Chapter 580: Chapter 580 She Also Dare Not Provoke_1

”Yes, yes, yes, the woman will leave now, this instant.” Mrs. Gong fumbled to her feet in a hurry, eager to take her leave.

But An Jing stopped her, ”Take your eggs and vegetables with you.”

”Yes, yes, yes...” Mrs. Gong was so flustered and terrified that she couldn’t stop repeating ’yes’, afraid of offending An Jing further.

An Jing is now an official, and Mrs. Gong simply could not afford to offend her. It wasn’t just that she couldn’t offend An Jing anymore; she wouldn’t dare to offend Shi Xiaolan either.

Shi Xiaolan had always relied on An Jing, and now that An Jing had become an official, naturally, she was someone not to be trifled with.

Saying that she didn’t dare to provoke Shi Xiaolan was an understatement; in fact, she didn’t dare to provoke An Jing, the official.

While Mrs. Gong was kneeling to An Jing just now, she had placed the eggs and vegetables on the ground, and at this moment, she hastily picked up the two eggs and bundle of greens from the ground. She didn’t dare to bring up the idea of giving them to An Jing but instead quickly walked out, not even turning her head back.

No sooner had Mrs. Gong left the yard than Meng Zhuqing closed the gate.

An Jing then turned and went back inside.

If Mrs. Gong had been a greatly wicked person, she certainly wouldn’t have let her go so easily today; however, Mrs. Gong wasn’t such a person. Moreover, An Jing had heard that Mrs. Gong now followed An Fu’s words very closely, for fear of being sent back to her parent’s home by her husband.

Besides, now that Mrs. Gong was afraid of her as an official, and An Jing had not explicitly stated that she would never seek revenge, Mrs. Gong would likely continue to be very cautious, not daring to stir any trouble.

Xiao Changyi was inside, taking care of the children. Originally, Xiao Changyi wanted to join An Jing in meeting Mrs. Gong, but An Jing said she could handle it herself, so Xiao Changyi let it be.

Nevertheless, Xiao Changyi had instructed Meng Zhuqing that if Mrs. Gong exhibited any excessive behavior, she must be stopped immediately to prevent his wife from having to take action herself.

His wife’s health wasn’t completely recovered, and while she was fine with handling people verbally, it would be better if she didn’t personally engage in physical tasks.

”Husband.” As soon as An Jing entered the inner room, she approached Xiao Changyi from behind, smiling cheerfully as she wrapped her arms around his neck, affectionately resting her chin on his shoulder and pressing her face against his.

As for her eyes, she first gave Xiao Changyi a gleeful look, then turned her gaze towards the cradle containing their four children.

Xiao Changyi was sitting beside the crib, and he enjoyed being embraced by An Jing, but his handsome face still showed little emotion, and he remained silent, simply raising his hand to gently touch An Jing’s face.

When her face was stroked, An Jing giggled for a while before turning her head to plant a kiss on Xiao Changyi’s handsome face.

Then she let go of his neck and sat down beside him, both of them looking after the four children.

The four children were all awake now. Although none of them were crying, they all needed attention, particularly the Fourth Brother An YiYun, the little one whose health was not good, requiring close care to prevent any issues from arising undetected.

...

With An Jing becoming an official, her friends Wang Youbao and Shi Xiaolan also rose in status. As those who couldn’t cozy up to An Jing began to curry favor with Shi Xiaolan and Wang Youbao instead.

Both Wang Youbao and Shi Xiaolan were very aware of their own status, knowing that they were enjoying the reflected glory of An Jing, so naturally, they did not accept others’ fawning over them.

Unable to get close to An Jing, and now also unable to court Wang Youbao and Shi Xiaolan, everyone eventually gave up on the idea of ingratiating themselves to bask in their reflected light.
