Chapter 20
When Mo Shiwu left the palace, she only carried a burden on her body. She had the token rewarded by the emperor, and she could enter and exit freely. The Luolanyuan would be reserved for her in the future, but she might not come back again.

The emperor sent her a carriage, and Mo Shiwu readily accepted it.

When he returned to the General's Mansion, although Mo Shiwu couldn't believe it, he didn't expect that it would turn into the dilapidated state it is now when it was so glorious in the past.

The plaque inscribed by the emperor himself was quite crooked back then, but there were not a lot of spider webs. There were gaps on the pillars at the door, and there was a lot of moss on the steps, which still smelled damp. The door of the General’s Mansion was even crooked. , was half open, and it could be seen from the crack in the door that there was no life in it.

The places that normal people can get are not very dirty, at most they are dilapidated. Mo Shiwu hasn't returned to the General's Mansion for three years. Who is cleaning it secretly?
"Hey, who is that, why is it in front of the general's mansion."

"Let's go, let's go, the general's mansion is so dilapidated, there's nothing to see." Several people passing by left without looking at them. Mo Shiwu wore a veil and didn't pay attention to what they said.

Seeing Mo Shiwu get off the car, the coachman left the place without looking back, his eyes were full of sneering, probably mocking her for not waiting in the imperial palace, but why she wants to come back to such a cold place, really is out of her mind.

Mo Shiwu could see his expressions and movements, and Mo Shiwu didn't waste time on a coachman, and walked to the door of the General's Mansion with his bag, and knocked on the door tentatively.

There was no response for a long while, and no one was seen. Just when Mo Shiwu was about to open the door and go in, the old man shouted from inside.

"It's coming! It's so early in the morning, why are you urging me again!" When the old butler opened the door and saw Mo Shiwu yelling at the top of his voice, he looked surprised, not knowing who the person in front of him was.

"Which lady is this again? There is nothing in the general's mansion, don't come!" Mo Shiwu didn't understand what the old housekeeper said. rush?"

Hearing Mo Shiwu's voice, the butler, who was dressed in rough clothes, had a big beard, and looked tired, immediately regained his spirits. He looked at Mo Shiwu in disbelief, his eyes widened.

"You are the eldest lady?" For three years, Mo Shiwu has stayed in the palace honestly and never returned to the mansion. Now that she is back, the old butler looks happy, but this joy is immediately dispelled by worry.

"Are you really the eldest lady?" He was relieved when he heard that the eldest lady lived a good life in the palace. Since two years ago, there has been no one in the general's mansion, and only he, the old man, is left in the general's mansion. .

When he was on the street a few days ago, he was also there, and he had been hiding among the people. When defending Mo Shiwu later, he also yelled a few words.

He originally thought that Mo Shiwu's going to the palace would be bad or bad, but he didn't expect that she would go back to the general's mansion. For her, staying in the palace in the future is full of variables, let alone returning to the general's mansion.

Mo Shiwu smiled lightly, and took off the head curtain. When the old housekeeper saw the scar on her face, he burst into tears, and his eyes were full of distress. I have never been through such hardships before. God really has no eyes. It is really a crime to let such a pure and kind girl become like this!
"Miss is really Miss, come in quickly, miss." The old butler opened the door completely, and invited Mo Shiwu in. Mo Shiwu was not pretentious, and walked into the general's mansion, and the old butler closed the door. The closed door.

Mo Shiwu looked at the appearance of the general's mansion, and it was indeed similar to the outside, without any decorations. It can be said to be an empty mansion. It is not surprising that Mo Shiwu is said to have dispersed all the servants, because a mansion has no master. It seems that there is no motivation to live, so the servants will leave.

But why there is no such thing as furniture? These are doubtful. What happened to the General's Mansion in the past few years?
The old butler was still wiping away his tears, his breathing was short of breath, he was up and down, and his face turned red, he didn't look like he was pretending, this butler Mo Shiwu had some impressions, when the original owner was in the general's mansion, he had been serving him all the time General, he is kind to his servants, he is very kind to his wife and the original owner, and he loves the former Mo Shiwu as his own child.

The butler is nearly fifty years old, and his beard is all gray. It seems that he has worked hard on a lot of things. He has no children. When he was young and downhearted, the general kindly took him in, so the other servants left, and he stayed here. In the general's mansion, the general's mansion is cleaned from time to time.

"Housekeeper Xu, thank you for your hard work." Mo Shiwu remembered the old housekeeper's surname, his tone was not as cold as usual, and his eyes were full of appreciation and relief.

Steward Xu seemed to have been waiting for so many years just to get such a sentence. The heavy burden in his heart seemed to be relieved a little. A man, tears flowed down uncontrollably, his eyes became red and swollen, he couldn't cry, he could only nod again and again. Respond to Mo Shiwu's appreciation and appeasement.

"Since I, Mo Shiwu, are back, this General's Mansion will not continue to be dilapidated like this!" Looking at the crying Butler Xu and the empty General's Mansion, Mo Shiwu was full of momentum, and said something that shocked Butler Xu.

The Mo Shiwu in Xu Butler's impression has always been docile and well-behaved, and she suddenly said such a sentence, which made Xu Butler believe that she has become stronger since the day Mo Shiwu was in the execution ground. No longer at the mercy of others.

It's easy to say, but they only have an empty house now. Butler Xu knew it would not be easy, but he didn't want to hurt Mo Shiwu, so he frowned and smiled obediently.

Mo Shiwu could see that he didn't fully believe in himself, and he wasn't angry, and planned to take a good look around the general's mansion before making detailed plans.

Steward Xu asked to take her around, but before he could leave, there was a loud noise from outside the mansion.

"Mo Shiwu, come out for us. After so many years in the palace, you are finally willing to come back. Hurry up and come out to meet our relatives!"

As soon as the words fell, the closed gate of the General's Mansion was knocked open, and three or four elderly women broke in wearing tacky clothes, and all kinds of low-quality gold and silver jewelry were hung on their bodies, and they jingled as they walked. , their wrinkled faces, with complacent anger and disdainful eyes, came straight to Mo Shiwu.

Mo Shiwu looked at these people who broke in suddenly, her eyes gradually turned cold, and even Butler Xu who was beside her felt a chill.
