Chapter 75. An Qingrong
Chapter 75. An Qingrong
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
The whip in the girl’s hand whistled against the wind, about to hit in the face of the man in white. The girl had just arrived here, but the young man would be the third victim she had hurt. What a fierce and bad-tempered girl!
Hong Yu and Xiaotao stared at the girl with eyes wide open. If this handsome man got whipped in the face, he would be disfigured for sure.
To their surprise, the man didn’t even get out of the way to avoid the whip, which made everyone present worried.
An Rushuang was also anxious, but seeing the man being so calm, she knew the man must have some tactics.
True enough! The man immediately tilted, at the same time the shabby black door was kicked open, and a big hand instantly grabbed the whip and dragged the girl off the horse. All of a sudden, the girl in red groaned, fell onto the ground and got mud all over her body. What a scene!
“Miss, if you are here for medicine, please queue up. There is no need to stay in the mud. That would be too much and it is pitiful for your clothes, isn’t it?” A low male voice resounded beside the young man.
Hearing this, the beggars around began laughing at her. The girl was so angry that she struggled to stand up to whip again.
Yet again, she fell into the mud…
Glancing at the girl, An Rushuang turned to look at the man standing beside the good-looking young man, and her eyes were then fixed on him.
The man was very tall and instantly overshadowed the young man who looked slim. Standing at the man’s side, the young man could only reach the man’s shoulder.
Dressed in a plain blue gown, the man looked firm and strong. With an upright and honest face, the man precipitously looked fierce and was now staring at the poor muddy girl on the ground without any expression.
He really had no idea of caring for beauties. However, An Rushuang was staring at the man who showed up all of a sudden.
Seeing this, Hong Yu pulled An Rushuang and said shamefully, “Miss An, even if he is handsome, you should not stare at him like this…”
Zhao Xiaotao also agreed by nodding.
What the heck? An Rushuang was not staring at him because of his good look. Xiaotao did not know him, but how could Hong Yu say that? Gnashing, An Rushuang poked Hong Yu at her forehead and said angrily, “Look carefully. Who is he?”
Hong Yu looked at the man in confusion. But after a while, she couldn’t help screaming, “Oh my god. How could that be?” Rubbing her eyes, Hong Yu could not believe what she saw, “He is Mr. An?”
The man in blue gown was now telling the girl in red about etiquette and the rule of ‘first come, first served’. He didn’t pay any attention to the girl’s current feelings. The girl was so pissed off and looked like she could faint at any second.
He was exactly Mr. An. Only Mr. An could totally ignore girls as he had been in the army for a long time.
Stepping backwards, Hong Yu anxiously pulled An Rushuang and asked in a low voice, “Miss An, shall we go now?” If they were caught by Mr. An at such a place, they would definitely be reprimanded severely by him.
Thinking so, Hong Yu even neglect why Mr. An would be here.
Zhao Xiaotao rubbed her hair and curiously looked at the man, “Mr. An? Hong Yu, you know him?”
Coming closer to Xiaotao, Hong Yu quickly reveled the man’s identity to her. Xiaotao was so surprised and began murmuring, “He is the eldest son of the An Family…”
Xiaotao had heard of Mr. An previously. Young as he was, Mr. An was now Yue Qi lieutenant, one of the eight major lieutenants. For most of the time, he lived in the army and it had been a year since he last came back. He wasn’t at the An Family yesterday; why would he be here now?
Shaking her head, Zhao Xiaotao felt strange, “Is Mr. An strict and fierce? Why are we avoiding him?”
“No… not really…” said Hong Yu. Mr. An was easygoing at usually times, but…
Hong Yu really didn’t know how to describe his temper. So she scratched her head and said, “Ah, you will know.”
Saying so, Hong Yu turned to An Rushuang, “Miss An, we’d better leave here as soon as possible…”
Glancing at her, An Rushuang said smilingly and looked at the nearby medicine stand, “Let’s first see how the story will go…”
She was indeed curious about why her eldest brother would be here rather than going home after just coming back from the army. What was he doing here?
The girl in red knew she wouldn’t win him, so she began crying and threaten them, “How could you beat me? Do you know what I am?”
The handsome young man glanced at her before he held a bowl and filled it with medicine, “The show is over. Queue up for the medicines. Stop standing here and watching.”
Looking at the woman in red fearfully, the onlookers then moved forwards for medicines after confirming she would not whip at them.
Soon An Rushuang was easy to be noticed. They walked to the crowd and tried to hide themselves. An Rushuang said to Hong Yu, “Go and get me my cap.” She didn’t want her brother to recognize her at this time.
After getting the cap, An Rushuang asked Hong Yu to find a place to hide nearby and went forward with Xiaotao.
“Miss An, why don’t you go and talk to Mr. An?” said Xiaotao in confusion.
Seeing An Rushuang putting on the cap to disguise, Xiaotao became even more confused.
Raising her eyebrows, An Rushuang looked at Xiaotao behind the curtain of the cap, “Yes, I will talk with my brother, but it’s not now.”
She had something more important to do now.
When she first saw the girl in red, An Rushuang found her familiar, but she couldn’t remember who she was. But now she saw her brother, she was suddenly reminded that the girl was so similar to Madam Meng, her brother’s wife in the previous life!
But Madam Meng was gentle and soft while the girl in front of her was so fierce. As for the appearance, the girl seemed to be slightly different from what An Rushuang remembered.
An Rushuang didn’t have a close relationship with Madam Meng because her brother married Madam Meng after Rushuang entered the imperial palace. So An Rushuang only saw her a few times. Now seeing this, An Rushuang was so curious about what kind of person Madam Meng was that could let her eldest brother propose to her.
Walking to the girl in red, An Rushuang slowly stopped and looked at them quarreling, “Miss, if you want to ask for diagnosis, why not go to Mercy Pharmacy? It is not far from here. Why bother going to this place? Everyone knows that the First Pharmacy is not a place for diagnosis.”
Previously the girl was angrily staring at the man. Hearing this, she turned to An Rushuang, “It’s none of your business. I will ask for diagnosis at the First Pharmacy today!”
An Rushuang couldn’t help twitching her lips. What a woman! She was both immune to the stick and the carrot.
Xiaotao also turned angry, “What are you saying?”
The man smiled sarcastically, “Ask for diagnosis? It is the first time for me to see such a novel way to ask for something.” Even if the First Pharmacy diagnosed for patients, physician would have already been irritated by the woman!
“Leave here! First Pharmacy is not for diagnosis,” said An Qingrong in a low voice as if he was the owner.
Hearing this, An Rushuang was a little surprised. It seemed her eldest brother knew a lot about the First Pharmacy!
