The palm of her hand was still rubbing the bottom of the cup involuntarily, as if the wind chill brought by coming in from outside was still around her.

Seeing her like this, Wanchun felt pity for a while, thinking that although she is now a celebrity at the Shanghai Grand Theater, she must have suffered a lot when she was young, so she could be so sophisticated at Rusi's age, so she smiled and said: "Xiu'er, bring the coal stove closer here." "Before winter, the hospital was frugal and did not turn on the heating, and the coal stove was boiling water, so it was always a little warmer.

Mei Ruolan didn't expect her to be so thoughtful, she nodded with a smile in understanding, which was regarded as a thank you, and said: "Fourth Miss's foot injury seems to be much better, I don't know if I can deny the time to be discharged from the hospital?" ”

Wan Chun's eyelids blinked, knowing that she must have a purpose for this trip, and said when she asked: "The matters of hospitalization and discharge have always been the responsibility of my sister, and I follow the doctor's instructions, I don't know very well, I can't think about it for three or two days." ”

"Three or two days is not a long time, you must heal."

Mei Ruolan calmly handed the water glass to her lips, pursed her lips and took a sip. Because the hospitality of the Northland family has always been to brew tea, but Shanghai is good at using malt milk essence, Xiu'er follows the local customs, and of course uses malt milk essence in the tea for Mei Ruolan. It's just that her strength is not accurate, and she puts a little more malt milk essence, which makes people drink it in one gulp, and the tip of her tongue is sweet and greasy, and the sweetness is almost bitter.

Du Jiu asked her to come this time for only one purpose, which was to ask Qing Wanchun about her discharge from the hospital. Judging by his meaning, he wants to see each other again after Wanchun is discharged from the hospital. After all, there were many people in the hospital, and he didn't want to disturb her rest late at night. What's more, there are some things that are inconvenient to say in the hospital, and it will be much more convenient if Wanchun is discharged.

After the second master returned to Shanghai. With his help, the burden on Du Jiu's body is also a lot lighter. After two or three days, I still had time to prepare thoroughly.

Wan Chun smiled, she didn't have any complaints about Mei Ruolan doing things for Du Jiu, but she just sighed that she didn't choose a tree to live in. When she came this time, it was rare to ask her something, so Wanchun pulled Mei Ruolan's sleeve and said, "I have two selfish words to say to you." ”

Mei Ruolan frowned, she didn't know what selfish words she had with herself, so she hurriedly put the cup in her hand on the coffee table. Leaned down slightly and said, "Fourth Miss has something to say." ”

Wan Chun said in a low voice: "Maybe it's a bit presumptuous to say this, I know that Boss Mei is also a well-known figure in Shanghai, and has a lot of dealings with local celebrities in Shanghai, I just want to ask, how is the husband of the lady who is similar to me?" ”

"The husband of a lady who resembles Miss Four?"

Mei Ruolan whispered softly, and after a while, she came back to her senses, only to realize that she was talking about Xie Yaxian, who had died. However, she asked about her husband in a good manner. Why is that? Even though she frowned and was puzzled, Mei Ruolan still replied in the same low voice: "Could it be that Miss Fourth is talking about Vice Minister Lu of the Ministry of Finance?" He was a beautiful man, because he didn't come to the theater very often, and I didn't know him very well. I just heard from his colleagues that he acted quite well, maybe he had a backer behind him. The Minister of Finance gave him a bit of a thin face, and it was said that he was treated in the same way as the Minister in the Ministry of Finance. Miss Four...... Why do you suddenly ask about this? ”

Really...... Even Mei Ruolan saw that Lu Jianhao had a backer behind him. That person is used to doing superficial work, but he has left a good impression. -- Isn't he just acting well? Otherwise, they wouldn't have killed their mother and daughter.

Wan Chun stirred his fingers and smiled silently: "Because his mother is sick, he lives next door, so he remembered to ask, and there is no other meaning." ”

"Oh, Mrs. Lu is next door? That's ...... That's a coincidence. ”

Mei Ruolan stared at Wanchun's face, as if she had seen some clues. As an outsider, she has seen that Wanchun is similar to Xie Yaxian, if the Lu family is asked to see Wanchun in the hospital, it won't be scared? Wan Chun asked, presumably they had met in two times.

What, did Vice Minister Lu do something?

She looked at her suspiciously, Wan Chun avoided her visiting gaze slightly, and said: "It's no coincidence, I just heard that the young lady of the Lu family next door said that Vice Chief Lu didn't take out the money after his mother was hospitalized, so I was very puzzled, so I asked you how Vice Chief Lu is." ”

Mei Ruolan said with a smile: "Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, who cares about the frost on the tiles of others?" The fourth lady is kind-hearted, although this hospitalization fee is not a big expense, it also costs a lot, and there is no reason why Vice Chief Lu should not take out the money, there should always be a reason. It doesn't matter much about being a person, but I am afraid that his reputation will have an impact. ”

"That's what I mean, too." Wanchun nodded, somewhat perfunctory. Lu Jianhao's personality is best known to her, and this topic is just to confirm the fact that he is behind him, and there is also a reason to explore Lu Jianhao's current status in Shanghai - to be on an equal footing with the Minister of Finance, his power is really higher day by day.

There was a moment of silence in the room, Mei Ruolan looked up at the wall clock on the wall, it had been more than an hour since she came out, and that person was still waiting for her reply in the Grand Theater, so she really couldn't delay for too long. Fortunately, Wanchun's injury was fine, and she could be regarded as having an explanation when she went back, so she said: "It's getting late, and the fourth lady still has to rest, so I won't bother." Come and talk to Miss Fourth in two days, okay? ”

"That's great, you're welcome." Wan Chun reluctantly smiled, it is still unknown whether they will meet in two days, she is going to leave this time, and she should always say a few kind words.

Mei Ruolan got up and took the woolen tweed checkered coat on the back of the chair, and bowed goodbye to Wanchun with a smile. Xiu'er opened the door for her and sent her to the door.

Cuizhi was angry with the women in the theater because of Li Yujun's incident, and Mei Ruolan and Li Yujun were very good friends, so Mei Ruolan came, and her attitude has been lukewarm. ”

"It's just a few words," Wan Chun saw Cuizhi putting on a serious appearance to educate herself, and she really had a bit of Zhongqing's momentum, and couldn't help laughing, "How many days can I stay in Shanghai?" What to do with her? ”

Cuizhi smiled: "That's exactly what you said." Hey, speaking of which, our uncle's eyesight is really poor, and now there are such people who don't praise it, but they have to praise the lowly vixen, and they are unlucky. ”

Wan Chun knew that the fox spirit she said in her mouth was probably Li Yujun, who had died, and in her conscience, this matter was definitely not her fault or one person's fault, but everyone behind her said that she was responsible, which showed that people's words were terrifying. She couldn't help sighing slightly, and persuaded Cuizhi: "Don't say such things, carefully let the second sister hear right and wrong." Speaking of which, the second brother-in-law is also not, and Boss Mei is not such a frivolous woman, let's talk behind our backs like this, people should say that we are slandered. ”

"Hey, what kind of slander is this? Fourth Miss, you must be too careful. Cui Zhi pouted and smiled, and seeing that Wanchun didn't want to talk deeply, she stopped the topic. Because it was almost time for dinner, Xiu'er went to eat, so Cuizhi helped Wanchun up from the bed and said, "I'll help you get up and walk two steps first, move your muscles and bones, and then eat dinner, wash and sleep." ”

Wanchun has this intention, she has appeared in front of the old lady this day, always restless, saying that it is not annoyed is false, saying that there is no place to vent annoyance, if you go to bed early, it is better to make plans in the future. Thinking of this, she obeyed Cuizhi's arrangement, got up from the bed, and put only one arm on Cuizhi's wrist, walking slightly around the circle of the bed.

Xiu'er has been gone for a long time, but she hasn't come back because of some delay. In fact, Wanchun and Cuizhi had only walked twice, but she always felt tired and sweaty in her heart, just like she felt when she heard the voice of people outside.

The man outside was evident not to see what was going on in the house, and he only gossiped a few words with the private at the door of her room, and then walked with steady steps to the next door.

Swallowing saliva slowly, the bitter taste went straight down the root of the tongue into the heart and lungs, Wanchun's hand covering his chest pressed tighter, so tight that his heart seemed to be held in his hand, knock, like a big drum in winter, the skin was frozen hard, and it took half a day to see the echo. ――Lu Jianhao, you finally appeared.

Mrs. Lu was obviously like Wanchun, she never expected that her eldest son would be able to take the time to come to the hospital to see her at such a late hour. If Jianhua didn't make trouble with her today, her room would not be so cold and desolate, Jianpeng still had his studies to complete, and she also drove him back to school early. At this time, when he saw Lu Jianhao coming, he was surprised and didn't know what to say, so he just smiled and said to him: "Jianpeng always said that your eldest brother is very busy, and since you are busy, why do you have to go all the way to this experience?" It's going to be another day. ”

In a few words, the mother and son are polite and live like outsiders. She should have been angry with Lu Jianhao, but when people are old, they have a childlike heart, and a little happiness can write off the previous troubles, not to mention that her troubles have nothing to do with others, after all, this is her child, the most promising child.

"I'm afraid that I won't have time to work another day, it's rare for the yamen to get off work earlier today, my mother has been hospitalized for so many days, and I haven't been able to come to visit, wouldn't it be my filial piety if I don't come today?"

Lu Jianhao smiled slightly, he didn't know the complaint in his mother's heart, but fortunately, the mother and son were both good at concealment, and they looked very harmonious on the surface.

With this sentence, whether it is true or not, Mrs. Lu finally has a comfort in her heart, so she patted the edge of the bed with her hand and motioned to her son: "Sit down, you have to rest before you go to the yamen to have energy." Drink water or not, there is a bottle of Jianpeng's new burning, you want to drink the cup here, I can't move, you go and pour a glass yourself. ”

Lu Jianhao agreed, but he didn't pour tea, but just sat down quite obediently according to his mother's arrangement. He is not a lie, today is indeed a yamen, but two days ago it is not very true to say that he is not free, but he is not free enough to sit in the hospital and gossip with his mother. If it weren't for Jianskirt's phone call, he would have been two days later to come to the hospital. (To be continued.) )
