Chapter 34 - Sensibility
Mo Xiyan was very satisfied with her steward's wisdom, and this was the only person who could live the longest in the palace.
In the unborn environment where the strong preyed on the weak, a person like the butler could live for a long time.
"No need, I don't have much."
As Mo Xiyan said this, her gaze gently swept across the Li mama, "I think you should return to the Madam here and tell her that I don't need your care. After all, staying in the Palace for so many years is already too much of a burden for all of you."
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome at all. My greetings are already packed, you can go with Eldest Miss anytime you want." Li mama waved his hand and said.
"Oh, since you're so positive, it's not good for me to reject you." Mo Xiyan laughed coldly, he directly went past Li mama and opened the cabinet at the corner of the room and took out a small package from inside, then walked back to the butler.
"Since everything has been arranged, let's go."
When the butler saw the small package in Mo Xiyan's hands, his eyes flickered and could not help but think of the package that he had seen in the Li mama before.
Before he saw Mo Xiyan's package, he hadn't had any deep feelings for it, but after he had seen it, if he compared it with the two of them, the difference between them was really too big.
The package of a servant like the Li mama was actually several times bigger than the one that belonged to a proper master like Mo Xiyan. One could imagine how awkward her position in the Palace was.
Thinking about it, the butler's heart started to ache for Mo Xiyan. He never went to the back of the house, and although she had heard that the mistress did not like the eldest miss, she had never imagined that she would be so harsh to her.
It was no wonder that the Madam had become like this. After all, people were doing what they were doing, and the heavens were watching. It wasn't that they were not reporting, but that the time was not up yet.
"The butler is still not leaving?" Mo Xiyan saw that the butler was only looking at her, but did not say a word, and could not help but remind her.
The butler came back to reality and hurriedly stepped forward, "Eldest Miss, this little servant will help you carry the gift."
As he said that, he reached out to grab Mo Xiyan's bag.
Mo Xiyan gently shook her head, she then slightly avoided the butler's hand and said: "No need, the butler will lead the way."
The butler was slightly surprised but quickly responded: "Yes, Miss."
With that, he led Mo Xiyan outside, and the two of them walked out of the house one after the other. At the same time, they chose to forget about the Li mama.
Li mama glared at the two fiercely, gritting his teeth in anger, "Hmph, now I'll let you be proud, sooner or later I'll kill you."
However, she quickly recalled the aura Mo Xiyan had displayed, and her brows knitted together. In front of such a powerful young miss, would she really be able to complete the task Mo Xiyan had asked her to do?
However, she quickly came back to her senses. In the past, that young miss was always bullied by her. Wasn't it just her aura that changed? The inside would definitely be the same as before. What was there for her to be afraid of?
After all, even if Mo Xiyan didn't want to be bullied by her, she had already bullied her multiple times.
Besides, Madam had said that the eldest young mistress had taken away all of the former mistress's dowry. The steward had also said that the master had repaid her with one thousand taels less.
A greedy light flashed past Li mama's eyes. The greed that surged in her heart extinguished the last sliver of hesitation in her heart, and she hurriedly followed suit.
Before Mo Xiyan and the rest could exit the courtyard, Li mama had already caught up. In her eyes, she naturally did not think much of her, so she directly passed her and took the lead to walk out.
Suddenly, a white shadow darted out from the bushes and pounced on her.
"AHH!" Li mama cried out in alarm and fell on her butt. The pain caused her tears to flow out of her eyes.
She raised her head and saw that it was actually a white cat that she had never seen before. Immediately, she cursed, "Where did this little bastard come from? I have to skin you for a collar! "
"Qingqing, come over." Mo Xiyan turned and stood at the entrance of the courtyard as she called out softly. Then, her gaze lightly fell on Li mama's body.
When Qing Qing heard her scream, she immediately jumped into her embrace and lightly nuzzled her with her head. Her attitude was very intimate.
Seeing this, what could the butler and the Li mama not understand?
This cat was raised by Mo Xiyan, and Li mama actually wanted to skin it before? That sentence alone should have offended her.
Unknowingly, Mo Xiyan's gaze on her made Li mama's scalp tingle once again, and she immediately regretted her earlier shout.
The housekeeper came out to smooth things over, "Eldest Miss, if we don't set off soon, we might not be able to reach the next town before nightfall. We might even have to sleep in the forest."
He then looked at Li mama and continued, "It may be because she was in a rush that she said that. Your excellency does not care about my past, please forgive her."
Mo Xiyan didn't intend to punish Li mama in the first place, so she naturally followed the steps given to him by the butler.
"Since the steward has spoken on your behalf, then I won't hold this matter against you."
After saying that, she carried Qingqing and turned around, "If Li mama is so injured that he can't move, then there's no need to follow me. I'll just go back myself."
With that, she walked forward without looking back.
The butler glanced at Li mama and sighed lightly before chasing after him.
He purposely took a step behind Mo Xiyan, maintaining the distance between him and her, and walked out of the courtyard.
There was already a carriage waiting outside the courtyard. A blue-clothed youth stood outside the carriage.
The butler introduced Mo Xiyan to them, he was Zhang Wei, a manager of the house, with some martial arts, he was a reliable person, and had specially arranged for him to escort her back to her hometown.
Mo Xiyan was very satisfied with this, that Zhang Wei looked like a person who could be used, maybe he could become her person in the future?
Of course, this all depended on his attitude.
"This little Zhang Ye greets Eldest Miss." After the butler finished introducing Mo Xiyan, Zhang Ye walked to Mo Xiyan's side, slightly lowered his head, and bowed to her.
While speaking, Zhang Ye took down a stool from the carriage and placed it beside the carriage. He then opened the curtain and stood at the side of the carriage, "Please enter the carriage, Young Miss."
Mo Xiyan gently nodded her head, she stepped on a chair and got on the carriage, and when she saw the things inside the carriage, her lips raised up slightly.
It seemed like the steward was right to say that he knew what was good for him, and the person he picked for her after seeing the amount of supplies in the car was indeed very considerate.
He probably knew what the situation was with that house, so he prepared all the things he could think of.
Although she had the space, she did not lack these things. Since the butler could prepare these for her, she accepted this favor and found a chance in the future to help her find a new way out.
Only after she boarded the carriage did Li mama hobble out of the manor. She naturally wanted to get on the carriage as well, but was stopped by Zhang Ye …
