Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

But... she narrowed her eyes slightly and shook her head gently. Her gaze slowly moved to the mother and daughter, especially Murong Rouer's clear yet hopeful eyes, which made her feel sympathetic.

She took a deep breath, calmed her inner turmoil, and then said firmly: "Third Aunt, Rou'er, I can't give you the banknote.

After all, I have severed ties with the General's Mansion. What happens to the General's Mansion has nothing to do with me.

But if the General's Mansion cannot accommodate you, I, Murong Zixi, am willing to give you a place to stay."

Hearing this, both mother and daughter showed shock and gratitude on their faces.

Their eyes widened and their mouths slightly opened, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

After a while, the Third Aunt came back to her senses, and hurriedly pulled Murong Rou'er, kneeling on the ground with trembling knees, and said in a choked voice: "Thank you, Miss! I have no other wishes in this life, I just hope to have a place to settle down, so that Rou'er can be protected from the wind and rain, and mother and daughter can depend on each other, which is the greatest happiness."

Murong Zixi sighed softly, an indescribable emotion welling up in her heart.

She looked at the mother and daughter kneeling on the ground in front of her, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She waved her sleeves lightly, motioning Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu to step forward and help up the poor mother and daughter.

Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu hurried forward and helped Third Aunt and Murong Rouer up.

Both of them had tear marks on their faces and their bodies were trembling slightly, obviously still immersed in excitement.

Murong Zixi smiled slightly and said softly: "You don't have to do this."

"You stay here first. I'll arrange your place when I find a suitable place." Her tone was gentle, making people feel warm and at ease. Then, she picked up a plate of exquisite pastries from the table and handed it to Murong Rouer.

Murong Rouer looked at the pastries in front of her, and a hint of hesitation arose in her heart.

She raised her head timidly, looked at Murong Zixi, and asked cautiously: "Big sister...can I really eat it?"

Murong Zixi smiled slightly, "Of course, these are just some ordinary cakes, you can eat them without worry, if it's not enough, let Xiao Cui bring you some more."

However, the Third Aunt frowned and said worriedly: "Miss, although you are willing to take us in, I am very grateful, but my indenture is still in the General's Mansion..."

Murong Zixi raised her eyebrows slightly and said disapprovingly: "Anyway, the general's mansion has been looted now, and maybe even your indenture contract has disappeared along with it! So, you can stay here without worry."

At this time, Xiaolu at the side couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Miss, the slave status is registered with the government."

Murong Zixi smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will find a way to solve this matter. When the time is right, I will naturally help Third Aunt change her slave status. Now, you can live here with peace of mind."

The Third Aunt was so excited that her eyes filled with tears. Her legs went weak and she was about to kneel down, but Xiaolu quickly supported her.

"Third Aunt, what are you doing? Get up quickly! Our eldest lady doesn't like others kneeling in front of her," Xiaolu said hurriedly.

The Third Aunt's eyes were blurred with tears, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Miss, I really don't know what to say. I originally thought that when I came here today, Miss might ignore us, or even humiliate us.

But I didn't expect that the young lady would be willing to take us in. I am so grateful, thank you, young lady, thank you, young lady..."

Murong Zixi smiled and shook her head. She noticed that Murong Rouer was carefully picking up a piece of dessert, taking a light bite, and a satisfied and happy smile gradually appeared on her face.

"Big sister, this pastry is so delicious. I have never tasted anything so tasty." Murong Rouer had a smile on her face. She was no longer as reserved as before, and her eyes were shining with happiness.

However, although she praised the pastry highly, she did not greedily take more.

Murong Zixi saw this and couldn't help but feel a surge of pity in her heart.

She whispered to Xiao Cui beside her, "Xiao Cui, go prepare a room for them and let them stay there temporarily."

Xiao Cui nodded respectfully, walked slowly to the Third Aunt and Murong Rouer, with a friendly smile on her face, and said softly: "Third Aunt, Fourth Miss, please follow me." After that, she turned around gracefully and left with light steps.

However, when they were about to leave, Murong Rouer still looked at the remaining pastries on the stone table reluctantly, her eyes full of longing.

After Xiao Cui led the people away, Xiao Lu couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "The eldest lady is really kind-hearted and willing to lend a hand to help them. In fact, they are really pitiful. Their life in the general's mansion is even worse than that of a slave!"

Hearing this, Murong Zixi's body stiffened slightly, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

She couldn't help but think of her past. Her hands had been stained with countless blood. She was not a kind person.

The reason why he helped this time was only because he saw Murong Rouer's clear, moving and lovable eyes, and he felt pity for her for a moment.
