Chapter 352 Beating
It seems that the Mu family is not as peaceful as she saw.
Old Mrs. Mu was a kind person, and she could see that, but her children and daughters-in-law all had their own thoughts.
It's not a bad thing to have thoughts, as long as they are not bad thoughts.
For example, this Aunt Mu and Mu Rao.
Song Ci looked at the shimmering lake thoughtfully. The lake light and the faint light refracted, and the light hit her fair face, further highlighting her fair skin, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and noble temperament.
Mu Qing: "Sister Song, you are so beautiful."
She smiled, her eyes full of admiration.
Song Ci smiled slightly and couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair. "You will be very beautiful when you grow up."
Mu Qing suddenly felt aggrieved, "But everyone says I'm fat and that I won't be able to get married when I grow up."
Song Ci raised her eyebrows: "Not being able to get married is not necessarily a bad thing."
After a woman gets married, she becomes a daughter-in-law. Not only does she have to face calculations, but she also has to manage the household and take charge. If she meets a good man, it's fine. But if she meets the wrong person, her life will be ruined. She can only swallow the bitter fruit and barely get by.
On days like this, Song Ci didn't dare to imagine what kind of hell on earth it would be like.
Mu Qing: "Why? People always say that when a girl reaches a certain age, she should get married, preferably into a wealthy family; that's what makes her prestigious."
Song Ci looked at her: "So what do you think? Do you like that kind of life? A wealthy family has to serve the mother-in-law, socialize with sisters-in-law, socialize with the outside world and take care of the housework all day long."
Mu Qing shook his head like a rattle: "I don't like it!"
Even though she is so tired, she is not stupid!
Song Ci smiled, a very gentle smile. Mu Qing was like a younger sister to her. She had always been the youngest in the family and rarely met young children who were close to her.
Mu Qing: "Be careful!"
With a "bang", a stone fell into the calm lake surface, splashing water and soaking Mu Qing and Song Ci's faces and bodies.
Song Ci was fine because Tian'er blocked it in time, so only her sleeves were wet. Mu Qing was soaked all over and his face turned pale.
Water droplets dripped from her hair, and the winter temperature made her shiver all over.
“Hahahahahaha, he’s really a fool, too fat to hide.”
A mocking voice rang out.
Song Ci looked over and saw a boy about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a white robe. He looked cute, with a wicked smile on his face, laughing loudly and brazenly in the direction of the two of them.
The servants following beside him couldn't help laughing and joined in.
He laughed wildly, oblivious to the people around him, until he met Song Ci's cold gaze.
"Who are you? Why do you look at me like that?"
Song Ci: "My eyes are on my body, why do you care what I look at?" The mockery in her eyes was even more undisguised.
Someone tugged at his sleeve, and Mu Qing whispered, "Sister Song, I'm fine. Or... forget it."
The caution in her tone made Song Ci feel sad.
Boys are bolder.
He picked up a stone and was about to throw it, shouting, "You fool, you are not afraid of getting fat by eating so much. Don't buy meat for the New Year, just use your meat."
The stone was thrown into the air, this time not towards the lake, but towards Mu Qing.
She was stunned, unable to react for a moment, staring blankly at the stone flying towards her face. As expected, Mu Qing would inevitably bleed and get hurt after being hit by the stone, especially on her face.
Song Ci's eyes turned cold, "Tian'er!"
Tian'er understood her meaning and kicked the stone in front of Mu Qing deftly. She kicked it back and it returned to the original path, hitting the boy with considerable force.
“Ah ...
The boy suddenly let out a shrill scream, which cut through the sky above the entire Mu family garden.
The servants were stunned. Who was this person? How dare he attack the young master?
Don’t you want to die? This little girl is also the eldest lady’s treasure.
The servants were in a panic, only Song Ci stood there with a calm look.
Mu Qing: "Sister Song, we are in trouble! He, he is my aunt's youngest son! The whole family dotes on him!" Her voice was filled with tears.
Song Ci held her hand in return and said, "It's okay. I was the one who moved the person. It has nothing to do with you."
Mu Qing's eyes were filled with tears. "But, but Sister Song did it for me. I don't want Sister Song to be blamed."
Song Ci's heart softened a little.
Aunt Mu rushed over with a cry, hugged the boy who was crying loudly, and kept shouting.
"My dearest child, what's wrong with you? What happened? Please tell me quickly."
The boy sobbed and looked at Song Ci with resentment on his face: "It was her, it was her people who beat me! Mother, she actually sent people to beat me in our house!"
As he said this, he continued to cry wildly.
Aunt Mu was shocked and then angry. "Miss Song, how could you send someone to hurt my son? He is so young. You really have a cruel heart."
She lifted up the part where the boy was crying out in pain, and seeing the bruises, she felt so distressed that she didn't know what to do.
Old Madam Mu and the others also arrived. Pei Ji walked straight to Song Ci, hugged her, and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
Song Ci nodded slightly.
Old Mrs. Mu also came. After all, he was her grandson, so she hurriedly asked the imperial physician to come and treat the boy.
Aunt Mu cried and made a fuss, demanding an explanation from Song Ci.
Old Madam Mu looked at Song Ci: "Miss Song, tell me what happened."
Aunt Mu cried, "What else could it be? She can't even tolerate a child, how can she tolerate Mu Rao in the future!"
Old Madam Mu's face turned ugly and she scolded, "Shut up, is this the time to talk about this?"
It seems that everyone in the Mu family knew that Mu Rao was Pei Ji's concubine, and they tacitly agreed to this matter today, so they called me and others here.
Mu Qing suddenly stood up from behind Song Ci, "It's because of me, it's because of my sister Song..."
Aunt Mu: "Because of you? You little bitch, I'll tear your mouth apart and make you team up with others to bully your brother."
She took a few steps forward and raised her hand to hit Mu Qing, but her raised hand was blocked by Pei Ji.
Aunt Mu was stunned.
"Aunt, you want to hit me before you even finish listening to her explanation. That's too overbearing." Pei Ji's tone left no room for questioning as he coldly shook off Aunt Mu's hand.
Mu Da's aunt was so brutal that she was forced to retreat a few steps under Pei Ji's power and actually forgot to beat Mu Qing.
Mu Qing: "Mu Yuan hit me and Sister Song with stones. It was Sister Song's maid who saved me. That's why Sister Song hurt Mu Yuan. It's not our fault. Mu Yuan was the first to attack..." Her tone was timid and fearful, but she still finished the whole story.
The Mu family members knew the child's temper better and naturally knew that it was definitely not Song Ci who took the initiative to provoke him.
But who made Kihara favored!
Mu Yuan kept crying, "Grandma, Mom, they hit me, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, no one has ever dared to hit me like this before! Help me fight back, beat them to death."
