He refused!!!

"Well, go away." Dongfang Qingmo waved his hand impatiently, making a gesture to drive him away.

Although Dongfang Qingmo's family gave her a lot of pocket money every month, the original owner had never had the chance to spend it since she was always at home, so she accumulated a lot of wealth in her small private treasury.

Dongfang Qingshui could find such a precious treasure, Dongfang Qingmo thought, he must have more good things in his hands.

Who would complain about having too much money? ! !

She could buy material things herself, all she needed was money! Lots of money!

"Give it to me, I'll give it to you, just wait!" Dongfang Qingshui agreed helplessly.

After all, he was indeed in the wrong in this matter. At worst, he could ask his father for some more.

Dongfang Qingmo looked at Dongfang Qingshui's hurriedly leaving back and couldn't help laughing out loud.

At dinner time, Dongfang Qiong and Dongfang Ti both came back.

Even her grandparents came to the front hall.

When Dongfang Qingmo walked in, she greeted everyone one by one.

Grandmother Qin Huailan smiled and waved, motioning her to come to her side.

"Mo'er, let grandma take a good look."

Her grandfather, Dongfang Yiba, was watching her quietly. Suddenly, he slammed the table so hard that even the teacups on the table flew up.

"This is too much! This is absolutely too much! Such a big thing happened, and you actually hid it from us!" he said angrily.

Dongfang Qiong and others shrank their necks and dared not respond.

The old man is still as majestic as ever.

"Mo'er, you've suffered!" Qin Huailan held the back of Dongfang Qingmo's hand and said distressedly, "You've lost weight..."

Dongfang Qingmo: ???

How come she didn't notice that she had lost weight?

"This Luo family deserves to die, Ah Qiong. You have become too opinionated now and don't even look at me as your father." Dongfang Yiba slammed the table again when he saw that no one paid attention to him.

Dongfang Qiong, whose name was called, took a deep breath. "Father, the matter has been resolved. Luo Youzhu has been brought back by us. Let Mo'er decide what to do with her and Xiaoru."

Dongfang Qingmo said, "It's all up to Daddy and Second Uncle to decide."

During the previous interrogation, she still mustered up the courage to go.

If I let her handle it again, it would be too much of a compliment to her. She's not used to it yet...

"Okay, then Daddy will make the decision!"

After the two brothers went out, they went straight to the Luo family.

They explained their purpose to the Luo family. Luo Ji initially tried to argue, insisting that the matter had nothing to do with his family, and called Luo Youzhu for a confrontation.

However, Luo Youzhu denied it outright and claimed that he knew nothing about it.

Dongfang Qiong was furious and threw the evidence directly in Luo Ji's face. It was a letter written in Luo Youzhu's handwriting and a butterfly hair accessory.

Faced with such conclusive evidence, Luo Youzhu's face turned pale in an instant, but she still refused to admit it.

Dongfang Qiong saw this and said mercilessly: "From now on, you guys should never hang around in Jiangnan again!"

This sentence scared Luo Ji a lot, because he knew that the Dongfang family was very powerful. If they were driven out of Jiangnan, their family would never be able to make a comeback.

So, Luo Ji handed over his concubine's daughter Luo Youzhu without hesitation, hoping to calm the anger of the Dongfang family.

He even flattered Dongfang Ti in an attempt to salvage the situation.

But Dongfang Qiong and Dongfang Ti didn't give Luo Ji any good look at all. They ordered their men to take Luo Youzhu with them and left Luo Mansion without looking back.

Dongfang Yiba continued, "Not only that, the Luo family must not be let off! They dared to harm my Mo'er just now, they all deserve to die."

Dongfang Ti nodded repeatedly and agreed, "Father is right. We must plan carefully and slowly lead them down the path of destruction."

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you!" Dongfang Yiba nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Dongfang Qingmo hurriedly said, "Grandfather, grandma, I'm fine now." As he said that, he gently pressed his cheek against the back of Qin Huailan's hand, feeling the warmth from his grandmother's palm.

Qin Huailan gently stroked Dongfang Qingmo's hair, her eyes full of love.

Then he turned to look at the pillar beside him and called softly, "Sister Yun."

There was only a crisp response, and a little girl about the same age as Dongfang Qingmo walked out from behind the pillar with a hint of shyness on her face.

Qin Huailan looked at Dongfang Qingmo and introduced him, "Mo'er, Yunmei is Yunniang's daughter. She has been learning martial arts since she was a child and is very skilled. From now on, let her stay by your side and protect you."

It turned out that Yunniang was Qin Huailan's personal maid. When Qin Huailan was not yet married, Qin's mother gave Yunniang to her as a precious gift.

And now, this friendship has been passed on to the next generation.

Dongfang Qingmo was filled with gratitude after hearing what her grandmother said, and she quickly thanked her grandmother: "Thank you, Grandma!"

"Mo'er, daddy has also prepared a few maids for you. They all know some martial arts." Dongfang Qiong said to Dongfang Qingmo with a smile on his face.

Before Dongfang Qingmo could say anything, Dongfang Qiong clapped his hands gently, and then six maids with pretty faces and graceful figures walked in from outside.

They lowered their heads, with immature and nervous expressions on their faces, and stood behind Dongfang Qiong one by one.

Seeing this scene, Dongfang Qingmo couldn't help but be surprised: "So many?!"

She didn't expect Dongfang Qiong to prepare so many maids for her, and she was a little at a loss for a moment.

This is like a talent show!

She also needs to recruit them all.

Dongfang Ti explained with a smile: "This is still not enough. Big brother originally wanted to pick ten for you!" He looked at Dongfang Qingmo, his eyes full of doting.

Dongfang Qingmo was immediately embarrassed and secretly complained. She always liked quietness, especially when she lived in her own yard, where she wanted to enjoy a quiet time. If so many people came at once, she didn't know how to deal with it and would probably feel very embarrassed.

"Dad, I don't need so many maids. Two more will be enough. Give the rest to mom!" Dongfang Qingmo quickly said to Dongfang Qiong, hoping to reduce the number of people.

Yu Jing smiled and shook her head, saying gently: "Mother already has enough maids. These are specially prepared for Mo'er. You can accept them."

She knew her daughter liked quietness, but as a mother, she preferred someone to take care of her daughter.

Qin Huailan: "Mo'er, just accept it."

"Okay, then I'll accept it. Thank you, grandma, and thank you, dad!" So many people have said this, and it would be ungrateful for her to refuse.

"We are all from the same family, no matter what two families say."

"You guys go down first."

After the maids had left, Dongfang Qingshui finally arrived. He walked over slowly with a listless look on his face.

Dongfang Qiong was so angry when he saw his son's appearance that he raised his hand and slapped Dongfang Qingshui heavily on the back.

Yu Jing hurriedly grabbed Dongfang Qiong and glared at him: "What are you doing? You hit the child so hard! You'll hurt him!"

Qin Huailan also said unhappily: "A Qiong! How can you treat a child like this? If you keep beating him like this, he will become stupid!"

Dongfang Yiba and Dongfang Ti didn't say anything, but men cannot be spoiled.

The more you spoil him, the more of a bastard he becomes, with a lot of bad habits.

Dongfang Qingshui screamed in pain: "Dad, why did you hit me? It hurts!"

Dongfang Qiong seemed not to hear and continued to ask: "I want to ask you, why do you look so listless?"

"It's okay!" Dongfang Qingshui secretly groaned in his heart, thinking that he had suffered a great loss this time. He gave all his private money to Mo'er and was now penniless.

Dongfang Qiong snorted coldly, "It's good that you're okay, but don't be so dejected all day long, it's disgraceful!"

"I understand." Dongfang Qingshui responded helplessly, then greeted the elders in turn: "Grandfather, grandmother, mother, second uncle."

When Dongfang Qingmo saw Dongfang Qingshui's pitiful look, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

She had just received the private money sent by Dongfang Qingshui's servants in the yard, which amounted to 22,534 taels, and even copper coins were taken out.

This brother is really too honest. He must be heartbroken right now, so he doesn't dare to show up in person.

Yu Jing happened to see Dongfang Qingmo's little thing, and vaguely understood what was going on. She quickly tried to smooth things over, "Now that everyone is here, let's have dinner! Qingshui is really something, making so many people wait for you."

As she spoke, she observed everyone's reactions and tried to skip the topic.

The Eastern Tyrant nodded and said majestically, "Then take a seat." His voice was low and powerful, which made people feel awe.

Everyone sat down one after another.

It was not until Dongfang Yiba picked up the first piece of food with chopsticks that everyone started to eat.

As soon as Dongfang Qingmo sat down, his eyes fell on the large plate of crabs in front of him.

It’s so big, it looks delicious!

Finally, hairy crabs have achieved freedom!

Yu Jing glanced at Dongfang Qingmo and saw that she was drooling. She picked up a hairy crab and placed it in her bowl, saying gently, "Mo'er, this is the hairy crab you asked for. This year's hairy crabs are particularly plump and the yield is very plentiful. Come and try it."

When Dongfang Qingmo heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately picked up the hairy crab and savored it carefully.

She ate with gusto, completely ignoring the eyes of people around her.

Dongfang Yiba felt happy as he saw his granddaughter enjoying her meal.

He smiled and said to Dongfang Qingmo, "Mo'er likes to eat it. Grandfather will send people to get it for you every day. As long as you have enough."

Qin Huailan looked at Dongfang Qingmo worriedly and reminded him, "Crabs are cold in nature, Mo'er, don't eat too much."

She was well aware of the impact of these foods on the body and didn't want Dongfang Qingmo to get sick because of his greed.

Dongfang Qingmo listened to his grandmother's words and nodded obediently, with crab roe still in his mouth, and replied vaguely: "Well, thank you grandpa and grandma!"

Her face was filled with a happy smile, making people want to love her.

After dinner, Dongfang Qingmo carefully packed the remaining hairy crabs and returned to her own courtyard with seven maids.

After entering the courtyard, Dongfang Qingmo leisurely sat in the main seat. His slender fingers gently tapped the table and he said calmly, "Please introduce yourselves."

Several people looked at each other, with a trace of confusion and nervousness on their faces, as if they didn't know how to start.

In the end, it was Yunmei who bravely stood up and broke the awkward silence.

"Yes, Miss, my name is Yunmei. I am sixteen years old and have been practicing martial arts for twelve years." Yunmei answered respectfully, with a confident light in her eyes.

Dongfang Qingmo nodded slightly, indicating that she understood the situation. Seeing Yunmei so calm, the other maids followed suit and introduced themselves one by one.

"My name is Chunhua, I am seventeen years old this year and have been practicing martial arts for seven years." Chunhua said with a smile, her tone revealing a sense of steadiness.

"My name is Qiushi. I am also seventeen years old this year and have also been practicing martial arts for seven years." Qiushi followed Chunhua closely. The two looked similar, which made people wonder whether they were related by blood.

Dongfang Qingmo noticed this keenly and asked curiously, "Huh? Are you two twins?"

Chunhua nodded shyly and replied, "Yes, Miss."

"Oh? Then why did you choose..." Dongfang Qingmo hesitated to speak. She wanted to ask them why they chose to be slaves, but she hesitated when the words came to her lips, worried that it would touch upon their sad stories.

Chunhua seemed to understand Dongfang Qingmo's meaning and explained softly, "My dear, my family has many brothers and sisters, and life is difficult, so they decided to let us go out to earn money to support the family."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Dongfang Qingmo suddenly realized, and a feeling of pity surged in his heart.

She knew very well how difficult life was and felt very sympathetic towards the plight of these maids.

"continue."

"My servant Dahua, I am fourteen years old and have been practicing martial arts for six years."

"My servant Xueying is sixteen years old and has been practicing martial arts for eight years."

"My servant Ya'er is eighteen years old and has been practicing martial arts for twelve years."

"My servant Qingliu is twenty years old and has been practicing martial arts for ten years."

After the seven people reported their ages and years of martial arts training in turn, they stood in a row.

"Tell me why you all do this?" he asked with interest.

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

If you want to successfully win over these people's hearts, you naturally have to understand their past.

Everyone told their experiences one after another, and Dongfang Qingmo listened quietly to their stories, gradually gaining an understanding in his mind.

The experiences of these people were similar. Almost all of them were forced to sell themselves into slavery because of family reasons.

Only Yunmei's situation is different and seems a little special.

Dongfang Qingmo stood up, his eyes sweeping over everyone present one by one, and then he slowly said, "Very good. Since you have chosen to follow me, then as long as you put away those little thoughts that are not worth following, and remain loyal to me, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."

"Yes, Miss, we will serve you with all our heart and soul!" everyone responded in unison.

Dongfang Qingmo nodded slightly, then continued, "From today on, Sister Yun will serve as my personal maid and will be responsible for leading you."

In the original owner's memory, she often went to pay her respects to her grandmother and had many contacts with Yunmei. She knew that she was a trustworthy person.
