My Princess Holds Superpowers-Chapter 1431 Where Did She Go? 375

Although Sikong Wuyou was present, An Ning was mindful of others’ perceptions and didn’t stay in the room for too long.

In the countryside, interactions between men and women are not as stringent as in wealthy households, but the seating arrangement is still separated.

As the focus of today’s event, An Ning wasn’t greatly hindered and sat beside An Dafu. After all, everyone at this table was from the Gao Family, like half-relatives.

Sikong Wuyou, given his identity and status, was naturally placed at the head seat, next to An Dafu on the other side.

The crowd was unaware of his exact relationship with An Dafu, but judging by his impressive demeanor and extraordinary appearance, he was clearly not ordinary.

Therefore, despite their curiosity, no one was tactless enough to ask.

However, the Gao Family did know Sikong Wuyou.

Especially Gao Yaozu and the old man, the several dozen paddlings had left a lasting impression on them, enough for a lifetime.

Fearing Sikong Wuyou’s displeasure, the old man of the Gao Family wished to curry favor but dared not, remaining conflicted.

It wasn’t until Gao Dashu returned from outside and asked, "An Ning, has your mother arrived yet?"

"No, she wasn’t feeling well, so she went home to rest early. Why? Isn’t she at home?" An Ning replied.

Gao Dashu said, "No, there’s no one at home. I thought she might have come early for the meal."

Gao Dagen from the fourth family spoke in confusion, "At this time, both families are the main focus today. Where could the third sister-in-law have gone?"

"Oh dear, a sickly woman using the excuse of going home to rest but is not at home. Where do you think she could have gone? Hehe..." The most disliked was Gao Dashu, who spoke carelessly and laughed unpleasantly.

Not only An Ning, but even Gao Dashu’s face darkened alongside.

An Ning stood up angrily, "If you don’t speak, Uncle, no one will mistake you for a mute!"

Gao Dashu laughed again, "Indeed, now that the real father of a big official has returned, An Ning, my niece, you speak so confidently!"

Sikong Wuyou stood up at this moment, and the oppressive air suddenly descended.

Only then did the old man remember the County Magistrate was present, and he hastily scolded, "Second child, if you don’t want to eat, get out and stop spouting nonsense here."

Gao Dashu did harbor some fear of the old man.

Even though he was unwilling, he still sat down, albeit with an unpleasant expression.

The old man shot a reluctant glance at Sikong Wuyou, saying, "My second child acts foolishly, apologies to Lord County Magistrate. Please forgive, forgive..."

Looks can be deceiving for this young Lord, who, when angry, is anything but small.

Last time, though he wasn’t beaten, Gao Yaozu spent a solid half month bedridden.

Sikong Wuyou barely acknowledged him and instead turned to An Ning, "I’ll go with you to find her."

An Ning nodded without refusing, "Alright."

At this moment, An Ning was not in the mood to think of other matters, her mind solely occupied by where her mother might have gone.

A person in ill health couldn’t have traveled far, especially on such an important day as today.

Moreover, with both families nearby and half the village gathered, if Mrs. Yan had gone out, surely someone should’ve noticed.

Unless she deliberately hid to avoid being seen.
