Husband (1)

Hearing Anna’s question, Lily panicked for a moment, but immediately raised her chin, and said nonchalantly: “So what if I did? Consider yourself lucky, Young Master Parrish is very generous, and was able to look past your rudeness so that you could come home alive and well!” 

Lily stood there after she pushed Anna. After seeing Anna being carried into the carriage by Young Master Parrish, she panicked for a while. She was afraid that Anna had found out that she pushed her, and feared that Young Master Parrish would be bewitched by Anna’s appearance. She didn’t dare to stay any longer, and ran back in a panic. It was not until she saw Anna limping back just now that it became obvious to her thatYoung Master Parrish had not been seduced by Anna at all, and she was relieved.

   Tomorrow she will go to the earl’s estate to work. By then, she would no longer have a regard for Anna, and it would not matter even if she admitted to pushing her!

Listening to Lily confessing without guilt, Anna’s heart was filled with anger.

   If it weren’t for Lily, the demon would have never targeted her. In the carriage when she saw the demon in Young Master Parrish’s body, she almost cried. In her previous life, she was too scared to even watch horror movies! 

   After rejecting the devil several times and being able to come home safely, Anna still felt like it was a dream.

   But as long as she thought about it for too long, she still felt heart palpitations, and the culprit of all this was Lily, who had harmed her and did not know how to repent.  

Anna felt that if she let Lily go, she would be dishonoring the moral values of society. 

   She suddenly drew close, surprising Lily who looked at her with widened eyes. Anna stared into Lily’s eyes and said, “Do you think you will definitely get this job? I don’t think so because I will snatch it first.”

Anna never opposed Lily so directly before. When she suddenly saw her like this, Lily was taken aback and almost jumped up and shouted: “You dream on! Do you think the lord will let a lowly commoner like you work? Without a recommendation, you can’t even enter the door of the mansion!”

   Anna did not quarrel with her, only said: “Don’t “lowly commoner” this, “lowly commoner” that, scolding me is scolding yourself. As for whether I can go in, let’s wait and see.”

After she finished speaking, Anna pushed her aside and went back home. Lily remained outside yelling and stomping her feet for a while before returning. 

Anna said that she was going to snatch the job from Lily, and it wasn’t an impulsive claim.

She thought through it clearly. If the demon was still targeting her, then it didn’t matter what she did. If the demon didn’t pay attention to her, then it definitely wouldn’t matter if she went to work in the kitchen of the earl estate. She wouldn’t come into contact with the demon who had possessed Young Master Parrish.

   So even though she had boasted in front of Lily just now, she truly wanted to give it a try.

   But what if she couldn’t even get past the door? 

  If she couldn’t get past it, then she couldn’t get past it. It was hard to avoid receiving a cold-shoulder treatment when looking for a job. She had encountered such situations many times in modern times and in this world. As an adult, how could she not even be able to bear this setback?

  Anna tore the wheat bread that little Tim gave her into small pieces, went to her room first, and gave little Evan and Adele one piece each. The two took it with wide-eyed eyes and surprise, and said: “Thank you Anna!”

   Anna saw the two eating well, smiled, turned around and went out, knocked on the bedroom door next door, and walked in after hearing Gaea’s response.

   “Mom, this is white bread from little Tim. I divided it into six portions. I have already given one portion to Adele and one portion to Little Evan.”

   Gaea put down the glass beads in her hand and took the bread Anna handed over, looking at the small portion, she seemed to be in a daze.

   “Mama?”

Gaea returned to her senses, smiled softly, put the small portion of white bread aside, patted her side and said: “Anna, sit down, Mama has something to tell you.”

   Anna had some doubts, walked over and sat down. But because she accidentally aggravated the wound, she couldn’t help furrowing her brows..

   Gaea quickly asked: “What’s the matter?”

   “Nothing.” Anna shook her head.

   Gaea frowned, suddenly lifted Anna’s skirt and saw the hideous wound on her knee.

   She exclaimed: “Goddess, how did you get hurt?”

   “I fell accidentally.” Anna had no choice but to give an explanation. She didn’t want to say much about the matter involving the demon.

Gaea naturally did not expect that her daughter would encounter such a weird thing as “being framed and pushed in front of the carriage of the nobleman, encountering the son of a lord who was possessed by a demon, and then refusing several of the demon’s marriage proposals to ensure the safety of her soul.” After looking at Anna’s wound distressingly for a long time, she sighed, “It’s Mama and Papa who are useless, we are unable to take good care of you.”

  Anna quickly said: “No, Mama, we have never gone hungry, you have done well enough.”

   Their family lived at a subsistent level with barely adequate food and clothing, but this was a problem of the general environment. What could insignificant civilians do in such an environment?

   But of course Anna was not willing to sit around and wait for death like this…even if she were to sit around and wait for death, she wanted to eat better and live better.

Gaea didn’t know if she had taken Anna’s words to heart, and was silent for a while and said, “Anna, you are seventeen years old this year.”

   Anna’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly sat down.

   Gaea’s mention of age made Anna a little nervous. The age of marriage in this world was relatively old. There were people who got married between the ages of thirteen and thirty, and there were also many people who married for a second or third time. However, common people at the bottom class generally got married earlier, while the nobles got married a little later. According to the original body’s knowledge, the average age of marriage for aristocratic women was twenty-three or twenty-four years old.
