Chapter 20: First Battle
Translator: Sissy That Walk
Her voice was soft and carried some gentleness and sadness as if there was a stream flowing by, which attracted the attention of all the people present.
Dimming her eyes, An Rushuang turned around and looked into the eyes of the girl at the doorstep.
Against the morning light, one was in lotus green and the other in plain white, as if they were two fairies in the morning mist.
However, with coldness in her eyes, the girl in lotus green stood firmly like a pine tree in the snow.
While the girl in plain white leaned on the door frame, with fine eyebrows and pretty eyes, looked so pale and thin that most people couldn’t help feeling sympathetic to her.
Feeling An Rushuang’s coldness, An Lingshan lowered her head and pretended to cough. With a sick red on her face, she said softly, “Sister, this Mummy is badly hurt. If you want to know something, just ask everyone here. Father is on his way back, and if he doesn’t see Mummy here, he may blame her again. If so, isn’t it another disaster for her?” freeweb(n)ovel.co(m)
So she was trying to stop her from sending for a doctor.
An Rushuang scoffed and looked straight at her, “It seems you do not have a good memory. I told you yesterday that I have no siblings other than my elder brother. Why are you insisting on being my sister? You are not in the position to boss around servants in An Family!”
Every word she said hit directly at her, making An Lingshan speechless with rage.
But she could do nothing. Her eyes turned red and she said in a trembling voice, “Sis... Madam, you got me wrong... I’am just worried about Mummy. Although she offended father, she doesn’t deserve death penalty. I doesn’t have the heart to watch her die...”
Saying so, she lowered her head and tears in her eyes were full of freezing hatred.
All of these luxuries you now enjoyed should be mine!
If she could have a chance, she would definitely make this vicious girl live in hell!
Since she met Second Prince at Changting Pavilion, she told herself that she would hold everything that belongs to her.
Hearing her words, people around thought she was kindhearted since they did not the whole thing, but Mummy Liu was so angry that she couldn’t help shivering. She trembled to stand up, but she was too weak to get up. Finally, she fainted on the bench.
It was her first time to see such a shameless person who could turn black into white without feeling uneasy.
An Rushuang said nothing. She just indifferently glanced at the girl as if her clear eyes could see through her.
Under her gaze, An Lingshan could not help but step backwards. After finding herself showing weakness in front of her, she felt so ashamed and resentful.
“Hong Yu, take Mummy Liu back.” Said An Rushuang without any emotion.
Hong Yu responded directly and scolded the servants aside, “What are you waititng for? Can’t you hear what Madam said?” At this time, no one dared to disobey Madam.
Two servants then took the bench which Mummy Liu lied onand went forward carefully.
Just as they came to the doorstep, a yell was heard “How dare you take her away!”
Looking at the sky, An Rushuang found it was already bright. An Yipei just came back from morning work.
Glancing at An Lingshan, Rushuang did find some excitement on her face. So their previous talk was just buying more time for Lord An to come to her rescue.
After a while, a man in dark working clothes came out from the rockery and looked extremely serious.
An Rushuang greeted him in courtesy and before she called out “father”, she saw An Lingshan moving to An Yipei quickly.
“Lord An, do not blame Madam! Mummy Liu could not stand the punishment and Madam is so worried about Mummy Liu that she wanted to take her back. If your lordship really wants to blame anyone, then blame me!”
“It’s all my fault. If I did not come to the capital, these things would not happen at all. this Mummy nearly lost her life because of me and now others find me annoying.”
Just as she stopped speaking, she covered her face and choked with tears in her eyes. Scattered hair fell on her white skirt, making her even pitiful.
An Rushuang had seen her like this for so many times that she already got used to that.
If she was given a script, she could be the leading actress. It was indeed a waste of talent for her to cry in front of these people.
“How could I blame you? It was the shameful servant who deceived everyone. She deserves that!” Saying so, An Yipei frowned tightly, feeling guiltier about his illegitimate daughter.
Suddenly he realized something and said, “What did you call me?”
Hearing this, An Lingshang burst into tears immediately. She lowered her head, with tears falling onto the green bricks.
“Madam said... she does not have any sister and I am just an ordinary person. I should not dream to enter the An Family...”
Saying so, she suddenly knelt down.
