An Xin felt more and more guilty, and her eyes were already filled with tears. She replied: "My granddaughter just woke up and heard the news that grandma had fainted. I was very worried for a while, so I came here. Grandma, are you feeling better?"
"Xin'er, don't cry! Come here and let grandma see you." Old Madam An felt very distressed when she saw An Xin's look.
An Xin listened, walked over, and then half-knelt in front of the old lady's bed.
The old lady touched Anxin's head with her hand, and a feeling of grievance and sadness surged in her heart. She started crying in front of the old lady.
An Xin cried, and the old lady felt very distressed. She said, "Xin'er, don't be sad. Grandma will give you an explanation for everything!"
An Xin raised her head with tears in her eyes and said, "Grandma, it's okay. I'm fine."
Seeing An Xin's pitiful and sensible appearance, and remembering the scene where An Rou pushed An Xin into the water, he sighed and said, "You are just too soft-hearted, and others bully you to the point of being bullied!"
This is why Madam An has always doted on An Xin.
In the eyes of outsiders, An Xin is spoiled and willful, but in the eyes of the old lady, she is a kind-hearted granddaughter. Although she has this little temper, it is reasonable, after all, she is spoiled by her.
But today she discovered that there was a poisonous snake under her nose.
That restless thing, she originally thought An Rou was sensible and well-behaved, and would give her some dowry and marry her off to a good family, but now...
After being told off by the old lady, An Xin lowered her head and said nothing.
Seeing this, the old lady sighed and said, "Get up!"
An Xin stood up and realized that she was a little rude. She said to the Second Madam: "Xin'er greets Second Aunt. I was too worried about Grandmother just now and didn't have time to greet Second Aunt. It's Xin'er's fault."
"Nothing." The second lady replied. She also felt a little distressed for An Xin.
When Anxin's biological mother was alive, she had a very good relationship with her. After she passed away, she asked me to help take care of Anxin. However, over the years, Anxin had been lukewarm towards me, and their relationship was very dull.
During this period, An Xin often came to visit her and brought some cosmetics, and the second wife became closer to her.
It was Aunt Zhang who came to bring the medicine. An Xin took the medicine bowl, picked up the spoon, blew on it, and said, "Grandma, you must take the medicine on time, so that you can get better quickly!"
Seeing An Xin being so sensible, Mrs. An couldn't help but feel relieved and said, "My heart is still good."
A maid came to report to Madam An: "Madam, the second young lady has woken up!"
Madam An snorted coldly and asked, "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at her residence?"
The maid seemed frightened and quickly replied, "Yes! After falling into the water, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the Second Miss back to Mingyue Pavilion. He took good care of her until the Imperial Physician arrived, and only left after the Second Miss woke up."
An Xin listened to the words, and there seemed to be sadness in her eyes. Old Madam An noticed An Xin's sadness, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart and said, "Go down."
"Yes." said the maid.
"Girl..." Old Madam An seemed to want to comfort An Xin.
An Xin suddenly knelt in front of the old lady.
Seeing this, the old lady asked the servants to leave and only left the second lady.
At this moment, there were only three people in the house.
"Xin'er, please get up. You just fell into the water and your body is weak." The old lady asked Anxin to get up quickly.
The second wife also said: "Yes, Xin'er, you are not feeling well, get up quickly."
"My heart is not at peace..." An Xin replied stubbornly.
Then An Xin said: "Grandmother, Second Aunt, Xin'er requests to cancel the marriage with the Crown Prince!"
"What?!" These words were like a bolt from the blue, and Mrs. An was shocked!
"Don't be angry, old lady. Let Xin girl talk first. Why would she have such an idea?" Seeing that old lady An was angry, the second lady hurried to comfort the old lady.
After a while, the two waited for Madam An to calm down. The old lady asked helplessly: "Xin girl, why do you have such an idea?"
At this time, An Xin kowtowed heavily to Madam An, then raised her head and said angrily, "Grandma, Xin'er has known since she was a child that she will marry the Crown Prince as the Crown Princess in the future. Therefore, Xin'er has been working hard and has some young girl's affection for the Crown Prince."
"But His Highness seems unable to see me. But it doesn't matter. Xin'er can learn and try her best. After all, Xin'er knows that this royal engagement is difficult to change. This concerns the reputation of the Anguo Mansion and the royal family. Xin'er can't do whatever she wants."
Then, An Xin seemed to have thought of something bad, and closed her eyes for a few years and said: "When His Highness proposed to take Sister Rou as a concubine today, I realized that His Highness really fell in love with the two sisters. But it doesn't matter, after all, they are sisters. But just now, Xin'er was pushed into the water by Sister Rou, and His Highness the Crown Prince chose to save Sister Rou at the first time, and carried her all the way to Mingyuexuan..."
An Xin raised her head and glanced at the old lady: "Only then did I realize how ridiculous my wishful thinking was!"
"But can't love be overcome? In the future, you will enter the Crown Prince's Mansion and become the Crown Princess. In the future, you will be the Queen, the mother of the country, rich and powerful, and have a prominent position. No woman in the world will be able to bully you! Do you really insist on doing this?"
Old Madam An said with regret that although she felt sorry for An Xin, the matter involved so many aspects that she had to be cautious.
Moreover, this marriage looks very good from a distance. As for An Rou, that is not a problem. Just give her some dowry and promise it to a family.
"Grandma, compared to wealth and glory, Xin'er would rather find a husband who knows how to love and care for me, just like you and grandfather!"
An Xin mentioned her grandfather, Duke An Guo.
When Duke Anguo was still a soldier in the army, he fell in love with Madam An, the eldest daughter of Duke Yingguo's Mansion, by chance. After that, he went into battle to kill enemies, accumulated merits, and was promoted to a general. He then pursued Madam An for three full years before he finally married the pearl of Duke Ying's Mansion.
Over the next few decades, the two have been inseparable until today.
When An Xin mentioned Duke Anguo, her husband who was still stationed at the frontier, Mrs. An showed rare tenderness on her face.
An Xin noticed this and took the opportunity to say: "According to the prince's temperament, he will definitely take sister Rou into the mansion. Now, sister Rou wishes I were dead. If I were to take her into the mansion, I'm afraid Xin'er would not live long. Xin'er is not afraid of trouble, but I'm afraid that my beloved will be wronged and the sisters will turn against each other!"
After that, she kowtowed and did not stand up, saying: "So, I beg grandma to cancel Xin'er's marriage with the prince! If you feel it is a little difficult, Xin'er is willing to go to a nearby nunnery to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures to pray for grandma!"
This is a good opportunity for her to break off her engagement with the prince. Success or failure depends on this one move!
