Chapter 37
An Ming Xuan nodded when he heard his elder sister question and followed her out. After walking a few steps he grabbed the girl’s hand. While holding Qing Ran\'s hand the little boy calmed down.
An Qing Ran footsteps paused, in the end, she didn\'t push the little boy away. The two walked like this to Lan Xiao Ge.
They quickly arrived at the courtyard where two retainers were guarding the doors. An Qing Ran informed them that she wanted to see her Yiniang. The guards keeping the door hesitated.
"Please don\'t make things difficult, nobody will be blamed, father\'s ban doesn\'t prohibit Yiniang to receive visitor is it not?"
This was a poor argument. The only reason her father didn’t prohibit that woman to receive visitor was only to allow some servants to come in, not for her to freely receive visitors.
When the guards heard their Da xiao jie reasoning they somewhat felt embarrassed.
(Da xiao jie = eldest miss)
" I will take all the responsibility." Said An Qing Ran to get rid of their hesitation. In the end, they opened the door. Qing Ran stood at the step not sure whether she should go in or not.
An Ming Xuan was the one who made the decision, as he ran inside pulling her along.
Lian Jin Rong and An Yan Ran never thought that An Qing Ran would come. With a dark face, Yan Ran was complaining to Lian Jin Rong about her painting. She wasted such a good painting! She never expected that An Qing Ran could be so cold and refuse to talk in her mother’s favour.
But, as soon as she noticed An Qing Ran coming in she put on a sweet smile.
"Jie Jie! Your Mei Mei didn\'t think that Jie Jie would come to visit yiniang!"
An Ming Xuan wrapped his small arms around Lian Jin Rong waist shouting "Niang!"
Snap
The little boy held his face. Surprised he looked at his mother, his bright smile disappeared. Ming Xuan was so shocked that he even forgot to cry.
Witnessing this scene An Qing Ran was puzzled. She never expected Lian Jin Rong to hit Ming Xuan. What was that woman planning?
On the side, An Yan Ran didn’t expect her mother to react this way and froze.
Lian Jin Rong stared at An Ming Xuan
"How many time do I have to tell you! I am your Yiniang and Furen is your Niang! Don\'t you understand? Why can\'t you act properly? If you make this mistake once more, I will not forgive you!"
An Qing Ran smiled in her heart. It turned out that yiniang was acting out a play for her. If it was like this she should appreciate the show. Or maybe she should act along?
"Qing Ran, your Di Di and Mei Mei will have to rely on you from now on. They are still young and not very sensible. You should take good care of them…". Said Lian Jin Rong. An Qing Ran gave her a smile.
"Rest assured Yiniang. For Yiniang to talk like his it seems that you are going to live in seclusion." Qing Ran smile looked so innocent. Liang Jin Rong turned a little stiff at the remark but kept a grin on her face.
"This…I, these two children are not sensible so I ‘ll let you take care of them!"
"Yiniang shouldn’t worry. Even if I doesn\'t understand a thing, father and mother will teach them properly."
AnQing Ran smirked. These mother and children were they taking her for a fool?
Lian Jin Rong originally wanted to grab this opportunity and get An Qing Ran to talk in her favour to her husband. She never imagined that the usually simple and honest child would be so difficult to talk to. Was she playing the pig in order to eat the tiger?
(Chinese idiom, in this context we can just translate it as playing dumb)
As she thought about the possibility she swallowed back her words. In the meantime, An Yan Ran pulled An-Ming Xuan to scold the boy.
"Why did you go to bother Jie Jie? I told you that she had things to do, you really are a fool!"
An Ming Xuan was still a little child. Being scolded left and right he was stunned.
An Qing Ran pitied the child. Looking at this fascinating daughter and mother pair play she lost all interest.
" I will leave first, I should not bother Yiniang any further…"
"This child what are you saying? Didn’t yiniang already told you that she thought of yourself as her own child? Although this may seem like an insult to you, Yiniang just wants to let you know about her affection. Don\'t listen to the nonsense that Zhang momo said. Why would your Yiniang set up your mother? She is my Jie Jie since childhood I always respected her deeply…"
"Is that so?"
The former An Qing Ran didn\'t know anything about the things happening between adults. But the present one smirked in her heart.
