Chapter 107: Little Miss, are you okay? Do you still recognize me?
"Miss, I entered the general's mansion when my madam was eight months old. I had enough milk at that time, so I was sent to your side by the old madam to take care of you after you gave birth." The nanny said slowly, with a hint of emotion and reminiscence in her tone.
Murong Zixi listened quietly, and the scene at that time emerged in her mind.
"At that time, I was very surprised. When you were born, the master was not happy. Instead, he had a gloomy face." The nanny continued, revealing a hint of doubt and confusion in her eyes.
"At that time, I thought that the master's wife had a heavy hemorrhage and died when she gave birth to you. You were a girl, and the master was sad that his wife had passed away, so he didn't like you."
"But I haven't heard that Madam..." The nanny hesitated to speak, as if she had something to hide.
Murong Zixi couldn't help but become curious and asked, "Mammy, do you know something? Please tell me!"
Matron hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell Murong Zixi what she knew. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "In fact, before Madam gave birth to you, she had a fierce quarrel with the master, which caused her miscarriage and you were born prematurely. However, I discovered at that time that you looked like a full-term baby despite being born prematurely. I just thought that it was because Madam ate well when she was pregnant, so the young lady grew up well, and I didn't think about other things."
Murong Zixi widened her eyes, her face full of surprise. Could it be that the original owner's mother was already pregnant when she married Murong Yunhai?
Xiaocui and Xiaolu were listening quietly at the side. They were about the same age as Murong Zixi. In fact, when the old lady of the Loyalty Marquis Mansion sent them here, it was because Murong Zixi had an accident when she was six years old.
Before this, she had always been taken care of by her mother's four maids. But after she got into trouble, the old lady was very angry and thought that they had not fulfilled their responsibility to protect Murong Zixi, so she drove them all to the manor.
Originally, Nanny Li was also going to be driven away, but at that time Murong Zixi would only stop crying and making a fuss in Nanny Li's arms, so Nanny Li was able to continue staying to take care of the original owner.
Murong Zixi fell into deep thought. If Nanny Li didn't know about this, then my mother's personal maid must know the inside story. And what about my grandmother? Did she know all this too?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little confused. If her grandmother really knew that she was not Murong Yunhai's biological daughter, why did she allow her to be raised in the general's mansion?
Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu looked at each other. Seeing their eldest daughter in deep thought, they could not help. The two maids silently retreated and prepared some cakes and tea and brought them up.
Murong Zixi suddenly came back to her senses from her contemplation, her eyes flashing with determination and resoluteness, "Xiaolu, let Xiaomuzi prepare the carriage, we're leaving the city."
Xiaolu left immediately, leaving behind Li Ma's concerned inquiries.
"Miss, are you going to ask the maids around the Madam?" There was a hint of worry in Nanny Li's words, but she was also full of support for Murong Zixi's decision.
Murong Zixi nodded slightly, and when she came back, she casually threw the box on the table. When no one was paying attention, she quietly put it into the space.
"I will go too."
"Um"
Not long after Murong Zixi came back, she went out again and got on the carriage.
As Xiao Muzi skillfully drove the carriage, the group slowly drove out of the city gate and headed towards the farm outside the city.
Xiao Muzi's figure looks particularly tall in the sun. Xiao Muzi is the son of Nanny Li, who is only a few months older than Murong Zixi. He is very smart. Nanny Li's husband died of illness a few years ago, but fortunately there is Xiao Muzi, so Nanny Li still has hope.
Inside Prince Zhan's mansion, Jun Feimo was handling government affairs in the study when suddenly, a secret guard walked in.
"Your Highness, I just received news that Miss Murong has left the city." The secret guard reported.
Hearing this news, Jun Feimo's eyes changed slightly, and a strange light flashed across them. He put down the pen in his hand, thought for a moment and said, "Tianyi, prepare the horses. I am going to stay in the villa outside the city for a few days."
Tian Yi responded and turned away. He muttered to himself, "Oh, my master! You clearly told me not to get close to Miss Murong recently, lest the Queen Mother's people find out and make me dislike her even more. But when you heard that Miss Murong was leaving the city, you immediately followed her. Alas!"
However, Tianyi still hopes that his master can marry the beauty as soon as possible.
After half an hour of bumpy ride, the carriage finally slowly stopped in a quiet countryside.
Murong Zixi gently opened the curtains, and the sunlight shone through the gaps onto her gentle face, adding a bit of soft radiance to her. She gracefully stretched out her hands, as if wanting to embrace this long-lost nature, then closed her eyes and took a deep breath of fresh air.
It is the unique scent of the countryside, mixed with the fragrance of soil and flowers, making people feel extremely comfortable.
"Miss, the farm is just ahead." Nanny Li's voice sounded gently.
Murong Zixi nodded gently, then slowly walked out of the carriage. She was wearing a lavender dress with fluttering sleeves, like a fairy descending from the earth.
The villagers were either bending over to work or looking up, their eyes were all focused on this strange woman. They were curious about this woman with gorgeous clothes and elegant temperament, and wondered why she came to this remote village.
When they noticed that Murong Zixi was followed by a group of servants and maids, they were filled with awe towards her.
Just as the group was about to enter the village, a woman holding a young child hurried back.
Her eyes froze the moment they met Murong Zixi, her lips trembled slightly, as if she couldn't believe her eyes.
Her voice was full of surprise and confusion: "Young...Miss? Madam Li..." This sudden shout broke the tranquility in the manor and made Murong Zixi and others stop.
When Nanny Li heard the voice, she looked over and the wrinkles on her face were instantly smoothed out by a smile.
She walked forward quickly, tears glistening in her eyes, and said excitedly: "Mo Xiang? Have you been okay these years?"
Mo Xiang held Li Ma's hand tightly, tears blurred her eyes, and her voice was choked with sobs: "I, I, Li Ma, why did you come back suddenly? And you brought the young lady with you?"
Murong Zixi carefully looked at the woman in front of her. She was skinny, her skin was dry, and she was dressed simply. It was obvious that she had suffered a lot in the countryside.
Murong Zixi asked softly, "Are you Mo Xiang?"
Mo Xiang was stunned when she heard that, then her eyes turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked, "Miss...Miss, are you okay? You still recognize me?" Her voice trembled, full of disbelief and surprise.
