"Really?" An Qingran smiled. Did she still think she was the An Qingran of the past, who had no idea what was happening between the adults?
Lian Jinrong said sincerely: "Of course, nothing is more true than this. Back then, when your mother was pregnant with you, I was the one who took care of her..."
"Aunt must have been too worried about my mother, so she married and came to take care of her herself, right?" A sneer flashed across An Qingran's lips.
The sarcasm made Lian Jinrong speechless. She looked at An Qingran and just smiled awkwardly: "This child, his words are really hard to follow. I don't know what he means..."
The next day.
In front of the general's mansion, two carriages were parked quietly. The one in front had a hood made of thick bright red silk, and the body was also lined with Jiangnan brocade of the same color. The one behind was a smaller size, and the body was only made of blue cotton cloth, which looked a little shabby.
As An Qingran walked out of the house, she saw two carriages. She pulled the cotton cloak with sable fur trim on her body and stepped on the snow in her deerskin boots, which made her feel warm and safe. The driver put a small stool on the ground. Just as she was about to step into the carriage, she heard footsteps rushing towards her from behind: "Sister, wait!"
Looking back, she saw An Yanran wearing a thin dress in the color of Concubine Yang, with a peacock feather cloak on the outside, and the phoenix-beaded hairpin on her head swaying as she ran. In the sunlight, she was dazzling, and coupled with her peerless appearance, An Qingran was shocked: in her previous life, she seemed to have never taken a good look at her. It turned out that she was really beautiful! No wonder King Kang was bewitched by her!
But her beauty is her business, she can use it as a weapon, but she shouldn't use it against me!
"Sister, you look so beautiful today!" An Yanran said with a charming smile.
An Qingran nodded: "Same to you. But what can I do for you?"
After saying that, she turned around again.
An Yanran tugged at her sleeve: "Sister, I want to ride in a carriage with you, okay?"
An Qingran understood that in her previous life, she had made such a request and she agreed without even thinking about it. In this life, she looked at the little girl in front of her and said gently, "Why do you want to ride in the same car with me?"
"My sister's car is big and warm, unlike mine which looks small. Also, I like being with my sister!" An Yanran said the first part off the cuff and then gave a flattering smile.
An Qingran shook her head slowly and firmly: "This is not good!"
An Yanran had thought that this was a sure thing, but she was suddenly rejected. She had never expected this, and her expression froze: "Sister, why? We have always been like this before..."
"Sister, you don't know that the emperor has been strictly investigating the disciplines of various mansions recently. We can't sit together now. If people know about this and spread it out, they will say that the people in the general's mansion do not distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children. That would embarrass father, isn't it?" An Qingran made her voice as gentle as possible, without revealing any ridicule.
An Yanran's expression changed several times. She looked at An Qingran, opened her mouth, but said nothing.
An Qingran continued, "I know my sister is the most sensible one and will never care about such a small matter, right?"
An Yanran finally nodded: "Then sister, be careful!"
Then he turned around and got on the carriage behind!
