After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

The more Helan Xuenuo looked at Xiaozhu, the more she felt that she was living up to her expectations. After returning to the South Courtyard, she folded her hands and asked seriously, "Even after this, do you still like her?"

Xiao Zhu nodded helplessly.

Helan Xuenuo didn't know what to do with Xiaozhu. Xiaozhu and she had very similar temperaments, often stubborn and refusing to turn back until they hit a wall.

"Do you know that there are some feelings that you can't cultivate no matter how hard you try?"

Xiao Zhu sat on the bench under the mulberry tree like a deflated ball.

Holding her chin in her hand, she thought about what Helan Xuenuo said. Before long, her eyes lit up and she mustered up the courage to say, "Miss, how can you know if you don't try? I'm so cute and kind, Mu Kong will definitely like me."

Helan Xuenuo smiled and poked her forehead, "You, are quite confident in yourself."

She originally wanted to adopt Xiaozhu as her sister in the future. At worst, she could marry her to a seventh-rank county magistrate. After all, Xiaozhu had the support of the Helan Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Xiaozhu fell in love with this piece of wood.

Maybe she was overthinking it, Mu Kong was not Gu Shicheng.

In this life, she wants to see Xiaozhu marry the person she loves and get her wish.

"Give it a try, but you have to accept that he may never love you."

"My little Zhu is a good girl who stands tall and proud. If you don't love her, then don't love her. There are so many men in this world, there must be someone who can recognize her."

Helan Xuenuo saw her shadow in Xiaozhu. She was the same in her previous life. She swore in front of Qi Didi that she must marry Gu Shicheng and make Gu Shicheng fall in love with her.

But Gu Shicheng never loved her from beginning to end.

"Then do your best! I'm looking forward to your wedding." Helan Xuenuo raised her eyebrows sideways, and her eyebrows flew upwards.

"My dear girl, you haven't even started dating yet." Xiao Zhu lowered her head with a red face, and the redness on her face gradually spread to her ears.

The area behind Xiaozhu's ears was red and slightly bruised, probably because he had just fallen. Helan Xuenuo reached out and touched it, and Xiaozhu cried out in pain.

"Sit still, I'll get you some medicine."

"Miss..." Xiao Zhu was about to go get the medicine herself, but Helan Xuenuo had already walked into the house before her.

Helan Xuenuo brought a large yellow pear wood medicine box, took out a medicine box from it, and started applying the medicine to Xiaozhu.

She rolled up Xiaozhu's sleeves, revealing her fair and tender arms. There were some bruises on her arms, and she slowly applied the ointment.

Xiao Zhu enjoyed the cool ointment and the soft touch of her fingertips. She felt comfortable and suddenly felt that the bruises were not so painful anymore.

After Helan Xuenuo finished wiping her, she opened the drawer and threw a bottle of soothing cream in front of Xiaozhu.

"Girl, I don't need it..." Xiao Zhu looked at the soothing cream in confusion, then looked at Helan Xuenuo.

"Not for you."

"Who is that for?"

"Today I saw that Mu Kong's face was peeling and wrinkled. It must be the battle at Nanguan. The wind and sand combined with the sun damaged his skin. You also know that men don't take care of their skin like us women do. I told him to bring him some soothing cream."

Xiao Zhu picked up the soothing ointment and turned it in his palm. His thoughts were already drifting thousands of miles away, and he was laughing foolishly.

Helan Xuenuo patted her head and Xiaozhu came back to her senses.

"You'll give it to him directly tomorrow?"

"What else?" Xiao Zhu was young and looked very naive. Whatever he was thinking about showed on his face.

"You apply it on him yourself and tell him that I told you to do it because I was worried that he wouldn't use the medicine properly. This man has been through a lot of battles and has never been exposed to the delicate skin of a girl. If you do this a few times, then..." Helan Xuenuo thought to herself and laughed.

Xiao Zhu also laughed when he thought about it.

The medicine box in Xiaozhu's hand fell onto the table with a clang. She quickly picked it up, checked it to make sure it was fine, and put it into her sleeve like a treasure.

Helan Xuenuo looked at Xiaozhu's actions and suddenly found it funny. In her previous life, she tried her best to please Master Gu Chengdu but got nothing in return. Now, she was teaching Xiaozhu.

It’s really like the eldest brother teaches the second brother, and in the end they are all brothers.

The next day, Xiao Zhu came to the training ground with the ointment. She walked to Mu Kong's side and said shyly, "This... this is the soothing ointment for you."

Mu Kong reached out to take it, but Xiao Zhu immediately snatched it back, "No... the girl asked me to supervise your medication."

"Supervision?" Mu Kong raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Xiao Zhu pulled Mu Kong to sit aside and opened the soothing cream. The soothing cream gave off a strong smell of purslane. She reached out to help Mu Kong apply it, but Mu Kong subconsciously pushed her hand away, "What are you doing?"

"Let me help you apply the ointment." Xiao Zhu opened his eyes wide and blinked, like two clear pools that could be seen through at a glance.

Mu Kong clearly had a hint of displeasure on his face, then he looked at Xiao Zhu, who still had an innocent look on her face. He didn't know where this anger came from, so he stretched out his hand and motioned Xiao Zhu to give him the soothing ointment.

Xiao Zhu handed over the ointment reluctantly, but she thought in her heart that the trick her daughter suggested was not working.

"for you."

After Mu Kong took the ointment, he used his rough fingers to scoop out a handful of white ointment and applied it to the chapped sides of his face. The cool ointment felt a little stinging when it touched his skin, but after the pain, he felt cool and comfortable.

He looked up again and found Xiao Zhu leaning over to look at him, his eyes wide open and a little scary. He frowned and asked, "Are you done with the supervision?"

"Yeah." Xiao Zhu nodded with satisfaction.

"Mu Kong, you have a very nice nose. It's not like mine which is flat and fleshy." Xiao Zhu touched his flat nose.

Mu Kong looked at Xiao Zhu's nose. It was not as flat as Xiao Zhu said. It was just a little fleshy and flat. However, it looked very cute on Xiao Zhu's face and not out of place at all.

Mu Kong took a long time to utter a few words, "Your nose attracts wealth."

"Really?" Xiao Zhu's expression became excited.

Mu Kong felt a little regretful for saying this to Xiao Zhu, who was now rubbing his nose up and down with pride.

Xiao Zhu was secretly happy and glanced at Mu Kong several times. She found a smile on Mu Kong's lips.

Mu Kong touched the medicine box and looked at it carefully before stuffing it into his clothes.

Mu Kong didn't train her as hard as he did yesterday.

Instead, he patiently taught her the moves of punching and kicking. When she had to do some moves that required throwing out, he would just fake it and then immediately pull it back and let her go.

Xiaozhu was overjoyed.

It seemed that her girl's idea was right. Mu Kong's attitude towards her had changed so much. He used to only speak one or two words to her.

Today, each sentence has nearly ten words.

Xiao Zhu was smiling foolishly, and was still smiling foolishly when it was almost time for dinner.

Helan Xuenuo couldn't bear it anymore, she screamed "whoosh" and scared Xiaozhu awake.

"What's the matter, kid? You've had a great day."

"Good girl, the method you taught me is really good. Mu Kong actually smiled at me today and said no less than five words to me." As Xiao Zhu spoke, the corners of her mouth raised, and even her eyes were filled with happiness.

"Oh?" Helan Xuenuo also admired her own method. It seemed that she was still as smart as ever.

If Xiaozhu marries Mu Kong in the future, then Mu Kong will be her brother-in-law.

In her previous life, Mu Kong was willing to sacrifice his life to save her in order to fulfill the trust her father had given him.

If I had a brother-in-law like this in this life, he would definitely protect Xiaozhu and the Helan Mansion well in the future.
