After Cheng Xu's words were finished, he fell into silence, and he realized that the girl in front of him had only nodded all along, and did not express half of her opinion on what he said, which was a bit strange.

Could it be that he is talking too fast?

When Cheng Xu stopped talking, the atmosphere in the audience became more and more strange. Realizing this situation, Mo Ye hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Your Commander-in-Chief...... Didn't embarrass Uncle Wu, right? ”

"How can I be embarrassed? He has other tasks on him. Cheng Xu shook his head, thinking in his heart: It turns out that the reason why this girl has become extremely dull is that she is worried about the fifth child in her heart.

mentioned Wu Shu, Cheng Xu suddenly remembered something, and said: "Wu Shu told me that he has something with you, right?" ”

Cheng Xu's last two words, his tone changed abruptly, and he exerted a kind of pressure on Mo Ye.

Mo Ye felt this persecution, her eyes were slight, and she didn't make a sound, but she didn't hide it, and nodded lightly.

"If you don't want to hurt him, I advise you not to forget to give it back to him tomorrow." Cheng Xu's tone of voice was slightly cold, and there was already an obvious warning meaning.

But when he finished saying this, he saw the fear in Mo Ye's eyes, which seemed to make him think of something, and his tone was softened: "I brought your medicine, drink it while it's hot." ”

Mo Ye took the box handed by Cheng Xu, and when he opened the lid, he remembered that he hadn't eaten dinner yet, and this medicine, which had been taken continuously for nearly five years, was usually taken after meals. But when she lifted the lid on the bowl, she found that there was no more heat in it, and she thought that there were only the last two bowls left, and it would be over in one fell swoop, so she only hesitated a little and picked up the bowl.

If Wu Shu brought medicine, he would definitely choose a time after dinner. And because most of his activities are at night, he will wait until it is dark. However, the medicine he brought would definitely not be carefully filtered like Cheng Xu, and it would be served in a small bowl for easy drinking.

Mo Ye was thinking in his heart, his lower lip had just pressed to the edge of the bowl, and before he could speak, he heard Cheng Xu speak again, and his tone had already returned to that habitual banter.

"I really don't want to carry that big jar on the street, and I can't fly on the wall with the jar like him. But that shouldn't affect you, right? ”

Cheng Xu said, and looked at Mo Ye fixedly, as if asking: Do you have any opinion on this point of view?

Mo Ye was stunned. Almost didn't blow a bowl of medicine away.

……

Cheng Xu came suddenly, and he left in a hurry, and the whole process took less than half an hour. However, Mo Ye and him don't really have the affection of cousins, and they have only met each other a few times, and they haven't gotten acquainted with each other yet. Naturally, there is no need for long words to say goodbye.

When Cheng Xu left, he took the box with him. It seems that the people from that mysterious organization have a very consistent style of doing things. As soon as he thought of this, Mo Ye couldn't help but think of Wu Shu again.

On this trip, Cheng Xu seemed to be very unhappy to mention Wu Shu's matter in front of Mo Ye.

His stay in the Song Mansion was very short, and in this short opportunity. As long as Mo Ye had a question about Wu Shu or tried to ask, he was rejected by Cheng Xu without any room for maneuver.

Maybe it's the empty stomach, after drinking the medicine. The churning sensation in my belly lasted for a long time. After sending Cheng Xu away, when returning, Mo Ye walked in the corridor and rested several times along the way before gradually calming down the boredom. also suppressed the worry about Wu Shu for the time being.

She subconsciously walked towards the study where Ruan Luo was.

However, when she passed through a moon-curling gate between the courtyards. As soon as her eyes touched the door of the study, she suddenly heard an exclamation, and then saw Bai Tao's figure staggering out of the study slightly.

Mo Ye's heart tightened, and his steps suddenly increased, and he shouted as he ran towards the study: "Sister Bai Tao, what happened?" ”

When Bai Tao fell out of the house, she neglected her feet in a panic, and her heel tripped over the threshold, causing her to sit heavily on the ground. However, she didn't seem to feel the slightest pain, and her mind became a little dazed in the panic.

Hearing Mo Ye's voice, she tilted her head, and suddenly shouted again: "Young Master......"

Mo Ye ran to Bai Tao to help her up, and then followed Bai Tao's flustered gaze and looked towards the study, and then she couldn't help but be shocked!

In the study, Ruan Luo had already stood up from behind his desk and walked towards the door with a suppressed cough. His face was also surprised, but he didn't understand why Bai Tao suddenly screamed after he just stepped into the study.

When Mo Ye saw Ruan Luo, he was surprised that the hand he covered his lips had a little black liquid between his fingers that could not be distinguished, and it overflowed with his gentle cough. And looking at Ruan Luo's expression, he himself seemed to have no idea about it.

Mo Ye's heartbeat slipped suddenly, his heart was suffocated, and he immediately lost his voice and said, "Brother Ruan, you ......"

"What's wrong with you two?" Ruan Luo's eyes became more and more suspicious, and he removed the hand that was covering his mouth as he spoke, only to see a black wet mark on the palm of his hand. He himself was stunned, and immediately laughed, and said, "I said why the taste suddenly became astringent, it turned out to be a mistake." ”

……

The reason for Bai Tao's exclamation was very simple, just because he saw Ruan Luo take a sip of the inkstone, and it was too late to stop it.

The cause of the incident has to be mentioned from Mo Ye just now after leaving the study.

After Mo Ye left, Ruan Luo sat alone and drank porridge, which was really boring and tasteless, so unconsciously, his hand touched the book again, opened the title page he saw before, and gradually became fascinated by the reading, so he forgot about drinking porridge.

After reading a paragraph, he encountered something obscure, he put down the book and thought about it, but remembered the matter of drinking porridge again. So the matter naturally evolved into him reading a book while drinking porridge, and the result was that he used the inkstone as a porridge bowl and drank a sip of ink.

The ink is made of grinding carbon rods and water, and there is no bitter taste in the mouth, but there are a lot of sand-like particles in the ink, which is more astringent. And when Ruan Luo just noticed the abnormality, Bai Tao's exclamation at the door of the study suddenly came, making him choke his throat and cough, which made his appearance look more and more terrifying with the ink stained on his lips.

Bai Tao was so frightened that her legs were a little weak, Mo Ye let her stay in the study, and she ran to the kitchen and fetched a large pot of well water to bring it. One back and forth, and a sweat broke out again.

Rinse your mouth several times before removing the ink residue from your mouth. Ruan Luo looked at Mo Ye, who was sweating profusely, and Bai Tao, who was still frightened in his eyes, he smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "I'm fine, I just drank a sip of ink by mistake, it doesn't matter." ”

Mo Ye and Bai Tao looked at Ruan Luo, and then glanced at each other, both of them seemed to have words, but they held back and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Ruan Luo thought for a while and said, "Mo Ye's cousin came just now, and he made an appointment beforehand, so I asked her to go to the front hall." I don't blame her for this, it's my own fault, such a big person, and it's a little embarrassing to make such a mistake. ”

Bai Tao showed a sudden expression on his face, and muttered in a low voice: "So that's ......"

Looking at this situation, she may really have the intention of blaming Mo Ye in her heart just now, but she didn't say it directly in front of Ruan Luo.

However, regardless of whether Bai Tao would directly blame him, Mo Ye still had an apology in his heart for this matter. Bai Tao has the responsibility to manage the behavior of the maids in the house, and in the face of the things entrusted by this big maid in charge, he made a mistake so quickly, Mo Ye's conscience will inevitably be uneasy.

- I just hope that Ruan Luo is really okay as he said!

Therefore, although Ruan Luo had already explained the reason, Mo Ye still seriously apologized to Bai Tao. But when she turned to face Ruan Luo, she didn't do this, but locked her eyebrows, and said seriously: "Brother Ruan, in the future, when you have a meal, please leave the study, and when you are in the dining room, you are not allowed to hold a book in your hand." ”

Although Mo Ye has some places to ask Bai Tao for help in the service rules, she also has the right to supervise Wang Zhe. Compared with the maids, the meaning of Mo Ye staying by Ruan Luo's side is a little different.

The mistake he had just made was in the past, and Ruan Luo naturally had no objection to Mo Ye's request, and agreed with his mouth.

"It's okay, I won't continue to read." After a pause, Ruan Luo said again: "You two haven't had dinner yet, have you?" Let's go eat first, and we'll clean up here later. ”

Bai Tao, who had been palpitating and not making a sound, suddenly said, "Let's ask Lang Zhong to take a look, right?" Brother Ruan, you took a sip of ink! ”

"No, the ink, though it's black and scary, isn't poison." Ruan Luo immediately waved his hand, looking at Bai Tao's face, he thought about it and then said: "Actually, you suddenly screamed just now, so scared that I spit out a mouthful of ink, you are more effective than Lang Zhong's medicine!" ”

Bai Tao froze when she heard this, and she didn't know how to say for a long time, but a trace of blush came out from her cheeks, which were slightly pale with fright, and immediately betrayed her mind.

Ruan Luo couldn't see this, he had already left with a smile.

Mo Ye had seen this, but with her age and opportunity, she didn't quite understand what this phenomenon meant. Maybe one day, she will also have a shy experience, and she will understand, right?

……

During dinner, Mo Ye met the housekeeper of the Song Mansion under the introduction of Bai Tao.

The reason why I didn't see this housekeeper surnamed Bu when I first arrived here was because in addition to managing the general affairs of the Song family's mansion, the butler Bu also had the responsibility of contacting the properties under the Song family's name.

The property in the name of Master Song was transferred to the name of his nephew Ruan Luo, in addition to the bookkeepers everywhere to contact Tongda one after another, some official deeds also had to be replaced.

In the recent days, the butler has taken on a lot of things, so he has left all the things in the mansion to Bai Tao for the time being.
