Chapter 2: Turning to a Person Again

Translator: Sissy That Walk

“Major General, look out!”

In the evening, a young woman suddenly opened her eyes. Looking at the fringed curtains above, she froze for a while.

She held out her soft fingers and felt her little face blankly…

Wasn’t she dead?

Could it be that she accumulated merits when she protected the man from the stab and thus obtained divine retribution and turned to a person again?

She looked back and forth in the room. By the dim light outside, she could see the layout and found it extremely familiar.

Opposite the corner of her bed was a dressing table craved with yellow flowers and peonies where a painting scroll of rainy days were suspended above. Looking further, she found a Four Gentlemen screen hind her sight forward.

Outside she could hear stream flowing down. True enough, it was her Liuxi Pavilion.

Soon a woman hurriedly came in.

Due to the dim light in the room, the woman nearly fell down, but she didn’t have time to care about herself. She rushed to curtain and said “What’s the matter, madam? Did you have a nightmare? Let Mammy see if you are ok?”

At the moment, two servant girls came in and lit some candles. The room gradually became brighter.

An Rushuang couldn’t help feel sad when seeing the woman in robes rush to her so worriedly that she even lost a shoe on the way.

At a loss, she suddenly remembered when she was convicted, Mammy Liu’s hair turned white overnight and the scene where she knelt on the ground and screamed to beg the jerk emperor “Your Majesty, the empress is innocent…”

Now Mammy Liu was not the old woman in her memory. She was now plump and had some wrinkles around her eye corner. She was looking at me worriedly.

“Mammy…I don’t want you to die…”

The young woman in front of her stared at Mammy and was suddenly full of tears.

Seeing this, Mammy Liu was so upset that she held her in the arms, thinking she must have had a nightmare. After she calmed down, Mammy Liu frowned to ask the two servant girls to go outside.

The two girls were An’s private servants.

The tall girl with big eyes on the left side was called Hong Yu. She was a daredevil in daily life. So she was very nervous now, stretching her neck to see what was happening in the room “Mammy, how’s madam? Is everything ok?”

The girl in light green on the other side looked more sedate. She looked good with her apricot pit-like eyes and willow-leaf like eyebrows. She held Hong Yu and said “Stay calm. Listen to Mammy.”

Glaring at Hong Yu, Mammy Liu then asked “Where did you go today? What happened? If you don’t tell the truth, don’t beg me when you are punished by lord and lady.”

Looking at each other, two girls immediately were frightened.

Cui Liu frowned and replied “We went out with madam today. Madam wanted to wash hands after having some desserts. But where we were was desolate and the wheeler told us there was a Peach temple nearby where the landscape was beautiful. Madam was so intrigued that she asked us to go… ”

Hearing these words, Mammy Liu was at a loss, thinking she was trying to shifting the responsibility. She hummed and said “So what does this have to do with madam being scared?”

An Rushuang could vaguely hear what they were saying and felt warm at the bottom of the heart.

Then another voice was heard “Mammy, we did have some difficulties there. Madam was scared…it was because we encountered the second Prin…”

Mammy Liu was still scolding two girls. But hearing this, An Rushuang frowned and her smile gradually froze.

She remembered this spring tour.

And what Hong Yu was mumbling was “the second Prince.”

At that time, her father had just been promoted to work as the Royal Inspector in the capital. He suddenly became the most favored person in front of the emperor.

Such promotion was rare, so almost everyone wanted to make friends with him and send their lady to visit Lord An.

Lady An was not good at coping with these situations. After several days, she was too exhausted to stand up.

Therefore, An Rushuang went out with two servant girls for the spring tour.

They had planned to visit the Peach temple, but they didn’t expect their horse suddenly got frightened and rushed to the cold river when they were about to get off the carriage.

At this time, a young man in white appeared. Just within several unrestrained moves, he saved her and held her in the arms from the carriage.

The young man looked handsome with a folding fan in his hand. His extravagant and sophisticated air showed that he was born in a noble family. But under his handsome face, there were some frivolous behaviors.

However, she was so naive that she only considered the man was gentle and he could be the one to rely on, but she never looked into him. What a calculating heart was wrapped in this pretty outlook! What she had done was giving a sincere heart to him like a fool.

She didn’t know until she was standing on the punishment platform when her younger sister told her even the frightening horse was part of emperor’s plot and she was just a relatively important pawn.

However, it was just a matter of time till the pawn was useless, no matter how important it used to be.

Zhu Han (Second Prince and the emperor to be) never loved her. All he wanted to do was just taking advantage of her father and elder brother.

In this game, only she was the one who was sincere.

Now Zhu Han must have laid out his perfect game and was waiting for the pawn to jump in.

She couldn’t help but clench her fists so tightly that her nails were deep in the flesh. The pain felt so clear that she sneered at her lips.

She wondered what Zhu Han would be like if he knew his planned pawn was going to bite him severely.

Suddenly An thought major general’s words “We will win the battle.”

“Mammy, I’m fine. Do not bother too many people.”

She smiled and stopped Mammy Liu calling servants to go to Peach temple and calling for lord and lady.

Seeing Mammy Liu’s enquiring eyes, An said “I just had a nightmare. I will be fine.”

She would never let him be the nightmare of the An Family again.
