Chapter 48: Misunderstanding Is a Chance in Disguise
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
“I didn’t trust you in the past.”
Staring at him, An Rushuang said slowly, “Even yesterday, I still had ill feeling toward you, but when you said for sure there were 80-90% chance that Nanny Liu could recover from the disease, I decided to trust you without doubt.”
Shocked by her words, Ye Chengzhi was speechless for a long ti before he asked, “Why did you have ill feeling toward ?”
It confused him so much that he, usually under her threat, would cause any trouble for An Rushuang that made her distrust him.
Catching a glimpse of Ye Chengzhi, An Rushuang smiled. “I have t several physicians. Though their dical fee was high, they would not tell about the disease in detail, only trying their best to use expensive herbal dicines in prescription. But you...”
She stopped with a chuckle. Ye Chengzhi, understanding her aning imdiately, couldn’t help blushing.
“I... I had no choice back then,” he rubbed his noise before he repeated, “I had no choice.”
Since his old man had to use large amount of herbal dicine, Ye Chengzhi nearly made no money this year. What’s worse, he couldn’t make the ends et after bought another dicine recently.
When he ca to treat Nanny Liu, lady’s beloved wet nurse, at the manor, Ye Chengzhi was rely obsessed with the money.
As a physician, he was really ashad of his immoral act.
Given Ye Chengzhi’s guiltiness, An Rushuang comforted him, “I used to think you cared nothing but money. However, when you promised Nanny Liu you would cure her without prevarication, I knew I have misunderstood you. I apologize to you sincerely.”
An Rushuang cupped her hands to pay respect to Ye Chengzhi, her face being serious.
With a wisp of warmth running through his heart, Ye Chengzhi almost shed tears.
“It should be my turn to apologize for my crossing the bottom line of a physician’s morality.”
Ye Chengzhi also made a bow to An Rushuang.
“Please get up, Mr. Ye! There’s no need for you to do this.” An Rushuang said in a hurry.
“Miss An, please don’t make more embarrassed.”
While they were smiling at each other while getting up, sothing was shattered into pieces on the ground.
Silver, holding a tea tray in her hands, was in panic.
“What a fool you are to break the tea cup. Is there an easier job than making tea? The blue porcelain tea set was worth ten silver ingots! The whole set has to be abandoned if one single cup is broken!” Hong Yu, following her in, reproached Silver harshly.
“Ten...Ten silver ingots?” Silver, with her eyes wide open, stared at the fragnts on the ground while muttering, “I can buy a good one at the East Street with several coins...”
Hong Yu snorted coldly. “Will Miss An use the sa thing as you do?”
How would she be so careless to order Silver, who was good at nothing except for retort, to serve Miss An! Hong Yu blad herself. Now, she would be implicated by this silly girl!
Silver was speechless while lowering her head.
“Enough, Hong Yu. You are so sharp-tongued.” An Rushuang ca up slowly, staring at the maid with her clear eyes.
Ye Chengzhi, who had learned about how sharp her teeth could be, couldn’t help nodding behind An Rushuang.
Hong Yu glared at him before defending herself, “My lady, she has always been so reckless. If you don’t punish her, nothing at the Liuxi Pavilion would be kept intact!”
Silver, thrown into panic, crawled to An Rushuang before pulling her dress tightly
“My lady, show so rcy, I won’t do that again. Please forgive !”
An Rushuang remained indifferent, turned to Silver and said, “Though it’s an unintentional mistake, I still need to punish you according to our rules. I’ll stop offering you wage for three months.”
“You’d better thank her ladyship for her rcy!” Hong Yu frowned at Yin Zi. “Otherwise, you can’t pay back the cup tea even with all of your wage in three year!”
“Thank... Thank you very much, my lady.” Silver sobbed while lowering her head, tears trailing down her cheeks.
Though saying so, Silver, her heart full of grievance, still thought it was unfair for her to be punished. As rich as the An Family, how could they reproach her before a stranger just for a tea cup...
It was lucky for her to have so money at hand, enough to support herself within the next three months.
Watching Silver leave the room with a respectful gesture, Ye Chengzhi, saying he had to take out the herbal dicines he was going to use tomorrow, bid farewell to An Rushuang in a hurry.
“My lady, should I keep an eye on her?” Hong Yu asked.
Staring at Silver’s figure fading into distance, An Rushuang shook her head. “No need for now. I will inform you when the ti is right. By the way, you can ntion princess Ming Xi’s invitation to her.”
Since the princess had invited both girls of the An Family, she should let An Lingshan know about it.
Scratching her head, Hong Yu was confused. “My lady, will you take that bastard girl...”
“Watch your tongue, Hong Yu.”
An Rushuang raised her voice before cutting in, “Since father has introduced her to us, she is my little sister from now on. All the people at Liuxi Pavilion mustn’t call her bastard girl anymore.”
Staring at An Rushuang blankly for a while, Hong Yu nodded when she thought of Silver. “I get it, my lady. What if Lord An misunderstand your ladyship when Silver told her about the invitation?”
“Sotis, misunderstanding is a chance in disguise.”
