Becoming the Empress: Golden Finger Set Under My Bed

Translator: Sissy That Walk

“Tell us! Don’t hold anything back.”

Hong Yu was a straight-forward person, so she couldn’t bear to see her being so hesitant.

“He said... that... a woman was kneeling outside, begging her ladyship to let her and her daughter enter the An Family...”

After saying so, she quickly lowered her head and did not dare to look at madam’s face.

Many servants went to see the woman making a scene outside, and maybe she was the last one to go there. How unlucky she was to run across madam. The girl thought to herself.

Her words gave Hong Yu a start. She looked at madam. But madam looked calm, which made her even more stunned.

“Madam, her ladyship is waiting you for breakfast...”

An Rushuang looked down and said later, “Hong Yu, what do you think if I let her replace Cui Liu?” She suddenly changed the subject.

Hong Yu looked up and down at Silver. Although she was pretty, she looked so flustered that she couldn’t be qualified to be madam’s servant. Therefore, Hong Yu said reluctantly, “She is... okay...”

“Silver, go tell mother I feel a little uncomfortable today, and I cannot have breakfast with her.” Hearing this, Silver was stunned like a stone standing still.

Rushuang kept saying, “Come to serve at Liuxi Pavilion later.”

Blinking her eyes, Silver seemed not have understood her words. Seeing this, Hong Yu kicked her and said, “You should thank madam!”

“Madam, thank you for giving me the opportunity!”

Saying so, Silver acted like a frog squatting on the ground, which made almost everyone burst into laughter.

An Rushuang did not laugh at all. She looked at Hong Yu and said while nodding her head, “Let’s go out and see what happened.”

They hurried to the front door, and saw many servants of An Family surrounding at the woman surnamed Zhang. Many neighbors were also gathering around watching.

The woman dressed in a coarse cloth knelt in front of the door, shouting and crying.

“Does Lord An really don’t want her daughter and me? I know Lady An do not allow me to enter the Family, but I won’t request for any title if his lordship accept our daughter. Does his lordship really want her to beg for life together with me on the street? She is your daughter, my lord...”

No one knew who told Zhang that Lord An was going to shut them out. Previously Lord An had agreed to take them home, but now he seemed to have changed his mind. She would not let this happen! freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Beside Zhang knelt a ten-year old girl with her head down.

When An Rushuang’s sight fell on her, she slowly raised her head, revealed a sad face and stared at An Rushuang at the doorstep with her dark eyes.

Hearing these words, Hong Yu was so angry that she couldn’t help beating them, but she was stopped by An Rushuang.

“If you beat them in front of so many people, you will fall right into their trap.”

After saying so, Rushuang turned back and walked away.

An Lingshan, the ten-year-old girl, saw Rushuang going back as if she had not seen them, which made her feel like she was a such a lowborn mud being stepped under others’ feet.

“Sister!” She suddenly stood up and walked a few steps forward, but before she reached the door, she was stopped by the family guards.

An Rushuang slowly stopped, and turned to her indifferently with her white dress slightly raised up.

“I am the only daughter in the family, and I do not have any sisters. I’m afraid you got the wrong person and perhaps the wrong place.”

Saying so and looking at that young and childish An Lingshan, she whispered to her softly, “In fact, I really like you making a scene here. Try your best to let the whole capital know you. Even if you manage to get into the An Family, you could wait and see what you will end up with!”

Seeing An Lingshan’s face with mixed emotions, she smiled and decided to leave.

“Stop there, you little vicious bitch! Don’t be so smug about yourself. I won’t talk to you. Where is Lady An? I want to see her ladyship!” Zhang shouted.

Rushuang kept a decent smile, went close to Zhang and whispered, “You want to see my mother, huh? My mother is a third-rank Lady, but who are you? A slut from some dirty brothel. How dare you ask to see my mother?”

Her voice was soft ever, but every word she said was like a sharp knife pointing straight at the heart of Zhang.

Zhang’s face was twitching, and she suddenly put off her mask of weakness.

“Little bitch! Shut up.”

She gritted her teeth and looked at An Rushuang in hatred. Such a weak and frail girl, she would not live a long life.

Thinking so, she couldn’t help to clutch Rushuang’s neck!

An Lingshan was crying and screaming at her side, trying to stop her. But she was pushed over by her mum and lied on the ground weakly.

“Mum, stop it!” If Zhang hit An Rushuang, there was definitely no turning back! f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

An Rushuang stepped backwards and looked still calm. “As I said, if you want to make a living, you can do some needlework in our house, but if you try to get money from us for doing nothing, better take your little girl with you somewhere else.”

Lowering her eyebrows, Rushuang suddenly looked around at the guards and said coldly, “What are you waiting for? She even tried to kill me after I refused her”

Before the guards did anything, Hong Yu had slapped into Zhang’s face.

Zhang rushed forward like a hungry wolf with her swollen face and messy hair. She looked totally mad.

The guards pressed her directly down to the ground. This time An Lingshan seemed to be really scared. She shed tears at the side and didn’t even dare to make a sound.

“Madam, what should we do with the woman?”

Frowning, An Rushuang sighed “If life is not too difficult for them, I think they won’t do such despicable things. Hong Yu, give them some money.”

Then, she said to the guards, “Drive them to the street and keep them off the front door! Do not bother my mother.”

Hong Yu thrusted some silver coins into An Lingshan’s hand and said angrily “Madam is merciful. Keep it. Thanks to her kindness, you are not end up in jails.”

After saying so, she went for madam.

An Lingshan looked at the figure in white going away. She stood still and held the coins so tightly that her hand hurt. She could even feel her white cheeks turning hot as if she had been slapped in the face.
