Chapter 223: Filial Piety (7)
Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, it is already the season of spring and the recovery of all things.
The bamboo house Mashan that Ling Xiaoqi helped build is about to be completed, and Mu Lingshu no longer has to live under the eaves of others.
As Ling Xiaoqi settled on the last bamboo, Mu Lingshu's new home was officially completed.
"Xiao Qi, thank you, this house is so beautiful, you don't have to say anything about your craftsmanship." Mu Lingshu admired sincerely.
Twenty centimeters above the ground, the whole house is held up with bamboo, which prevents dampness to a certain extent. Three bamboo houses are located side by side. The one in the middle is a living room reserved for guests to rest when they are tired. The one on the right is Bai's bedroom, and the one on the left is Mu Lingshu's boudoir.
On the side of the boudoir is a separate kitchen, which does not border anything else, and even the surrounding weeds have been cleaned up to form a natural fire ring, and there is no longer a place to live if the kitchen burns down.
Directly opposite the kitchen is also a room for storing things, and the entire perimeter is fenced off, and Mu Lingshu's new home is completed.
"It's really beautiful, so much better than the thatched hut before." Bai Shi also nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's clean up first, and when the Kang abacus is ready, we can go and buy some things."
The Kang family was the one who lent a helping hand to their mother and daughter when they had nowhere to go, and the Kang family were all servants of the Mu Mansion, but they risked being punished by Su Mei to help them.
Mu Lingshu didn't say anything, but she was very grateful to them in her heart. Because Kang Bo is the housekeeper of Mu Mansion and Aunt Kang is a cook, they can't come out at any time, but fortunately, their son Kang Qing is in the store, so he can be freer.
Kang Qingqing is good because of his abacus, so everyone calls him Kang Abacus, he is a careful budgeter, and he takes the initiative to help Mu Lingshu procure.
Although Mu Lingshu felt that she could do this by herself, she didn't want to discourage his enthusiasm, so she agreed.
"Su Mei, what are you doing here?" Mu Lingshu heard her mother's voice and ran out of the house.
"Our family Lingshu is capable, capable, and has the ability to build such a good bamboo house in such a short time, look at the workmanship, tsk, I don't have to say. The newly renovated house of Zhang Yuanwai's family can't compare with this. Su Mei came uninvited, commenting on Mu Lingshu's home, and there was sarcasm in her words.
Last month, Zhang Yuanwai's house was going to be renovated, and Ling Xiaoqi was invited to work, but because he wanted to settle down for Lingshu, he refused.
Su Mei's implication is what kind of relationship Mu Lingshu has with Ling Xiaoqi, so that he can make money to repair her house without earning.
"If Aunt Su likes it, I can exchange it with you."
"Alas, I can't live in this, I can't live in it, this is built for you." The smile in Su Mei's eyes deepened.
"If Aunt Su hadn't fallen in love with my bamboo house, I wouldn't have been able to get into Aunt Su's eyes anymore, what kind of wind blew Aunt Sun here."
Mu Lingshu looked at Su Mei vigilantly, this woman didn't have much trouble for her, and she knew that it was not a good stubble.
Otherwise, a person who has never appeared in the Mu family, with just a piece of jade pendant, can bring a newborn baby into the Mu family and inherit the property of the Mu family, which is by no means something ordinary can do.
In the past few months, Mu Lingshu has lived in Ling Xiaoqi's place, but she has listened to gossip and been pointed at by others, all of which have nothing to do with Su Mei, a woman.
Although it is shameful for a woman to live in a man's house casually in this era, Mu Lingshu rarely goes out, let alone anyone who has seen her, but in a very short period of time, their mother and daughter identities are well known to the people around them.
All kinds of "accidents" and "obstacles" never stop, and what almost fell into the trap of hunters, was followed by people, met thieves, and kept encountering thieves, and so on.
Mu Lingshu also found some clues from it, and there was Su Mei's shadow behind her, but unfortunately she never appeared on the front, and there was no evidence to prove what role she played in it, but that didn't mean she didn't do it.
Today was their first head-to-head confrontation.
"What you said is out of sight, I'm your aunt, how can I not come to congratulate you on your housewarming today." Su Mei gave a look to the maid beside her with a smile on her face, and the maid immediately handed a gift wrapped in red paper to Mu Lingshu.
She will be kind enough to congratulate me, I don't know what is bad in my heart, the weasel gives the chicken a New Year's greeting, and she is not good.
Mu Lingshu didn't accept it, and the handmaid's hand stopped in the air didn't accept it, and it didn't accept it.
"There is a barren place behind me, and there is nothing in the bamboo house, there is really nothing to congratulate, I don't know what kind of joy Aunt Su is celebrating."
"It's a good thing for you, so take it and think it's me adding something to your new house." Su Mei's eyes couldn't hide the ridicule, disdain and many other complex and unclear meanings.
"Aunt Su's move, it must be worth a lot of money, I can't afford this bamboo house in the mountains, if it is remembered by some villains, it will not be good for Aunt Su to waste her thoughts, Aunt Su should please go back."
Su Mei's hands in her sleeves were clenched, and she took a deep breath and revealed a seemingly natural smirk.
"It's all worthless gadgets, this is also a kindness of me as an elder, you don't have to shirk it, Xin'er hurry up and give the things to the eldest lady."
"Miss." Xin'er stretched out the thing in her hand in front of Mu Lingshu again.
"Since it's a worthless gadget, let's leave it to my brother to play with, the last thing I lack here is worthless things."
"You"
Mu Lingshu and Su Mei looked at each other.
I don't dare to accept the valuable, the worthless is not rare, I just don't want to accept it inside and out, and it's your blessing that I can give you something.
Such a good blessing should be kept by Aunt Su herself.
Su Mei took a step back, and Mu Lingshu had no expression on her face as if nothing had happened.
"What the elders gave you, how can you refuse as a junior."
"Elder" Mu Lingshu sneered disdainfully in her heart.
She is not the person who is stupid and filial, let alone what is she if she wants to be foolish.
Let's just say that the identity of this Aunt Su is true or false still needs to be verified, casually take a piece of her father's jade pendant and say that she is a concubine, and casually bring a child and say that it is her younger brother, and it is so timely, if you want to say that there is no premeditation, who believes it
That is, the patriarchal grandmother, who has always wanted to hug her grandson to believe Su Mei's nonsense.
The sudden death of a person who does not get sick all the year round and has a strong physique without warning is already strange.
The jade pendant may be picked up, imitated, or mortgaged in case of trouble, which does not mean that it is a thing of love.
Father Mu was in love with the Bai family before his death, and he never heard him mention Su Mei or wanted to take a concubine, how could he have an extra son for nothing, maybe who this younger brother's biological father is
