Leng Xiao's indifferent eyes swept over Carter's body, and the same cold voice slowly came out from the thin lips. Although the tone was not heavy, it was filled with a kind of coldness.
"Carter ate some almonds scattered in the yard and threw up."
He didn't give Liu's mother a chance to explain, and ruthlessly ordered: "I don't want to see them again in the future."
"this..."
Ma Liu glanced at the two servants. They both came from the countryside and finally found a job in Lengzhai. The whole family relied on them to make ends meet. They suddenly lost their jobs. I really didn’t know what to do. But
Although she felt sympathy in her heart, she was helpless. Just when she didn't know how to speak, she heard a clear word that seemed to be mixed with forbearing emotions, clanking behind her.
"I threw those almonds, don't punish them."
Leng Xiao turned his head slightly and saw Qiu Mo wearing a long white dress standing on the bluestone path. Her long black hair was casually tied into a ponytail on her head. At first glance, she looked absolutely beautiful.
She put a hand gently on her lower abdomen, looked at Leng Xiao firmly and repeated: "I threw the almond, if you want to punish me, just punish me."
"Young Mistress." The two servants looked at her with some worry and some gratitude. Those almonds were indeed asked by Qiu Mo to be dried in the sun. She wanted to use them to grind almond powder, but they accidentally dropped some on the lawn.
On the road, Carter picked it up and ate it. Unprocessed almonds were poisonous, so Carter vomited.
But the fault is theirs, and there is no reason for the young mistress to bear the responsibility. The young master is not kind to the young mistress, and he will not let her off easily just because she is the mistress of this house.
The two servants were about to argue for Qiu Mo, but she stopped them with her eyes in time. She knew Leng Xiao and knew that it was useless to say anything now.
Leng Xiao's eyes lowered and fell on Carter beside him. He was in very bad spirits because he had vomited in the morning.
He didn't speak, and everyone didn't even dare to breathe. Time seemed to have frozen, like prisoners waiting for the judge's decision.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally pulled off Carter's metal chain and led him towards the main house. The tall and handsome figure in a black shirt showed a trace of coldness. His voice was also cold and ruthless.
Each word fell on everyone's heart, as if being hit by a big hailstone.
"You like to be in the limelight so much, then just stand here and wait for when Carter gets better and when you go back to the house."
Mother Liu was so anxious that she almost blurted out: "Master, Mistress, she is pregnant..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she was stopped by Leng Xiao's sudden footsteps. Mother Liu's heart was beating so hard that she became speechless.
No one dared to speak anymore. Leng Xiao paused for a while and led Carter away.
Qiu Mo lowered her head, and the hand that had been covering her lower abdomen slowly moved to her heart, where she suddenly felt a lot of pain.
In his eyes, she was not even as good as Carter. She could clearly feel a small wound in her heart festering, and the white wound slowly spread around.
"Young mistress, I'm sorry, it's all our fault." The two servants felt extremely guilty, knowing that apologizing would not help at this time. As long as it was the young master's order, no one dared to disobey it.
Qiu Mo covered the frustration on her face and smiled. The smile was as bright as a flower and very dazzling.
"If I hadn't ground the almonds, you wouldn't have removed the almonds. I'm also half at fault, so there's no need to apologize."
Mother Liu stood not far away, looking apologetically at the girl standing in the soft light. She could be so calm and open-minded at such a young age. She had lived for so many years and thought she had seen all the warmth and warmth of human beings in the world.
The old man also felt a little inferior to himself.
The morning sun slowly faded away. Although it was already autumn, the autumn tiger was also particularly vicious. The sun hanging above her head seemed to be deliberately against her, getting hotter and hotter.
