Chapter 147 The Noble Young Master and the Bloodthirsty Demon Servant 28
After resting for a while, Mu Qing led Zijin to the east courtyard. Looking at Mu's father and mother sitting in the room drinking tea, Mu Qing felt a little panicked, but still mustered up the courage to go in.
"Father, mother."
"Are you back?" Father Mu put down the teacup in his hand and asked calmly.
Mu Qing nodded with a little embarrassment. This was the first time he made a mistake and was scolded by his elders. It felt really strange. It was as if he had really become a child who got into trouble, waiting helplessly to be disciplined by his parents. Feeling the tense atmosphere at the moment, Mu Qing felt quite novel.
No one spoke in the room. As time went by, the atmosphere in the room became more and more solemn, as if time had stopped. Mu Qing stood there silently, waiting for the scolding or punishment from his father and mother.
However, after a moment of silence, Father Mu suddenly sighed, picked up the teapot beside him and poured two cups of tea, while pouring the tea he spoke.
"Sit down and tell us what happened." Why did you suddenly skip class? Why did you lie to them?
Mu Mu also put down the needle and thread in her hands and looked up at Mu Qing.
Mu's father and his friends thought they were very tolerant towards their children. If Qing'er didn't want to go to school today and wanted to go out for a walk, they would agree if she told them the truth. So why should she lie to them?
Mu's father and mother really couldn't understand it.
Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, then pulled out a chair next to him and sat down. After sorting out his thoughts, Mu Qing told the story half-truthfully, but of course he did not tell Mu's father and mother about Zi Jin's true identity.
It’s not that I don’t trust them, but even if I tell them about this, it will only add to their worries and troubles. It would be better for them not to know from the beginning.
"So that's how it is." Father and Mother Mu nodded, their eyes full of thought. Father Mu took a sip of tea, then raised his head and asked, "Where is the boy you mentioned?"
"He is outside. He just came in with me, but I didn't let him in." Mu Qing pointed in the direction of the door. Mu's father and mother looked in the direction he pointed and saw a black shadow.
"Then let him come in and take a look first! If there is no problem, then he can stay. Qing'er will have a playmate." Mu's mother said. She and the master had just had this son when they were middle-aged. Qing'er had not been in good health before, and they were afraid that he would go out and something would happen, so they kept him in the house.
As a result, Qing'er has grown up without even a playmate, and the only person of the same age around her is Ping'an.
Although Ping'an has a good personality, he is just a servant after all. It's okay for him to talk and laugh at ordinary times, but once something serious happens, Ping'an dare not intervene.
Firstly, he didn't have the courage and confidence, and secondly, Ping'an's parents were servants in his family. Even if Qing'er didn't say anything, Ping'an's parents would give him a lot of instructions, so Ping'an was very clear about their relationship.
Ping An could be a loyal servant and die for Qing'er, but he could not be a friend or playmate to help Qing'er and give him advice.
Now that I have the chance to meet someone of my age, if there is no problem with his character, then I will stay with him! It just so happens that he is quite skilled and can protect Qing'er at ordinary times.
Mu's father didn't say anything, but he tacitly agreed with what Mu's mother said. Seeing this, Mu Qing called Zijin in.
Looking at the three people in the room, the carefree Zijin became a little restrained for a moment. He looked a little shy and introverted, which was completely unlike his usual reckless self.
Mu Qing looked at Zijin and couldn't stop smiling.
Pulling Zijin to sit next to them, Mu Qing and Mu's father and mother introduced Zijin's identity using the words they had prepared long ago.
Mu's father listened without saying anything, but asked for some more details. Seeing that what Zijin said was basically correct, he nodded. It seemed that there was no problem with his identity.
Although it can be seen that the young man in front of him is hiding something, most of the information should be correct. Mu's father does not care much about those minor details. Everyone has some secrets.
It would be enough as long as the young man in front of him had no bad intentions towards the Mu family and Qing'er.
Of course, Mu Mu had nothing to say. She just felt very satisfied with the young man in front of her, and the pity in her heart was about to overflow.
It is unexpected that such a smart and talented young man had such a tragic past. He is also an orphan and has to travel the world without a home. It is really pitiful.
Zi Jin noticed the good intentions of the two people and immediately climbed up the pole with a desolate look. The pity in Mu Mu's eyes was almost overflowing, and she turned to look at Mu Fu beside her.
Father Mu nodded slightly, acknowledging Zijin's identity.
"In that case, Zijin, you should stay at the Mu family! I see that you have a good relationship with Qing'er, so why not live with him? Then you two can have someone to take care of you."
"Father, what about Zijin's identity..." Mu Qing looked at his father. He couldn't possibly let Zijin be his servant!
Father Mu rolled his eyes at Mu Qing, a hint of helplessness flashing across his eyes.
"Zijin's family background is clean, and he has not signed any contract with the Mu family, so of course he is a guest." After Father Mu finished speaking, he lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, "If anyone asks, just say that he is a friend's child who came to seek refuge!"
After saying this, Father Mu looked at Zijin who was sitting next to him. Zijin immediately nodded obediently, looking submissive.
"Thank you, Uncle Mu!"
Father Mu was stunned for a moment, and then didn't say anything. Since Zijin had helped Qing'er, and he said that he was the son of an old friend, it was only natural for him to call him uncle.
"Yeah." After Father Mu nodded, Zijin looked at Mother Mu beside him and called her Aunt Mu sweetly. Mother Mu looked at Zijin's well-behaved and sensible appearance, her eyes full of love.
This child is not only good-looking, but also has a well-behaved personality. If she were not so old, she would have wanted to have another child like this with the master.
You know, Qing'er was very well-behaved when she was born, and her pair of big watery eyes made her heart melt.
Unfortunately, Qing'er had been in poor health since her mother's womb, and she was weak even after she was born. In order to take care of Qing'er and not give birth to another child like Qing'er, she and the master gave up the idea of having another child to make up a good family.
