After going out, Lu Yun went straight to Ji Mo's room, knocked on the door, and smelled the faintly sour smell on Ji Mo's body. She wrinkled her nose in disgust.

  "You come out and talk to us after you're done washing up, what have you all been doing for over a month?"

  The disdain in his voice was almost overflowing, completely different from the gentleness he showed when talking about idle things. He finished speaking and turned to leave without a hint of lingering sentiment.

  Witnessing her disdain, Ji Mo's face showed no inner turmoil as he calmly closed the door and went to wash up. His mother's dislike of him not being a little girl wasn't something that happened overnight.

  He finished washing up and tidying himself but didn't rest instead went downstairs.

  There's plenty of time, and they can rest anytime, but if they come back in such a strange manner without explaining clearly, these elders will inevitably worry.

  When she waited for her to come down, she found Ji Mo sitting upright as if being interrogated.

  "Xiao Yu, what are you doing coming down here? Why aren't you resting?" Lu Yun asked as she sat facing the stairs.

  "I'll come down and chat with you guys for a bit before I go rest, it's not late." She said as she walked over to Ji Mo's side and sat down, looking at him curiously.

  Before Ji Mo could respond, the housekeeper turned to her and said, "Xiao Yu, you didn't get hurt, did you? Ji Mo took you to the mountain, how could you follow him on such a reckless adventure, it's so dangerous!"

  Xian Yu's face was bewildered, how did it become Qimiao taking her to the mountain? Wasn't Qimiao supposed to follow her instead?

  "I told them it was you they should go with, but they didn't believe me." Ji Mo no longer sat upright, instead he wrapped his arms around her and explained in a gentle voice.

  "You also said that Xiao Yu, a girl, how can she ask to travel to those deep mountains and forests?" Old Master Ji slammed his cane on the ground, making a dull sound.

  Xian Yu couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, as Ji Mo had taken the blame for her.

  "Uncle Ji, Housekeeper Uncle, you've misunderstood Ji Mo. It was me who wanted to go to the mountain, and Ji Mo just accompanied me." She put on a very sincere expression, trying her best to explain.

  Unfortunately, the two elderly people did not believe what she said and thought she was making excuses for Ji Mo.

  "Stop making excuses for him, Xiao Yu!" Old Master Ji first said to Xian Yu in a gentle tone, then shifted his gaze to Ji Mo, his voice suddenly becoming somewhat disapproving. "I was wondering how you suddenly became so clever and knew to take your girlfriend on a trip. It turns out you brought her to the deep mountains and old forests to feed bugs! You say, if it weren't for Xiao Yu's kindness, what would have happened to that...that iron whatever man of yours?"

  Uncle suddenly became a "steel straight man" out of nowhere

  Old Qi continued, "Right, right, you're a steel-straight man. With your personality as a steel-straight man, someone like Ruyi will eventually be unable to tolerate you."

  How did the Ji family produce such a block of wood, always with a cold face, and not knowing how to be considerate of girls, not even a bit like his usual self.

  His dad is stronger than him, at least his dad knew to actively pursue Lu Yun and bring her back home.

  "No, Uncle Ji, it's really me who wants to go to the mountain, Season Mo is just accompanying me." Seeing that they didn't believe her, Xian Yu explained again, her voice somewhat urgent.

  "Girl, don't help him lie anymore. We still don't understand what kind of person he is, just a stubborn fool." Old Master Ji looked at Ji Mo with some disdain.

  Others surprisingly also agreed with the adjective "elm knot", nodding in agreement.

  Even the usually stingy butler, Old Man Qi, nodded in agreement.

  She helplessly looked at Ji Mo, this rigid impression was too deeply rooted, she had already tried her best to explain, but they simply didn't believe her, firmly thinking that it was Ji Mo who had taken her on a trip to the mountains.

  "Let me tell you, don't be skeptical, he's really a blockhead. Once at a banquet, a little girl accidentally fell towards him, do you know what he did?" To make Xiao Yu and the others laugh, Lu Yun began to illustrate with an example.

  "Mom" Ji Mo helplessly called out to Lu Yun, attempting to stop her from continuing.

  "What's wrong with you? Are you afraid I'll say something if you dare to do it? Just mentioning this makes me angry"

  Rarely did he get his curiosity piqued, guessing at Ji Mo's actions, "He won't dodge now, will he? Let the girl fall to the ground?"

  Lu Yun sneered, "If he had done it this way, I wouldn't have been so angry."

  "No, madam, I think this matter has passed. Otherwise, let's give Xiao Mo some face and not mention it again." Ji Fu suddenly also had a strange expression and stopped Lu Yun from continuing to speak.

  Lu Yun's expression on her face turned slightly disdainful, "I think you two are birds of a feather"

  I became even more curious, what on earth happened that made both Old Master Ji and Butler Grandfather have a stifling smile, while Uncle Ji looked somewhat worried and entangled, and even Ji Mo's face had a hint of helplessness.

  Lu Yun also didn't sell Guan Zi, and she brushed off her uncle's hand that was tugging on her sleeve, saying to Xian Yu, "Saying he has a wooden brain is actually praising him, he's simply a genius. At the time, I was just a little girl, and I almost fell into his arms, but with one swift move, he pulled his dad over to his seat, and let me fall directly into his dad's arms instead. Tell me, wasn't I angry?"

  Lu Yungang had just finished speaking when Old Master Ji and Housekeeper Grandfather burst out laughing. They were both present at the scene and witnessed it with their own eyes.

  Having been stifled for half a day, she finally couldn't bear it and burst out laughing. She turned sideways to look at Qī Mò's slightly reddened ears and teased, "Second Lieutenant, your action is quite swift!"

  Ji Mo couldn't help but gently squeeze her hand and softly said "Know when to stop."

  He was just an unconscious emergency response at the time, and he didn't even see clearly who was beside him before pulling him over to block. It wasn't until after pulling that he realized it was his dad.

  Later, no matter how he apologized to Lu Yun, Lu Yun was displeased with him. He had to buy a week's worth of different jade accessories before she was placated.

  "Madam, you said it was enough that I was angry with Ji Mo, why did you make me angry?" Seasonal father sighed and asked Lu Yun.

  Something so embarrassing was told by her to Xian Yu, what face would he have left in front of these younger generations.

  "Hmph, you said I'm angry with you, Season Mo knows to hide, how come you don't know to hide? It's really letting that little girl throw herself into your arms"

  Although they were all from a military background, and had been trained through thick and thin in the army, Ji Mo had managed to avoid it, but he knew that being gentle and considerate was something he couldn't evade.

  His uncle was also helpless, he wanted to dodge too, but at that time, he was pulled by Ji Mo and had no defense, and due to inertia, he almost couldn't stand still, how could he dodge?

  "My uncle didn't explain and bluntly apologized: 'I'm sorry madam, I wasn't quick-witted enough, it was my fault.'"

  Sometimes, explanations are useless and will only provoke a woman's anger, making it bigger and bigger until she is furious, and in the end, you're the one who has to put out the fire.

  Why bother? Take advantage of the fire being small and put it out as soon as possible.
