Mo Huawen opened his eyes and looked at the woman who was holding the tray. He was startled for a moment, and his eyes moved from her to the tray she was holding. There was a bowl of light white porridge, a plate of cold cucumbers, and a plate of vinegar. Chicken, all his favorite dishes, turned his attention from the dishes to Mo Xuetong's face, feeling an inexplicable sadness.
Tong'er and Luo Xia looked really alike, especially the way they were holding the tray. Now that I think about it, I realize how deeply the missing woman has been engraved in my heart. If that gentle woman is still there, she will definitely do it herself. Go to the kitchen and prepare breakfast like this for yourself!
"Tong'er, why are you here? Father is fine, he just can't eat." Hiding the thoughts in his eyes, Mo Huawen put down his hand and asked with a smile.
"How can father not come if he doesn't want to eat Tong'er? How about he try the food cooked by Tong'er?" Mo Xuetong stepped forward with a smile, untied the copywriting in front of Mo Hua's tattoo, and took the porridge in his hand. After coming down, he put the chopsticks into Mo Huawen's hands again and said coquettishly.
"Did Tong'er cook these dishes?" Mo Huawen didn't refuse. He took the chopsticks and stretched out his hand to touch Mo Xuetong lovingly. When did his Tong'er really grow up and become sensible.
"Yes, father, try it quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold." Mo Xuetong greeted with a smile, pulled up a chair and sat across from Mo Huawen, holding his chin with both hands, and said nonchalantly: "Tong'er Just watch my father eat here, so as to save my father’s servants from complaining to Tong’er later.”
"What are you complaining about?" Seeing his flowery daughter smiling cutely, Mo Huawen's heart relaxed and he asked with a smile after taking a sip of porridge.
"Complaining that there is another breakfast that no one eats, and he has to deal with it. How troublesome! He has to say to everyone that the food cooked by the third lady is unpalatable, which makes the master unable to eat anything!" Mo Xuetong muttered. He opened his mouth, glanced sideways at Mo Huawen, and said coquettishly!
This statement really made Mo Huawen startled. He laughed after being stunned for a moment. He took several sips of the porridge and ate a few slices of cucumber and vegetarian chicken: "What about the porridge cooked by Tong'er?" It won’t taste good, this is the best porridge my father has ever eaten.”
"Really?" Mo Xuetong looked at him sideways in disbelief. He looked so cute, and Mo Huawen was in a good mood.
"Of course it's true. In the eyes of father, Tong'er's food is naturally the most palatable." Mo Huawen was full of love. At this time, he simply drank the porridge, saying that the porridge and vegetables were really to his liking. He looked at the mixture. Looking at the crisp and sweet cucumbers, his eyes darkened, and he suddenly slowed down his movements and asked, "When did Tong'er know how to make such porridge?"
At least when he left Yuncheng, Tong'er was still a young lady who couldn't do anything!
"In the past, my mother always made these two dishes that my father liked to eat. Later, my mother became ill and didn't have the energy to make them. Later, Tong'er was alone in Yuncheng. When she missed her father and mother, she secretly made them at night. When I come to eat alone, I feel as if my father and mother are by my side every time." Mo Xuetong lowered her head, her voice a little choked, or she felt something, she sniffed, raised her face and smiled as brightly as a flower, "Just Just like now, watching her father eat the porridge made by Tong'er, Tong'er is very happy and not sad at all."
She said she wasn't sad, but the wetness in the corners of her eyes expressed the pain of longing for her!
Mo Huawen's heart trembled, and he felt his heart hurt. He was holding the bowl in his hand, and veins appeared on his hands. How could he lose his well-behaved and sensible daughter to someone who might be vicious and deadly! He did something that forced his mother and maid to death! What happened back then must have been caused by someone secretly misleading me, making me mistakenly think that Tong'er was responsible.
"Tong'er, be good. From now on, father will never leave Tong'er aside alone." Putting down the bowl, suppressing the deep suspicion in his heart, Mo Huawen comforted her softly.
"I know that my father loves Tong'er the most." He wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, raised his bright and innocent smile, pursed his lips, stood up and walked to Mo Huawen, pulled his robe and said coquettishly: "Father I promised Tong'er that day to send Tong'er to my grandfather's house, so I can't break my promise."
"Okay, okay, next time you go to my grandfather's house, my father will definitely send you there." Mo Huawen's heart softened, and he stretched out his hand to touch her head and said, feeling that even if she wanted the moon in the sky, she would not be able to do it. Will pick it for her.
The two of them were talking. Mo Huawen drank most of the bowl of porridge. As soon as he put it down, a boy ran in and reported: "Master, a boy escaped from the back door."
"When did you run away?" Mo Huawen was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly, his face suddenly turned ugly.
"It was early in the morning. I heard that two women were quarreling over a trivial matter. No one noticed that there was a man walking out of the mansion. It was a steward in the mansion who had something to go out. I saw him sneaking out. It just happened." The boy replied.
"Where are the people?"
"I heard from the stewards that by the time the people gathered together and chased him outside, he would have disappeared."
"Chase, send someone to catch me back." Mo Huawen took a deep breath and said angrily, "The young man ran away. This has never happened before. The person in charge in the house now is not Aunt Fang or Qing. Aunt Mo is gentle and soft." , it is impossible to force the slaves away, and something like this happened in the house last night. I was preparing to seal it this morning, but I didn't expect that someone had already escaped. Why didn't Mo Huawen think too much about this
"Father..." Mo Xuetong looked at him blankly with her beautiful eyes open, as if she was frightened and ignorant.
"Tong'er, please go back to the courtyard first. Father has something to deal with." Mo Huawen didn't want to say anything more now. What happened to Mo Xuemin in the palace yesterday must not be known to anyone. Although not many people knew about it last night, But it was early in the morning, and I didn't get up. There were many servants in the house, so it wasn't too difficult to find out.
If someone spreads something outside, Mo Xuemin's reputation will not be saved.
Although Mo Huawen was angry with his eldest daughter, he didn't want her to spend her whole life in poverty.
"Father, my daughter will leave first." Mo Xuetong turned around and asked Mo Yu to pack the dishes and leave the study.
Mo Huawen rushed around in the study room. After walking in circles a few times, he stopped in front of the boy and asked, "Is the boy who escaped having anything to do with the eldest lady?"
If not, it would be impossible to escape at this time. If the escaped slave is caught, he will be tortured. If he dares to risk a big violation and escape, something big must have happened. The only thing that happened yesterday was Mo Xuemin.
"Um, I'm a little close to Miss Mo Jin who is next to the eldest lady!" The boy was also sweating profusely, but he had to say that although there was no basis for this matter, he said so in private, and Indeed, I have heard people say several times that the situation between two people is ambiguous, and there is quite a bit of flirting between them.
"Mo Jin? Is that the maid who didn't come back this time?" Mo Huawen also thought of the maid next to Mo Xuemin and stamped his feet angrily. What kind of inner courtyard does Aunt Fang care about? The maid next to his daughter He didn't even know whether he was colluding with others or committing adultery. At this time, Mo Huawen hated Aunt Fang so much that he gritted his teeth.
"Sir, right?" the boy replied timidly.
"Chase, chase me immediately, catch the twenty taels of silver that caught the escaped slave, and kill fifteen taels." Mo Huawen's eyes flashed with a stern look, knowing that he must not be soft-hearted at this time.
As it relates to Mo Jin, this matter must not go well. Mo Jin didn't come back last night. Mo Xuemin only said that Mo Jin betrayed his master and died, and didn't say much else. At that time, he was only angry about Mo Xuemin's affairs, but he didn't say anything else. I thought about asking, and then I realized that the maid also had her own parents to tell.
"Yes, sir." Knowing that the matter was urgent, the boy got up and hurried out.
Lihuayuan
Aunt Fang smashed several pieces of expensive porcelain on the floor with a livid look on her face. She was about to rush out of the courtyard in a hurry, but was hugged tightly by Nanny Li.

"Auntie, you can't go. If you go out and make such a fuss again, the eldest lady's reputation will really be ruined."
"No, something like this happened to Min'er. I have to go and see her no matter what, and ask the master what to do. That bitch actually has someone in secret. She should be arrested as well." Aunt Fang glared. , but he also knew the importance and didn't dare to rush out, he just said bitterly.
"Auntie, I will definitely help the eldest lady. The eldest lady is my favorite, how could I let her make the slightest mistake?" Aunt Li continued to persuade, but she felt secretly in her heart. In the past, the eldest lady was indeed the master's. He is a pet peeve, but since the third lady came, the most favored person in this house is not the eldest lady, but the third lady.
But it's not enough if I don't advise her like this now. If Aunt Fang really causes something, she will be blamed in the end.
"What on earth was Min'er thinking this time? Why did she have anything to do with the palace, and why did she disgust the Queen? She told her not to act in vain, and to wait until the Yu family came to Beijing to talk about anything, but she couldn't wait any longer. I went to provoke the King of Chu, but now I am fine, even my reputation will be ruined." Aunt Fang looked like she could not be strong.
Last night, she was dragged away by Mo Huawen, and she knelt on the ground with Mo Xuemin. She was scolded horrendously. She also heard what Mo Huawen told the eunuch, so she knew what was going on, and she was so anxious that her mouth blistered. At this time, I was shocked again, and I felt like I was in a state of panic.
"Auntie, don't worry, the Yu family has arrived in Beijing in the past two days. Auntie can ask my uncle to deal with it. Besides, auntie's sister is also here, so she can help auntie with advice. One person is short-sighted, and two people are wise. It would be better for my aunt to ask them to help me come up with ideas when the time comes, than for my aunt to be locked up in Lihua Garden and unable to get out, so she is in a hurry."
"When will they arrive?" Aunt Fang calmed down a little.
"I heard that it's still two days away from here at most. We should arrive within these two days, and we came with the Qin family. The strength of the two of them is higher than the master. When the time comes, the master will definitely be forced to let my aunt go. , with Auntie's cleverness, things might turn around." Nanny Li came up with an idea.
"You go out in a moment and go see the eldest lady. I'm afraid that Min'er won't be able to handle what happened this time. If there is anything, tell me immediately." Aunt Fang calmed down but was still worried.
Aunt Li responded and went to Fuqingyuan to see the situation.
Facts have proved that Mo Huawen sent someone out late after all. In less than a morning, there were already rumors outside that Miss Mo's shameless seduction of the King of Chu was spreading. It was as if Miss Mo had an affair with the King of Chu. At that time, as if they were just aside, some good people dug deeper again and found out that the eldest lady had a private meeting with the prince of Zhenguo Duke's family at Bao'en Temple last time.
This is more accurate. Someone else proved that the little maid who delivered the sachet died in the house the next day. She said she hanged herself, but who believed it
It was already noon when Mo Xuemin got this information. When Mo Xiu said it, her whole body became cold. She ran to the door of the courtyard, but stood there in a daze for a long time, feeling a chill all over her body and to her heart.
Mo Xiu was afraid that she would be injured, so he walked over and said softly: "Miss, let's go back and rest first, and I will help you decide."
After saying that, I went to help her, only to find that her whole body was hot. In panic, I touched her hand, and it turned out to be ice cold! (To be continued)
