“An’er, are you still blaming us?” The old woman wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, but her tears could not be stopped. She wanted to say more, but she did not know where to start and could only sigh deeply.

The sensible old servants had long dismissed everyone in the distance so that they could talk at ease.

The old Duchess couldn’t say anything, so she used her elbow to prod Duke An, wanting him to say something.

Unexpectedly, when she looked over, she realized that Duke An was staring fixedly at Old man Wang, as if he wanted to bore a hole through him with his gaze.

“Ahem!” The old Duchess coughed.

Only then did Duke An retract his gaze and look at Old Madam Wang. He hummed in a deep voice and said, “How did you know that we were looking for you?”

He had asked someone to pretend to be a robber and bring them over in the form of a kidnapping. However, someone came to report in advance that his daughter had recognized them at a glance.

This was not the first time his subordinates had acted as robbers. It was definitely not that they did not act well. It could only be that their daughter was smart.

It was up to him.

“Lord Duke, if you have something to say, why don’t you say it directly? We’re not young anymore, so there’s no need to waste our time here. I’m still in a hurry to go home to see the children.” As she spoke, Old Madam Wang continued, “Us ordinary families value children the most.”

As for how she could tell, was there a need to ask?

She had spent a lot of effort on the series of matters in Hu Family Village. Later on, the people sent by Empress Qin arrived and cooperated with her command to wipe out that group of people once and for all.

Empress Qin’s people basically stayed there to wrap things up. The remaining people were escorted to the nearest garrison one after another without alerting the villagers.

However, the few guards Qin Huai had left behind to protect the Wang Family were still around. When the bandits appeared, the guards hiding in the dark did not move, which was enough to explain the problem.

Moreover, the robbers spoke with an official accent unique to Wanning City, and their movements still contained some of their military aura. The small patterned accessories that Duke An Manor had used for decades was still around. It did not take much brainpower to guess their identities.

However, Old Madam Wang was not in the mood to argue with them.

Old Madam Wang knew that once she returned to Wanning City, it was only a matter of time before her identity was discovered. But from the looks of it, it had not been a day or two since they found out, but they still had to hide it like this.

The deeper meaning was self-evident. It was nothing more than wanting to stop something.

Duke An and the old Duchess looked at each other and instantly understood that their daughter still had a grudge against them, and it was quite serious.

“Child, it was Mother who didn’t do well back then and didn’t take into account your feelings.” It was the old Duchess who spoke again. “You didn’t want to go home, and you never gave us any news. All these years, Mother has been sending people to look for you. Are you doing well?”

“Whether I’m well or not, didn’t you investigate it clearly?” Old Madam Wang revealed a mocking expression. “If you hadn’t thoroughly looked into my background, you probably wouldn’t dare to show up here, fearing that 1 might be someone behind the scenes orchestrating a charade. Either to plunder your wealth or your lives. Indeed, such practices are common among high-ranking families, you should already be used to it.”

“Bang!”

Duke An slapped the table. The table did not move at all, and his eyebrows twitched in pain.

However, he still held it in in the end. His white beard trembled. “When did you learn to speak like a country woman? How sarcastic and vulgar!”

“Your words are mistaken, Lord Duke. When you mention ‘country woman’, are you referring to the wives and mothers who sustain the lives of countless people in Great Chang, or the mothers who support thousands of students from humble backgrounds? If you consider this as crude and vulgar, perhaps you should take a stroll through the streets of Wanning City and shake the doors of those high-ranking families. Let’s see if the stench and decay you shake loose are any worse than what you find in the homes of us ‘country women’!”

Duke An was so angry that he almost fainted. “You!”

He pointed at Old Madam Wang and turned to look at Old man Wang. “It’s you, dog, who led my good daughter astray!”

With that, he lowered his head. His movements were actually quite agile. He took off his long boots and threw them at Old man Wang.

Bang! It hit his head.

Old man Wang looked up in confusion..
