"Qingluo girl, you have to take more responsibility. After all, she's a child without a mother. Although you took care of her like a daughter, a child without a mother will always have a lot on their mind."

Seeing that you helped her invite a few female teachers, and that she didn't want to learn anything at all, and even chased them away, you can see how rebellious she is. Fortunately, she's just a girl and doesn't want to be outstanding.

"Isn't this the chance to attend the banquet? I will help her pick a good home, so Master can rest assured." The Qiu's's words were attentive and sincere, while the Residence of Prefect Zheng was slightly moved.

"That is too much. It is my duty to help the young mistress, how could I dare to let the third young miss be courteous?"

Mama Pan didn't wait for Zheng Qingluo to complete her etiquette before she hurriedly helped her up. Although she had face following his wife, Mama Pan had always known that his wife was a hard-hearted person.

If he waited on her carefully, perhaps he could end his life in peace. But perhaps one day, if he provoked his wife into a ruckus, he might never be able to recover. At that time, who could he rely on?

Eldest Miss and Second Miss were the Madam's biological daughter. Needless to say, they had no possibility of taking care of her, and only Third Miss, who originated from the First Madam's stomach, was treated harshly by the Madam's Qiu's.

Although she looked weak and weak, he knew that she had made his wife take a step back and given him two pieces of high-quality cloth. Perhaps she would become a scheming person in the future and might be able to help him if she couldn't handle it.

It was useless, but he would have to think about it in the future. As a man, if he wanted to be able to meet again in the future, Mama Pan would not be so heartless.

"Moyu, quickly get Mama Pan a cup of hot water." Zheng Qingluo personally ordered the little girl to pour the water. Her face showed a hint of joy and trepidation.

He then turned around, with his head lowered and a bashful look on his face, he said apologetically to Mama Pan.

"Mama Pan, I'm sorry, but you should know about the situation here. I really can't provide you with any snacks or tea, so please take care of it.

Zheng Qingluo stuttered as she twisted the kernels as if to encourage herself.

"Just say it, say how grateful I am for the cloth Mother gave me. I like the color of the cloth very much, I will definitely, I will definitely make a beautiful wad for Second Sister."

"Of course, I will also make one for mother. I hope that mother won't mind it when the time comes." After bringing Mama Pan to the round stool at the side of the table, she sat down with him.

"When are you going to turn your back on me? Your daughter only has those she likes." The meaning behind Mama Pan's words was very clear. He would speak on Third Young Miss's behalf, and must make the Madam satisfied.

"I hope so."

Zheng Qingluo opened her eyes in anticipation, and raised her head to meet Mama Pan's gaze, but Mama Pan understood what she wanted to say from Third Miss's tone. That kind of result was only an extravagant hope, no matter what, Madam would not be satisfied.

"Don't worry Third Miss, this servant will do my best."

Hearing that, the corners of the third young miss' mouth curled up, but her gaze was even more direct. The sincerity in her eyes allowed Mama Pan to see that the third young miss had owed him a debt of gratitude.

He really was a smart guy. He had been wrong in the past, and his brain could settle down in a corner. He could not be a normal person just because he was patient. This person might be the most outstanding out of the three young mistresses.

"Hey, you're talking about this silly girl. She's still holding onto it. Quickly bring the cloth over and let the third lady have a closer look."

Mama Pan suddenly saw Luo Man, who was following behind the little girl, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. He silently cursed himself for being careless and quickly knocked the table, pretending to be anxious.

"Look at me, I'm getting old and a bit useless. I was too busy chatting with Third Miss and forgot my main purpose for coming here. Third Miss can only forgive me."

Mama Pan stood up and sang a song, but at the next moment, he was pushed back down to the round stool again.

How could the Mama Pan forget? The Mama Pan was the one who gave face to our young miss, thus he wasted some effort in talking to us young miss.

As he spoke, he commanded the little girl who was holding the cloth to spread it on the table. This master had not even spoken, how could she speak like a servant, it was clearly a derangement of the rules. Mama Pan looked at Third Young Miss again and saw that she was once again timid and cowardly.

Mama Pan turned around and looked at Mo Li. She was an innocent little girl, and judging from her age, she seemed to have just left her hair not long ago.

She was dressed in a light purple waist jacket and a four point deep purple gauze skirt. Her clothes were a lot more neat than the ones on the Third Miss, at least eight or nine layers new. She looked very relaxed, but she also had a sense of shrewdness, and she was also very smart; the people in the yard really didn't dare to be looked down on.

Mama Pan, please drink a mouthful of water that is warm and warm. Although it is already the beginning of spring, you are still very cold. Inky came in just in time.

"Sister Luo Man, why are you still standing? Come over and sit."

When she passed by Luo Man, it was as if she had just seen Luo Man walking over. Mo Ju enthusiastically greeted him, but when she saw that Luo Man did not move, she passed the water bottle in her hands to Mo Li and pulled Luo Man over to sit by the table.

"Sister Luo Man, just take a seat, our family's young miss doesn't have many rules, he is very friendly to us, right, young miss."

"I won't be sitting. I have to report back to Madam after I deliver the ingredients." Luo Man tactfully declined Moyu's good intentions, but was forcefully pulled by her to sit down.

Elder sister should sit down and rest for a moment. Look, I said that our young miss will not care about it, and elder sister should be of use to Madam. It's our honor for elder sister to come to our courtyard.

"Come, have a drink of hot water to warm your body. We, the ladies, need to take good care of ourselves. Otherwise, when we are old, it will be too late to sit down and regret our illness."

"It's all thanks to our young mistress' good nature. She would usually let us take care of her. As long as she has anything, we will have it as well. Look at how strong I am."

These words caused the corners of Mama Pan's mouth to become crooked. He lowered his head and pretended to take a sip of hot water, trying his best not to laugh out loud.

She seemed to be speaking up for the third young mistress, but the little girl beside her saw through her that the third young miss was a weak person who could be bullied. She did not need to put her in her eyes and showed her weakness.

"Then, thank you, Little Sister Moyu."

Luo Man sat down and drank a cup of hot water before leaving with Mama Pan. During this period of time, Zheng Qingluo had only raised her head once, symbolically.

The rest of the time she just sat there with her head down until they got up, then followed them with some confusion, and followed them to the gate of the yard.

"Please go back, Third Miss. Don't let this wind blow on you again." Mama Pan turned around and gave way to Zheng Qingluo, while Luo Man also gave her permission, "That's right, Third Miss, please leave quickly." He couldn't hide the contempt on his face.

"Alright, Mama Pan and Sister Luo Man walk slowly, Qingluo will not send you off." Even in the presence of two servants, this first-born Third Miss did not forget to bow to them. No matter how she looked at it, she was still a coward.

"I won't see you out, I won't see you out."

Although he didn't want Luo Man to see how much respect he had for the Third Miss, he still couldn't help but to lean over and politely look back at Zheng Qingluo. Zheng Qingluo also met Mama Pan's gaze, her eyes glinting with unexplainable emotion, but Mama Pan was able to see the smile in her eyes.

"Madam, I think that the Third Miss is really useless. It's a waste for you to want to take care of her. After being bullied by two girls, you don't even dare to say anything. You really can't raise her."

Knowing what she was thinking, Luo Man told her about what he saw and heard in Zheng Qingluo's courtyard, as well as the attitudes of Mo Li and Mo Ju. However, his tone was filled with disdain for Third Miss.

Mama Pan did not interrupt Luo Man when he was speaking, she only stood quietly beside her, listening to her light up the fire for the mistress. She had more or less seen what was going on in the Third Miss' courtyard, and knew that there were some things that were better left unsaid.
