Xie Chaochao bowed slightly to him.

"It's Mr. Su. How are you?"

Su Mo nodded. "How are you, Miss Xie? I didn't expect that we would meet again."

Chu Heng always felt that something was not right, so he quickly walked between the two people, separating their line of sight.

I don’t know why, but I always feel that Su Mo’s coming here today is not so simple, as if he came here for someone.

He said with a slight smile.

"What happened today? Tell me about it!"

"It's nothing serious, actually. It's mainly because Huasheng wants to do something but doesn't know where to go. He wants to go hunting but is afraid someone is waiting for him, so he wants to send someone to protect him."

After hearing this, General Chu roughly understood what was going on.

"Why? You suspected that we were the ones who wanted to kill him last time, but now you don't think so! So you came to us just to ask us to protect him?"

Su Mo nodded.

“There are problems in this regard.”

"So I want to hear your opinions. What do you think?"

"In fact, I didn't recommend you, because I know that you must hate the emperor now."

Chu Heng felt that this person really had self-awareness.

That’s right, how many people in this world don’t hate the emperor?

People outside wanted to kill him, and the people there couldn't protect him, and they were also slandering him, and they wanted to kill him.

No matter which side you are on, you won't feel good.

Not to mention the situation of the Chu family.

Now they only need a reason and a name to disappear here immediately.

So at this moment, the family members have completely different moods.

I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen and everyone will die as a result.

Su Mo naturally knew the current situation of this family.

Sitting aside leisurely.

"Everyone, please take a seat. I'm here today for no other reason than to discuss something with you. If possible, I'd like everyone to leave."

“Avoid the walls having ears.”

Well, that's natural.

After all, the people around them are not on the same page as them. If something really happens, it will be terrible.

Besides, what they are talking about now must be capital crimes.

Then it's even more impossible to say anything.

Xie Chaochao stood aside and did not sit down, but General Chu Hengchu and Mrs. Chu sat down and turned to look at her with some doubt.

"Why don't you come over?"

Xie Chaochao walked to the other side and said, "I'll go get some food."

After speaking, he left.

I don't want to listen, but I feel that if I don't listen, it will be more conducive to the discussion among their family. If there are any problems in the future, I can think of countermeasures.

You can also leave and observe the surroundings to see if anyone is eavesdropping.

Having made up my mind, I went to the small kitchen.

I couldn't help but think of Chu Heng's ability to make peach blossom pastry.

Turning back to ask Pei'er, "Is the peach blossom cake made by General Xiao Chu delicious?"

Pei'er's eyes sparkled, and she nodded immediately, "It's delicious! It's very delicious, and it's made with the freshest peach blossoms. Madam, you've seen that there are many peach trees in our house, and every time they bloom, many petals fall."

"General Xiao Chu is a sentimental person, and he felt it was a pity that all the peach blossoms had fallen, so he led us to pick up all the peach blossoms, put them in a basket, and made these peach blossom cakes."

"You're right, it's delicious."

Xie Chaochao also wanted to learn how to do it, but was afraid that he might not be able to do it, so he hesitated for a long time.

"To be honest, I want to make it, but I also don't want to make it. I'm always afraid that this peach blossom pastry will fail."

When Pearl heard this, she burst into laughter.

"Madam, you don't have to be so nervous. General Xiao Chu can't do it either."

"And you have to make it many times before you can get it right. Some are either too sweet or too mushy. Some are just right, but there's no chance."

Xie Chaochao relaxed only when he thought of this.

Because I want to try it myself.

But now I didn't know how to make it. Just as I was about to speak, Pei'er had already told me the recipe.

Xie Chaochao couldn't help but admire.

It must be because she has been with me for too long that a little girl can become so smart.

Seems to know exactly what he wants.

I couldn't help but smile softly, "Pei'er, you are so nice."

"I feel like I'm not afraid of anything when you're here with me. Thank you."

When Pei'er heard this, she couldn't help laughing.

No matter what happened, I felt happy right now.

Because I was praised.

He scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Madam, please don't say that. It really makes me feel so embarrassed."

"I always feel like I have made a lot of contributions. But in fact, I have made no contributions. I absolutely have no contributions."

"Madam, all the credit goes to you, because it was you who made this thing, right?"

Xie Chaochao couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

I think what you said is very right. I am indeed right.

He nodded immediately.

"Maybe you're right, but if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am now."

"So, you are still very important. Absolutely very important."

Pearl was a little flattered.

I have served so many people, but only this person has praised me.

No one else praised me.

I felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, and tears started falling down.

Xie Chaochao saw it and was a little surprised, and immediately pulled the person over.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying like this? Did I say something wrong?"

"No...it's just the first time someone praised me. My father and mother have never praised me before. I'm happy."

Xie Chaochao thought he had said something wrong.

It turns out that it was the joy of being praised.

Xie Chaochao suddenly became curious at this time, "So you have a father and a mother? Where are your father and mother now?"

"They are now in the countryside. Because my family is poor, they sold me out early and asked me to come here to work, and then send money back home every month."

“Then you should have a lot of money.”

Xie Chaochao was also very curious.

Pei'er nodded. "I didn't have much money before, but since I started serving the Madam, I have more money, and almost everyone thinks highly of me."

"The money sent back every month is also quite a lot."

Xie Chaochao was relieved now.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, you can treat this place as your own home. You don't have to worry so much."

"Okay, got it ma'am."

Pearl wiped her tears and smiled.

Xie Chaochao felt very distressed. Only then did he realize that Pei'er was actually about the same age as him. Unfortunately, their fates and lives were different, which led to great changes in them.
