My Princess Holds Superpowers-Chapter 1496 - 1497: Sowing Discord

Although she didn’t see Lord County Magistrate when she arrived, Bai Su the guard mentioned that once she was here, everything should revolve around Miss An Ning’s well-being.

So, what the cook said wasn’t exactly a lie.

Seeing the cook’s audacious demeanor, Xinghua’s previously good-natured smile gradually faded.

Looking up at the cook who didn’t seem to care about her, a flicker of annoyance crossed Xinghua’s mind.

"Madam represents Lord County Magistrate’s interests and must be considering his welfare wholeheartedly. But, haven’t you noticed during these few days here that the relationship between Sister An Ning and Uncle Erlai seems to be much more than just that of a godfather and goddaughter?"

"What do you mean by that?" The cook originally just intended to warn her not to disturb An Ning anymore.

But she didn’t expect to hear such words from Xinghua.

The implication seemed to suggest a private affair between An Ning and her godfather!

A private affair...

The cook suddenly fell silent.

During these days, An Dafu often came here, and it wasn’t hard for her to miss the unconscious intimacy between him and An Ning.

However, with their current ostensible relationship being father and daughter, she hadn’t thought much of it.

Now, with Xinghua pointing it out directly, she recalled and indeed found something fishy.

"What do I mean? Surely, madam can figure that out, can’t you?"

After saying this, Xinghua immediately turned her head.

Having been timid since childhood, this was the first time she mustered such courage.

She could clearly feel the cold sweat in her palms about to drip in the icy winter.

This was her first bold move in life, a gamble.

She was betting on whether the cook was loyal to Sikong Wuyou or An Ning!

If the cook was loyal solely to Sikong Wuyou, she would surely inform him of everything Xinghua guessed today.

But if the cook sought to align with An Ning, then she would have completely failed.

Besides, rekindling her relationship with An Ning in the future would be impossible.

After the cook returned, her heart was also beating rapidly.

An Ning sensed something was off but, upon inquiry, the cook did not relay what Xinghua had mentioned. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Additionally, it suggested that even if the cook leaned toward An Ning, it was due to Sikong Wuyou.

In the dark night, the cold wind howled.

A young man secretly arrived in Long’an County, heading toward Taohua Village.

However, just as he was about to reach his destination, several people in black suddenly appeared and abducted him.

The next day, at noon, a carriage stopped in front of An Ning’s house.

Bai Su lifted the carriage curtain as Sikong Wuyou stepped out, holding Xiaoniu.

The cook stood at the door, bending over, not daring to lift her head.

After Sikong Wuyou carried Xiaoniu through the door, the cook finally bowed to Bai Su, "Bai Su the guard, this old servant has something to report, might we speak privately?"

Bai Su instinctively assumed something happened on An Ning’s side, so he merely glanced at the cook and walked aside.

Reaching a secluded spot, Bai Su finally stopped.

The cook, not daring to stand too close, began slowly reporting the matters related to An Ning from a distance of a couple of steps.
