Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 5 Give me another chance

The daughter's illness, but she has experienced another life and death. Lu Rong stayed by the bed, listening to her daughter's breathing, and knowing that her daughter was fast asleep, Lu Rong picked up the bamboo stick, tapped the ground lightly, and walked out of her daughter's boudoir. .Just after Shangyuan, the moon in the night sky was slightly residual but bright. Standing under the eaves of the porch, Lu Rong raised her head slightly, as if she could also see the cold moonlight.

"Third Master, is this servant sending you off?"

Longan, Lu Mingyu's eldest maid, lowered her head and asked.The third master is blind, so Mo Zhu didn't come over tonight for some reason, and Gui Yuan was not at ease to let the third master go back to the room by himself.

"No, you take good care of the fourth girl." Lu Rong's voice was calm, as usual, calm and breezy. After instructing the maids here, Lu Rong walked along the corridor unhurriedly, alone, with a regular bamboo stick Touchdown was his only company.Longan and Ganlu looked at each other, their eyes were filled with disappointment, why did the third master and his wife become like this?

Lu Rong didn't understand either, but after hearing what his daughter said, he decided to take a step back. Since his wife didn't like Mo Zhu, he would find a home for Mo Zhu, and he couldn't stay cold with his wife because of a maid.

"The third master is back?" Mo Zhu has been waiting in front of the courtyard door, saw the master came back, Mo Zhu hurriedly greeted him with a lantern, first looked at the master anxiously, to make sure that the master did not fall, Mo Zhu did Relieved, he asked in a soft voice: "Third Master, is Fourth Miss okay?"

Lu Rong nodded, "Did you see Madam?"

Mo Zhu's face changed slightly. Since the couple had a big quarrel because of her, tonight was the first time that the third master took the initiative to inquire about his wife.Recalling the situation when Mrs. Xiao came back just now, Mo Zhu observed Lu Rong's expression and said: "Well, I came back two quarters of an hour ago, and I don't seem very happy...Third Master, in fact, Madam has been busy taking care of Fourth Miss recently. It's been hard work, if she has any omissions, can you bear with me?"

In terms of age, Mo Zhu is four years older than Lu Rong, and she was the maid chosen by the old man Lu Zhan for his son. In addition to being as careful as her hands and feet, her voice is even more gentle.From Lu Zhan's point of view, if his son is blind, his ears will be more sensitive. If he picks someone with an unpleasant voice, wouldn't it make his son suffer more?

And once the human voice is gentle, it is easy to be trusted.

Lu Rong never doubted Mo Zhu's loyalty to him. When he was just blind, the maids around him changed almost every day, and only Mo Zhu served him the best. He didn't ask questions that shouldn't be asked, and it was up to him to order.He had already made up his mind to arrange for Mo Zhu to leave the house, but now hearing Mo Zhu speak for Xiao Shi, Lu Rong suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt.

It's only natural for a maid to serve the master, but after more than ten years, he also has feelings for Mo Zhu, which has nothing to do with men and women, it's more like a family relationship.Mozhu is 29 years old, and noble girls get married in their fifteenth or sixteenth year, and the maids around them will also find someone in their twenties. It is rare for Mo Zhu to be a maid at such an age.Lu Rong once proposed to find a husband for Mo Zhu, but Mo Zhu said that he was worried about letting others serve him, and he was willing to be an old maid. When his wife came in, he was angry because Mo Zhu was angry, and Mo Zhu never said anything bad about his wife.

Now that he suddenly drives her away, his wife is very happy, Mo Zhu, how chilling is it?
"Third Master?"

Mo Zhu's doubtful voice came from next to his ear, Lu Rong returned to his senses, thought for a while, and said a little tiredly: "You go back to your room first, I'll go see my wife."

The matter his daughter confessed involved too much, and he had to discuss it with his wife.

After finishing speaking, Lu Rong leaned on a bamboo stick and walked towards the backyard. He didn't and could not notice the complexity in Mo Zhu's eyes behind him.

In the backyard, Mrs. Xiao hadn't slept yet, but asked the servant girl to turn off the lights inside and out.

The meaning of thanking the guests behind closed doors is obvious, but unfortunately Lu Rong couldn't see it, and came to the door of the main room familiarly, "Madam is asleep?"

Bitan bit her lip, and looked at Xiao's other maid, Qiuyue.

Qiuyue felt pity and resentment towards the blind third master, blaming him for ignoring Madam because of Mo Zhu, but she still hoped that the husband and wife would settle down, and since Madam's intentions were obvious tonight, Qiuyue said in a less enthusiastic manner: " Just about to rest, what's the matter with the third master?"

Lu Rong acquiesced, "Go pass it on." She didn't mind Qiuyue's attitude.

Qiuyue pretended to spread the word.

Bitan stayed outside the door, secretly looking at the third master who was dressed in a green robe like a banished fairy, how handsome, but unfortunately he is blind.

"What are you here for?"

In the inner room, Xiao Shi lay with his back facing the outside of the bed, and asked faintly.It is also good for her husband to be blind. You don't need to pay too much attention to etiquette in front of him. Anyway, it doesn't make any difference to him whether she is sitting upright or lying on her back. "I'm sleepy, so speak quickly."

Sitting on the chair beside the bed, Lu Rong smelled his wife's unique fragrance again. He was satisfied and longing, and couldn't help but miss the time when they were newly married. It seems to be drunk, that is only when the love is strong, the beautiful wife is in the arms, talking sweetly.

"I, Ah Nuan doesn't quite understand something, I want to ask you." Putting away Qi Nian, Lu Rong said in a low voice.

Xiao Shi closed her eyes and added about her daughter getting married.

Lu Rong is stupid, her daughter is married?
"Why Chu Sui?" Lu Rong knew less about Chu Sui than Xiao Shi because of his eyes. He wanted to know what makes Chu Sui so special.

How could Xiao Shi, a dead person, know?

"A Nuan is shy, so I didn't mention these things to me." With regard to her daughter's marriage, Mrs. Xiao slowly sat up and said in a deep voice, "Anyway, Ah Nuan was killed when she married into the Chu family. We must carefully consider it, it is best to change the family, even if it is still Chu Sui, we have to check out all the grievances of the family before agreeing to the marriage."

Lu Rong nodded, her eyes turned to the edge of the bed, "Don't worry, I will protect both Ajun and A Nuan this time."

Lu Rong had a younger sister named Lu Yun, who was exactly the same aunt that Lu Mingyu said was the aunt who entered the palace as a concubine and died of dystocia.

Xiao's eyes were lowered, and for a moment she wanted to tell Lu Rong that she was actually dead, and wanted to see what Lu Rong's expression would be.

But she was sensible enough to swallow the words back, "Is there anything else? It's getting late."

Under the sleeves, Lu Rong clenched his hands, one was his loyal servant who had served him for more than ten years, and the other was his wife who bore children for him.If one had to live up to a...

"Xianxian, Mo Zhu came to Lu's house to serve me at the age of 15. For so many years, there is no credit but also hard work. I want to pick a husband for her when my eyes are healed." Looking up, Lu Rong looked in his wife's direction and said , "Xianxian, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that I don't want others to talk behind your back."

He trusts his wife's heart, and leaves the matter to his wife, she will definitely find a good family for Mo Zhu, but Lu Rong doesn't want people to talk about his wife's lack of tolerance for the maids around him. If he arranges it himself, others will also arrange him .

Xiao Shi looked at him in surprise, this person is willing to give up his good maid?

As if he could see her thoughts, Lu Rong said sincerely: "Xianxian, you are the wife I am marrying, and I want to have a good time with you."

Xiao stared at him, she believed that Lu Rong was sincerely asking for peace, but she was still unhappy.

Is Lu Rong really willing to give up ink bamboo?No, if he could have both, he would continue to keep Mo Zhu to serve him. He proposed to marry Mo Zhu because he felt that Xiao Xianxian couldn't tolerate a maid. He, Lu Rong, only compromised for the sake of harmony between husband and wife and gave up his loyal maid. .In the future, when Mo Zhu is gone, it will also become a thorn in the husband's heart. Maybe one day the husband and wife quarrel, this thorn will come out and become a sharp weapon for the husband to criticize her.

Xiao's dislike of Mo Zhu is not because she is jealous of her husband's defense of Mo Zhu, but because Mo Zhu has too much heart and wants to control the front yard.

It is precisely because I have been serving Lu Rong for so long that I regard myself as the hostess of the front yard, right?
Any wife would not like such a maid.

If Mo Zhu behaved peacefully, she hated Mo Zhu out of jealousy, Xiao Shi would be very satisfied if her husband promised to send Mo Zhu away at this time, and would happily pull Lu Rong to bed to reward him.But Mo Zhu was restless, and she, Xiao Xianxian, was not just a jealous wife. Lu Rong's desire for peace was true, but he looked down on her.

"Why do you want to marry Mo Zhu?"

Xiao Shi got out of bed, and before Lu Rong was startled and ready to get up, he sat on Lu Rong's lap affectionately, hugging his neck with both hands.Lu Rong's whole body was stiff, his wife's soft body, her body fragrance, and her coquettish tone all stimulated him.His hands trembled faintly, and he wanted to hug his wife, but he was afraid that he would make a mistake.

"Third Master, do you think I hate Mo Zhu?" Xiao leaned on the man's shoulder, whispered softly, and asked herself, "Actually, I don't hate her. She has taken good care of you for so many years. I am sincerely grateful to her. I just I'm jealous that she can serve you up close, but I can't as a wife..."

So the wife thought so?
Lu Rong couldn't bear it any longer, and hugged her tightly with both hands, "Xianxian, I don't want to wrong you for doing that, it's not that she is the only one who won't allow you..."

"How can it be a grievance for a wife to take care of her husband?" Xiao said resentfully.

Lu Rong pursed her lips, not knowing how to explain it, the more she cared, the less she wanted to show her incompetence in front of her.

Xiao didn't particularly care about the answer, she sighed, and her voice became more relaxed, "Fortunately, Ah Nuan is lucky to have met a miracle doctor, and when Ah Nuan cures you, the third master will be able to see again, and Mo Zhu will be an ordinary maid. Serve the tea and pour the water, as long as the third master stops being special to her, how can I be jealous of her?"

What she was dissatisfied with from the beginning to the end was that her husband was blinded by Mo Zhu and made her jealous?Mo Zhu's beauty is not enough for her qualifications.

The misunderstanding was cleared up, and there was no need to go against my conscience to drive the old man away. Lu Rong was both surprised and happy, and quickly assured his wife, "Xianxian, don't worry, when my eyes are healed, only she can't do to me, and there is nothing you can't do." .”

She will never know how much he wants to see him choose clothes for her and see her pick up vegetables for him.

"Xianxian..." There was hope in his eyes, his wife forgave him, and the longing that had been suppressed for many years had an outlet. Lu Rong held his wife's cheek tremblingly, and bowed his head to kiss him.

Xiao Shi looked at the handsome face of the man above his head like jade, his gaze changed again and again, and he endured it.

For the sake of his face and the fact that he still has medicine to save him.

The long-lost movement gradually came from the inner room, and Qiuyue secretly smiled outside, still a little shy.Bitan looked at the window of the upper room, her expression was difficult to discern in the darkness, while Mo Zhu stood alone at the door in the front yard, waiting for a long time, but she still didn't wait for her third master to come back.It was the third watch, Mo Zhu finally gave up, turned around, and saw her shadow elongated by the moonlight on the ground.

She bit her lip and hurried back to the room.
