Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Embraced Each Other

With the sound of a slap, Shen Hongxiu’s extremely stern warning followed,

"If it weren’t for your blood saving Ah Yan’s life, I would’ve kicked you out of the Huo Family long ago. An, I’m warning you, stay out of my way when you see me, Shen Hongxiu, or I’ll slap you every time I see you..."

"Enough!"

Mrs. Huo was evidently furious.

Her voice quickly silenced Shen Hongxiu.

Mrs. Huo glared coldly at her and said,

"Shen Hongxiu, if you can’t keep a man, don’t take it out on innocent An Ge. If you really have any skill, go and deal with that enchantress he’s keeping outside. What good does it do to act tough in front of me?"

Shen Hongxiu’s face turned from blue to red under Mrs. Huo’s reprimand, and she said nothing with a grim expression.

Mrs. Huo continued, but now speaking to An Ge, "Girl, go back and rest. I want to have a word with your aunt alone."

An Ge pressed her lips together and said, "Alright."

After An Ge left Mrs. Huo, she didn’t go far. She waited by the rock near the arched gate, which was a must-pass through the West Garden.

About half an hour later, she finally saw Shen Hongxiu coming out.

The moment Shen Hongxiu saw her, she immediately scowled and said with extreme disgust,

"What? That slap earlier didn’t satisfy you? You want another one?"

An Ge said, "I want to work in the Xiu Fang Pavilion..."

"Are you daydreaming? Even without you getting involved with my husband, do you think your mediocre embroidery skills would get you into the Xiu Fang Pavilion? The pavilion demands versatile embroidery women. Your little tricks are far from enough."

"Second Madam, could you at least hear me out first?"

Shen Hongxiu was utterly disdainful of An Ge, saying, "Why should I waste my time on trash like you?"

An Ge was unfazed by the woman’s insult and disdain, having heard worse things.

She looked at Shen Hongxiu and said,

"I know why you haven’t been able to conceive in the thirty years since your marriage. Isn’t that worth giving me five minutes?"

Shen Hongxiu’s greatest wish in life was to have her own child, but at fifty, this dream was completely shattered.

Her throat constricted, holding back certain emotions, and her voice was especially stern,

"If I find out you’re lying, I’ll break your legs!"

"It was your sister, Shen Hongshu, who caused it."

As soon as these words left An Ge’s mouth, Shen Hongxiu’s eyes sharply constricted in disbelief. "What did you say?"

"After Shen Hongshu’s divorce, she was financially strained and had her daughter adopted by you. Fearing you might abuse or mistreat her if you had your own child, she added something to the fertility medicine you drank. Over the years, it destroyed your ability to conceive."

Confronted with this truth, Shen Hongxiu was agitated, yet not out of control. "How do you know this?"

An Ge replied, "I accidentally overheard Shen Hongshu mention it during a phone call."

She paused, hinting at something, then added,

"There’s another matter you should prepare yourself for. Shen Hongshu is involved with the Second Master too. I once saw the two of them embracing each other in broad daylight in the back garden."

Shen Hongxiu was shocked into silence by this revelation.

An Ge continued,

"Second Madam, if not for your prejudice against me and refusal to let me into the Xiu Fang Pavilion, I probably wouldn’t have told you these things. After all, meddling in the affairs of the masters is like asking for trouble, and I don’t want to make enemies."

Shen Hongxiu looked at her a moment longer because of her words, saying,

"If you want to enter the Xiu Fang Pavilion, mere words won’t be enough. In half a month’s time, the pavilion will hold an open recruitment. If you have what it takes, then go try and earn your place."
