Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Empress Dowager analyzed all the problems seriously.

“At that time, will Ning Yue still choose to get married as part of the General’s Residence? Of course not. If you go back, it will be different. With your name, Ning Yue will care no matter what.”

The Empress Dowager did not explain everything clearly. With Ning Yue’s current status as a farmer’s daughter, it was impossible for her to marry into the Prince Jin’s Residence.

An Ning fell silent. She hadn’t thought about these questions.

She could tell that Jiang Ying liked the two children and Ning Yue. Ning Yue was more or less interested in Jiang Ying.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have tacitly agreed that Jiang Ying would enter and leave the house every day.

“Let me think about it,” An Ning said, frowning.

On the one hand, it was for Ning Yue. On the other hand, she really did not want to return to that sad place.

“I’m not asking you to go back. What I mean is that when you go back, you can tell the outside world that you want to go sightseeing. When the time comes, no one will say anything about you whether you’re really going out for fun or to live with Ning Yue.” The Empress Dowager felt An Ning’s heart waver a little, so she added fuel to the fire.

“In addition, there’s one more thing about your An family. The emperor suspects that the An family is an informant sent by a certain prince to the capital.”

The Empress Dowager said a piece of heavy news that shocked An Ning so much that her eyes widened.

“No, no, no. I grew up in the An family. Why didn’t I notice that the An family was in contact with any prince?”

The Empress Dowager sneered. “There are many things you don’t know. You and your sister are both pawns of the An family. It’s just that your sister is more useful to them, so they kept her until now.”

“I found out from the emperor that at that time, the An family had issued a must-kill order on you. It was your sister who hid it from the An family and gave you the medicine to fake your death, which allowed you to live. Of course, all of this was investigated recently.” The Empress Dowager was worried that An Ning would misunderstand something, so she explained further.

“In that case, I have to thank my good sister.” Thinking of the suffering she had suffered during that period, An Ning’s entire body trembled.

“Your sister didn’t want you to die so easily, so she asked you to stay. The An family doesn’t know about this. Now that the truth has been exposed, the An family should be preparing to find you.”

An Ning did not answer. She had seen some hidden hints recently, but she wanted to ignore them.

“You’re also pretending to be crazy, right?” the Empress Dowager asked.

“Yes, or she would have tortured me with even crazier tactics,” An Ning said.

“And you didn’t think to escape?” the empress dowager asked again.

“At first, I just wanted to wait for my husband and son to save me. Later, she told me that she was pregnant with Ning Zheng’s child and was going to marry him. From then on, she would tell me about their loving relationship. At that time, I almost went crazy.”

“I really didn’t want to hear it. I really wanted to run away. I’ve tried to run, but I’ve never succeeded. Every time I fail, I’ll be beaten badly. I’m afraid. In the end, I choose to pretend to be crazy. You know what happened after that.”

Hearing An Ning’s statement, the Empress Dowager sighed again.

“What do you think of my suggestion? Are you going back to the General’s Residence?” the Empress Dowager asked her.

“I-I’ll go back for Yueyue,” An Ning said firmly.

“By the way, I need to trouble you with something,” An Ning said to the Empress Dowager.

“Oh? What is it? We’re good friends. I’ll help you as long as I can.”

An Ning smiled. “I want the emperor to release An Yuan. After all, we’re sisters. If there’s anything, we can settle it privately.”

“Alright, I promise you on behalf of the Emperor. On the day you return to the General’s Residence, I’ll personally send her there,” the Empress Dowager said domineeringly.

No one else knew about the secret conversation between the Empress Dowager and An Ning.

Everyone only knew that not long after the Empress Dowager left An Ning’s room, An Ning asked to return to the General’s Residence.

Ning Yue looked shocked. “Didn’t Grandmother say that you weren’t going back? What made you change your mind?”

“Nothing. Grandmother just figured it out. I’m going to take back what I lost before I take revenge on the people who made me suffer,” An Ning said with a smile.

Ning Yue frowned. Her grandmother was not such a vengeful person. At that time, she had told Ning Feng that she did not resent them. Why had she changed in just a few days?

Ning Yue was about to say something when Jiang Ying stopped her. “Don’t persuade her. She has already decided. The only thing we can do is support Grandmother.”

Only when Jiang Ying said this did Ning Yue calm down, but she still felt that something was amiss. She secretly decided that she had to ask An Ning about it later.
