An Lingrong after rebirth

After the new slaves arrived, Yuexiangju became brand new. The house was cleaned spotlessly, the floor was so clean that it seemed to reflect people's reflections, and there was not even a speck of dust. The windows were wiped clean and as bright as a mirror, and the scenery outside the window was clearly visible.

An Lingrong sat in front of the window, holding a letter in her hand, feeling a little complicated. This letter was sent by her uncles, and she couldn't wait to open the envelope and read the letter carefully.

"Lingrong, I'm writing to you. Everything is fine at home these days, don't worry about me." The words in the letter gradually put An Lingrong's worries to rest. She breathed a sigh of relief and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

However, as she continued to read, she could not help but sigh softly. The letter also mentioned some household matters, such as her father taking another concubine and her mother being wronged because of it. These things made An Lingrong feel helpless and distressed.

My uncle also mentioned in the letter that Bai, who had been driven out of the An Mansion by An Lingrong, was arranged to live in a small courtyard in the suburbs by her father An Bihuai.

That place was not far from the capital, but remote enough to avoid being discovered. An Lingrong felt a pang of sadness when she heard the news. She recalled the days when she lived with her mother when she was a child.

At that time, although they were poor, they were full of happiness and warmth. But now, everything has changed.

An Lingrong didn't know why her father treated her mother like this, nor did she know whether he still remembered the feelings between them.

An Lingrong knew that if it weren't for her efforts and persistence, her mother might have passed away long ago. Her mother's health was getting worse year by year, and her father didn't know how to cherish her!

Thinking of this, An Lingrong couldn't help but feel guilty and self-blame. She felt that she cared too little for her mother and had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a daughter.

So, she decided to go back to visit her mother before the draft and discuss with her whether she was willing to divorce her father. This was a big deal that would affect her happiness for the rest of her life. If she didn't sound the waters first, what if her mother didn't agree?

An Lingrong couldn't bear to look at her mother's haggard face again, because every time she saw it, she would feel heartbroken. So she could only look away, but she silently swore in her heart: "In this life, I must protect my mother and never let her suffer any grievances again!"

An Lingrong couldn't help but burst into tears when she thought about her mother's early death in her previous life and the miserable life she lived afterwards. At that time, she was powerless to change the status quo and could only watch everything happen. But now, she is determined to change her fate and not repeat the same mistakes.

Once, the mother also confided her inner pain to An Lingrong. She said that she really could not stand her father's neglect and betrayal any longer, and even wanted to separate from him. But An Lingrong was too young at the time and did not understand these things at all. Thinking about it now, she only feels full of guilt.

An Lingrong supported her mother's decision, but she didn't have the ability at the time. Now that she has started her own business and bought a house, her mother has a place to stay.

An Lingrong became more determined to participate in the selection. She wanted to use her beauty and talent to fight for the opportunity to enter the palace and change the fate of herself and her mother.

That would be troublesome. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but she still took a deep breath, told herself to stay calm, then gently opened the door, stood in the yard and took a deep breath.

When An Lingrong came to the yard, she saw a thin figure sitting in the yard cleaning. It was a little maid she had just bought, a child from a poor family, so capable! !

An Lingrong slowly approached the maid and asked softly, "What's your name?" The maid raised her head with a timid look in her eyes and a cowardly voice, "My name is Zhao Zhao."

An Lingrong nodded slightly and continued to ask, "How old are you?" Zhao Zhao lowered her head and replied in a low voice, "Your servant, I am ten years old!"

An Lingrong thought to herself that she had to observe Zhao Zhao carefully to see what kind of person this little girl was and whether she was worthy of being employed.

An Lingrong smiled and said to Zhao Zhao: "Zhao Zhao, you did a great job. Keep working hard in the future." Zhao Zhao's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, and he kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude: "Thank you for the compliment, Miss. Zhao Zhao will definitely not let you down."

An Lingrong looked at Zhao Zhao and thought to herself. She felt that she needed a reliable person to help her, and Zhao Zhao looked honest and might be able to be her right-hand man. An Lingrong decided to train Zhao Zhao well and make her her confidant.

In the next few days, An Lingrong asked Lian Er to teach Zhao Zhao some basic etiquette and rules. Lian Er would also carefully observe Zhao Zhao's performance to see if she had the comprehension and whether she was diligent and eager to learn.

After spending some time together, An Lingrong discovered that although Zhao Zhao was still young, he had a strong learning ability and was serious and responsible in his work.

Lian Er began to slowly delegate some important tasks to Zhao Zhao and guided her from the side. As time went by, Zhao Zhao gradually grew up and became An Lingrong's right-hand man.

The sun shines through the window into the room, illuminating An Lingrong's delicate makeup and gorgeous clothes. She sits in front of the bronze mirror, gently combing her hair, her eyes focused and gentle.

Zhao Zhao walked in with a cup of steaming hot tea and said softly, "Miss, have a cup of tea."

An Lingrong nodded slightly and smiled at herself in the mirror, "Well, put it over there."

Zhao Zhao carefully placed the teacup on the table, then stood quietly aside, his eyes fixed on An Lingrong, as if he had something to say but was hesitant.

An Lingrong noticed Zhao Zhao's strangeness, turned around, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter? Zhao Zhao, is there anything wrong?"

Zhao Zhao bit her lip and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Miss, I have something to ask of you."

An Lingrong looked at her with interest, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes, "Oh? What's the matter?"

Zhao Zhao knelt down with a plop, her eyes full of pleading, "Miss, I want to ask for mercy, hoping to allow my family members to work in the mansion."

An Lingrong raised her eyebrows, and smiled gently, "You are a filial child. Stand up and talk."

Zhao Zhao stood up with tears in her eyes, bowed her head and replied respectfully: "Thank you, Miss. My parents are from a poor family, and I want them to have a stable life."

An Lingrong pondered for a moment, then said gently: "It's not difficult. I will talk to Lingyun later and arrange this matter."

Zhao Zhao was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, Miss! You are such a kind person!"

An Lingrong smiled and waved her hand, signaling Zhao Zhao to leave and continue enjoying the good times.

Zhao Zhao was overjoyed when she heard this. "Thank you so much, young lady! I will do my best to serve you!"

An Lingrong smiled and said, "Well, as long as you are loyal, I will not treat you unfairly."

Zhao Zhao nodded repeatedly and said in a firm tone: "Yes, Miss! I will swear to be loyal to you until death!" Her eyes were full of determination and loyalty, as if she was lucky to have a master like An Lingrong, and she was determined to repay this trust with loyalty and hard work.

An Lingrong nodded slightly, indicating that she was satisfied with Zhao Zhao's answer. She then asked, "What do your family members know?" This question was intended to understand Zhao Zhao's family background and skills in order to better arrange their work.

Zhao Zhao thought for a moment, then said proudly: "My dear, my father can drive a carriage. He is very skilled and can safely drive all kinds of vehicles. My mother is good at cooking and can make delicious meals."

An Lingrong was secretly happy when she heard this. She had originally planned to buy a carriage, because this would make her travel more convenient. And Zhao Zhao's father was good at driving a carriage, which was undoubtedly a pillow for her when she was sleepy.

"Great! Let your father try out his driving skills tomorrow." An Lingrong said with a smile.

Zhao Zhao was so excited that he knelt down to express his gratitude, and then left the room happily.

The next day, Zhao Zhao's father successfully passed the test drive. An Lingrong was very satisfied with his driving skills and decided to appoint him as her driver on the spot.

As for Zhaozhao's mother, she was arranged to help in the kitchen because of her outstanding cooking skills. This time, everyone in the mansion immediately praised her. It turned out that Zhaozhao's mother was a good cook, and she was gentle, kind and helpful.

Zhao Zhao and his family settled down in Yue Xiang Ju, and lived a simple and happy life. As for An Lingrong, she not only gained two loyal servants, but also gained warmth and support.

An Lingrong had always had one thing in mind - going home to visit her mother and solve the problems at home. Now that she had a carriage, she felt it was time to act.

She also wanted to take this opportunity to examine Zhao Zhao's father's ability. If he was really capable, he might be able to help her. So An Lingrong decided to take Zhao Zhao and his daughter with her to get to know them better.

An Lingrong and her group set out on the journey home. Along the way, Zhao Zhao's father's driving skills were indeed superb, and the carriage was stable and comfortable, which made An Lingrong quite satisfied.

Zhao Zhao is careful and considerate, taking good care of An Lingrong's daily life!

Soon after, they arrived at the An Mansion. An Lingrong saw her mother, and the mother and daughter hugged and cried. An Lingrong asked her mother if she was willing to divorce her father?

The mother expressed her willingness and asked: "Will your father agree? Will it affect your entry into the palace selection?" An Lingrong said: "Mom, you don't have to worry about these things! I can solve them! Just agree to it!"

An Lingrong told her mother about her recent situation and expressed her concern for her mother.

In the conversation with her mother, An Lingrong learned more about the family's internal affairs. She decided to stay at home temporarily and face the difficulties with her mother.

In the following days, An Lingrong showed her wisdom and decisiveness. She and Zhao Zhao assisted her mother in handling housework, while also secretly observing the situation in the mansion.

During this process, Zhao Zhao's father also gave them a lot of help and advice. He used his experience and connections to provide An Lingrong with a lot of useful advice.

After some efforts, An Lingrong successfully resolved the conflicts within the family and put family life back on track.

This experience made An Lingrong more mature and stronger. She deeply understood the preciousness of family affection and realized that only by becoming strong can she protect her family.

An Lingrong returned to Yuexiangju with her mother and Zhaozhao's family to continue her life. In the days to come, she will work harder to pursue her dreams and protect the people she loves.
