- The sudden arrival of the Iron Maniac surprised and excited the swordsmith apprentice, but at the same time, he was a little at a loss, not knowing how to communicate with this refining master, and he couldn't even pick the right first sentence. Just when it was unusually quiet in the furnace room, two palace guards came outside the house to carry the corpses in carts. A guard carried the body from the cart into the house and threw it into the hearth, where the blazing flames were pressed slightly lower.

The sword-forging apprentice who was standing aside and seeing this scene suddenly thought of the three words that Tie Mad had just said, and hurriedly moved his hand, the soup bowl he was holding in both hands moved to the left hand side, and his right hand reached into a cloth bag on his shoulder, felt out a grain, and threw it into the hearth.

There was a slight explosion, and a cloud of smoke and dust burst out in the furnace, turning into a fireball, enveloping the body that had just been thrown in, and the fire in the furnace was strong again.

Watching this scene in silence, he noticed that the fire suddenly flourished because the apprentice had thrown something into it, and his iron-like eyebrows were slightly raised, but he still did not speak.

After concentrating on the errand at hand, the two guards who were transporting the corpse noticed the somewhat familiar face of Tie Mad and quickly recognized him, the two guards hurriedly bowed slightly and bowed their hands in salute: Iron Master.

The guards' thick and respectful voices were in their ears, and the swordsmith apprentice realized that he had been in the furnace room for so long, and he was so clumsy, and he hadn't spoken a word to him, and the nervous and embarrassed look on his face reappeared.

Iron Mad didn't notice this, perhaps because he had been locked up in a dark room for a long time. The etiquette that these people should pay attention to when dealing with each other has become a trivial and inconsequential thing for him. However, although he has not been exposed to such things bordering on reputation and status for a long time, the feeling of being respected will not make the respected person feel too bad.

Facing the respectful attitude of the two guards. Iron Maniac was accustomed to showing the solemn contours of his face, and he smiled gently, signaling that he did not need to be formal, but he still did not say a word.

The sword-forging apprentice who was in charge of the furnace fire in the furnace room didn't say a word after seeing the iron madness, because he was too nervous and excited when he suddenly saw the big man in the refining room come to the refining room. After entering the furnace room, in addition to the reminder of the content of the furnace fire care work, it was because he had been in the dark room for a long time, and his heart was indeed affected. For a while, I still didn't recover my verbal skills.

But. In the face of the furnace room, these two people are in a somewhat abnormal state of mind. Although the other two palace guards had been carrying the corpses for an hour in a row, they could already feel a little tired, but their spirits were still calm. Ignoring the iron madness to speak. The two guards glanced at each other, and then one of them took the initiative to ask: Why did Master Tie think of coming to the furnace room today?

As soon as the guard said this, the sword-forging apprentice standing on the side behind the iron madness had a look in his eyes, and he suddenly remembered that this was also the question he was puzzled by in surprise.

Someone took the initiative to inquire, and the iron madness finally realized that he needed to explain something, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: I've been idle for a long time and bored, so I've come here, maybe it's because I have an indissoluble relationship with the instrument.

Iron Maniac signed the most valuable ten years in his life to the Commander's Mansion with a paper contract, serving the nascent empire of Nanzhao for so long. But in this long time, his range of activities has never left the small courtyard.

And a few days ago, there was a faint news from the Commander's Mansion that the contract signed by the Iron Maniac and the Imperial Court represented by the Commander's Mansion was about to expire, so the two guards didn't feel too strange when they saw the Iron Maniac leave the small courtyard and come to the furnace room. However, the first place that Iron Maniac came to after leaving the small courtyard was actually the furnace room, which was still related to refining weapons, which seemed to naturally confirm what he said at this time.

Knowing that Iron Maniac was not just wandering around because he had the orders of the Commander, the two guards hesitated, thinking about whether to persuade him to go back to the small courtyard, when at this moment, the sword-forging apprentice who had been silent finally couldn't help but ask: Master, are you leaving here?

Leave? Iron Maniac hesitated for a moment, somewhat misunderstanding the meaning of the swordsmith's apprentice's words, well, I came here just to take a casual look, and then I went back.

The two guards on the side heard what Tie Mad said, and knew that he had the consciousness to go back on his own, so he immediately suppressed the idea of persuading him to return, and looked at each other without saying more.

There were still a lot of corpses waiting to be carried and burned in the courtyard that was only opened today, and the two were about to retreat silently and continue to be busy with the affairs over there, when they suddenly heard Tie Madness stop them and asked: What is the purpose of such a burning method in the courtyard today? Looking at the costumes of these corpses, it doesn't seem to be a good kind, but according to my understanding of the world when I didn't enter the Commander's Mansion more than ten years ago, even death row prisoners with different heads can be buried, and the last trace of dignity of the deceased should always be there.

The time when Tie Mad entered the Commander's Mansion coincided with the alternation of the old and the new between the two dynasties. At that time, the imperial capital was only a small seaside city, and it was not uncommon for the corpses of civilians to die of starvation and illness on the road. Iron Maniac is not a native of Huyang, and he is no stranger to this miserable scene as he is accustomed to living in seclusion in the four wild areas, so after many years, he saw the guards burning the corpses in a large furnace of molten iron in the Commander's Mansion this morning, and such a scene that can be described as cruel fell into his eyes, which only made him frown slightly.

Compared with the strange feelings that rose in his heart, he was more concerned about his questioning of this matter.

The Reichinate does have the power to deal with human offenders, and this privilege granted by the current emperor out of trust in the Regent can even make the Reichin's power over life and death in a certain area surpass the power of the Kyoto Prefecture, which is also an expert that the Iron Maniac already knows. However, the number of corpses burned today is really huge, not one or two, not a dozen, it seems that it has exceeded a hundred, and there is a tendency to continue to increase, which makes Iron Maniac can't help but be surprised.

Seriously calculated, in fact, today was the first time that Iron Maniac had come to the furnace room, so it was not surprising that he didn't understand this. But for the swordsmith who had been working in the furnace for more than four years, he was only an apprentice to the alchemist. However, his understanding of the chores in the furnace room is much richer than that of the iron maniac who only stopped in the dark room to study equipment for more than ten years.

At this time, listening to Iron Mania's questions to the two guards, and the surprised and questioning expression on his face, the swordsmith apprentice felt that he didn't need to ask, and he already knew the iron master's mood at the moment. If you go back in time to four years ago. This swordsmith had just entered the furnace room of the Commander's Mansion, and soon after he saw this strange and extraordinary scene for the first time in his life, his shock at that time was several times stronger than the iron madness at this moment.

The swordsmith apprentice was hesitating whether to open his mouth and explain to his nominal master, but when he saw that the two guards were one step faster, one of them slowly opened his mouth, and summarized the matter in a few words: These disguisers were all murderers who intended to assassinate His Majesty last night, because their identities were strange, and the Lord Commander ordered them to be burned without leaving a trace, so as to avoid future troubles. Master Tie doesn't have to worry about this.

In this world. Anyone who intends to assassinate the emperor. If the king is angered, he is likely to die without a place to be buried, let alone the dignity of digging a hole and burying after death.

The guard's explanation was not specific. But he can carefully seal all the thoughts in Iron Mania's heart about this matter, but the aspect of this matter is a little special. The law stipulates that when it comes to someone, it seems to be stagnant. Iron Maniac nodded knowingly, and didn't say anything more.

After only being silent for a moment, he suddenly spoke again: "The two of you are busy, I suddenly thought of some small questions about refining, and I want to talk to this little junior." I've been so bored lately that if I don't gossip with someone, I'll get sick.

The two guards knew what the Iron Maniac had been bored with lately. And they also learned something from Wu Wei on the other side of the courtyard, and in recent days, Iron Mania has indeed shown signs of mental proximity, so the two of them roughly believed what Iron Maniac said, and didn't say much to remind him to go back to the courtyard quickly. However, the two guards were still attentive to a certain aspect of the matter, and when they took their leave, one of them gave the swordsmith a look, and the meaning was not difficult to see, that is, he was told to be cautious in his words.

Seeing this, the sword-forging apprentice hurriedly nodded his head to indicate that he understood.

However, it was not only the swordsmith apprentice who had read the eyes of the guards of the Commander's Mansion, but had lived in this Kyoto Supreme Anbu High Mansion, which was no less spacious than Kyoto Prefecture for more than ten years, and the Iron Maniac himself knew a lot about some details of the words and deeds of these guards.

So before the two guards left, Iron Maniac was thinking that the junior apprentice should know a lot about this morning, and as soon as the two guards turned around and left the house, Iron Maniac was wondering, do you need to know something from the junior apprentice?

Watching the two guards stride away with the cart carrying the corpse, out of the small courtyard where the furnace room was located, Iron Maniac turned his face to look at the swordsmith apprentice, and a little hesitation slipped in his eyes.

The sword-forging apprentice and the iron madness only glanced at each other, and quickly understood, but they waved their hands again and again: No, no, no, master, since the commander's mansion has spoken, the junior must be tight-lipped about this matter.

Tie Mad laughed and said: Is there anything to 'keep your mouth shut' about this? The whole thing is just a 'kill' word, but this morning's killing was too heavy, and I couldn't bear to look at it.

After a little pause, he drained the bowl of hot soup with a faint pink color, exhaled comfortably, and when he put down the bowl, his words turned very quickly: I have been in the Commander's Mansion for more than ten years, and it is strange to say that every morning this soup has to be spread from the big kitchen to the entire courtyard, but I have rarely heard of anyone who is tired of eating it. I can't help but feel a little reluctant to think that I might not be able to eat such a delicacy in the future.

The food structure of the Commander's Mansion is not as complex and rich in meaning as the Imperial Banquet, and when you put it together, you can only serve ten meals with reasonable combinations and reasonable amounts, and you can change them every half month, but all the officials who have come to the Commander's Mansion for a banquet should not praise the chef of the Commander's Mansion. It's not that the officials on the side will say this in order to flatter the commander, most people evaluate it like this, and their words are sincere. There were also several ministers who had participated in the imperial banquet, and they used their tongues to prove the skill of the chef of the Commander's Mansion to hold a shovel.

There is also a very credible theory that the emperor often comes to this palace to discuss some things with his most trusted and important brother, so the royal chefs in the palace will assign a few people to stay in the palace to take care of His Majesty's food tastes. But there is obviously another loophole in this rumor, saying that it is for His Majesty that the imperial chef will be placed like this. But in fact, the big kitchen tinkers with these delicacies every day, and it has never been broken, and it seems that those imperial chefs have decisively become the fire of the Commander's Mansion, and it seems that their status has been devalued.

One way or another. The Commander's Mansion can have the strength that it is now strong from the inside out, and the Commander-in-Lord's ability to surpass the Kyoto Prefecture's life-and-death arbitrariness, even if you only look at and think about some small details in the Domain, you can get the answer.

……

In addition to the stone path, there is also a corridor pavilion that is convenient for walking on rainy days. At this time, it was already completely dark outside, and the lanterns on the cloister that were far away from each other revealed a faint halo, which was only enough to reflect the outline of the cloister, but it did not affect walking.

According to Wang Zhe's arrangement, it seems that Ruan Luo will have to rest early at night in the future, so the courtyard gradually becomes quiet after sunset. Naturally, the activities of the servants were also reduced. Walk through the dimly lit cloisters. There was silence all around. Mo Ye's mind calmed down, and he couldn't help but wonder what Cheng Xu's sudden arrival might be for.

But she only thought about it casually. I didn't think too much about it, anyway, I would naturally know when I saw Cheng Xu.

However, it was Wang Zhe who arranged it so meticulously that Cheng Xu could not only see him in a bright identity, but also leave enough space for Cheng Xu to talk to him......

Mo Ye suddenly remembered that a few hours ago, when he saw Jiu Niang in Qihuanlou, Jiu Niang said that Wang Zhe and his master had some friendship. But estimating Wang Zhe's age, he can be separated from his master. The friendship between the two should be shallow, but Wang Zhe seems to know himself very well, why is this......

Small leaves

As soon as Mo Ye thought of this in her heart, she heard a call in her ear, interrupting her train of thought.

She subconsciously looked towards where the voice came from, and saw Cheng Xu, dressed like a rich man, leaning against a cloister pavilion pillar, smiling at herself.

Journey...... Mo Ye immediately spoke, but before the word 'uncle' could be spoken, she immediately changed her mouth again, and called in a slightly lower voice: Cousin.

Alas, I didn't expect to see each other for half a day, so I took a cousin. Cheng Xu sighed, pushed the pavilion pillar casually, straightened his back, and walked towards Mo Ye.

Seeing a hint of vigilance in Mo Ye's eyes, he smiled again and said: You are always vigilant, but you don't have to worry about it at this time, the servants around you have been separated by me. Although I am not as good as Lao Wu's ability, I can still perceive the movement within twenty steps.

Mo Ye breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, looked at Cheng Xu who was approaching, and then noticed that he was carrying a box in his hand, which didn't seem to be too light.

Mo Ye was about to ask, but saw Cheng Xu speak first: Cousin...... Cousin, take a walk with you.

Somehow, Mo Ye couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he heard the tone of his words, but soon felt funny again and burst into laughter.

……

Your Uncle Wu can't come today because of something, but I'm just running this trip for him, and he will definitely come tomorrow night.

You've had your days all afternoon, so I didn't get a chance to see you alone until now. Let me tell you, I have a little difference from Wu Shu, that is, I have a clear identity and have been 'running' a grocery store for a few years. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me, no one will doubt it.

The Song family is a good person from top to bottom, and you can rest assured that you live here.

In the Song family's mansion, which has a total of five entrances, most of the courtyards are now vacant, and Cheng Xu took Mo Ye to walk into a quiet courtyard. Walking slowly between the corridors, Cheng Xu's words were said incoherently, changing the kind of joke that he usually seemed to be unable to get rid of, and became more steady, as if he had made a few promises to Mo Ye in a row.

Mo Ye had been listening silently all the time, without interjecting, and he didn't know how to interject appropriately.

Every word that Cheng Xu said at the moment provided her with extremely unfamiliar news, except for the first sentence, there was a familiar name.

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...... 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. It's worried about the fifth child in my heart.

mentioned Wu Shu, Cheng Xu suddenly remembered something, and said: Wu Shu told me that he has something with you. Is it?

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 return it to him tomorrow. Cheng Xu's tone of voice was slightly cold, and there was already an obvious warning meaning.

But when he said this, he saw the fear in Mo Ye's eyes. It seemed to make him think of something. The tone was slow again: your medicine. I brought it, 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 has been taken continuously for nearly five years, is 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 were at night, he would wait until it was dark before he appeared. However, the medicine he brought would definitely not be carefully filtered like Cheng Xu. Serve 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 like him, but it 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, and 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 he don't really have the family affection of cousins and sisters, and they have only met each other a few times, and they haven't gotten acquainted with each other yet, so naturally there is no need for a long talk about 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 any questions about Wu Shu or tried to ask, he was rejected by Cheng Xu without any room for maneuver.

Maybe it was because the stomach was empty, and after the guide drank the medicine, the churning feeling in his stomach 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 and temporarily suppressing his worries about Wu Shu.

She subconsciously walked towards the study where Ruan Luo was.

However, when she passed through an arc moon gate in the courtyard, and her eyes just 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 while running 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. I saw a black wet mark on the palm of my hand. He himself was stunned, and then laughed, and said: I said why the taste suddenly became astringent, it turned out that I was mistaken.

……

The reason for Bai Tao's exclamation was simple. Just because I saw Ruan Luo pick up the inkstone and take a sip, 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, I encountered something obscure. He put down his book and thought. I remembered the porridge again. So things naturally evolved into him drinking porridge and reading a book at the same time. As a result, I used the inkstone as a porridge bowl and drank a sip of ink.

The ink is made by grinding carbon rods and water, and there is no bitterness in the mouth. It's just that 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. A back and forth. I was sweating 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 about it and said: Mo Ye's cousin came just now, and he made an appointment in advance, 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 the case......

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, when you have dinner in the future, 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 don't continue to read anymore. 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 didn't make 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 is black and scary, but it's not poison. Ruan Luo immediately waved his hand, looking at Bai Tao's face, he thought about it and 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 under the name of Master Song was transferred to the name of his nephew Ruan Luo, except for the bookkeepers everywhere who had to contact Tongda one after another. Some official deeds also need 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.

It wasn't until the chief steward of the Song family said it to this point that Mo Ye knew Bai Tao's status in the Song family. It's not just about staying for a long time and having high qualifications.

Although Bai Tao is not related to Master Song, he has a father-daughter relationship. Bai Tao was picked up by Master Song from the side of the road when she was four years old, and after nine years, Master Song taught and raised her far more than she used to call slaves. If it weren't for Master Song being too busy, maybe he would have recognized Bai Tao as a righteous daughter, right?

-- Just to officially recognize women, it is necessary to go through some official documents.

Master Song has been ignoring these things because he is too busy with business, but his nurturing and caring for Bai Tao is a fact that is really seen by a group of servants. Unfortunately, a few months ago, Master Song died of a sudden illness. This intention of his will never be realized.

The step steward has the right to know most of the affairs of the Song family. Not much can actually be done. I can only do my best, and after the death of Master Song, I will try my best to let Bai Tao live a more peaceful life. And about this wish of Master Song before his death. The step steward was also ready to wait for a little more leisure, so he told Ruan Luo, the future master of the Song family, to make a decision.

After learning about these situations from the step steward, Bai Tao couldn't cry anymore. Mo Ye couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the world is impermanent, and good things are grinding.

When Ruan Luo arrived at Song's house, the step steward was still in a shop in a neighboring county before Master Song's death, and he was entangled in trouble.

After getting the news, the step steward immediately rushed back, but the little leisure he squeezed out was only enough for him to have dinner and meet Ruan Luo again. Roughly hand over the general outline of the Song family's industry. He didn't even have time to drink more tea and rest, so he hurried back to the neighboring county and continued to clean up the shop, which had only completed part of the business.

After a hurried meal, the step steward also summoned all the servants of the Song family to the hall where the servants were eating, and officially introduced Mo Ye's arrival in front of everyone.

With the chief steward presiding, all the servants' impression of Mo Ye was much clearer. And this step-by-step manager's rigorous and thoughtful style of acting can be regarded as deeply imprinted in Mo Ye's mind.

When Master Song died in a foreign country, the closest person to his side was also this step steward. Master Song was widowed and had no queen, worked hard for most of his life, and after his sudden death, he relied on this old guy beside him to take care of the aftermath.

After introducing Mo Ye in front of the servants, the step steward waved his hand and let the servants disperse to eat. When he returned to the dinner table, he mentioned the death of Master Song, and his face was still solemn and dignified when he instructed the servants to pay attention in the future, and suddenly burst into tears.

Elderly people, once they cry and cry, the depth of their feelings and the meaning of grief make it easy for those watching to feel desolate. With the hoarse cry of the step steward, Bai Tao and the other deacon at the same table couldn't stop crying, although they didn't speak.

Mo Ye couldn't help but reddened when he saw this. Maybe it was because she was infected by the love of the Song family's master and servant, or maybe it was because she had recently experienced the pain of parting with her dearest person, so she couldn't stand others mentioning something like this.

Although the step steward called all the servants of the Song family to gather in a hall for dinner, which seemed to be lively, everyone was extremely self-disciplined. Especially the four people at Mo Ye's table, they unconsciously rendered a sad atmosphere, and they ate in a messy mood and tasteless.

After dinner, the steward went to see Ruan Luo. Considering that Ruan Luo's health was not very good, and today was the first day of staying in the Song family, the step manager didn't talk to Ruan Luo for long, so he decided to talk about it another day and said goodbye and left.

Then the gate of the Song Mansion was closed, and several guards inspected the entire mansion again, and then all the lights were extinguished, and the entire mansion was quiet and dark.

Mo Ye lay on her back on the bed, looking at the top of the tent that was plain in texture but washed smoothly and cleanly, she had some difficulty sleeping. It's not because there's anything wrong with the room that Bai Tao has specially arranged for her, but because there are too many and complicated things that happened in a day today.

She should have felt very sleepy, but she only felt that there were several thoughts running in her heart at this time, and these thoughts were like a loose horse, although her eyes were dry, suggesting that it was time to rest, but she could not control the many thoughts beating in her head.

After tossing and turning on the bed a few times, not only was she still not sleepy, but her stomach seemed to be restless again from the bowl of medicinal soup she had drunk.

Mo Ye has been drinking this medicine for several years, and she has never felt so unwell as she does today, but she can probably understand that it may be because she did not follow the doctor's instructions for taking after meals that were recorded in Liao Shi's booklet today-
