on his waist and raised his eyebrows, looking like a fierce King of Hell.
An Xiaoyu was stunned for a while, glanced at An Ran quickly, and said hesitantly: “No… no one scolded me…”
“Impeach, impeach,” Antu explained thoughtfully, “Sister Mianmian is talking about the person who impeached you.”
Hearing this, An Xiaoyu suddenly smiled, put down his pen, and said calmly: “You have heard about it too. It’s okay, they want to play -”
“Nothing’s wrong!” An Linmian was particularly irritable today. Hearing this, he slapped the table again and let out an angry roar, which shocked Ling Feng who was sharpening the ink. His hand slipped and the dark ink flew out like a short arrow, hitting the huanghuali wood table hard and splashing a circle of ink dots.
Sitting opposite An Xiaoyu was An Linmian. Lingfeng was startled. He was about to see if there were any ink stains on An Linmian’s body, but he saw that An Linmian had already leaned over and took the purple pen that An Xiaoyu had just put down. He roughly dipped a dab of ink on the inkstone, handed it to An Xiaoyu, and ordered: “Write! Get rid of all the people who have impeached you over the years! No one who bullied our Longyin Village will be spared!”
An Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment while holding the pen, and looked at An Ran. He saw that An Ran also had an angry look on his face, puffing up his cheeks and not intending to speak, so he looked at An Mai again.
Anmai smiled slightly and said, “Write it first, and talk as you write.”
“Write! Don’t leave anything behind!” An Linmian added aggressively, “Write from the time you remember! Write as many as you can!”
An Xiaoyu picked up the pen, and An Mai slowly relayed what An Ran told them to An Xiaoyu.
At first, An Xiaoyu’s face became more and more gloomy, and he never put down the pen in his hand. Then, he relaxed his brows, raised his smile, and put down the pen as An Mai spoke unhurriedly.
A quarter of an hour later, An Mai finished explaining the whole story, and An Xiaoyu also put down his pen.
“That’s it? None?” An Linmian looked at a small piece of pink letter paper with names written on it, then took a piece of paper from the top of the pile of letter paper An Tu brought and placed it in front of An Xiaoyu, saying: “There is no shortage of paper, keep writing.”
An Xiaoyu thought for a while, then picked up a pen and wrote a few more names. Jingyu saw these names behind him and asked in confusion: “Your Highness, Li Man, Zhao Tao, Xie Lufeng… these people are not officials in the court? When did Your Highness know them?”
An Xiaoyu said calmly: “When I was twelve, the imperial grandmother asked me to hide my identity and go to the Imperial Academy to make friends. They took the lead in isolating me.”
Ling Feng and Jing Yu: “…….”
An Linmian said angrily: “You bastard! You are bullying at a young age! Wait! I will vent my anger on you now! Tutu, take the sword! Let’s go!” After that, An Linmian raised his legs to leave.
When An Ran heard An Xiaoyu speak solemnly about being isolated, she had mixed feelings in her heart. She felt sour and happy at the same time. She couldn’t help but feel grateful to An Linmian, but she had to stop her when she saw An Linmian leave.
“Lin Mian, Lin Mian,” An Ran pulled An Lin Mian, “Don’t be reckless…” Before he finished speaking, he saw An Mai getting up.
With a slight smile on her face, Anmai said, “Don’t worry, I will keep an eye on her.”
The person An Ran felt most at ease with was An Mai. After hearing what An Mai said, he felt relieved and let go of his hand.
Like a bullfight without the rope, An Linmian rushed out fiercely, followed by An Tu who shouted “Wait for me” over and over again.An Mai said to An Ran and An Xiaoyu, “You don’t have to wait for us to have lunch” and left.
Jingyu nervously looked at the backs of the three people as they left quickly, and hesitated: “Your Highness…should you send a few people to follow…”
“No need, Maizi is watching.” An Ran said first.
“But…” Jingyu wanted to say something else, but seeing An Xiaoyu’s indifference, he knew it was useless to say more, so he kept his mouth shut.
An Xiaoyu looked sideways at An Ran with a smile and asked, “Ranran, when will you take me away?”
“Now! Now! Leave now!” An Ran stood up angrily, dragging An Xiaoyu away, “Let’s go, pack your bags! We can’t live here anymore!”
“Hey!!” Ling Feng and Jing Yu were shocked. One of them grabbed An Ran’s arm, and the other blocked An Ran.
Jingyu: “Young Master! Young Master! Wait, wait!”
Ling Feng: “No, no, princess! Crown Princess! There must be a misunderstanding! Don’t go, don’t go!”
When An Ran heard the word “Crown Princess”, she became even more angry: “Who is your Crown Princess? Get up! I’ll take my wife away, as a matter of course! Are you in charge!”
With that said, he shook off Jing Yu with one hand and pushed Ling Feng away with the other.How dare Ling Feng and Jing Yu actually stop An Ran, especially in front of An Xiaoyu.An Xiaoyu, who was being pulled by An Ran, was smiling broadly and looked like she was really going to leave the East Palace with An Ran.
Ling Feng and Jing Yu were so anxious that they almost cried. They trotted next to An Xiaoyu and begged, “Your Highness, Your Highness, you can’t leave. What will your subordinates do if you leave?”
“What should I do?! What should I do if I love you?” An Ran turned around and roared, “Whoever wants to kill you, you beg to kill! Moral kidnapping is of no use to us!”
Ling Feng and Jing Yu were both seventeen or eighteen years old. They had been with An Xiaoyu for just a few years, and the East Palace had always been calm. They had never experienced any big storms. They almost burst into tears when they heard this, but they didn’t dare to stop them. They just followed them and cried: “Your Highness, Your Highness, you can’t leave your subordinates alone…”
An Ran was upset by the noise and turned around, about to have another attack, but An Xiaoyu spoke first: “Go and clean up Prince Su’s Mansion outside the palace. We will go back to Prince Su’s Mansion today.”
Compared with the East Palace located inside the palace, Prince Su’s Mansion looks very simple.Not only in terms of floor space and decoration, there are also many fewer servants.None of the eunuchs and maids who served An Xiaoyu in the East Palace came with them. Even Liu Ci was left in the East Palace by An Xiaoyu.
The steward of Prince Su’s Mansion is named Kong Yuan, a middle-aged man about forty years old.Originally, Kong Yuan was not considered a housekeeper, because Prince Su’s Mansion had been vacant all year round and had no master.Kong Yuan only looked after the house in the mansion and arranged for people to clean the mansion regularly to keep it clean and tidy. Therefore, Prince Su’s mansion did not have a housekeeper in the strict sense.
But An Xiaoyu and An Ran arrived suddenly. They said they were leaving in the morning, but they arrived at the gate of Prince Su’s Mansion before noon.An Xiaoyu clearly said that he did not want people from the East Palace. In a hurry, Kong Yuan temporarily became the housekeeper of Prince Su’s Mansion after receiving the notice, and urgently mobilized his servants to clean up the mansion and welcome the master.
When the two arrived, the house was abuzz with activity.Butler Kong and several servants hurriedly came to greet An Xiaoyu and knelt down: “Old slave, please see Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will forgive you. Time is tight and the manpower in the mansion is short, so we have tidied up the main courtyard.”
An Xiaoyu said: “It’s okay, get up. Just clear out the three rooms first. Three more people will come later.”
An Linmian, An Mai, and An Tu took An Xiaojin and ran away to unknown places. An Ran did not find them and only left a letter for them to see Prince Su’s Mansion later.
“Well.” Butler Kong replied, and after standing up, he added: “It’s just that it’s almost lunch time, but the cook in the mansion has just arrived, so lunch may be late.”
“No rush, we won’t have lunch at the mansion.” After saying that, An Xiaoyu raised his head slightly towards the carriage behind him and signaled: “I will leave the luggage of the king and the princess to you. We are going to walk around in the city. You can continue to pack.”
Hearing An Xiaoyu call a man a princess, Kong Yuan didn’t show any strangeness on his face. He just said “hey” humbly, and then ordered his servants to move the luggage into the house.
