“Daddy, shall we accept his visit and see him? When I’m out yesterday, he saved me from dangers. So I’d like to thank him for his kindness!”
Hearing this, Lady An became worried and immediately asked her if she was injured.
Shaking her head, she said smilingly “Nothing serious. My horse just got frightened yesterday in front of the Peach Temple. Thanks to the Second Prince, I’m fine.”
Hearing this, Lady An was confused and wondered “Second Prince? The Peach Temple is a place where people come to pray for child bearing. Why Second Prince went there? And the Temple and his place are in the opposite direction…”
She gradually fathomed what truly happened and looked concerned.
Looking at his daughter’s innocent eyes and blushing cheeks, An Yipei couldn’t help but feel fearful about the Second Prince’s scheme.
He didn’t find a way out from the lord and he went so far as to aim at little Shuang!
An Yipei didn’t dare to think deeper. He coldly said “Showing gratitude to a man is something dad and mum would do. You are still young and as a girl, how could you show your face in front of a man?”
Hearing Lord An’s tone, she pretended to feel disappointed, but she was actually very satisfied with her successful trick.
“Go back to your Liuxi Pavilion and do not step out of your room today.”
An Rushuang replied in a sad voice and left obediently. However, slyness could be seen in her eyes.
Mo Zhu sent her to Liuxi Pavilion, but Hong Yu was asked to answer some questions.
In terms of the questions, An Rushuang was quite clear, so she kept smiling all the way.
Half an hour later, Hong Yu came back and saw An Rushaung sitting on a flower-carved chair staring at her “How things went?”
Looking at An’s clear eyes, Hong Yu suddenly felt nervous and said in stumbling words “I…I said exactly what ma…madam told…me!”
Hong Yu found madam seemed to be a changed person, but looking closely, she was still the madam.
She had no idea why madam told her to say that. If words got out, it would be bad for madam’s reputation. However, as she just told Lord and Lady, she could be rest assured.
An Rushaung had wanted to scare Hong Yu by saying something coldly, but seeing her being so nervous as if there were enemies in front of her, she couldn’t help but laugh out.
She trusted Hong Yu. Maybe she was a little slow, but it was true that she would never betray her, even when she was reduced to the worst circumstances.
An could still remember the time when Hong Yu stood in front of her and was pierced by Zhu Han’s arrow into her heart…
There was a vendetta between her and Zhu Han. She would like to see him pay for the thirty four lives in An Family.
“Where are you from? What are you doing here?” said Mammy Liu from the outside.
Soon Mammy Liu carried a little servant girl coming in. The girl looked pretty, but she was so gutless that she even shivered like a little chick in front of other’s staring.
Mammy Liu threw her onto the ground and said coldly “I was just passing by the garden and I saw her sneaking around at the window!”
Hearing this, An Rushuang frowned and she didn’t want to say anything more, so she turned to Hong Yu and said “Hong Yu, what should we do when faced with minions like her?”
Although Hong Yu was blunt at temper, she was actually soft inside. Therefore, when thinking of the rules, she turned pale and after a while, she said slowly “Minions like her should be sold out…”
“Fine. Then we should follow the rules. Hong Yu, you shall see to it.” said An calmly.
Hearing her words, Mammy Liu was surprised as An was always good-tempered and how come she was now angry! But there was no point keeping this servant girl who must be a trouble later. Thinking of this, Mammy Liu didn’t say anything.
The servant girl shuddered and quickly kowtowed to An Rushuang, regardless of her bruised and bleeding forehead.
“Madam, I am innocent! I just saw Cui Liu lingered there. I didn’t expect to be caught when I just came over! I didn’t hear anything! Please madam, please do not to sell me out!”
She was kneeling on the floor, crying with tears. The brothel keeper of Yihongyuan had nearly bought her last time, but because she was lucky to be firstly picked by the An Family thus avoided being a prostitute. If she was sold out, she would not escape this misery!
An Rushuang slowly stood up and asked coldly “What did you say? Who lingered at the window?”
…
When Cuiliu was called in, she was still thinking of the food in the pot. She was a great cook. When she was in Mohe, she used to serve on the Old Lady. Later she was assigned to the madam. She made food and snacks from time to time, and madam also appreciated her.
However, she was not as down-to-earth as Hong Yu was. After another two years, she would arrive at the age of marriage, and where should she go then? Wait until she could be assigned to married a random guy or be a servant girl accompanying her madam to her future husband’s home?
She couldn’t bear this!
Every time she thought of this, it was like virus spreading across her body making her crazy…
Cui Liu smilingly came into the house and put the food box on the table in which was a plate of delicious osmanthus cake.
“Madam, please enjoy it. This osmanthus cake has just been out of the pan. And it won’t taste good when it turns cold!”
An Rushuang chuckled and picked up one piece with her soft fingers, but she didn’t eat. Instead, she stared directly at Cui Liu.
Being stared like this, Cui Liu couldn’t help stepping backwards and smiled constrainedly “Madam, why are you looking at me? I cannot fill your belly…”
“Why not? Isn’t there a saying that beauty is enough to feast the eyes?”
Cui Liu was indeed beautiful. Her delicate oval-shaped face was rosy pink; a pair of apricot-shaped eyes was like rippling with water waves; her waist was as soft as a willow in March and when she smiled, a row of lovely teeth revealed…
“Madam, I’m flattered. Do not make fun of me…”
An Rushuang chuckled and laughed with some mockery.
“There are guests coming today and you don’t have to serve here. Make some pastries and serve them. You cook the best in the whole An Family.”
As her voice just fell, Cui Liu was so excited and her beautiful face looked even brightened.
“Yes! I will make it right now!”
When she went away, two people walked out behind the screen.
