Chapter 1251 Young Master Li Is Here (3)
"Is she okay?"
Butler Han was stunned, then understood and said hurriedly: "To answer your question, I have been waiting outside and have not seen the young lady, so, so, uh..."
"Pah"
Mo Zili threw the book in his hand aside, with a bit of anger on his face because of disappointment.
"Don't you know to ask the people in the manor about the young lady's recent situation? How is her health? Has she eaten well? Did she say when she would be back? Didn't you ask these? How do you do your job as a servant?"
Butler Han shrugged his shoulders and said: "Young master, the old lady and the ladies often send people to the manor to deliver things. I thought... you knew about these things, so I... didn't ask..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Zili's expression became a little colder, and his face showed a bad look.
"Housekeeper Han, I think you've had enough of being a housekeeper, right?"
When Housekeeper Han received the sinister look from Master Li, he was horrified, knelt down hurriedly, and said with his head bowed: "Master Li, please forgive me, I know I was wrong, I will prepare the carriage and go to the manor again, and I will definitely ask the Master about the matter..."
"Enough!"
Mo Zili interrupted him and said coldly: "You go prepare the carriage, I will go with you."
"What? This... This..."
The housekeeper was stumped. It is said that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Master Li has two broken ribs, and it has been less than a month now. How can he withstand the bumps of the carriage? If there is any mistake, the old lady and the ladies will definitely tear him apart alive!
"What is this, why don't you go!"
Mo Zili shouted angrily and slapped the table, which scared Housekeeper Han so much that he said "yes" and ran out in a hurry.
When he got outside, he bitterly ordered the servant to prepare the carriage. Although he would be scolded by the old lady and the second lady if he took Master Li out, it was better than offending Master Li. Although this gentleman looked indifferent and seemed to be indifferent, he was stubborn in his bones. If he was offended, he would never let him go easily. Therefore, he should choose the lesser of two evils and do as he was told...
At this time, Mo Zili was sitting in the study, drinking the tea in the cup slowly with his head down. On the surface, he was still indifferent and calm, but his heart was already surging with mixed feelings, far from being as calm as on the surface.
Seven days have passed. She has been away from home for seven days. During these seven days, he has not heard her cheerful and playful laughter, nor her noisy fault-finding. His life has suddenly become silent, as quiet as a dry well, so dull that it makes people breathless. Although Du Wanqing occasionally sings softly and improvises poems, it sounds so boring and artificial to him. It's really strange. Why didn't he find Du Wanqing artificial before?
Probably they didn't see each other often at that time, and they didn't spend much time together every time they met, so he didn't have time to see her clearly. In his heart, he always thought she was a holy woman who was pure and elegant, and didn't care about worldly fireworks. But now it's different. She lives under the same roof with him, and he has enough opportunities to see her true nature.
She kept saying that she was sad for the lost child and had no desire to live, but she couldn't wait to find a doctor to heal her face. She acted like she was pure and untouched by worldly things, but she always hinted that he should give her expensive gifts. The closer he was to her, the more disappointed he became. The clean face and pure soul that she had before gradually collapsed in his heart and became unbearable to look at.
