Chapter16: Restraining her thorns while swallowing her anger(2)
With Feng Yuewei’s gaze upon her, An Xi did not continue to speak.
“However, today is such an auspicious day. Since you are here, Yan-er, I’m sure you didn’t come empty handed. I wonder what beautiful gifts you have brought for our Jin-er and Qing-er.”
Feng Yuewei’s words held a hint of curiosity as if she was looking forward to seeing what gifts An Yan was going to give.
An Jin and An Qing, who weren’t standing too far away, looked at each other; the normally lively An Jin appeared frightened. An Yan had sent her a wooden toy as a gift a few hours ago. She had thrown it away though, so where would the gifts come from?
An Qing, on the other hand, remained calm and unperturbed.
What good items can An Yan bring out? Even if it is something that originally was precious and rare, would it still be a treasure after being in her hands?
Therefore, there was nothing for her to worry about.
Being asked for gifts in such a manner caused An Yan’s heart to thump wildly.
What gifts could she have brought today? Even if she sold herself, she still wouldn’t t receive enough money to buy those expensive presents.
Moreover, she had already delivered a handmade jewelry box to each of her elder sisters.
Thinking of this, An Yan felt a twinge of pain in her chest. She had personally made these jewellery boxes that represented all her feelings, yet they were thrown out as trash. Now, at this place, she was still asked to bring out her gifts. What should she do?
An Yan wanted to be close to An Jin and An Qing because, within the entire Manor, they were both her sisters from the same parents.
The moment when she saw how they both disregarded her kind intentions, giving her gift to their ignorant servants, those feelings of wanting to be close had almost extinguished; only a trace of those emotions was left in her heart.
Now the situation was like this: if she had no gifts, she would become a joke. If she said that she had already given the gifts, her sisters would only pretend to not have received them. She would still be ridiculed and sneered upon by all those present here.
An Yan stopped moving and remained silent for a long time.
“Enough, Yan-er coming here is itself sufficient. Gifts and whatnot, Qin-er and Jin-er are not lacking in them. Yan-er, quickly finds some place to sit and eat some Jiu Cai.” 1
Aunt Rong finally couldn’t keep watching and got up with the help of Nanny Fang. She walked down and quickly pacified the room.
Originally her aunt’s status was not as great as the first daughter-in-law of the prime minister’s Manor, let alone the fact that Feng Yuewei is the second princess, something a commoner could never compare to. But before Feng Yuewei had married into their household, Aunt Rong had held control over the household for fourteen years and her words still carried some weight.
She directed a smile full of her love and affection at An Yan.
Listening to this, An Yan’s thoughts became muddled. Although she knew what Aunt Rong said about the twins not lacking gifts was the truth, she herself had prepared gifts.
But the fact that she had Nanny Fang personally deliver her handmade gifts was something that Aunt Rong should have known about!
The matter here was not about the deficiency of gifts, it was whether she had prepared any gifts or not.
Since Aunt Rong had spoken, Feng Yuewei could not say anything else. Instead, she looked at An Shuo charmingly; it was unknown what her eyes were expressing.
An Shuo frowned and said,
“Yan meimei, feel free to find a place to sit. When father comes later, we will all stand.”
An Yan’s heart thumped loudly in her chest; she already couldn’t remember when she had last stealthily seen her father. This would be the first time she would face him directly.
