Bab 154: Scumbag

Lily smiled triumphantly as her eyes glanced at the girl whose head was bowed. 

"Child, why don't you accompany me to tea? Your mom told me how you have been learning to brew tea, "Old Madam Lu said to Lily who was now smiling at her. 

Lily nodded her head and followed the old lady like an obedient little girl. 

"Young Miss, are you alright?" Housekeeper Liu asked the girl as she patted her head but the girl surprised her by tightly hugging her. Her body was trembling badly as she hugged her. 

"Auntie, I want to go to my mom, "An Xiulan whispered. She couldn't understand the intensity of fear she would have whenever she was facing the old woman. She didn't know why she always got so scared. But she could tell that it was instinctual. If the old lady even pointed her finger at her, her body flinches on its own. 

 She didn't like this feeling. It was as if she had an urge to cry but she couldn't tell why it was so.
