If you say these words and let others hear it, you will be charged with betraying the mistress, which is a light crime.

Hongxiu didn't think much about it, she was more surprised.

"But... Madam has treated the young lady as her own child for so many years. Doesn't the young lady also treat her with great respect?!"

Hongxiu didn't understand that the Su family had always had a reputation as a virtuous person in the family. Besides, their young lady's behavior was ridiculous, but she never said a word about her mistress.

Mu Qiaoxi felt helpless. Whether she treated her as her own child or treated her with respect, how much was it true and how much was it false?

In the past, she really wanted to find some motherly feeling in Su Shi, but now she doesn't dare to dream about it at all.

Meeting Hongxiu's eyes that were still full of curiosity, Mu Qiaoxi knew that she couldn't be too revealing, so she just dusted her sleeves and spoke in a brisk tone.

"People's hearts are separated from each other. Do you know whether other people's hearts are red or black? Bad people don't have the word bad written on their faces." Mu Qiaoxi's tone was neither salty nor bland, as if she was talking about the most ordinary things.

Hongxiu looked at Mu Qiaoxi in disbelief, her almond-shaped eyes widening.

"Miss, you have encountered too many things recently, and some plants and animals are in danger?" Hong Xiu's tone was dubious.

Mu Qiaoxi knew that talking too much would be harmful rather than helpful, so she stretched out her hand and pinched Hongxiu's nose hard.

"How can there be so many reasons in the world? Don't look at it. Su Shi and Mu Qiaoling are so skillful in their actions. You don't think this is their first time doing this, right?"

No matter how cryptic Mu Qiaoxi is, he can't be cryptic anymore.

Seeing Hongxiu's shocked expression, she sat in front of the dressing table and combed her hair slowly.

Hong Xiu stopped talking, obviously she already had her own plans in mind.

"The people my mother calls to take care of me must not be trusted at all. Pay attention to everything and act with caution. Do you understand?"

Faced with Mu Qiaoxi's instructions, Hongxiu no longer had any doubts, but instead kept some delicate thoughts and nodded secretly.

"Hongxiu is willing to go through fire and water for the lady, no matter what!" Her eyes flickered and she was unwavering, and her sincere words touched Mu Qiaoxi's heart.

She must protect the eldest lady.

Mu Qiaoxi shook her head, smiled helplessly, stretched out her hand and tapped Hongxiu's forehead.

"You still have your own cousin. Those are just concerns. It's not worth taking risks for me." Mu Qiaoxi wanted to extinguish Hongxiu's passion.

Hongxiu covered her cheeks and stuck out her tongue, very playfully.

She wanted to leave before because the eldest lady was cruel and unkind. She beat and scolded her servants at every turn and had such a reputation for being domineering. But after getting along with her for the past few days, she found that Mu Qiaoxi didn't seem to be who she thought.

breed people.

Then staying in the Hou Mansion seems to be a good choice.

"I'm used to serving young ladies. I was born to protect young ladies. I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to rely on young ladies." Hongxiu took the comb from Mu Qiaoxi's hand and gently helped her comb her long hair.

"You're so stupid, no one will dare to want you in the future."

Mu Qiaoxi said with a smile, her black hair flowing out like a waterfall, reflected in the bronze mirror, making it even more brilliant.

The night was already dark, so Hong Xiu spread the bedding for Mu Qiao Xi before blowing on the lamp and going to sleep.

Early the next morning, Mu Qiaoxi yawned and sat up lazily from the bed.

The servants guarding the door were already a little anxious.

"Madam, please invite the eldest lady to come over for breakfast. It's already been an hour since I burned incense. Why doesn't the eldest lady get up?"

Hongxiu stood at the door with his arms folded and a cold expression on his face.

"The eldest lady is delicate and respects the mistress, so she dresses up carefully. The mistress didn't say anything, but you have ignored the filial piety of the eldest lady?"

The servant quickly bowed his head and apologized repeatedly: "Damn it, young lady. My eldest lady's filial piety towards my mistress is second to none."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the boudoir was pushed open.

"It would be inappropriate for Qiao Ling to hear what you said." Mu Qiaoxi walked out of the boudoir, dressed in plain clothes and with a plain face. She didn't look like she was well-groomed.

The servants didn't dare to argue with her, so they had no choice but to lead the way.

dining room.

Mu Zhen had something to do in the court and had already left the banquet. Mu Qiaoling was still being punished. Su was the only one at the banquet.

"Xi'er is here, sit down quickly."

While Mu Qiaoxi sat down, her eyes lingered on Aunt Qu who was standing beside her.

"Speaking of which, I heard people say that there was a fire in the south yard last night?"

As Hong Xiu watched her words, she saw the slight frown on Aunt Qu's face, and saw Su Shi's stagnant fake smile.

For a moment, Hongxiu stepped forward to answer the question sensibly.

"What the eldest lady is saying is that last night someone shouted fire in the courtyard. Many people in the house got up to look, but they were not sure. What happened?"

Seeing this, Aunt Qu on the side quickly stepped forward and said: "Miss, I have misunderstood. I don't know which ignorant slave it was last night, who lied about cheating. If he disturbed the lady's rest, he would be punished by death."

."

The 'ignorant' Mu Qiaoxi and Hongxiu looked at each other and smiled, their expressions full of banter.

"Fortunately, it's just a lie. If it really was a fire, I'm afraid my life would be in danger. I slept so deeply last night that Hongxiu almost didn't wake me up in the morning." Mu Qiaoxi said this with a special charm.

He chewed the words "life is at risk" carefully.

Hong Xiu helped Mu Qiao Xi prepare the dishes and said in agreement.

"Yes, fortunately it was just a false alarm, but the lady can sleep peacefully now, so Hong Xiu is relieved."

Mrs. Su's hands tightened and she grasped the chopsticks, barely keeping the motherly smile on her face.

Sure enough, Hongxiu's tone changed and she turned to Aunt Qu.

"These are Madam's wishes. Thank you Madam for asking Aunt Qu to bring the incense. Otherwise, Hongxiu would be really anxious when she saw the young lady tossing and turning day and night." Under Hongxiu's hearty smile, even Mu Qiaoxi felt a little uncomfortable.

I don't understand her speaking skills.

Su Shi carefully made eye contact with Aunt Qu, but Mu Qiaoxi looked at her intently.

Aunt Qu immediately said: "The eldest lady is having trouble sleeping, it must be because the servants did not take good care of her, and said things that should not be said in front of the eldest lady. It is the old slave's fault for failing to discipline these gossiping slaves.

"

After saying that, Nanny Qu lowered her head and lowered her hands with a self-examination look on her face, as if she was resigned.

Before Mu Qiaoxi expressed her position, Su climbed up the pole.

"You really deserve to be punished for being so neglectful of Xi'er. You have been a domestic slave for many years. I thought you were more approachable and considerate than others, so I arranged you to serve Xi'er. Now you are really called

I'm disappointed."

After Su said this, she stretched out her hand lovingly and held Mu Qiaoxi's hand.

The latter faked a smile and looked coldly at the drama between the master and the servant.
