To Be a Mighty Empress, Or Not to Be - C91
Shi Anyi’s mouth was stuffed, and she could only shake her head at the third wife, who was so anxious that she looked around, but had no other choice. She could only beg Shi Anran: “Anran, on the account that you and An Yi are sisters, go and plead with your father! In any case, both of you have the blood of the old master in your bodies! How could you bear to see her so severely punished? ”
While she pleaded for others, who would come forward to plead for her? Shi Anran was clearly a victim, but now it seemed that it would be her fault if she did not plead with her father. It was truly ridiculous to the extreme! However, Shi Anran did not express her dissatisfaction at all. She smiled and agreed to it, then walked over and bowed in front of Master Shi: “Father, little sister is still young, if father really wants to punish her, then let daughter be punished along with little sister. As her eldest sister and the patriarch of the backyard, I also have the responsibility to discipline her well.”
Master Shi was satisfied with his eldest daughter’s explanation. Her eldest daughter was still someone who understood everything, if An Yi was also as knowledgeable as Anran, he wouldn’t have used this method. It was just that he had already decided on this matter and no one could change anything. He slowly took a deep breath and put it down, then said lightly: “Anran, you are just too kind. Father will definitely uphold justice for you in this matter!”
Hearing this, the third wife felt despair. Her originally hopeful eyes instantly dimmed. She could only look at her daughter lovingly.
Old Master Shi spoke in a deep voice, “The Shi Family Second Miss is unscrupulous, unruly and willful, disrespectful to the eldest sister Anran. First, she plotted and plotted against her, and now, she has been expelled from the Shi Family and will never come back.”
No… Father, how can you treat me like this?
Hearing that it was actually such a heavy punishment, Shi Anyi struggled with all her might, yet couldn’t break free even after using all of her strength.
Then Master Shi said, “This scholar is of good character and is a loyal and honest man. Just follow him!” With that, he turned around and left the scene of the farce.
Shi Anran finally realised that her father actually wanted to marry Shi Anyi off to this poor scholar who came in after he had married her, so she could take her far away. It had to be said that Shi Anran was quite satisfied with such a method of handling things, as there was not even the slightest bit of sympathy in walking past him.
Unexpectedly, Shi Anyi grabbed her thigh, took out a piece of cloth that was stuffed in his mouth, and was about to open his mouth to bite her. In that critical moment, Xiang Rongcheng raised her leg and kicked her out, causing her to heavily hit the stone steps and lose consciousness.
“My poor daughter! Why did you hit her? ” The third wife was unwilling to let him go and wanted to tear him apart.
The more miserable Shi Anran saw, the happier and happier he would be. She innocently shrugged her shoulders, and said in a calm voice: “Third Concubine, please clearly see who it is before you attack. Otherwise, if you offend anyone, daddy will not be happy!”
“You …” Since the third wife was angry, she didn’t dare to say it. She knew that Shi Anran wasn’t asking for mercy sincerely, and it seemed that it was indeed the case.
Without waiting for her to mock him, Shi Anran slowly spoke up. “Rather than wasting time here, why don’t you go take a look at that scholar’s son-in-law? After saying those words with a smile that was not a smile, accompanied by the female servant, Shi Anran walked away leisurely.
The third wife didn’t dare speak, but stared at Shi Anran instead. In her heart, she had already called out Shi Anran’s name and cursed him a few hundred times.
Xiang Rongcheng looked at her back as he curled the corner of his mouth and revealed a meaningful smile.
Inside Shi Anran’s courtyard.
“Young Master Xiang is so comfortable. He stays in my Shi Family all day, aren’t he afraid of rumors?” Shi Anran brewed tea amidst the flowers and said unhurriedly. She slowly raised her eyes to look at the elegant man who was walking closer.
“Anran is indeed skilled, I wonder if I can get a cup of tea to drink?” Although he said that, Xiang Rongcheng still sat down unceremoniously.
Shi Anran unhappily rolled her eyes at her. Could this person be more shameless?
Unexpectedly, Xiang Rongcheng actually said in an especially beatings manner: “Daughter’s house, rolling your eyes is not an elegant action, from today onwards, I think it’s best not to do it, although it doesn’t look like it will.
“You’re really unlikeable!” His mouth was really annoying.
Xiang Rongcheng poured himself a cup of tea and drank it. He slowly closed his eyes and savored the aroma of the tea. Anran’s cooking skills were not bad.
Seeing his expression, Shi Anran could not help but smile. Was there a need for him to exaggerate so much?
“Squeak, squeak …” The little fox climbed up Xiang Rongcheng’s leg and onto his shoulder, then obediently squatted on his shoulder.
Xiang Rongcheng raised an eyebrow at Shi Anran, then grabbed the little fox to rub its ears, and indifferently asked: “Is this little thing naughty to you?”
“Naturally, she’s not as mischievous as Young Master Xiang!” Shi Anran said snappily, and indifferently turned her gaze away.
“Haha …” Xiang Rongcheng laughed helplessly. The current Shi Anran was truly enchanting, her face had a faint blush, and she deliberately avoided his gaze.
Shi Anran calmed her emotions, she turned and looked at her, her beautiful eyes flowing, “What is it that makes Young Master Xiang so funny?”
Young Master Xiang, when will Anran be able to say the last word?
He pursed his lips, his eyes filled with unconcealable tenderness, “Anran, you’ve given me one accident after another. Tell me, how can I stop me from chasing after your determination?”
She actually asked her about it? Shi Anran was both amused and angry. She only felt that Xiang Rongcheng was unreasonable, and although he had the demeanor of a humble gentleman, people did not like him. Or perhaps … It was because she didn’t like him.
Returning to the main topic, Xiang Rongcheng said in a serious tone, “Anran, if you are to return late, send someone to inform me so that I don’t have to worry about what happened last night.”
“How can I not be at ease?” The guards for my Shi Family are not used as decorations, could it be that following Young Master Xiang’s orders, I will not be able to live without you, Anran? ”
“You clearly know that I didn’t mean it this way, but you still want to misunderstand my meaning!” Xiang Rongcheng was afraid that when he was careless, some people would take advantage of him and he would regret it even more.
Shi Anran did not reply, she looked up at the sun and thought, it’s getting late, why is she still not leaving?
Xiang Rongcheng was not someone who liked to pester others, he understood that for a woman like Shi Anran, he could not force her too close, or else the consequences would be dire. As he thought about this, he stood up. Her tall and slender figure, which was reflected in the sunlight, became even more handsome, “Anran, I’ll be returning to the residence first. If there’s anything else, you can come find me anytime!”
“Liu Yue, send Young Master Xiang off.” Seeing that he was about to leave, Shi Anran relaxed and opened his lips.
Liu Yue bowed slightly, “Young Master Xiang, please!”
The little fox squatted in the flowers and watched as Xiang Rongcheng walked far away before returning to Shi Anran’s embrace. Shi Anran stroked its fur and laughed: “This little guy is really cunning, I only remembered who your master is now.” Looking at the little fox, Shi Anran remembered the man who just left and what he had said. The smile in his eyes slowly faded.
