Chapter 330 Moonlight Lane
"Xiao Xi, don't go. Wait for me in the carriage. Xiao Le can come with me." Shan Xi instructed before getting off the carriage.
Yuebai Lane is too narrow.
The carriage couldn't get in at all, so it had to be parked at the entrance of the alley. It had to be parked on the side of the road, otherwise it would affect other people walking.
"Yes, Miss." Xiaoxi agreed readily. Last time, she accompanied the Miss, so it was normal for Xiaole to go this time.
When he was about to reach the innermost room, Shan Xi deliberately stopped to tidy himself up.
"Xiao Le, my hair and clothes are not messy, right?!"
"It's fine, not messy at all," Xiaole answered truthfully.
I don't know what's wrong with the young lady. She never cared about her clothes before, but she seems to care more and more about them recently.
"Hey! Miss, are you here to pick up your child again?!" An auntie who was collecting clothes came out and smiled at Shan Xi.
"Yes!" Shan Xi also answered generously.
"You are such a good sister. You come to pick up the kids every day." The aunt was very envious.
Shan Xi didn't think about explaining her relationship with Xiao Yu'er, she just smiled and said, "Of course, of course."
"Then you should go in quickly and don't keep the child waiting. From what I heard, it should be over." The work in the aunt's hands did not delay her from talking.
Urging Shan Xi to go quickly.
After Shan Xi thanked him, his pace did quicken.
She still couldn't resist the aunt's enthusiasm. Last time she saw her making pancakes, she insisted on giving her one. In the end, the pancake fell into Xiaoyuer's mouth.
Shan Xi walked into the innermost room and came to the door of the room on the far left with great familiarity.
Before she knocked, the door was opened from the inside.
Xiao Yuer had already packed his little schoolbag and was standing there.
"Aunt, you're here!" Xiao Yuer said in a soft voice.
"Well, have you packed it already?" Shan Xi saw Xiao Yu'er's outfit and thought that he might have packed it a long time ago, just waiting for her to come.
"Well, there is no new lesson today. The teacher just asked me to review."
Xiao Yuer has officially become Shen Mozhu's disciple, so he can no longer casually call him "big friend", but must respectfully call him "sir".
Shan Xi lovingly touched Xiao Yu'er's head and asked, "How is your review going, Xiao Yu'er?"
"Of course it's the best!" Xiao Yuer said proudly! "The teacher praised me for being smart!"
"Xiao Yu'er is awesome!" Shan Xi praised him generously.
"Miss, please go back early today." Shen Mozhu, who had been standing behind Xiao Yuer, finally spoke.
"Thank you, Mr. Shen." Shan Xi bowed to him.
"No need." Shen Mozhu slightly turned his body and did not accept her greeting. "Since Xiaoyuer has already accepted me as his master, it is only natural for me to teach him. I do not deserve a thank you from the young lady."
Shen Mozhu's job in the Ministry of War was an idle one. If there was nothing special, he could leave at 3 p.m. every day. Therefore, when the young lady asked him to formally teach Xiao Yuer, he did not refuse.
However, he never imagined that the person who picked up Xiao Yuer from school every day would be the eldest daughter of the general's mansion.
"Then, I will take Xiao Yuer back today and send him back tomorrow." Shan Xi said hello and took Xiao Yuer's hand and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment." Shen Mozhu's voice came from behind them.
Shan Xi turned around with a confused look on her face. She looked at him, at a loss.
"Miss, may I have a word with you?" After thinking for a long time, Shen Mozhu decided to say what she wanted to say.
"Oh. OK." Shan Xi nodded, put Xiao Yu'er's hand in Xiao Le's hand, and said to him, "Take Xiao Yu'er to the carriage first."
"Yes, Miss." Xiaole took Xiaoyuer and walked forward with him.
Xiao Le didn't dare to go too far away from his young lady, so he just brought Xiao Yuer a little closer.
She kept a distance where she could see her young lady but not hear them talking.
Shen Mozhu also looked around. Most people were not in the yard now, so if he spoke softly, others would not be able to hear him.
"What does Mr. Shen want to say?" Shan Xi looked confused, and had no idea what Shen Mozhu would say to him.
"Miss." As if he had made up his mind, Shen Mozhu decided to speak out. "The matter of picking up Xiaoyuer can actually be entrusted to a trusted servant. The people living in Yuebai Lane are very complicated. Miss should not come here."
Shan Xi thought of many possibilities, but she never expected to hear such a thing from Shen Mozhu. Did he dislike her? !
Don't want to see her at all?!
"What's wrong with what I did?!" Shan Xi asked subconsciously.
"No! That's not it!" Shen Mozhu quickly denied, "It's not the young lady's problem. It's that people's words are scary. If the young lady comes here often, she will inevitably be criticized in the future. Then it will really be Shen's fault."
He has heard some bad comments recently, and if they continue, there might be no way around it.
After hearing what Shen Mozhu said, Shan Xi's face turned pale.
She didn't expect that she would be involved in these problems just because she was picking up and dropping off the child.
"Miss?" Shen Mozhu noticed that something was wrong with her, but he couldn't do anything. He could only call her tentatively.
Shan Xi came back to his senses, suppressed his emotions, and said, "I understand, Mr. Shen. I will go back now."
After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.
She had already walked out of the yard when the door of the next door opened and a man who looked very similar to Shen Mozhu walked out. He didn't say anything, but just looked at the gate of the yard, then looked at Shen Mozhu, shook his head and walked past Shen Mozhu.
When Xiaoxi saw her young lady getting on the carriage, she wanted to say something, but when she saw her young lady's pale face, she was so scared that she dared not say anything and hurried forward to support her.
Xiao Yuer also keenly noticed that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.
It was fine just now, how come it suddenly became different? Could it be that the master scolded my aunt? ! But why did the master scold my aunt? Could it be because he was not well behaved?
He didn't dare to speak, but he sat closer to his aunt and stretched out his short, thick little hand to hug his aunt's arm.
He wanted to make his aunt less sad in this way. Yes, he could feel that his aunt was very sad. He also secretly vowed to be better and more obedient in the future. He would never let his husband scold his aunt again.
