An Lingyun knew that her mother had her best interests in mind, so she nodded quietly.

  Soon, Princess Mingzhu personally came to Ning Shu’s courtyard to offer her a bag of silver. Ning Shu had An Lingyun take it.

  An Lingyun curled her lips in disdain. It was such a tiny amount of money. Back when Mingzhu had first come to the residence, everything they bought for her was paid with banknotes. This little bit of money couldn’t even pay off a single banknote.

  Mingzhu’s steps were much lighter as she left. It was clear that she thought the residence had accepted her relationship with An You and gave her their blessings.

  Ning Shu shook her head. Bickering with someone that lived completely inside their own world like this was just asking for trouble. The moment you said something or raised your voice just a little, she’d immediately kneel down in remorse and ceaselessly ask for your forgiveness.

  I’ve wronged, I’ve apologized, so you should forgive me. If you don’t forgive me, that puts you in the wrong and you’re the one at fault.

  Nothing hurt people like them more than having their true love destroyed.

  Although the people of the residence had allowed her to be together with An You, Mingzhu now had a new distress, which was the issue of her intimacy with An You.

  It was like this every single time! As soon as she started to feel it a little, the love-making would end. Sometimes Mingzhu would keep hugging An You, wanting more, but An You seriously couldn’t do it again and was always evading it, saying that he was tired.

  A shadow was growing in Mingzhu’s heart. She felt that An You had gone off to find some other woman. However, ever since she came to the general’s residence, An You had always been with her. He never even went to Wei Lingxian’s courtyard.

  Although she didn’t want to admit it, she was starting to think that An You couldn’t really do it anymore. An You was her first man, so she didn’t know what other men were like. Due to her feminine bashfulness, she couldn’t voice her true feelings either.

  She didn’t want An You to think that she was a licentious woman.

  Meanwhile, An You could sense Mingzhu’s dissatisfaction, but although he had the desire, he truly didn’t have the strength. He had already drunk so much medicine, but it was all useless. An You didn’t know what had happened to his body. This feeling made him very uneasy.
