Keep it a secret

"I want to be an independent princess! I don't want to be set up or married to someone I don't love! So, only by becoming rich can I choose the life I want!" An Hui replied firmly.

An Hui knew that in this life, women who were 18 years old or even 16 or 17 years old would be married off to the man of their family's choice.

Therefore An Hui didn't want to waste the second life and being a fool who couldn't make her own decisions.

Apart from covering up the truth, An Hui could also use this excuse as a stepping stone. Who knew Fang Chen would help himself in the process of becoming a rich woman.

"Ah, I thought why. Then are you really not getting married?" Fang Chen asked.

An Hui thought Fang Chen was eagerly waiting for her answer. An Hui really didn't want to have a family and be a useless person in this era.

"No! However, if there is a match, it is possible that I will accept that person's proposal," An Hui replied.

Fang Chen suddenly broke into a big smile upon hearing An Hui's answer. An Hui didn't understand what was going on in Fang Chen's mind right now.

"That's a good thing! Now, I want to see you wearing the dress we bought earlier! Don't you want to try it on?" Fang Chen asked.

An Hui almost forgot that he didn't take a shower today and instead wandered around with Fang Chen to various places.

'Oh my, An Hui! How can you be such a filthy woman?' An Hui thought bullying herself.

An Hui was embarrassed because he thought he should have humiliated Fang Chen during the trip.

"Well, you're right! Then I'll go in first," An Hui said goodbye and left Fang Chen in front of her room.

After entering, An Hui rushed to take a shower. Her body also became more sticky because of the sweat she got.

"These days are really frustrating! I wonder how people live with so little transportation and electronics?" muttered An Hui.

Because An Hui was a neglected and exiled princess, so the water she got was not enough either.

Sometimes An Hui was confused whether she should be grateful for being given life again or if he should regret being revived in these bad era.

Finally An Hui finished bathing and put on the clothes Fang Chen had bought. She wore a blue dress. It really suits her.

"This is five times better than what I have! Fang Chen is indeed very good! However, he still couldn't be trusted one hundred percent!" An Hui spun and waddled in front of the mirror watching her appearance.

Because it was considered neat, so An Hui came out to meet Fang Chen. But when she arrived at the original place, An Hui did not find anyone there.

"Where did Fang Chen go? Did he go to the bathroom?" An Hui look around.

But An Hui didn't find anyone there. Even Fang Chen didn't say goodbye to himself before leaving, how rude.

"Never mind, I'd better use this free time to train this body! How helplessly weak." An Hui was about to go inside her room to get the rope.

The rope was used to tie An Hui's clothes so as not to disturb her when she moved. An Hui forgot not to buy clothes to practice earlier.

"For now I can only do modest things! After this I have to do something to have money!" An Hui tied the last part and her clothes finished being like a suit and pants.

Suddenly the door to Anhui's room was broken open from the outside. An Hui looked directly at the source of the voice.

She saw a woman dressed very neatly and luxuriously. The woman was with two maids, one a woman and the other a man who broke down the door earlier.

The maidservant was the maid An Hui had abused earlier. So An Hui was sure that the woman who was so dignified and dressed so luxuriously was the wife of the father of the original body owner.

Her sharp and piercing gaze made An Hui even more sure of her guess. An Hui could feel her hatred.

'Ah, apparently she really hates An Hui! Was there any other reason than because An Hui was the daughter of a concubine? What an excessive and senseless hatred! I have to find out the truth!' An Hui thought earnestly.

"Old Madam, this was all her doing! She dared to do this all against your orders, madam!" the maid reported.

"Was what he said true? Are you going against my orders?" The stepmother stared and snapped at An Hui.

"If so, why? You're not my mother and I'm not obligated to obey your orders!" An Hui bravely retorted.

An Hui smirked and she saw her stepmother's shocked expression. It was only natural for her stepmother to be surprised because the An Hui's past and present were so vast.

In the past, An Hui could only whine and never disobey his stepmother's orders. Even though she had done a good job, even though she was punished, An Hui did not fight back.

But today, the stepmother's emissary maid was injured and now An Hui is refuting her stepmother.

"What do you mean? Of course you have to obey me! I am the one who manages the affairs of the residence! You, just a useless concubine's daughter, what makes you so brave?" taunted her stepmother.

An Hui thought, her stepmother and biological mother had a dispute that ended in this kind of problem.

But what confused An Hui was how could An Hui's father not act. An Hui doubted whether her father was stupid or just being ignorant.

But if An Hui's father loved her biological mother, he should have loved and defended An Hui. Instead of doing the opposite.

"Because you're not my real mother!" An Hui answered loudly.

"You don't know yourself!" The stepmother raised her right hand to slap An Hui in the face.
