Chapter 1097 - 350: Seeking Marriage_3
"Look at you, child, always so polite; you won’t even comfortably call me ’Old Madam Zeng,’ insisting on making me feel old," Mrs. Zeng chided with a smile, her brows softened in kindness, evidently a good-tempered elderly lady.
Lixiu, upon hearing this, repeatedly said she dared not. Outsiders did not know she was sold to the Mo Family and was their servant; yet she was acutely aware of it herself. If she carelessly disrupted the social order and her family’s true identity were to be revealed in the future, it would be very upsetting, and it might lead to unfavorable views towards the Mo Family.
Looking at the gentle and courteous Lixiu, thinking about the task Master San had entrusted to her the previous day, Mrs. Zeng inwardly nodded, mistaking Lixiu for someone who had come to find Master San but was too shy to seek him directly, and deliberately raised her voice, "Lady Li, I do enjoy the company of a good girl like you. If you have spare time and don’t mind my ramblings, do come and chat with me more often."
A hint of surprise flashed across Lixiu’s face. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the sound of slightly disordered footsteps coming from the courtyard and immediately tensed up. She hurriedly stuffed the few sheets of paper in her hands into Mrs. Zeng’s hands, "Mrs. Zeng, this is something the County Lord wishes to give to Master San. Please pass it on to him. Thank you very much for this."
After saying this, Lixiu didn’t wait for Mrs. Zeng to say anything and quickly turned and hurried away.
Master San followed, panting slightly, only to see the distant figure of Lixiu, knowing it was too late to catch up.
