However, she was unexpectedly bold that she came in with a basket of vegetables in hand from the front door. It was dark outside and the vegetable was not fresh anymore.
The doorman knew her, so he didn"t make trouble for her.
Hong Yu had been waiting at the door for hours. She quickly came for her and said "Where have you been? Madam is looking for you!"
Without changing her facial expressions the slightest bit, Cui Liu replied smilingly "Madam does not have much of an appet.i.te these days and I suddenly came up with a dish, so I went out for some materials."
Hearing this, Hong Yu nearly rolled her eyes up and sighed silently, thinking at this point you are still lying, I couldn"t help you.
"Fine. Hurry up! Madam must have been waiting for a long time!"
They rushed to madam and on their way, Cui Liu"s clothes was messed up due to Hong Yu"s drag.
"Is that Cui Liu? Come in!"
Cui Liu"s cheeks were slightly red due to the flurry. When entering the room, she thought if madam asked, she could just repeat her excuse.
Thinking so, she felt relieved.
However, An Rushuang didn"t ask anything. Instead, she just stared at her coldly with a little sarcasm hanging on the face.
Being stared for a while, Cui Liu felt nervous. Looking at her two sides, she saw Mammy Liu was standing beside her while Hong Yu was outside. She said "I…I bought some vegetables to cook dumplings for madam…"
By the slanting light of the warm twilight, Cui Liu saw An Rushuang smiled.
"Tell us what Second Prince promised you?"
Hearing "Second Prince", Cui Liu turned pale. But she still tried her utmost to stay calm and shook her head "Sorry madam, I do not understand what you mean…"
An Rushuang looked at her pitifully as if she was looking at herself in the past.
When An first came into Prince Palace, she fell sick and her health condition went poorer and poorer. Zhu Han said he was so concerned and distressed seeing her sick. He didn"t go for other concubines but accompanied her every day, which made him seem so caring.
However, the most ironic thing was that Cui Liu was pregnant three months later!
At that time, she was indeed silly. In terms of Cui Liu"s pregnancy, Zhu Han said he was really regretful and it was all due to his drunk state that he made such an unreasonable mistake. And then, An believed whatever Zhu said and agreed to level up Cui Liu to his concubine.
Hearing Cui Liu"s excuse, Mammy Liu was so angry that she came forward and kicked her!
"What a faceless b.i.t.c.h! Look what is this?"
Being kicked and thrown something at the face, Cui Liu felt sad and looked forwards. When she saw the thing, she s.h.i.+vered. What was thrown on the floor was exactly a stone wrapped with green cloth.
"Do you recognize this?"
Cui Liu turned rigid and pale, saying "It"s not mine…or maybe the stone sc.r.a.ped my clothes…I don"t know…"
Laughing coldly, An Rushuang thought Cui Liu was such a talented liar that she could even make up a story in front of solid evidences!
An didn"t say anything more. She took a tea cup and threw it to the ground. Crack! The cup was in pieces in front of Cui Liu!
Cui Liu got the wet tea all over her. She trembled and went down on her knees.
"Madam！Madam! Second Prince forced me to do this. I was just a small potato. How could I resist…"
While saying, Cui Liu thought if Second Prince knew this, he would protect her.
"How could you resist his sweet words?"
"Madam, it was just a one-time lapse. I just told him about your whereabouts and that was it. Please forgive me once for Lady An"s sake!"
Hearing her words, An Rushuang laughed. It was just a one-time lapse?
When she forced her to have sterilization in Prince Palace in the last incarnation, was that also a one-time lapse？
After a while, An said slowly "Do not count on my mum. I have told her the whole thing and I could punish you at my discretion."
Now Cui Liu felt panicked.
Previously she thought that An Rushuang was the madam of the An Family and she was the bride girl of Lady An. So Lady An should be responsible for the punishment.
However, she didn"t expect An was such a schemer.
Looking at An fiercely, Cui Liu said "I know that madam also fancy Second Prince, but I could be a concubine. Second Prince and I have already vowed to each other and I am willing to suffer any injustice for him. If madam could not even tolerate this, then it is possible that everyone in the capital would regard you as an envier!"
What Cui Liu said was indeed shameless and vicious.
Hearing her words, Mammy Liu was so angry that she slapped her in the face!
"Son of a b.i.t.c.h!"
Cui Liu"s face turned swollen quickly, which made her look messy. But she still stared at An Rushuang as if they were sworn enemies.
Looking at Cui Liu, An felt sad for her and somewhat funny. She said "Now that you said you both vowed to each other, Second Prince must care for you most. Why he still let you be a servant here?"
Cui Liu had already lost her mind. She said madly "Do not be rampant! He"s just trying to use you as a s.h.i.+eld and he is sincere to me! "
What a stubborn woman!
"Fine! What if we have a bet?"
"In what way?"
Hearing this, Cui Liu"s eyes turned bright. Although An Rushuang was pretty, she was still green now. An could only be regarded as comely while herself was an addict to the Prince…
"I"ll send you to the largest brothel in the capital and I"ll let Second Prince know. Within three days, if he comes for you, you"ll be a free person in the future who has no links with the An Family. If he does not turn up in three days…"
"You have to stay there until the end of your life." said An with her red lips.
Hearing "until the end of your life", Cui Liu fl.u.s.tered. No woman would like to stay in a brothel which was like a deep hole and everyone wanted to climb up. Even if they managed to climb out, they were still the lowest servants in the society.
Cui Liu sat on the ground like messy mud. She scratched the floor with her fingers as if her hatred would soon pour out with her blood. What she was saying was all slanders towards An Rushuang.
Cui Liu was on the edge of despair and suddenly she did not have too much trust in Second Prince as previously.
She didn"t stop staring at An Rushuang until she was dragged out by other servants.
Now An Rushuang sat in the ambience of candles and showed an unfathomable look.
