After a light snow on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, the sky has never cleared, and the rain has stopped flying for a while, and this day finally has a little sunshine sprinkled on the green tiles.

She sat quietly in the rose chair in front of a picture screen dyed with plum blossoms dyed with snow, and at this time her eyes were looking at the green glazed bottle mouth of the slender waist beauty on the side of the painting screen, stretching out the strong branches, and the green calyx plum blossoms were blooming just right.

There are already maids who present fragrant tea, and the soup is golden red.

An Jin's eyes drooped slightly, and her slender black eyelashes covered the emotions flowing under her eyes.

Holding a delicate hand stove in his hand, the copper stove is also coincidentally painted with cold plums welcoming spring, but the picture has been touched by the palm of the hand to be a little blurry and light.

This hand stove was given by my biological mother many years ago.

An Jin seemed to remember her mother's soft and loving smile when she handed her the warm copper stove to her, even if it was cold, she looked at her mother, and there was always warmth in her heart.

When she first entered the palace, she relied on recalling her mother's warmth and love over and over again, and persevered in the time when she was ridiculed and embarrassed.

The mother in my memory has always been soft-spoken, so soft and beautiful.

She really misses the time before she was ten years old, with the love of her parents, even if most of the time she just relied on her mother and lived a lonely life.

Knowing that her mother went to Longxi, and heard that the place was a bitter cold place, she once had her liver and intestines burning, and cried and begged her father many times, she would rather give up this golden and noble daughter of the clan, and only wanted to be reunited with her mother's flesh and blood.

Perhaps it was her begging that touched the heavens, and her mother finally returned to Jinyang, even though she could no longer live together day and night, she was also happy.

Now that I think about it, it seems that after the reunion, every time I spend not much time with my mother, the most talked about is the life in the palace.

How brutal Xiao Xie is, An Hui is so domineering, the second brother's indifference, and the third brother's evil.

She didn't want to mention these words, but every time she poured out her grievances under the guidance of seeming nothing.

In fact, she prefers to talk about the gentleman invited by the Guogong Mansion, how knowledgeable and well-informed, and she is more willing to talk about the happy time when she spends time with the little ladies of the Su family, and she is willing to say that the eldest brother is gentle and amiable, and he will never speak coldly to her.

She couldn't remember how her mother looked when she said this.

She couldn't even remember her mother's kindness.

At this time, there was only the cold smile of his mother in his mind, which was deep and strange.

"An Jin, take this hairpin......" When the mother said this, she did not rush to hand her the hairpin, but unscrewed the delicately carved lotus, she just felt that the hairpin seemed to be thicker, and she saw that the hairpin body was hollow.

"It's poisonous...... You have to find a chance to put it in the tea of the princess! ”

"I know you will definitely find the opportunity, you said that the princess treated you very kindly...... Good boy, don't worry, why doesn't your mother think about the future for you? The reason why the medicine is in the golden hairpin is because it is planted after a good thing. ”

She didn't reach it, as if she couldn't wear such a golden hairpin.

"Although the maid next to you was selected by the second master, Xie Shi is in charge of the middle feed, didn't you also tell me that one of them has been enveloped by Xie and has become her eyes and ears...... Wait for that day, you take her to Guan Sui Yuan, find an excuse to get rid of the maids first, and take advantage of the princess's unpreparedness to be poisoned...... Let your maid come in again, and let her see the poisonous hair of the princess with her own eyes...... At that time, there must be a riot, you just throw the hairpin at the foot of the desk, and then tell people that you saw the hairpin slip out of the girl's sleeve...... There is no one else at the scene, you are the master, and no one dares to doubt your words...... This golden hairpin can't be owned by the slave maid herself, there must be a master for her...... Good boy, my mother knows that you have always been clever, and she will be able to guide the maid to confess to the Xie family......"

She was stunned for a while, stared at by her mother's cold gaze.

It's to make her kill and plant stolen goods!

"The second master has always loved you, in fact, the second master has long been disgusted with the Xie family, and he will definitely believe your words."

Is that so?

"Good boy, you must do this, only by letting the Xie family bear this charge, can your mother get along with you day and night, and Zhi'er can recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors...... Do you really want to be separated from your mother? Seeing that your own brother can't raise his head in front of people all his life, he is not recognized by the family, he is the bloodline of the clan......"

An Jin remembered that she seemed to be panicked at the time, avoiding the hairpin that had been handed over by her mother after it had been restored to its original state, and repeated over and over again the kindness of her eldest sister-in-law and the gentleness and kindness of her eldest brother.

"Don't be stupid An Jin, the second master and the son are your life and death, you and the prince and his wife are destined to be only opponents and enemies, didn't you also talk about the incident that happened not long ago, why do you think your second sister-in-law wanted to frame the princess? An Jin, you are really a stupid child, don't you notice that the prince and his wife are not really friendly to you, they just want to use you to instigate you to discord and dispute with the Xie family, so that they can benefit from it...... Who in this world will be good to you for no reason? ”

Is that so?

An Jin remembered the time when she studied with Yijing in the Weiguo Mansion.

I even remembered the first time I met, Su Erniang and Sanniang were bitter and mean, Liuniang was not easy to get close to, and Baniang was too weak, only the fifth sister pulled her to sit beside her, although it could not be called intimate, but she never looked at it once with the critical and sarcastic eyes of others.

At that time, she thought, this is the real lady of everyone, noble daughter, tolerant and friendly.

She didn't know much at that time, and she could only play the piano in the four arts, and it was the fifth sister who took the time to teach her calligraphy, painting and games.

Later, when the fifth sister married the eldest brother, she was very happy, thinking that from then on there would be another relative in the palace.

became closer and closer, and often complained about his mother's brutal treatment in front of his sister-in-law, what did his sister-in-law say at that time?

"Ah Jin, I know that I am wronged, but the second aunt is always your mother-in-law, if you have it, it doesn't hurt for you to talk to me, but you must not show the slightest disrespect in front of the second aunt...... Although the second uncle cherishes you, in the noble house, the important thing is the word etiquette...... If you don't respect your mother-in-law, if this word spreads, the world will only talk about your unfilial piety...... It's always you who suffers...... It's just these three or two years, and it's been a long time...... You are the daughter of the clan, and you have your grandmother and second uncle as the masters, you will be able to get a good home in the future, and you will no longer be treated harshly and difficult at that time, but if you ruin the reputation of your daughter's family because you provoke your second aunt, you are only afraid of difficulties in marriage, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

An Jin understood that the words of the eldest sister-in-law were all for her consideration, and He had used her.

Mr. Li has taught them for many years, telling them that if they know how to read, they must be reasonable, and that in the world, both men and women must remember the word integrity, and they must not be vicious.

She likes the eldest mother, fourth mother, sixth mother, and seventh mother of the Guogong Mansion, and she is even closer to the beautiful scenery of the eldest sister-in-law.

Not because they are descendants, but because they are well-informed and kind, she wants to be that kind of person, respected and envied, not because of fine clothes and noble birth.

But her biological mother asked her to kill and blame.

If you do such a thing, you will never be able to hold your head high in the future.

Will my father really deal with my mother for her words?

She is no longer an ignorant girl who has just entered Fugui Township and doesn't know anything.

Such a conspiracy full of loopholes will never let her get out of the way.

The eldest sister-in-law is the princess, the concubine of the Duke of Weiguo, and the county lord of the Holy Family, if she is poisoned to death, how can she let her daughter of a servant speak skillfully.

Did her mother really believe that she would be safe?

Or even if he knew the result, he still forced her to risk her life.

These days, as long as An Jin thinks of this possibility, her heart is like a knife.

That is the biological mother who gave her life and flesh and blood, and depended on her for ten years...... Is the word rich and noble really more important than blood kinship?

At this time, she remembered her mother's last warning: "An Jin, if you don't do it at this time, the Xie family will force you to do it in the future, because only you have the opportunity to get close to the prince and his wife...... Can't you see that the second master and the prince have become inseparable? If you reject the Xie family at that time, will she still allow you to settle down in the palace? Your future wealth and happiness can be in the hands of the Xie family! ”

"An Jin, the second master, me and Zhi'er are your blood relatives, only we are really good to you, shouldn't you do what you can for us? Without the second master, how will you survive in the future...... But don't be stupid! ”

An Jin had to admit her mother's words, and she could also see the ups and downs under the calm surface of the palace, and she thought of her father's love over the years...... If that day comes, the family is ruined, where will she live?

With her understanding of Xiao Xie's family, maybe one day she will understand it, and she will really instigate it in front of her father.

If her father forced her to act......

That was her biological father, and she couldn't ignore the safety of her biological father and mother.

The palm on the stove was so hot that An Jin's fingertips couldn't help but tremble.

At this time, she heard a slight footstep, turned her face, and saw that the eldest sister-in-law had already gone up the stone steps, lightly lifted her skirt and stepped over the shallow threshold, looking at her and smiling.

Yijing saw An Jin's pale face at a glance, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Of course, she understood why An Jin was sick after being "tested in the four arts" by Yu Dong on the second day of the Shangyuan Festival.

While smiling, he said, "Third sister, this is great?" While holding An Jin, who stood up to greet her, and was about to salute, her sister-in-law sat next to each other.

Yijing saw that An Jin's eyes were calm and smiling, which was no different from usual.

I couldn't help but bow slightly.

An Jin is indeed more stable and witty than An Ran, she is not old enough, and she can still be quiet when she hears Yu's scary words, just this, it can be seen that the city government.

Compared with An Ran, An Jin's situation in the palace is more difficult, especially after understanding those hidden secrets.

Spring Dusk presented hot tea, Yijing took it in his hand, and only took a sip and put it on the desk.

The two open jade cups were very close to each other.

An Jin raised her dark eyes slightly: "I came here today because I wanted to talk to my sister-in-law alone." He first motioned to the maidservant beside him to retreat.

Yijing's heart was slightly heavy, and he naturally glanced at Chun Du quietly.

The afternoon sun sprinkled under the steps, the wet bluestone road flashed a touch of mild light gold, and a few green calyx plum agarwood in the flower hall made the atmosphere soft.

There is no existential urgency.

Yijing didn't speak, she waited, not knowing whether An Jin would choose to speak frankly, or deliberately divert her attention and leave the highly poisonous thing in the tea.

But I listened to An Jin's words: "I have been sick for many days, but I feel relaxed today, and I would like to thank my sister-in-law for asking my second sister to visit every day." ”

The corners of Yijing's lips curled slightly-An Jin was sick this time, and she didn't go to visit because she knew the cause of An Jin's illness and wanted to leave An Jin plenty of time to weigh her choices, and she didn't want to force pressure, so naturally she didn't ask An Ran to visit.

An Jin's dark eyes stared at Yijing motionlessly.

She's tempting!

The girl is struggling in this rich township, always cautious, her mind is sensitive and meticulous, and her eldest sister-in-law has always treated her kindly, but this time she ignored her "hugging", An Jin has vaguely guessed something.

Although he made up his mind to make this trip today, An Jin was always a little apprehensive.

Even my mother knew that the dark tide in the palace was turbulent, and she was as smart as an eldest sister-in-law, and if she was wise as an eldest brother, she would definitely not be unaware.

An Jin thought about these things carefully, and became more and more sure that her brother and sister-in-law had seen the fire.

In fact, from the beginning, she had no choice.

How she longed to live without fear in the sun, not for riches, but for peace and joy.

There is no embarrassment and ridicule, and a husband and wife can respect each other, and their children and grandchildren will share the family around their knees in the future.

That's it.

But fate refused to do so.

An Jin held her palm slightly, feeling the sweat between her fingers.

She finally saw Yijing's smile stretch out, and she said first: "The third sister is serious, she should have visited in person, but she is ......busy with trivial matters."

This is "admitting" that Enron was entrusted by himself.

An Jin knew it wasn't.

But he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he nudged the brocade box that had been on the case for a while to Yijing's hand: "Annoying sister-in-law is worried, a little courtesy, just to show your heart." But he stood up and bowed solemnly: "Sister-in-law has a lot of things, so I don't dare to disturb more." ”

Just say goodbye.

Yijing got up, but he didn't send him off, and watched An Jin leave with a smile, and the girl's pace on the clogs was a little slow, but it didn't stop.

It wasn't until An Jin turned the fork in the road that Yijing opened the brocade box on the case.

On the vermilion soft brocade, a golden hairpin is very dazzling.
