To Be a Mighty Empress, Or Not to Be - C90
“You … What are you talking about? ” When the third wife saw that someone had slandered her daughter, she immediately became angry. However, she was also wondering if it was really An Yi’s doing.
Master Shi frowned and shouted, “Stop!”
Shi Anyi had only taken two steps when her legs stiffened. Her heart suddenly jumped wildly, as if it was about to burst out of her throat. Gritting her teeth tightly, she mechanically walked in and timidly called out, “Daddy!”
Master Shi glanced at her and asked the big bloke, “Do you know what happens when you tell a lie?”
The big bloke wiped off his cold sweat and said while trembling, “This little one doesn’t dare to be presumptuous in front of Master!”
The man with the sharp beak quickly took out a large bag of silver and said, “Second Miss, give this to us brothers and let us tie up Eldest Miss and sell her in a remote brothel. Now that the money is returned to you, we won’t work on it!”
“That’s not what I said at all!” Shi Anyi was scared and angry at the same time, so she said this without thinking.
Hearing this, everyone understood, that all the servants of the Shi Family had heard it clearly, and thought to themselves: Second Miss is normally spoiled, but he actually dares to be so vicious, wanting to sell his elder sister!
The moment the words left her mouth, she immediately reacted and took Master Shi’s slap on her face. Shi Anyi’s body unsteadily fell to the ground in front of Shi Anran as she covered her face and shook her head continuously, “Daddy … Daddy, I was wrong, I really didn’t do that! I just… I just want them to scare sister, it’s really not like what they said! ”
Third Madam quickly reached out to hold his hand. “Master, An Yi lost her mind for a moment. Please forgive her this time. She’s fine now, isn’t she?”
As soon as she opened her mouth, Master Shi gave her a resounding slap. With a gloomy face she said, “How many times have I given her? It is you who have pampered her time and time again, resulting in her having such a daughter. ”
Shi Anran also knelt in front of his father, lowering her eyes to beg for mercy: “Daddy, please don’t injure your body too much with your breath, since your daughter is fine now, it’s fine, just forgive me this time!”
Third Madam covered the side of her face with her hands and ignored the pain in her face. She nodded repeatedly and said, “What big miss said is that everything is good at home and at ease. Old master, please spare An Yi!”
Liu Yue supported Shi Anran and timidly said: “Second Miss is very vicious, young miss is your eldest young mistress after all. If not for the fact that Young Master Xiang appeared in time to save young miss, I’m afraid young miss would have already been sold to a brothel by Second Miss without anyone noticing!”
“Liu Yue, stop talking!” Shi Anran ‘timely’ stopped her, and then continued to ponder: “It was only because little sister wasn’t very sensible that she made such a mistake. Daddy will look out for my daughter’s safety, don’t bother with her!”
Master Shi was furious now, what Liu Yue said made the fire burn even brighter. Master Shi kicked away Shi Anyi’s hand that was hugging her thigh and said angrily: “Such a vicious and merciless daughter, really shames me!”
Shi Anran’s begging was already useless, and the more she begged, the more Shi Yu got angry.
During this time, Xiang Rongcheng, who had not spoken all this while, just watched her put on an act like this. It was hard to say what kind of feeling he had in his heart, but he was growing increasingly determined to win against Shi Anran. Such a woman … He was becoming more and more obsessed with it. He wanted to understand it, wanted to get closer to it … How could he miss it?
“Men, lock them up in the woodshed. No one is allowed to visit them without my permission!” After leaving behind these harsh words, Master Shi left in a huff.
Shi Anyi struggled, as if she had lost all reason, and shouted at Shi Anran, “Shi Anran, you bitch, you set me up, you must have set me up …” After the voice faded, Shi Anran also withdrew the expression on her face with a cold expression. Her father was so angry this time, so she was afraid that Shi Anyi’s future days wouldn’t be easy either.
The first was to let him know just how ruthless and merciless he was. To tell him that he was different from the woman in his imagination and let Xiang Rongcheng’s good impression of him fade away. The second reason was to let him know the difficulties and retreat. Unfortunately, she didn’t seem to have expected this, and this only served to strengthen Xiang Rongcheng’s resolve.
It was already too late, so Xiang Rongcheng stayed in the guest room of Shi Family. Shi Anran did not have any reactions, but since he insisted on making trouble, then let it be!
heaved a sigh of relief. In his previous life, she had destroyed his looks and he would never have the opportunity to do so again.
She played with the little fox, and the little fox seemed to like her a lot. It was as if the little fox liked her every time it used its head to rub Shi Anran’s hands, in an attempt to get her hands on it.
“Miss!” Wang Yuan walked in from the back door.
Shi Anran nodded her head, laughed lightly, and asked: “Is everything ready?”
Wang Yuan replied: Those two people took the silver and left with their families. “I also swear that I will never come back …”
“Knock, knock, knock …” A knock on the door was heard by the two, Wang Yuan had already quietly retreated.
Shi Anran asked softly: “Who?”
“Anran, it’s me!” Xiang Rongcheng tossed and turned the bed, wanting to walk around, but seeing that the light in her room was still on, he naturally saw the shadow that flashed past her room. Xiang Rongcheng didn’t need to guess what was going on.
“Young Master Xiang, it’s already very late. Rest for now!” Shi Anran stood behind the door and hesitated for a moment before deciding not to open it.
There was a door between the two of them, and looking at the beautiful woman’s figure, Xiang Rongcheng felt his heart move. Thinking back to that time when she intentionally revealed a ruthless side to him, instead, she felt even more sorry for her, and then, said softly: “Do you think I would leave because of this matter? Anran, if you are wrong, I will definitely protect you well from today onwards. This kind of thing will definitely not happen again. ”
“Young Master Xiang, have you been following me around today?” This was just a guess. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so coincidental every time he saved someone, right?
Xiang Rongcheng denied it and explained, “This time, it was really unexpected. Maybe even the Heavens were helping us so that I could meet you on my way back to the residence and save you.”
Shi Anran did not question his words. With a slight smile, she said, “Thank you for today.”
“How can words of thanks count?” “It’s best if you keep your thanks for now!” With that, Xiang Rongcheng left with a light smile.
The next day, all the people from the Shi Family were gathered in the courtyard, and during this period, there was even an outsider, Xiang Rongcheng, who was present. Master Shi sat on the chair, looking at Shi Anyi who was being escorted, seemingly waiting for a decision.
Liu Yue stood behind Shi Anran while holding up an umbrella, and said softly: “Miss, what is the old master waiting for?”
Shi Anran also discovered that something was amiss. Even if his father wanted to punish him, he should have already done so. After the time it takes to make a cup of tea, a young man dressed like a scholar walked in. He bowed to everyone and said, “Master Shi!”
Master Shi slightly nodded his head and ordered someone to prepare a chair for him. He then stood up and said, “Today, this old man will punish my own family …”
