Rong Ning didn't consider herself a good person. Ever since Mo'er woke up, she would go to her place whenever she had nothing to do, mainly to pass the time, but what she said was extremely blunt and realistic.
She told Mo'er that there was no need to thank her for saving her life. For her, picking Mo'er up from the mountains was just a matter of convenience and didn't take much effort.
Mo'er survived because of her own efforts, so there's no need to thank her.
At first, Mo'er remained silent, only her beautiful eyes silently watching her, leading Rong Ning to believe that she was a little mute. However, because those eyes looked at her so pitifully, Rong Ning could no longer say anything harsh and could only shut up.
It's really not a good thing that the little girl can't speak at such a young age, but the doctor said there's nothing wrong with her. As for why she hasn't spoken, they don't know the reason.
Well... if I don't know, I don't know...
Anyway, she had done her best, and Rong Ning didn't care much about it afterward.
But because Mo'er didn't speak and didn't seem like a girl who could read and write, Rong Ning never knew her name or where she lived, so she couldn't send her away and just kept her at Linghua Temple to take good care of her.
Mo'er first spoke to her a month after she was rescued.
Seeing that she was recovering well, Rong Ning ordered someone to investigate Mo'er's identity so that she could decide where Mo'er would go in the future.
She didn't hide these words from Mo'er, but Mo'er, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly spoke up. Without hesitation, she knelt straight down in front of Rong Ning and said loudly, "Miss Rong, I have nowhere to go and no one to rely on. The world is hard. Please take me in and give Mo'er a bite to eat."
That was the first time Rong Ning heard her speak, and she finally learned that her name was "Mo'er".
Later, Rong Ning asked her why she could speak but never opened her mouth.
Mo'er said that she suffered this great misfortune because she said the wrong thing and angered the important person, so she dared not speak casually again.
The reason she asked Rong Ning to let her stay was because she had been observing Rong Ning for a long time and felt that although Rong Ning always said that she was not a good person, she was kinder than anyone else she had ever met.
She was just a little girl, drifting like a fallen leaf, her life as fragile as paper. She barely survived this time, but she might not be able to next time.
So I decided to latch onto Rong Ning's coattails.
After observing Rong Ning for a while, Mo'er felt that Rong Ning was straightforward. Instead of beating around the bush with her, it would be better to just be direct and say what she wanted.
For Yu Rongning, taking in a little girl was just a matter of a word; whether to keep her or not depended entirely on her mood.
Although it was something she could do easily, Rong Ning never thought of keeping Mo'er by her side. Saving her life was already enough.
So Rong Ning said at the time, "I told you long ago that I am not a good person. I saved you because you had a strong will to survive. You earned your own life."
Similarly, if you want me to keep you, I need to see how useful you are.
He thought these words would make Mo'er back down, but to his surprise, she became even more determined. "Mo'er is willing to follow Miss Rong and serve her like a slave for the rest of her life. I only ask that Miss Rong give me a chance."
"I don't need anyone to be my slave, I have enough."
The world is a difficult place, and even a Bodhisattva may not be able to save all sentient beings, let alone a young girl like her. She cannot save so many people.
But Mo'er kowtowed repeatedly, her attitude so earnest, it was as if she would rather die than be taken in.
Rong Ning was pampered from birth and had a noble status. Before going to Linghua Temple, she had never experienced any human suffering and did not know that ordinary people had many things they could not do in order to survive.
Therefore, she felt no unease at Mo'er's plea.
