. "What am I supposed to say Anyway, whether I'm the Princess of Beijng or the Fifth Princess... I don't care about any of that."> "Mo Yunjing's dangerous eyes narrowed slightly, staring at her like t...Seeing the second son's excited expression and listening to his questioning tone, Madam Hou, whose body was already trembling with anger, trembled even more violently.

A pair of incredibly unbelievable eyes stared intently at Xiao Jia's second brother. When had she ever been treated this way before

After snapping out of my daze, I was instantly furious. I jumped up from the chair and pointed a trembling finger at Xiao's second brother:

"You… you insolent wretch, are you questioning your own mother You… do you think I'm deceiving you Could it be that a mother like me would harm her own children"

The two brothers couldn't understand why their mother was so angry. They didn't think anything they had said was out of line.

I just want to find out about the current situation at Ye Mansion and what kind of life my little sister is living. Why would mother be so angry

The two brothers stared deeply at their mother before them, each with the look of a stranger in their eyes.

Just as the two of them didn't know how to persuade or explain, their father, Marquis Anle, appeared at the door.

Lord Anle paused at the doorway, his deep eyes scanning the chaotic scene on the ground. Then he looked at his wife and two sons, his gaze cold and sharp, yet laced with a hint of resignation.

By now, he didn't need to ask or even guess. He could understand perfectly what was happening.

He understood better than anyone what his wife was truly thinking about. Some things, in his opinion, couldn't be hidden effectively. Instead of letting the two brothers keep guessing and worrying about Xiaoqin's situation, it would be more straightforward to simply lay everything out in the open.

Thinking this way, An Le Hou walked in with a sullen face step by step.

Seeing their father finally appear, the two brothers bowed simultaneously and shouted in unison, "Father."

Lord Anle responded with a stoic hum, then glanced at Madam Hou who was trembling with anger. He walked past her and took his seat at the main position.

He let out a deep sigh, his eyes heavy as he looked at his two sons. "There's something I need to tell you both," he began. "If there's anything you want to know, just ask."

"! "

Madam Hou was obviously displeased. Hearing her husband say that, she glared at him fiercely, "My Lord, you...you promised me, you wouldn't interfere in this."

Anle Hou glanced at her indifferently, as if thinking of something, a hint of unnoticeable sarcasm in his eyes. He snorted coldly:

"Things have come to this, do you really think you can keep it from the two of them Don't treat everyone like fools. Even if you can hide it today, what happens when you need to use Ye Er as leverage They'll know eventually."

"Ca..." Madam Hou was about to speak, but Master Hou cast her a chilling glance at that moment. His eyes were deep and unfathomable like a dark pool, radiating an icy coldness that sent shivers down one's spine.

To know, Lord Anle had never looked at her with such eyes. The Madam Hou was instantly speechless, stunned for a moment, her eyes dimmed even further. Though she was indeed unwilling to accept this, she ultimately dared not speak another word of protest.

Seeing his wife finally quiet down, the marquis explained everything she had done.

The two brothers finally confirmed that everything their mother had done was exactly as they had guessed.

Neither of them had expected their own mother to be so heartless. While she was ruthless and disregarded the maternal bond with Xiao Qin, everything she did was for the sake of her two sons. This made them feel even more guilty towards Xiao Qin.

Prior to this, they had already known that their return to the capital was entirely due to their mother's machinations, who persuaded their younger sister to agree to marry Ye Er. That was why Ye Er pleaded for them before the emperor.

The emperor only agreed to recall them to the capital because of Ye Er's face.

They were already so content with the outcome, yet their mother was still unsatisfied. She then began to meddle in Xiao Qin's marriage arrangements, demanding that Ye Er secure good official positions for her two sons.

How could she say it Xiaoqin was her own flesh and blood, how could she... If Ye Er didn't follow her wishes, she would never agree for Xiaoqin to leave the Anle Hou Mansion in such a grand manner.

And these days, her mother has refused to let them contact Xiao Qin, going to great lengths to keep them from seeing her. She's afraid that if the two brothers learn the truth, they will soften their hearts and secretly team up with Xiao Qin, thus disrupting her plan to blackmail Ye Er.

These days, his mother has been waiting for Ye Er to come to the door personally. As long as Ye Er takes the initiative to propose holding a wedding ceremony, their mother will have a reason to continue to control Ye Er.

To ensure Xiao Qin leaves the Anle Marquis Mansion in a grand and smooth manner, we must first arrange their official positions for both brothers.

Their mother was suspicious that Ye Er favored their younger sister. Based on Ye Er's previous concessions, she believed that Ye Er was deeply attached to Xiao Qin and had feelings for her, which is why he dared to make demands of Ye Er so brazenly.

After the father's explanation, the two brothers finally understood the whole story.

For a moment, no one spoke. The air was thick with silence and the tension was palpable.

After an unknown amount of time, the two slowly turned to face each other. Their expressions were complex, and their eyes gradually dimmed, both revealing a hint of undisguised disappointment.

They certainly hadn't expected their mother to be so cruel to their younger sister, but at this moment, there was more frustration at their own helplessness.

After all, everything their mother had done was ultimately for the two of them. If it weren't for them, their mother wouldn't have been so cruel to Xiao Qin.

At the heart of it, they shouldn't have returned to the capital. If they hadn't come back, their mother wouldn't have repeatedly tried to control Ye Er and Xiao Qin, trying to secure more benefits for them.

Ultimately, the culprits are still those two brothers.

Lord Anle and Lady Anle looked at the two brothers who were silent, especially seeing their embarrassment and self-blame. The couple helplessly exchanged a glance.

But they wouldn't compromise on this, after all, who knows how difficult it would be to return to the capital.

A long silence fell. No one could guess what thoughts were racing through the brothers' minds. After a while, they both looked up at each other again. This time, their eyes were filled with unwavering determination.

They all understood the unspoken meaning in each other's eyes and nodded in unison. Then, they bowed their heads to Anle Hou and his wife, simultaneously saying, "Father, Mother, please forgive your unfilial son." do so.But she later discovered that her vomiting method was ineffective against Mo Yunjing!After much wrangling, An Xuetang finally resigned herself to dressing Mo Yunjing.She frowned, pursed her lip...
