Volume 1: Gathering Winds of Splendor Chapter 13: The East Window Incident

  With a calm and composed expression, she raised an eyebrow, her heart skipping a beat, but her face remained unchanged. She spoke in a righteous tone, "Mother, it's that shameless Liu Xuan who ran around the village with his pants down, it has nothing to do with me. Perhaps the heavens themselves couldn't stand his arrogant appearance and decided to punish him."

  An Su somewhat amusing, raised an eyebrow and said with a threatening tone, "It's better not to be, if it's really you who did it, you'll ruin someone's reputation for life, are you going to take responsibility for that?"

  "I." Anxin's eyes widened in shock, the word "靠" almost slipped out, a curse nearly burst forth, but he forcibly swallowed it back down, suppressing the violent anger in his heart. He squeezed out a strained smile and said, "Is it worth it? A big old man is just a few bones, nothing to look at. Besides, Liu Xuan isn't some delicate little girl, why would anyone be responsible for him? Does he think he's as handsome as a celestial being? With his looks, even if he were sold as meat in the market, he wouldn't fetch more than a few copper coins. Whoever marries him must have dug up their ancestors' graves in their past life and is now suffering retribution."

  An Xin couldn't help but let her sharp tongue get the better of her in front of An Su, and by the time she came to her senses, it was too late.

  An SuSu shot An Xin a disdainful glance, rubbed her forehead, rolled her eyes and let out a long sigh, saying "It's none of my business who Liu Xuan will marry in the future, but you're becoming more and more unseemly. Is it only you as a young lady who can say such bold words? Who is it that has no shame or reserve?"

  Ashamed and anxious, years of pretending were ruined in an instant. Even if I was bold on the outside, I was always reserved when facing An Su Su, but as soon as Mother said I had to take responsibility for that big mouth, my heart surged with anger and I accidentally blew my cover.

  She had only heard that men are responsible for women, but today she heard for the first time that women who look at men's bodies also need to take responsibility? Then what about all those old ladies and young wives who looked this morning, don't they all have to be responsible for him? Besides, didn't she leave Liu Xuan with his underwear on?

  With a reluctant look, hanging his head down, pouting his mouth, and rolling his white eyes.

  Ansu An looked at Anxin's face and couldn't help but stop what she was doing, looking at her suspiciously with narrowed eyes. "You didn't really do it, did you? It's all over, looks like you'll have to marry Liu Xuan." Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Anxin's eyes widen in shock, and Ansu couldn't help but feel a secret delight. She continued to sigh and lament, "The two of you grew up together since childhood, innocent and carefree, with feelings for each other. Becoming a couple would be a rare beautiful story in our village."

  Ansu Ansu's words were 30% true, 30% false, and the rest was sentimental. For a moment, I couldn't quite grasp my mother's real thoughts.

  "Mother, you're not serious, are you?" An Xin shook her head like a rattle drum, asking in disbelief.

  At ease, vomiting blood, husband has feelings and concubine has intentions? What kind of international joke is this? Liu Xuan doesn't know if she has feelings for herself, but towards that big mouth Liu Xuan, apart from being full of resentment and disdain, there's not a bit of intention.

  It's rare to see this daughter look so defeated, An Su Su was overjoyed and let out a long, exaggerated sigh. "I'm telling the truth, after all, you're already 10 years old, Liu Xuan is also someone I've watched grow up, with excellent character and talent. Since ancient times, parents' orders and matchmakers' words have been followed, think about it carefully."

  What? She was so shocked that she was speechless, and An Su's words were like a precision-guided missile that directly hit her head, knocking her out cold. The whole person seemed to be in a daze, as if she was floating outside the nine heavens.

  Is development good at 10 years old? Can you start getting married at 10 years old? Or with Liu Xuan? Her brain was filled with messy questions.

  "Alright, don't think about it anymore, Mother was just teasing you." Seeing An Xin looking like a wooden chicken, An Su couldn't bear to tease her anymore and opened his mouth with a pained expression.

  "Mother, I knew you wouldn't marry me off to that big-mouthed guy. Think about it, I'm a stunning beauty, with a gentle and virtuous nature. I was born to bring salvation to all living beings, not to be someone's wife and child-bearer. Liu Xuan can't afford a great goddess like me." Seeing her mother was just joking, An Xin immediately regained her composure and spoke with a pleased tone.

  Can't take this daughter anymore, An SuSu disdainfully pursed her lips, suddenly thought of something, beautiful eyes gleaming with a flash, turned her head to look straight at An Xin.

  "What's wrong, Mother?" An Xin asked cautiously, taken aback by An Su's sharp gaze.

  "What's wrong with you, you scoundrel! How dare you be so presumptuous and do such a despicable thing!" An SuSu stepped forward, her slender hand grasping An Xin's delicate earlobe, her angry voice rising.

  She let out a muffled hum, not daring to hide or unable to hide, and secretly thought, "I'm in trouble." She was startled by her mother and the truth came out. Wasn't this equivalent to admitting that she was the one who had stripped Liu Xuan's pants? Would her mother think she was a female version of a flower thief?

  "Good mother, this is not Liu Xuan secretly reporting to me behind my back. I really can't bear it anymore. In this life, what I least tolerate are people who secretly report on others. If such a person is not taught a lesson, he may betray his country." Anxious and worried, Yingying's eyes were filled with tears as she said this.

  "Hmph." An Su couldn't help but laugh, regardless of whether she was right or wrong, in her heart it seemed to be a matter of fact.

  "Alright, that's the end of it. Don't let me hear you taking revenge on Liu Xuan again, got it? Especially not with such despicable and shameless behavior." An SuSu withdrew her hand from twisting An Xin's ear and warned, "Otherwise, next time I won't let you get away with it so easily."

  "Alright, alright, I know. From now on, he'll walk his own small wooden bridge and I'll cross my own Yangguan Pass. The well water won't interfere with the river water." Anxin rubbed her reddened earlobe and didn't dare say another word, hastily nodding vigorously to guarantee it.
