After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

Helan Xuenuo looked at Mu Kong and asked, "Mu Kong, what do you think?"

Mu Kong nodded silently.

Helan Xuenuo instantly felt that Mu Kong was as stiff as a piece of wood, which reminded her of someone. If these two were put in a crowd, they would really look like a pair of brothers.

The three of them rode horses, Mu Kong on one, Xiao Zhu and Helan Xuenuo on one, and the two horses headed towards the bamboo house.

Helan Xuenuo asked casually, "Mu Kong, do you have a long-lost brother?"

Mu Kong shook his head.

Helan Xuenuo, don't look back.

Thinking about it carefully, she had a vague impression of Mu Kong. In her previous life, she didn't even know there was such a person. It was only when Mu Kong sneaked into the palace and wanted to take her away that day that she knew him, but that was the last time they saw each other.

At that time, Gu Shicheng also said that Mu Kong was her adulterer.

She was unable to defend herself and could only follow Gu Shicheng's meaning, "Yes, he is my adulterer, so you can let us go?"

Gu Shicheng never thought of letting her go. He kept calling her a slut in front of everyone in the palace. It was like being stripped naked in front of everyone. She had long lost her self-esteem.

She smiled coldly.

Suddenly she felt very sorry for Mu Kong. If Mu Kong had not come to save her and had chosen to escape by herself, would she not have died so tragically?

She looked at Mu Kong again. Mu Kong noticed her expression and lowered his eyes slightly. She asked curiously, "Mu Kong, when did you enter the Helan Mansion?"

Mu Kong's pupils trembled, and he finally spoke, "Girl, do you really not remember?"

Helan Xuenuo pondered, should she remember? She searched her mind, but couldn't find any trace. She slowly shook her head.

Xiao Zhu poked Helan Xuenuo from behind. She felt itchy and turned to look at Xiao Zhu. Xiao Zhu complained, "Girl, you have such a bad memory."

Helan Xuenuo asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Zhu poked her again, this time with a little more force, "Think about it again."

"I really don't remember."

Xiao Zhu looked disappointed and shook her head, saying, "That's Mu Kong you picked up when you were eight years old! I was with you back then, and I was young too, but my memory wasn't that bad. I remember the old general asked you where you picked up this beggar, and you were unconvinced and said he wasn't a beggar, but a younger brother who was starving to death, and asked the old general to save him. It's not your fault, because the old general had Mu Kong taken care of, and then he was sent to the military camp to train his body, so you never saw him again. But I, the girl, could recognize Mu Kong at a glance, but you couldn't! Mu Kong's eyes are exactly the same as when he was a child."

Helan Xuenuo tried to search through her past memories. She did do such a thing when she was eight years old, but the memory was too vague.

That year, the servants of the mansion took her and Xiaozhu out of the mansion to play. Not far from the Helan Mansion, they saw a child lying on the ground. His body was torn and his face was black. He was curled up on the ground.

The servant in the mansion pulled her past quickly. She turned around curiously and saw the child on the ground stretched out a hand and said weakly, "Save me." It was the pair of longing eyes that made her feel pity. She shook off the servant's hand and walked back. In the end, the servant couldn't persuade her and helped carry the child back to the mansion.

This child is Mu Kong.

General Helan readily took Mu Kong in. After Mu Kong was taken away by the servants in the mansion to be taken care of, she never saw Mu Kong again, so she had no impression of him at all.

There was no way to compare the handsome Mu Kong now with the dark-skinned child on the ground.

Mu Kong had been riding his horse behind them. She turned around to look at Mu Kong and asked for confirmation, "Is it you?"

There was a slight ripple on Mu Kong's lips, but his eyes were a little lost, and he nodded.

Helan Xuenuo felt a little embarrassed and explained with a smile, "It's no wonder I didn't recognize you. You look like this now, and even if I tried my best, I couldn't associate you with your original appearance."

Xiao Zhu agreed, "So, girl, I'm saying this man has changed a lot since he was a kid. If it weren't for Mu Kong's eyes, I wouldn't have recognized him. Just like Master Yuan, he was so timid and cowardly when he was little, but now he's so tall and looks so respectable. I wonder how many women have fallen for him."

These words reminded Helan Xu Nuo of Yuan Xu. Yuan Xu had indeed changed the most. Thinking of Yuan Xu's broad arms and strong wrists, he was a far cry from the little brat he bullied all day when he was a child. Yuan Xu had changed so much! Thinking of this, she didn't even notice when she arrived at the bamboo house. Xiao Zhu tugged at the corner of her clothes, "Girl, what are you thinking about? We're here!"

Her thoughts were in a mess for a moment, she took a deep breath, and dismounted.

Before she even got close to the bamboo house, she frowned. She heard laughter coming from inside, and the hearty laughter was coming from an old acquaintance.

Xiao Zhu shouted, "Manager Wen."

In just a moment, the laughter in the room stopped, and Wen Jing and Huang Jiuyuan had already arrived in front of them.

Wen Jing smiled politely, his eyes filled with surprise, "Xiaozhu, Miss Helan, are you here?"

Helan Xuenuo was about to reply when Huang Jiuyuan came up and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since we last met, Xuenuo, I miss you so much."

Helan Xuenuo and Xiaozhu both gave him a look of disgust.

At this time, there was someone behind Huang Jiuyuan, pulling at the corner of his clothes.

Huang Jiuyuan pulled him out.

A strange child appeared in front of them, only half a head shorter than Huang Jiuyuan.

Helan Xuenuo's face was filled with fear, and she asked in disbelief, "Huang Jiuyuan, this can't be your son, right?"

Huang Jiuyuan, ".......", gestured with his hands to measure his height, "Have you ever seen a son who is five years younger than his father?"

Xiao Zhu burst out laughing, and Wen Jing on the opposite side also laughed.

Mu Kong curled his lips slightly, and in a moment he became much more serious.

Xiao Zhu stopped laughing and asked, "Who is that?"

"This is my third brother, born to my second aunt, Yuan. She's been busy with the household recently, and my grandmother saw that there was no one to take care of the child, so she asked me to bring him out to relax."

Huang Jiuyuan's third brother lowered his head, playing with a walnut-like thing in his hand. Even though they made such a big noise, he still lowered his head and concentrated on playing with it.

Huang Jiuyuan patted his head and sighed, "Don't blame him for being rude. I heard that this child was not born properly. He is a little bit mentally deficient and doesn't like to interact with people. He can play with this walnut in his hand all day long." He turned his eyes behind Helan Xuenuo and the others, staring at Mu Kong behind them warily, "Who is this?"

Mu Kong's eyes also showed a bit of vigilance, "My name is Mu Kong."

Xiao Zhu hurriedly added some introductions, his expression filled with pride. "This is General Mu Kong from our Helan Prefecture. He's a skilled martial artist and good-looking. He can do what others can do, and he can also do what others can't do."

Huang Jiuyuan frowned and looked at Wen Jing behind him. Wen Jing didn't notice, and with a look of disappointment on his face, he watched Xiao Zhu introduce him and bowed politely, "Hello, Brother Mu." He waved his hand and pointed inside the house, "Everyone, come in. Don't just stand here. It's time for dinner. I'll make you some delicious side dishes."

Mu Kong nodded coldly.
