Chapter 52: Aunt Cousin's Thoughts

When Mu Xinping saw Bai Hibiscus, she hurriedly changed her smile and said softly: "Yan'er went to get something for me!"

"Aunt Cousin is still used to living in the house these days? Speaking of which, the family is not very peaceful these days, and my mother is sick again, so don't be surprised!" Bai Muhibiscus comforted with a smile.

Mu Xinping shook her head, her smile was a little bitter, and said: "Where is it, how can I ask for a lot when an orphan girl comes to join her relatives, and it is a blessing to be sheltered by the Guogong Mansion!"

When Bai Muhibiscus heard this, she knew that Mu Xinping must have suffered some grievances, which was also natural, after all, the Lu family knew that Mu Xinping was here to rob her husband, and she would definitely not give her a good life.

She patted Mu Xinping's hand and said softly: "Aunt Cousin said this to see the outside, you are your grandmother's niece, and when the family suffers an accident, it is also a love between relatives to think of us." You are also the master of this mansion, if anyone dares to despise you, just take out the master's posture and teach them a lesson, Jin'er knows that there are always some people in this mansion who praise the high and step on the low, hey...... To be honest, even my eldest lady occasionally has times when things don't go well, so bear with me!"

Saying that, her expression was also a little bitter, which made Mu Xinping suddenly feel sorry for each other, thinking that the house is now the head of the Lu family, and the eldest lady is not where the Lu family is, so she can also see a little bit of what kind of character the Lu family is, which can be seen in the Xiangguo Temple that day.

She shook Bai Muhibiscus's hand and said softly: "Jin'er, you are also bitter, if you want to say that you are the eldest daughter of Ning Guogong, she also treats you like that, it will naturally not be good to me, an outsider, but it's a pity that my aunt is old and doesn't care much, otherwise I won't let you suffer from her!"

Bai Muhibiscus smiled, thinking that Mu Xinping was really not a good stubble, and she had already started to provoke at this time, but she was afraid that she was a soft persimmon, and that was definitely not Lu's opponent, this kind of person who was weak and beautiful on the surface, but who was not lacking in scheming, was the most suitable opponent for Lu.

Bai Mu Hibiscus pretended to look at her sadly, and then said: "Hey, I can only blame my miserable life, if my cousin can be my mother, how good it would be!"

Mu Xinping smiled gently, and said shyly and timidly: "Jin'er said that I laughed, how can I have the blessing to be your mother, I am just an orphan girl in the middle of the family!"

Bai Mu Hibiscus pouted, pretending to be innocent and said: "How can my cousin be arrogant, you are also a scholarly family, although the family suffered a disaster, but grandmother is dedicated to you, or she will not be too old to bring you here, it can be seen that grandmother really loves you!"

Mu Xinping's face was also a little happy when she said this, and the original gloom disappeared, and she sighed: "Aunt and Jin'er treat me sincerely, but it's a pity that I'm just an outsider, and I'm going to leave after all, hey......"

"Where, grandmother said, you will live here from now on, why do you want to go? Don't say such things, otherwise grandmother will not be able to stay in the mansion because I am not sensible!" Bai Mu Hibiscus pretended not to understand.

Mu Xinping smiled, lowered her head slightly, and said as if she was very embarrassed: "After all, I am my daughter's family, and I can't stay in Ningguo Mansion for the rest of my life!"

Bai Mu Hibiscus suddenly made a look of enlightenment and said, "Oh, that's the case, hey...... That's right, grandmother will definitely plan for you, it's a pity, Jin'er really wants her cousin to accompany me more, you look at my sister and hate me in her heart, I wish I was dead, Jin'er is really sad, although you are my elder, but you are about the same age, and I am very close to each other!"

"I also feel very close to Jin'er, and I can't bear you, and my aunt!" Mu Xinping said a little melancholy, and her face was a little sad for a while.

Bai Mu Hibiscus took her hand and said, "Aunt Cousin, don't talk about these unhappy things, you can go to Jinlan Garden with me, let's sit down and talk for a while!"

Mu Xinping nodded, happily went with her, the two talked and laughed all the way, very harmonious, in the Jinlan Garden, the two talked about poetry for a while, and asked for embroidery for a while, but they were like-minded and talked very happily.

Before leaving, Bai Mujin specially asked the mandarin duck to take a box of rouge gouache and a box of bead hairpins, both of which were high-quality good things, and Mu Xinping couldn't help but be moved.

Bai Mujin said with a smile: "Aunt Cousin, we were originally friendly and gave you these mundane things, for fear that you would say that I look down on you." It's just that Jin'er really likes her cousin, and whether she is in the house or in Beijing, she doesn't have these objects as a façade when she goes out, and she is afraid that it will embarrass you. You'll just take it, okay?"

Bai Muhibiscus said very sincerely, with some shyness, as if he was afraid that Mu Xinping would not accept it, and looked at her earnestly.

Although Mu Xinping was moved, she couldn't be so reckless, so she excused herself: "How can I accept such a valuable thing, isn't this tormenting me?

"Sure enough, my cousin doesn't like my heart, hey...... It really makes Jin'er sad, we are all a family, what else do we have with each other, I have it, take it to my cousin's aunt, what's the point!" Bai Muhibiscus pretended to be sad, as if Mu Xinping rejected her, it really hurt her heart.

Seeing this, Mu Xinping glanced at the jewels in the box again, and her heart warmed up, only saying that this Ning Guogong is really a rich family, and the things that the eldest lady gave away casually were all things that she couldn't see in that small place. It's a pity that she's just a passerby, no matter how glorious and rich she is, it has nothing to do with her!

Without waiting for Mu Xinping to speak, Bai Mu Hibiscus stuffed the box into the hand of her girl Yan'er, and said: "Aunt cousin, you just accept it, don't see Jin'er, speaking of these things, your mother should have prepared a copy for you, after all, you are your grandmother's guest, and you have come all the way to join us, how can you be wronged?

When Mu Xinping heard her say this, she also secretly blamed the Lu family for being too stingy, deliberately looking at her shabby and unprepared, or Bai Hibiscus had a heart, so she had a lot of good feelings for Bai Hibiscus in her heart, and looked at her with a touched face and said: "Since this is the case, I will be cheeky and accept it and let you bother!"

Bai Mujin smiled happily and shook her hand to show closeness: "That's right, we are so good, where do you need to be polite, grandmother looks at you dressed brightly, and her face is also bright!"

Mu Xinping nodded, thinking that Bai Mujian was really a delicate person, not only knew how to take care of her mood, but also flattered her aunt by the way, no wonder her aunt was so attentive to her.

After parting, the two made an appointment to meet in Tangli Garden on the second day, and happily dispersed. Bai Mu Hibiscus saw Mu Xinping leave Jinlan Garden with brisk steps, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The magpie saw the person walking away, and said suspiciously: "Miss, those rouge gouache and pearl hairpins are all you just get, and you haven't used them yet, so you don't feel sorry for her!"

Bai Mujin looked at her as distressed as she looked, clicked on the magpie's head, and said, "You girl, when did your eyelids become so shallow?

Mama Rui nodded and said, "Indeed, the master of these things will have as many as he wants in the future!"

When the magpie saw that they all said this, she stopped talking, but she still couldn't figure out why the eldest lady was so kind to that Miss Mu, was it just to please the old lady? In her opinion, that Miss Mu was not a very good person, although on the surface she seemed to be weak and weak.

"You girl, you have been with Miss for so long, and your brain is still so rigid, you just listen to Miss, can Miss be more stupid than you?"

The magpie thought that it was also this ceremony, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said, "I'm sorry Miss, it's the slave who thinks badly, hehe......"

Bai Mujin shook her head, she didn't mean to blame, she also knew that the mandarin duck and the magpie wanted to protect her, for fear that she would suffer a little loss.

While he was talking, Bai Muchen came over from outside, and as soon as they met, he worriedly checked Bai Mujian's situation, and asked anxiously, "Sister, are you okay?"

"What can I do?" asked Shiraki with a smile.

Bai Muchen breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his chest, and said, "Fortunately, my sister is fine, I heard that you have a situation in Xiangguo Temple, and they actually want to harm you!"

Bai Mu Hibiscus frowned and asked unhappily: "Who told you about this? Which ignorant slave chews his tongue, you don't have to listen to those villains' nonsense!"

Bai Muchen looked at his sister puzzled, and then looked at the maid Xiaolu behind him, and said as if he had an understanding: "Oh, it's Chen'er who is too careful, I think we are all a family, how can we harm my sister!"

Bai Mujin nodded happily, touched Bai Muchen's head, and said, "Chen'er is really smart, by the way, my sister brought you a good thing from Xiangguo Temple, let's go in and have a look, okay?"

Bai Muchen glanced at Bai Mujian, and knew that she had something to say to herself, so she said happily: "Okay, I heard that my sister met Zen Master Mingyuan, you have to tell me how the Zen master gave you a good idea!"

Bai Mujin smiled, didn't answer him, but said to Xiao Lu and Mama Ying, who came with Bai Muchen: "You guys go down and have some refreshments, I have a new cook here, and the snacks are delicious!"

Mama Ying was interested, and thanked her with a smile, Xiao Lu glanced at Bai Muchen a little reluctantly, as if she wanted him to take her into the back room, so she said obediently: "The slave and maid are not hungry, and there is no one to serve the eldest young master, I'm afraid it's not good! Besides, the slave and maid also want to hear interesting stories about Xiangguo Temple?"

Without waiting for Bai Mujin to speak, the mandarin duck glanced at her and sneered: "What kind of thing are you? You also deserve to let the eldest lady tell you interesting things, there are me and magpies in the house, can you still be wronged by the eldest young master, there is no eyesight!"

Xiao Lu was scolded by her, her face suddenly turned pale, her lips were shriveled, and she looked at Bai Muchen with a look of great grievance: "Big young master, the slave and maid also care about you, but you are scolded like this, no matter how lowly the slave and maid are, they are also the slaves of the eldest young master, and if you are a slave and maid like this, I don't know if Sister Mandarin Duck has taken you in her eyes!"

Bai Mujin looked at Xiao Lu coldly, and ignored her attitude of taking the initiative to seek death, and sneered: "It's my order to let you go down for refreshments, when will it be your turn to put your beak in the master's words? Dare to sow discord in front of me and Brother Chen, do you think your life is too comfortable?"
