She knew that recently her parents have been fretting over the son of her uncle, An Zi Ran As for her own personal feelings towards An Zi Ran, she disdained hily and fat If it weren't for the fact that consanguinity couldn't be severed, she wouldn't even want to recognize him as a relative An Xue Yan didn't want her parents to take their anger out on her, so she decided to take another route back to her roo around the corner of the hallway, she happened to encounter An Yao Zong as acting sneakily

An Chang De and his wife gave Yao Zong that name because they hoped that soreat They wanted hi honor to his ancestors Instead, not only did he not like to study, but he also liked to gaot everyhouses He even racked up quite the debt behind his parents' backs Only An Xue Yan knew about this, and the only reason she didn't say anything was because he bribed her

An Yao Zong was hiding from his parents, so when he saw that it was his sister, he breathed a sigh of relief ”Oh, it's you, Xue Yan You scaredthe ), and to not bother me You absolutely must not tell father and mother that I am not home”

An Xue Yan opened up her palm and extended her hand towards her brother ”Sure This ti swatter aside her hand ”Don't try this with ain You snuck out today too I have yet to report you to father andfee Today, you're out of luck”

An Xue Yan thought about the consequences of her parents finding out and knew that they would ground her at home, so she did not persist Instead, she said with enthusiasuess what I heard today while I was outside I bet you can't guess what it is”

”Is that all?”

An Xue Yan blinked her eyes

An Yao Zong did not bother to hear what else she had to say With an ieo first”

An Xue Yan said with a smile, ”Brother, yours is already old news Father and e to some official from Jun Zi City But do you know the identity of theheard schadenfreude in her words, and his eyes brightened ”(Little) Sister, are you saying that An Zi Ran did not marry some official?”

An Xue Yan nodded proudly ”Of course How can a h he did not e partner is a business was excited

An Xue Yan enunciated each word individually ”It! Is! Absolutely! True!”

An Yao Zong slaed directions and headed for the great hall instead An Xue Yan saw his sudden change in attitude He no longer wanted to go out She quickly gave chase

”Brother, didn't you have a previous engageood plan Not only would it eat up our parents' tiht not have to worry about spending 's head revolved around this thought He was truly short of money His debt must be paid off within a stipulated period of time, and if he sold the An family's land there would bethe An family property

An Change De was just drinking some tea to moisten his throat when he choked and sprayed the tea out everywhere But he couldn't be bothered to wipe it He stared at his eldest son with rounded eyes His expression was very comical

The first one to react was Wu Zhi She was so excited she stood up and walked up to An Yao Zong She grabbed his ar, is what you said true?”

The strength of her grasp was starting to hurt An Yao Zong, but he understood her feelings ”Of course it is true If you don't believe me, you can ask Sister This is what she heard when she was outside”

Inadvertently, he had thrown his sister under the bus
