After these things happened, He Jiaojiao had no idea of continuing to play, so she hurried home with Xu Qingmo.
Along the way, He Jiaojiao's face was not very good. She was probably frightened. She sat there and didn't speak.
When the two of them were together, Xu Qingmo listened to her most of the time. Now she was frightened. She didn't know how to comfort her for a while, so she could only sit still.
The carriage moved very slowly, and you could hear the sounds of hawkers on the street.
"Xu Qingmo, won't you comfort me?" He Jiaojiao became more and more aggrieved as she thought about it, and couldn't help but say.
Xu Qingmo looked up at her with a troubled face: "How can I comfort her?"
He Jiaojiao stared at Xu Qingmo for a long time, and finally sighed: "How come I didn't know you were so good at fighting? There are so many people, and you just do what you say, so you are not afraid of suffering at all?"
"I saw that their steps were frivolous and they didn't know any martial arts at all. They were just relying on their skills to bully someone who couldn't fight back, so I'm not afraid!" Xu Qingmo replied seriously.
"Then aren't you afraid that they will go to your house to complain?" He Jiaojiao frowned.
"Even if they go to my house to complain, so what? My mother won't listen to their nonsense without any real evidence. She won't casually convict me, not to mention that it was their fault in the first place." Xu Qingmo said calmly. .
He Jiaojiao looked at Xu Qingmo for a long time, and finally smiled and said: "It seems that Mrs. Ning Yuanhou really takes care of you!"
"She is not my biological mother!" Xu Qingmo raised his eyes and looked at He Jiaojiao, "Many people are worried that she will treat me badly, but I think there is no stepmother who treats me better than her in this world. Got it!"
He Jiaojiao thought for a while and then said: "Actually, when I was in Qingyuan, I often heard my grandmother and father mention you. They were always worried that you would not live well, and they were even more worried that you would not have your biological mother to take care of you. , you will live a wronged life, but now it seems that you are living a much more comfortable life than me!"
"You are my uncle's eldest daughter and the face of the whole He family. I am not. I was born willful. My father and brother are both military generals. So the world will not look at me like my daughter's family, so naturally I live a much more comfortable life. !" Xu Qingmo smiled and said softly.
He Jiaojiao held her cheek and sighed softly: "Actually, I quite envy you!"
Xu Qingmo laughed softly: "Actually, there are quite a few people in the capital who envy me!"
"Huh?" He Jiaojiao didn't expect Xu Qingmo to say that, and immediately sat up straight, "What do they envy you for?"
"I am good-looking. I have always been good-looking since I was a child!" Xu Qingmo was not modest at all. "I am the legitimate daughter, I am favored, and my family background is good. Isn't this enviable?"
He Jiaojiao was stunned for a long time, and then laughed: "You are quite self-aware, girl!"
Xu Qingmo looked at He Jiaojiao for a long time. Seeing that her complexion was much better, he nodded: "You are like this, am I just comforting you?"
He Jiaojiao didn't react for a moment: "What?"
"Your face looks much better and your hands are not shaking anymore. You should be much better!" Xu Qingmo looked at He Jiaojiao's face and said word by word.
Only then did He Jiaojiao realize that she had indeed stopped shaking.
She looked at Xu Qingmo helplessly: "You actually know everything, right?"
Xu Qingmo still looked confused: "What?"
Seeing Xu Qingmo's look, He Jiaojiao finally understood: "You are just a little fox pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, you are very smart!"
Xu Qingmo just smiled, neither admitting nor denying.
When they returned to the house, Mrs. Xu had just come back from outside. She had prepared many large and small boxes, and her two aunts were also with her.
As soon as Xu Qingmo got off the carriage, he heard Mrs. Xu speaking: "...This is also my first time raising a daughter. I don't understand the hair-raising ceremony very well. I'm afraid that I didn't do something well and wronged Mo Mo. Fortunately, you are all here. ah……"
Mrs. Xu saw Xu Qingmo getting off the carriage and saw that she was wearing thin clothes. She quickly stepped forward, took off her fox fur and put it on her body: "Why are you wearing so little? I have told you so many times." Damn it, don’t look at the beginning of spring, it’s still cold today, it’s very late in spring!”
The two aunts of the He family couldn't help but laugh when they saw Mrs. Xu's musings: "This little girl just doesn't know what's important. She only thinks about looking good and doesn't know how to take care of her body!"
"That's right, I won't listen no matter what I say. I'll wait for you later. Don't say I didn't remind you!" Mrs. Xu gently tapped Xu Qingmo's nose.
Xu Qingmo put on his fox fur obediently and said, "Mom, I just had a fight outside!"
"What?" Madam Xu frowned immediately, and then looked at her carefully, "Are you injured?"
Xu Qingmo shook his head: "They are just wine bags and rice bags, they can't beat me!"
Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you weren't hurt! Are they male or female? How many people are there?"
"A group of men, I didn't even see a few of them!" Xu Qingmo explained lightly.
"It's okay, just give it a shot, don't worry!" Mrs. Xu helped Xu Qingmo arrange her hair and said with a smile.
He Jiaojiao on the side was a little strange: "Madam, don't you ask why Mo Mo hit someone?"
"Mo Mo is very measured. She doesn't usually fight. Besides, a group of men can't beat a woman. She is really a loser. If she dares to cause trouble, she will be kicked out!" Mrs. Xu smiled.
"Although it's okay to say so, it's still not okay for Mo Mo to fight outside!" the eldest aunt said with some worry.
Mrs. Xu, on the other hand, looked indifferent: "It's not that I spoil her, it's mainly that she has a sense of herself and won't fight randomly!"
"Then you should ask too!" The eldest aunt was still a little dissatisfied. "If you don't ask anything about anything, aren't you afraid that she will get into trouble outside?"
"Mother, Mo Mo was fighting because those people were bullying the heir apparent of Yongchang Hou Mansion. Mo Mo said that the two families were old acquaintances, so he helped. When those people heard that it was Ningyuan Hou Mansion, they didn't dare to speak!" He Jiaojiao explained aloud.
The eldest aunt was stunned for a moment, and then said to Xu Qingmo with a cold face: "Even if it is like this, you shouldn't be like this. You have to know that you are a girl. If something happens, what do you want us elders to do!"
Xu Qingmo said, although Mrs. Xu felt a little distressed, she didn't say anything because her eldest aunt was her maternal ancestry. She could only echo a few words: "That's right, don't do this again in the future!"
What else did the aunt want to say, but Xu Qingmo and He Jiaojiao quickly found an excuse and ran away.
On the way back to the yard, He Jiaojiao explained: "My mother is just like that. She is a little impatient but has a good heart. Don't be angry with her!"
Xu Qingmo smiled: "I know."
