An Xia stood outside the Residence of An, clenching her fist tightly. She didn't think that this man would actually throw her here. Was he sending her home without disturbing anyone?
Damn it!
Right now, she had to find a way to return to her residence.
People were passing by on the street, but they were all talking about how the young mistress of the An clan had eloped with someone else.
This Madame Zhao was really vicious. She had poisoned the main culprit to death and now wanted to ruin her reputation.
An Xia stood at the Residence of An, not leaving for a long time. Very soon, her presence attracted the attention of the crowd. After all, An Xia was dressed in brocade, making it difficult for people to ignore her.
"Isn't this Miss An? Didn't you say that you ran away with someone else … "
"That's right, the servants in the mansion spread the word. Half of the people in the Royal Capital already know about it. Right now, all the tea houses in the city are all discussing about it."
"I really didn't know that a lady from a noble family could do such a despicable thing …"
Everyone kept talking and talking, which was extremely unpleasant to hear. An Xia only lowered his head and remained unmoved, as if he was a coward.
This attracted more and more onlookers. The streets outside the residence were blocked off, and they were pointing at her while discussing.
Grand Preceptor An's face was rather unsightly, while Madam An found it difficult to sit still. "Old master, there must have been a misunderstanding. Little Xia has always been timid, so how could he do such a thing …"
His hands were clenched into fists as he glanced at his wife beside him. He then turned to An Shucheng and said, "Yes, master, there must be some kind of misunderstanding. The person outside the mansion is definitely not the Eldest Miss."
The old face of An Shucheng darkened even further as he glared at Madam An, his eyes filled with loathing.
He then turned to look at Aunt Zhao. "Send everyone out of the manor, the Residence of Prime Minister is about to lose all its face."
Madam An was a little anxious and wanted to say something, but she was glared at by An Shucheng. She could only obediently sit back down and not say a word.
He wondered if An Xia was still in the backyard. If she was, Madam An would be able to relax a little. If she wasn't, she wouldn't be able to continue living.
The outside of the Prime Minister's Estate was packed with people, all of them staring at An Xia. An Xia, on the other hand, had a faint expression on her face as she stood there with her head lowered.
Indeed, not long after, the gates were pushed open, and Madame Zhao and a group of servants walked out. Currently, Madame Zhao was acting arrogantly like a lady. The woman next to her opened her mouth and asked, "Who dares to cause trouble in front of the Grand Preceptor's estate?"
Mother, why did you only just come out? Your daughter doesn't have the face to see you anymore, wuu …
Her actions were extremely quick, causing the servants who were prepared to come and take her away to be stunned.
She threw herself into Aunt Zhao's arms and pressed the hairpin she had held in her hand against her heart. As she did so, she whispered into her ear, "If you don't want to die, then cooperate obediently. Otherwise, don't think about getting away."
Aunt Zhao originally had a look of disdain on her face as she prepared to kick An Xia away. But now, her back felt a chill as she stood there stiffly, not daring to move. She stared at An Xia in disbelief. "What do you want?"
"Not much? If you force me to a dead end, don't blame me for being merciless. " An Xia was still in Aunt Zhao's arms. In the eyes of an outsider, they were actually a mother and daughter pair.
The surrounding discussions started again, but the voices were not loud.
"Butler, help Eldest Miss return to the estate …" Aunt Zhao's eyes darted around as she ordered loudly.
"Mother, wait a moment." Su Xia knew this woman was hard to deal with and quickly said loudly, "Will mother let me go back? I've done such a disgraceful thing? "
Su Xia emphasized the words' mother 'and' mother ', and everyone present clearly heard what he said.
In the imperial city, who didn't know that the Residence of An had two daughters?
At the beginning, when An Xia called out 'Madame Zhao', people only thought that the person who came out was Madam An. But now, it seemed that it was actually an imperial concubine. Thus, they automatically imagined An Xia's identity.
"What a disgrace. A bastard is a disgrace …"
"That's right. Even Madam An didn't appear. How can I let such a person return to the manor? He should be soaking in a pig cage …"
"It looks like the rumors were wrong. It wasn't that the young lady of the Residence of An eloped with someone, but that the second young miss of the Residence of An was so shameless …"
Aunt Zhao still wanted to say something, but An Xia's hairpin was too strong, causing her heart to ache. She didn't dare to move recklessly; she was cunning, but she valued her life greatly.
It was too late to turn the tables around.
He was vexed and angered to the point that his face turned pale.
"Mom, dad loves you the most, so you must beg dad. Your daughter is ignorant, and Young Master Zhao is heartless. There will never be a next time!" An Xia cried as she spoke, her voice was neither loud nor low, but the people outside could hear her clearly.
Not long after that, the news that the second young miss of the An clan had eloped and gone to the capital to wail and wail had spread throughout the Imperial City, and there were even people who were righting An Xia's name for her.
"Yes!" Aunt Zhao gnashed her teeth as she glared at Madame Li. Madame Li also looked as if she had seen a ghost. She didn't dare to breathe too loudly, as she had long been in a state of confusion.
She had personally fed An Xia the Red Crane Head and watched as her servants carried her out of the Residence of Tranquil East.
Now that she was standing here alive and well, of course she would be afraid. Thus, her usually sharp tongue was no longer willing to listen to her commands.
"The Residence of Peace doesn't have a daughter like you …" Aunt Zhao felt her head hurt. She couldn't ruin her daughter's reputation like this, so she had to turn the tables. As she spoke, she raised her hand to give An Xia a slap …
