Fragrant willow catkins

The room was silent...

Ningxu struggled, not knowing what to do.

"Did you catch any fish?" The Second Lady suddenly asked, and Ningxu's heart sank.

Ningxu: "What?"

The second lady was still smiling, "I said, did you catch any fish?"

Ningxu: "Yes, we even roasted it and ate it."

Second Lady: "Did you have fun?"

Ningxu nodded stupidly, but the smile on the Second Madam's face did not diminish.

In a blink of an eye, the second lady saw the little thing on Ningxu's right little finger, "That ring is very beautiful. Was it also given by your friend?"

Ningxu raised her hand and looked at her ring. She finally came to her senses and smiled. "Well, he just likes to make little gadgets."

Second Madam: "That child has good cooking skills. Are you close to him?"

"Yeah." Ningxu blushed a little embarrassedly.

The Second Madam also noticed her change and immediately caught the hint of gossip, "You...are not just ordinary friends, right?"

Ningxu: "Why would the Second Madam say that?"

Second Lady: "Whenever you mention him, the smile on your face never disappears."

Ningxu raised her hand and touched her face. No...

Second wife: "Can you tell me about it? I can also consult you." The child has grown up and has more worries, which he can't hide at all. What should I do?

"Hmm..." Ningxu was originally vague about love. She liked Li Jinze before, not only because he was handsome, but more because he had a kind of temperament that deeply attracted her, which made her feel very safe and felt that she had no worries around him and she would always be happy.

Now she met Sanye. Although Sanye had the same face as Li Jinze, his temperament was slightly different. Sanye was more cheerful and expressed his feelings to her more passionately. He had his own ideas and judgments, and he was willing to give everything for his beloved. Ningxu also didn't need to worry about troubles when she was with him, and she was always happy.

This made Ningxu very conflicted. Did she regard Sanye as a substitute for Li Jinze, or did she like a completely new person?

Ningxu: "Second Madam, do you know what it feels like to be loved?" Ningxu asked somewhat dejectedly. She couldn't find anyone to answer this question, as the only person she was close to who was married was the Second Madam.

The second lady was a little surprised. She thought the boy had already succeeded, but it seems he still has a long way to go!

Second Madam: "My master and I have been childhood sweethearts. When we reached the appropriate age, the Queen Mother granted us marriage. It has been 20 to 30 years now. When you like someone, you look forward to doing the things you want to do, seeing the scenery you want to see, and going to the places you want to go."

Ningxu: "What if... there's not much time left?"

The second wife paused, "Then you should hurry up and spend time together. Love is not about time, it's about your heart."

Looking at the Second Madam's gentle smile, Ningxu seemed to have made a decision in her heart.

Li Jinze would definitely hope that she could live a good life...

Now that you have met your soulmate, why not cherish him or her?

What's more, Li Ze doesn't have much time left.

Ningxu: "Second Madam!" She suddenly stood up from the bed, "I understand!"

The next day, the sun was shining brightly. As expected, without Mo Xi in Prince Mo's mansion, everyone in the mansion felt refreshed.

Today, Ningxu had just arrived at the Second Madam's courtyard. As soon as she entered Mo Tang's room, she found that he was not in the room. She looked for him elsewhere in the courtyard, but could not find him. Ningxu came to the door of the Second Madam's room to ask. Before she knocked on the door, she saw the Second Madam walking in from outside the courtyard.

"Hey, Rumeng, are you looking for me?"

Ningxu turned around and saw the second lady looking happy, "Well, I went to look for the young master and found that he was not in the room."

"Oh, yes, look at my memory, I should have told you yesterday, but I forgot. Tang'er starts school today, so you don't have to come so early in the future." Yesterday, I was gossiping with Rumeng about her love history, and I forgot about Mo Tang.

Ningxu: "Then...what will I be responsible for every day in the future?"

Second Madam: "Hmm..." Second Madam thought about it. She had asked Rumeng to come here in the first place because she wanted her to take care of Mo Tang. But now Mo Tang's personality has improved a lot and he is willing to go to school. She is reluctant to let Rumeng go back to the kitchen to work. So what excuse should she find to keep her here? ...

The second wife put her hands on her waist and wondered what kind of leisurely things there were in the courtyard...

Or maybe it's something the Mo family usually does...

"By the way, Rumeng, do you know martial arts?" The second wife suddenly had an idea.

Ningxu: “A little bit.”

Second Madam: "Okay, come with me, let's go watch the master practice swordplay." Second Madam took Ningxu's hand and walked out of the yard. The Mo family usually practiced swordplay at home, practicing the Mo family's unique Yuluo swordplay. She could ask the master to give Rumeng the secret book of Yuluo swordplay, and use it as an excuse to make her a guard in her yard, so that Rumeng could live a leisurely life in the mansion without thinking too much.

There is a large open space in the backyard of Prince Mo's mansion, which is where the Mo family practices martial arts. There is also a bamboo forest behind the martial arts training ground, and further in is where Old Master Mo is currently in seclusion.

When the Second Madam and Ningxu arrived, the Second Master was practicing swordplay in the open space. The Second Madam took Ningxu to sit down at the round table. After the Second Master finished practicing a set of swordplay, he happily ran to the Second Madam. This was the first time in more than 20 years that the Second Madam came to see him practice swordplay, so he was naturally delighted.

Second Master: "Madam, why are you interested in watching me practice sword today?"

The Second Madam: "You give the Featherfall Sword Technique to Rumeng. I want to promote her to be the chief of my guards."

Ningxu: Hmm?

Second Master: Hmm?

Both of them were very surprised. Ningxu thought that the Second Madam wanted her to be a sparring partner for the Second Master, so she asked her if she knew martial arts.

Second Master: "Madam, the Feather Falling Sword Technique is the sword technique passed down from the ancestors of the Mo family. It might not be a good idea to teach it to an outsider..."

The Second Madam glanced at him unhappily, "What do you mean by outsider? Rumeng has been working in Prince Mo's mansion for a few months, so how come she is not considered a member of the Mo family?"

Second Master: "But... the Feather Fall Sword Technique emphasizes fate. Even if someone without fate practices it, it will not be able to play any role at all, just like not practicing it at all."

The Second Madam naturally didn't care about these things. Practicing sword skills was just an excuse. She didn't care whether Rumeng was her destined lover or not. She just wanted to protect Rumeng in her courtyard. "I don't care. You have to teach me."

"This..." The second master looked at the second wife with a helpless and frustrated look. The Mo family's ancestral precepts were not to pass on knowledge to outsiders. If his father knew about this, he would definitely break his legs. The second master frowned at the second wife, and then looked into the depths of the bamboo forest with some fear.

How can this be good...

"Second Master, was that the Yuluo Sword Technique you just practiced?" Ningxu was worried that the two would turn against each other because of her, so she thought about saying something else to ease the atmosphere.
