Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 22

The carriage left Lin'an City and drove towards the official road for three hours before reaching the small town outside Hui'an City. Yin Huan opened his eyes in a daze and was awakened by the sound of firecrackers coming from the window. Lying in Mrs. Mu's arms, while Mrs. Mu maintained a posture, flipping through the book on the table in front of him with one hand, and resting his other hand on his back, patting him occasionally.

"Are you awake?" Mrs. Mu looked down at her wide-open eyes, fluttering her eyes without speaking, and touched her cheek, "Are you still confused?"

"Mother, you're so pretty." Yin Huan said softly, yawned slightly, got up and stared at the book on the table in a daze, a picture of a sleepy figure, silly and cute.

Siqi beside him burst out laughing. He had never heard anyone praise his wife so much. Looking at Mrs. Mu, she really had a faint smile on her face, "After passing this small town, we will arrive at Hui'an."

Yin Huan was only fully awake at this moment. She was leaning on the window with her small hands, looking at the river bank she was passing by, with a smile on her lips. She was still a child, so naturally she had to use a child's way to win her mother's favor...

If it is said that Lin'an City is a place where many great families gather, Hui'an City near Lin'an City is the only one of several. One of the most famous families in Hui'an City is the Mu family's natal family, Mu Guogong's Mansion.

The reason why the Mu family is so famous is due to the efforts of the previous generations of the Mu family and this generation of Mu Guogong. From the founder of the country to the current cabinet scholar, the Mu family has always had a status that cannot be underestimated in the court. In such a big family, the Mu family naturally has the capital to be proud of, even after marrying into the Gu family and now that Gu Dalang is dead, no one will underestimate her.

In the previous life, Gu Yinshuang was able to marry into the General's Mansion with such an identity. In addition to the Gu family, there was also the promotion of the Mu family and the Six Princes' Mansion behind her.

"Here we are." Yin Huan thought, the carriage arrived at the gate of Mu's mansion not long after, Mrs. Mu, who got the news early in the morning, sent someone to wait at the gate, and when she saw them arriving, she hurriedly took them to Mrs. Mu's yard to go.

The heir daughter's Mu family only went to the two wives of the Mu family that day. After all, they were married daughters, and the Mu family could not mobilize their teachers to go there, so Mrs. Mu especially looked forward to her daughter's return this time.

Mrs. Mu and Yin Huan arrived at Mrs. Mu's yard in a small sedan chair. Yin Huan got off the sedan chair and followed Mrs. Mu towards the yard, and walked around a corridor to Mrs. Mu's residence. Can hear hearty laughter from inside.

Go in and see that there are only Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Mu Er sitting inside. Mrs. Mu looked at Yin Huan kindly and waved, "Come and sit here."

Yin Huan raised his head and glanced at Mrs. Mu, then walked up to Mrs. Mu, first called out to his grandmother respectfully, then leaned against her, and did not want to sit on the couch.

Mrs. Mu's heart was very warm when she was called by her grandmother. She was only a daughter of the Mu family. From the time she got married, she thought that this child would have a good life, until the twins of the Mu family died. It's all uncomfortable. When Gu's son-in-law dies at the end of the year, the daughter's life in the Gu family is even more difficult, but the child refuses to let her come back. Now seeing her daughter's complexion is much better, no matter whether it is her own birth or not. It's not as important as Mu's life.

"Hey, Wan Ting, I see how this child is so thin." Mrs. Mu gave Yin Huan a hug, and said to Mrs. Mu who was sitting down. Mrs. Mu Er, who had just smiled brightly, answered, " Look at what you said, mother, everyone said that I lost weight, and that boy Jingran complained to me every day, saying that the food was not as good as that in grandma's yard."

"Based on what you said about nutrition all day long, this child is growing up, so he naturally wants to eat well." At Mrs. Mu's age, she naturally loves her grandchildren a lot. Children cannot be allowed to eat whatever they want.

"Yes, yes, what mother said is true, then I have to let that boy come to your place for dinner more, so that he won't keep saying that I abused him." Mrs. Mu Er's Mrs. Jiang beat Mrs. Mu's shoulder and smiled. replied.

Only then did Mrs. Mu let go of Yin Huan and said to Mrs. Mu, "How long will you stay at home this time?"

"It's time to go back on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year. There are many things at home, and I have to enter the palace. I think it's time to pay back the generous gift that the sixth prince sent me a year ago." Mrs. Mu asked Yin Huan to sit aside, and a servant girl brought it back. When the fruit plate came up, Siqi peeled some fruit for her.

"Now that the title of the Gu family has been given to their second child, doesn't it mean that no one has anything to say to you, the housekeeper?" Mrs. Mu snorted softly. Before her son-in-law died, he could stay in Hui'an City for ten and a half months. Well, now that her daughter is alone, this Gu family is going to bully others.

"Mother told the matter in front of the second younger brother and sister, and the second younger brother and the others have no objection, but what did mother hear?" Mrs. Mu knew that Mrs. Mu would not say such things for no reason, and asked Siqi to bring Yin Huan Go outside for a walk, said seriously.

"Mother just heard about it." Jiang Shi saw that her mother-in-law was a little angry, and looked at Mu Shi with a sigh, "It was what the eldest lady of the Yan family said when my sister-in-law went to Yan's house a few years ago."

"What did she say?"

"This is the Gu family who is staying with my sister-in-law. Originally, she was happy to congratulate her on becoming the wife of the country. How could she have gone? The matter of this meal had to be discussed with the kitchen in advance, saying that it was the Gu family. After asking about the rules, she found out that the housekeeper is still the eldest wife of the Gu family, so she asked the elder sister-in-law if the Mufu is not in charge of the Duke's wife." After Mrs. Mu Er finished speaking, Mu's expression changed Somewhat sinking.

"The eldest lady of the Yan family is a powerful character. You are alone in the Gu family. Although you have adopted a child, you are not a son after all. You can hear the gossiping people with their ears covered. Gu Guogong and his wife don't know what to say now. But there is a lot of power among the head of the family, and the second lady is not stupid."

Mrs. Mu naturally understands what Mrs. Mu said. Even if he has the order of a first-rank lady, he is not as good as a man who does not go to court or become an official. Maybe she was asked to hand over the housekeeping rights of the Gu family, but she couldn't speak up, but she couldn't stop gossip.

But she, Mu Wanting, can't be hit by a few gossips.

"Second siblings are not stupid, but such a big Gu family is not something that she can take care of when I give it to her. Since I am a widow, I don't care what they say. What is the difference between son and daughter? Don't worry, mother. These daughters understand." Mrs. Mu comforted Mrs. Mu.

"It's fine if you think about it, your elder brother and the others are afraid that you won't be able to think about it." Mrs. Mu was relieved a lot when she saw her say that. Compared with the appearance of her daughter when her son-in-law left last year, Mrs. Mu is satisfied now. many.

Mrs. Mu glanced at Mrs. Jiang and said with a smile, "Mother doesn't know, elder brother and second elder brother don't know my temperament, why can't I think about it."...

By the small pond in Mu's house, Siqi and a maid in Mrs. Mu's room took Yin Huan for a walk, and when they arrived at the warm pavilion by the pond, the maid quickly brought over hot tea. Sipping it, he looked at the maids who were shoveling snow by the pond.

After a while, several people came into Yin Huan's sight, one of them was particularly conspicuous, whose figure was almost twice the size of the rest.

They seemed to be here for Yin Huan, seeing that she was here, a group of people came over, three boys and one girl.

"Are you coming back with your aunt today?" The younger girl looked at Yin Huan and asked curiously, and the fat man behind him immediately said, "Mu Yilin, you are so stupid, there is no one else in Mu's mansion except you. , she is of course the little sister brought back by my aunt!"

When Mu Yilin was called out like this, she burst into tears immediately, and Mu Jingxuan at the side gloated and said, "You're done with the third brother, and you made the younger sister cry again, let's see if the second aunt won't beat you up at night!"

Mu Jingran blushed and puffed up his mouth, and suddenly he was speechless, looking at his mother's precious daughter helplessly, a little impatient, "Girls are troublesome, they cry every now and then!"

Saying this, Mu Yilin was even more difficult to coax. She looked at Mu Jingran aggrievedly, her small mouth pouted, as if it was the tendency to howl and cry for you whenever you said anything.

"Third young master, and my wife is in the old lady's yard, do you want to go there together?" The maid in the old lady's room next to Yin Huan hugged Mu Yilin and wiped her tears. When Mu Jingran heard that her mother was in the grandmother's yard Li, he was immediately discouraged, and his fleshy body moved back a step, "Okay, I don't want to say anything, you are the smartest."

Mu Yilin looked at him sobbingly, and Mu Jingran added reluctantly, "Okay, okay, I'm the most stupid."

Mu Yilin asked the maid to let her down, walked up to Yin Huan, tilted her head and asked softly, "Are you the little sister brought by my aunt?"

"Yes, I came here with my mother." Yin Huan looked at Mu Yilin who was carved with pink jade bracelets, the purity in her eyes was the real youth, unlike in the Gu residence.

"Little cousin, my name is Mu Yilin." Mu Yilin's tears were still hanging on her eyes, and she was happily sitting with Yin Huan talking at this moment. She was the only girl in Mu's mansion, and the rest were all boys. , I was naturally very happy when I saw someone of my own age appearing.

Mu Jingran on the side couldn't help rolling his eyes, he said that women are in trouble, and after a while, it's faster to turn your face than to turn a book.

"Miss, it's getting late, it's time to go back to the old lady's yard." Siqi reminded from the side, and before Yin Huan nodded, Mu Yilin was about to go to Mrs. Mu's place together. Mu Jingran heard, He was in a hurry to leave first, but Mu Jingxuan at the side saw that the third brother was not going, so he also followed, leaving the eldest brother of the Mu family, Mu Jingxuan, to follow them back to Mrs. Mu's yard.

After dinner together, Mrs. Mu brought Yin Huan back to the yard where she used to live. This yard has been kept since Mrs. Mu got married, and it is often cleaned. Qingya has been waiting for them in this yard for a long time. After waiting for Yin Huan to wash up, he carried her to bed.

On the second day, Yin Huan met the eldest wife of the Mu family, the uncle and the second uncle of the Mu family. After recognizing the uncle and the second uncle, the Mu family became Yin Huan's maternal ancestral home. Yin Huan wasn't happy to go to the grandparent's house. To put it mildly, one day when the Mu family left, the connection between Gu Yinhuan and the Mu family would be broken.

It's just different from the Gu family's reaction. The Mu family is supportive of the Mu family's choice. As long as the younger sister lives happily and happily, the elder brother thinks it's good regardless of who she adopts, except for Mu Da. Ma'am, the words always reveal that the Mu family's heir daughter is too thoughtless.

Especially a seven or eight-year-old girl standing behind Mrs. Mu, her eyes fell on Yin Huan from time to time, and every time she looked back with a smile, the girl seemed to glance at her face unkindly, so many times After coming down, Yin Huan felt baffled.
