Chapter 134 Memories (Part )

An Tian returned to the carriage, took out a box, pulled out three silver notes, handed them to Li Yi, and said, "Look, these three thousand taels belong to your general."

After half a cup of tea, Li Yi walked up to Fu Hongxuan with a strange look on his face, lowered his head and whispered, "Just now, Manager An gave me three thousand taels of silver."

Fu Hongxuan's face remained calm as he extended his hand and said coldly, "Well, give it to me!"

I didn't expect An Tian to be so generous as to give me an extra thousand taels. It was worth my time playing double duty with her.

Li Yi lowered his head even lower, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Manager An...he just showed it to me, then took it back, saying that it was considered as your repayment of the three thousand taels first..."

Fu Hongxuan·····

Are you afraid that I won’t pay you back?

Fu Hongxuan rarely admired other people's talents, and An Tian's ability to make money was one of them.

He stayed up all night for several days and searched the whole city for Zhou Chengxi, but only got 5,000 taels of silver, while An Tian seemed to be able to earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver with just a casual move.

Fu Hongxuan felt a little worried, as if every time he worked with An Tian, he was working in vain, and even had to pay money to that woman.

Could this woman be the reincarnation of a Pixiu, who only goes in and never leaves?

As the carriage slowly moved forward, An Tian couldn't help but recall many past events in a trance.

Ever since she could remember, An Tian knew that she was just a supporting role, and her status as a bastard was a constraint that she could not escape.

If she were a man, she could leave home and make a name for herself after she reaches adulthood.

But she is a woman, and the best outcome for her is to find a man from a good family and marry him.

Since childhood, An Tian has been taught not to be competitive. There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. Even if you are better than your legitimate sister, you must hide your shortcomings and not steal An Qing's limelight.

An Tian has lived on thin ice since childhood. Perhaps in the eyes of others, he lives a life of luxury. Except for the occasional beatings and scoldings from his mistress and younger sister, his life is already better than that of many people.

One should be content with what one has and be indifferent to fame and fortune. This is what An Tian's aunt taught her. One should be satisfied as long as one has enough food and drink.

As long as An Tian can be patient for a few more years and please her mistress, she will find her a good family to marry into.

From then on, she lived a simple life, taking care of her husband and raising her children.

This is the fate that was arranged for An Tian.

This may be the peaceful and smooth life that most women want, but it is not the life that An Tian wants.

Why should she be indifferent to fame and fortune? Those who are labeled as indifferent to fame and fortune, didn’t they gain fame and fortune before they said so casually.

How can a person who doesn't even have fame and fortune say that he is indifferent to fame and fortune? That is just like being in the crowd.

An Tian has always known that her stepmother is not a magnanimous woman, and even if she tries to please her like a dog, she won't get a good look from her.

This has nothing to do with anything else. As a concubine's child, I naturally have a hostile relationship with my stepmother. My stepmother can't even care for her own children, so it would be strange for her to have a good impression of her husband's concubine's child.

All noble families want to save face. The mistress may appear glamorous, virtuous and kind to the outside world, but only she herself knows what she is like behind closed doors.

An Tian knew that her advantage was her beauty, a beauty that made An Qing and Zhao Wanqing jealous.

A beautiful, self-aware and ambitious person will naturally not be willing to have her destiny in the hands of others.

An Tian wanted to get rid of her stepmother and to be proud of herself. The only way at that time was to hook up with a noble man and marry him to change her family status.

An Tian has never been a good person, and naturally he has used many means to get to the top.

Those young men from famous families, whether they are upright gentlemen or playboys, all look at the face.

Whenever An Tian is present, no matter how An Qing and Zhao Wanqing dress up, they cannot hide An Tian's brilliance.

An Tian has been following his stepmother's mood since he was a child in the mansion, and he has made some progress in observing people's words and expressions over the years.

As long as An Tian wants to please someone, few people can resist.

The reason why he didn't try to please Zhao Wanqing was naturally because he saw that Zhao Wanqing was hostile to him.

An Tian is not money. Trying to please someone who is hostile to you will only bring shame to yourself.

Now An Qing is showing compassion in front of the crowd, acting like he is kind enough to forgive you even if you hurt him, and to think about you. These are all tricks left over from An Tian's tricks back then.

There was a reason why An Qing and Zhao Wanqing hated her so much. Although these two were not good people, they were not so idle as to go to great lengths to deal with an insignificant person.

In those years, An Tian relied on her weak and helpless appearance to seduce countless young men.

An Tian never took An Qing and Zhao Wanqing seriously, because they were either bad or stupid, and it was always written on their faces when they did something bad.

Every time these two came to cause trouble, they became stepping stones for An Tian, and they also earned themselves a reputation for being willful and capricious.

Just after An Tian got acquainted with the girl from the Wei family and successfully struck up a conversation with the most popular Master Wei at that time.

Zhao Wanqing finally couldn't sit still and took action against An Tian.

It's funny to say, Zhao Wanqing's method towards her was simple and crude. She asked An Qing to bring her to her home for a flower viewing banquet.

At that time, An Tian realized that something was wrong. A person who had been targeting you every day suddenly showed goodwill and took you to a flower-viewing party hosted by another person who had been targeting you.

Anyone with a bit of common sense would know it was a trap, so An Tian naturally refused it.

Unexpectedly, An Qing behaved out of character, acting like a spoiled child and even threatening An Tian to leave.

An Tian realized that An Qing definitely had bad intentions, but if she refused directly, An Qing would have to go back and ask her stepmother to order her to go, and she would still have to go.

So An Tian nodded in agreement, pretending to be reluctant to refuse the invitation.

The next day, when they were about to set off, the calculation on An Qing's face could hardly be concealed.

What An Qing didn't expect was that he waited in the front hall for a long time but didn't see An Tian.

I asked the maid to go to the room and call An Tian, but the maid came back and said An Tian was missing.

An Qing's face darkened. "Search An Tian, that bitch! Even if you have to dig three feet deep, you must find her!"

An Qing didn't expect An Tian to be so shameless and just hid himself away.

Among the thirty-six strategies, hiding is the best one. Just hide until the flower viewing party is over in the evening and then come out and find an excuse to get away with it. The worst that can happen is that you will get scolded.

An Tian just didn't believe that Zhao Wanqing would hold flower-viewing banquets every day to plot against her.

Thinking of this, An Tian's eyes gradually dimmed. Looking back now, she felt that she was really naive and ridiculous at the time.

The sunlight was blocked by dark clouds, and the light inside the carriage gradually dimmed.

The shadow spread over An Tian bit by bit until it completely submerged him.
