After walking out of the accounting office, An Xin still felt a little dizzy.
No wonder, the dowry was too much! It was enough to buy a store in an entire continent...
After having dinner with Old Madam An, An Xin took Nanny Zhang back to her own courtyard to learn how to manage the household.
Nanny Zhang is an old lady brought by Madam An from the Yingguo Mansion. She has been serving Madam An since she was a child and has always supported her with all her heart.
On weekdays, she cares more about Anxin, so Anxin also respects Nanny Zhang more.
Originally, An Xin thought that being a housekeeper was a relatively simple job, but after listening to Nanny Zhang talk about a lot of etiquette, An Xin felt overwhelmed...
Fortunately, Su Ya came to the mansion to find An Xin, and Nanny Zhang let An Xin go for a while.
As soon as Su Ya came in, she saw An Xin looking sad, and said, "You're going to be the bride tomorrow! Why are you so sad?"
An Xin sighed and said, "Just now, I was learning the ways of housekeeping with Aunt Zhang, and it gave me a headache... This feels more difficult than the things I did at Yaxin Pavilion and the tea house! I feel like I'm going bald!"
"You have been like this since you were a child. You don't like these..."
Su Ya replied, taking a box from the maid behind her and placing it in An Xin's hand.
An Xin looked at the box in her hand and asked in confusion: "What is this?"
"You'll know once you open it..." Su Ya said mysteriously.
An Xin opened the box in confusion and found that there were some house deeds and land deeds inside, about two or three houses and dozens of acres of fertile land.
"This... I can't accept it!"
Having said that, An Xin quickly returned the box.
Su Ya was a little unhappy when she saw this. She looked at An Xin and said, "What do you mean? Do you think it's too little? Take it! If you give it back, you'll be looking down on me!"
After saying this, he paused for a moment, then pointed at An Xin's forehead and said, "An Xin, you bad girl, you didn't even tell me about such a big thing as getting married! I also heard about it from others today, so I hurriedly took some as a dowry for you..."
“Sister, I…” An Xin still felt unworthy and wanted to refuse again.
"Girl, why don't you understand what I'm saying? Take it quickly..."
Su Ya withdrew her hand angrily and sat on a stool beside her.
With no other choice, An Xin had to accept it.
Seeing Su Ya's expression of "waiting for you to explain to me", An Xin had to apologize: "Sister, I was wrong about this matter. In fact, I was also confused the moment I received the marriage decree. I don't know how things have developed to this point..."
Seeing that Su Ya ignored her, An Xin continued, "You also know that I disappeared before because I was being hunted by someone, and was later rescued by Prince Zhao..."
Su Ya was finally willing to talk to An Xin. After a sigh, she said, "I also knew about your disappearance. I sent some servants and guards to look for you. I also knew that you were rescued by Prince Zhao. I was just angry that I heard about such a big thing as getting married from someone else..."
Then he stood up and walked over to An Xin, saying: "I have been estranged from the sisters in the mansion since I was a child. You are one year younger than me, and I have always regarded you as my own sister. Your actions have undoubtedly hurt my heart..."
"Sister, I was injured during the few days I was missing. As soon as I returned home, my grandmother called me to give her a lecture. Since then, I have been taught the rules and regulations and have been responsible for the affairs of the mansion. I really don't have time to look for you, sister. This is indeed Xin'er's fault. I hope you can forgive me..."
An Xin felt very guilty looking at Su Ya, thinking that she had not done things carefully enough.
When Su Ya heard that An Xin was injured, she planned to come over immediately to check An Xin's wound.
Seeing this, An Xin quickly replied: "Sister, I'm fine."
Su Ya heard this, took An Xin's hand, sat down together, and said: "You really make me worry..."
The two chatted for a while and then Su Ya left. After all, tomorrow was An Xin's wedding day, and An Xin's wedding was held very hastily, so Su Ya didn't want to disturb An Xin too much.
After studying for a whole day, Anxin returned to her room very late.
At this time, Yingzi also quietly brought the medicine. She carefully handed it to Anxin, with a very complicated look in her eyes.
This is the pregnancy-preserving medicine that Anxin sent Su Ya to secretly go out of the house to buy. In order to prevent it from being discovered by someone with ulterior motives, Anxin asked Yingzi to disguise herself layer by layer and went to several pharmacies before she gathered and cooked the pregnancy-preserving medicine.
"Miss..." Silhouette called out worriedly to An Xin.
"No traces were left, right?" An Xin asked.
"No one will notice." Jianying knew that Anxin was referring to the pregnancy-preserving drugs.
"Miss, this medicine is still very hot. Please let it cool for a while before drinking it..." Yingzi replied considerately.
"Okay." An Xinfan replied indifferently, looking very tired.
Silhouette was about to leave. Although she was very curious, she would support whatever the young lady did.
Just as Yingzi was about to leave, she heard Anxin say in a tired voice: "Yingzi, I'm a little tired..."
"Miss..." Silhouette felt very distressed.
"This child is already three months old..." An Xin chuckled, with sarcasm on her lips.
"Three months?" Silhouette was very shocked. He calculated the time silently in his mind. Isn't this the day of the old lady's birthday
An Xin handed the medicine to Yingzi and asked her to put it on the table. Then she touched her belly and said, "Yes, it's been three months. According to the time calculation, it's just the right time for grandma's birthday..."
An Xin's words made Silhouette more certain of his guess.
Silhouette asked carefully: "So the lady disappeared for a while that day, is it..."
Silhouette didn't dare to say anything more, this was all too horrible...
An Xin felt bitter when she heard this, and said sarcastically: "Yes, I was framed. Fortunately, I ran away, otherwise..."
"What about the child? Miss, your cousin is getting married tomorrow... What about Prince Zhao?" Yingzi asked with a nervous heart.
"That day, he saved me..." An Xin said, rubbing her temples with her hands.
Silhouette instantly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, that's not bad. Then she asked in confusion: "But, Miss, when I was helping you dress, I clearly saw the toad blood on your shoulder?"
"I made that..." An Xin explained.
Then, An Xin instructed Yingzi: "Starting tomorrow, you will secretly collect some medicinal herbs for me..."
"What medicinal herbs? Are they the same as today?" asked Silhouette.
"Medicine that delays the birth of a child by one or two months..."
An Xin took out the hair ornaments from her head and said slowly. Then, she said: "We must not let anyone question his origins..."
Silhouette asked worriedly: "Miss, what harm will this medicine cause?"
"No!" An Xin said firmly.
It won't hurt the child, but it will hurt her own body.
"That's good. I will be careful and won't let anyone find out about this!" An Xin heard this and thought that as long as this matter didn't hurt the young lady and the young master, it would be fine.
"You should also go to bed early. You will have to accompany me for a tiring whole day tomorrow." He said to the silhouette while playing with his hair with his hands.
"Then I'll take my leave!" Silhouette turned and left.
At this time, An Xin said to Yingzi, her voice vague and distant: "Yingzi, if one day I am no longer here, please be sure to protect my child. You can leave now."
After hearing this, Silhouette closed the door and asked, "Why did the lady say such strange things?"
A strange feeling flashed through my mind, but only for a moment. I couldn't grasp what it was.
