Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 415: Unavoidable Fear

On the morning of the tenth day of July, Xiaojun, the maid of the Mo family, followed the mistress's instructions and brought breakfast to Miss Mo Lixiao.

When I opened the door, I found that the lady who was originally locked in the boudoir was missing.

Xiaojun screamed, and the Mo family's backyard was in complete panic. Mrs. Mo ordered the servants to look for her daughter everywhere, hoping to find her before the master of the Mo family came back.

At this time, Miss Mo had already entered the backyard of the Zong family. The two wives of the Zong family looked at the woman in front of them, who looked embarrassed but had a firm look in her eyes, and couldn't help asking, "What happened?"

Mo Li smiled and said simply, "I ran away from home." She knelt down in front of Madam Zong, "Please help me, Madam, and send me to Beishan County."

Madam Zong was stunned for a long time before she took action. She took two steps forward and helped the man up. "You are too bold, kid!"

Even the experienced Madam Zong couldn't avoid feeling scared.

At least this man still had some brains and knew to come to the clan mansion to ask her for help. If he had acted impulsively and left the city alone to Liangzhou, she would have become a sinner.

Madam Zong ordered the servants to bring hot water for Mo Lixiao to wash up, and at the same time comforted her, "Your parents don't agree with you going to Liangzhou, right?"

"Yes."

"This is a serious matter, so it's understandable that they don't agree for now." Madam Zong said, "Talk to them nicely. Once they understand your situation, I think they will agree."

Mo Li smiled and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until they understand me."

Madam Zong touched Mo Lixiao's shoulder and said, "They have raised you for many years. You must not leave without saying goodbye and make them worry about you. Since you can't convince them, I will come forward and speak for you."

Mo Lixiao looked at Madam Zong with gratitude, "Thank you, Madam."

Although she said so, Mo Lixiao didn't think that Madam Zong could convince her parents.

Madam Zong wiped Mo Lixiao's face and said, "I'll ask the servants to go to your house and tell them. When you're done washing up, I'll take you back with me." At this moment, a maid came in and announced, "Master Meng is here."

Mo Li smiled and looked up at the maid who was speaking.

The maid continued, "I listened for a while. Master Meng said that after seeing the old master, he was going back to Beishan County."

"Got it." Madam Zong turned to Zong Shouqing's wife and said, "Go prepare some things for the journey and have Changqing take them with you."

The maid seemed to have something to say, but Madam Zong did not give her a chance to speak.

Only after following Madam Zong out of the room did the maid ask, "Madam, since Master Meng is here, why don't you let Master Meng take Miss Mo away directly?"

Madam Zong scolded in a low voice, "What the hell! If a decent child does something like this, and it gets out, will the two of them still have a good reputation?"

The maid who thought she had done a good thing only then realized that in the eyes of the two ladies, the good thing she was trying to facilitate was simply ridiculous.

As for Meng Changqing, she didn't know that there were guests in the Zong family's backyard.

She followed Zong Shouqing to see Zong Ruwen, and after personally taking his pulse to confirm his recovery, she said goodbye.

Zong Ruwen did not keep her, knowing that she would be in a hurry to see him.

"Be careful on the road. No matter how fast you are in a hurry, don't put yourself in danger." This is all he cared about.

"Changqing remembers this." Meng Changqing said, "I have the imperial guards to protect me, and with the help of fast horses, I can reach Liangzhou in ten days. Master, if there is no news back to the capital, it means that I have arrived safely. Please don't worry about me."

Zong Ruwen leaned on the couch and nodded, "Go ahead."
