Translator: Storm in a Teacup
It was the first time Lord An slapped her in the face since they met each other. Madam Zhang was so panicked that she suddenly went on her kneels.Helping her mother up, An Lingshan cried to beg Lord An, “Dad, mum has nothing to do with this issue. It"s all my fault. I do not know why there are two invitations and I have no idea why there is an invitation from Princess Mingxi under my trousseau…”
Full of tears, An Lingshan cried as if she had been severely wronged.
“Daddy, you trust in my sister. So do I. But sister also got an invitation, why are you so sure it was mum who tried to play sister and I against each other?!”
Not realizing An Yipei"s anger, An Lingshan kept defending herself as if she was upholding justice.
Throwing the invitation to her, An Yipei said coldly, “Humph! Look what you did! I am tired now. Just leave, all of you.”
Touching his forehead, An Yipei went away with Lady An to the inner room.
An Lingshan picked up the invitation which looked exactly the same as the other. However, when she opened it, the contents were totally different. One was the invitation for them; the other was a declining letter.
It was An Rushuang"s declining letter for Princess Mingxi. She said that she felt unwell these days and An Lingshan would attend the banquet instead.
How could this be?!
This time An Lingshan lost the battle completely, directly falling into An Rushuang"s trap.
Looking up deeply at An Rushuang for a while, An Lingshan suddenly stood up and went away. Seeing this, Madam Zhang called her and followed her away.
Now An Rushuang could finally feel relieved. Suddenly she felt the headache came back like tornado, making her body as stiff as a heavy stone.
“Miss An, let"s go back. You suffered a lot today.” Saying so, Hong Yu patted on her own head, “Oh, Mr. Ye is still outside. I asked him to diagnose for you after everything settles down…”
But she didn"t expect An Lingshan would make such a scene just now. They had not done anything.
“Then call him in. Xiaotao is also injured.”
An Rushuang knew today would not be a good time to ask dad to help Xiaotao. It would be better to put it off to tomorrow when the case was dealt with. It would not be too late.
Thinking so, An Rushuang turned back but suddenly she felt feeble and her head was dizzy before she heard Hong Yu and Xiaotao screaming and everything became vague to her.
Seeing this, Hong Yu reached out to feel An Rushuang"s head and was shocked, “She got a fever!” An Rushuang was so feverish as if she was a burning fire.
Hearing the screams, Lord An and Lady An also came out to see what happened. On seeing Rushuang falling on the ground, Lady An instantly became tearful. An Yipei immediately lifted her up and said in a low voice, “Zhong Yi, send for a physician.”
Wiping her tears, Hong Yu said, “Lord An, there is a physician outside Liuxi pavilion. Miss An is badly injured. The physician is for her. But Miss An insists to see you first… and she is…”
Hong Yu couldn"t even finish the whole sentence. She cried in a low voice.
Hearing this, An Yipei felt more guilty. He softly put Rushuang to the bed, but when he stood upright, he found that his hand was full of blood!
“Blood! My sweetheart…” Seeing this, Lady An suddenly fainted. It"s been a terrible day for her. Anger and fear had made her overwhelmed.
At the moment, everything fell into a chaos.
When they came back to see An Rushuang, they found there was something wet at the back of her head. It must be Zhao Laoda who failed to control his force. Zhao Laoda thought An Rushuang was a man and he did not pay attention to the force. With hair bound up, An Rushuang also did not realize the injury, which made her even lose consciousness now.
Thinking so, Hong Yu sobbed, “It must be Zhao Laoda!”
Standing beside, Zhao Xiaotao said in a low voice, “It"s all my fault. I"m so sorry… she wants to help me, but I hurt her… I"m so sorry…”
At this time, Xiaotao thought of her mum in the jail. She couldn"t help crying out.
“Stop crying! There is no point crying at this time!”
An Yipei said, “Tell me what happened today. I want to hear the whole story!”
Hong Yu and Zhao Xiaotao told what they knew respectively to An Yipei before they cried even sorrowfully.
“So Rushuang was kidnapped…”
An Yipei couldn"t help saying in a trembling voice. He saw her embarra.s.sment and messy look, but he didn"t ask what happened. Instead what he did was to scold her.
“Lord An, it"s all my fault…”
Saying so, Zhao Xiaotao knelt in front of An Yipei “I should have persuaded her. she told me she would find solutions for me when she"s back home. I suppose she"s gonna find you, your lords.h.i.+p. I should have stopped her. If I stopped her, she would not be like this.”
Sighing, An Yipei shook his head, “No, it"s not your fault. Rushuang is always kind-hearted. Your mum saved her and she is the saviour of the An Family. I will bear this in mind.”
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaotao hurried to thank him.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yi dragged a man into the room who kept shouting “Do not drag me. I won"t run away…”
On entering the room, he saw Hong Yu sobbing sadly before he found there were two lying on the bed, both of whom looked pale. He quickly went to the bedside and diagnosed for them.
“Lady An is okay. She has been scared too much. She will be fine after a good rest. But…”
Looking at An Rushuang, Ye Chengzhi couldn"t help sighing. Seeing this, An Yipei frowned and said, “Tell us! How"s my daughter?”
Shaking his head, Ye Chengzhi said, “Lord An, it"s hard to say. Miss An does not have too many injuries but she was. .h.i.t at the back of the head. I can prescribe some medicines for her to cure the injuries in case she is left with those scars. But as for the injury on the head, let"s wait and see if Miss An will wake up tomorrow.”
Even if his master Bian Wen was here now, he could hardly figure out what happened with her head, let alone Ye Chengzhi. How pitiful she was!
Looking at An Rushuang lying unconsciously, Ye Chengzhi also felt sorry for her.
“What do you mean?!” An Yipei said furiously as if it was Ye Chengzhi who hurt his daughter.
