It wasn't until the chief steward of the Song family said that Mo Ye knew that Bai Tao's status in the Song family was not just as simple as 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, and his intention was never to be achieved.

The step steward has the right to know most of the affairs of the Song family, and there are not many things that can actually be operated, so he can only do his best, and after the death of Master Song, he will try his best to let Bai Tao live a more peaceful life. As for this wish of Master Song before his death, the step steward was also ready to wait for the days to be more free, so he told Ruan Luo, the future master of the Song family, to ask him to decide.

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, meet with Ruan Luo again, and roughly hand over the general outline of the Song family's property. 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.

There is a chief steward presiding. The impression of all the servants on 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.

Older people, once wept and cried. The depth of love and grief make it easy for people watching from the side 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 infected by the love of the Song family's master and servant. Or maybe it's because she's only recently experienced the pain of saying goodbye to her dearest person, and she can't afford to be mentioned by others about 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 the table of Mo Ye, they unconsciously rendered a sad atmosphere. The food is also messy 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. Several of the guards inspected the entire house again, and then all the lights were turned off, and the whole house fell silent.

Mo Ye lay on his back on the bed. Looking at the roof of the tent, which 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 mind at this time, and these thoughts were like loose horses. Although her eyes were glazed, it was time for her to rest. But he couldn't control the many thoughts beating in his 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 to take it after meals that were recorded in Liao Shi's booklet today.

Thinking that he only needed the last bowl of medicine, he didn't need to take it anymore, and Mo Ye didn't worry too much about whether this discomfort was harmful. But her stomach was churning, and lying down again would only make her more uncomfortable, so she had to get up and walk slowly around the house.

Tonight's moonlight should be brighter than the night before yesterday when Wu Shu took her to steal the book, but tonight's sky suddenly rose clouds, the bright moon was covered behind the clouds, and no matter how bright the moonlight was, it couldn't break through the clouds at all, and the night gradually became deeper, as if frozen.

Mo Ye just wanted to take out the book of "Qianzhao Sutra" hidden in his arms to familiarize himself with it, and make a preliminary experience, in such a cloudy night scene, it was also impossible.

Groping to the window, Mo Ye hesitated to open the window. She felt that it seemed that because there was no moonlight, the air in the room had become a little stuffy. But in such a deep night, the courtyard outside the house was so empty that it seemed to be a big black and bottomless hole, and she felt a little afraid.

After hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help but let out a long breath.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the window.

"Leaves."

Immersed in the darkness of the room, the changes in the expression on Mo Ye's face became blurry and indistinguishable, but her even breathing suddenly burst into a bundle, which was clearly audible in the extremely quiet environment.

Mo Ye was startled at first, and she soon heard the familiarity in that voice, and a trace of surprise and joy rose in her heart.

"Don't be afraid, it's me, Wu Shu."

Mo Ye nodded hurriedly, and in an instant, she realized that no matter how much she nodded at this time, she was also invisible to Wu Shu, who was blocked by the window, so she hurriedly reached out to push the window.

The window was only halfway open when she suddenly felt a strong wind rush in, and then there was a force around her waist, and she flew up, and when she fell, her buttocks were soft, and then the surroundings lit up.

She flickered before she found herself sitting back on the bed, where the curtain had been unclasped and hung down, covering the light, and the whole tent seemed to become a large lantern, and she herself had become a wick.

In fact, what is more like a wick should be Wu Shu sitting opposite her.

Inside the house, on the roof, on the street, by the sea, in the wreckage, in the palace...... Wu Shu has taken Mo Ye to many places, but meeting Wu Shu in an environment like today is the first time, and it is still a little embarrassing.

In fact, Mo Ye knew that Wu Shu would not be that kind of person, but her subconscious precaution suddenly burst out, which still made her bite her lip and lower her head.

However, she quickly raised her head again and stared at Wu Shu with puzzled eyes, because she realized with some hindsight that Wu Shu had covered his face with a black cloth again today—and since Mo Ye ripped off his mask that night, he had not been so deliberately disguised in front of her.

Therefore, after Mo Ye stared at Wu Shu for a while, he immediately reached out to pull it again.

Although he didn't know why, Wu Shu instinctively wanted to dodge. However, he only moved slightly, and suddenly realized that he was in the tent, and that he still had a fiery fire fold in his hand. After a moment's pause, the black cloth on his face was torn off by Mo Ye's second grab.

Wu Shu, who is accustomed to walking in the dark, still has eyes as bright as stars, and still shows a trace of keenness. However, after the black cloth was torn off, Mo Ye, who was already suspicious, stared at his face, and it was easy to notice that his lips were a little pale and chapped, which was very different from when he left early yesterday morning.

Mo Ye's brows gradually furrowed.

It is not difficult to imagine that after Wu Shu returns early in the morning, he will definitely be punished. But what is the content of this punishment, looking at Wu Shu, who was a little haggard in front of her, she didn't dare to imagine.

But before she could speak, she heard Wu Shu say in a suppressed voice: "I heard that Cheng Xu sent the medicine before she passed, I am a little worried about you, so I will come and see." ”

Seeing that Wu Shu didn't mention himself at all, but kept remembering her, Mo Ye couldn't help but have a slightly sour nose, choked his throat and suppressed his voice: "I'm okay." ”

Wu Shu shook his head and said softly: "I was careless, I didn't tell Cheng Xu, you must take the medicine after eating, otherwise it will damage the stomach and intestines." ”

He took out a small paper bag from his arms and handed it over, and said: "I asked for the medicine candy from Doctor Ye, I eat this if I feel uncomfortable taking the medicine, he has given it to many children, and there has been no problem." ”

In fact, a secret agent like Wu Shu, who has received special training, should not be so prone to mistakes such as 'carelessness'. The reason why Wu Shu was "careless" was because he was lying in bed in a semi-coma for most of the day today, and he didn't have time to tell Cheng Xu.

After returning early in the morning, the order of punishment soon came down. This was what Wu Shu expected, but to his surprise, it was actually the Lord Commander who personally carried out the punishment. This situation also took the rest of the group by surprise.

But an accident is an accident, Wu Shu is willing to be punished in his heart, even if he eats thirty boards, he is directly knocked out by the commander, he has no intention of blaming anyone, only blaming himself for his limited cultivation.

He didn't know that as the powerful commander of the Kyoto garrison, the reason why Li Gai wanted to personally beat a small subordinate was because early in the morning at the gate of Ye Mansion, Ye Zhengming's words to Cheng Xu had an effect.
