Aunt Zhao's position in the estate was once again restored. That night, An Shucheng stayed in her courtyard.
This was a trick of Aunt Zhao, she had no choice but to accept it.
And the medicine Anxia bought came in handy.
In her hands, these medicines were both antidotes and poisons. It all depended on how she was going to use them.
However, there was no doubt that the medicine left behind by the palace maid was poison. As long as An Xia wiped it all over her face, even the deities wouldn't be able to save her.
An Xia had brought the medicine with him, and he also had to concoct the medicine himself.
Her face was already ruined, so Aunt Zhao didn't try to scheme against her anymore, because Aunt Zhao had already begun to make arrangements for her daughter to replace An Xia. She had done so much just so that she could replace Madam An and her daughter could replace An Xia.
As for the disfigured An Xia, no one cared about her. She was only in her own courtyard and wouldn't come out to eat. Only Madam An came to visit her every day.
An Si, who was being grounded, had people scout her every day. She had been in a good show with Aunt Zhao, so of course she knew what the consequences would be. Now, she couldn't help but look at An Xia's face.
Madam An did not think too much into it. At this moment, she was testing on An Xia's clothes. "Tomorrow, the banquet at the Duke's Mansion will begin. You should be careful as to how you think …" He had a hesitant look on his face.
"Mom, you have to be careful." An Xia sighed.
She knew that if she couldn't get Madame Zhao and An Si to leave the Residence of An, then with Madam An's personality, they would kill her sooner or later.
And he couldn't stay in the manor forever.
The engagement with the crown prince was getting closer and closer. It was also because of this that her days were so difficult, causing the mother and daughter pair to be so crazy.
Madam An shook her head. "I can't win against them. At most … "Give this position to her."
"Even if you give up this spot, they won't let you go." An Xia was somewhat vexed. She never thought that her mother would be so timid. No wonder her main body was cowardly and incompetent.
However, since she had come, she definitely wouldn't let Aunt Zhao and her daughter have it easy!
Ansi's forbidden foot was no longer a rule when it came to attending the banquet. Madame Zhao had long since started pretending to be An Xin. She had even used up all her energy in order to make An Xin perform well in front of her daughter.
She thought that since An Xia's face was ruined, she wouldn't participate in this banquet again, so she wanted An Xin to clarify everything that had happened outside the mansion that day, and then put the matter of her elopement back on An Xia's head.
In front of the courtyard, An Xia was wearing a simple, plain, long, white dress. Her long, sleek hair hung down to her back, and the tassels on her head flickered with a faint light as she walked. Her face, which had been scratched by a cat, was as white as jade.
"How is this possible …" Aunt Zhao's expression changed drastically. Her mouth was half open and a trace of hatred could be seen in her eyes. Everything she had planned seemed to have been in vain.
"Eldest young mistress …" Anse was also rather surprised. "Your face has recovered?"
His face was filled with disbelief, and his tone was filled with deep unwillingness.
"What is it? isn't second sister congratulating me? " An Xia revealed a smile with a hint of disdain in her eyes. "This is all thanks to the palace's medicine girl."
Ansi and Madame Zhao looked at each other, their eyes full of annoyance, but they could only hide it.
"How is this possible …" Ansi still couldn't believe that even though she had meticulously dressed up, she couldn't compare to An Xia in white.
The jade pendant on An Xia's waist added a touch of elegance to it, it could even cover up An Xia's mediocre talent.
"Second sister, are you saying that my face should be restored to its original state?" An Xia looked at An Xin with an aggressive expression. Beside her, An Shucheng also narrowed his eyes at Aunt Zhao, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
He was also very conflicted. Once An Xia's face was ruined, he would do everything he could to help An Xin. He didn't expect this Madame Zhao to be so scheming and scheming.
He suddenly felt that his eldest daughter, An Xia, was not simple, as if he had overlooked something.
Hearing An Xia's words, Aunt Zhao's expression changed drastically. These words were too targeted, and it just so happened that An Xia's words were so harmless.
What made Aunt Zhao even more furious was that An Xia's face hadn't been ruined. It had to be said that this was a rare opportunity. She really didn't understand what was going on with that girl in the palace. Her skin had actually become even smoother, like fine milk porcelain.
It was really infuriating.
However, An Shucheng didn't say anything. He was well aware of how suspicious the backyard was. He just didn't want to interfere.
An Si's complexion turned pale after being robbed by An Xia. He didn't know what to say.
"Elder sister Xia, what are you saying? Elder sister Si thinks that your elder sister Xia is even more beautiful. It's unbelievable how beautiful she is." She didn't know what An Shucheng was thinking, so she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
After all, having failed to kill An Xia twice in a row had left her with some lingering fear.
This is the house, and I'm your eldest sister, so I won't argue with you. If we enter the palace, then no matter who it is, no matter who it is that dares to speak against, they will end up in the same situation. When the time comes, the Residence of Peace will suffer as well. An Xia spoke very casually.
The meaning behind his words caused An Shu's heart to sink as he began to ponder carefully.
This was indeed not a small matter. The palace was not comparable to the manor. If one was wrong, it might be the execution of all nine clans.
After saying this, An Xia and Red Leaf turned around and boarded the carriage.
An Xin's face was ashen. She hadn't expected An Si to say something like this. It was really too poisonous. Even Aunt Zhao was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, but there was nothing she could say.
An Shucheng gave Aunt Zhao a glare before flinging his sleeves and leaving as well.
It was a disappointment that made Aunt Zhao's heart sink, inch by inch.
"Remember, don't speak carelessly. This slut An Xia is getting smarter and smarter." Aunt Zhao gave Ansi a few more words of advice. Suddenly, she felt a bit worried. Her daughter couldn't beat An Xia at all.
Madam An and An Xia had both kept a low profile over the years. However, a bottle of Red Crane Head's wine hadn't been able to kill her last time, allowing her to reverse the situation step by step.
