Green Branch narrowed her eyes, about to say something, when An Jing interrupted her.
“Then let’s go inside and talk. Little sister, you and cousin Zhiyi wait for me. I need to talk to this young lady first.”
“Miss Jing—” Green Branch frowned, wanting to give a reminder, as she had a feeling that this girl had ill intentions.
Before she could even speak, Anle smiled and replied, "Alright, eldest sister, you two can chat in the manor first. I'll go with cousin Zhiyi to check out the rouge shop. We won't go to the Su family's embroidery workshop for now."
Green Branch was somewhat surprised by Anle's reaction. Given this little tyrant's temper, shouldn't he have arrested the woman and interrogated her thoroughly to find out who she was and what her intentions were? Why did he agree so readily?
Aren't you afraid she might harm Miss Jing?
Seemingly sensing Green Branch's thoughts, Anle winked at Green Branch and then left with Qiao Zhiyi.
Green Branch was stunned for a moment, then belatedly realized what was going on. Following An Jing's words, she invited the person into the mansion.
"Miss Jing, please take your people inside to talk. I'll go prepare some pastries for you."
After entering the mansion and sitting down, Ye Wan'er glanced around the hall and saw that she and An Jing were the only ones in the entire front hall. She finally breathed a sigh of relief, and tears streamed down her face. She knelt down in front of An Jing with a thud.
An Jing was stunned and completely dumbfounded. What was going on?
Why did he kneel down before her as soon as he walked in?
"Girl, get up quickly and talk things out. I can't accept you kneeling like this."
Anjing hurriedly stood up and tried to pull Ye Wan'er up, but Ye Wan'er knelt down and kowtowed, refusing to get up, and began to sob softly.
“Miss Jing, I beg you to grant my wish with Changya. We grew up together since childhood, we are childhood sweethearts, and we are deeply in love. We were already planning to get married, and besides... besides, I am already pregnant with his child.”
How am I supposed to get married in the future? I have no choice but to stay with Changya. If you refuse to let me be with Changya, then I'll have no choice but to jump into the river with my unborn child, killing both of us.
An Jing's face froze instantly. Before she could think of anything else, she only heard the last sentence: "Two lives lost, one unborn child." She was terrified.
One corpse, two lives?
The words "two lives lost" pierced her ears, and she couldn't think of anything else. She quickly helped the person up.
“Girl, what do you want to say? How did things get to this point? Get up quickly. If I can help, I certainly will.”
Ye Wan'er knelt on the ground, holding An Jing's arm, her face streaked with tears as she stared intently at An Jing, "Is what Miss Jing said true? Will you really help me? Will you really let me and Changya be together?"
An Jing paused for a moment, seemingly pondering who Chang Ya was. After thinking for a while, she finally connected the name Chang Ya with the young master of the Feng family.
Was it him?
"Miss, please get up. I've already heard about what happened between you and Young Master Feng. I promised to help him, and I will."
"Don't worry, at least I won't be an obstacle for you two to be together." An Jingrou smiled at Ye Wan'er.
Seeing that An Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief, Ye Wan'er stood up with An Jing's help and smiled through her tears.
"Thank you, Miss Jing, for making my relationship with Changya possible."
Quietly, she shook her head with a faint smile. "It's not that I made you two happy; it's that lovers are finally united, it's a blessing from heaven."
Anle and Qiao Zhiyi hadn't even had a chance to go to the rouge shop yet when they met Anjing. They only chatted for a few minutes before it was over, and then Anle stopped talking about the girl altogether, as if nothing had happened.
But the girl didn't seem to be alright at the time. She must have something to say to her older sister, especially since the girl wasn't an acquaintance but a stranger. I couldn't resist asking her out of curiosity.
"Big sister, what did that girl talk to you about? What did she want to see you about?"
She smiled quietly and shook her head.
"What's wrong? It's nothing to worry about. Don't worry, she's not trying to hurt me."
Seeing that An Jing didn't say anything, and noticing that An Jing's face was as usual, not like she was hiding anything, An Le didn't press her further.
She wouldn't say anything even when asked, so her older sister really didn't want to bring up the topic. Since her older sister didn't have any unusual reaction, then there shouldn't be anything wrong.
Although Anle felt that the girl's thoughts were worth considering, she didn't rush to delve into it. After all, her older sister was standing there alive and well, completely unharmed, and seemed to be perfectly fine. Moreover, she would go to Green Branch to find out what was going on later, and Green Branch should understand her meaning and keep an eye on things.
On the other hand, Green Branch, who was suspicious, did indeed investigate as Anle had instructed. After all, Anjing was Anman Valley's niece, and even if Anle hadn't hinted that she should keep an eye on her, the Madam couldn't possibly not ask.
Her duty as a servant to the mistress was naturally to share her master's burdens. Since such a thing had happened, she naturally wanted to get to the bottom of it and find out exactly what had happened before reporting back to the mistress.
So after Ye Wan'er left the mansion, Green Branch had already sent someone to keep an eye on her, following her all the way to find out her family background, identity, and other details.
However, she deduced these details because she couldn't find much information about Ye Wan'er in a short time, only her home address.
After inquiring about her situation from the neighbors, they figured out why she had come to their door.
In front of Su Mier, Lüzhi truthfully reported what she had investigated and what details she had deduced.
"Madam, I have already sent people to investigate this girl. She is the mistress that the young master of the Feng family keeps outside."
Rather than saying they were raised outside, it's more accurate to say they grew up together as childhood sweethearts.
This young master of the Feng family did not grow up in the manor. During the years when the current wife of the Feng family was kept as a mistress by the head of the Feng family, he grew up with this girl.
The investigation revealed a lot about her background, but this girl seemed a bit cunning, actually coming to visit Miss Jing.
Madam, shouldn't we step in and smooth things over? Isn't this affecting Miss Jing's marriage to the young master of the Feng family?
"I don't know what this girl and Miss Jing talked about, but one thing is certain: she's up to no good and definitely has ulterior motives. Perhaps because of her, she'll ruin a marriage that's almost finalized."
