Chapter 8: Designing the Yiniang
The sash had not been untied earlier, and in her haste, An Qingran flung herself into Lian Jingyu's arms to act petulantly, taking the opportunity to turn the knotted sash to the back. At this moment, she was still resting in her mother's arms and not moving, her eyes turned to An Zhongtao, and her mouth said, "Father, you are so young!"
An Zhongtao shook his head and laughed bitterly: "The big festival, both you mother and daughter did not go to enjoy the lights, but hid here ......"
"Father, why are you and your Yiniang here? Could it be that the lamp is not as nice as the one in the Dong Nuan Yuan?" An Qing Ran smiled. After so many years, since her Yiniang had entered the House of An, her father rarely came here. Before, when she was young, she did not understand, but she felt glad that she had spent more time with her mother instead.
Looking at her father now, she had mixed feelings, she could still see him, her family was still together, what could be happier than that? Although she was smiling, her nose was sore.
"Didn't your mother tell us to come?" An Zhongtao froze for a moment and said. Why did he feel that something was wrong with his daughter's tone and eyes today, as if she had matured a lot, and he couldn't understand how a twelve year old could have such emotional expression in her eyes? And looking at her, a sour feeling flooded his heart for some reason.
Lian Jinrong suddenly smiled and spoke up to interrupt him, "Jiejie’s house has been decorated in such an elegant way, look at this screen, this beaded curtain is also really beautiful, perhaps this is a southern pearl?"
As she spoke, she turned the screen, reached up and lifted the beaded curtain, fiddling with it in her hands, while her eyes were not looking at the curtain, they were wandering, looking around! In her hands, the curtain was rattling.
When Lian Jingyu saw this, her body trembled slightly, An Qingran hugged her mother and finally got the knotted sash right, she stood up straight.
The others did not see Lian Jinrong, but An Qingran could see her clearly and suddenly said, "What is Yiniang looking for?"
"Looking for a wild man ......" Lian Jin Rong was originally looking while wondering where that man could be hiding. This was a little different from what was expected. Lian Jin Yu was supposed to be in bed with that man, that was what she had been told! In fact, as soon as she entered the room and saw Lian Jin Yu standing there, she was a little baffled. Everything was different from what Zhang Mama had said, but she thought that even if Lian Jingyu had had time to get dressed, the man might not have had time to escape.
Without thinking about it, during the trance, she blurted out her thoughts so smoothly that by the time she realised it was too late, all eyes were on her.
"What did you say?" An Zhongtao looked at Lian Jinrong.
Lian Jinrong opened her mouth, unable to find an excuse for a while, and her face was full of panic.
An Qingran immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "Yiniang, What kind of wild man are you catching? Is this a game? Is it a show that Yiniang arranged for everyone to have fun? Also, what do you mean by "wild man"?"
Her eyes were unmistakably pure and innocent, as if she really didn't understand.
"Ran'er, come here!" Lian Jingyu pulled An Qingran back to her side, the expression on her face was incomparably imposing, her already extremely dignified face was even more sacrosanct at the moment, she looked at An Zhongtao and said aloud : " Master, qie only want to hear one thing from you. Did qie misbehave in any way and disgrace the General? I would like to know if anyone witnessed qie doing something disgraceful? Just to think that it was the turn of a concubine to bring so many servants to catch an adulterous, whose disgrace was this? Today, if it is not explained clearly, I would like to invite someone who understands to comment on this reasoning, or perhaps the General can just give the qie a letter of divorce, so there is no need to create so many things, and let outsiders look at the joke!"
