C61 Other Paternal Love

"Tell me the truth, why did Master Mo call you here? Why did you let me bring the Third Miss' clothes over? When I saw it was your key, I opened the trunk, took out the clothes, and came over. "

"I haven't even said goodbye to Third Miss yet, but I can't take back my clothes now. I don't know how to explain myself to Third Miss, so, even if I die, I have to make sure that I die. What's going on today?"

The key to the third lady's room was one for each of the two, but Caragana knew he had the key, and had even taken the key from her to get his clothes.

The first thought that came to her mind was that it was possible that something had happened to Mo Lue. She immediately rushed over to Third Miss, forgetting to tell her about it.

"What else can we say? Speak the truth, and there's no need to cover it up. The two of us didn't do anything wrong, so how can we not speak the truth?" He was still suffering from the anger he had felt in the study.

"That's what you say, but without the young miss's permission, we decided on behalf of the young lady in private. It's not good, after all." The lady may look like she's easy to talk to, but she's actually a strong one.

"It wasn't us who said that, it was the old master who told us to go over. He also asked us to take the clothes, do you think we would dare to disobey?"

"What happened to you today? Did you hit your head? How can you be so unreasonable?" She reached out to touch his head, but he pulled her aside.

"I'm not reasonable, how could I not be reasonable? You've never seen someone who's not reasonable before." When he thought about everything that had just happened in the study, that Master Zheng who was twisted into a tendon really knew how to be a father.

"Who are you talking about? Who's being unreasonable? " Seeing that Mo Li gritted her teeth and didn't say anything, a flash of inspiration passed through Mo Ju's mind. She pointed to the side of the study and asked, "Who's in there?"

She had really hit the mark, "Hmph!" He turned his head angrily and walked quickly to the backyard, not even bothering to look at the study.

"Tell me, why did I suddenly call you over? It gave me a feeling of confidence. It makes my heart overturn."

He had to stop and pull her to a corner where there was no one to talk to. He could tell her about it and let her know about the father's love.

Master Zheng sat on the chair quietly, his hand stroking his clothes. He was curious as to why he believed in that woman so strongly and even abandoned his own child for her.

When he thought about Zheng Qingluo, Master Zheng could not help but feel a little listless. It turns out that her own daughter's life was actually so difficult, under her very eyes.

Since he could stand in that woman's shoes, why hadn't he stood in his daughter's shoes before? Even if he had gone to see her once, he would have known that his daughter was not doing well, but he was stingy with his actions.

It was precisely because of this that she dared to make such a move without caring about anything. No matter what she did, he wouldn't be able to see it, so the Master Zheng slapped him hard.

This slap woke Master Zheng up a little. He got up, picked up his clothes and went to the backyard, and entered the two gates, just in time to see a little girl poking her head out and looking at him.

"What is it? Why are you so unruly?" The little girl immediately shrank back in fear and took a step forward to wish the Master Zheng good luck.

"Master, Madame has woken up and wants to see you." Madam wanted to see the Old Master, but looking at the situation, she did not want to see the Old Master properly. Thus, the little girl did not dare to tarry either.

"Alright, I understand. In the future, if you have anything to report, just report it to me. Just look at how you're acting. This house is getting more and more unruly now." Master Zheng reprimanded the little girl.

He didn't think that he would punish her again, but the little girl was probably frightened and tried to argue, "Just now, I wanted to find a little brother to report to him, but I couldn't find him. I didn't dare to go out because I'm afraid that if Madam found out, I would end up in a worse situation."

When the little girl finished speaking, she lowered her voice, but Master Zheng still heard it clearly. Was she too strict, or was she too domineering?

"How does the Madam usually punish you?" Master Zheng really did not hear about when his family members had their maids beaten and punished, so he always thought that his family was very harmonious.

It was because of this preconceived impression that he didn't believe his wife was a cruel and merciless person. However, everything that had happened today had been completely overturned.

In fact, it couldn't be said that on this day, there had been many times when he had been ridiculed by his peers or praised by his subordinates for having the absolute authority his wife held in the mansion and for having the inner chamber so airtight. It was just that he had never believed it.

"Madam will not punish this servant." The little girl quickly shook her hands as if she was afraid that the old master would misunderstand something. However, she could not hide the panic in her eyes.

"Then what are you afraid of?" Master Zheng felt that he would always have this kind of confusion during this day. When the result came out, it was as if he would be knocked over and he would not be able to accept it.

"Madam, Madame will directly sell him off. If you make the slightest mistake, you will be sold to someone else's teeth. In the future, you can do whatever you want. If the offense is a bit heavier, you will be sold off to an unclean place."

The little girl realised that she had said too much and kneeled down. "Old master, please don't tell this lady, this lady will really sell out this servant."

So this was the punishment that he couldn't see because no one would be punished and they would just disappear. Heh heh, such a good method. That person had always used such a method to show off his virtuous, gentle and ruthless nature.

Master Zheng looked at the little girl in front of him. She was still only eight or nine years old, and at this age, she already knew of Madam's methods.

"Get up. I won't talk to your wife. I'll go to Songtao Academy right now and have a look. Hurry up and wash your face. Don't let anyone see you and report it to your wife."

The little girl laid on the ground trembling, causing Master Zheng to think for some reason about Zheng Qingluo. That child was only this big when she was being tied up, no, she shouldn't be as big as her.

At that time, Qingluo should have been seven years old. At the age of seven, she had been trapped in that crappy courtyard, and he had not seen her since. Even last year, when he was going to attend a banquet at Ambassador Wang's house, he had only listened to her voice from behind the curtain.

What about before she was seven? What about before she was seven? Master Zheng thought back carefully, until his head hurt, and he had no impression of her, but he realized just now, that even before he was seven years old, he had never seen her a few times.

The few times he had seen her, he only saw her from afar, but before he could say anything, she had already pulled him away. She had also begged him to forgive her, saying that Qingluo was still too young and didn't know what she was doing, and he couldn't bear to punish her for what she had done wrong.

What could a child who was not even seven years old possibly do to make herself angry? How could he have believed it so easily? Now that he thought about it, that child just looked at him from afar, coming and going.

Master Zheng seemed to have seen that tiny little person, and just looked at her in such loneliness, while she herself was so stingy with her gaze, that Master Zheng's nose instantly turned sour, and her tears rolled down.

The little girl got up from the ground and was about to thank the old master when she saw his unwell appearance. She took a step forward timidly and greeted him. "Old master, your servant, your servant will help you enter."

As he spoke, he tremblingly handed over his kernels. Seeing that it was still clean, Master Zheng took it and wiped his tears away in a panic.

The little girl did not ask about the reason, but carefully helped him up. The master patted her hand to reassure her, and even gently explained it to her.

"I'm fine, I was just blinded. Now that I've shed tears and the sand has been washed out, I don't need your support anymore. Hurry up and wash your face, so that others won't see, it's just that there's more trouble."

This was still a child, and he had never noticed that there were so many girls in the mansion. It seemed that the older ones had already been swapped for the younger ones in order to nurture them again.

"Will you do it yourself?" The little girl worriedly asked. Master Zheng nodded her head to reassure her, "Alright, you can rest assured. Go quickly." He even nodded with his chin, indicating that she could leave.

"Then this servant will leave first." The little girl was blessed, so she bowed, "Go, go." Master Zheng waved his hand, and found that he still had the little girl's kernels in his hand.

"This kernels is already dirty, so I won't return it to you. If there's a chance in the future, this grandpa will reward you with a new one." In the Master Zheng's eyes, the kernels was naturally not worth much, but his heart was filled with gratitude.

The little girl was blessed again, her voice was full of happiness, "Thank you master, the kernels that can be used for you is its blessing, there is no need for master to return it, this servant will leave first."
