Fragrant willow catkins

Ningxu returned to Prince Mo's mansion. The gatekeeper and the housekeeper were no longer surprised by her way of entering the mansion on time. In the past few days, Ningxu had been counting the days to go out of the mansion to get the portrait given to her by the Third Master. After all, she had taken several days off this month and could only wait until next month to find an opportunity to go out.

That day, Ningxu cooked more actively after hearing someone in the front hall say that the third young lady and the fourth young master were back today. After finishing her work at noon, the meals were delivered to the front hall. Ningxu was just planning to take a break and sit on the recliner to take a nap, but someone from the front hall came and said that the eldest master asked her to go to the front hall now.

Could there be something wrong with the food she cooked?

I'm not going to die here today, am I?

Ningxu followed the people all the way to the front hall, feeling terrified.

When they arrived at the hall, Old Master Mo was still in seclusion. Mo Tang was no longer at the table, but Mo Xiao and Mo Xun were. Mo Tang must have been afraid of too many people, so he stayed in his own yard.

Ningxu noticed that most of the dishes on the table had not been touched, but half of the dishes she was responsible for were gone. Seeing this, Ningxu felt relieved a lot, at least she was not called in because there was something wrong with her dishes.

Master: "Are you the new cook?"

Ningxu: "Yes, Master."

The eldest master: "Relax, the dishes you cooked are very much to our taste, so everyone wants to see you, just raise your head." It turned out that Mo Xun had tasted the dishes made by Ningxu just now and praised her a few words. The second lady also remembered that she had not seen what the new chef looked like, so she suggested asking Ningxu to come to the front hall.

Ningxu raised her head after hearing this. The elders present were all very shocked and did not react for a long time. Ningxu's face was so similar to the one in their memory!

When Mo Xi saw that the elders were all staring at Ningxu, she remembered why she was afraid of Ningxu's eyes that day, because those eyes were too similar to her mother's!

Mo Xi felt uneasy. Her mother didn't like her in the first place. If she took a fancy to this maid, she would get less and less maternal love and benefits! She couldn't let this lowly maid stand out!

"Ah! Daddy, I know this slut. She openly threatened and provoked me last time. Daddy, you have to make the decision for me!"

The Second Madam was awakened by her exclamation and looked at Mo Xi in a slightly reproachful manner, "Xi'er, as a lady from a noble family, how can you say the word slut? Have you forgotten all the etiquette taught by the palace maids?!"

Mo Xi: "Mom~ She threatened me that day that the scar on her face was poisonous and she wanted to pass the poison to her daughter. It's not that my daughter is rude~"

Hearing the word "poison", the two masters looked at Ningxu warily. The second lady frowned, and the first lady and the other young masters and young ladies did not speak, but watched silently from the side.

Ningxu: "My Lord and Madam, I did say that that day, but the Fifth Miss slapped Zhu'er for no reason when we just met, and I made up a lie in a hurry, otherwise the second slap would have landed on my face."

Mo Xi: "I didn't! The other maids can testify! She's lying!"

Ning Xu ignored her. She had explained what needed to be explained. She didn't care whether Mo Xi believed it or not. After all, it was not Mo Xi who wanted to hear the explanation, but the several masters who were in charge of the Mo Palace.

The eldest master had already made up his mind after hearing the two people's contradictory statements. Mo Xi had been showing off her power in the Mo Palace for many years, and he had not punished her too much for the sake of his brother. It was obvious that Mo Xi wanted to bully the maid again, but she met a hard rock. She didn't get any benefits, so she wanted the elders to punish the maid.

The eldest lady would not believe Mo Xi. Zhu Er was her personal maid. She knew what kind of person Zhu Er was. She also knew what kind of person Mo Xi was. The day they were talking about should be the day when Ru Meng first entered the mansion. How could Ru Meng, a newcomer to the mansion, have the courage to threaten the master?

The Second Master looked a little embarrassed. He knew from the looks of his eldest brother and sister-in-law that Mo Xi was in trouble again. He wanted to ask the Second Madam to speak up for Mo Xi, but the Second Madam ignored his gaze and drank her tea calmly.

The second wife didn't like this daughter who looked nothing like her. She didn't inherit any of her good qualities, but all of her father's shortcomings. On the contrary, she liked this new cook very much. He was neither humble nor overbearing, and his personality and appearance were like hers.

Mo Xi: "Dad! She was the first to speak rudely that day. Please make the decision for your daughter, Dad!" Dad would help her with everything. She must make this bitch suffer today!

Second Master: "Enough. Xier. Why are you beating people in the mansion again! You knew that Zhu'er was close to your aunt, but when you beat her, did you ever think about your aunt's feelings?! Shut up, this is your fault, apologize to your aunt and this maid."

Mo Xi: "Dad?"

Second Master: “Apologize.”

Mo Xi looked at the second master with grievance, then looked at the second wife, and found that no one stood on her side. Yes, she did beat someone that day, but that bitch did threaten her with poison! Why didn't they believe it?

"I won't apologize! I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize? Humph!" Mo Xi became more and more excited, stood up and ran towards the inner courtyard.

The second master looked embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law. Xier was acting like a child. I apologize to you on her behalf." Then he went after Mo Xi.

The eldest master and the eldest lady shook their heads. Their Mo family was a martial arts family, and all their children were excellent. Some were rational businessmen, some were brave and good at fighting and became generals, and some were free to roam the world punishing evildoers. Why was everything different when it came to Mo Xi?

Ningxu looked at the Second Madam. The Second Madam had a very strong psychological quality. If I had a daughter like this, I would wish I died earlier.

Second Madam: "What's your name?" The surroundings finally became quiet and they could finally chat in peace.

Everything returned to normal, and everyone picked up their bowls and chopsticks again, listening carefully to the conversation between the Second Madam and Ningxu while eating.

Ningxu: "Madam, my name is Rumeng."

Second Madam: "Rumeng... it's a good name. Where do you live?"

Ningxu: "I am an orphan, and now I have a place to stay on Zhengnan Street."

The Second Madam: "Oh... your cooking is good. I called you here today to see what you look like. You will be the head of Prince Mo's Mansion in the future. There is no need to be so reserved."

Ningxu: “Yes.”

Ningxu returned to the kitchen happily. Although there was a small episode with Mo Xi, more and more people in the Mo Palace appreciated her, and she was very happy. Today, the Second Madam seemed to be quite satisfied with her. The Second Madam was a princess, so could she enter the palace? Entering the palace would give her a chance to get close to the Queen Mother. She also had to figure out what the Goddess was all about.

In Mo Xi's room, the table was filled with delicious food, which was obviously bought by the second master to cheer her up. "Rumeng... Humph, you slut, you want to take away my position in this mansion, I won't let you go!" Mo Xi poked the roast chicken in front of her with chopsticks, as if she had some deep hatred. She couldn't tolerate a maid taking away her longed mother's gaze!
