"Miss, please calm down. I will definitely order you to get everything ready." Butler Li bent down and agreed, apologizing again and again.

Mu Qiaoxi stopped responding and walked away with her red sleeves.

At dinner time.

Today is the beginning of autumn. Mu Zhen specially invites the whole family to gather together for a family dinner.

When Su arrived, Mu Qiao Xi and Mu Zhen were chatting and laughing happily. The place where Mu Qiao Ling should have been sitting was empty at the moment.

She immediately felt resentful. The father and daughter did not regard her Ling'er as their own family at all!

"Mom is here. Father and I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please sit down quickly." Mu Qiaoxi looked like a good daughter and went over to help Su to sit down.

Mu Zhen was a little unhappy with her late arrival.

Su Shi understood the words and expressions, so she said meaningfully: "I'm late, please forgive me. It's some trivial things in the backyard today. To protect Xi'er's reputation, I'm here."

I just went to deal with it, so it was delayed."

When Mu Qiao Xi was mentioned, Mu Zhen's eyes changed a little, and he asked, "What's wrong with Xi'er?"

Of course Mu Qiaoxi knew in her heart that Su was trying to make use of the topic, and she pretended to be confused: "Xi'er doesn't know, what did mother say?"

Su Shi acted like a drama queen, covering her face with a handkerchief with a motherly and preaching look on her face: "I'm not telling you, Xi'er, but Butler Li has been an old servant who has been with your father for decades. You are doing this in front of everyone.

Reprimanding, isn't it a slap in your father's face?"

Mu Qiaoxi was slightly surprised, what in public? What reprimand?

The slaves in the warehouse were not doing their job well and Butler Li was not supervising well. They should have been punished in the first place. Besides, she didn't ask anyone to hold Butler Li in front of others and kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. What's the point of being in public?

Before she could speak, Aunt Qu, who had been waiting beside her, spoke first.

"Mistress, please calm down. The eldest lady has always been naughty. It was an unintentional mistake to cause you trouble. I also ask the mistress to forgive the eldest lady for her fault."

Hongxiu stood nearby and became angry when she heard that Aunt Qu and Su were confusing right and wrong.

This old thing! Haven’t you learned enough lessons from the past?!

She looked at Mu Qiaoxi nervously, but she didn't expect that their young lady not only wasn't angry, but instead had a sad look on her face.

"My mother manages the house well, and I feel really happy when I see it. As long as my mother, father, and sister are reunited and harmonious, I will be happy. It's just that I'm ignorant and shouldn't cause trouble to my mother in the backyard."

Su's face originally had a smug smile on her face, but when she heard Mu Qiaoxi's statement about retreating in order to advance, she was scolded by Mu Zhen before she could speak.

"If you feel tired from doing all the trivial things at home, don't do them!"

Mu Zhen scolded in a low voice, causing all the color to drain from Su's face.

These words sounded like they were depriving her of her rights as a mistress!

She knew that Mu Zhen was partial to Mu Qiao Xi, but she didn't expect that Mu Zhen's preference would be endless!

Mu Qiaoxi always had a calm expression.

The blame is on Su. She didn't know clearly when a servant should be called for overstepping and when he should be punished. He didn't know what to say and what not to say. In addition, Granny Qu, a pig teammate, was even more angry.

Pour oil on it.

"Master Hou has misunderstood. I never meant this. Xi'er is also my daughter who I regard as my own. I do everything for her own good!"

Su originally wanted to express her concern for Mu Qiaoxi, but she did not expect that the words "treat her as if she were her own child" revealed the fact that Mu Qiaoxi was not her biological child.

With a dark face, Mu Zhen directly placed the bowls and chopsticks in his hands on the table.

"I'm going back to the study."

The atmosphere at the table suddenly became deserted and awkward, with only the slight sound of bowls and chopsticks being made by Mu Qiaoxi while she was still eating and drinking.

Su was so angry that the smile on her face was a little forced.

"Xi'er, look, you've made your father so angry."

"Mother misunderstood, isn't father angry with you?"

Mu Qiaoxi unceremoniously pretended not to know anything about the world, exposing what Su wanted to do to set her off.

The corner of Su's mouth twitched slightly, and she restrained her kind smile: "Xi'er, you are getting older every day, it's time to be more sensible. Look at your sister, being gentle and polite is the etiquette that all women should have."

Mu Qiaoxi raised her eyebrows slightly and put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands. However humble her tone was, her words were also sarcastic.

"Yeah, I can't do what my sister does, go to the national temple to eat food and chant Buddha. Fortunately, my sister is filial and honest, and my mother has a sister, so she has no worries in her old age."

Su was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond to Mu Qiaoxi's attitude of breaking the jar.

Seeing the opportunity, Aunt Qu on the side interrupted and said: "The filial piety of the second young lady is obvious to all. The mistress asked us to go to the national temple, and the second young lady went without saying a word."

Aunt Qu was ignorant, but she didn't know how ugly the expression on Su's face was when she said these words.

"Snapped!"

When everyone had their own thoughts, Mu Qiaoxi stood up and slapped Aunt Qu.

Nanny Qu was stunned for a moment by the whipping. Mu Qiaoxi rubbed her palms that were numb from the shock and scolded her coldly.

"Old slave, how can you speak here? How many lives you have are enough for you!"

On the surface, Mu Qiaoxi was hitting on Nanny Qu for bringing up the sad incident of Mu Qiaoling going to Ganye Temple in front of the Su family, but in her heart, Nanny Qu knew very well that she must have taken the opportunity to apologize for Mu Qiaoxi just now.

She hated the incident.

She sobbed and knelt down in front of Su Shi, and hugged Su Shi's thigh.

"Mistress, mistress, this old slave is really unjust."

Su's face couldn't help but her tone became a little serious.

"Mu Qiao Xi, you are too ignorant of etiquette."

Mu Qiaoxi sat down again and slowly ate her food.

"Who is it that doesn't know etiquette? Mother, you didn't see it a few times before, and I didn't say anything. But this time, it was also in front of you. This old guy is getting more and more guilty. If I don't teach him a lesson, he will collide with me one day.

I don’t know if my mother is dead.”

Su's tone softened a bit as she looked at Aunt Qu, whose eyes were averting due to a guilty conscience.

"Aunt Qu is already a qualified old man after all. She treats you as a child and naturally wishes you well."

Su's response was Mu Qiaoxi's arrogant sneer: "How dare she, a lowly slave, treat me like a child? Could it be that the slave has been serving the master for a long time and dares to say that he is half a master?"

!”

Mrs. Su didn't know how to comfort Mu Qiaoxi for a while, and kept cursing Nanny Qu in her heart. She knew that Mu Qiaoxi was domineering, but she dared to speak provocatively.

Mu Qiaoxi then said: "This old servant has done this several times. I made her eat a meal in the yard before, but she still doesn't have a long memory. Today, I haven't apologized to my mother yet, so you spoke up. This time you are overstepping your bounds.

Do you want to be the master?!"

Mu Qiaoxi deliberately changed the reason for her anger to be that Aunt Qu took away her opportunity to plead guilty.

After this, Su finally realized that she was trying to scare the monkeys.
