"Hey, Mother knows you are filial." Yun Shi patted the back of Wei Qingwan's hand, looking relieved.
Then she sighed and said: "With you helping out at Mother's side, Mother can also relax quite a bit. It's just that, we don’t have enough servants at home, so if anything really happens, we will need more people to help us escape, returning back to the capital."
Yun Shi's eyebrows furrowed tightly and her heart was heavy.
Her husband had entrusted this family to her, so she must manage it well to ensure that her husband felt relieved.
Looking at Yun Shi's worried expression, Wei Qingwan whispered: "Mother, since you have been busy dealing with so many things recently, why not ask Mo mo Li to return? Daughter doesn't want Mother to work so hard. If Mo mo Li comes back, she can help you."
"Mo mo Li made a mistake, and sending her to Zhuangzhi for three months is already a light punishment. Bringing her back early may make her subordinate feel that our Wei family’s rule is not strict." Yun Shi said in a helpless tone.
"Mother is right, but……" Wei Qingwan bit her lip and swallowed back the words.
Seeing this, Yun Shi said: "Wanwan, if you have anything to say, just tell Mother. There’s nothing to hide in between us."
Wei Qingwan hesitated and continued: "Daughter just feels that this is a very special time, where there should be a special punishment method. The house is in need of more servants, and Mo mo Li is very familiar with managing our family affairs. If she comes back, she will definitely help her mother with the burden."
"What you said is reasonable, but the three months punishment time for has not expired, and Mother cannot change it." Yun Shi was somewhat hesitant.
“A method of punishment isn't only being displaced to Zhuangzhi. You can continue punishing her in the mansion, such as penalizing Mo mo's salary and making her do some heavy work." Wei Qingwan proposed.
Yun Shi carefully considered Wei Qingwan's words, and indeed, there were not enough servants at home now, and Mo mo Li couldn't help much in the village. Only when she returned home could she bring value.
"Wanwan, tell Mother honestly, do you miss Mo mo Li?" Yun Shi asked.
Wei Qingwan bit her lips, her eyes slightly red, her head lowered, her expression sad, and she remained silent.
Yun Shi sighed and could understand.
Mo mo Li was a senior servant in the mansion and a person who had raised and served Wanwan since she was a child. Wanwan's relationship with her was definitely deeper than others.
"What you just said does make some sense. Now I am indeed too short of manpower, so I’ll let Mo mo Li return home. But she will be fined for three more months, and even if she returns, the head Mo mo will still be Mo mo Zhang." Yun Shi said.
This could also be considered as a follow-up punishment for Mo mo Li.
"Everything is up to Mother." Wei Qingwan was overjoyed.
Anyway, it was finally possible to bring Mo mo Li back to the mansion.
Naturally, Yun Shi could see Wei Qingwan's happiness, "Mother knows that you and Mo mo Li have a good relationship. It makes you a little sad to punish her for going to Zhuangzhi, but you must also know that she is a servant of our family after all. If she does an audacious thing and we do not punish her, Mother is afraid she will defy us in the future.”
“Don’t spoil her too much when she comes back this time. You have to set clear boundaries with her.”
"Daughter knows, please rest assured, daughter will teach Mo mo Li well and make sure she doesn’t make any mistakes again." Wei Qingwan hurriedly assured Yun Shi.
After talking to Wei Qingwan about Mo mo Li, Yun Shi then sighed and asked: "I wonder what Ruo'er has been busy with these past few days?"

Really? Why am I not surprised that the woman who threw her own daughter into a shed overnight, would bring back the woman that framed her. And all because the other daughter "missed her so much".

Real smart of her to go behind her husband's back to save the one he wanted punished.
