Chapter 21: Human Hearts-The Darkest Part in the Word

Translator: Sissy That Walk

“Please send me away, your lordship! I do not have a dad since my birth. I only had my mum. Now mum is gone, and dad does not recognize me, there is no point living in this world…”

Standing aside, An Rushuang looked at her indifferently and scoffed in her heart.

“Rushuang, did you say that to her?”

Turing to An Rushuang, An Yipei frowned and bit his lips, looking angry and confused.

To him, they were sisters. Even if they were not born by same mum, they still have blood connections. If Rushuang did say that, she had indeed gone too far.

“No, it’s not what it is. Your lordship, you know our daughter well. Rushuang is always obedient. She is not like this.”

After less than half an hour rest, Lady An got up. She had not had a good sleep for several days. When taking care of the girl, she was so sleepy that she even fell asleep. When she woke up, she found the girl was not there. She had a bad headache after hearing Mo Zhu’s words.

Once she went out, she heard their talk.

“Mum, stop talking.”

Looking at Lady An, An Rushuang smiled and looked extremely calm, facing up to An Yipei’s questioning sight.

Then she knelt down slowly, with lotus-green water skirt spreading on the ground like a blooming lotus.

After a while, she said slowly, “That’s true. I only have an elder brother and do not have any other siblings.”

She looked directly at An Yipei without any guilty, “Yesterday I saw her with a lady talking nonsense at our doorstep. So I just gave them some money and let them go.”

“Last night, Mummy Liu met her again and heard that her mother got drowned and was saved by others. Mummy Liu felt sorry for her, so she gave her some money and asked her to find a physician. I don’t know why she accused Mummy Liu of giving her the money to bury her mum.”

Saying so, she looked at the dying Mummy Liu at the doorsteps. With her red eyes, she choked, “Mummy Liu tried her best to help her, but. is punished severely. I do not even know whether she is alive or not. Dad, what did I do wrong? What did Mummy Liu do wrong?”

Hearing her words, An Yipei couldn’t help becoming breathless. True enough, Rushuang did not know about his affair with that woman, let alone his love child.

Mummy Liu had been working in the An Family for years and she wouldn’t do such mean things. There must have been some misunderstanding. At that time, he was too furious to figure the whole thing out when he saw Lingshan jump into the river.

The girl in plain white in front of him shed tears with her head down. Seeing this, An Yipei frowned for a while before saying, “What happened today is caused by a misunderstanding…”

“Your lordship, it’s all my fault. Please send me away!” Suddenly An Lingshan slammed her head on the ground and instantly her white head turned red.

An Lingshan cried hard, “I was being stupid. I only thought of mum drowning herself and did not think about any other things. And I even misunderstood Madam’s goodwill and offended Miss An and Mummy Liu. Now I feel so ashamed to …”

An Lingshan did not expect An Rushuang being so straightforward and daring to admit all the things she did. If she continued arguing about this, she might make his lordship annoyed. It was better to take a step back and let it go.

“Oh, my poor little girl.”

An Yipei bent over and reached out to his two girls, saying softly, “When Old Lady comes back, I’ll include your name into the An Family and you are the Second Miss An. As for Rushuang…”

He glanced at Mummy Liu and said in a low voice, “It was just a misunderstanding. You are good sisters then. Do not let others affect your relationships. Send for a good physician for Mummy Liu and give her some money. Do not bring up this matter in the future.”

Good sisters? What a good sister she is!

An Rushuang took back her hand and paid respect to his father, “Yes, dad. I’ll listen to your arrangement.”

Saying so, she turned to An Lingshan and said smilingly, “Sister, I hope you won’t be so careless in the future. Your carelessness may cost lives.”

Although she smiled, An Rushuang’s coldness made An Lingshan trembled, as cold as water she felt when jumping into the river on that morning.

She even felt that An Rushuang would kill her at any time.

Back in Liuxi Pavilion…

Zhu Xianxian came to the An Family with the physician.

For fear that Baizhi and Dingxiang might make a mistake, she decided to pick up medicines herself at Anle Pharmacy when she met Silver, who looked anxious, asking for the best physician for An Family.

Silver looked familiar to Zhu Xianxian, so Xianxian asked her about where she worked and got to know that she was the servant in An Family, so Zhu Xianxian went to the An Family together with Silver.

“How could that be?”

Looking at Mummy Liu, Zhu Xianxian could not help frowning.

Thinking of An Lingshan, Rushuang felt so annoyed and shook her head, “I didn’t expect it.”

Later, she didn’t say anything else.

She did not expect An Lingshan could be such a cruel person who could even make use of her own mum. What a good daughter she was! Human hearts are the darkest place in the world.

An Rushang looked as calm and quiet as she used to be, but Zhu Xianxian could see her anxiety when she looked at Mummy Liu.

Before entering the An Family, that illegimate girl was planning on killing Mummy Liu. What a calculating mind she had!

“Don’t worry. I just checked on her. She suffered from a lot of pains because of the wounds, but fortunately she was fine. What you need to do now is to keep calm.”

Her soft hand patted on Rushuang’s shoulder, giving warmness to her frozen body.

Breathing out slowly, An Rushang shook her head and said, “Rest assured. I’m fine. I will take back everything she owes to me.”

Her tone was like they had blood feud.

Xianxian looked at her surprisingly, only to find her determined.

After a while, a sound was heard behind the curtains. The physician in light green walked out. An Rushuang rushed forward and asked, “How is Mummy Liu?”

The physician was not old and seemed to be younger than thirty. He was tall and thin, like a stick wearing loose clothes.

With a pair of small eyes and bushy eyebrows, he looked energetic. Nodding to An Rushuang in respect, he said, “Miss An, don’t worry too much. Although it looks scary, her organs are not hurt. With medicines and enough rest, she will be fine. But…”

He hesitated before he continued.
