After chatting a bit more, Xinghua seed entirely concerned for An Ning’s sake, but with every word, she subtly reminded An Ning about the issue of a girl’s reputation.
She even pretended to casually ntion An Dafu.
An Ning thought, she must be reminding that she’s holding the evidence of the matter between An Dafu and .
It’s a pity, though, that she can’t threaten An Ning.
Besides, Wuyou has long been aware of their relationship.
Didn’t you notice how Wuyou is always respectful and polite to her dad each ti he visits?
Watching Xinghua trying to talk her way around, An Ning picked at her slightly long nails, saying, "Have you finished what you wanted to say?"
An Ning’s lack of welco was obvious, causing Xinghua discomfort, and she said, feeling resentful, "Sister An Ning, truly everything Xinghua does is for your sake. If you don’t want to hear those words, I’ll stop saying them in the future, is that okay?"
"There will be no ’future.’ As I said before, our paths are separate; my health requires rest, and I don’t have the ti to entertain you every day, so there won’t be a next ti." An Ning rejected her outright, not giving her a chance to retaliate this ti, "Alright, if there’s nothing else, you may leave. I’m tired."
Xinghua opened her mouth, but ultimately said, "Since Sister An Ning is tired, do rest soon. Xinghua... will take her leave then."
Watching her departing figure, An Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The cook erged, glanced towards the direction of the door, and said to An Ning, "If miss doesn’t like that girl, just leave it to us servants to deal with her in the future. There’s no need to suffer for an outsider like that."
An Ning didn’t refuse, smiling, "If that’s the case, then I’ll trouble you in the future."
"Alright, with Miss’ word, I’ll know what to do from now on."
In fact, seeing An Ning’s attitude toward Xinghua, she had wanted to say this for a long ti, but couldn’t quite grasp An Ning’s thoughts, so she never dared speak up.
Now, with the words spoken, dealing with a young girl is a simple matter indeed!
After all, she’s doing it to curry favor with An Ning.
Since Lord County Magistrate took office, the County Office changed significantly, and all previous maidservants and servants were dismissed. Since there were fewer mouths to feed, she remained the only one in the kitchen.
Though the competition pressure lessened significantly, the Lord instructed her not to wander about. Just staying around the kitchen area is sufficient, and groceries are bought via the back door, with no opportunity to go to the front.
People strive for higher goals, just as water flows to lower places.
Now, having the chance to connect with the future mistress, she naturally needs to be diligent.
Once An Ning returned to her room, the cook turned her eyes and went out the door.
"Miss Xinghua..."
Xinghua was walking ahead, moving exceedingly slowly due to having things on her mind.
Upon hearing soone call her, she turned around and imdiately saw it was the cook from An Ning’s house.
She also knew this cook was sent over by Lord County Magistrate.
Instantly, Xinghua’s face was full of smiles, politely lowering her head, and called back, "Oh, it’s Madam, did you call for sothing?"
The cook replied, "It’s actually not a big deal, just wanted to inform the lady that our Master has said the future County Magistrate’s wife’s health needs rest, and requested to help ensure certain uninterested outsiders don’t disrupt her, do you understand my aning, Miss Xinghua?"
As for falsely passing off Sikong Wuyou’s orders, that simply doesn’t exist.
