Chapter 20
Mu Shilan may be busy and tired, but the expression on his face is always light, it is hard to say whether he is happy or unhappy.

After finally settling down the serious master, Jia took the time to say something to Mu Shilan, "Master, we have come all this way, why are we not very happy to see Uncle and Sister-in-law? Up to now we still have tea and dinner. Didn't take a bite."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Shilan interrupted, "Who do you think you are? This is your own home, do you need to be so particular about it? Brother and sister-in-law are so busy that they can't stay at home all day long. At this time, why don't you go home?" Pick and choose, do you think this is your family who makes you look so high? You really have long hair and short knowledge, and you have never seen the world!"

It's only been a year since I parted with my husband Mu Shilan, why does he speak in such a tone?
Jia Shi only felt tears rolling in her eyes, but she was afraid of being seen by the servants in the house, so she tried her best to hold back.

Mu Shilan felt that what she said was a bit too serious, stomped her feet and walked forward, saying, "Whatever you want to eat and drink, you won't let the servants go to the kitchen to get it. Is it Miss Qianjin who can't leave the house and has to be fed in?"

Regardless of Jia Shi's mood when he first arrived, he went into the upper room on his own.

Jia Shi stood there in a daze, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and reluctantly supported the girl's hand to the small broken courtyard.

Mu Caiwei was leaning on the bedside and reading a book about farming brought from home.Their ancestors were small vendors, and later they bought hundreds of acres of fertile land. They didn't know much about farming, so they collected a lot of such books.

Later, both uncle and father went out to be officials to study, and the books at home were piled up and no one liked to read them. Unexpectedly, it was right for Mu Caiwei's appetite.

Hearing the door creak and being pushed open, Mu Caiwei realized that Jia Shi came in tremblingly. As soon as she entered the door, she couldn't stop crying.

Mu Caiwei looked at her expression carefully, and saw that her face was pale, as if she had been angered.

Her heart skipped a beat, could it be that her father took a concubine so soon?She remembered that in her last life, after she came to Beijing, her mother was unable to bear children for many years, so she took a concubine for her father and gave birth to a son to inherit the incense.

She lightly patted Jia Shi's back to calm her down, without asking why.

Anyway, when she is sad, she will naturally say it when she has cried enough.

Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, Jia stopped crying and complained to her intermittently, "Do you think your father has changed his mind? You just won the exam, and the official hasn't given it yet, so he doesn't want to see me anymore. Said that my hair is long but my knowledge is short, and I have never seen the world. I have never seen the world, and I am not as noble as his sister-in-law, but we are also married couples. I think he was nothing when I married him. There is nothing more than a few acres of land in my family, how can it compare to the wealth of our family? Who knows that it has only been two years, he, he just looks at me like this..."

As she said that, the tears couldn't stop rolling down again, and Mu Caiwei could only feel her heart pounding when she cried, and subconsciously felt that his father had indeed changed his mind.

Otherwise, they have been here for a long time, even if they can't see anyone, they should send a message from the servants.What's more, he has come back now, why didn't he come to see their mother and daughter?

This is unreasonable.

Right now, the only way to make sense is to think of it this way, that is, his father has someone outside, and he doesn't miss their mother and daughter in his heart.

I didn't expect things to come so fast!

She clenched her hands tightly on both sides, and her lips were tightly pressed together. Listening to Jia Shi's crying in pain, she secretly made up her mind.

After all, she is not the original Mu Caiwei, and she will not let others rub her flat.

In the previous life, that Mu Caiwei couldn't protect herself, let alone her child, which caused Jia's death along with her.

In this life, she has enough confidence to tide over the difficulties and let Jia Shi live a good life.Don't even try to succeed, Auntie!
After finally comforting Mrs. Jia, Mu Caiwei hurriedly ordered the girl to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat, and then asked what the serious masters in front were doing.

About a moment later, the little girl came over with a food box, but it was the leftovers from other households.

Something is better than nothing, Mu Caiwei hurriedly sat down with Jia Shi and ate slowly.

The little girl whispered back that her uncle and aunt were having dinner, and asked if she saw her father, but the little girl shook her head but no.

Both Mu Caiwei and Jia Shi wondered, he didn't accompany his uncle and aunt, let alone come here, where did he go?
Jia Shi also seemed to be aware of something abnormal, afraid that her daughter would be worried, she didn't dare to show it, she just silently held the bowl and ruthlessly picked the rice grains.

At night, Mu Shilan didn't come back, let alone sent a letter.

Jia's mother and daughter rested all night indiscriminately.

When she got up the next day, she inquired about it, and found out that her uncle had brought her father and aunt into the palace again, so she let someone bring some food to the kitchen and ate them hastily, then leaned on the head of the bed and lost her mind.

Caiwei rested overnight and felt that the sleepiness along the way was relieved, so she wanted to go outside to have a look.

The weather in Yingtian Mansion is much hotter than in Daming Mansion, so it will be cooler in the morning and evening. Before the sun is too bright after breakfast, let's go out for a walk.

She took the little girl's pendant and said to Jia Shi and went out.

Having lived here for more than half a year in the previous life, he is no stranger to the halls and pavilions in the Natural Mansion.

After leaving the dilapidated small courtyard where they lived, they walked along a gravel path and arrived at Xikuayuan.

Yesterday I followed the housekeeper all the way in, and I didn't take a closer look. Looking at it today, I feel that the west courtyard is not small. There are three main rooms, and the east and west are wing rooms and side rooms. There are more than a dozen rooms, which is enough for a family. .

It's just that there are only a few sweeping women in it now, and no one seems to live there.

Seeing Mu Caiwei coming over, the women looked at each other, and one of them, a thick woman in her 40s, stepped forward to salute, and said with a smile, "Miss, do you want to go around? It's just that the house is not peaceful these days. , girl, don't run around!"

What she said made Caiwei feel extremely uncomfortable.

how?Although she is not the serious master here, she is always the uncle's niece, so why not hang around at home?
Could it be that the aunt had ordered them not to move around?

There was a sneer on her clear and beautiful face, and when she stared at the woman with a half-smile on her cheeks, she asked lightly: "Both uncle and aunt are not at home, are they?" Did you specifically order me not to walk around at will?"

This question is very explicit, how could the woman not understand the meaning here?
She laughed again and again, and replied in a low voice, "How dare this old slave give false orders? How could the master and wife have such an order? It's just that the eldest lady is busy, and the second lady is sick, so there is no one to accompany her. The young lady just came to the mansion Come on, if you get lost and can’t find it, it’s bad.”

Although the woman was polite and had a smile on her face, what she said made Caiwei feel uncomfortable no matter how she heard it.
