When she came to the entrance of the courtyard, Wei Ruo saw Mo mo Li, who she had not seen for a long time. Her skin was a bit darker and she looked thinner than two months ago.
She was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and apologizing to Wei Ruo as soon as she saw her coming.
Her actions attracted several servants from the mansion to stop and watch them at the entrance of Tingsong Garden.
Seeing this scene, Xiumei frowned and tugged at Wei Ruo, expressing her concerns in a low voice. "Miss, what should we do? Mo mo Li did it on purpose! What is she trying to do by making such a big commotion and attracting so many people?”
"I know what she wants to do, she wants to tarnish my reputation." Wei Ruo knew it well.
When Wei Ruo first entered the mansion, Mo mo Li was responsible for teaching Wei Ruo the rules. Nominally, she was considered as Wei Ruo's teacher. She was also a senior servant from Bo Zhongyi's Mansion. By kneeling and kowtowing to Wei Ruo like this, it was really bad to look at.
On that day, Wei Ruo was very confrontational towards Mo mo Li. If this continues, it would seem like Wei Ruo not only didn't appreciate her kowtows, but also acted like she wanted to ridicule her again.
As a result, Wei Ruo would gain a bad reputation as a troublemaker for mistreating the old Mo Mo in the mansion, leaving a bad impression on the servants.
Then she walked up to Mo mo Li: "Mo mo Li, you can’t do this!"
"If the eldest young lady doesn't forgive this old servant today, this old servant will kneel for a long time!" Mo mo Li said with a sorrowful expression.
"What do you mean, Mo mo Li? When have I ever blamed you? Get up quickly. You are an old lady and you have just suffered in the village, don't kneel like this!"
Wei Ruo said and came forward to help Mo Mo Li.
Mo mo Li raised her head and looked at Wei Ruo in surprise.
Wei Ruo in Mo mo Li's memory was full of herself, vulgar and unruly. She never taught her etiquette well and she looked arrogant. During the dispute, Wei Ruo also confronted her head-on.
According to her understanding of Wei Ruo, Wei Ruo shouldn't have this reaction!
"Miss, you don’t blame me anymore?" Mo mo Li asked.
"The reason why I had an argument with Mo mo Li that day was because Mo mo Li did something wrong. A life is at stake, and I naturally felt anxious. Now that the matter has passed, my second brother has recovered, and you have also received punishment.
Why should I blame you again? Unless…… Mo mo, you still plan to continue making mistakes and make things difficult for me?" Wei Ruo's lips were filled with a shallow smile.
“No, no, this old servant has changed and won’t do it again!” Mo mo Li said hurriedly.
After saying this, she wanted to kowtow again.
"Mo mo Li, what are you doing? I have forgiven you. Why are you still kowtowing?"
"This old servant has a guilty conscience, I'm afraid that the eldest young lady won't forgive me."
"Please don’t, Mo mo Li. You're an old woman, what if you fall at my doorstep and break your bone? Xiumei, help Mo mo Li up quickly."
“Okay, Miss.”
Xiumei strode forward.
"Mo mo Li, please get up." Xiumei didn't give Mo mo Li time to react, her hands went under Mo mo Li's arms and directly lifted her up.
Mo mo Li had not yet regained her senses when she heard Wei Ruo continue to say:
"Then check her knees again to see if there are any bruises."
