"The one who raised me, who taught me principles."
From less than three months old, Mu An Xiao was given to a madam in the estate by her birth mother. In a sense, she was raised by the madam. During this time, the madam told her to be wary of everyone, no matter what. It was also the madam who taught her many principles, advising her that since she was not favored, she should be more observant.
Because of the madam's words, whenever she saw her birth mother's expression turn sour, she would instinctively withdraw. It was precisely because of this that she was rarely punished.
However, the madam's life was forever fixed in the year she turned nine. After that, her life underwent immense changes, and she became truly invisible.
Only Mu Xi was willing to play with her, and because of this connection, she did not believe Mu Xi was a bad person.
"The one who raised you?" Feng Qi Shi asked incredulously.
"..." Mu An Xiao sighed, "If I tell you, I'm afraid you'll laugh. My situation is similar to yours. When I was three months old, my mother sent me to a madam in the estate. That madam... died when I was nine."
"Last year," Feng Qi Shi suddenly realized.
"Yes, ever since then, I haven't worn clothes that fit me properly, because..." Mu An Xiao explained, "When the madam was alive, whenever my mother sent clothes, the madam would alter them for me. After the madam died, there was no one to alter them for me." As she spoke, she thought of the clothes on young Mu An Xiao, and her eyes darkened.
"Why didn't you mention that madam before?" Feng Qi Shi asked, confused.
Mu An Xiao replied, "Since I was young, the madam told me she wasn't my birth mother and forbade me to speak of her. She told me not to hate my parents, saying they both had their difficulties..." She gave a wry smile, "You must know that feeling of wanting to hate but not daring to, right!" She stared at Feng Qi Shi.
Feng Qi Shi: "..." He suddenly regretted asking that question.
Seeing Feng Qi Shi remain silent, Mu An Xiao smiled again, "It's the feeling you have towards your mother." She brushed it off, carelessly pointing to the opposite side, "Is he alright?"
"..." Feng Qi Shi didn't pursue the question that brought sadness to both of them. Following Mu An Xiao's gaze, he looked at the servant leaning against a large tree and said, "He's alright, but... his condition doesn't seem good."
"..." The moment Feng Qi Shi spoke, Mu An Xiao's heart sank. She then followed Feng Qi Shi's gaze to look over there and her eyes widened. "Not good." Saying this, she quickly ran towards the servant.
After Mu An Xiao shouted this, the servant's body, which had been leaning against the tree, slumped down.
At the same time, Mu An Xiao quickly stopped in front of the servant and asked, "Hey, brother." She squatted down and nudged his shoulder.
Hearing this, the servant reacted, opened his eyes, and looked at Mu An Xiao. "Save me," his eyes narrowed into slits.
Seeing this, Mu An Xiao frowned, "You were suffering from diarrhea, how did you end up... like this?"
"I wasn't..." The servant leaned his head against the tree. "I just tried it, it's not diarrhea. I... just felt... uncomfortable in my stomach, and weak all over. Especially..." As he spoke, his head brushed against the tree and he shook it, opening his eyes with difficulty breathing. "Help me."
"Huh?"
"I'm not going to make it," the servant's consciousness was completely unclear. "Help me send some money to my mother..." Saying this, he took out a money pouch from his embrace and handed it to Mu An Xiao.
"..."
Mu An Xiao didn't know whether to accept the silver or not, but seeing the servant's state now, her heart felt a sudden pang.
"It's poison," the wolf demon said.
Hearing this, Mu An Xiao was startled and turned to look at the wolf demon, "What do you mean?"
The wolf demon, hearing Mu An Xiao's words, squatted down and stared intently at the servant's face. "It means that the poison the woman gave him will take his life."
"..." Mu An Xiao couldn't believe it. She turned back to look at the pale-faced servant, feeling anxious. Qi Qi Chinese Network
"Why would she do that?" Lin Yan finally chimed in.
The wolf demon replied, "I don't know. I can't guess human thoughts."
"You..." Lin Yan was speechless, he sighed and looked down at Mu An Xiao, "What are you going to do?"
This was in the past, Mu An Xiao knew she could do nothing. If she saved this servant, then certain things would inevitably change drastically.
To prevent those things from happening, she was confused.
"I don't know." As she spoke, she stared at the servant's face, recalling his conversation with the woman not long ago, and her heart sank. "He was fine just now, how could he be... like this?" She couldn't believe this was a dying person.
"I can't anymore," the servant said blankly, leaning against the tree.
Mu An Xiao: "You..." She knew she couldn't comfort him anymore.
"..." The servant held the money pouch out to Mu An Xiao again. "Please help me send it to my mother. The address is inside."
"The address?"
"Yes," the servant swallowed. "To tell you the truth, I... my brother also died on the way."
"What?"
"Just now..." The servant didn't treat Mu An Xiao as an outsider at all. Using his last bit of strength, he said, "I saw you."
"You saw me?"
"You were over there..." The servant pointed to a row of trees opposite. "Behind that tree, I don't know who you were talking to, but... I know... you will definitely help me."
"Huh?"
"....." The servant grabbed Mu An Xiao's sleeve with one hand. "Brave sir, please help me... It hasn't been easy for me to come this far. My mother is seriously ill, and I need to get the travel expenses to treat her. You... you also heard what that woman said... Help me, go in my stead... When the time comes, take half of the wages she gives, and send the other half to my mother, alright?" As he asked, he suddenly pinched his nose with his other hand and blew his nose.
Lin Yan and the wolf demon showed expressions of disgust at this.
Mu An Xiao remained unfazed. On the contrary, she never expected to be the one to fulfill this servant's last wish. Before this, she had always thought he would just have diarrhea a few times and be fine.
Who would have thought it would turn into such a situation now?
Thinking about it, she didn't know what to do.
"This..." She hesitated.
Feng Qi Shi looked down at Mu An Xiao's hesitant expression and said impatiently, "Just help him. He's dead, it won't change anything. At most... that woman will lose some money." XXS 壹贰
"This..."
In reality, that wicked woman hadn't given this servant his last bit of money. If she were to lose money this time, certain things would also change. Thinking of these, Mu An Xiao fell into deep hesitation.
Feng Qi Shi asked, "What's wrong?"
"She's killing him," Mu An Xiao had a flash of inspiration. "She definitely doesn't want to pay. But if I appear, it will surely change some things. I think... I can't do that anymore."
