Becoming the Empress: Golden Finger Set Under My Bed

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

An Rushuang had been always stressing that she was only a passer-by. Therefore, he had never asked her name.

She was also vigilant when receiving other’s kindness. Actually, compared to this girl in front of him, Meng Li would rather believe Du Yong’s words. At least Du Yong would never make up such a huge lie in front of him.

Hearing his questioning voice, An Rushuang couldn’t help knitting her eyebrows and staring at the man in from of her. With eyes turning red, An Rushuang tightly held her cloak.

Meng Li also stared at her.

As time passing by, when Meng Li thought she would not tell him, he heard An Rushuang sighing and looked at the direction of Du Yong, saying “Fine, I’ll tell you. He might be right.” f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

Saying so, An Rushuang looked up and tried to observe his expressions. On seeing his tough face, An Rushuang immediately looked down, revealing half of her fair face.

“So you are a ghost?”

Obviously Meng Li did not believe and his eyes revealed sarcasm. He quickly walked towards her and held her wrist tightly to force her to come forwards.

Screaming, An Rushang didn’t expect this and struggled, “What are you doing?”

“Perhaps that’s what I should ask you.” He said coldly, “Aren’t you a ghost? Why not run? Aren’t you good at disappearing out of nowhere?”

With several questions popping out, Meng Li felt like he had finally spoken out what he had hold in his heart for a long time.

Grinding her teeth, An Rushuang suddenly felt offended. She complained to herself: I did not want to stay here being blown by the cold wind.

If you wanted to settle old scores, that’s totally fine!

An Rushuang had nothing to feel guilty about, since she even saved General’s life!

“Ghost?!” An Rushuang suddenly looked up at Meng Li and seemed confident, “Yun Ran! You are a General! It’s ok that you are ungrateful to me, how dare you question me now? Do you know it is all because of you that I’m here? If it wasn’t you, I...I would have already been reincarnated in a new body.”

An Rushuang actually wanted to say that she would have already served tea for the Jade Emperor in the celestials’ world. But she needed to be more miserable to let him feel guilty. So perhaps it was better to use the identity of a ghost.

Glancing at her, Meng Li said, “That’s impossible. I never... killed a woman. You must have mixed someone up with me. If you are a ghost, you’d better reincarnate as soon as possible.”

That’s it?! Not afraid of ghost? Was that because he had killed too many people?

Frowning, An Rushuang smiled coldly, “Are you serious? Or you felt guilty and do not dare to recall?”

Looking at her, Meng Li recalled every single woman he knew and finally said firmly, “Miss, I’m not who you want to look for.”

“I’m sure it’s you!”

Furious, An Rushuang pointed at his chest with all her strength. Was he wearing armour inside? How could it be so firm...

“I will leave and it’s ok to tell you. I’m called White Shuang. General, are you familiar?”

To his surprise, Meng Li sharply stared at An Rushuang before he laughed out, “That’s ridiculous! Who sent you here trying to deceive me?” His cold voice sounded even harsher, which made people short of breath.

“Ridiculous? You are the ridiculous one!”

An Rushuang coldly hummed and her eyes turned red, but she didn’t retreat, “How could a general believe those rumours. I was about to be reincarnated, why you find another White Shuang to bind me?”

Saying so, An Rushuang felt sad for herself. She was dead, why let her serve him again?

It wasn’t easy for her to be reborn. Why he brought another White Shuang that let her travel miles in the evening? She really wanted to know what she owed to him.

Hearing this, Meng Li was stunned and couldn’t reply a word.

Looking at the girl in front of him, he thought even if White Shuang was reborn, she should have a horse face, why she looked so beautiful and she did hit his heart... that was too far.

But she seemed to be telling the truth. Although he knew An Rushuang was good at lying, he didn’t know why he would somehow believe her fantastic words.

“So you are really a ghost?”

Coming in the evening and leaving at daytime. That was right. But she didn’t look horrific, which somehow didn’t match with normal ghost.

Grinding her teeth, An Rushuang nodded after a while.

“Yes. White Shuang is a ghost.”

Taking a sigh of relief, An Rushuang thought fortunately she wasn’t called White Shuang.

“Why you didn’t tell me previously?” Meng Li frowned.

Who would know you were not afraid of ghosts? Twitching her lips, An Rushuang wrapped her cloak tighter, “Everyone is afraid of ghost. Of course, I didn’t dare to mention...”

They sat on the sand dune, talking from White Shuang saving his life till now. With the moon falling, there was some twilight in the east.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Meng Li looked regretful and then asked sincerely, “If it was me who trapped you here, what about I find you a monk to help...”

“No!” said An Rushuang in a high pitched voice.

Who knew the monk he found was reliable or not? The situation was strange. If she couldn’t go back to the An Family and reincarnated, that would be frustrating.

Feeling Meng Li’s sight, An Rushuang said, “It is all fate and we cannot change it. And I will not appear after around 15 days. I helped you and you are supposed to protect me these days.” 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

After the birthday banquet, she would go and find the Master Wuchen. She didn’t want to arrive at the desert in her dreams.

Thinking so, An Rushuang smartly curved her lips and looked firm.

Deeply looking at her, Meng Li stretched out to wrap the cloak for her, “Fine, it’s up to you...”

Suddenly the cloak fell onto his fingertips and the lively girl instantly disappeared.

Then Meng Li suddenly heard a strange cry behind him. He frowned and looked back, only to see Du Yong, who had left early, coming back. He looked pale and frightened, screaming in panic. “Ghost, she’s a ghost!”

What a coincidence!
