C5 (2/2)
Mu Yizi glanced at his bright red wedding suit. Even though it was only a woman's dress, it didn't feel out of place on his body. It had to be said, although rich Meng was a bit wicked. However, his eyesight was quite good, he actually got someone to make a suit that would fit Shen Bai.
”I guess I'll just wear it like this. It looks pretty good.” After saying that, Mu Yizi entered the room and closed the door.
It was unknown if it was because of her revenge for Shen Bai's hidden martial arts in the morning or because of some mischievous thought, but Mu Yizi did not agree, but she secretly made a note in her heart.
What greeted Shen Bai was the door to Mu Yizi's room, which was closed. He lowered his head to look at his bright red wedding robe helplessly.
He didn't expect that this little girl would hold a grudge. What did his master want him to find this tiger girl from the family of generals for?
After Shen Bai left, Mu Youzi listened attentively to the footsteps outside the door as they walked further and further away. Only when she was sure that Shen Bai had left did Mu Yutian open the door slightly to check if she had guessed correctly.
Seeing that there was no one at his door, Mu Yizi finally opened it completely. She lazily stretched her waist and felt the money pouch on her waist. While pondering about what kind of clothes she should buy for Shen Bai, she walked towards the exit.
By the time Mu Yizi returned, the sun was about to set. The evening light softly sprinkled down, covering everything in its sight with a layer of gold.
As soon as he entered the village, Mu Yizi saw the woman and a man named Zhou standing in the courtyard, looking up at the sky. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
”Why are you two here? Not in the room? Didn't you say that you're not feeling well? ” Mu Yizi walked in leisurely with a bundle in her hands, as if she was very familiar with them.
As if she had been frightened by the mature Mu Youzi, the woman was slightly startled. She then replied with a smile, ”I feel better now, so I came out to look at the sky. I wonder what Miss Mu is doing? ”
Although Mu Youzi didn't like people calling her a lady, the woman in front of her gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Therefore, she didn't feel unhappy and only responded with a smile.
”Well, I went out and bought something new for the kids down the hill. Plus, someone wanted to change his clothes, so he went for a stroll down the mountain. We'll be eating soon. You all should hurry back to your rooms after taking a look! ”
After she finished speaking, Mu Yizi wanted to return to her room to put the things away, then figure out a suitable reason to give the clothes to Shen Bai. She did not find it strange that the woman knew that her surname was Mu. Just as he raised his foot, he was stopped.
”Miss Mu!”
Mu Yizi turned around to look at the woman, puzzled. She didn't know what else she wanted, so she gestured for her to continue.
”Miss Mu, you seem to be very friendly. I wonder if we've met somewhere before?” The woman slowly walked in, looking at Mu Yizi with eyes that seemed to be mixed with complicated emotions.
This confused Mu Youzi. She had grown up with her father, all the way until she was nine years old. Her father had brought her to a place far away from the capital, where she had become a bandit in the Qingfeng Stronghold. She had been living in the village ever since, so how could she know this woman?
Perhaps she had seen someone who looked very similar to her somewhere?
”You might have remembered wrongly. I grew up in Fresh Breeze Stronghold and have never gone out before. The furthest I've been is the Agarwood City. ” Smiling at the woman, Mu Youzi took the things and slowly left.
Watching her leaving, the woman put away her smile and sighed without a trace. Maybe he was wrong? Otherwise, why would he see that person's shadow on this girl that he had never seen before?
”Mistress, did you remember that person again?” The man surnamed Zhou stood respectfully behind the woman. He knew that his master would never forget that person, let alone having a child for that woman. But who told him to be so ignorant as to take his child and disappear without a sound? The culprit had spent all these years feeling guilty and remorseful.
The woman waved her hand, ”It's fine. In a while, send someone to find Ji Wei and the Chief Patrol Officer of Agarwood City. Tell them not to disturb the Qingfeng Stronghold for the next few days. ”Oh right, how is the investigation going?”
”Master, he hasn't returned yet, but he should be here soon.” [If you want to take that young master, why do you need to go through so much trouble? ”This servant can now arrange for him to be sent to the capital …”
Before the man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the woman. It seems like you have followed me for a long time, and you actually have the audacity to guess my thoughts? ”
The faint threat in his tone made the man quickly kneel to the ground, lowering his head, repeatedly saying that he didn't dare.
The woman ignored him and turned to leave, leaving the man kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
After the woman left, the man stood up. As servants, their first lesson was to guess their master's thoughts. Before their master even opened his mouth, they had already prepared something for him. It was his fault this time. His master had always been afraid of others guessing his thoughts, so why did he still say those words on his own?
He wondered what his master would do to him when he returned. The man walked towards the guest room with a sad face.
