Chapter 11
I bit my lip and knelt down on the cold bluestone ground without saying a word.

Uncle and godfather panicked, and they wanted to speak at the same time, but Mother stopped her with a wave of her hand. At this moment, she didn't know why, and her voice sounded very weak, fluttering like a candle in the wind: "Let her It's okay to reflect on yourself, you and I will not be able to protect her for the rest of my life, Huai Su in the future, whether she will become a phoenix or a bird, whether she is virtuous or not, depends on whether she can truly repent."

I lowered my head and thought about what my mother said, but I felt that it was strange, was it because my mother's tone was so sad that it made me uneasy?Suddenly there was a plop, someone knelt down beside me and said loudly: "I don't care about Su, I wanted to grab the jade pendant, and Huai Su missed it. Please don't punish Huai Su, Auntie, you should punish me!"

Hey!I cursed in my heart, Mu Xin, this silly boy, disaster has already happened, one kneeling, two kneeling too, why do you need an extra pair of knees to suffer?I really don't know how to calculate.

Before the mother could speak, the uncle raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Okay, you boy, I already know that you are a troublemaker, why didn't you say it earlier? Will Huai Su be punished?"

Mu Xin poked her neck and said louder than his old man, "I will definitely say it!" After speaking, she looked at me, her face full of grievances.

I sighed in my heart, this kid is also a genius, knowing that my godfather and uncle love me and won't punish me, so I simply let me take care of it, but I didn't expect my mother to kill me suddenly, it can be considered that he has a bit of backbone, and he doesn't want to be sheltered by women.

Uncle glared at Mu Xin: "Then you kneel on behalf of my sister! Huai Su, get up."

I shook my head, and my mother had already said lightly: "Brother, after all, Huai Su had something to do, and he is responsible for himself. If a man can do it, a daughter can't?"

Uncle was speechless.

Mother looked down at me, and I suddenly felt that her eyes were strange and deep, full of meanings that shocked me: "You are here to meditate on your own past... No one from the Tibetan Crow Bieyuan called you, you Don't get up."

I didn't have time to think about my mother's slightly weird words, my mother had already straightened up, saluted each of my godfather and uncle, and then walked towards the layman without saying a word, I watched her meandering back, straight and slender, slowly Slowly walking out of my sight, the afternoon breeze rolled up the corner of her silk robe, revealing a pure white skirt. The corner of the skirt looked a little dark red from a distance. I actually intuit that such a warm and beautiful figure is going to go far away, out of my life, forever and ever.

"Mom!" I cried out in pain as if I was parting from life and death, and I fell on the ground trembling all over, hoping that she would look back at me to reassure me, but she didn't turn her head back, and gradually drifted away until she disappeared. At the corner of the corridor.

My uncle and godfather thought I was afraid of punishment, so they begged my mother, and they all stepped forward to help me up: "Huai Su, don't be afraid, your mother is gone anyway, and no one will know when you get up."

I lay dead on the ground, digging through the cracks in the blue bricks with my fingers: "No!"

The godfather was stunned, and went to see his uncle, but his uncle gave a wry smile, knowing that I am round and round inside, and has always respected and loved my mother the most, so he would never disobey her in the slightest, so he shook his head: "Forget it, wait for Wu Xu to get angry. If it disappears, Huai Su will naturally wake up, she always loves her very much."

Just as he was talking, someone hurried in and whispered something to his uncle, his uncle's expression changed and he looked at his godfather.

The godfather was calm: "Is someone from the capital?"

The uncle looked a little embarrassed: "Yes, I am looking after you in the study."

Godfather nodded: "Very good, there are too many people here, go to the study to be quiet." He looked at Yun who was sleeping in the inner room, and then at us kneeling, sighed, and left first.

Uncle ordered his servants to prepare mattresses for us, and told them not to forget dinner, so he left with us.

The sun passed through the partition window and was divided into countless gold-like pieces, which fell on the smooth stone ground in front of us. Although it was broken, we could still see the light slanting westward, until it sank into darkness for most of the day. passed.

Kneeling on the ground, I felt my knees go from soreness to numbness, then from numbness to stiffness. After the stiffness passed, needle-like pains rushed out, wave after wave, endlessly, spreading, as if the whole body was It's numb.

Turning to look at Mu Xin, his face was very ugly, he was gently beating his knee with his fist, but the more he beat, the more he grinned.

I curled my lips: "Idiot, you don't need to beat it, you are really uncomfortable, so just rub it yourself."

Mu Xin was stunned for a moment, and then she rubbed her hands seriously. I'm a little surprised, this kid, he doesn't always love to oppose me, but he sometimes listens to me.

Abduct him with his arm: "Hey, silly boy, why did you jump out earlier?"

I couldn't see the boy's expression clearly in the dark, but I could vaguely feel the light in his eyes: "I'm a big man, standing upright, how can I let you bear all the crimes alone."

I laughed: "Yes, a man who stands up to the sky, may I ask what is the sound in your stomach? How can it be so loud?"

"Goo!" As if in response to my teasing, Mu Xin's stomach groaned again with great confidence.

Even in the dark, I knew that Mu Xin's face was blushing, I even felt that hot breath, and thought evilly: Bring an egg, maybe it can be boiled?
After teasing Mu Xin for a while, the lingering intuition of worry in my heart faded slightly, and I realized that I straightened my waist, and it was rare to comfort Mu Xin with kindness: "Don't worry, it's coming soon, your father's birthday party tonight, whoever is here There are too many, the kitchen and the servants seem to be busy, so they can't take care of us for a while."

Before the words were finished, the door was pushed open with a creak, and Qiu Chan from the small kitchen in the backyard came in with a food box. The fragrance of the vegetables was lingering, and it aroused people's greedy insects from a distance. Mu Xin cheered, and jumped on impulse I got up, but immediately softened with an ouch, and my legs went numb.

Someone came over, helped Mu Xin, and said in a clear voice, "Fourth brother, stay safe and don't get bored."

I turned my head to look, and I could vaguely identify Mu Sheng, why is he here?
Mu Sheng looked at us with his usual sophistication: "I heard that you were punished, let me come and see, let's not eat, Qiu Chan brought it here."

Qiu Chan lit up the gauze lantern, and the reddish light in the room was dimly lit, making people blush brightly. She was a pretty and clever woman, and she smiled as she took out the dishes: "The servant is helping in the kitchen, everyone is busy. I didn't touch the ground, I almost forgot to deliver food to the young master and miss, thanks to the reminder from the second young master."
