Self-defense

An Hui immediately held his stepmother's hand who almost slapped her in the face. An Hui gave her stepmother a sharp look.

Her stepmother was again shocked by what An Hui had done. And the grip An Hui gave her stepmother made her wince in pain.

"Is this all you can do? Is there nothing else but to give a slap like this?" teased An Hui with a disdainful smile.

Anhui's stepmother couldn't believe that Anhui dared to underestimate her. An Hui's stepmother immediately threw An Hui's hand out of her grip.

An Hui's stepmother noticed her arm which was slightly reddened by An Hui's hand. This was the first time An Hui had done so boldly to her stepmother.

Even the maid who had noticed the incident was surprised by An Hui's bravery. His body was shaking and she didn't dare to do anything.

"You... you bitch! How dare you hurt my hand?!" An Hui's stepmother gritted her teeth.

"Who hurt you? I was just protecting myself. Is it wrong to protect yourself from other people's attempted attacks?" An Hui replied calmly.

"You... you..." An Hui's stepmother was at a loss for words.

Finally she left An Hui's room followed by her maid. Finally An Hui could feel calm after the two of them left.

"Looks like I really have no one here! I need to get some money fast so I can get out of here!" muttered An Hui who was in deep thought.

Because An Hui wanted to do business, so she had to do a reset. So instead of An Hui having a pointless quarrel with the palace dwellers, she chose to do something useful.

"Actually I'm tired from traveling with Fang Chen just now! But I don't want to stay in this devil's place!" An Hui grumbled as she walked towards the outside of the palace.

It was fortunate that An Hui's memory was sharp. So, she can remember the way to the market even if it's just the first visit.

An Hui arrived at the market earlier. She walked around by looking at the merchandise that was there.

There are only sellers of clothes and food and a few other accessories. There was nothing of interest to An Hui.

Indeed, the clothes in the clothes shop were beautiful. An Hui probably couldn't make such good clothes.

However, An Hui could ask someone to make clothes according to her instructions without the hassle of drawing them.

That way, An Hui can make clothes with the model he wants. And An Hui wanted to sell clothes that were simple and not too complicated.

"The clothing store business may indeed be profitable. However, I don't have the capital to make such pretty clothes," muttered An Hui feeling sorry for herself.

Similar to the clothing business, the food business needs capital as well. And An Hui really didn't have any money.

It seemed that An Hui wanted to give up doing business because of financial constraints.

So, An Hui felt that for now it was better for her to work according to her passion. But An Hui needed information regarding this organization.

Coupled with his body, he must also train this body's stamina so that it is not weak. In the end the trip to the market today ended in vain.

An Hui decided to return to the palace. However, just arriving at her residence, she was already awaited by several people in the front courtyard of the palace.

An Hui recognized a woman waiting for her. She is his stepmother. Meanwhile there was a middle-aged man who was luxuriously dressed as well.

An Hui thinks, that man is the father of the owner of the original body. So, according to the custom of the ancients, when they meet people of high status even though it is their parents, they must still greet them.

"An Hui greets Father," An Hui said gracefully. Even An Hui knelt down politely.

This irritated An Hui's stepmother because An Hui did not greet her when she came to An Hui's room earlier.

"My husband, look at this child! She only greets you and not me! Even earlier when she met me, she didn't even greet me and instead hurt my wrist," An Hui's stepmother whined excessively.

Seeing her stepmother's way of speaking and gestures, An Hui was sure that her stepmother had slandered her.

She used An Hui's father to avenge what An Hui did to her earlier. But it was good that An Hui could see firsthand how An Hui's father treated her.

"Is it true what your mother said?" asked An Hui's father.

An Hui glanced at her stepmother and she looked very happy. Like someone who has won a match.

But for An Hui, this was not the end! Rather, this is the beginning of her attempted revenge.

"Yes, Father! Anhui did that!" An Hui answered honestly.

An Hui wanted to see what An Hui's father did after hearing An Hui's answer. It turned out that his father put his hand on An Hui's face.

PLAK!

A hard slap landed on An Hui's left cheek. The slap was so hard and it hurt so much. An Hui did not expect that she would receive this slap.

"How can you be so impudent? Who taught you to disobey your parents?" snapped An Hui's father.

An Hui's mood became very bad. She felt like she wanted to kill both of them at once. But her body did not allow her to move swiftly and nimbly.

It could get her caught and it might even lead to An Hui receiving the death penalty. So, for now An Hui can't do it.

'You two are trash! Wait until I teach you a lesson!' grumbled An Hui who was extremely irritated in her heart.

"Why are you just silent?! I asked you a question and you are obliged to answer it!" snapped An Hui's father again.

An Hui who didn't like being yelled at immediately clenched her fists. Then she...
