No matter how unreasonable the mistake dad made today was, it should not be mom who objected his proposal.

But dad was being indeed ridiculous, so did An Lingshan. She had not officially been accepted by the An Family yet; how could she be introduced as one of the Ans in public?

If An Lingshan really went to the banquet, wouldn’t the An Family be dishonored? Had dad cared about how mom would feel?

In the previous life, An Rushuang never thought her dad showed too much favor towards An Lingshan. Did her rebirth change a lot of things?

Thinking so, An Rushuang could not help being furious. But strange enough, when her anger rose to a tipping point, she began to smile calmly as if An Yipei was telling a joke.

An Rushuang slightly lowered her body and said slowly, “Dad, I agree with mum.”

Hearing this, An Yipei hummed coldly, his face turning dark, “Oh? So you don’t want to recognize you sister, are you?”

Saying so, An Yipei couldn’t help feeling angry at her. Rushuang was always obedient and sensible. How could she be like this? It must be her mum’s fault…

“Dad, calm down. Sister did not mean that. Many people will attend the flower banquet and they will talk and judge. I’d better not go there…”

Saying so, An Lingshan silently laughed at An Rushuang in her heart and pretended to be obedient, trying her best to sound more pitiful, which made An Yipei even angrier.

His little daughter who grew up in the countryside could be so considerate, but this time Rushuang went too far… Apparently Rushuang was being spoiled too much.

An Rushuang looked at An Yipei and then turned to An Lingshan. She laughed out.

“Why are you laughing?”

An Yipei was so mad that he directly dropped the tea cup and made a table of mess. Mo Zhu immediately came forward and knelt down, “Your lords.h.i.+p, calm down please.” Saying so, she helped to clean the table.

An Rushuang, however, continued to laugh, “Because dad, you are wrong at the very beginning and now you lost your temper at us. How funny it is!”

An Yipei scoffed coldly at her, “I’m wrong? Then tell me what I have done wrong!”

“Dad, you made three mistakes. First, if dad really cares sister, you won’t let her go. Lingshan drowned in the river today and she needs rest. But you ask her to attend the noisy banquet. I a.s.sume it was all because of filial piety that Lingshan agreed to attend the event.”

Hearing this, An Yipei turned around and stared at An Rushuang, but she did not seem to fear him. Instead, with her slightly curved black eyes, she smiled elegantly at An Yipei.

“Second, dad, think about it. Why did sister jump into the river? It was because of her mother. She nearly lost her beloved mum and now you ask her to attend the banquet for fun on the second day. Even those who only have a tiny bit of conscience would feel guilty, let alone Lingshan who always prioritized filial piety and gratefulness. If she go there tomorrow, chances are that others would regard her as ungrateful and un-filial. Rumors as such would kill her.”

At this time, An Yipei already felt regretful but he didn’t say it out, “So, what is the third mistake?”

An Rushuang turned serious and said in a distressed voice, “Third, dad, you should not have lost your temper. If dad felt unwell because of this, I would feel guilty…”

Saying so, An Rushuang paid a respect to Lord An.

Taking a sigh of relief, An Yipei looked at Rushuang in lotus green dress, as graceful as a fairy. He couldn’t help feeling proud of her, but at the same time, he turned to An Lingshan, thinking Rushuang was right, but Lingshan…

Feeling that An Yipei’s att.i.tude had changed, An Rushang turned to An Lingshan and said, “I suppose sister didn’t mention about going for the banquet yourself. Lingshan, but you should bear in mind what you should do and what you should not do. Dad allows you to attend the flower banquet due to his goodwill. But if you feel unwell, it was no less than wasting father’s kind regards.”

Hearing this, An Lingshan turned pale and immediately knelt down, “Dad, I didn’t mean it. I was so glad that dad could care me and value me. I got carried away by the happiness and I forgot…”

Saying so, An Lingshan looked down at the ground, staring at the green bricks with great anger and tightly clenching her teeth.

But An Rushuang was going to meet the Second Prince at the flower banquet tomorrow who was very handsome and a lot of ladies in the capital fell for him. The Second Prince had visited the An Family several times after father was promoted to the capital. An Rushuang would definitely suffer a setback tomorrow!

Thinking so, An Lingshan felt much more balanced.

After a long while, An Lingshan said, “Sister, you are right. Mum was still sick and I should keep her company. Previously I was always on my own, but now I have you by my side, and I’ll always be with you and we can support each other.”

“Although dad allows me to attend the Princess’s banquet, I do not have an ident.i.ty and I have no idea about the royal rituals. It’s indeed inappropriate for me to attend the event, otherwise I might disgrace dad. Therefore, I’d better stay at home and look after mum. We still have time in the future.”

An Lingshan said in such a logical and flawless way that An Yipei not only dispelled his skepticism but also felt sorry for her.

An Yipei showed an approval look and nodded, “Lingshan, good girl! It’s all dad’s fault. Ok, forget about it.”

An Lingshan slightly frowned, but she quickly turned a smiling face and thanked An Yipei, perfectly hiding her displeasure.

An Yipei continued saying, “Rushuang, remember to behave elegantly with modesty. We’ve just settled down in the capital. Be careful not to offend the officials.”

“I’ll keep it in mind, dad.” Replied An Rushaung obediently.

However, An Rushuang thought in heart that she would definitely play some tricks. As for whether she would offend someone, she could not make a promise.
