Chapter 1105 - Not Welcomed

The marchioness of the Marquis of Su’an’s Estate thumped her chest as she cried and wailed, “Yi’an, you must give your fifth brother justice! Your fifth brother cannot just die like this in vain!”

Beside her, the fifth young mistress also affectedly wiped the tears from her eyes even though she was sneering inside her heart.

This old biddy was simply being ludicrous. She really thought that Commandery Princess Yi’an would give her justice?

She dared to come begging before the commandery princess now, forgetting everything that she did to her back then? Ha, if it wasn’t because this old biddy insisted on also dragging her into the palace, then she would have long left that impoverished Marquis of Su’an’s Estate and absconded with her young paramour.

So what if Hu Youkang, that scumbag, died, and in such a scandalous way. He was found naked with the low-level maidservant from his court inside his secret room. It really made her lose all face!

She was unable to shed even a single tear for this scumbag. The fifth young mistress scoffed.

Nevertheless, she still pretended to sob on the outside, putting her all into her performance with her elderly mother-in-law.

Only after making sense of the situation did Commandery Princess Yi’an tell the marchioness of the Marquis of Su’an’s Estate calmly and distantly, “The marchioness really thinks too highly of me. With the occurrence of such a big incident, the Highest Judiciary will certainly investigate thoroughly. Yi’an is merely a girl who has not yet married, so how could I have the ability to meddle with the Highest Judiciary’s handling of this case? Will Madam please restrain your grief and wait for news at home.”

“You!” The madam of the Marquis of Su’an’s Estate glowered at Commandery Princess Yi’an. “Very good! You are completely disregarding the Marquis of Su’an’s Estate after becoming a commandery princess, right!”

The old biddy continued berating loudly, “Don’t forget! Your name is Hu Xueyin, a young lady who originated from the Marquis of Su’an’s Estate. Don’t you be unaware of even your forefather’s surname!”

At this, Yi’an clenched her fists angrily. “Will Madam please take note of your words!”

“I am your aunt and your senior. So what if I lecture you?” The old biddy reproved indignantly as she gave a hideously crooked harrumph. “If your fifth brother’s murderer isn’t caught, I won’t let you off!”

“Oh? Who don’t you want to let off!” A stern rebuke came from behind.

Commandery Princess Yi’an raised her head with reddened eyes as she frantically gave a curtsy. “Yi’an greets the queen dowager.”

The fifth young mistress jolted as she cursed this old mother-in-law to no end in her mind!

This d*mn old hag dared to yell so arrogantly even inside the palace. Great, now she even summoned the queen dowager here. Let’s see how she was going to get out of this, but don’t drag her into it!

The Marchioness of Su’an also gave a jolt before hastily putting on a sycophantic expression. She then greeted with a curtsy, “This subject pays her respects to Her Majesty the Queen Dowager.”

The queen dowager didn’t even spare the young and old duo a glance, walking straight past them to Yi’an’s side. She asked smilingly while patting her hand, “Yi’an, We heard that you went to the Eastern Palace. What is that grandson of mine doing?”

Commandery Princess Yi’an replied with a faint smile, “His Highness is busy with official business, so Yi’an left after handing over the pastries to Eunuch Xiao’xi’zi.”

The queen dowager was taken aback. After giving Commandery Princess Yi’an a glance, she remarked while shaking her head with a smile, “Indeed, this grandson of mine is exceptional, it’s just that once he gets engrossed in official business, he will neglect sleep and food and forget about everything.”

“Yi’an dared not disturb him.”

“Child, We know that you are the most sensible.” The queen dowager patted Yi’an’s hand with a smile. “Come, stroll around the royal garden with Us. We heard that they newly opened up quite a refined pond in the rear court.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Commandery Princess Yi’an smiled as she complied with a nod.
