Chapter Seventy-Five: The Heart of Guarding Against Others Is Indispensable
The carriage moved forward slowly, there was no one talking along the way, Su Qianmu's eyes lingered on Mo Zi with scrutiny, but he didn't see any problems, but she was just a timid little girl, but Su Qianling's expression and reaction when he saw Mo Zi made him a little surprised, and he didn't know what made her like this.
When she arrived at the General's Mansion, Su Qianling took Mo Zi straight to Huashang Courtyard, and she held Mo Zi's hand tightly along the way, never letting go.
Waiting at the door as usual, Mother Jin saw Su Qianling bring a strange little girl back, her expression changed slightly, and she still welcomed out.
Following behind Su Qianling, Mother Jin looked at Zhiyan Zhihua with a tense face, and the two of them were a little flustered on their faces, which made Mother Jin's heart sink even more.
"What's your name?" Su Qianling's eyes stared at Mo Zi, suppressing the churning emotion in his heart, and there was no expression on his face.
Mo Zi stood aside, rubbing his hands back and forth nervously, and when he heard Su Qianling's question, his face was stunned, and then he looked over, and his voice was timid: "I don't have a name, everyone in the troupe calls me a baby!" ”
Su Qianling's heart moved slightly, looking at her with cowardice on her face, the softest part of her heart was inadvertently touched, she reached out and took Mo Zi's hand, and sighed softly: "That's it, from today on, you will be called Mo Zi, do you like this name?" ”
Mo Zi's face was suddenly stunned, and then a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, it was only for a moment, no one saw it, she took a step forward and knelt beside Su Qianling: "I like it!" Thank you Miss for giving her name, Mo Zi will serve Miss faithfully from now on and obey Miss's dispatch. ”
Mo Zi's words somewhat carried a bit of the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, Su Qianling was slightly stunned, thinking that it was inevitable that Mo Zi would perform with the opera troupe before, and it was inevitable to bring the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, so he didn't think about it anymore and sighed slightly.
"Hurry up." Su Qianling stretched out her hand to pull Mo Zi up from the ground, her face was soft and gentle, the corners of her lips were raised, and she brought out a shallow smile: "From today on, you will follow Zhihua Zhiyan to serve by my side!" ”
"This ...... That's not right! Mother Jin couldn't help but tremble in her heart when she heard Su Qianling leave this girl by her side, and her face was a little worried: "This child doesn't look like he has served people before, and now he will be arranged by his side, it is inevitable that it will be inappropriate, and the third lady is better to be cautious." ”
While speaking, Mother Jin's eyes lingered on Mo Zi again, seeing that the child didn't look like he had done something in a big family, let alone the rules, let her be in front of her, and if she couldn't keep the leak, she just served tea and water, and if she really offended the nobles in front of her that day, wouldn't it be even the third lady?
What's more, those who can stay in the third lady are all second-class maids or above, and they haven't even said hello to the eldest lady, and they have been promoted to second-class maids, which is inevitably a little inappropriate.
Su Qianling's face moved slightly, Mother Jin was not unreasonable, she turned her face and glanced at Mozi, her eyes flickered, bringing out a little ripple.
"Then Mo Zi will hand it over to Jin's mother, and let her know Yan Zhihua to follow her during this time, is this okay?" Su Qianling said, with a faint smile on her face.
Although Jin's mother is a servant, after all, she grew up eating her milk, and she is half a mother, and she can't help but have a bit of a taste of negotiation between her words.
Mother Jin was slightly stunned on her face, the third lady was still gentle and kind, according to her temperament, it was not impossible for poor Mozi to let her stay by her side, but there was always a feeling of unsteadiness, to say, I don't know where to start.
Mo Zi...... Wait a minute! Didn't the third lady call Mo Zi when she woke up from a nightmare before? Could it be that this child has any connection with the Mozi in the mouth of the third lady?
Thinking of this, Mother Jin's face was a little more solemn, and she quickly regained her normal color, met Su Qianling's gaze, and brought a light smile on her face: "The third lady likes this child so much, so let's do what the young lady wants, but the eldest lady ...... there."
"Mother, I will explain to myself, Jin's mother and train her with peace of mind." Su Qianling said, with a light smile on her face, and did not notice the change in the expression on Mother Jin's face, now that everyone is here, it is a great happiness for her.
"Yes, I will do my best to let her come to serve in front of the third lady." Mother Jin said, took the tea sent by Zhihua and handed it to Su Qianling.
Listening to Mother Jin's words, Su Qianling was relieved, took the tea sent by Mother Jin and took a sip lightly, the clear taste echoed between her lips and teeth, and her heart suddenly brightened up.
In her previous life, this child was inconspicuous by her side, but in the end, she saved herself, but she died a tragic death, and in this life, no one can hurt her again!
Waiting for Su Qianling to fall asleep, Mother Jin called Zhihua Zhiyan to the side courtyard, her face was gloomy, which made people's hearts tremble slightly.
"What has happened to Miss Three in the past two days? I came back yesterday with a wrong look, and today I got a little girl from an unknown source, what do you think? Mother Jin's voice was a little cold, and she looked at Zhihua Zhiyan, her face was solemn and gloomy.
There was a bit of panic on the screen, she had been following the third lady for the past few days, but she really didn't know anything!
"Originally, I had been doing well in the past few days, and I said I wanted to rest when I went back to the house yesterday, but I met the county prince of Luoyang Wangfu on the way, and the young lady was like a different person, and her eyes became terrifying......" Zhihua said, recalling yesterday's scene in his mind, his body couldn't help but tremble, raised his eyes to look at Jin's mother, and the words stopped.
"The ...... of the county king of Luoyang Palace"
Mother Jin read it silently, thinking that during this time, the third lady asked her to check, wasn't this person? Thinking of this, his expression changed suddenly, and there was a bit of fierceness between his eyes: "Is the county king of Duanyang Wangfu rude to Miss?" ”
"Nope!" Zhihua looked at Jin's mother with a nervous expression, and hurriedly said: "The king of Duanmu County is humble and polite, and there is nothing wrong with it, but the young lady treats people coldly, and she doesn't even return the courtesy, when she looks at the king of Duanmu County, there is even hatred in her eyes, but when she listens to the meaning of the king of Duanmu County, she doesn't know our young lady, and I thought that the young lady recognized the wrong person." ”
Carefully digesting the words of Zhihua, Mother Jin's expression softened slightly, it is impossible to recognize the wrong person, the third lady asked to check Duanmu Gaoyang before, she must have known him for a long time, but these people around her have never left, and they have never seen the third lady have any contact with him, this, what is going on?
"Then what's going on with this Mozi? The third lady has a soft temperament, and she has to do things peacefully, and you don't pull it, if the boss of the troupe deliberately makes a play and sends someone over to harm Miss, how many of you can afford it? ”
There was a reason for the previous incident about Duanmu Gaoyang, although I didn't understand it, I couldn't blame the two of them, but this brought back a child with no background for no reason, and he was so close, as a big girl, he didn't know to mention the master, it was a dereliction of duty.
Zhiyan looked at Zhihua, and couldn't help but feel a little more nervous, she knew that she had to persuade this kind of thing, Sister Zhihua had always been more stable than herself, but now why is she so confused?
My heart suddenly sudden, knowing that the picture brought out nervousness, I looked up at Mother Jin, and there was a little more embarrassment on my face: "That child was beaten on the road, and the crying was too loud, and I couldn't stop it, but this child just begged Miss to save her, but Miss, when I saw the child, I had to let the eldest son buy it, and the eldest son couldn't stop it, and I had no choice!" ”
Mother Jin's expression changed slightly, the eldest prince has always been steady, this child has some ability, and he can even ask the third lady to bring her back through the eldest son, it seems that she is really a character!
"Nothing suspicious about that kid when he's on the street?" Mother Jin frowned slightly, with a bit of deep thought on her face, and a pair of sharp eyes looked at Zhihua, as if she could see through her thoughts.
"Nope!" Zhihua replied without thinking about it, she observed it when she was on the street, the child was beaten and injured all over his body, and he had been hiding behind, but it was the third miss who seemed abnormal: "This child is just afraid of being beaten and has been hiding, and the third lady's expression suddenly changed when she saw her, and she looked like she knew before, so protective, even if she was to the fourth miss before, she had never seen the third miss so nervous." ”
Zhihua said, a trace of doubt flashed on his face, thinking that the third miss has really been a little abnormal in the past two days, when was it abnormal? She couldn't say it herself.
Mother Jin had a little deep thought on her face, and her mind quickly followed the recent events, she couldn't interfere in the master's affairs, but she had to take precautions for the master.
"Okay, everyone has brought it, and it can only be like this, if this Mo Zi is really true to the third lady, it is the best, but we can't let our guard down, pay attention to her these days." Mother Jin was still frowning, and there was no sense of relief on her face.
Zhiyan Zhihua glanced at each other and nodded, Jin's mother's worry is not unreasonable, now everyone in this mansion is a beast wearing human skin, how can you not guard against it?
Turning around and walking towards Su Qianling's main house, Mother Jin couldn't help muttering in her heart, her face was puzzled, but she couldn't figure it out.
Since the Spring Festival Banquet, the third lady is like a different person, although she is still gentle and gentle with people, she speaks and acts a little more sharply, and she seems to see people a little more clearly, at least for these sisters, she is not as heartfelt as before, she believes what people say.
Coupled with the recent incidents one after another, the third lady's resolute action is quite a bit of the look of a big lady, but recently no one has handed over these things to the third lady, what is going on?
The breeze blew through the Huashang Courtyard, with a few peach petals that were separated from the calyx, fluttering and scattering, falling all over the courtyard, adding a bit of peace and tranquility, Su Qianling fell asleep in the house, not knowing that someone was worried about his willfulness.
After cleaning up in the morning, Su Qianling went to the eldest lady's room to thrush, and by the way, she told Mo Zi about it, with a bit of eagerness in her tone, for fear that her mother would not agree and sell Mo Zi, after all, from an opera troupe, big families don't like such slaves.
The eldest lady listened, her face moved slightly, looking at the expression on Su Qianling's face, her heart sank, but her face was still calm and indifferent as usual, it seemed that this matter was just as simple as adding some food and drinking tea in the morning, and a different color flashed quickly under her eyes, and Su Qianling did not notice it.
