"Ah..."
An Ning gasped in pain.
Madam Yan was truly hitting her this time, not just pretending.
So, An Ning, who had only ever been slapped once before and never been beaten, was instantly bewildered and called out in confusion, "Mother..."
Seeing her like this, Madam Yan was so furious she wanted to beat her up to vent her anger, but she couldn't help but feel a bit of pity.
With reddened eyes, Madam Yan squatted down, "You foolish girl, can't you be more considerate? Do you know, I didn't sleep a wink last night, and how could I not know you weren't here since midnight?"
An Ning was still a bit dazed; the differing upbringing naturally led to different views on the severity of the matter.
An Ning knew staying out all night with Sikong Wuyou wasn't right, but she never thought it would be so serious.
Madam Yan did not think so; a girl's reputation was paramount, and even an unmarried couple shouldn't meet often, let alone spend a night alone together.
