C28 Aunt Is Inviting You!

“Oh, it’s a girl named Yu-er. She looks pretty smart,” Bi Yao said, “Second Lady, you mean we don’t have enough servants in the west courtyard, so we asked her to come over and help. But we need to see what you want…”

“Crack!”

Before Bi Yao finished her words, she saw the teacup in Mu Jia’s hand fall down and crash on the floor.

“Lady, is it hot?” Bi Qiao and Bi Yao jumped and hurried over to wipe the milk tea on Mu Jia’s hand. They were so anxious that they were jumping. “Does it hurt, Lady? I’ll go get the medicine!”

“I’ll get some water for you to wash your hands!”

Then, they hurriedly ran out, leaving Mu Jia alone to watch the broken pieces of porcelain on the floor, and the sticky milk tea. Mu Jia stared at them. Gradually, the milk tea turned red, as red as blood…

Mu Jia suddenly smiled. She smiled and suddenly covered her face. After a while, tears flowed out of the gaps between her fingers. She sobbed and cried, “Brother…”

Mu Changfeng’s head was in her mind and in front of her. The rotten, lifeless, and lifeless head rolled in front of her, staring straight at her.

Mu Jia held her head and couldn’t help trembling.

“Lady!” Bi Qiao hurriedly put the ointment on the table and ran over. She held Mu Jia in her arms. She didn’t know why Mu Jia’s mood had suddenly changed so much. She looked at her heartache and anxiousness, so she tried to comfort Mu Jia as much as she could. “Lady, are you thinking about Master? It’s fine. Master is about to go to the capital. Master is fine…”

Mu Jia didn’t say anything else. She held Bi Qiao tightly and tried to hold back her tears. She thought to herself, ‘Yes, her brother is fine. Nothing will happen to him.’

With her around, the tragedy of her previous life wouldn’t happen again.

She wouldn’t let go of Yu’er or anyone who had harmed her family.

“Yes, her brother will be fine. He will be fine in this life.” After a while, Mu Jia sat up straight. She had regained her calmness, but her eyes were still slightly red.

Bi Qiao felt her heart ache. In the past, she was the beloved daughter of the entire family in the Shu Lands. She was lovely and bright, but after she came to the capital, she had suffered so much. Even her temperament had changed. It was truly heartbreaking.

Bi Qiao was still thinking about how to comfort Mu Jia when she heard Mu Jia say slowly, “Leaving Yu’er here is my aunt’s goodwill. You have to treat her well.”

Mu Jia emphasized the word ‘treat well’. Bi Qiao understood it. She bowed and said, “Yes, this servant will do as you say.”

…

After Mu Zeng and Mu Lei left, Tong Xiuchun brought Yu’er and Duo Er and walked toward the Garden of Flowers with a murderous aura. They were about to reach the Garden of Flowers, but they were stopped.

“Mother Li, why are you here?” Tong Xiuchun looked at the old woman who suddenly appeared in front of her and was confused.

Mama Li was Old Madame Tong’s maidservant. She was Old Madame Tong’s confidant and also an old lady who watched Tong Xiuchun grow up. She had a high status in the Mu Family. Tong Xiuchun had always been arrogant, but he respected Mama Li a little.

Mama Li was dressed in a plain red dress with a rusty red sleeveless shirt. She looked calm and composed. She bowed slightly to Tong Xiuchun and said slowly, “Old Madame, I heard that you are burning with anger, so I ordered someone to make mung bean lily soup for you. Please come and have a meal with me.”

“But…” Tong Xiuchun obviously understood the meaning behind Old Mrs. Li’s words. However, he couldn’t bear to leave Fang Meiyuan, who was right in front of him. He gritted his teeth and said, “Mama Li, please go back first. I will go to the backyard to greet Auntie later.”

Tong Xiuchun was Old Madame Tong’s niece. He had liked his aunt who was fifteen years older than him since he was a child. Later on, they became a couple. In front of outsiders, Tong Xiuchun had to respectfully call Old Madame Tong ‘Mother’, but in private, he still liked to call her aunt. He felt that it was more intimate.
