Chapter 718 Fate

Cheng Ying put down the teacup with a calm expression, "What Madam? She is just a toy for you to look at."

Meishu's eyes flickered slightly, she was not sure what Cheng Ying was thinking towards Liang Wushuang. Miwu said that the governor doted on Liang Wushuang and even ordered people to reprimand her because of Liang Wushuang.

"The governor has not kept anyone by his side for so many years. Miss Wushuang is the first one. Sister Miwu and I naturally have to respect her more." Meishu said softly, and raised her eyes to see Cheng Ying looking out the window with her head turned sideways, her eyes fixed on Miss Yujiao in the yard.

The little girl was wearing a scarlet brocade jacket and holding a snow-white rabbit in her arms, teasing it with her head down. Her fair and rosy face had an exceptionally gentle expression, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised. She looked so naive, innocent and clean.

"It seems that Miss Liu San likes these rabbits very much." Meishu smiled gently.

Cheng Ying withdrew her gaze, stood up and walked towards the Zen room, and Mei Shu stood up to see her off.

"Let's go." Cheng Ying walked closer and said to Yu Jiao who was squatting on the ground.

Just as Yu Jiao was about to put the rabbit down, she heard Mei Shu beside her whispering, "This rabbit is called Xiao Ba. It was the one that ran away last time and was sent back by Miss Liu San. It seems that it has a special bond with Miss Liu San. If Miss Liu San likes it, she can take it home and raise it."

Yu Jiao touched Xiao Ba's head. It turned out that it was the rabbit she picked up last time. No wonder it was the only one that came close to her among the group of rabbits.

She stood up and said politely, "No, I can't take care of it."

Cheng Ying lowered her eyes to glance at her and said, "If you like her, take her home and let the servants take care of her."

Yu Jiao shook her head and said calmly, "We already have one at home that was given by the Dugong."

Cheng Ying narrowed his eyes, feeling that the little girl seemed to have something else to say, as if she was blaming him for forcing her to dissect a rabbit.

Yu Jiao then said, "Miss Meishu, I see that you take good care of these rabbits. Can I send the rabbit at home to you?"

Meishu was still surprised that the governor would give Miss Liu San a rabbit. After hearing what Yu Jiao said, she hurriedly said, "Miss Liu San, you should raise it yourself. I see that you like rabbits very much."

How could Meishu dare to accept the rabbit sent by the governor? However, she was very curious about the relationship between this Miss Liu San and the governor. The governor came to the nunnery to burn incense today and brought her with him, and also gave her a rabbit. How come she looked more like the Wushuang Madam that Mi Wu mentioned?

Meishu raised her eyes to look at Cheng Ying's expression. Cheng Ying had a cold face and nothing could be seen.

"I like it, but I don't like keeping small things. The rabbit was injured before, but the wound has healed now. If Miss Meishu is willing to take care of another one, I will have someone send it to you." Yu Jiao really didn't like keeping small things around her. Firstly, the lifespan of small animals is very short compared to that of humans. Secondly, because she had dissected the same kind of these small things, she had a sense of escapist guilt, so she no longer kept pets around her.

After hearing these words, Cheng Ying's eyes gradually deepened as she looked at Yu Jiao.

He still remembered that one time, he and Jiaojiao went up the mountain to collect herbs and found a rabbit hole. There were many baby rabbits in the hole, and the mother rabbit was nowhere to be found. So the two of them took the baby rabbits back home and took good care of them. They picked the freshest grass every day to feed the rabbits, and the baby rabbits grew up quickly.

Then one day, the teacher picked a rabbit from the litter and forced Jiaojiao to dissect it.

After that, Jiaojiao never raised any more little things.

Meishu looked at Cheng Ying in embarrassment.

Yu Jiao smiled and said, "It's okay. If Miss Meishu can't take care of the child, I can send him to someone else to take care of him."

"Send it to her to raise." Cheng Ying said this and walked out of the yard.
