An Yuan'er hid in the corner without making a sound, intending to sneak back to her room after her brother left.
But who knew—
Suddenly, a voice came from the darkness, shouting in the direction of An Yuan'er, "Who's there?"
The older brother, who was already swaying slightly as he walked, no longer had a trace of alcohol in his eyes. His gaze was sharp as he stared directly in the direction where An Yuan'er was.
An Yuan'er didn't dare to breathe, her heart pounding wildly.
That damned An Huishou, I thought he was drunk. Turns out he was faking it.
An Yuan'er tried to fool her, but she didn't expect that An Huishou was not so easy to fool.
A flash of silver light appeared in the darkness, and An Huai seemed to draw the soft sword he always carried at his waist, launching a fierce attack towards the corner.
At the critical moment, An Yuan'er quickly spoke up: "Brother, brother, it's me!"
An Huishou almost didn't have time to sheathe his sword and mistakenly executed An Yuan'er on the spot, thinking she was an assassin.
An Yuan'er took advantage of the darkness to tidy her hair and clothes, and only walked out from the corner after confirming that everything was in order.
"Why aren't you sleeping at night? What are you doing lurking in the corner? You should thank your brother for his good skills. If you hadn't been able to stop the sword in that situation, you would have lost your life." An Huaishou's words were tinged with displeasure and accusation.
An Yuan'er secretly grumbled to herself, "I don't want to thank you. It's more suspicious of you to pretend to be drunk in the middle of the night."
However, An Yuan'er only dared to think these words in her heart; she would never dare to say them aloud.
She awkwardly touched her head and said stiffly, "The moon is beautiful tonight. I couldn't sleep after attending the wedding banquet, so I came out to admire the moon."
An Huaishou and An Yuan'er looked up at the sky at the same time, but they didn't know when, the moon had long been covered by clouds and could no longer be seen.
......
There was a moment of frozen atmosphere.
An Huaishou clearly didn't believe An Yuan'er's explanation: "My little sister is getting more and more amazing. She can actually enjoy herself without the moon. At this rate, you won't need to eat anymore, since you can fill your stomach without food."
An Yuan'er discovered that her older brother was just as good at making people angry, leaving her speechless.
An looked back and said in a deep voice, "Tell me honestly, what were you doing in the middle of the night? Guoguo isn't your identity, so it's obvious you didn't do anything good."
An Huishou is right, but An Yuan'er would never admit it.
Suddenly remembering something, she changed the subject and said, "I received a letter from Mo Ranyuan, who was far away on the battlefield, some people probably didn't receive it, right?"
An Yuan'er looked An Huishou up and down, which seemed to have a hidden meaning.
An Huaishou's face darkened, his expression turning extremely sour.
After being rejected by An Huishou, Mo Ran left and never wrote to An Huishou again.
An Huaishou could only learn of Mo Ran's safety from the battle reports sent from the court, a feeling that was not pleasant at all.
"Ahem." An Huaishou coughed lightly, seemingly casually replying, "Did she say anything else in her letter to you?"
"Of course! After all, we're best friends. Mo Ran told me..." An Yuan'er could clearly sense that An Hui was listening intently, as if afraid of missing something.
An Huaishou, annoyed that An Yuan'er had abruptly stopped mid-sentence, urged, "What did you say?"
An Yuan'er rolled her eyes at her brother, then suddenly changed her tune, saying, "Why didn't you do this earlier? When you rejected Mo Ran, weren't you quite arrogant?"
