Ye Jiu looked at Zi Xi who was kneeling on the ground and looked at Chu Huai who was standing at the periphery of the crowd.
They did meet under the parasol tree a few times. In order to avoid the crowd, they chose to meet in the middle of the night…
However, Chu Huai was not stupid enough to expose himself now.
In other words, Zi Xi did see them…
Or perhaps, it was someone else?
No matter what, the message from last night seemed suspicious…
“I… I didn’t see his face clearly…” Zi Xi said as she shrunk her neck slightly.
“But looking at his figure… it seemed to be…” Zi Xi paused for a moment as the name that was about to come out of her mouth appeared.
Everyone held their breaths as they waited for that man’s name.
“It was me!” Chu Mo’s voice came from behind them.
A few of them were so scared that they sucked in a breath of cold air. It was as if they were caught by the person in question while they were peeping.
Ye Jiu did not expect Chu mo to “step forward”.
The few people who stood in front of Chu Mo moved to the side and made way for him.
Chu Mo walked to Old Madam Chu and greeted her respectfully, “Good morning, Grandmother.”.
He turned his gaze and stared at Zi Xi who was kneeling on the ground. ” So you don’t sleep at night. Do you actually have the habit of peeping at your Master?”
Being questioned by Chu Mo, Zi Xi was momentarily stunned and did not know how to answer.
“Little Mo, you too. What have you been doing under the parasol tree with Ye Jiu in the middle of the night?” Chu Mo’s second uncle, Chu Xing, could not help but grumble.
“That’s right. It’s inevitable that people will misunderstand!” Second Aunt Jiang Ru echoed.
Old Madam Chu looked over and the two of them immediately shut up.
Chu Xing and his wife had always been simple-minded and straightforward.
Chu Mo was obviously protecting Ye Jiu.
However, since Chu Mo wanted to protect Ye Jiu, Old Madam Chu did not intend to make Chu Mo lose face for a servant.
Zi Xi looked at Chu Mo with tears in her eyes. Her pitiful appearance made others think that she had been abandoned by Chu Mo.
Chu Mo ignored Zi Xi and said to everyone, “If there’s nothing else, please leave.”
“Then… I… Young Master…” Zi Xi stuttered.
“Since everything is packed, butler, send her away!” Chu Mo ordered without even looking at Zi Xi.
The butler immediately went forward, pulled Zi Xi up, and dragged her luggage out.
Zi Xi was dragged toward the door and kept turning around. She looked very pitiful.
Ye Jiu stood upstairs and looked at the scene. She felt that it looked familiar.
In her previous life, in order to make the Chu family suffer, she had designed many such scenes.
The people who were chased out of the Chu family all looked like this…
Thinking about what she had done, Ye Jiu felt guilty again.
She shook her head and tried to get rid of those complicated feelings.
In this life, she would never let such a thing happen again…
She would protect the Chu family and never let them get hurt again!
As Ye Jiu thought about it, her gaze fell on Chu Mo.
Chu Mo raised his head slightly and met her gaze.
It was obvious that Chu Mo knew that Ye Jiu was upstairs…
Their gazes met briefly before Chu Mo withdrew his gaze.
“Grandmother, You’re tired. Go back and rest first…” Chu mo said respectfully to Old Madam Chu.
Old Madam Chu sighed as if she was helpless about this farce.
“Forget it! You young people are always making noise!” Old Madam Chu waved her hand and the woman who was standing by the side helped her up.
“I have been feeling depressed these days…” Old Madam Chu said as she turned around and walked towards her room.
“In a few days, Xiao Jing will come with me to live on the mountain for a few days!” As she said that, old Madam Chu patted her hand that was supporting her.
Ye Jiu’s gaze followed her and looked at the woman who had always been by old Madam Chu’s side.
Sun Jing, Old Madam Chu’s niece.
She was already in her early 40s this year and was still unmarried. She had always followed Old Madam Chu and taken care of her.
To Ye Jiu, she always had an aloof appearance and was arrogant to everyone.
Although everyone in the family did not say anything, they were secretly afraid of her.
Ye Jiu did not have many interactions with her in her previous life. She only remembered that she did not like to talk, but she would always follow Old Madam Chu whenever she needed help.
No matter how she schemed against Sun Jing, she seemed to be able to avoid her every time.
Therefore, in Ye Jiu’s heart, Sun Jing was a woman who was not to be trifled with…
