Becoming the Empress: Golden Finger Set Under My Bed

Chapter 81: Chuan Qiong’s Vigilance

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

No! She still had three years’ time! That’s enough!

Taking a sigh, An Rushuang felt she had so many questions that made her confused, but she didn’t want to ask further as she did not want to see her brother frustrated.

After a while, An Rushuang nodded and said in a low voice, “Ok. Brother, if you don’t want to tell me, then I won’t ask any more. I will wait for you at home.” Saying so, she smiled and winked at him, “I believe you will tell me about sooner or later. But if you need any help, just let me know.”

An Rushuang previously planned to tell An Qingrong about what had happened in the An Family, but too many things happened. It might be better to tell him after he went back home.

Hearing this, An Qingrong felt relieved. Looking at the girl in front of him, he patted on her shoulder, “Rushuang, you have grown up.”

When An Qingrong left home, An Rushuang was still a naive little girl spoiled by their parents. It had just been one year, but it seemed like over ten years had passed. Rushuang was so obedient and sensible that it made An Qingrong even feel somewhat sad.

Hearing his caring words, An Rushuang couldn’t help smiling and acted like a spoiled child, “Brother, I’m thirteen now.”

Surprised, An Qingrong smiled with some mockery, “Thirteen... two years later, you will be allowed to get married. Do you want to get married?”

Saying so, An Qingrong suddenly recalled some rumors in the capital. The Second Prince was said to be very close to Rushuang. Thinking so, An Qingrong couldn’t help frowning and feeling worried.

An Rushuang slightly hummed and complained, “Brother, do not make fun of me. In terms of marrying, you should be first. Oh... You always stay in the army. Is that because you want to get rid of mum’s nagging so you don’t go home?”

An Rushuang lovely winked at him.

“Fine. I got it... Brother Gu...”

An Rushuang pretended to tease him and turned to the doorstep, “I will keep the secret. Rest assured.”

Seeing An Rushuang leaving, An Qingrong suddenly felt worried and held her. Turning around, An Rushuang looked at him in confusion.

“Shuang’er, do dad and mum know that you are going to be Master Luo Qu’s disciple?”

Hearing this, An Rushuang was slightly stunned, wondering why brother would ask this question. So she subconsciously nodded. Seeing An Qingrong frowning, she hurried to explain, “I’ve told them I want to learn medical skills, but they don’t know about Luo Qu.”

Today was also the first time that An Rushuang heard about Luo Qu.

Nodding, An Qingrong did not fall into her trap, “So do they allow you to learn it?”

“They... do not object.”

Glancing at him, An Rushuang felt a bit guilty. She had just mentioned she wanted to learn martial arts to dad and if she immediately said she wanted to learn medical skills, chances were that these two proposals would both be objected. And that would be a great loss!

Looking at his younger sister, An Qingrong clearly knew what she was thinking about. Lord An was always busy with government businesses and An Qingrong was as a father-like brother to An Rushuang. Therefore, he was indeed caring for Rushuang.

Hearing this, An Qingrong shook his head and took a sigh, “Look at you! I just said you have grown up and now you’ve shown your bones.”

Smiling, An Rushuang said, “Dad knew it and he did not say no. Brother, now you also know what I want to do, so that won’t be a problem.” Saying so, she put her hands together as if she was praying to An Qingrong.

Seeing this, An Qingrong failed to pretend to be serious and smiled.

Although he still pretended to scolding her, An Qingrong couldn’t help curving his lips. He had one soft spot in his heart and that was the girl in front of him. An Qingrong, a great lieutenant in the army, could do nothing to An Rushuang.

An Rushuang also smiled and put on her hat. She stood upright, stamped her foot and gave a salute to An Qingrong, “Brother, rest assured. I won’t tell anyone about today’s issue.”

Seeing her action, An Qingrong laughed and said, “Shuang’er, if you really know Bian Wen, you should ask him for help. No one can do any help apart from him.”

An Rushuang also had the same idea, but the first thing she should do was to get the non-existent letter.

Opening the door, An Rushuang and An Qingrong found Zhao Xiaotao and Kong Qing staring at each other as if they were gaming fowl. Seeing them coming out, Zhao Xiaotao hurried to them, “Miss!”

Then Xiaotao looked up to An Qingrong without saying anything.

Leaning against the tree, Chuan Qiong took a sigh of relief after seeing An Qingrong. But he didn’t come to them while Kong Qing quickly came to An Qingrong and hugged his leg, “Big brother, are you ok?”

Seeing his reaction, An Qingrong smiled and touched his head, “I am ok.”

Hearing his response, Kong Qing finally felt relieved. An Rushuang couldn’t help curving her lips.

Although she did not know about Chuan Qiong and Kong Qing, she could tell they were sincere to her brother.

The concern and caring in children’s eyes would not lie.

Thinking so, An Rushuang turned to An Qingrong and nodded before she said to Chuan Qiong, “I will go back and bring the letter to Master Luo Qu the other day.”

Without even looking at An Rushuang, Chuan Qiong coldly hummed.

Not having seen his response, An Rushuang assumed he agreed and left First Pharmacy with Zhao Xiaotao.

Looking at An Rushuang’s fading figure, Chuan Qiong frowned and came to An Qingrong, “Do you know her? What did you say? Why were you having a private talk?”

Being thrown by so many questions, An Qingrong couldn’t help smiling bitterly and said, “I don’t know her. She saw us close, so she wanted to know something about Master Luo Qu from me.”

“Did you tell her?” Chuan Qiong asked skeptically.

“No,” An Qingrong smiled , “I just explained to her and she is sensible, so she didn’t ask me any more.”

But why you stayed in the room for such a long time? Chuan Qiong looked at An Qingrong in confusion, but he did not ask him.

Then Chuan Qiong turned back and went to the backyard angrily.

Seeing him leaving, Kong Qing looked up at An Qingrong and asked cautiously, “Is brother angry?”

Touching his little head, An Qingrong just smiled and did not answer him.

Chuan Qiong had always been like this. He was too vigilant to strange people and things. But it was not a bad thing.
