Volume 1 Chapter 176 Lowering My Eyebrows and Being Obedient

  Chapter 176 Lowering One's Eyebrows and Casting Down One's Eyes

  A beautiful summer day is not suitable for people with hangovers to appreciate.

  Mozi covered her face with her hands, squinting and fanning herself in front of Xiao Er, feeling a bit dizzy from the sun.

  "Second Master, either have me see you off at the gate or send me back, but saying one sentence is better than being scorched by this big sun, it's so hot that even without a fire, fires are starting."

  Xiao Er gazed at the woman in the green shirt, who seemed to have no regard for anyone. He didn't know whether he should applaud her courage or get angry with her. Didn't she understand her own status? Even if past matters were written off, she was just a maid, how could she speak to him like that?

  "Don't you think this is your boat and can order me to roll off?". Mo Ge was her, she was Mo Ge? No, she just dyed purple. From the moment her master, Qiu San Niang, stepped into Jing Wang Fu, she was no longer a free-spirited businesswoman, but rather Xiao San Niang, guarding the inner courtyard and managing the household. As for her, what else could she do besides fulfilling her duties as a maid?

  Qiu San Niang pretended to be ill and came out, Mo Zi disguised as a man to take charge of Wang Qiulou. Xiao Er understood this, but he would not let the master and servant come again. As a woman, she should stay at home properly. The business outside, even if it was Qiu San Niang's dowry, had nothing to do with her maid. In the past, there was a man named Cen Er who took charge of Wang Qiulou, which was the right way. Her grandmother and mother both had rich dowries, and many people were in charge outside, reporting to the house every month and settling accounts, so there was no need to go out and take care of things personally.

  "He's not worthy of me." As for Xiao Er Lang, he was one of the men she had spent more time with since following Qiu San Niang. He had an absolute northern noble arrogance. When he couldn't outdo her in words, he would use his superior social status to intimidate her. It didn't matter; she could yield and adapt, letting him be the big man.

  "You're really not supposed to, remember your identity. As you said, I kept my promise about the past and won't pursue it again. However, you and your master are now members of the Xiao family, so you must follow the rules of the Xiao family. Things like pretending to be ill and sneaking out privately cannot happen again. You're quite clever, don't you know what's good for your master? If the elders find out, your master's favored position in the manor will be ruined. Don't forget, you and your master are tied together, sharing both loss and honor."

  "Second Master said that after this, I will often persuade Grandma." Lowering his head again and resuming the respectful 15-degree bow, Mozi softly said, "Before Second Master leaves, Mozi will see Second Master out the door."

  Xiao Wei didn't know what was wrong with himself. When Mo Zi lowered his posture so that he couldn't pick out any flaws, he became even more angry in his heart.

  He didn't understand that when he spoke in his own identity, Mozi had already put him and the high-ranking class together with a humble and obedient attitude.

  "You——" Xiao Wei wanted to say something, looking at that obedient head, but couldn't sustain the master's identity. Because he couldn't pick out her faults. She had admitted it so readily, so humbly bowed her head, even her tone was gentle.

  "Second Master, please go ahead and instruct me." At this time, he was glad that his status was very low. In fact, since he was already a servant, it would be best not to rush to the front and become some kind of outstanding servant, neither high nor low, but still having to bow his head and serve those so-called masters.

  Xiao Er, is there anything else you want to say? Not a single word can be said.

  To know that Mozi is good at one thing, to show what kind of attitude to what kind of people, perfect and flawless. You say she's fawning, she says she's adapting to the harsh living environment.

  Xiao Wei's sleeves fluttered as she turned to leave. Unintentionally, the hem of her sleeve brushed against Mozi's face, causing him to pause in surprise. He wanted to ask if she was okay, but seeing that she didn't even flinch or straighten up, pretending nothing had happened, he said nothing more and strode towards the front courtyard. In his ears, her footsteps echoed, neither fast nor slow, neither near nor far. To him, it sounded utterly infuriating.

  In front of the gate, he had a black face and let his good friend Xiao Chen ask what was wrong. He originally wanted to perfunctorily respond, but just as he heard the crisp voice saying "Second Master is leaving", he turned around and still saw the dark head of the servant girl, which made him so angry that he got on his horse and whipped it, not even bothering with Xiao Chen anymore.

  The hoofbeats faded away, and Mozi slowly raised her head, her bright eyes shining, a faint smile on her face, as she turned and walked through the doorway.

  Xiao Chen only felt that Mo Zi's daughter had a noble and elegant air about her, but since he was ordered to guard the outside, he thought she was just one of Tian Da's servants and didn't take it seriously.

  Purple ink went back, but didn't go to Qiu San Niang's place to join in the fun. Instead, she walked around to the other side of the garden and returned to her own room, where she fell asleep with a blanket over her head. There were four big girls there, if they couldn't handle Xiao San Ye, then Qiu San Niang shouldn't come back to the Wang Fu, or else she would be skinned alive.

  She woke up again because someone was talking in her room. At first, they didn't disturb her, but later the murmurs became more frequent. She turned over and assumed she was already awake, using her hand to push them away.

  "Mozhi, something big happened and you ran back to sleep?" Among the four maids, Green Chrysanthemum was the most fond of gossiping.

  "Green Chrysanthemum, something big happened and you came back to disturb my sleep?" To be honest, this was all expected, just didn't think the timing would be so tight.

  Qiao San Niang pretended to be ill for only two days, and then Xiao San caught up with her. Seeing Xiao Er's furious expression, she suspected that it was likely that Xiao Er had discovered that she and Mo Ge were the same person, so he brought his younger brother along to verify, otherwise this Second Master couldn't have come alone. It's really unknown how she let him see through her disguise? They hadn't met in the mansion, only outside - at Wang Qiu Lou perhaps. Now she was a plain-faced runner, and the probability of being seen by him wasn't low.

  Opened her eyes to see Green Chrysanthemum with her hands on her hips, a look that said she wouldn't rest until she got out of bed. So she got up, splashed some cold water on her face, and pulled on her long shirt.

  "Since you can run here, things should be settled." She walked outside to check the sun, it was noon. "I'll go out for a while, help me tell grandma that I'll be back after dinner."

  Green Chrysanthemum hastily pulled her back into the house, stuck her head out to take a look, and then closed the door. "My dear aunt, things have come to this, how dare you still try to run outside?"

  "What's going on?" In her opinion, Xiao Er wouldn't go so far as to expose Qian San Niang with Xiao San, so for Xiao San, it was just a matter of pretending to be ill and leaving the mansion, at most stirring up trouble with Jin Si Que's mother.

  Lu Jing immediately told her about what happened after she left.

  This girl likes to make a big fuss over nothing and loves to complicate simple things. She greatly exaggerates the facts, and here's what really happened:

  Xiao San asked Qiu San Niang why she was pretending to be ill.

  Qiu San Niang said that if she didn't pretend to be ill, someone would continue to harm her. She also asked Xiao Yi to take out the medicine package and give some to Xiao San, telling him to go ask in the pharmacy himself.

  Xiao San was a bit angry and asked Qiu San Niang why she didn't tell him about it earlier.

  Qiu San Niang said that in such a situation, even if there were witnesses and evidence, at most they would just point out some bird's godmother, and if things went wrong, she herself might be counter-accused of framing someone with a clever trick. She couldn't afford to provoke them and had to pretend to have taken the opponent's poisonous medicine, coming out to avoid disaster.

  Xiao San not only took physical evidence but also listened to witness testimony and said he wanted to go back and ask Jin Si.

  Qiu Sanniang had the maids block his way, saying that he was too direct and the other party would not admit it. It's not worth sacrificing her own mother-in-law just to vent her anger, and in the future, she would only harbor more resentment towards herself.

  Qiu San Niang finally said that she didn't want to pursue this matter, so she would pretend to be ill and stay here for a month or two before returning to the mansion. By then, he would have cooled down and distanced himself from her, and that woman wouldn't dare bother her again. If he thought she was being manipulative and framing Jin Si on purpose, it didn't matter. In any case, she wasn't going back to the mansion. If he had the guts, he could write a divorce letter and send her away.

  Green Chrysanthemum said, at that time, the uncle's face turned red with anger, pointing at his grandmother and saying she was unreasonable. He had never suspected her of being deceitful and framing others, so how could it be said that a divorce letter was sent to the door?

  Xiao San said that previously, he had forgiven two of them. The reason for his partiality towards Jin Si was not because of the rumors spread within or outside the mansion, but because his first wife had treated Jin Si and her child too harshly, so he had taken Jin Si's side. He was not blind to the truth, it was just that others only knew one side of the story and didn't know the other, thinking that someone from a noble family or who seemed weak would not resort to underhanded tactics.

  Green Chrysanthemum also said that Master Gugu usually only loves to write and read, at most showing a bit of temper, but because Nainai wanted to rest, he was enraged, and actually pushed open the door, pulling Nainai into the house, saying he wanted to talk alone, not letting anyone in. After a while, the two came out again, Master Gugu told Hongmei to go back to the mansion to fetch his things, saying that as long as San Niang lived here, he would live here too. Hongmei and Baihe advised against it, saying that this way, Old Madame and Wangfei would definitely not allow it. But Master Gugu wouldn't listen. Nainai was also completely helpless.

  In summary.

  Xiao San's cunning tricks.

  "Hongmei returned to the mansion before and whispered to us, telling us to be careful, in case Old Lady and Princess Wang come knocking on our door themselves. But now, it's been a whole morning and she still hasn't returned. Baihe is getting anxious, not seeing you anywhere, so I came looking for you. Who would have thought that you were sleeping so soundly, good job making us worry. And you still want to go out? Don't even think about it. Hurry up and follow me." Just as Baihe said, without Mozi, this big matter is unsettling. Lüjing has made up her mind, wanting Mozi to take charge.

  Mozi refused. These days, one unexpected thing after another, and because she was injured for half a month, the shipyard had already started building houses, but there were no workers, and no business orders. The one-year deadline was approaching, and she would have to delay again, this lifetime would be spent working hard for Qiu San Niang.

  "Green Chrysanthemum, go back and tell White Lotus that if anything happens at the Wang Manor, Master will naturally take care of it." If Xiao San doesn't have this ability, then let Qiu San Niang step down.

  Green Chrysanthemum tilted her head, she had simple thoughts and naturally couldn't understand. "Mozhi, you're lazy now."

  It's not laziness, but wildness. When Qi San Niang gave her the position of authority and sent her to the Bamboo Forest Villa, it was like giving her a pair of wings. If she doesn't fly for a day, she feels suffocated.

  "Good Green Chrysanthemum, I really have something important to discuss, it's about our grandmother's ancestral business, this is more urgent than dealing with the Wang family. Think about it, if grandma really gets the divorce papers, we'll have another source of wealth and won't be afraid of being single." Mozi knew Green Chrysanthemum was timid, so she intentionally spoke in a serious tone.

  Lu Jing listened and snorted twice, "Mo Zi, don't say such things. Our grandma is not worse than anyone else, why should she be the one to take the blame? If someone has to take the blame, it's that golden canary. You're taking Grandma's life, I won't move, go tell Bai He about it."

  Canary is a concubine, not a wife, and has no right to take leave. Mozi feared that if she continued like this, it would never end, so she just smiled.

  Green chrysanthemum small waist a twist, arrived at the door suddenly turned back face, to Mozi stuck out tongue, giggling and walked away.

  Cute and innocent little girl.
