Chapter 1148 - 1153: Mo Zili’s Heartfelt Thoughts (3)
"Ah, I’ll go right away, but Miss Wanqing will cry her eyes out again when she learns you’re hurt!"
Wang Cai agreed cheerfully, went out, and then turned back at the entrance, saying, "Young Master, should I call a maid to fetch the Young Madam for you? Otherwise, how will you manage all alone?"
At the mention of ’Young Madam’, the image of Xiang Yun’s pale and haggard little face immediately came to Mu Zhongqing’s mind. He waved his hand and said, "No need for that, just summon two maids to come in and serve me here, that will do!"
"Yes!"
Wang Cai answered, called two girls into the room from the outer room, carefully instructed them, and then mounted his horse, leaving the back house as a streak of smoke towards Willow Lane.
Willow Lane was a street not far from the Palace, where the residents were all rich or noble.
At the end of the lane, there was an inconspicuous two-section house, where Lady Wang, the wife from the Second Room of the former Duke An’s family, and her young daughter Du Wanqing, as well as her ten-year-old son Du Yuqing, lived.
Originally, Lady Wang had fallen into slavery and should have been sold as a slave, but fortunately her fate was kind. She had a daughter who stood up for her, and through her daughter’s influence, not only was she herself saved, but her young son, who was about to be sent away to Lingbei, was also rescued.
In the past, she had been blinded by ambition, believing that only her eldest and second daughters, healthy and beautiful, had the assets to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix. Little did she expect that at the most critical moment, both her eldest and second daughters would be of no help, while it was her ailing young daughter who made a name for herself, finding a man of prestigious identity she could marry, allowing her to once again live a life of plenty.
