An Lingrong's Rebirth: I will not offend others unless they offend me

One of the most important reasons why Lin was willing to endure Liu's torture was that she had no children.

An Lingrong tossed and turned all night without sleeping, and the dark circles under her eyes made Lin feel distressed again.

"Rong'er, my dear Rong'er. If you don't want to leave home, then we won't run for election."

An Lingrong grabbed Lin's hand and winked at Aunt Xiao.

"Mother, be careful with your words! Rong'er being able to participate in the election is a blessing earned in a previous life. I just can't bear to leave you, and I'm sad for a moment."

With Aunt Xiao guarding the door, An Lingrong leaned in Lin's warm arms and asked in a low voice.

"Mother, if my daughter is lucky enough to enter the palace, can you and Aunt Xiao go to the capital to settle down?"

She has taken the Ice Muscle and Jade Bone Pill, and her skin color and temperament are changing, so there is no need to worry about not being selected.

As for An Bihuai, it is hard to say whether he can survive and reach the capital.

Lin had lived for more than 30 years and had never left Songyang County. She gently hugged An Lingrong.

"Rong'er, your father is still in Songyang. It's not easy for our family to move to the capital."

"If the master is lucky enough to be promoted to the capital, it will be a completely different situation."

Seeing Aunt Xiao waving her hand behind her, An Lingrong, who was nestled in Lin's arms, had her eyes flash and she promised softly.

"Mother, I will serve the Emperor and the Empress Dowager wholeheartedly, hoping to receive grace so that Daddy and our family can return to the capital and be reunited."

"Hahaha! As expected of my daughter, An Bihuai, you have great ambitions."

The light in the room dimmed, and An Bihuai, wearing a quail patched robe, walked in with a lot of praise.

An Lingrong stood up and saluted with a smile.

"Meet Daddy."

An Bihuai gave An Lingrong a rare smile, strode past her, and helped Lin up.

"Madam has taught her daughter well. From now on, I, the master, will rely on our Rong'er."

Lin replied stiffly.

"As a woman in the harem, I dare not take credit for anything. It's all thanks to the master's good teaching."

When Lin said this, An Bihuai remembered the vicious woman Liu who tried to report him for buying an official position.

Comparing the two, I naturally felt a little satisfied with Lin.

Seeing that the couple was chatting as if no one was around, An Lingrong clenched her handkerchief and bowed to take her leave.

Aunt Xiao was very tactful and took her leave as well, and also signaled the servants in the courtyard not to disturb the main house.

An Bihuai's laughter came from the main room from time to time, disturbing An Lingrong's reading. She gave instructions with a smile.

"Bao Ge, tell the kitchen to make yam and wolfberry porridge."

"Yes, ma'am."

Baoge responded crisply.

Baoque, who came in with a teapot, saw this and flattered him with a smile.

"Young lady is so filial. If Madam knew about this, she would definitely feel relieved."

An Lingrong smiled but said nothing.

Bao Ge was quick and in less than half an hour, An Lingrong brought the yam and wolfberry porridge with added ingredients into the main room.

"Rong'er, look, this is the hairpin the master gave me. Come and choose one."

An Lingrong took a glance and saw a simple, small round-headed hairpin and a flat-headed hairpin lying quietly in the palm-sized wooden box.

"Mom, I've made you some yam and wolfberry porridge to replenish your blood and improve your eyesight. Drink it while it's hot."

Seeing her daughter was so sensible, Mrs. Lin smiled and finished the small bowl of porridge.

An Lingrong claimed that she had a plain silver hairpin and declined her mother's kindness.

In her previous life, she carried the silver hairpin with her whenever she entered or left the palace. In this life, when she returned to that cannibalistic place, she naturally had to carry it with her.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the eve of departure.

Bao Ge reported that the master was working in the study. When An Lingrong learned about it, she came with a pot of tea.

After getting permission, An Lingrong slowly walked in.

"My son, what's the matter with you coming here?"

An Bihuai was looking forward to the wealth and glory his daughter would bring him, so he was naturally willing to give her a good face.

An Lingrong bowed and placed the teapot on the table.

"Rong'er saw that Daddy worked day and night and was distressed that he couldn't share your worries. So I got up early to pick dew and brewed a pot of flower dew tea."

An Bihuai lost a large sum of money and after handing over his house to the Lin family, he had to patrol and socialize outside every day, which was indeed quite tiring.

Hearing An Lingrong's words, he hurriedly poured himself a cup of floral tea.

As the golden tea soup entered my throat, a sweet and refreshing fragrance spread, and the blisters in my mouth didn't seem so painful anymore.

Seeing that his daughter was so tactful, An Bihuai said it casually for the first time.

"Rong'er is leaving home tomorrow. Is there anything you need? If you are missing anything, tell Daddy."

This old man is really bold. Most of the shops outside are closed. I have to leave early tomorrow morning, so I don’t have time to browse the shops.

An Lingrong thought so in her heart, but she did not slow down and knelt down.

"Daddy, I have something to ask of you!"

An Bihuai, who was drinking tea, paused, his face darkened, and asked in a deep voice.

"Rong'er, if you have any request, just tell me! As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

This old guy is even more cunning than Xiao Xia Zi. It’s the same as if he said nothing.

An Lingrong bowed her head and said, "Father, I have received news that the masters from the capital said that His Majesty appreciates women who can read and write. I have come to ask you to give her up."

When An Bihuai heard that his daughter was here to ask for books, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as she wasn't here to ask for money.

The books in the study were all bought by him to show off his culture, and some of them were ancient books given to him as a gift from his subordinates, which were neither edible nor drinkable.

An Bihuai waved his hand and let her choose from the bookshelf herself.

With permission, An Lingrong selected a set of 3,000 books for children, several rare poetry collections in the study, and a pile of dusty books in the corner.

"Dad, I've made my choice. Do you want to review it?"

An Bihuai waved her hands repeatedly and specifically asked her to serve the king well. His words implied that the family would rely on her, the eldest daughter, in the future.

"Father, I've heard that the current emperor hates evil and those who bully others. After I go to the capital, I'll ask you to take care of my family and servants so that I don't have to worry about anything."

There are still some necessary beatings, and of course sweet dates are also indispensable.

"Father, when I hold a high position in the future, my family will have everything. Don't worry, I will make good plans."

An Bihuai's dark face was instantly filled with smiles, and he nodded repeatedly in agreement.

After bidding farewell to An Bihuai and returning to the east wing, Lin was already waiting in the room.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Lin's tears started to flow before she could say anything, and she covered her face with a handkerchief.

"My son will leave home tomorrow. I don't know when we will see each other again."

An Lingrong knew that when a concubine in the palace was eight months pregnant, her mother could be summoned to serve in the palace, but she couldn't say it now.

She handed the book to Baoque who was following behind her, and she went forward to hug her mother.

"Mom, please believe me, we will meet again soon."

The magic pill in the small medicine cabinet is the guarantee that mother and daughter will meet.

Afraid that Lin would damage her eyes from crying, An Lingrong immediately changed the subject.

"Mom, you've suffered a lot in the backyard. I just hope you can get well and give birth to a little brother soon."

An Bihuai took the person to the main house and had him stay overnight several times.

Lin shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"Rong'er, I haven't been able to get pregnant in these years. It's not easy to give birth to a son. Having you is enough for me."

Realizing that Lin had accepted her fate, An Lingrong, who slept with her, pestered her, saying that she was worried about her mother's health and asked her to agree to invite a doctor to the house for a consultation every month.
