C28 (1/2)
He wanted to say a few harsh words, but his heart felt heavy, as if something was falling on it. He was unable to utter those fierce words no matter how hard he tried.
”You can't ask me to tell you about your mother and brother here, can you?” He spoke in a low voice.
Nie Mo then handed over the steps down and immediately followed, ”This servant will leave by myself.”
Nie Mo did not force her, and smiled as he turned to go out. Since he was behind her, he first extinguished the candles, and then followed his out.
She blew out the candle because she wanted to save money and also because the weather was dry. She was careful with the candles, but unexpectedly, in Nie Mo's eyes, it became an unrecoverable action.
One had to know that there was a candlestick under the candle. If it wasn't deliberately done badly by someone, even if the candle was gone, nothing would have been lit.
Returning to the main house, Nie Mo first looked for the medicine.
This time, he finally remembered the words of a man and woman who were under his control. It was unknown if it was because of the medicine or because he thought of another place (Nie He), but his face was slightly hot.
When Nie Mo pulled her this time, she did not dodge. Instead, he raised his head and looked at him seriously.
Her eyes were clear to the end, and her doubts were about to surface. Nie Mo barely managed to suppress his anxious breathing, and asked slowly, ”Did you eat dinner?”
”Yes.”
”On...” But where else is there discomfort? ”
Xia Zhi Sheng shook his head, saying in a low voice, ”No.”
Nie Mo saw her long eyelashes flicker, he wanted to hug her tightly and kiss her, so he wanted to lure her to say a few more words, so he said, ”I can't explain it clearly with just a few words about your family, I don't know where to start, why don't you ask, I'll answer, what do you think?”
”Then second master, please tell us what you did in our family after the incident.”
At such a young age, he had already found the right answer the moment he had opened his mouth.
”After the incident with Elder Yu, I didn't expect that your family would be implicated. I only found out that you were implicated when I saw the copy sent by the Ministry of Justice in father's study …”
”After I saw it, my heart burned with anxiety, but unfortunately, my every move was observed, so I could only order Nie Jiang to secretly run outside.
When I saw that your brother was bought away by your relatives, I paid a friend of mine to temporarily settle your mother down.
It's just that you're a bit of a nuisance... Beans in years, people... I asked the granny broker to buy you out. Then I secretly changed your name and ordered the granny broker to sell you to me.
”Because there's something wrong with your indenture contract, I plan to take advantage of litchi garden's few days of time to enter the servant's office to bring your indenture contract over …”
”How do you know my name?”
”I … ever since you saved me, I …” Nie Mo closed his eyes and continued, ”After that, I went to the Wei Jia Village every few days. Even though you didn't see me again, I almost always met you.
How could he tell?
She nodded and turned her face away slightly, staring into the candlelight.
Nie Mo approached her silently.
She needed her identity, status, and endless wealth.
But she couldn't ask others for it.
”Can I see my mother?” she whispered.
Nie Mo stretched out his hand and clenched it tightly, then said after a long while: ”Something just happened to you, so it's not good to attract others' attention, how about I bring you out later?”
Why did he nod his head?
Nie Mo could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
”Your mother is very good, and my friend is very reliable. Although his family is not considered rich, it is still a well-off family. Your mother won't suffer.”
Although he was unwilling, he still said, ”Thank you.”
Nie Mo could not believe his ears when he heard that, it was as if he had swallowed two honey balls down his throat. He grabbed her shoulders, looked into her eyes, and asked anxiously, ”You don't blame me?”
Of course it's your fault!
However, she thought that if she fell into someone else's hands, it wouldn't necessarily be better than falling into the hands of the Nie clan. Her status as a servant wouldn't allow her to become an official wife, but rather, a girl.
Why didn't Nie Mo respond to his question?
Of course, she wasn't a masochist.
He told Nie Mo that it was Elder Nie who had overturned Yu Family, and that even the Yu Family's Nine Clan's Emperor, Nie Mo, was unable to control the two of them, so she didn't blame Nie Mo? She wouldn't say that even if his brain was flooded with water!
Although Nie Mo was disappointed, he was not discouraged. At her age, if she did not stab his enemy to death, then it would have been good for his heart.
He definitely wouldn't be as impulsive as he thought. Although she had secretly cursed Elder Nie when her mother told her that it was Elder Nie's fight with the Minister Yu that caused her family to suffer.
However, their mother had also said that they were not close relatives of the three clans. If they met with the emperor on his birthday or a concubine in the palace who was pregnant with a prince in the future, they might be pardoned. The silver used to buy and sell human beings had not changed in the past ten years!
