To Be a Mighty Empress, Or Not to Be - C94
Shi Anyi covered her flushed face, looked at Shi Anran with hatred, and said angrily: “Shi Anran! I want to curse you, curse you that you will not die a peaceful death, even if you die you will not be able to reincarnate! ”
“Pah!” Looking at the bloodstain on the corner of Shi Anyi’s mouth, Shi Anran smiled and said slowly, “I’m afraid you won’t see that day again. Shi Anyi, do you think that your life here is too carefree? Someone sent bedding, clothes, and food? If I had really guarded this place a little tighter and ended all these things, would you have been able to continue living in peace? ”
“You wicked woman!” Shi Anyi was afraid that she would get beaten up again, hence she could only grind her teeth and spit out a few words. She did not dare say anymore, and did not dare to forcefully rush forward.
“Don’t blame anyone, because your current path was created by you and that Third Concubine who indulged you. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself and your mother, but you can’t blame me!” After she finished speaking, Shi Anran did not linger, and immediately turned and left.
Shi Anran lightly swept a glance over them, opened her mouth and said: “Go and exchange for a few robust guards to guard, the two of you can go take your punishments!”
“Thank you, young miss …” The two women secretly let out a sigh of relief before running off gloomily.
On the day of Shi Anyi’s marriage, the Shi Clan didn’t even dare to let her walk out the front door. After all, they were married to a poor scholar, so there was nothing to brag about them.
Third Concubine cried continuously for a few days but to no avail, she could only accept her fate.
Shi Anran watched coldly from the side. It would be impossible to say that she did not have a trace of compassion. However, in her heart, she was mostly admonishing herself. If she hadn’t done it so ruthlessly, she was afraid that she would be the one to end up with such a disgraced person in the future.
In order to avoid the same fate as in her previous life, she could only harden her heart.
On this day, Shi Yu called Shi Anran into his study, and said with a stern expression: “Anran, from today onwards, everything in the entire Shi Family will be handed over to you.
And it was also true that Shi Anyi was no longer the daughter of Shi Family. Even though Shi Anran had a brother, she didn’t have much of a difference and the entire Shi Family could only rely on Shi Anran in the future. She did not decline either.
“Mm, that’s good!” Master Shi looked at his eldest daughter in satisfaction. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she was very similar to his wife. A trace of nostalgia and yearning gradually appeared in his eyes.
During the next two months, Shi Anran passed by relatively calmly, learning to manage accounts and manage small businesses within the family. The third wife did not come to cause trouble again. Without Shi Anyi by her side, the Third Madam looked like she had aged a dozen years in an instant. However, most of the people here were picky people who didn’t care about her, and no one would sympathize with her.
“Miss has already watched for a long time. Why don’t we go swim in the lake as well?” Seeing that Shi Anran rarely came out of the East Mist Lake and yet only stared at the lake water without saying a word, Liu Yue thought that she had this plan.
Shi Anran shook her head and said: “It’s already the third month.” The palace talent show was about to begin. She had to find a way to enter the palace.
Looking up at the willow tree, Liu Yue laughed, “Young miss, look, this willow tree has blossomed!”
Hearing that, Shi Anran looked over curiously. The blossoming of willow trees was indeed a bit strange, but she did not know whether this was a good omen or not.
“I have never heard of a willow blooming before, but Anran has a calm expression, it’s truly rare.” Following this voice, Xiang Rongcheng, who was dressed in crescent white embroidered robes, only had not seen him for two months, and he had actually become more and more handsome.
As though she had been shocked by his previous thoughts, Shi Anran immediately stopped thinking about it. She glanced at him with a calm expression: “Young Master Xiang seems to be very bored everyday?”
“I wanted to come here to have a look, maybe I might be able to meet a beautiful woman to accompany me, but I didn’t expect to meet you, Anran! This is fated. ” Xiang Rongcheng walked over with a smile, and kept the fan with a ‘whoosh’ sound.
His smile and action carried the aura of a noble young master, furthermore, Xiang Rongcheng’s face was incomparably handsome, it immediately attracted many women’s gazes, and they even had the guts to ask which family’s young master it was.
Xiang Rongcheng did not like being looked at so naked, so he extended his arm and wrapped it around Shi Anran’s shoulder, and gently said: “My wife, let’s go somewhere else!”
The handsome young master was actually married? Seeing that Shi Anran did not comb her hair, some of the women started to size her up, but they were all stared at back by Yi Yue.
“You don’t understand …” As he said that, Shi Anran’s face could not help but turn red, as he anxiously tried to struggle free from Xiang Rongcheng’s restraints.
Shi Anran actually blushed? Xiang Rongcheng looked like he had seen something strange and was nearly struck dumb.
When they reached a place with no one around, Shi Anran was finally able to let go of his hand and unhappily said: “Don’t say that you and I have nothing to do with each other, even if there is, Young Master Xiang can’t be so disrespectful to a weak girl like me in broad daylight, right? If this gets out, how can Anran still get married in the future? ”
“That’s easy, why don’t I marry you?” Xiang Rongcheng felt that Shi Anran was being too persistent, so he smiled and said: “Isn’t your second sister already married? As the eldest sister, you’re still alone, don’t you think it’s time to consider our marriage?”
“Xiang Rongcheng!” This was the first time Shi Anran had called out his name, but she used a displeased tone as she said, “Do you know that it’s not a gentleman to pester and pester like this?”
If he were a little more noble, then his wife would have been taken away!
Xiang Rongcheng coughed lightly as he covered his lips. With a dazzling smile, he said, “In front of Anran, I can put down any kind demeanor I have.”
Shi Anran clenched her teeth, and was once again at a loss for words, as though every time she was with this man, she would feel a sense of speechlessness, “Forget it, it’s really incomprehensible!”
“Don’t be angry! Am I wrong? ” Xiang Rongcheng kept up with her footsteps and asked.
Liu Yue and Yi Yue looked at each other, and Liu Yue laughed lightly: “Do you think that Young Master Xiang treats the little miss in a very special manner?”
Yi Yue rolled her eyes at her in annoyance, “You talkative fool, be careful that Miss will also lock you up in the woodshed. If you stop eating and drinking, you will suffer for a few days!”
Knowing that it was a joke, Liu Yue smiled at her and did not say anymore.
Looking at the boat on the lake surface, Xiang Rongcheng thought: If I can swim with Shi Anran, it should be good … Thinking about this, Xiang Rongcheng looked to the side and asked: “Anran, how about we go for a swim in the lake?”
Shi Anran rejected indifferently: “If Young Master Xiang wants to swim the lake, there are many beauties that would like to accompany you. Anran will not disturb Young Master Xiang!”
“Could it be that Anran is jealous?” Xiang Rongcheng laughed out softly.
What do you mean? Anran did not understand Young Master Xiang’s words, and took his leave! Shi Anran didn’t spare him another glance as she left in large strides.
Xiang Rongcheng laughed and shook his head, which part of him was not liked? Shi Anran had the urge to run far away when she saw him.
Liu Yue turned around and looked at Xiang Rongcheng who was standing still in his original spot, and warned his worriedly: “Miss, Young Master Xiang is still there!”
“Let him like it. Let’s go!” Shi Anran was a little angry, but she could not figure out where that complicated feeling in her heart came from.
