But now An Rushuang kept crying, making up for the tears she owed to her besties at that time. She didn’t stop until the whole handkerchief got wet.
Looking at her blankly, both girls were frightened.
“Well... how about... we visit you every two days? I cannot come every day. Even my grandmother has not enjoyed such treatment.” 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m
Looking at An Rushuang, Lu Mingyue did feel a little fearful. She didn’t even dare to raise her voice in case An would be frightened.
Mingyue started to learn martial arts since her childhood and she was proficient in playing with her whip. But now her intended soft voice was indeed amusing and the other two couldn’t help laughing.
Seeing An Rushuang smiling, Xianxian finally took a sigh of relief. She reached out and slightly pinched her arm, “Our little An has just been in the capital for several days and become a tear beauty.”
An Rushuang knew that they were joking, so she didn’t take it seriously. Instead, she hugged them into the arms.
Fortunately, they were still safe and sound! Fortunately, their life was not ruined because of her.
Looking at each other, Xianxian and Mingyue also reached out to hug her. When they came, they heard something about the other woman, but they were not sure about it. Now it looked like that was true.
“Hey, you need to know that most men in the world are like this. In fact, Uncle An could be worse...” Saying so, Xianxian slightly smiled. The indifference on her little face was inappropriate for a girl at her age.
“My father has three concubines in the family. And she is only a daughter of a concubine. She won’t pose a threat to you.”
Lu Mingyue agreed, “Yeah, she’s just a concubine’s daughter, no need... ” Saying so, she suddenly remembered that Xianxian was also born by a concubine. It was as if words were stuck in her throat and she felt really embarrassed.
A concubine’s daughter.
An Rushuang suddenly recalled that when Xianxian was married, she was sparing no effort to help Zhu Han to take the throne. On the day of Xianxian’s marriage, Zhu Han asked her to visit the Crown Princess and present the so-called ‘Excellent Elixer’. So she didn’t have a chance to see Xianxian on the very day.
Later when An became the Princess, they didn’t contact as frequently as they did. Mingyue would sometimes visit her while Xianxian didn’t visit for a single time.
She heard that Xianxian had a bad marriage. The lady of Lu Family was really mean to her. For the sake of betrothal gifts, she married Xianxian to a merchant.
That merchant later spent a huge sum of money to be a petty official in the government. And he was such a dissolute man that his concubines could even stay in a queue. Therefore, Xianxian would not attend any of the parties held in the capital.
The next time when An Rushuang saw Xianxian, An had fallen into distress. At that time, all the other people wanted to stay out of the fray, but Xianxian appeared.
The first person she felt sorry to was Xianxian.
An Rushuang silently vowed in her heart that in this life she would definitely find a good man for her, and saw her get married and live without worries.
She smiledand said, “In fact, there is no difference between the Lady’s daughter and a concubine’s daughter. No one can choose their birth mother. We only need to live our own lives.”
An Rushuang felt so worried about her mother at that time that she even forget about herself.
When that hypocritic woman came to the An Family, An Rushuang was indeed kind to the woman’s daughter, An Lingshan, apart from the fact that she didn’t like her mother. But she didn’t expect that An Lingshan was just a well-disguised girl who was so proficient at scheming that her plot could destroy the An Family.
Xianxian smiled, but she didn’t say anything. She knew the difficulty of being a concubine’s daughter. She felt a little warm inside, but she didn’t think deeper. They were both unmarried. An also had a lot of troubles in her family. What could An do to help her?
Even the carefree Mingyue became silent. How difficult it was to live their own lives?
After a while, she gave a hollow laugh and said, “Never mind. I heard that Second Prince visit you several times recently!”
She pressed the red-eyed An Rushuang onto the carved chair behind her and smiled, “You don’t know how jealous those madams are. They don’t dare to bother you. But we are miserable and everyday hundreds of people come to ask us!”
Covering her mouth, Xianxian smiled and said, “That’s true. Look! These are all the invitations they sent us.” Saying so, she waved to Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi was the servant girl of Zhu Xianxian. She was also a very delicate and gentle woman with a oval face. Although she was around seventeen, she was very mature.
An Rushuang usually saw her at Mohe. She used to wear dark blue clothes a few years ago. She looked mild but very depressed and lifeless.
But now she was in bright colors. She looked pretty and fair in light green. She put a bunch of elaborate invitations in front of An Rushuang and smiled, “Greetings, Madam An.”
An Rushuang was a little stunned. She felt like she had seen this face, which at this time made her worried and disturbed for no reason.
She frowned at Bai Zhi.
