Chapter 346
"If I bring unnecessary trouble to you two because of my selfishness, it will be my fault."
"I am very conflicted and I really don't know what to say."
She pressed her eyes and wiped away the tears that had not yet come out, and soon her eyes turned red.
"Since I learned the news, I have been terrified every day."
"But my ability is limited. I don't know how to confirm whether this news is true or false?"
"I don't even know how I should face this news if it's true."
Mrs. An saw someone showing weakness and quickly took advantage of the opportunity: "You silly girl! If that's the case, why don't you speak out? After you speak out, we can all help you share the burden, and you won't be so depressed."
"We are as close as a family. We should have more contact and visit each other more often. It's so awkward to talk about whether we are involved or not!"
Mrs. An sighed and played the emotional card.
"I also told you the truth. The daughter I have now is not my biological daughter."
"Instead, she was secretly replaced by the nanny who used to serve my daughter."
"Now I don't dare to do anything to her, and I don't have any substantial evidence. Even the law can't help me."
"I don't even know where my biological daughter is now, whether she is still alive, and whether she is safe."
Mrs. An revealed her heartache, grabbed Jiang An Ning's hand, and patted it gently a few times: "I'm telling you the truth, don't blame me in your heart."
"When I first met you, I actually hated you."
"I always feel that you are not reliable and honest."
"I'm used to bragging."
"I don't know what humility is."
Mrs. An took the person and recalled the past.
"But as I spend more and more time with you, I find that I appreciate you more and more."
"You are a stubborn kid, quite similar to me when I was young."
"Every time I see you, I always feel like I'm seeing myself when I was younger."
"I'm being brazen, but sometimes when I look at you, I feel like I'm looking at my own daughter."
"Unlike the fake one I have in my house now, your personality is really similar to mine."
Mrs. An said lovingly, "If you don't mind, you might as well treat me as an elder."
"I will also treat you like my own daughter, how about that?"
Jiang Anning was a little surprised.
She didn't expect that Miss An was not actually Mrs. An's biological daughter?
And Mrs. An even told her the secret.
Jiang An Ning couldn't help but wonder if Mrs. An said these things to her simply to get closer to her, gain her trust, and coax her to tell her secrets... or did she discover something? She did it on purpose.
Was it to get closer to her, but also to give her a hidden warning?
After all, if there really was someone paying close attention when Duan Qingshan went to investigate Miss An's affairs, it would certainly not be difficult to discover him.
Did Mrs. An already know that she was investigating whether Miss An was her biological daughter, and deliberately said these things, or was there some other reason?
Jiang Anning held the teacup in her hand, her mind in a state of confusion, but her expression showed no sign of it.
"Mrs. An's words really embarrass me."
She smiled and followed the other person's words: "To be honest, when I first met you, I also thought you were very annoying. You almost made things difficult for me for no reason."
"But at that time, besides feeling disgusted with you, I actually treated you as the God of Wealth."
Jiang Anning looked a little embarrassed.
"At that time, I was thinking, how could there be such a stupid and rich person in this world?"
"It's so easy to deceive."
"I just said a few words to provoke you, and you waved your hand and raised the price."
"You don't know how happy I was at that time."
"Even the bad impression I had of you in my heart was completely offset by the pleasure of paying the extra money."
"After taking your money, I think you are like a bodhisattva who saves people from suffering."
“That’s a great and kind person.”
Jiang Anning smiled shyly: "Later, I was just like you. As we spent more and more time together, I found that you are actually an easy-going person. I also admire you very much!"
Mrs. An immediately acted as if she was deeply moved and held the man's hand tightly.
The two people silently competed in acting for a while.
If you don’t know, you would think that these two people are really in love!
Jiang An Ning seemed to be confused and frowned slightly: "You said that the eldest daughter of the An family is not your biological daughter, what's going on?"
As if to stop Mrs. An from trying to evade or change the subject, Jiang An Ning took the lead and said worriedly, "Come to think of it, I do have something about the eldest daughter of the An family. Before, I didn't know whether I should say it or not."
"Now that I've heard you say that, I feel like I should probably tell you about this, so I won't let you down!"
Mrs. An was a little confused: "What's the matter?"
"Come to think of it, I discovered this incident by accident."
Jiang Anning sighed: "I know I shouldn't talk about other people's bad intentions like this, especially since I heard these words unintentionally."
"Since I heard these words, I have been in a state of panic all day long."
"I am so conflicted, I don't know whether I should say these words or not."
"It's as depressing as it can be."
"I just wish I could go back to that day and stop myself from passing by there, so that I wouldn't hear the words I shouldn't have heard."
Jiang An Ning's sighs actually whetted Mrs. An's appetite.
"What?"
She didn't notice at all that she had followed Jiang Anning's line of thought.
"I heard——"
Jiang An Ning paused, glanced at the county magistrate, and then looked at Mrs. An, as if hesitating. If this concerned someone else's secret, could he let a third person know?
The county magistrate was already whetted with interest.
I was pricking up my ears to listen.
Suddenly he found that there was no sound. When he looked up, he met Jiang Anning's eyes as expected. He felt a little helpless, but he couldn't stay here anymore. But he was really curious about what Jiang Anning heard.
Why does Mrs. Lian An also look like she is being led by the nose?
After hesitating for a few seconds, the county magistrate pretended to be awakened and asked, "Is it inappropriate for me to be here?"
"How about I just stay away for a while?"
"I'm also keeping an eye on you two outside."
"Wait until you have finished talking, then call me in."
Having said that, he stood up and was about to go out.
Having said that, Mrs. An had to make her attitude clear.
She smiled openly and said to Jiang Anning, "The county magistrate is not an outsider. Just tell me what you want to say. There is nothing you can't hear. How can there be so many secrets between us?"
The following words were spoken to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was eager to continue listening to the gossip, so he didn't hesitate to sit down and wait for Jiang An Ning to speak.
"This matter can be traced back to when I was living in Madam An's house and I was making birthday embroidery for your eldest daughter... At that time, I was doing embroidery in the courtyard and accidentally heard people talking outside the courtyard."
"Perhaps the people who were talking outside didn't realize that there were already people living in the yard, so they didn't think too much about what they were saying."
"I just heard...that person say, say..." Jiang An Ning glanced at Mrs. An, seeming to have some concerns.
Everything has been said and the atmosphere has been set.
Jiang Anning, however, pretended to be embarrassed and didn't say anything.
This is not pure, it's just to whet people's appetite.
Not only the county magistrate who was waiting to eat melons nearby was anxious, but Mrs. An was also a little anxious.
But she had to pretend to be very magnanimous and comfort Jiang An Ning with a pleasant face: "If you have anything to say, just feel free to say it boldly. Don't worry about me."
"Besides, I also know that these words are just what you heard, not what you meant. Even if there is something that offends me, I can tell clearly where the malice comes from."
"I won't blame you."
Mrs. An actually already had some guesses in her mind.
Jiang An Ning sighed: "Mrs. An, since you said that, I think you already have an idea in mind."
"I have guessed it to some extent." Mrs. An said, "But I still want to hear you say it."
"Isn't there a saying that goes, 'Don't turn back until you hit the wall, and don't cry until you see the coffin.'"
"If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I would have always found it hard to believe the things I doubted in my heart."
Mrs. An deliberately showed a fragile and sad expression.
"I heard that person say that he wanted to kill you, Madam An, as soon as possible so that he could take your place, inherit the family business, and bring his biological mother back home to take good care of her as if she were his old lady."
Jiang An Ning sighed and looked at Mrs. An's expression unintentionally.
Sure enough, the man's expression changed drastically. Even though he tried hard to hide it, one could still tell that he was gritting his teeth and looked like he wanted to tear the other person to pieces.
"I didn't know who said these words at first, and why they wanted to harm you."
Jiang An Ning sighed, "It was not until that day when I was fortunate enough to be invited by you to attend the banquet to celebrate Miss An's voice and heard her speak that I knew who was speaking outside my courtyard that day."
"Later, there was also a time when I went to visit you, Madam An, and when I was about to leave, I accidentally ran into Miss An."
"I accidentally heard Miss An say a few words that were very resentful towards you."
"I didn't think much of it at the time, and it was your personal nanny who came out to see you off in person."
"It's naturally inconvenient to comment. I can only pretend I know nothing and leave quickly."
Jiang An Ning sighed, "But I didn't expect that things would get to this point. I have tried my best to avoid it, but it's like an inescapable curse. The farmhand beside me ran into Miss An again, heard some words I shouldn't have heard, and saw some people I shouldn't have seen..."
Jiang An Ning talked about how Miss An went to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with someone.
"…I just thought it was a little strange at the time and didn't think too much about it."
"My farmhand and I analyzed and calculated and knew that today is the day when Miss An will meet that maid again."
"We both thought that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Even if there is any connection or conspiracy between Miss An and the woman in the other house, they would not meet secretly on this day."
"At least she has to accompany you, Madam An, to have a good reunion and a good holiday, right?"
Jiang Anning sighed softly, as if puzzled: "But I never thought that I would guess wrong."
She glanced at Madam An and said, "Not long ago, my farmhand sent me a message saying that Miss An, as usual, went to another house to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with the women there."
"My farmhand listened from outside and saw that it was quite lively inside."
"The two seemed as close as mother and daughter, chatting and laughing with each other."
Jiang Anning showed some sympathy: "Mrs. An, you too..."
"Your health is more important. Don't worry about this matter."
"Besides, from what you just said, you should have known for a long time that Miss An is not your biological daughter."
"Then I guess you have already prepared yourself mentally, right?"
Mrs. An's face was gloomy.
She was not mentally prepared at all!
Good, good! It's really good!
She just turned a blind eye and didn't think of exposing the relationship between them.
Saving face for yourself is also saving face for them.
If you are sensible, you should know to restrain yourself.
They are so nice, they really treat each other as mother and daughter, and are as close as a family!
You don't want to avoid her at all, right?
Are you afraid that she doesn't know and won't investigate the true life experience of that evil girl?
"It turns out that Yan'er actually has a place to go. I thought she just didn't want to deal with the social etiquette, but I didn't expect that she actually found her biological mother. From the bottom of her heart, she doesn't want to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with me, her adoptive mother."
Mrs. An sneered and almost instantly made the decision to cut off ties with that person.
Jiang Anning's tone was innocent, as if she was very surprised: "Ah?"
"So, doesn't that mean Miss An has already known her life story and knows that she is not Madam An's biological daughter? Then she..."
Combined with what was said before, Miss An has repeatedly expressed her hope that Mrs. An will die soon so that she can inherit all of Mrs. An's property.
Miss An clearly knew that she was not her biological daughter, but she still pretended to know nothing. Her purpose and intention were obvious.
"How could this be?"
Jiang Anning pretended to be incredulous: "Could there be some misunderstanding?"
She kindly advised Madam An: "I think Madam, don't be so quick to get angry. Maybe there is some hidden reason behind this."
"It would be too hasty and unfair for us to draw conclusions now without confronting anyone."
