Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Acting Cute~

An Ge dared not meet his gaze. Hastily, she tidied up the blanket and was about to place it back on the man’s bed when he spoke to her coldly, "You’ve dirtied it, just burn it."

"..."

"Young Master, are you up? Madam from [West Garden] invited you and Ms. An Ge to have breakfast with her."

The [East Garden] steward, Uncle Fu, knocked on the master bedroom door at this point. After saying this, he hesitated, adding, "Young Master, Ms. An Ge is not in her room. I asked the night staff around, and they all said she hadn’t left [East Garden]."

Before he could finish speaking, the master bedroom door was opened from the inside. As the door swung open, Uncle Fu was visibly taken aback. He stared at An Ge standing at the door for a moment before finding his voice, "Uh, Ms. An Ge, Madam invites you to go to [West Garden] with Young Master for breakfast. You better freshen up properly."

As Uncle Fu was about to leave after saying this, Huo Shaoyan, who had walked over, stopped him, "Is there something you’d like to say?"

What did he mean by "freshen up properly"? It made it sound as if something improper was going on between him and this detestable woman.

"Young Master, you misunderstand. It’s like this: Madam has also invited the Second Madam from the Xiu Fang Pavilion and specifically instructed Ms. An Ge to dress properly, as she wants to introduce her to the Second Madam to work at the Pavilion."

The [Huo Mansion] is divided into four courtyards—East, West, South, and North. [East Garden] was the main building of the Huo Family, originally the residence of Huo Shaoyan’s father, and now temporarily occupied by the heir, Huo Shaoyan. [West Garden] was Mrs. Huo’s residence, and the southern and northern courtyards were assigned to other family members. [West Garden] was surrounded by towering ancient trees, providing a beautiful and tranquil environment, which was particularly suitable for the elderly to rest.

An Ge paid her respects to Mrs. Huo, who then pulled her to sit by her side, while Huo Shaoyan sat opposite them. He was uninterested in breakfast, leaning back lazily in his chair and pulling out a cigarette to light. Mrs. Huo glanced at him and said, "You must quit that stinky habit of constantly having a cigarette in hand. Before, there were no pregnant women in the house, so I tolerated it. Now that An Ge is expecting, I won’t allow you to smoke in her presence, do you hear me?"

As Mrs. Huo spoke, she placed a shrimp dumpling on An Ge’s plate, speaking to her with much more affection, "In the early stages of pregnancy, you can’t be careless. You must eat more."

Mrs. Huo was the only person who had shown kindness to An Ge since her release from prison, and An Ge genuinely respected her. She smiled at Mrs. Huo and said, "I understand, thank you, Granny Huo."

Huo Shaoyan, seeing her acting sweet and obedient, couldn’t help but mock, "Calling her ’Granny’ so earnestly."

After talking to An Ge, he didn’t forget to provoke Mrs. Huo, "I say, old lady, she’s just the living blood bank you bought for me. Do you really need to treat her so dearly? You’re acting like the child she’s carrying is your own great-grandson. If you truly desire grandchildren, you should agree to my marriage with An Baoying as soon as possible."

Mrs. Huo ignored Huo Shaoyan’s sarcastic remarks. While serving An Ge more food, she continued, "I heard about you mending Old Wang’s wedding dress and thought your sewing skill shouldn’t go to waste, so I want to introduce you to Hong Xiu."

Shen Hongxiu was the name of Mrs. Huo’s second daughter-in-law. She was the principal wife of Huo Zhendong, whom he married thirty years ago but remained childless. The Huo family servants respectfully called her Second Madam.

Mrs. Huo’s intentions perfectly aligned with An Ge’s plans. Though secretly delighted, An Ge still had concerns. She said, "Granny Huo, Second Madam might hold a grudge against me and refuse to accept me."

Mrs. Huo replied, "I know about the incident where Second Uncle attempted to harm you, but that’s not your fault. It’s entirely because of Second Uncle’s incorrigible nature. While it’s one thing for him to indulge himself outside, causing trouble at home is unacceptable. Even if Shen Hongxiu is willing to turn a blind eye, I won’t. I’ll have a word with Hong Xiu about this."

Huo Shaoyan sneered, "A fly won’t bite a seamless egg. If she were virtuous, would Second Uncle Huo be interested in her?"
