Everyone had to let down their guard at some point. She would definitely be able to get An Jiuyue here once Qian Jiyun’s men let down their guard.
Yan Nuo and Yan Qin’s protection of An Jiuyue this time demonstrated how important she was to Qian Jiyun.
Xue Yingyue thought of this, but Ling Er did not.
She could not help but think that Old Madam thought too highly of that woman when she heard she wanted to plot against An Jiuyue and had devised several ways to do so.
“Old Madam, what if the Prince arranged for An Jiuyue to enter the residence intentionally to confuse us? Perhaps she isn’t very useful, let alone attractive to him.”
She had always felt that Qian Jiyun must be up to something if he suddenly brought a woman into the residence.
There were many ladies in the capital who were more beautiful, gentle, and graceful than An Jiuyue. Why did he have to bring back a woman from the countryside?
Although she was rather good-looking, her reputation was not good.
If An Jiuyue became the princess consort, outsiders would call her a bumpkin who crept out of the countryside, accusing her of lacking both learning and skill on a daily basis.
Ling Er believed Qian Jiyun would not be so kind as to allow a woman like her to ruin his reputation.
Hence, she always felt that An Jiuyue might just be a chess piece on Qian Jiyun’s chessboard. Moreover, she was a chess piece that could be thrown out at any time. There was nothing to be afraid of.
“What do you know?” Xue Yingyue rolled her eyes at Ling Er and scolded her.
If An Jiuyue was useless and merely a chess piece, would Yan Nuo and Yan Qin listen to her?
Some things could not be accomplished by putting on a show. She had eyes and ears to observe. She was no fool, no matter how hard Qian Jiyun tried to fool her.
“Keep an eye on those two little things too. We have to catch them,” she urged.
Although An Jiuyue was important, the two children were even more important. She had a feeling that they were the same children she had ordered to be thrown out.
However, she was unsure if they were lucky enough to survive and be rescued.
“Yes, Old Madam. I understand,” Ling Er replied.
She was not the one keeping an eye on the two children, but she would keep watch too.
She also felt that the two little ones had crucial roles to play, but she did not know exactly what they were for. She could only guess that they should be related to Old Madam.
…
After An Jiuyue returned to Qiongzhi Courtyard, Qian Jiyun learned about what had happened from Yan Nuo and Yan Qin. His gaze sharpened as he exuded an aura of hostility before quickly suppressing it.
He turned to look at An Jiuyue and asked softly, “Did they hurt you?”
“No. What can they do to me?” An Jiuyue chuckled and glanced at Yan Nuo and Yan Qin.
In fact, if they hadn’t arrived in time, I would’ve gone to Xue Yingyue’s place to take a look. Unfortunately, my lovely wish was not granted.
“Mother, does the lotus lantern I made for you look good?”
Qian Yizheng asked softly, handing his mother a somewhat unsightly black lotus lantern with golden edges.
