However, Mo Jisheng had already made up his mind to leave. No matter how hard Xie Shengli tried to persuade him to stay, he refused. In the end, Xie Shengli had no choice but to ask the accountant to pay him one hundred taels of silver, which was considered as the end of the master-servant friendship.
Xie Ruzhuo held the chopsticks but frowned deeply. She said why she felt a sense of crisis when she saw this person, it was because this person had harmed the Xie family in her previous life!
In the previous life, after the Xie family resigned, he turned around and joined the Shen family, and was highly regarded. But it didn't take long for rumors to spread. It was said that Mo Jisheng was treated harshly in the Xie family, and his talents were suppressed everywhere. Mo Jisheng finally couldn't bear it anymore and left the Xie family and joined someone else's family.
For this reason, Mo Jisheng stopped Xie Shengli's sedan chair to go down to court and explained the matter specifically. However, instead of clearing the Xie family, it only made it darker and darker. Mo Jisheng was praised for his virtuous character, but the Xie family was once again splashed with dirty water!
That's fine, but since then, the reputation of the Xie family has been declining. Coupled with his own affairs later, it made the emperor even more displeased. These negative events are like straws. Even if they are as light as a feather to the Xie family at first, one day, the power of this last straw will be like the weight of Mount Tai, causing the Xie family to suffer disaster!
"Grandma, Zhuo'er remembered that he had something to do, so I'm going to go out first." After Xie Ruzhuo thought of this, he immediately stood up, bowed to Ji, and was about to go out.
Seeing her panic, Ji didn't stop her, waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, just go slower on the road."
Xie Ruzhuo responded, he was already far away.
Mo Jisheng was so anxious to leave that he didn't even take the one hundred taels of silver that the cashier had withdrawn. He pretended to have forgotten about it, but Xie Ruzhuo did not. After going to the accounting office to withdraw the money, Xie Ruzhuo ran all the way to chase Mo Jisheng.
Qianbi trotted behind her, panting and saying, "Miss, please slow down."
When the two of them caught up with Mo Jisheng, they saw that one of his feet had just stepped out of the Xie family's door.
"Mr. Mo, please stay." The girl's clear voice successfully stopped Mo Jisheng. He looked back in surprise, only to see the fourth Miss Xie family calling him anxiously, holding up her skirt.
Mo Jisheng was originally ready to leave, but when he thought of the fourth young lady's unruly and willful character, he immediately changed his mind. If he could make this young lady's reputation worse, he would definitely be happier, right
Mo Jisheng didn't know that it was his decision that made him unable to get ahead from then on.
"Miss Fourth, what do you want from me?" Mo Jisheng turned around and smiled slightly, still looking like a humble man on his face.
It was now morning, Xie's Mansion was already in a bustling location, and now there were more and more people on the street in front of him. But what Xie Ruzhuo wants is this effect. The more people there are, the more intimidating her words will be. Seeing that Mo Jisheng was pretending to be humble, Xie Ruzhuo also put on a sincere look and said, "Mr. Mo, Zhuoer just heard what you said to your grandfather, but I just want to confirm with you again that you really want to leave. What?"
Mo Jisheng didn't expect that she would say such words. He was surprised for a moment and then said, "Yes, I'm really sorry."
There were passers-by around. After hearing this sentence, they all stopped and pointed out, "Is this man stupid? The Xie family has such a good family background. If he can work in it, he will definitely have enough food and clothing." He actually left?"
There are also people who only care about the beautiful girl, "Hey, is that Miss Xie Fourth? I heard that she is quite unruly. This person is so lucky. Can't he stand the Xie family?"
Xie Ruzhuo ignored the comments of the people around him and only took a step forward and said sincerely, "Mr. Mo has been in the Xie family for so many years and has made great achievements. Grandpa also values you very much. Now that you are gone, I am afraid that the old man will feel sorry for him for a long time." .”
As soon as she slapped her hat on, Mo Jisheng didn't know what to say. He just said, "I am very grateful for the appreciation of the old man. It's just that Ji has already decided to leave. I really can't live up to my employer." Mo Jisheng grew up. He is very polite and has a Confucian scholar-like tone when speaking. His attitude at this moment made some people more and more sure of their thoughts. This person must have been wronged, otherwise why would he have to leave
Xie Ruzhuo sighed and said, "Mr. Mo, it seems that you have made up your mind to leave after careful consideration. Since you have a better place to go, our Xie family can't hinder your future. This is what Grandpa asked the accountant to do. The one hundred taels of silver you gave me has no merit but hard work in the Xie family. The Xie family cannot treat you badly." As she said that, she handed the envelope of silver to Qian Bi and motioned for the latter to give it to Mo Jisheng.
Qianbi naturally understood what Xie Ruzhuo meant. Although she was careless, she was not stupid. She walked up to Mo Jisheng with a crooked eyebrow, presented the money and said, "Mo Guanshi, you have been very kind to me these years." Zhaofu, everyone in our house is not ignorant, and they will not hinder your bright future. If we meet in other places in the future, I will definitely respect you."
The two masters and servants all had good attitudes, but Mo Jisheng was a little embarrassed for a moment, so he had to wave his hands and said, "I really don't have a better place to go. It's just that I'm not in good health and I've been working hard, so I just want to go home and rest." As for this money, please forgive me for not being rewarded for having no merit, and please take it back with me, Miss."
"Oh? That's it. Hey, that gentleman has to accept the money even more. After all, it costs money to treat the disease if you are not in good health. Don't worry, Mr. Mo, you can take good care of yourself. When you get better, you can Go back to the Xie family. Your management position will be reserved for you by our Xie family." Xie Ruzhuo looked like he suddenly realized something, thought about it for a while, and said solemnly.
Just kidding, if he keeps it, then if he goes to the Shen family again, wouldn't it be clear that he has betrayed his master
"Miss, thank you very much for your kindness. It's just that Mo didn't bother the master with so much trouble. If we say goodbye today, I'm afraid there will be no fate between master and servant in this life." Mo Jisheng shook his head, and the gentle look on his face could no longer be maintained. .
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo suddenly felt a little "sad" and asked Qianbi to take the money back and said, "Hey, sir, what should I do if you call me like this? I won't accept the money, and I don't want to keep the seat. It's five taels of silver per month." You are not willing to stay in Yuelu. It seems that there is a better place to go. That's all, even so, I would like to wish Mr. Xie a bright future and an open mind."
When Xie Ruzhuo spoke, his eyes were full of sincerity, but Mo Jisheng was choked and speechless. It wasn't until that frail body turned around and entered the gate of Xie's Mansion that he came back to his senses, no! This was completely different from what he expected!
And the people watching around also came to their senses at this time, "Guiguai, five taels per month is enough for a diligent and thrifty person for half a year!" Looking at the master's house again, he knew that this slave had a new wife and even gave him a hundred taels of silver. How could such a benevolent and righteous house meet such a shameless and evil slave
Hearing the onlookers talking, Mo Jisheng could no longer pretend and left the Xie family in despair.
Little did he know that Xie Ruzhuo was standing in the concierge at this time, listening to the movement outside, and slowly sneered.
Now that Mo Jisheng is gone, no matter whether he will be reused by the Shen family or not, he will never be able to throw dirty water on the Xie family again in this life!
Sure enough, on the next day, this incident became a topic of conversation among everyone in the teahouse. Even the storyteller made a short paragraph about it, saying, "Those who have high moral standing and respect the Xie family, but those who are treacherous are those who have betrayed Mo Jisheng."
When Xie Huainan came back and told this joke to Xie Ruzhuo, he couldn't help but laugh, "Sister, do you know that now the streets and alleys are praising you for being virtuous and gentle, saying that you can deal with such an evil slave?" With Xiao's reasoning, it can be seen that the Xie family is worthy of being a century-old family, and the legitimate daughter they raised upholds the style of the family."
Xie Ruzhuo hugged Xie Huailin, fed the peeled fruit in his hand to his mouth, and then said, "Does brother think what they said is right?"
Hearing this, Xie Huainan smiled narrowly and said, "My Zhuo'er is naturally good."
"What you say doesn't mean what you mean." Xie Ruzhuo said with a smile, "Even you can say nice things to make me happy. It shows that men all over the world are the same. They are used to sweet words, but they dare not speak frankly about what is on their mind."
Xie Huainan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You are such a naughty little girl, you have only met a few men, how dare you say that."
However, Xie Huailin, who was in Xie Ruzhuo's arms, understood what he said, and immediately held Xie Ruzhuo's arm and said, "Fourth sister, Yong'an means what he says!"
"Well, you are indeed like this when you eat." Xie Ruzhuo nodded his forehead, stopped his hand from picking up the fruit, and said, "I have eaten enough today, and I should hold on to it if I eat anymore." , don’t eat it.”
When Xie Huailin heard the bad news, he immediately curled his mouth in aggrieved manner with a pitiful look on his face. However, Xie Ruzhuo had long been immune to his expression, and now he called the wet nurse to take him back for a nap.
Xie Huailin immediately hugged Xie Ruzhuo's body and said with a sweet voice, "No, I want to sleep with my sister!"
The fragrance of milk belonging to a child hit his nose. Xie Ruzhuo smiled helplessly, patted his little body and said, "Then you go to my bed and lie down for a while. I will accompany you later."
After Xie Huailin got the promise, he smiled with satisfaction and followed the wet nurse.
Xie Huainan frowned a little and said, "Zhuo'er, you can't spoil him like this. Yong'an is a boy after all."
"But he is also a child. Besides, brother, as the eldest son, you are already very good. In the future, he will inherit the title, and there is no such thing as eternal peace. As long as he knows how to make progress, it is enough for him to be safe and happy in this life." Xie Ruzhuo She saw clearly that the officialdom was the most ruthless place. If possible, she really hoped that Xie Huailin could live this life safely under the protection of the Xie family, instead of being like the previous one...
When she thought of that scene, Xie Ruzhuo's guilt towards Xie Huailin began to rise. The only thing that could suppress her anger was the belief that one day all of these people would pay for it with their lives!
In the case of Mo Jisheng, the Xie family was once again praised morally, but Mo Jisheng, who was acquired by Shen Jingci at a high price, has completely become an ungrateful person.
When she heard the news, Shen Jingci smashed the tea cup in her hand angrily again, "Trash! You can't even compare to a yellow-haired girl like her. How dare you say that you can do other things well?"
Mo Jisheng said with a look of fear, "Miss Shen, it's not me who can't explain it, it's that girl who is too sharp-tongued. I am a very sound person in business, but quarreling with women and children is not my specialty."
He is now scolded by people all over the street, and the Xie family can no longer get rid of it. If he doesn't hug the thigh of the person in front of him, I'm afraid that Mo Jisheng will really have no future in the future!
