An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"Ouch! What's going on? Why is there still fire?"

Originally, Huanbi was concentrating on recalling her mother, whose figure had become a little blurred in her memory, and looking at the paper money burning in the fire to express her grief.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from not far behind.

Hearing this voice, Huanbi felt inexplicably familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

But at this time, Huanbi had no time to think about it, and hurriedly put out the still burning fire, then picked up her bag and turned around to run.

"stop!"

When Cao Qinmo saw Huanbi trying to run away, he immediately lowered his tone and shouted coldly, "Do you know that burning paper money is forbidden in the palace? This is against palace rules!"

It was not until this time that Huanbi finally remembered. No wonder she felt the other person's voice was familiar before. The person who spoke was obviously Concubine Cao who had visited Bitong Academy not long ago!

"Lady Cao..."

Turning her head and slowly moving her gaze to the other person's face, Huanbi saw Cao Qinmo looking at her with a half-smile.

It’s over.

At this time, Huanbi had only this one thought in her mind.

Everything is over——

Cao Qinmo is from Concubine Hua's side. Even though she has betrayed her several times and tried to win over Zhen Huan, Cao Qinmo is still in Concubine Hua's camp.

Even a maid like Huanbi saw how much Concubine Hua hated Zhen Huan and knew it all.

Now that he had made such a mistake right under the other party's nose, this was a godsend opportunity for Cao Qinmo!

Huanbi didn't know how Cao Qinmo would use her to deal with Zhen Huan next, but there was one thing she was clear about, that was that today's hurdle would definitely be difficult.

"You guys should step back first."

Cao Qinmo did not respond to Huanbi immediately, but said this to his attendants on both sides.

After the two palace maids and the young eunuch left, Cao Qinmo slowly turned her gaze to Huanbi.

"Huanbi? If I remember correctly, you should be the Huanbi who is responsible for serving Sister Wan, right?"

Cao Qinmo came to Huanbi's side, and seemed not to notice the fear on her face. Instead, she softened her tone and said, "Don't panic. I don't intend to embarrass you. Otherwise...why would I send people away? Don't you think so?"

"Please forgive me, sir! I was confused for a moment, and that's why I made such a big mistake! Please have mercy on me, sir, and don't let this matter..."

Huanbi is now trembling with nervousness.

Because the other party had the upper hand, Huanbi no longer had her original arrogance.

If it were any other time, she might not necessarily look down upon Cao Qinmo, a mere noble who depended on Concubine Hua.

But now, the other party's gentle words were enough to determine her future fate, which made Huanbi sweat profusely without realizing it.

"Alas, although this matter is taboo in the palace, I guess there must be a reason for it. If you had no choice, you would not burn paper money here, right?"

Cao Qinmo's tone became softer, and then he reached out and gently patted Huanbi's shoulder, "Sister Wan and I hit it off right away, and you are smart and clever, and I like you very much. How could I deliberately embarrass you?"

"Then..." When Huanbi heard what Cao Qinmo said, she didn't feel relaxed at all. Instead, she became even more nervous.

Although she is ambitious, she also has some problems of being too arrogant.

But Huanbi is not a fool. On the contrary, in some aspects, Huanbi is much smarter than Liuzhu, who is also Zhen Huan's maid.

She knew that Cao Qinmo was definitely not an easy person to deal with.

Therefore, the gentler Cao Qinmo's attitude towards him now, the more violent the malice behind it may be.

Huanbi felt that there must be something fishy going on, so she naturally didn't dare to relax easily.

"I came here because I had nothing to do. When I saw the flickering fire, I thought there was a fire. I didn't expect that you were here to express your grief by the fire."

Cao Qinmo pulled Huanbi aside and said softly, "It's not difficult for me to forget what I saw today, but... you should understand that keeping your mouth shut also comes at a price, right?"

"My Lord, what do you mean——"

Huanbi instinctively took a step back, only to find that she had come to the edge of the rocky mountain scenery. As she stepped back, she leaned directly against the rock.

Unfortunately, the stones at night were not as warm as they were during the day. Instead, they felt a little cool, just like Huanbi's mood at the moment.

……

Huanbi didn't know how she got back to Bitong Academy. By the time she came to her senses, she had already agreed to Cao Qinmo's request.

When necessary, some "things" about Zhen Huan will be revealed.

This was the request that Cao Qinmo agreed to keep the secret for Huanbi, and she didn't know what she was thinking at the time, but she agreed as if possessed by a ghost.

"What should I do, mother..."

Huanbi looked at the dark night sky, and two lines of tears slid down her face.

But at this time, she could only endure the pain and mourn her mother silently in her heart.

……

"My dear, the weather is really nice today!"

An Lingrong received an invitation from Concubine Xin, but she took Fang Ruo and others to Wei Yuxuan where the other party lived to keep the appointment.

Seeing that the weather was good, Fang Ruo said this to An Lingrong with a smile.

"Yes."

An Lingrong nodded, thinking that the recent weather was indeed better than before.

If the weather was as hot as before, An Lingrong would never go even if Concubine Xin invited her.

"Oh, isn't this Lady An?"

Just when An Lingrong and the others reached a corner, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Hello, Sister Cao."

Seeing that it was Cao Qinmo, An Lingrong stopped and raised her hand towards her.

Cao Qinmo also returned the greeting, and then said, "What a coincidence! Concubine Hua and I are enjoying the flowers in the garden. Would Sister An like to join us?"

While Cao Qinmo was saying this, her eyes were signaling An Lingrong to look at a small pavilion not far away.

In the pavilion, Concubine Hua was looking at them with a smile.

Obviously, although it was Cao Qinmo who invited An Lingrong, these words were actually instructed by Concubine Hua, and Cao Qinmo was just an "executor".

An Lingrong looked in the direction Cao Qinmo pointed and immediately realized this, so she nodded as well.

"Aunt Fangruo, please tell Xin Changzai that I'm afraid I can't go to her place today."

After An Lingrong said this to Aunt Fangruo, she ignored the other party's disapproving look and walked towards where Concubine Hua was resolutely.
