Aunt Tao was reluctant, but she couldn't deny that this was the Yuan family's territory.

  Others have already given the order to leave, and were being half-supported and half-dragged away by several robust women, it was truly impossible to linger.

  She was at her wit's end and could only wail, "Ninth Auntie, please save Fifth Master!"

  He was dragged out immediately.

  Cui Ying watched as Tao's nanny left the Taian courtyard before she let out a sigh of relief.

  She said apologetically to Auntie Joe, "Did we wake up Grandma?"

  Old Lady Qiao had been looking like she was about to split her head open with pain just a moment ago, but now she seemed spirited and full of energy.

  That doesn't mean she's an outsider.

  She couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not that, the old lady originally slept lightly and it was time to get up for lunch anyway."

  Cui Rong stared at Qiao's smiling face in shock.

  Qiao's mother and Du's mother, although both were elderly ladies-in-waiting, had vastly different temperaments.

  Yaya always smiles when she meets people, clever and smooth, the master trusts her, and the servants and maids also respect her.

  But Auntie Zhao always had a stern face, with no expression, and rarely saw her smile, as if the whole body was surrounded by the words "I am very strict, don't mess with me, strangers keep out".

  Ke Qiao's aunt just smiled at her.

  Although some are not very good-looking, maybe it's because they haven't laughed for a long time and their smile muscles have become stiff?

  But Cui Ling saw Qiao Nian's smile for the first time.

  She was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses.

  She realized that she was staring at Old Madam with her mouth agape, looking a bit silly and very impolite. She quickly came back to herself and said, "Then I'll go take a look at Grandmother and help her get up."

  The old lady's bedroom was in the eastern wing, separated from the main hall by a secondary room, which wasn't very far away.

  However, the weather has turned cold now, and the door curtains are made of thick cotton fabric hanging down, with a good sound insulation effect. If it weren't for the loud noise outside, it would be very difficult to wake up the old lady in the room.

  Cui Ling thought that Tao Nainai deliberately made a big deal out of the disturbance, perhaps she had originally intended to let Old Lady come in and intervene.

  After all, it's impossible for her, as a newlywed daughter-in-law, to rescue someone from Shi Siye's hands.

  She never thought that her foolish and easily bullied Ninth Aunt would become difficult to deal with and hard to talk to.

  A perfect plan was ruined by Qiao's ruthless intervention.

  Yuan Wuniang's headache had recurred, and the nanny sent by her maternal aunt was still urging her to go and rescue someone, which had incurred the wrath of Old Lady Yuan.

  The reason for being driven out is really too perfect.

  It's not that Madame Choi of the Anning Bo Fu doesn't have the guts to make a scene, but even if she did, she wouldn't gain anything from it.

  Even if Old Mother Tao explains it with added flavor and vinegar, would Second Lady believe her?

  Mrs. Choi was notorious for taking out her anger on others, this time even if Tao's nanny had eighteen mouths she couldn't explain herself clearly.

  It's all about gaining nothing but losing something in the process.

  Cui Ling had never harbored any malicious intentions, as a transmigrator, she had a principle that could never be crossed, which was that unless in self-defense, she would never take the initiative to harm others.

  This has nothing to do with her being a saint; she was never any kind of moral exemplar.

  It's just that she had done such dirty things in her past life, this life she only wants to live a clean and simple life, so that she can live comfortably.

  But even so, Cui Ying didn't feel sorry for the calamity that was about to befall Tao's mother.

  There's a saying from past lives: "If you don't seek death, you won't die." She felt it was very suitable for Tao Nainai.

  As for Second Aunt, the Qingguo Duke's estate didn't teach her well, and the Anning Duke's estate still indulged her. Never mind, the Muyang Duke's estate has taught her a lesson, hasn't it?

  Man proposes, God disposes; it's not that there is no retribution, but the time has not yet arrived.

  Cui Ying's mood was slightly pleasant, and her footsteps also became much lighter.

  When I entered the inner room, the old lady was already up.

  She hastily sat down beside the old lady, coquettishly saying, "Grandma, it's all my fault as a daughter-in-law for disturbing your rest."

  She paused slightly, leaned her head on the old lady's arm and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Grandma, for calling Auntie Qiao to help me out. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known what to do."

  The old lady's eyes shone slightly brighter, and the smile on her face became even more benevolent.

  She patted Cui Ying's head with the back of her hand and said softly, "In the future, if you encounter something like this again, don't even bother with pleasantries, just fight back directly. Is it worth wasting so many words?"

  Cui Ling somewhat awkwardly stuck out her tongue and said, "Mm-hmm."

  She thought for a moment, and then simply told her grandmother about Tao's intention. Then she asked, "Grandma, I sent Tao away like this, so there shouldn't be any gossip coming from Second Aunt's side, right?"

  The second aunt usually attaches great importance to her dignity. This time, the only way to quietly rescue the fifth uncle was ruined because of her non-cooperation.

  With Second Aunt's usual habit of having to report every flaw, it seems that she absolutely won't let this pass so easily.

  Cui Ling didn't worry that she would be retaliated against by her second aunt, she was a married-out daughter, the Yuan family treated her so well, what's there to worry about?

  However, in An Ning Bo's residence, there were still several of her half-brothers and sisters...

  Alright, although she's not close to them, I won't kill Bo Ren. But if because of me Bo Ren dies, and also causes trouble for my younger siblings, she would also feel guilty about it.

  She wants a perfect solution.

  It can make the second aunt shut up and doesn't want the second aunt to have a good time.

  The old lady hesitated for a moment, "There's actually such a thing."

  She thought for a moment and said, "I'll have your sister-in-law personally go to the Mu Yang Bo Fu and talk to their Madame. If your maternal fifth uncle is indeed at Shi Xiao Si's place, I will instruct that child to send him back."

  Choi Yong was somewhat surprised, "Grandma, I didn't mean for you to go and beg for mercy, I meant..."

  The old lady waved her hand gently at her, "I know, you're a good child. Refusing your mother's second aunt is also to avoid making things difficult for me."

  She hesitated for a moment, "But this matter, only if we persuade Shi Xiao Si to release the person, it would be the best solution. I am also doing this for Shi Xiao Si's future. If I don't remind Shi Tai Fu Ren, I'm afraid this child will..."

  She sighed and asked in a low voice, "About the matter of the Marquis of Moyang's estate, had you ever heard anyone mention it back when you were at your maternal home?"

  Cui Ling shook her head, looking bewildered, "What?"

  The old lady gently stroked Cui Rong's hair and said with a sigh, "I knew it, you child don't like to worry about these things."

  Her eyes were slightly dim, with a hint of regret and disappointment. "Shi Jia Xiao Si was originally the eldest son, but his father passed away early on, leaving only him and Xiao Liu as the two remaining bloodlines of the main house. Later, Marquis Mu Yang did not appoint another heir, but the second house became the master of the manor..."

  Cui Ling softly said "oh", and after a moment's thought, she had already figured out the key point.

  The eldest son of Marquis Mu Yang had already passed away, but his second son was robust and full of energy, holding the entire Marquis's estate in his grasp.

  Shi Xiao Si is the eldest son and legitimate grandson, but with the strong opposition of the second house, it's still unknown whether he can inherit the title.

  After all, although Sheng Chao has always only passed down the title to the eldest son, it is not unprecedented for the title to be passed down to the second son after the death of the first son.

  I heard that Mu Yang Bo's body has been getting worse over the past few years...

  Shi Jia Si Ye cannot afford to make mistakes at this critical moment.
