On the second day, early in the morning, even the rooster had not crowed. Hong Yu heard An Rushuang calling her.

She entered the room without making any noises. Seeing Miss An was sitting by the bed in a trance, she worried “My lady, are you feeling sick?”

Shaking her head, An Rushuang said “Did I sleep in the room all night?”

Hearing this, Hong Yu turned blank. After a while, she replied a “Yes” and considered Miss An must be scared yesterday, so she acted so weirdly.

An sighed from her bottom of the heart. She thought that it was just a dream that she woke up yesterday. But when she slept, she returned to the stable.

But this time she didn’t see the major general and didn’t know how he was.

When she woke up, she saw the gentle morning light. She couldn’t tell what was real and what was fictive at a time…

As usual, Hong Yu combed a double bun for An Rushuang, which looked young and nice on her. But the soul inside this body was never young, but quite weathered.

Seeing An Rushuang at a loss, Hong Yu couldn’t help but smile “My lady, if you keep looking into the mirror, I am afraid soon there will be a hole in the mirror by your gaze.”

Meanwhile, she took her jewelry box to An Rushuang “My lady, take a look. Which one would you like to wear today?”

Most of the jewelries were bought by her mum, so she was very familiar. But there was a ruby hairpin embellished with gold silk flowers in the box that An Rushuang had never saw before. She randomly picked it up and said “This one. I’ve never seen this hairpin before. When did mum make it for me?”

Taking the hairpin closer, Hong Yu still didn’t know where this hairpin came from.

At the same time, Cui Liu happened to come in and said “Nanny Liu brought here yesterday and she said a royal guest sent here. I see the hairpin is exquisite, so I put it into the box, but I forget to tell you, my lady.”

When speaking, Cui Liu patted on her own head.

“Who’s the distinguished guest?”

She frowned. The hairpin was pricy, but she couldn’t remember which lady came to visit and sent this hairpin.

“Second Prince sent here.”

Walking from the outside, Nanny Liu smiled brighter when she saw the hairpin in An Rushuang’s hand.

“My lady, do you like it? Second Prince visited here several days ago and brought some presents and you happened to be out. However, it was such a coincidence that you still met each other.”

Nanny Liu smilingly looked at the girl sitting in front of the dressing table. The girl had grown up, and now her body was like a sprouting willow tree, getting slender and curvy, and the chest is starting to swell slightly.

Seeing that she was shy when she came back yesterday, Nanny Liu thought the little girl must have some secret that she didn’t want to say.

Nanny Liu had worked in the An Family for a long time and she cared most about An Rushuang. If she could see her marrying a good guy, she would also feel happy.


When thinking deeply about this, Nanny Liu didn’t notice the girl’s face was turning pale.

An held the hairpin tighter and tighter as if she wanted to break it. The hairpin was edgily and her hand was soon injured and bleeding.

Seeing this, Nanny Liu was so anxious that she rushed to grab her hand. Meanwhile, Hong Yu and Cui Liu were so shocked that they stood still.

So he had started? Started his first step to manipulate her be the pawn?

She chuckled and saw her bloody hand before saying “I was deep in thought just now. It doesn’t matter. I’d like to wear this hairpin today.”

If she remembered correctly, Second Prince would come on the next day of the spring tour.

Since he wanted her to be the pawn, then she was happy to play along.

After make-up, An Rushuang was just about to visit her mum and pay morning respects when she heard muffled crying!

Feeling something strange, she waved to Hong Yu behind her and asked her not to follow.

She secretly went to the window and listened to what was happening.

“…after all she was a daughter of the An Family. What do you want? Do you really want to keep them out?”

Dad’s voice was heard. He was still gentle, but this time he seemed to be anxious.

“I won’t stop you from accepting the daughter outside. But as you just went to the capital, if you allow that brothel women into our family, I’m afraid…” said mum in a choking voice.

That woman tried her utmost to come to An Family now, but staged her own death to beat the trap when the Family fell down! How pathetic!

She was the empathetic woman An’s father could never forget.

A chill suddenly rose from her heart.

“Dad! Mum!” called An Rushuang in a lovely tone. She lowered her head to hide her frozen face and walked inside casually.

Mo Zhu, the eldest servant in the house, was waiting outside the room. She quickly reached out and stopped her “My lady, Lord An and Lady An is discussing some issues, so please wait a second!”

As she saying, she looked inside and seemed concerned.

Who could ever imagine the poor scholar who used to linger at the door of the lady saying he would only marry her now wanted to bring a woman who failed to win the lady’s recognition to his family!

The woman was said to pay this visit taking her illegitimate daughter with her, who was around the same age of An Rushuang…

An Rushuang coldly looked into the room. Separated by the white jade bead curtain, she could see a man in dark blue standing in front of a woman slightly lowering her head.

When a woman got married, she should always put her husband first. She should be gentle, virtuous, and well-behaved.

This was what An Rushuang’s mum said usually. Mum had been a perfect wife, but what had she got?

What she got was just her husband’s betrayal and her fallen authority.

Feeling as if she were choked, An Rushuang was extremely uncomfortable.
