Chapter 6: The Affection of Licking the Calf

  Xiao Min cautiously looked out at the courtyard, where the crowd had already dispersed, and then turned to gaze at the simple wooden hut, countless thoughts rising in her mind.

  Isn't there a legend of ghosts and gods here? Or is it inhabited by some great evil person? Turning over in my mind thousands of times, yet unknowingly I have already walked to the nearby place.

  Xiao Min took a deep breath, even if she encountered some kind of ghost or monster, it would be better than encountering those evil people who not only gouged out her eyes but also cut off her legs. They wouldn't let her live anyway.

  It had been turning over in his mind a hundred times, a thousand times, and then he stood there, suddenly startled by the "gurgling" sound. He was caught off guard while being highly alert!

  "Ming'er, Ming'er, are you here? Let mother find you easily!" A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind.

  Xiao Min turned around and suddenly saw the middle-aged woman who had just woken up and kept calling her name.

  Looking at the woman in front of her, she was wearing a simple dress, but it couldn't hide her noble aura. Although she didn't wear makeup, her skin looked smooth and radiant, making people want to take a bite just by looking at her.

  Some guesses about the woman's identity in mind?

  Who would have thought that the woman, despite her disheveled appearance, would be swept into his arms, as he exclaimed in a trembling voice, "My Min'er, my Min'er!" His tone was agitated, but more so, it was sorrowful.

  Xiao Min never expected this seemingly weak woman to be so fierce.

  Before she could react, the woman had already pulled her into the house, staring at her with a pained expression, saying many words that she couldn't understand, and as she looked at herself, tears streamed down her face...

  A few days later

  Xiao Min finally understood some things from the woman's mouth.

  It turned out that this woman seemed to have been stimulated and kept calling herself a daughter because she had lost her daughter before!

  Sighing secretly in his heart, though puzzled, he couldn't bear to expose it.

  Besides, my current situation doesn't allow me to not acknowledge this "mother"!

  Thought for a moment, helplessly shook his head, and glanced in the direction of the gate.

  She was secretly calculating in her heart, the woman in front of her had a somewhat useless brain, but she could have her own separate courtyard in this large compound, and even those two arrogant siblings didn't dare to provoke her that day, which meant she was by no means an ordinary person.

  If I could just lean against a big tree and live an idle life like a rice worm, that would be great!

  The more I think about it, the more feasible it seems! Looking at the woman who has always been around him, the smile on Xiao Min's face is as sweet as can be. It doesn't seem like she's pretending.

  This woman also didn't know where she got her magical powers from, but in an instant, the simple wooden table was already filled with pastries.

  Xiao Min, who was already starving and anxious, didn't care about her image anymore. She picked up an unknown object with one hand and stuffed it into her mouth, choking her so much that she rolled her eyes back.

  So, Xiao Min enjoyed good food and drink in the woman's house, and gradually realized that he had indeed crossed over into a dog-blooded era. He asked the woman some questions about this era, but she seemed to be unable to say anything.

  The originally dirty body has also been carefully cleaned by the woman.

  In this way, the two of them got along quite harmoniously. The woman's courtyard didn't have a single maid or servant girl; these days, all their meals were brought by servant girls who stood at the entrance to the courtyard waiting for the woman to take them. Looking at those servants' somewhat trembling expressions when they looked at the woman, it was clear that this woman still held considerable power in this household!

  Xiao Min thought to herself, although everyone knows the principle of making do with what they have, she didn't have anyone worth worrying about in her previous life either. However, being unable to see things clearly like this isn't a long-term solution!

  That day, Xiao Min and 'mother' were having a small drink in the house when suddenly a voice came from outside the courtyard.

  Xiao Min was about to get up, but was pulled back by the woman beside her, who looked at her with a pained expression, indicating that she didn't need to move.

  Xiao Min looked at the woman's genuine face and suddenly felt a strong sense of closeness, unsure if it was because he had never experienced his mother's care in his previous life or if he was just too moved.

  At this moment, the woman had already gotten up and was heading out the door. Xiao Min sprang into action, tiptoeing quietly towards the door. Listening to the sound, there were many people coming. Taking a peek through the gap in the door, he was shocked!

  There was the young lady from the day before yesterday who would cut out her own eyes at the slightest provocation, and next to her was a woman who looked elegant and refined, carefully dressed up with a hint of rouge on her face.

  It turned out to be the Mrs. mentioned by the little servant girl that day!

  At this moment, wearing a large red brocade robe, set off against her well-maintained skin, she exudes an air of nobility. Compared to her current 'mother' who is dressed in plain clothes, they seem like people from two different worlds.

  However, both have their own strengths and weaknesses. Although they are evenly matched in terms of beauty, the innate noble aura of his mother cannot be compared to this woman's acquired elegance.

  A group of people coming here must be up to no good! They wouldn't actually gouge out their own eyes before they'd give up, would they?

  The woman in the big red shirt looked at her 'mother' with a smile on her face, which seemed to deepen as if she were familiar with her 'mother'.

  Warmly reached out and grasped her arm, although the smile did not reach his eyes, it made the maid Xiao Si beside him also admire the lady's magnanimity.

  "How have you been lately, sister?" A smile filled her face, but it was like the unfathomable depths of a dark pool! Her sincere eyes looked at the woman in front of her, as if she were genuinely concerned.

  "Get out - all of you get out?" However, it seems that his own 'mother' doesn't buy this, the violent voice didn't put this woman in a red shirt in her eyes.

  At a glance, it was clear that the woman in the bright red shirt was a ruthless killer. Just as Xiao Min was worriedly looking at her 'mother', she unexpectedly glared angrily at the woman in red with a clear head.

  This is probably what they mean by "when words don't mesh, three sentences are too many", Xiao Min thought to herself with a sigh.

  However, the fierce tone made the woman in red, who was used to being flattered by everyone, look a bit ugly. She looked at the woman in white in front of her, but still didn't lose her temper!

  Her heaving chest could indicate her current anger, but a warm smile still hung on her face, as if she was about to say something.

  "Chieh, a madwoman, how dare you speak to my mother like that!" Xue Ruo's mother had never been treated with such disrespect before.

  Besides, she had always been living a life of being pampered by everyone, and couldn't bear her mother's usual teachings anymore, so she spoke out in anger.

  Xiao Min looked at the arrogant woman and worriedly glanced at her calm 'mother', what if they were taking advantage of their numbers?

  Although 'mother' is not as luxurious as theirs, she can't hide her majestic aura, and for a moment, she doesn't fall behind.
