Chapter 11: An Awkward First eting
Translator: Sissy That Walk
When An Rushuang ca to the main house, Lady An was sitting at the table shedding tears. The food in front of her were not touched.
She was such a soft person that it was understandable that she could not figure out a solution to this trouble.
“Mum!” An Rushuang said loudly and went inside with a big stride.
Lady An hurriedly wiped her tears and forced a smile, attempting to pretend that everything was going well. But her red eyes betrayed her.
“Why are you here? I thought you said you wouldn’t co.”
An Rushuang sighed in her heart, clutching her mother’s hand, and said in a firm voice, “Mum, don’t be afraid.”
“Even if they manage to be accepted by our Family, you are still the only Lady An, and this will not change at any ti.”
“You knew that?”
Lady An couldn’t help but hold her daughter’s hand tighter as if she could take energies from her daughter.
Lady An murmured with her glazed eyes, “If they make a scene again, the An Family would beco a laughing stock in the capital. Perhaps your dad will also be affected...”
“No, it won’t happen. Mum.”
An Rushuang chuckled “If the emperor fired dad because of family affairs, then I’m afraid almost all governnt officials would be fired. Mum, rest assured! You just need to take care of yourself and do not worry about these things!”
“But, you father said...”
She looked worriedly at her daughter, thinking if that girl was the blood of An Family, she would be accepted sooner or later.
“Mum, no matter what dad’s decision is, at least he can see this woman’s real face.” She smiled slightly, “She kept saying she was obedient and dutiful, but she dared to force you when dad was out.”
Hearing Rushuang’s words, Lady An nodded with her red eyes.
“Mum, let’s have so food first.”
Lady An shook her head and looked tired.
An Rushuang sighed and then said: “OK, take a break. We can have al when dad’s back.”
Mo Zhu also ca over and tried to persuade Lady An, “My lady, listen to madam. She’s right. Lord An will be back in a hour. Better have a rest first.”
Lady An could not stand their sincerity, so she agreed.
When Lady An fell asleep, she still clutched her daughter’s hand. An Rushuang did not leave. Instead, she sat on the side of the bed, holding her mum’s hand and resting her chin on the other hand. After a while, she also fell asleep.
It beca colder and she gradually felt she was shivering. So she reached out and wanted to wrap the quilt over her body. But no matter how she stretched her hand, the quilt seed to be thousands of miles away...
“Who are you?!”
A cold voice rang in her ear.
An Rushuang was startled and opened her eyes, only to find herself sleeping in a stable.
At the mont, she was covered with ssy hay, her hand stretching out of the stable. To her astonishnt, she was naked!
Now it was only dawn, but soldiers were already up for practicing.
The good-looking Major General was dressed in armor, with his cloak waving in the blowing cold wind. He stood against the light, seriously looking at her with his eyebrow knitted.
ng Li was really astonished that a mont ago there were no one in the stable. This girl seed to have popped up from nowhere.
“You, stay away from .”
The girl was flustered. Her delicate voice was suddenly heard in the stable.
ng Li looked at her. Her ssy hair was falling on her shoulder, covering part of her pretty little face. She seed to be a little scared, with her bright eyes shining like stars.
Sohow, ng Li felt his heart was hit.
“Who are you?” he asked in a low voice.
Looking around, An Rushuang was on the edge of crying. Even when she was transford as a horse, she hadn’t felt this awkward. “General... could you please give sothing to wear...”
How co this strange woman knew I was the General? Suddenly ng Li felt so angry.
“Who brought you here? How co you know ?”
His face was dark; his cheeks were scarred; his thin lips were tight; his eyes were shining with sharp light, and his black cloak waved against the wind.
An Rushuang was intimidated by his imposing temper. But she regained her courage soon. After all, it was she who saved him in that battle.
Why should she be afraid of him? He owed her his life and should repay her! Thinking so, she felt sowhat confident.
“I don’t know you. I just assu you are a general. All of you are called general, aren’t you? ”
She felt so cold that her teeth were chattering. She tried to make herself sound trustworthy.
“Who brought you here?”
Anger could be seen on his face and his eyes looked like sharp knives. But when he saw her shivering in the coldness, he took off his cloak and threw it to her.
An Rushuang wrapped herself from head to toe, but a cloak was definitely not enough to withstand the chilliness in the desert. Her lips turned blue and she was still trembling.
Why was she here? Even if this was a dream, she should have co here as White Shuang, the horse. Did this an she had to stay in the desert forever?
Thinking of this possibility, she shivered a little and her mind was chaotic.
