The weather at noon was pleasant, with the sun slightly peeking out.
Thinking about Wuyou’s parents leaving for the capital today, An Ning showed a relieved smile.
The heavens are quite considerate, it was cloudy yesterday, but today it has cleared up.
Traveling when the weather is good is certainly better than doing so in the afternoon.
With so ti to spare, she tidied up the betrothal gifts.
At this mont, the cook ca in, "Miss, Miss Xinghua is here to see you."
An Ning put down what was in her hand and stood up reluctantly, "I know, I’ll go out right now."
An Ning originally thought that once Xinghua left her ho, there would be no further interaction between them.
But unexpectedly, she still ca by every day, if only to exchange a few words.
Yet, this made An Ning feel particularly annoyed, a kind of feeling as if she couldn’t shake her off.
After stepping out, An Ning closed the door behind her and locked it.
There were precious items inside the room, so it was better to handle them carefully.
As she turned around, she already saw Xinghua coming in.
"Sister An Ning, are you feeling better? I made so pickled radish these past two days and especially brought it over for you to taste." With that, Xinghua waved the small bowl in her hand towards An Ning.
An Ning’s face was devoid of any expression, "I rember I’ve told you before, that you shouldn’t co looking for unless there’s sothing important."
A trace of gloom instantly flashed across Xinghua’s face, "Sister An Ning, you are the only person Xinghua knows, and the only one who makes Xinghua feel close. Even if you won’t let stay here, can you at least not stop from visiting you..."
An Ning: "..."
It’s only in the past few days that she realized this Xinghua is sowhat impervious to hints, otherwise, she wouldn’t have gotten involved with her in the first place.
Now, she couldn’t shake her off.
An Ning: "You know my health is not good, so you should also know that I need peace and quiet, I cannot handle noise. You coming over every day drains my energy just by dealing with you; how am I supposed to recuperate?"
Xinghua bowed her head, "So, does Sister An Ning feel like she’s dealing with every day?"
The words were obvious enough, An Ning thought she had expressed herself clearly.
Seeing An Ning remain silent, Xinghua frowned and pondered for a mont, then said, "Early today when the sky was still dark, Xinghua unintentionally saw soone coming out from Sister An Ning’s house, then riding away on horseback..."
"So?" An Ning asked.
Xinghua was quite surprised; she thought saying this would make An Ning at least a bit nervous.
After all, this matter concerns a young girl’s reputation. How could she be so indifferent?
"Xinghua actually ant no harm; she just wanted to remind Sister An Ning that as girls we must pay attention to our safety and reputation." Lord County Magistrate likes her now, he certainly doesn’t know about An Ning’s relationship with An Dafu. If he knew, would he still favor a promiscuous girl?
Xinghua thought, she was considering it for An Ning’s sake as well.
Hearing this, An Ning felt a surge of blood stuck in her throat, neither going up nor down, causing discomfort.
"Whatever I am, spare yourself the trouble of worrying about it. If you have ti, better to think carefully about your future path, seeing as you’re staying with a whole family, always renting soone else’s house isn’t the best solution," An Ning said.
Xinghua just smiled, "Yesterday Xinghua already found so workers; it just so happens that winter keeps everyone idle, so in a couple of days we can start working on building a house."
