Rebirth of Splendid Heaven

Chapter 48 Recognition
Knowing that her aunt is almost like a slave, but seeing her aunt serve the old lady like a slave, An Mujin felt somewhat uncomfortable.But she didn't show it, she just walked in hating the rules, and greeted the old lady and the second aunt.

The old lady looked at An Mujin slowly, said to sit down, and then said formally after seeing An Mujin sit down, "Jin'er, I have two things for you. The first thing, I want Take a look at your emerald butterfly. The second thing, I want to know if that butterfly belongs to Xue Er."

An Mujin looked down at the second aunt, who gave her a peaceful smile, An Mujin understood, looked at the old lady and said: "The old lady misunderstood, I have already returned the emerald butterfly to Sister Xueer. It was her misremembering that she dropped it on the road and was picked up by my aunt, who then returned it to her."

Hasn't this happened a long time ago?Moreover, the old lady didn't have any doubts about the result of the treatment at that time. Why did she think of that incident now?

"You really think I'm old and blind. Although the workmanship of the two emerald butterflies is almost the same, I can still tell that the one picked up by Second Auntie is smaller than the one I gave Xue'er Just like what Xueer said, they are two different butterflies, one male and one female."

"Old madam, Jin'er is young, so I don't understand what you mean." An Mujin didn't have a good excuse, so he pretended to be confused and picked his fingernails, as if he didn't see the old madam's sharp gaze.

Seeing An Mujin like this, the old lady stretched out her foot and kicked the second aunt away, and said angrily: "Jin'er, this matter is very important, do you want to say it or not?"

An Mujin muttered softly: "I don't understand what the old lady means."

"You!" The old lady was annoyed by An Mujin's attitude, pointed at An Mujin and called you for a long time, and finally turned her attention to Second Aunt, "You taught me..."

"The old lady misunderstood. Jin'er has been with the eldest lady since she was three years old. My aunt is just a slave. How can she teach the second lady." The second aunt lowered her head and answered in a low voice.

"You, you!" The old lady pointed at the second aunt, and then pointed at An Mujin, "Do you really think I don't know anything? If it was really taught by the lady, why is Jin'er's handwriting better than Xue'er's?" It’s pretty good-looking. Even if it’s written nonsense, Xue’er can’t keep up with half of Jin’er’s level.”

"Old madam, Jin'er is still a child, if you come here for something, don't scare her." The second aunt hurriedly kowtowed. She had been here for a long time and the old madam didn't say why she was looking for her. She didn't know about calling An Mujin.

"The marriage contract between the Hou Mansion and the Meng Family was made by me and the old Lord Hou. Although the Meng Family was not very rich at that time, it was also a scholarly family, and it was worthy of our Hou Mansion. But I didn't expect a big fire. Only one daughter was left in the Meng family. At that time, I did not agree to this marriage. Who knew that this daughter of the Meng family was very capable, so she came to the Hou's mansion with a marriage certificate. The old Hou is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. After hearing that there was only one young lady and one maid left in the Meng family, he missed his friend and talked about your marriage. Even if I stopped him, he wouldn't listen." At this point, the old lady sighed slowly Take a breath.

An Mujin took a peek at the old lady, and found that her eyes were a little empty, she was just looking ahead, not knowing what she was looking at.Looking at Second Aunt again, her expression was also dull, as if following the old lady's words, she entered the memories of that year.

"You are a maid of the Meng family, and you know how much I opposed this marriage at that time. I was really angry at that time, and I didn't even want to see that Miss Meng's family. After so many years, she She also gave birth to two sons and a daughter for our Hou Mansion. I gradually liked her a little bit. After all, I am old, and the Hou Mansion also needs someone to take care of it. Her ability is also good. It makes me very satisfied to be the master, and to ask for my opinion on important matters. After getting along for almost 20 years, I also believe that she is the daughter-in-law of our Houfu. It's just..."

The old lady paused suddenly, and looked at the second aunt, who happened to be looking up at the old lady right now.The two looked at each other, Second Aunt immediately stopped talking, she didn't know if she was scared or what, she didn't dare to look up again.

"Second aunt, you are also capable, otherwise the eldest lady would not have been fighting with Master Hou because of you." When the old lady said this, second aunt lowered her head even more.

An Mujin sat below, holding the cup in his hand, thinking about what the old lady told her to come to know about the Emerald Butterfly at the beginning.Now recalling so many past events, what is the purpose?

"Jin'er." The old lady called, and An Mujin came back from her contemplation, and smiled: "Old lady, I'm here."

Seeing this smile, the old lady raised her hand holding the handkerchief, as if she wanted An Mujin to pass by, but she didn't say anything, and An Mujin pretended not to understand what her gesture meant.

"Time is not forgiving!" The old lady sighed again, and finally said: "I only recognize the eldest lady as the eldest lady of the Hou's mansion, and the second aunt as the second aunt of the Hou's mansion. Second aunt, do you understand?"

The second aunt immediately nodded at this moment: "Old lady, the second aunt understands."

"Just understand! You all go down, I want to be alone!" The old lady sighed, picked up the prayer beads on the table, and stopped looking at the mother and daughter.

The old lady asked the second aunt if she understood, and the second aunt said she understood, what did she understand, why didn't she understand at all?An Mujin couldn't figure it out, she felt like she was watching the excitement, but the excitement was also hers, and she didn't understand it at all.

"Old lady, what do you mean by being clear?" An Mujin is not a curious person, but since this matter is related to her, she had better ask clearly.

The old lady opened her eyes, and the prayer beads in her hands kept turning, she looked at An Mujin and said, "You are a child after all, you don't understand anything! It's best if you don't understand, you help your aunt to go back."

"Old lady..." As soon as An Mujin opened his mouth, Second Aunt interrupted, "Jin'er, help me go back."

An Mujin was unwilling, and knew that according to Second Aunt's personality, she would not tell herself.But if I ask the old lady now, she doesn't want to tell me from her appearance.

"You're almost in good health, remember to come and say hello tomorrow." The old lady added when An Mujin and the others had just walked to the door.

An Mujin said absently, saying hello again.

On the way, An Mujin asked the second aunt what the old lady meant by those words, and the second aunt told An Mujin not to inquire about anything, just live her life well.

And the second aunt did not ask An Mujin to send her to Ming Pavilion, and sent An Mujin away at the fork in the road.

Seeing Second Auntie's back gradually disappear behind the rockery, An Mujin's thoughts were still in the old lady's words.

Isn't the eldest lady the eldest lady, and the second aunt is the second aunt? What can be understood by these words?

"Ningyan, Ningcui, can you understand what the old lady said?" An Mujin thought for a while, then asked the people around her.

"The slave is stupid, the lady doesn't even understand, and the slave doesn't even understand." Ning Yan replied.

An Mujin let out a long breath of relief, feeling an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

About the time Second Aunt returned to Ming Pavilion, An Mujin slowly went to Jinxiu Garden.Seeing all the flowers blooming in the garden along the way, she felt depressed, so she went to sit in the garden for a while.

Not long after sitting down, I heard footsteps, then stopped, and then heard a maid crying in the rockery by the edge of the garden.

The voice sounded crisp, as if it was the cry of a child.

Ning Cui was very curious, and with An Mujin's consent, she ran over to have a look.After a while, Ning Cui led a little girl from the rockery and walked over.

The little girl was very pink and cute, her face looked a bit like the Fifth Concubine's mother, she was An Mujin's youngest sister Zhen.

"Sister Zhen, why are you crying there alone? Where are your maids?" It's okay if An Mujin didn't ask, but when she asked, Sister Zhen cried even more miserably.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

An Mujin hugged Sister Zhen in his arms, wiped her face and hands with a handkerchief, and comforted her softly: "Sister Zhen, don't cry. If you have anything to say, tell Sister, Sister will help you decide."

Hearing what An Mujin said, Sister Zhen raised her head and asked, "Sister, is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true. Could it be that your maid is disobedient and has bullied you, and my sister is going to beat her up now." An Mujin said confidently, clenching her fists and waving them in the air, as if she could blow her away with one blow. The bad guys knock down the same.

"It's Big Sister." Sister Zhen choked, and continued: "Big Sister said that I was a broom star, that I was born with evil spirits, and that I was so young that I even bumped into the old Hou Ye. I will definitely not be able to marry in the future. I can go up the mountain to be my aunt."

"Wuuu..." It seemed that the sister-in-law had dealt a great blow to Sister Zhen, and she couldn't help crying again when she mentioned going up the mountain to be a sister-in-law.

"Sister, I don't want to be a sister-in-law, and I don't want to marry. I want to be with my mother, can't I?" Sister Zhen looked up at An Mujin and asked innocently.

When An Mujin heard that sister Zhen was crying because of An Muxue, she became very angry. An Muxue is such a good sister, to say such things to a six-year-old child.

However, since Sister Zhen is young, it is easy to say something wrong, for example, a concubine cannot call her aunt a mother.

"Sister Zhen, you are a concubine, you can't call Auntie your mother, you can only be called Auntie, understand?" An Mujin decided to correct Sister Zhen's address for Auntie first.

Sister Zhen rubbed her eyes, looked at An Mujin in fear and said, "Sister, you won't tell mother about this, will you? Please, don't tell mother, or mother will embarrass aunt again. I don't want to watch When my aunt is crying, every time she cries, Sister Zhen's heart hurts, it hurts..."

"Don't worry, my sister won't tell my mother. Then you can tell me now, where have your maids gone?" An Mujin asked.

"They, they were held down by the big sister's people and hit with a board. I didn't want to be beaten, so I ran out." Sister Zhen said, pointing in the direction of Ruixueyuan.
