The Otherworldly God

Chapter 146

After entering the house, Le Ying took off Mu Xin's cloak and cape.

Compared with the Mu Xin who they had only glanced at briefly in the clear and still water, the Mu Xin standing in front of them at this moment looked clear and distinct, not like a Taoist priest, but more like a rich lady.

They couldn't ask questions about whether they were good people or not, and they were also careful not to talk about topics in this regard.

Le Zheng Yuhua held Mu Xin's hand, and the two of them knelt down to greet Le Zhengfang and offer tea. Le Zhengfang had a cold face the whole time, and lectured them according to the rules, but he mentioned more about what happened in the ancestral hall yesterday.

"Even Le Zheng's children can't easily enter Le Zheng's ancestral hall. It's okay that Le Zheng neglected her, but that Yun Xiu... today and tomorrow, as her lady, you should listen to her. No matter how powerful she is, trespassing like this is really not giving Le Zheng face. It will not be a good reputation if it gets out. It will not be good for her, you, and the entire Mu family. Do you understand?"

Mu Xin bowed again and replied respectfully: "Thank you for your teachings, Aunt. Mu Xin will definitely set an example and behave well. Please rest assured, Aunt."

"Yeah. Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, aunt."

"You haven't eaten yet?"

At this time, Le Ying burped, and the aroma of the buns came out of her mouth. She quickly covered her mouth and explained with a smile: "These were forced upon us by the people. I had no choice but to accept three buns. However, the young lady and the son-in-law didn't eat a single bite, and they didn't eat breakfast either."

"Speak up."

"Le Ying knows her mistake."

"Master Zhi was in high spirits yesterday and drank a lot of wine. He said you guys wanted to pay your respects early in the morning, and he started drinking again. Now he is drunk and I don't know where he is. I don't see anyone at Sanyeju either. Your mistress should come over to my place, and let's sit down and have a simple meal together."

Bai Zhi came over from the other side, holding a lot of dishes in her hands. Le Zhengying followed behind her and brought the food over.

"Mu Xin/Yu Hua meets Master's Wife."

"No need to be so polite. Azhi is not here, so just skip the greetings and tea for us."

Le Zhengfang coughed twice pretending to be quiet.

"There's a lot of time to go on, so you guys can figure it out. Come on, don't just stand there, sit down and eat."

Le Ying helped Mu Xin sit down and stood beside her. Le Zhengfang asked her to sit down as well.

"I can't. Three buns are already too much for me."

"Did you sneak some food before you went out?"

"No, I didn't. I just ate a few cakes left in the lady's room last night, that's all."

"It seems that two months is too short for you. Let Yunxiu teach you the rules when we get back."

"Le Ying knows she was wrong."

Bai Zhi recalled that the girl named Yun Xiu had been following Mu Xin yesterday. She looked familiar to her. When she thought about her at night, she remembered that it was like the young appearance of Grandma Su Mu that she had seen that year. She could not forget it for a long time.

"Why didn't Miss Yunxiu come today?"

"Master's wife, look at her like this. There are still many things to deal with in the garden. Yunxiu can't rest assured and let them handle it.

What’s more, Pavilion Master Nangong and Young Pavilion Master are still visiting at home. If Yunxiu were to leave her to take care of them, she would be restless and worried about them all the time.

I thought it would be better if she came with me. She did a good job in front of Master Qin just now, but her true colors were revealed before even an hour had passed.

I guess it's because Yunxiu is not here, I was too polite to you, right?"

"Le Ying doesn't dare."

Le Zhengying came over, took Le Ying's hand, and said, "Miss Xin'er is a good person, and she treats her subordinates very well. I can see that.

Actually, I was full too. They were all the cooks in the big kitchen. I asked for fish soup, and they asked me to try this dish and then that dish. After all these, I was full.

I thought, since we are full, we should not be an eyesore here. It is a good opportunity to let Miss Le Ying teach me how to make some pastries. What do you think, Miss Xin'er?"

"That's fine with me."

She looked at Le Zhengfang, indicating that this matter would only take effect after her nod.

"Master?"

"Go ahead, but you have to study hard."

"Yes."

Le Zhengying pulled Le Ying along, and the two of them walked towards the small kitchen while whispering happily. Le Zhengfang shook her head helplessly.

"This Ying'er is still like a child."

"Aren't they all children in our eyes? Miss Le Ying isn't that old, is she?"

"Yes, eighteen this year."

"Is there anyone home?"

"I don't know that."

"If not, auntie can consider being a matchmaker."

"It's not easy to be a matchmaker. If the couple is doing well, they may not necessarily remember the matchmaker's kindness. If the couple is not doing well, they will definitely remember the matchmaker's faults. If the two people like each other and are suitable, we should not stop them. I won't interfere in other matters."

Le Zhengfang picked up some food for Mu Xin, who took the bowl and accepted it respectfully. Then she wanted to pick up some food for Le Zheng Yuhua, who also took it respectfully.

Several people ate quietly and seldom spoke. Those who chatted were just asking Mu Xin if she would get used to it, or if she could ask her if she was not used to it. Le Zhengfang did not take Mu Xin as an opportunity to ask questions for the time being.

After the meal, several people sat together again and chatted about some trivial matters. They reminded Le Zheng Yuhua to behave like a husband. Le Zheng Yuhua could only nod his head in acceptance.

After sitting for another half an hour, Le Zhengfang was tired of such idle chatter and made an excuse that he was tired and wanted to lie down for a while. Bai Zhi also said that she had things to do in Huichun Hall, so she took her leave first.

Le Zheng Yuhua and Mu Xin were left behind and wanted to leave, but when Le Ying was halfway through teaching Le Zhengying, Le Zhengfang said that they could go out for a walk and get to know Le Zheng better, so the two had to agree to leave.

Walking on the bridge, Mu Xin looked at the scenery on both sides and couldn't help but stop to watch. Le Zheng Yuhua also had to stop, and the two of them were silent for a while.

Mu Xin's eyes could not distinguish colors. Even though the lotus flowers in the lake were in full bloom, they looked nothing more than those in an ink painting. Sometimes it was even worse than looking at a painting. Paintings have pigments that can be used to color them, but without magic, she could not distinguish any color.

Back then, in order for her to see the scenery of the world, Yinuo tried every possible way. With the efforts of everyone, she used a kind of colorful stone to create a colorful and beautiful scenery for Mu Xin.

However, what Mu Xin could see in her eyes was not only the beautiful scenery they created, but also traces of magic. After all, it was just a lifelike painting rather than real beautiful scenery.

Mu Xin recalled the past and couldn't help but reach out her hand, but she caught nothing and her expression became sad.

Feeling that Le Zheng Yuhua was still by her side, she held on to a sense of hope and slowly asked him, "Are these lotus flowers beautiful? What color are the flowers? What color are the leaves? What color are the fish in the water?"

Le Zheng Yuhua was stunned by the question. He didn't know that Mu Xin couldn't tell the difference between right and wrong. For a moment, he didn't know how she would answer and what she meant by asking this question.

When Mu Xin turned to look at him, he slowly said: "The flowers are pink, the leaves are green, and these are koi, so they are..."

He was stopped by Mu Xin's sudden tears. Seeing her so sad, Le Zheng Yuhua didn't know what he had done wrong, nor did he know why she was sad. He couldn't think of a word of comfort. He could only watch her turn and look away.

"You're not him, I'm so stupid."

"I……"

"I want to go for a walk alone."

Le Zheng Yuhua couldn't stop her and could only watch her walk away sadly. She didn't even have the courage to follow her.

"You're not him, I'm so stupid."

"It turns out that she also has someone she likes."
