Chapter 48: Misunderstanding Is a Chance in Disguise (2/2)

Hong Yu snorted coldly. “Will Miss An use the same thing as you do?”

How would she be so careless to order Silver, who was good at nothing except for retort, to serve Miss An! Hong Yu blamed herself. Now, she would be implicated by this silly girl!

Silver was speechless while lowering her head.

“Enough, Hong Yu. You are so sharp-tongued.” An Rushuang came up slowly, staring at the maid with her clear eyes.

Ye Chengzhi, who had learned about how sharp her teeth could be, couldn’t help nodding behind An Rushuang.

Hong Yu glared at him before defending herself, “My lady, she has always been so reckless. If you don’t punish her, nothing at the Liuxi Pavilion would be kept intact!”

Silver, thrown into panic, crawled to An Rushuang before pulling her dress tightly

“My lady, show some mercy, I won’t do that again. Please forgive me!”

An Rushuang remained indifferent, turned to Silver and said, “Though it’s an unintentional mistake, I still need to punish you according to our rules. I’ll stop offering you wage for three months.”

“You’d better thank her ladyship for her mercy!” Hong Yu frowned at Yin Zi. “Otherwise, you can’t pay back the cup tea even with all of your wage in three year!”

“Thank... Thank you very much, my lady.” Silver sobbed while lowering her head, tears trailing down her cheeks.

Though saying so, Silver, her heart full of grievance, still thought it was unfair for her to be punished. As rich as the An Family, how could they reproach her before a stranger just for a tea cup...

It was lucky for her to have some money at hand, enough to support herself within the next three months.

Watching Silver leave the room with a respectful gesture, Ye Chengzhi, saying he had to take out the herbal medicines he was going to use tomorrow, bid farewell to An Rushuang in a hurry.

“My lady, should I keep an eye on her?” Hong Yu asked.

Staring at Silver’s figure fading into distance, An Rushuang shook her head. “No need for now. I will inform you when the time is right. By the way, you can mention princess Ming Xi’s invitation to her.”

Since the princess had invited both girls of the An Family, she should let An Lingshan know about it.

Scratching her head, Hong Yu was confused. “My lady, will you take that bastard girl...”

“Watch your tongue, Hong Yu.”

An Rushuang raised her voice before cutting in, “Since father has introduced her to us, she is my little sister from now on. All the people at Liuxi Pavilion mustn’t call her bastard girl anymore.”

Staring at An Rushuang blankly for a while, Hong Yu nodded when she thought of Silver. “I get it, my lady. What if Lord An misunderstand your ladyship when Silver told her about the invitation?”

“Sometimes, misunderstanding is a chance in disguise.”
