Third Grandma must be feeling incredibly aggrieved. She'd been fired just like that? Even as she walked out of Mo Qingcheng's house, she was still somewhat dazed. On the way, she encountered several gossipy women who looked at her strangely; before she even passed them, she was being pointed at and whispered about.
Why……
A long, soft sigh escaped her lips, and Third Grandma's legs buckled, nearly causing her to fall to the ground. Suddenly, a large hand reached out and grabbed Third Grandma's arm.
"Mother, why are you back so early? Are you feeling unwell?"
Grandma San panicked. Was it her son, Tiezhu?
"No... Mother is fine..." Third Grandmother's eyes darted away, not daring to meet her son's gaze.
"Mother, are you hiding something from me?" Even Tie Zhu, who was not very bright, sensed that something was wrong.
Grandma San took a deep breath: "Let's talk about it when we get home..."
Tie Zhu froze. What was wrong with his mother? Could it be...? For some reason, a bad feeling rose in Tie Zhu's heart. Could it be that his mother had done something foolish? Had she been discovered by Madam Mo and kicked out?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Tie Zhu's breathing became a little disordered. His mother was old and had been shrewd all her life. How could she have become so confused in her old age?
It's true... life is unpredictable.
Tie Zhu was a little down. Would his wife, whom he had finally won over, run away?
Grandma San seemed to realize something, her back stiffened, and with her son's help, she slowly returned home. She lay on the bed without saying a word, looking somewhat listless.
Tie Zhu offered some words of comfort, but seeing that his mother didn't react, he hurriedly left. No, this matter must be clarified; his mother is old and can't take any more fright.
After circling around Mo Qingcheng's house a few times, Tie Zhu scratched his head and braced himself to go inside, only to be stopped by a guard with a knife, which startled him into a cold sweat.
Good heavens, what's going on?
Tie Zhu took a deep breath, turned around and ran away. He would find out by asking Aunt Cuihua.
However, by midnight, Tie Zhu still hadn't seen Liu Cuihua come out of Mo Qingcheng's house. He grew increasingly uneasy and went to Li Changgeng's house, but Li Changgeng wasn't home either...
What should we do?
What Tie Zhu didn't know was that Liu Cuihua had been kept behind by Mo Qingcheng. There were many household chores, and Liu Cuihua and Bai Yueniang were extremely busy.
When Bai Yueniang asked Liu Cuihua, she agreed without hesitation. Mo Qingcheng wasn't entirely clear about Third Madam's situation, but she had a vague idea of what was going on.
During the meal, the young man in blue felt a little resentful seeing Baili Mingyue eating so heartily without any restraint.
Given his status, wouldn't he be fawned over and even treated like royalty wherever he goes?
But... for the first time in his life, he was utterly despised by a peasant girl with no official rank. His dignity was challenged, and he glared fiercely at Baili Mingyue.
Baili Mingyue pouted, "Who's afraid of who? I'll just eat..."
After dinner, the three chatted for over an hour. Shangguan Yichen couldn't go to the study this time, and he must have been feeling very depressed. His mother had changed her mind; she really had another man...
Mo Qingcheng simply didn't want Shangguan Yichen to bear pressure that shouldn't belong to someone his age at such a young age; some things are better known later in life.
At midnight, Baili Mingyue, along with the unwilling young man in blue, drifted away, leaving behind only the black-clad guards heartbroken.
Yes, you heard right. The black-clad guards learned from Bai Yi that their young lady, Madam Mo, possessed a mysterious martial arts technique. With diligent practice, her hidden skills could be greatly improved.
So everyone started showering him with attention, and Bai accepted them all. He took the gifts, but then said with a smile, "This matter... I can't make the decision myself; I'll have to ask Miss..."
The group of black-clad guards were itching to beat Bai Yi up and were about to spar a few times when their master gave them an order, forcing them to leave in frustration.
Bai Yi's lips curled into a smile. Little brats, you think you can't be dealt with?
Suddenly, a small hand patted Bai Yi's shoulder, startling him so much that his legs went weak and he almost knelt down...
