Chapter 838: Zuo Hancheng’s Wounds (2)
In the An family’s guest room, Anhao pushed open the window.
The An family’s house, which had just been noisy, was now completely silent.
The night breeze was blowing. If it was more than a month ago, Anhao would never have thought that she would one day stand in a guest room of the An family, feeling the place that was closely related to her blood.
Suddenly, a servant knocked on the door.
“Mrs. Zuo, this is the herbal tea that the old madam asked us to prepare for you. It can replenish qi and blood.”
Anhao glanced at the things the servant brought in and immediately looked at the servant.””Has Old Madam returned to the ancestral hall?”
The servant smiled and placed the herbal tea on the table in front of her. Then, she took a step back and said respectfully,”Replying to Mrs. Zuo, Old Furen has indeed returned to the ancestral hall. However, before we went back, we had already instructed us to prepare this medicinal tea for you.”
Anhao lowered her eyes and glanced at the cup of herbal tea on the table. The servant said,””Our Old Madam’s family used to be a family that inherited Chinese herbal tea and was very famous in America. The reason why Old Madam and Old Master’s health has always been so strong is because they drink the herbal tea personally made by Old Madam all year round. Our Old Madam saw that Mrs. Zuo’s complexion wasn’t too good, and it seemed that you had been sick not long ago, so she specially asked us to send you the herbal tea so that you can drink it before sleeping.”
Anhao then picked up the cup on the table. It was a little hot, but it was not hot enough to burn her hands. She held it in her hand and looked at the red and yellow water inside. She put it to her nose and sniffed it before taking another sip.
It did taste like wolfberries, longan, etc. It was a little like the taste of donkey-hide glue cake, but it was not completely like it. Anhao had never drunk medicinal tea before, so after taking two sips, she suddenly looked at the servant beside her.”Is the ancestral hall far from here? Is Old Madam resting now?”
The servant seemed to understand what Anhao meant and said directly,”The ancestral hall is behind the An family’s residence. It’s not far from here, but no one is allowed to enter the An family’s ancestral hall except for the An family. If Mrs. Zuo wants to see the old madam, then wait until tomorrow morning. I’ll help you pass on a message to the old madam. If the old madam is willing to see you, she’ll come here to look for you tomorrow.”
“Only the An family can enter?” Anhao asked calmly.
The servant smiled.” The ancestral hall is not an ordinary place after all. Since Mrs. Zuo is from China, she should know more about the ancient Chinese traditions. According to the old lady, it is the resting place of the ancestors ‘souls. If one is not of the An family’s bloodline, they definitely cannot enter it easily because it will disturb the ancestors.”
Anhao lightly curled her lips and did not say anything. The servant thought that Mrs. Zuo was treating her as an outsider, so she quickly explained,””Mrs. Zuo, please don’t take it to heart. You’re a guest of the An family, so you should be treated as a distinguished guest. However, the ancestral hall is not an ordinary place. Even Miss Anxin has been in the An family for so many years, but she has never been allowed to step into it. If Mrs. Zuo wants to go somewhere else, I can accompany her.”
“No need.” After Anhao drank more than half of the cup of herbal tea, she felt her stomach warm up and her body was sweating a little. She put down the cup and smiled.”Then I’ll have to trouble you to pass a message to Old Madam. Tell her that Mr. Zuo and I came to the An family with a very simple purpose and no ill intentions. If Old Madam is willing to meet, please come out and meet her again.”
The servant didn’t quite understand what Anhao meant, but when she thought about how the old madam’s expression seemed to be much more solemn than usual when she returned to the ancestral hall today, the servant thought about it and didn’t dare to ask any more questions. She only nodded at Anhao.”Alright, I’ll pass the message to you.”
“Thank you.”
The cup was already cold. Anhao had taken a shower and changed into light and comfortable clothes. She sat by the bed and looked at the cup that contained the herbal tea. There was no residue at the bottom of the cup, but ever since she drank this cup, she felt an indescribable warmth spreading through her stomach, including her limbs and bones.
It was such a magical thing. No wonder Old Master An looked so energetic even though he was already in his eighties. Perhaps even those middle-aged people in their fifties or sixties did not have the same spirit as Old Master An.
It turned out that there was a medicinal tea made by the old madam by his side.
Looking through the glass, she recalled the first time the old madam looked at her, the sizing and surprise in her eyes, and the words the old madam had said to her after that.
Anhao put down her cup and suddenly felt that her existence might not be known only to An Ping.
What the old lady said today was worth pondering.
The old madam said that An Ping had left the An family more than 20 years ago and had severed ties with Old Master An.
She even mentioned that she had found An Ping more than eight years ago.
The servant said that the old madam had started eating and living in the ancestral hall eight years ago, and she almost never came out to see anyone…
Also, what kind of man had Anping been with in the past to make the old master so dissatisfied? He even mentioned life at gunpoint.
That man was An Ping’s lover in the United States? Could it be his father?
However, Gu Tianming had said that he only became interested in Anping after she had been working for him for a period of time. Moreover, he had sex with her after getting drunk. This meant that Anping had been in China for a long time at that time.
Gu Tianming also mentioned that An Ping had clearly just had sex with another man not long ago.
Then who was his father?
Was he in America or China? What was his identity?
This series of questions gradually entangled into a messy line, and then tightly wrapped into a mystery that was difficult to unravel. The more Anhao thought about it, the stranger she felt.
“The Andersons are not as peaceful as you think. Child, these… I’ve made a fool of myself in front of you.” freewebnσvel.cѳm
An Ping’s words from behind him were still ringing in his ears.
Anhao suddenly stood up and placed the cup in her hand on the table. She turned around and was about to leave.
Perhaps she couldn’t drag it out like this. Since she couldn’t sleep now, and since An Ping didn’t hide anything in front of her, it was necessary to break this layer of paper to ask clearly.

He asked her why she had suddenly died and left him back then, and why she had left her in the Gu family.
He asked her why she could abandon her own daughter in China, regardless of whether she was dead or alive, but adopted another girl after returning to the United States.
Anhao had just walked to the door and was about to open it when the door was suddenly pulled open in front of her. Zuo Hancheng, who had been chatting alone with Old Master An for a long time, suddenly returned.
The moment he opened the door, Zuo Hancheng could feel Anhao rushing out. His dark and calm eyes looked at her face.”It’s so late. Why do you want to go out?”
