The kneeling mother Wu smelled the incense on Mo Lingfeng who was squatting in front of her.
The deep and strong floral fragrance slowly bloomed in the cold wind and became colder again, as if the spring breeze withered and turned into plum blossoms in an instant.
She had also smelled this smell on her son. It was the precious incense tablets used by Mo Mansion. It was stained on everyone who entered Mo Mansion, like an invisible claw, no one could escape.
She tried her best to hold her breath and not smell the smell brought by the Mo family. Her legs kneeling in the snow kept tingling, reminding her not to forget the reason for her trip.
At the gate of the city, which was still sparsely populated just now, suddenly there were three or two groups of people, all coming to see the Detachment of Women. Seeing this, their eyes were burning, and they wanted to pry open their mouths and hear what they were talking about.
Someone who knew Wu Mu suddenly let out a low voice of surprise and told everyone about the discovery.
Amid everyone's probing gazes, Mother Wu was speechless for a long time. Mo Lingfeng lowered her eyes, stood up, and asked condescendingly, "Does Aunt Wu have something to say to me?"
Wu Mu raised her head and glanced at her. This time she couldn't see her face clearly. She could only see the dazzling yellow color of the gold necklace. Then she got down, put her hands forward, threw herself into the snow, and crawled down with her upper body, heavily He kowtowed to Mo Lingfeng.
When she raised her head again, her forehead was covered with broken snow, and there was even a bruise.
"Miss Mo, the difference between our humble family in the Wu family and yours in the Mo family is really huge. You are a lady of the family and a female general. You are the one who calls the shots in the fortress. You can have any kind of husband you want. Our brother Jin is very poor, has no official status, and no fame. He is really not worthy of you, so please let him go."
Her voice was not loud and her words were sincere, but her words were sharp and every word was an attack.
After hearing this, Mo Lingfeng half-smiled but lowered his head and said, "Auntie, you are bullying me."
Mother Wu shook her head and said, "I don't dare. I never meant that. I don't dare."
"You do," Mo Lingfeng said resolutely, "You lift me up in your words, but belittle me in every move you make. You say I am a lady, but you block the lady at the gate of the city. You say I am a woman." General, you are a little woman, but you are forcing me in front of everyone. It shows that you do not regard me as a lady or a female general."
She said it so clearly that Wu Mu's face was full of astonishment, and then she was frightened, panicked and ashamed. Her face, which was originally livid from the cold, also turned red in an instant - Mo Lingfeng's words left no room for doubt, leaving no room for doubt in her heart. The darkness that is secret and inaccessible to outsiders is made public.
Mo Lingfeng continued: "You say Wu Jin is not good, but you love and protect him. You know that it was his decision, but you can't bear to blame him. You kneel here to blame other people's daughters."
Wu's mother wanted to defend herself, but she couldn't say a word. She could only look at Mo Lingfeng and see how she could pierce through a mother's hypocrisy, cunning, and cunningness.
The sky had turned dark, and the snow light mixed with the night, turning into a color that was so cold that it shrouded the lonely and cold-looking Mo Lingfeng. Her phoenix eyes were cold and she asked, "I don't have a mother-in-law or a eldest sister-in-law." , do you think I can’t understand? It’s just that you are Wu Jin’s mother, I forgive you this time.”
Mother Wu's full words disappeared without a trace, and she waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, that's not what I meant. I just... you want to find a son-in-law, and the Mo family needs someone to marry into your family. There must be someone better than Brother Jin in this world." As long as you open your mouth, you will definitely find someone, Brother Jin is different!"
She was incoherent: "In our family, as a family, he is a scholar. It's because of the smoke rising from the Wu family's ancestral grave that he was sacrificed. As long as you raise your hand and let him go -"
She stretched out her hand and pointed upward, tears welling up in her eyes: "He is really only one step away from the dragon gate!"
Mo Lingfeng bent down, stretched out her hand, grasped Wu Mu's arm firmly, and pulled her out of the snow. After Wu Mu stood firm, she let go of Wu Mu and softened her face: "Auntie, there are many others. Very good, what does it have to do with me?"
She swallowed the rest of her words: "I only care about Wu Jin."
She did not have a mother or a sister-in-law, but Mo Qianlan tried his best to cherish her like a pearl, so she also knew how to cherish Wu Jin, but in front of a panicked mother, she felt that the last sentence should not be said.
Mother Wu was speechless, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and murmured: "Please, please. Please show me your noble hand, and we, as a couple, will make you cows and horses to repay your kindness."
Mo Lingfeng said: "Auntie, I have never lowered my hand, so how can I raise my hand? Wu Jin is not a three-year-old child, nor is he a lackey of the Mo Mansion. Where and how he wants to go is up to me. I can’t control it, and you can’t control it either.”
Wu's mother begged, "You don't understand. I am his aunt, and I want to think about him for the rest of my life. If he doesn't leave, this life will be ruined! When you become a mother and aunt in the future, you will understand." My painstaking efforts today are the heart of an ordinary mother!"
Mo Lingfeng frowned: "No, Wu Jin is not ordinary. He is smart and rational. He can be a master in one test. He can be the master of the family at home and can control everything outside. Since you have enjoyed his unusualness, you also We should tolerate his other abnormalities."
She reached out and took off the cloak on Wu's mother and put it on her arm: "An ordinary mother's heart should be directed towards ordinary Wu Yi. If it is forced on Wu Jin, he will be very tired."
She took a step back and said, "Aunt, it's getting late. My brother at home is still waiting for me. I'll leave first."
After saying that, she turned around and left, threw her cloak to Yin Nan, got on her horse, and rode her horse around Wu Mu, heading straight to Mo Mansion.
When the sky turned completely dark, she and the Detachment of Women arrived at Mo Mansion.
Mo Lingfeng threw away the riding crop and went straight into the second hall. With a chill all over his body, he walked to the bedside, bent down, hugged Mo Qianlan gently, and said softly: "Brother, I'm back."
The aunt in the house prepared hot water, added charcoal fire, and quietly left. Mo Lingfeng took off his soft armor and put it on the screen, washed himself with hot water, and baked himself warm next to the brazier. He walked back to Mo Qianlan, sat down, held his hands, and snuggled up to him like a kitten.
She pushed her head towards Mo Qianlan's chest and said coquettishly, "Brother, you are the best. I like you the most."
Closing her eyes, she finished lingering around Mo Qianlan, then got up and went out, returned to Changsui Residence, took a shower and changed clothes, and finally ate a large bowl of mutton noodle soup in the cubicle.
Holding the bowl, she drank the soup in mouthfuls. She sweated slightly on her forehead. She put down the bowl and burped, stretching her arms and legs comfortably.
Only then did Yin Nan walk in: "The man named Wu is here, in Jiusixuan."
Mo Lingfeng yawned, stood up, put on a cloak, and strode out. Yin Nan followed her with a lantern and also yawned. (End of chapter)
