Chapter 44: I Only Lied To You This Time (2/2)

Nanny Liu signaled Hong Yu by waving her hand, asking her to take the maids outside.

“Since you have already learned about that girl’s identity, please promise me never to confront with her directly. She is quite calculating and sophisticated. You must tell me if anything happens. I am not afraid of death. I would rather kill her than watch you being bullied.”

An Rushuang, being stupefied, was greatly touched by Nanny Liu’s words, as if a huge tide struck her heart. She tried her best to withdraw her hand, but Nanny Liu refused to let go of her by seizing An Rushuang’s hand firmly with both of her hands.

“Promise me, my lady. Promise me...”

Nanny Liu repeated again and again.

An Rushuang raised her head slowly, staring at Nanny Liu with the corner of her eyes still a little red. “No way,” she uttered the two words in resoluteness by moving her cherry lips. An Rushuang gazed at Nanny Liu’s eyes which were filled with sorrow and held her hands fast, “Nanny, no matter how she is good at plotting against others, her tricks will be known to the public if we keep upright and honest. She would definitely be punished for all of her wrongdoings, including framing you up. I remembered clearly what she has done to us. There is no need for you to dirty your hands by killing her. I would make her pay the price someday.”

An Rushuang straightened herself, like a fearless general.

Deeply impressed by An Rushuang’s imposing manner, Nanny Liu couldn’t help nodding. Only after Nanny Liu regained her consciousness did she look at the young girl before her carefully. An Rushuang really had changed. Having no idea whether it was good or bad, Nanny Liu merely knew that such a girl could make her set her mind at ease.

Perhaps, it was good.

“My lady, you have grown up,” Nanny Liu nodded while taking a long sigh.

The beautiful girl just snickered by rippling her lips before holding mother Liu’s arms fast. “So you are willing to take my advice?” An Rushuang asked in a sweet voice.

Nanny Liu smiled, some vigor appearing on her sallow face. “Okay, okay. I will follow your orders when I recover from the disease,” she added then, “Go back as soon as possible, or as weak as you will catch disease at this gloomy room.”

Snuggling up to Nanny Liu, An Rushuang responded, smile gradually retreating from her lips. Sorry, Nanny Liu, she said in her heart.

I only lied to you this time.
