Becoming the Empress: Golden Finger Set Under My Bed-Chapter 4: Second Prince’s Visit

Translator: Sissy That Walk

But now the woman had not entered the An Family and the whole thing was not irreversible. An Rushuang looked at Mo Zhu with her eyebrows slightly knitted, “Do you know where they were allocated?”

Being stared by such a pair of glass bead-like eyes, Mo Zhu couldn’t help but subconsciously replied “They live in Changting Pavilion...”

“Madam, why do you ask this? My lady, please forget these words. You shouldn’t know this.” Said Mo Zhu regretfully holding An’s sleeves.

Playing with her nails, An smiled and said perfunctorily “I am just curious...”

In her previous life, she just knew that the woman and her daughter soon were accepted in the Family right after they moved to the capital. But she didn’t know that they had been living in the Changting Pavilion for quite a long time.

Although Changting Pavilion was not a luxurious residence, it was still an elegant place to live. Of course, the cost of living was naturally high.

She murmured coldly “Oh! My father is indeed generous!”

Hearing her tone, Mo Zhu felt a bit stunned and when she was about to say something, the madam had already opened the curtain and went in.

Her face was full of innocence, totally free of previous coldness.

“I heard Mo Zhu saying dad and mum have something important to discuss. What happened? Why can’t I know? Is that brother is coming home?”

Mo Zhu chuckled, considering madam did ask a good question.

In the An Family, apart from the Old Lady who was taking care of packing in Mohe, the Eldest Son was the person Lord felt tough to deal with.

The Lord studied and specialized in art while his eldest son learnt martial arts since he was a child and he was so talented that he managed to join the army when he was fourteen and he came home once a year thereafter. The last time Lord met him was when the Eldest Son was promoted to Yue Qi lieutenant, one of the eight major lieutenants, and he would soon come to work in the capital. Lord’s current glory was closely associated with his son’s success. However, the Eldest Son was straightforward and outspoken. So if the Lord wanted to take concubines, he had to take his son’s opinion into consideration.

Lady An turned around and looked at the doorsteps, seeing her girl walking elegantly to her in plain white dress. Her skin was as fair as the jade and she looked shyly with her beautiful eyes and cherry-like lips.

Looking at her little girl, Lady An smiled and said lovingly, “I’ve told you many times. You have now grown up and you need to learn some rules and behave well.” Her voice sounded rough probably because she cried just now.

With mixed feelings, An Rushuang couldn’t tell how she felt right now. At this time, her mum’s smile at death in her last life appeared repeatedly in her mind...

Suddenly she felt uncomfortable and rushed into Lady An’s hug.

“Mummy!”

Lady An was upset just now but after seeing her lovely daughter, she was much better. She hugged An, but she felt something wet and an idea suddenly popped up——“Has she already known?”

Seeing her daughter’s tearful eyes, Lady An heard her saying “Mummy, I had a nightmare last night...” 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

On hearing this, Lord An (An Yipei) couldn’t help laughing and his previous stress was all wiped out “Little Shuang is approaching 15 and now you are a grown-up. And you still come to us crying when you have a nightmare?”

Hearing this, An Rushuang lowered her head and after a while, she looked up to her dad “Daddy, I have an idea that help me free of nightmares!”

Hearing this, An Yipei laughed and said “Tell us. What is that?”

“As long as daddy allows me to learn martial arts and medical care, I won’t have nightmares any longer!”

She looked straight at An Yipei as if stars could be found in her eyes.

To his surprise, An Yipei asked “Why?”

“As long as I can be as strong as brother, I won’t be afraid of anything!”

An Rushuang looked into his eyes and smiled like a blooming red plum.

Chuckling, An Yipei touched her hair and said perfunctorily “You are little now and we can talk about it later. Have breakfast first.”

Looking at his face, An Rushuang agreed obediently, knowing this could not be done overnight.

When having meals, An sat closely beside her mum. She had been eating hay for a long time. Now she couldn’t move her eyes off when seeing such a splendid feast.

Lady An saw An was happy about the dishes, so she kept putting food in her bowls and ignoring her own husband...

At this time, Mo Zhu’s voice was heard outside. Maybe it was because she had been a horse before, her listening was extremely good.

“Mo Zhu, who’s outside?” asked An.

At the same time, Mo Zhu happily came in and said “Lord, Lady and madam, it was the concierge. He said Second Prince sent a letter saying he would visit in the morning today!”

Hearing him, all of them turned silent.

Mo Zhu might think it was good to stay close with prince, but in An Rushuang’s view, daddy couldn’t be happier to get rid of Second Prince as he was just promoted and it was absolutely inappropriate to be close to prince privately when he just went into the capital.

But now that he had been in this big dyeing tank, it was not easy for him to stay aloof from matters like this.

“Second Prince had already come yesterday. Father, you’ve made this appointment with him today?”

An Yipei also couldn’t figure it out and said slowly but with strong anxiety, “He asked me something yesterday and there was actually nothing substantial, but he said we’ve had a nice talk and would like to pay another visit...”

Lord and Lady looked into each other’s eyes and frowned, the Second Prince was giving them a headache.

Now all the princes had not turned twenty yet. So everyone was quite clear about the overt and covert partisan disputes. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

The Crown Prince was extremely sick and lived on rare medicines. Therefore, the Second Prince was the best candidate when Third Prince and Fourth Prince, the twins, were not interested in politics at all, immersing themselves in horse-riding and hunting. And the Fifth Prince was too young to be a threat.

Seeing daddy’s tightly knitted eyebrows, An couldn’t help but laughing for a while in the bottom of her heart in a naughty way.

“How are you, daddy? Are we going to accept or decline Second Prince’s visit?” said An word by word and looked at An Yipei.

Of course, she knew dad’s worries, but being hesitant is one of the biggest shortcomings of dad. So she must be straightforward and give him a blow when necessary!
