Chapter Ninety-Three: Cleaning Up
Dinner was used separately, Mo Guanjie had been in the study, Ah Jiu still felt sorry for his father in the end, and prepared a food box of snacks for Ling Shan to send in person.
She originally planned to listen to Mo Guanjie's instructions to visit the third brother Mo Junyong, but she was reluctant to mention the shortcomings of the third brother because of her unease, and no matter how much she said now, Mo Junyong might not be able to listen.
It was getting late, Mo Xinlan still didn't come back, Mo Guanjie was very anxious in the study, it wasn't that a servant came back with a message, Mo Xinqing stopped Mo Xinlan and persuaded Mo Xinlan to come back, Mo Guanjie had to go out of the house to find Mo Xinlan in person.
After Jiang Shi heard the news, he smiled faintly and ordered: "Wait for Sister Lan to come back, and let someone notify me." β
"Yes, ma'am."
"The master is in the study...... This matter is not allowed to be reported to SΓΉ Ah Jiu. β
"Yes."
"Why don't you tell me?"
Ah Jiu was draped in wet hair, wrapped in a heavy cotton coat, from the open neckline, you can see the goose-yellow obscene clothes and a touch of pink skin, and the small body that exudes the fragrance after bathing plunged into Jiang's arms, soft and coquettish: "Mother has something to hide from me?" β
Jiang's heart softened suddenly, and he hugged Ah Jiu and weighed it twice, no matter how much it hurt this little girl, he didn't feel too much, and picked up a dry towel to wipe Ah Jiu's hair, "Sister Lan'er, don't you want to know?" β
"Eighth Sister has found her."
"Hmm."
Jiang nodded.
Ah Jiu lay horizontally on the warm kang, his hair spread out, let Jiang wipe his hair clean, and slowly closed his eyes, "Mother......"
"What?"
"Today's ......" Ah Jiu hesitated for a moment, his pink face brought out a little irritability, and muttered, "I may have been possessed by a ghost." β
Jiang Shi said with a smile: "You never believe in ghosts. β
"I didn't believe it before. But yesterday I had another strange dream. β
Ah Jiu trusts Jiang the most, and is willing to say anything to Jiang, no matter whether she does something that satisfies Jiang or not. The Jiang clan will not hurt Ah Jiu.
"It's a strange dream, the place in the dream should be the demon world."
Jiang touched Ah Jiu's forehead. smiled: "Demon realm? β
"It's weird anyway." Ah Jiu's head rolled around on Jiang's lap, "Although the dream world is strange, it ...... I'm not a stranger, I know how to use things I don't know, and I have a sense of empathy. β
"And then?"
"A very beautiful, very powerful woman was abandoned by her fiancΓ©."
Ah Jiu's eyes suddenly became ssympathetic, "Obviously, she has status and property." There is a career that is difficult for others to achieve, yes, there is also a woman who can have a career, she doesn't have to be married and taught at home, she can only be trapped in the back house, and her fiancΓ© chose a ...... Only a kind and delicate woman, and to say that she is ......"
"What is it?" Jiang was much more cautious, and for some reason when Ah Jiu said this, she could hear the sadness in her daughter's mouth.
"Cold-blooded and ruthless, only money. A ...... specifically for the wealthy to exonerate themselves Lawyers have no public morality and do not know how to uphold justice. Sympathy for the disadvantaged......"
Ah Jiu said and spoke, tears rolled from the corners of his eyes, he didn't want Jiang to worry, and rolled directly into Jiang's arms, "Mother, I will sleep with you tonight, I don't want to have that strange dream anymore, she is so lonely, everyone says she is wrong." Even her parents, who have always been very filial, think that the man was right to abandon her, and no one sympathizes with her. No one understands her persistence and integrity......"
Most of the Jiang family couldn't understand what her daughter said. However, not understanding did not prevent Jiang from comforting Ah Jiu.
"Okay, okay."
Jiang hugged Ah Jiu distressedly and patted her on the back, "Ah Jiu, my mother will always accompany you, even if you do all the bad things, my mother will accompany you." β
In fact, Ah Jiu didn't necessarily fully understand these words, she couldn't hear other people's words in her dreams, only this passage she could not only hear, but also remember the deepest, the woman who could be eloquent was hit by relatives and friends, and left gloomily.
The lonely and gloomy back made Ah Jiu's heart like a knife. The Supreme People's Procuratorate's certificate, which she quietly shredded, drifted away in the wind.
She had already decided to give up her favorite lawyer's practice to become a judge and uphold judicial fairness, and she no longer had to worry about lawyers' ethics...... But it's too late.
Ah Jiu empathizes with the pain of not being understood, so she will lead the person who may be her friend to the teahouse today.
It is better to let Uncle Lu and Mu Yanyu see their true temperament clearly than to be blamed by them for deceiving them in the future.
If they don't look down on Ah Jiu and think that she is vicious and vicious, cold-blooded and selfish, she would rather not know them.
In Jiang's warm arms, Ah Jiu gradually fell asleep, even so, the tears in the corners of his eyes never dried, Jiang relaxed his body, let the daughter in his arms sleep more comfortably, and gently coaxed Ah Jiu, who was still unstable in his sleep, his brows were slowly tightened, thinking about it day and dreaming at night.
Jiang carefully observed Ah Jiu, yes, it was her daughter who had been raised since childhood, affectionate, talking, and her intimacy were the same as usual, Ah Jiu was not entangled in dirty things...... If it is really as Ah Jiu said, the woman who was abandoned by everyone in the dream is pitiful enough.
Fortunately, Ah Jiu won't be her!
Jiang tightened his arms and tightened his daughter a little tighter, staring at the hundred son patterns laid out on the warm kang, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his deep eyes, Ah Jiu is a daughter, Mo Xinlan and the others are still wary of Ah Jiu, if there is another ...... Jiang didn't know if he could protect it and raise it well.
She also doesn't have full confidence in Mo Guanjie, in case Mo Guanjie is promoted to knighthood in the future, the battle for the Mo family's title and property may become more and more intense.
Jiang has a feeling that Mo Guanjie's official position is by no means limited to the sacrificial wine of the country.
After Emperor Shenwu ruled the world, he rarely won the hereditary title again, but in case Mo Guanjie got the title one day, the Duke of Fuguo had to go crazy to guard against the children of the Jiang family?
"Ma'am."
Mother Qi walked in quietly and said in a low voice: "The second lady is back, and she is pleading with the master in the study." β
Jiang let go of Ah Jiu, wiped away Ah Jiu's unconscious tears, got up quietly, and took the cloak handed by Qi's mother. "Let's go, let's see."
*******
In the study, Mo Xinlan's hair was messy. The little face was pale, and he knelt pitifully in front of Mo Guanjie. Crying: "Father, my daughter is wrong. β
Mo Xinqing is in much better condition than Mo Xinlan, but chasing Mo Xinlan all the way, her injuries have not yet healed, and she is more fragile than usual.
Mo Xinqing knelt behind Mo Xinlan and lowered her head, "Father, the second sister didn't mean to quarrel with you. You know that the second sister has a straightforward temper, and she will not choose to say anything when she is excited, and the second sister has understood her mother's kindness after reflection. β
Jiang appeared at the door of the study, she was wearing a long-haired cloak, quiet and elegant, like a pearl, exuding a warm light that no one could ignore.
The peach is dying, scorching, and it is appropriate to have a room at IKEA.
Mo Guanjie's gaze looked at Jiang Shi over the two daughters who pleaded guilty, full of affection and a touch of guilt for Jiang, Mo Xinlan slowly clenched his fists. My heart hurt like a pinprick, and I thought I didn't care about my father's deep affection for Jiang, but when the facts were in front of me. Mo Xinlan still hates, hates her father and forgets her biological mother......
Mo Xinqing quietly dragged Mo Xinlan and shook her head slightly, suggesting that Mo Xinlan should stop being reckless, Mo Xinlan would continue to make trouble, and the status of Jiang's mother and daughter would be more important in Mo Guanjie's heart.
What man doesn't like a general, considerate woman?
When Mo Xinlan was intercepted outside, Mo Xinqing persuaded Mo Xinlan a lot, and hinted a lot in her words. also helped Mo Xinlan come up with a lot of ideas.
Mo Xinlan originally had a mediocre attitude towards Mo Xinqing, but Mo Xinqing gradually won Mo Xinlan's favor. Even if Mo Xinlan was wary of her, she still enjoyed Mo Xinqing's 'support' and 'idea'. Now that things have changed, it is not impossible to become good sisters with Mo Xinqing.
Without Aunt Zhou, Mo Xinqing has no backer, Mo Xinqing can't tie up with the Jiang family at all, if she doesn't rely on Mo Xinlan's brothers and sisters, who else can Mo Xinqing rely on?
Mo Xinlan just needs to prevent Mo Xinqing from colluding with Mo Junyong and Fu Guogong.
"Mother, just ...... I said the wrong thing, you are a lot of adults, don't be like your daughter. β
Mo Xinlan's eyes were red and swollen, she knelt and crawled two steps towards Jiang, her leg was injured, and it was very difficult to crawl, "It's my daughter who doesn't know what to do and misunderstands her mother." β
"Sister Lan, get up."
Jiang Shi saw that Mo Guanjie felt sorry for Mo Xinlan, and smiled softly, "It's all a family, what is to blame or not, as long as you understand that I am for your good, I am very relieved." β
Motioning for Mother Qi to help Mo Xinlan up, Jiang said slowly, "It's a trivial matter to ask me for guilt, but Sister Lan doesn't do it, how can I blame you?" Sister Lan has an injury on her leg, in case she falls ill for the sake of pleading, not to mention that the master is distressed, and I don't have the face to see your grandfather and uncles. β
Mo Xinlan's wound has actually been treated by Dr. Mo Xinqing outside, who doesn't care about her body?
Hearing Jiang say this, Mo Guanjie faintly had a sense that Mo Xinlan used her injury to force Jiang to forgive her, thinking about it carefully, as if Jiang was not wrong, Mo Guanjie sighed slightly, and his eyebrows were tired, "Sister Lan, your mother won't blame you, just get up and go back to the room to rest first." β
Mo Xinqing smartly helped Mo Xinlan up: "Father and mother have something to say, I'll send my second sister back first." β
"Don't forget to ask Sister Lan for a doctor."
Jiang reminded Mo Xinqing and said with relief: "With Sister Lan accompanying Sister Qing, I and the master can rest assured that Miss Qing is the same age as Ah Jiu, but she is much more sensible and stable than Ah Jiu." β
Mo Xinqing didn't dare to reply, today's Jiang's words are set up traps step by step, and if you are not careful, you will be pitted, in the past, Jiang was not so 'aggressive', she turned a blind eye to Mo Xinlan's careful thoughts, it seems that Mo Xinlan stabbed Jiang's sore spot, and Jiang will no longer treat Mo Xinlan as a child who is ignorant.
After they left, Jiang Shi glanced at the neat and untouched food box, "I just said that Ah Jiu's efforts were in vain, Sister Lan has not returned, how can the master be in the mood to eat?" It's just that Ah Jiu is afraid that the old man will be hungry, and now that Sister Lan is back, I will let you warm it up? "Zhuohua ......"
Mo Guanjie stood in front of Jiang and explained: "Sister Lan is my daughter, I will worry about her, if it is Ah Jiu, I will be the same." β
"You misunderstood, Ah Jiu and I never thought that Sister Lan and they would be different. I don't mind how much you hurt Sister Lan, there are still Ah Jiu and me, and Sister Lan has no relatives other than you. β
Jiang hinted that she would not care about Mo Xinlan anymore.
Mo Guanjie had a sad face, and scratched his hair irritably, "No matter how you do, no one is satisfied, can't the family be peaceful?" β
"It's not impossible to want peace, it's just that the master has to put more thought into Sister Lan'er, she can't think about it herself, and there is a young girl fanning the flames by the side, no matter how good-tempered people are, they can't stand it, not to mention that Ah Jiu's temperament is with me, and there is no sand in his eyes, and it is okay to make a step in small things, but he will not give in step by step."
Jiang said: "Sister Lan kept saying that her mother was distressed when she was wronged, her mother had already gone, and she couldn't see it, I was also a mother, and I was just as sad to see Ah Jiu wronged with my own eyes." β
Mo Guanjie grabbed Jiang's arm, "Don't go." β
"Whether the master believes it or not, I still have to say that Sister Lan is infatuated with the prince of Chengguo, not to mention that the Mo family is not peaceful, I am afraid that there will be a bigger scandal and her reputation will be lost. Even I can't see through the prince of Chengguo, and Sister Lan can't do it. β
Jiang Shi got rid of Mo Guanjie and lowered his eyelids, "Ah Jiu has been having strange dreams lately, I don't think it's fake, tomorrow I will take her to Jingxian Shitai and let Shitai help take a look." β
"Zhuohua, you don't have to."
"Today's events are so big, tomorrow the auxiliary prince will definitely come to the door." Jiang said mockingly: "I am even willing to send my own daughter to Nianci'an, it is difficult for others to find a way to attack you, and I am not just thinking about you, Ah Jiu's maternal grandfather is also attracting attention." β
ps Ah Jiu's previous life was a very distressing woman, so Ye never wanted her to recover the memories of her previous life, but only brought out a trace of the ability of her previous life in words and deeds. In this life, Ah Jiu has parents and Uncle Lu's love, and she will be very happy. (To be continued) R655
