An Ning thought her performance was flawless, but she didn’t realize that her montary stiff expression was caught by Sikong Wuyou.
Indeed, she was familiar with Zhou Ying, or at least had heard of her.
However, although An Ning deliberately concealed this, Sikong Wuyou didn’t intentionally expose her.
"The recent incident of luring the wolves down the mountain was orchestrated by this Zhou Ying, and Zhou Ying also died under the claws of those wolves."
Every ti Sikong Wuyou spoke, he carefully observed An Ning’s expression.
Having lived through three lifetis, An Ning never lived past twenty.
Therefore, when it ca to reading expressions, she naturally couldn’t compare to Sikong Wuyou.
"I don’t know why you are telling this to a common girl like , what does this have to do with ?" An Ning couldn’t comprehend Sikong Wuyou’s intention.
Could it be that this lord is idle?
That was indeed possible, An Ning thought to herself.
If he wasn’t idle, then why would he, with his status, co to this small Long’an County to be a County Magistrate!
Seeing An Ning losing patience, Sikong Wuyou ceased his probing and said, "According to my investigation, Zhou Ying has been residing in Cuishi Town for years and is a person from the Pri Minister Residence in the Capital City. The reason she stayed in Cuishi Town was to guard a mother and daughter pair. Miss An, do you understand my point?"
"Please speak plainly, there’s no need to probe half and leave half unsaid. I have grown up in Taohua Village since childhood, rarely visited the town, and indeed do not know any Zhou Ying, let alone anything about the Pri Minister Residence. I don’t understand your aning; my uncle is still waiting outside for . If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now," An Ning said.
However, Sikong Wuyou did not agree, and continued, "The people Zhou Ying was here to protect were your mother and you, Miss An."
"Ha!" An Ning laughed, "Sir, what kind of life my mother and I have lived since childhood, everyone in the village can vouch for."
In truth, if they had been protected, how could their life be so tragic!
Protection; she dared not expect such. She was grateful enough if Zhou Ying wasn’t secretly harming her mother and her.
Sikong Wuyou: "Dongyue Pri Minister An Bingfeng, over forty years old, has a son. An Bingfeng never married in his lifeti. It is said that no one knows who his son’s mother is. They only know that back then, after the Pri Minister left the capital city for a period, he returned with a son out of nowhere."
Listening to these things she already knew, An Ning couldn’t fully articulate her feelings.
Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, An Ning’s voice had already beco sowhat hoarse, "I don’t understand what you’re saying..."
"Pri Minister An’s son bears quite a resemblance to Miss An Ning!" At least, five or six points similar.
Sikong Wuyou had stayed in the capital city for two years and naturally had seen An Yu.
Initially, upon seeing An Ning, he felt she looked familiar. That’s why he saved her from the wolves.
But at that ti, he didn’t pay much attention to her.
Later, after the incident with Zhou Ying, during the investigation, Sikong Wuyou inadvertently discovered the purpose of Zhou Ying staying here, thus becoming suspicious of An Ning’s lineage.
Combining the affairs of An Bingfeng back then with An Yu’s appearance, it wasn’t difficult to speculate about An Ning’s heritage.
Yet, he also doubted why he chose to reveal these things.
Perhaps he simply felt that a young girl who could have had a good life was instead subjected to deceit and abuse due to the selfishness and secrecy of a subordinate. It was pitiful.
However, Sikong Wuyou forgot that he was never soone who liked to ddle in others’ affairs.
