C23 (2/2)

First Lady pondered for a while, ”According to my wife's intentions, we cannot order such a disorderly girl around, why don't we get someone to bring her out, and pick a few good ones for second brother.”

”Which old woman in the garden came to report to you? Tell me everything in detail.”

The First Lady laughed, ”For matters between little girls, it would not anger mother to say it out loud.”

”Before you, I have never been in charge of a family. If I was afraid of getting angry, I would have already been angered to death.” The madame said coldly.

First Lady opened her mouth slightly, but did not dare say anything else. She looked at Nie Run, hoping that he would help her change the situation, but she did not know how much Nie Run knew, just in case he asked the right question.

Unfortunately, it's not a good idea. Nie Run asked softly, ”Who burned who? How can it be like being scorched by the clouds? ” He was the head of the investigation department, and was equivalent to the future executive director. Although he didn't care much about the affairs of the house, he still knew how to take things into his own hands, so when he asked, he didn't hit the nail on the head.

The First Lady did not expect Nie Run to ask such a question and felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. Nie Run did not ask if it was true or not, nor did he ask why it was true.

She shook her head, ”If it weren't for the fact that Ruyun was scalding hot, how would she have survived? Ruyun is sick, and her words are unpleasant to hear. Why would she have such a temper and pour hot water over her body?”

Hearing First Lady's words, Nie Run could not help but wish that he could pour hot water over her!

He turned his head slightly to look at the door.

Grand Lady reached out his hand to touch the teapot, then said to Nie Mo, ”Second brother, go brew a pot of tea for me.”

Nie Mo stood up and took the teapot out.

The Old Granny waited for Nie Mo to leave before she turned to look at First Lady, her gaze sharp, ”Tell me, how did you manage to scald as though it was clouds, and how did you admit it with proof?”

”Mother …” Mother … First Lady was stunned for a moment. She never expected the old lady to ask about a little girl.

Nie Mo had never been interested in girls, so the only possibility was that Nie Run had said something to the old lady. In an instant, First Lady's face turned white as he stared at Nie Run in a daze and did not say anything.

The old mistress swept the teacup by her hand to the ground. ”Put away your dirty thoughts. My son is not as dirty as you think!”

Nie Run stood up lightly. He stood together with First Lady, but did not look at First Lady, but instead said indifferently, ”Mother is asking you a question, what is the answer to your question?”

The words First Lady said were immediately used by Nie Run on himself.

At this moment, she felt a bitter taste in her mouth. Was it not enough for so many concubines?!

Seeing that the First Lady was about to turn into a demon, the Old Granny scolded him, ”You fool, why don't you consider this on behalf of Brother Xiang!”

She had initially thought that her eldest son's wife was intentionally disturbing her second son's mood during the exam, but now it seemed that she was overthinking it. Her appearance clearly showed that she drank a vat of old vinegar!

The child was her mother's weakness, so no matter how much First Lady cared about Nie Run, she would definitely choose her child. Hearing the Old Madam's words, she immediately knelt down.

Nie Mo did not go far. As he walked out of the inner room, he handed the teapot over to the Senior Servant Cheng while he stood at the door. He could clearly hear every word that was said in the room.

Senior Servant Cheng very quickly brought a pot of hot tea and said to Nie Mo in a low voice, ”Second Master, be careful of the heat.”

Nie Mo nodded his head, he did not even need to hit the curtain with the pot, and went in by himself.

The old lady took a deep breath and said to Nie Run, ”Help your wife up!”

Nie Mo walked over to her gently and picked up another teacup. After boiling it with water, he poured a cup of tea for the old lady.

Second Brother, you ask the Senior Servant Cheng to bring Ru Yun here. Why did you have to go there yourself, bring the two of them here. You're not married.

Nie Mo nodded, and without a word, he turned and left.

He had been keeping his mouth shut the entire time, afraid that he'd say something unpleasant. He was just afraid that if he said too much, he'd end up suffering for the time being and wouldn't be able to protect her or his life. In the future, she wouldn't have much of a foothold in the Nie Mansion.

When he came out and told the Senior Servant Cheng, the Senior Servant Cheng immediately nodded his head and said to Nie Mo, ”Since Second Master's servant is old, it would not be convenient for him to enter or leave the Virtuous Hall. Since he wasn't young anymore and had always lived under the First Lady's tutelage, it was time for his to avoid arousal. Nie Mo nodded.

With Yue Ji standing up for the Old Mistress, the wives of the Hall of Virtue didn't dare to say anything. Although their eyes were flickering, Nie Mo didn't bother to pay attention to them because he had saved his saliva.

When he saw her, she was curled up in a corner with her arms wrapped around her shoulders, curled into a small ball.

Nie Mo panicked for a moment, and also felt a kind of dull pain. At that moment, he only wanted to escape with his life, carrying along this chaotic situation.
