Rebirth of Splendid Heaven

Chapter 29 Betrayal
Just after the twelfth lunar month, news spread from the palace that Kong Rongxue had been conferred the title of the sixth-rank treasure forest, and the whole Hou Mansion rejoiced again.

An Mujin knew clearly that regardless of whether the eldest lady would use the Hou Mansion as Kong Rongxue's backing, now Kong Rongxue's honor and disgrace were basically tied to the Hou Mansion.

Just as the Hou Mansion was bustling, An Mujin's heart sank again and again.

The more Kong Rongxue was favored, the more An Yunyao would think that her daughter could be the mother of the world, and the more she would find a way to make herself a slave to her daughter.

It's not that An Mujin looks up to herself, it's because An Yunyao looks at her every time she goes to pay her respects to the old lady, so she can't think about that.

An Mujin didn't know why An Yunyao had taken a fancy to him, so he insisted on choosing him to be her daughter's slave.

On the second day after the news of Kong Rongxue's sealing came, the rewards from the palace came down.Usually the Hou Mansion will also receive rewards from the palace, but it will be after Laba, not as early as this year.

Not only the emperor's reward came, but Kong Rongxue's reward also came.By the way, Kong Rongxue now has a new name, Kong Baolin.

Kong Baolin's reward is not as good as the emperor's reward, but it is very comprehensive, almost everyone has it, even a concubine like An Mujin has it.

This is not the strangest thing, what makes An Mujin the most unbearable is that the little eunuch who sent the message asked An Mujin to come forward to receive the reward in front of everyone, and handed a letter to An Mujin, saying that It was specially given to her by Kong Baolin.

An Mujin continued the letter in a daze, feeling everyone's eyes on her with special meaning, she lowered her head, and couldn't help but grasp the letter that made her want to throw it away.

An Mujin was not at all curious about what Kong Baolin wanted to say to her, and she felt a lot of trouble now.An Yunyao looked at her again with that kind of meaningful gaze, and even Lord Hou gave her an extra look.

An Mujin didn't have much affection for Lord Hou as his father.In her more than ten years of vitality, she can count the words she and Lord Hou said with one pair of hands and one pair of feet.So Lord Hou suddenly took the initiative to talk to her, which made her a little unbearable.

Under everyone's surprised eyes, An Mujin did not show the letter to the elders, but brought it back to Jinxiu Garden.

Kong Baolin has a lot to say and can let the father-in-law who passed the message tell her, probably by writing a letter because he doesn't want others to see it.

Back in Jinxiu Garden, Ning Cui urged An Mujin several times to open the letter to have a look, but An Mujin didn't seem to hear it.If it wasn't for the fear that Kong Baolin would ask about it in the future, she really wanted to tear up that letter now.

When it was dark, An Mujin opened the letter and glanced at it. There were not many words on it, and the words were very cryptic.But An Mujin understood. Kong Baolin praised An Mujin for his accurate gaze. An Qiling is indeed not her lover. She is doing well in the palace now. The emperor treats her very well. She likes the emperor. .

After reading the letter, An Mujin asked Ning Cui to burn it.

As soon as the letter was burned, An Yunyao came over with a smile, "Jin'er, my aunt is here to see you."

As soon as An Mujin got up, An Yunyao came in, glanced at the maids in the room, she walked over with a smile and took An Mujin's hand and said affectionately: "Jin'er, the first time I saw you was I think you're clever. I'm not mistaken. Your elder sister Xue'er has been in the palace for so long. Except for sending me those cold things, she didn't bring me any words. She really loves you the most, and even wrote you a letter .”

Upon hearing this, An Mujin quickly pulled his hand out of An Yunyao's, and asked Ning Yan to get a pen and paper.

An Mujin wrote to An Yunyao what she wanted to hear. After reading it, she could not close her mouth from ear to ear, and said to herself: "I just said that my Xueer is not an ordinary person. really can..."

"Jin'er, my aunt thought wrong before. Although you are just a concubine, you are not bad in this marquis's mansion. It is really wronged to let you enter the palace to be a palace maid." An Yunyao said to An Mu when she left. Jin said, but An Mujin smiled and said nothing, thinking that it would be best for An Yunyao to think clearly.

When An Yunyao left, Xiaodie sent her to An Mujin until Xiaodie came back after finishing his dinner.

An Mujin wiped his mouth, and smiled inwardly when he heard Ruju's words, Xiaodie is Kong's maid after all.Now it seems that when she kindly took Xiaodie in, she was not necessarily doing a good deed, but asking for trouble for herself.

Fortunately, the maids around her are very smart, as long as she looks at her, they will know what she wants to do.

"Miss, it's getting colder and colder. I think it's going to snow soon. Now that it's snowing, go to the kitchen to get food. It's cold here, and the road is so cold that it's not easy to walk. How about Light the fire and cook in advance like in previous years?" Ning Yan asked with a smile.

An Mujin nodded approvingly, this is a good idea.

"Xiao Ping, who was cooking before, has gone to another place, so who will cook?" Ning Cui faced a dilemma.

"Miss, trust me, let me cook. I can also cook Suzhou dishes, which are delicious." Xiaodie came in from the outside, bringing the chill into the room.

An Mujin nodded to Xiaodie, this is the best.

Xiaodie's cooking skills are good, and the food she cooks is delicious, and it still has the taste of Jiangnan. An Mujin eats it very sweet every time.

Xiaodie agreed to work in the kitchen, so she didn't have to hang around An Mujin's side, and she had a lot of free time, sometimes she couldn't be found several times a day.When she couldn't find her, she was always in Luyuan.

Anyway, Xiaodie was originally the maid of the Kong family, so An Mujin was not very sad about her betrayal.

After the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the sky was gloomy and terrible, and it snowed heavily that night.

When I woke up the next day, the whole world turned white.An Mujin let out a long breath, which turned into a long white stream of water vapor in the air.

"Miss, please have breakfast before going to greet the old lady. I have already prepared the meal." Xiaodie came out of the kitchen.

An Mujin shook her head at her, Jinxiu Garden is far away from Qinxiang Garden, if she had breakfast, by the time she went, the other sisters would have already paid their respects.

Holding Ning Yan's hand, An Mujin moved his little feet and walked outside slowly.

Standing and watching An Mujin walk away, Xiaodie entered the room, saw Lin's mother sorting An Mujin's books, smiled and said, "Lin's mother is busy."

"Miss Xiaodie, you're here. It's cold outside, come and bake." Mother Lin put down the book in her hand, and pulled Xiaodie to sit in front of the brazier.

Xiaodie rubbed her hands, took out a purse from her arms, handed it to Mama Lin, and said: "Mom, I have been cared by you since I came here, this is a little bit of my heart, please accept it. "

Mother Lin took a look at the purse with a smile, and also took a rusty handkerchief from her body and handed it over, "Girl, you are too polite, take this as a thank you gift from mother, and you have to accept it, otherwise I will not accept this purse." No more."

Xiaodie was a bit embarrassed, and finally took the things from Mother Lin's hand. After a moment of silence, she said, "Mom, what kind of medicine does Miss usually take?"

"Oh, Miss's health is not good, and she can't stand it when it's cold. Those medicines are used to drive away the cold." Mother Lin explained.

Xiaodie looked at Mama Lin suspiciously, and wanted to speak, but heard someone calling her mother outside, and soon saw Ruju running in from outside.

"Miss Ruju, what are you doing? Why are you in such a panic?" Mother Lin scolded, Ruju lowered her head and smiled happily when she went to see Xiaodie. With a little bird.

The whole body is black, with a mass of colorful hair on top of its head. It is trembling in Ruju's hands. At a glance, it can be seen that it was caught by Ruju because it was too cold to fly.

It snowed heavily overnight, and all the roads were covered with a thick layer of snow. An Mujin's shoes and socks were wet after walking for a while.As soon as the wind blew, she shivered fiercely in the wind. It was too cold this day.

After finally getting to Qinxiang Garden, she only saw An Mujin in the room alone, and did not see the old lady. She thought they had all come to pay her respects.

An Muxue had seen An Mujin a long time ago, but she didn't greet him as enthusiastically as before, but sat on a chair and watched the little An Mujin walk into the room step by step with cold eyes.

An Mujin had also seen An Muxue a long time ago. She pretended that she hadn't seen it, and walked unhurriedly. When she walked into the house, she stomped her feet carefully, took off her cloak, and then walked in carefully. into the house.

"Sister!" An Muxue yelled, and then An Mujin raised his head, as if he had just seen An Muxue.

An Muxue looked at An Mujin seriously, always feeling that this little girl was pretending to be with her.But looking at her innocent eyes, An Muxue felt that she was thinking too much.

"Sister, what did sister Xue'er write in the letter to you last time? When did your relationship become so close?" The first sentence was a curious inquiry, and the latter sentence was Chi Guoguo's envy and hatred.

An Mujin pretended not to understand what An Muxue said, shook his head with a smile, then lowered his head and straightened his clothes.

Seeing that An Mujin was ignoring her like this, An Muxue clenched her little fists. If her mother hadn't told her to be patient, she would not want to give this little bitch a good face now.

Proudly turning her head away, An Muxue looked outside the door. An Muqin and Sister Yu had already come over...

The old lady was supported by the mandarin ducks and walked out, seeing that almost everyone had arrived, she coughed and said, "It's too cold, please forgive me from now on."

"Old Madam, we greet you out of respect for our filial piety, how can this filial piety be cancelled?" An Muxue said very sensiblely.

The old lady liked An Muxue's duplicity and sweet words, and she praised with a smile: "Xue'er is really getting more and more sensible. It's just that the snow is too heavy today, everyone will greet you after the snow melts."

An Muxue thanked the old lady for her love on behalf of all the younger sisters, which made the old lady laugh out loud.

Seeing that An Muxue easily attracted the old lady's attention, An Mujin sighed inwardly.With someone like An Muxue around, and the rest wanting to stand out, it seems difficult to get the old lady's attention.

Fortunately, she doesn't want to get the attention of the old lady, the less the old lady pays attention to her, the better.

As soon as she thought this way, the old lady's eyes fell on An Mujin, "Jin'er, you will stay later, I have a few words to ask you."

When An Mujin heard what the old lady said, his expression became tense, and he felt a bad feeling.

When the other sisters had left, An Muxue would also leave, and the old lady also stayed behind.

Seeing that An Muxue was also left behind, An Mujin's heart was only half relieved.
