Becoming the Empress: Golden Finger Set Under My Bed

Chapter 71. Venerable Master’s Choice

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Just as the Second Prince Zhu Han went out of the room, he heard a scream and all of a sudden a girl in white was falling onto the ground. Zhu Han subconsciously held her soft waist and helped her up.

“Miss, are you okay?”

The girl seemed to be frightened and began to sob.

Tears fell down from her delicate little face as pretty as lotus rising from dew. Looking at the girl in his arms, Zhu Han couldn’t help feeling itching.

“Second Miss! Second Miss, are you okay?” Qiu Yue hurried to her and helped her up.

An Lingshan hurriedly push the man aside as if she just realized she was in his arms. Lowering her head, An Lingshan blushed and said in a low voice, “Thank you.”

Saying so, she couldn’t help taking a glance at Zhu Han. He was even more handsome than last time she saw him. With head lowered, An Lingshan even felt she was almost out of breath.

Raising his eyebrows, Zhu Han asked, “Second Miss? Of which family?”

Qiu Yue didn’t know Zhu Han, but seeing him well-dressed, she replied obediently, “Sir, this is the second Miss of the An Family.”

To his surprise, Zhu Han had never heard that there was a second Miss An.

Was she a remote relative of the An Family?

But she was indeed beautiful and worthy a taste.

Looking at the girl’s face, Zhu Han couldn’t help feeling pitiful in his heart. If he did not have to marry An Rushuang to achieve his goal, there was no need for him to control his feelings. Thinking so, Zhu Han felt a bit annoyed. Then he looked at An Lingshan with distance. This girl did not deserve him to offend the An Family!

“Take care, Miss,” said Zhu Han and he was ready to leave.

Seeing this, An Lingshan felt a little down and hurried to say, “Thank you so much. Can I have your name please? I’m Lingshan. I will visit you to express my gratitude.”

Hearing this, Zhu Han stopped and looked at her.

In the Nanqi Kingdom, names of noble girls were quite secret, which were only known by families and friends. Usually they would not reveal their name to others.

Were she not aware of it or she did it intentionally?

An Lingshan’s words also shocked Qiu Yue who turned to her and only found Lingshan looking regretful and biting her lips. Obviously she didn’t say it on purpose.

Seeing this, Zhu Han laughed out.

Stepping forwards, Zhu Han lowered his head and stared at her, “Are you sure you are not aware of it?”

Feeling his breath, An Lingshan couldn’t even hear her own heartbeat. She was at a loss of how to respond. When she regained her senses, Zhu Han already left.

Looking at the silent An Lingshan with trepidation, Qiu Yue didn’t know what to say. After a while, she asked, “Second Miss…that lecher…”

Hearing this, An Lingshan turned angry and shouted, “Shut up!”

Trembling, Qiu Yuse didn’t dare to say a word.

An Lingshan then said in a softer voice, “Keep in mind that you are not to tell anyone about that, including my mum.”

Nodding, Qiu Yue said, “Second Miss, no worries. I’ll bear that in mind. Although I am not intelligent, I know this will affect your reputation. I won’t tell anyone.”

Breathing out, An Lingshan thought it was not a bad idea for this stupid servant to misunderstand.

“So are we going to visit First Miss?”

Without replying, An Lingshan turned back and went away.

Would she be so silly to ask for humiliation in Liuxi Pavilion?

She wasn’t intending to visit An Rushuang at the first place. Thinking of Zhu Han’s smile, An Lingshan couldn’t help curving her lips.

An Rushuang had been in bed for four days, during which she did receive a lot of gifts since many people paid visits.

When she could get up from bed and walk independently, An Rushuang quickly went to the Eastern Street in a male’s suit. Hong Yu warned her several times not to go out until she recovered. Zhao Xiaotao was also against this. However, they didn’t manage to stop her. Three of them went out together.

Hong Yu and Zhao Xiaotao kept telling An Rushuang to take care of herself. An Rushuang indeed felt headache as if thousands of bees were buzzing around her.

When they arrived at Ye Chengzhi’s, Hong Yu and Xiaotao finally stopped nagging her. As usual, Hong Yu went to wash clothes for Ye Chengzhi while Xiaotao went to her mum’s room. Since Xiaotao’s former residence was too poor to accommodate them, An Rushuang asked Bian Wen to let them move into their yard. Although Xiaotao’s mum looked horrible and scary, both Bian Wen and Ye Chengzhi specialized in medicine, they would not look down on her.

Therefore, Wang Sumei, Xiaotao’s mum, moved here.

After greeting with Ye Chengzhi, An Rushuang hurried to see Bian Wen.

He was now comfortably enjoying the sunlight in the yard. Bian Wen was dressed in a grey long robe, with blanket covering on his knees. The robe looked exquisite in dark blue.

Walking to him, An Rushuang called him with a pair of smiley eyes, “Master, how are you?”

Smiling, she called him in a clean and determined voice.

Without opening his eyes, Bian Wen replied her after a while, “I would be fine if you don’t come. Don’t call me master. I have already said that I won’t take you as my disciple as you had an intention for killing.”

Saying so, Bian Wen glanced at An Rushuang and then closed his eyes.

“You look well.”

An Rushuang kept smiling at him, “Master, you said that the ancestor, venerable master, will decide whether I’m qualified last time, didn’t you?”

She remembered clearly. If she was not supervised by Hong Yu and Xiaotao, An Rushuang would have already visited him in case he backed out on her!

Squinting at An Rushuang, Bian Wen coldly hummed, “Do you really think that you can meet venerable master at any time you want? You have to wait!”

Hearing this, An Rushuang looked at him in confusion. Thinking of what Ye Chengzhi told her, she couldn’t help twitching her lips.

“Venerable master... Didn’t he pass away?”

Now it was Ye Chengzhi who was being glared at by Bian Wen.

Seeing this, Ye Chengzhi revealed a embarrassing smile before saying, “Sorry, I just said it randomly.”

Looking at each other, both Ye Chengzhi and An Rushuang had no idea what Bian Wen wanted to do.

After a while, Bian Wen counted on the fingers before saying, “Today is a good day. I planned to make the decision on venerable master’s birthday. Since you are in such a hurry, let’s do it today!”

Hearing this, An Rushuang felt somewhat uncertain. She thought Bian Wen was making up the story, but it turned out to be true.

Ye Chengzhi also looked confused, “Master, why haven’t I heard that venerable master would choose disciples?”

“You will see it today.”

Patting on the chair, Bian Wen said, “Go and get me the casket.”
