Chapter 48: Temptation
It was dark inside.
The doors and windows were closed, and even if the moonlight outside was like snow, it could not shine in.
Assi was so mad by the feeling in the dream that his scalp was numb, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. In the darkness, it was faintly discernible that her tent was lowered, and there was not even a gap. She breathed a sigh of relief.
There was another sound of rustling in the house.
Assi's eyes widened in the darkness, staring at the curtain, as if the next second some ghost would lift the curtain to her detriment. She raised her hand to her left chest, and it was thumping and thumping. The sound of rustling did not stop, she held her breath and stared sideways to discern what the sound was, she couldn't hear it, it seemed to be a whisper, and it seemed like there was a crawling thing on the roof, she turned her head slightly, and showed both ears, wanting to listen more carefully.
The sound stops instantaneously.
The surroundings were quiet, as if there was no fresh breath. Assi gritted his teeth and resisted the desire to shout for rain and dew, and covered his head with a quilt to resist the uneasiness and fear in his heart, and after a while, he fell asleep groggily.
At the end of the day, the sky was slightly blue.
Yulu gently pushed open the door and came in, and shouted to Assi to get up through the curtain.
Assi opened her eyes, halfway through her breath, she suddenly remembered those strange feelings and strange sounds in the middle of the night, and suddenly sat up and lifted the curtain: "Have you entered the inner room to call the third young master?" ”
Yulu shook her head: "The slave didn't go in, I came to call the third young grandmother to wake you up first." ”
Assi wrapped a piece of clothing around his body, pulled on his shoes and went to the inner room.
Mu Yin's sleep is sweet. Still pulling and exhaling slightly.
Assi breathed a sigh of relief, and she gently lowered the curtain and went out.
Mu Jinzhi, who was originally pulling and breathing, opened his eyes.
She really woke up last night.
No, the medicine given by Mr. Ma can't be ineffective, he watched her drink it last night, how could he wake up halfway? Did she drink less, or did she measure less last night?
I don't have martial arts, but fortunately, Mr. Mu's ears are sensitive, and I heard her movements and breathing change all of a sudden, and guessed that she was awake, otherwise, their conversation in the dead of night was the most confidential, and it would be bad if she heard it.
Last night, after drinking the drugged tea, Assi fell asleep, he opened the door and let Mr. Mu in. Because the windows were all open on this side of the courtyard, he had to pass through the outer room where Assi was asleep when he went to open the door for Mr. Mu. Mr. Mu later jumped out of the window.
Mu Jinzhi exhaled lightly.
It's impossible to say that you're not frustrated after a plan fails, and if you don't leave successfully, you have to continue to play crazy and stupid, and you don't know where your next opportunity is. But for now, the chances are slim.
Mr. Mu said that he suspected that the people who were in the clean room that day were sent by Wang Yuan, and that he had to abandon the plan to leave in order to avoid trouble.
Mr. Mu said that he was going to leave for Wangjing in the next few days, and he had already submitted his resignation to Xu Changrong in the evening. Xu Changrong gave him a sum of silver.
He knew that on the day his father did not officially succeed, he would have no way to recognize him, and he would remain incognito, just to keep a little bit of his father's bloodline.
Other than that, you can't do anything on your own.
There was nothing that could help the father.
It made him feel useless.
In addition, in the Xu family, he must always be vigilant, he can't be exposed, he can't be discovered, and he is physically and mentally exhausted.
It's better to get out of here, design to leave here, and then use what you have learned to secretly help your father, and complete the goal as soon as possible.
When Assi came to call Mu Jinzhi to get up, he had already made up his mind that there was no chance to create opportunities, this Xu family did not have anyone he could use, but Assi should be able to use it.
Until then, he had to be sure that Assi was of no use to anyone behind her, that she was her own and could be used by him.
"Konishi, did you sleep well last night?" Mu Jinzhi blinked his sparkling eyes and asked Song Xi, who was dressing himself.
"Third Young Master, did you sleep well?" Assi asked him rhetorically as he belted him.
"I didn't sleep well, it was a little noisy at night."
Assi looked up at him: "You also think it's a little noisy?" What do you hear? ”
Mu Zhizhi scratched his head: "It seems that there are rats." ”
Asimeran. I haven't lived in it for a few months, and I heard that the yard hasn't been sprinkled and swept all the time, so it's not strange that there are mice. It seems that he has changed his new environment and is more hearty.
She smiled: "I don't sleep well either, and I hear the sound of rats crawling." Shall we let Yulu take someone to clean it up today? ”
Mu Jinzhi nodded.
"Third young grandmother, do you want to set up a meal?" Xingchun asked at the door.
"What time is it?" Assi washed Mu Jinzhi with a hot veil and handed it over.
"Back to the young grandmother's words, it's two o'clock." Yulu looked at Ke Leak from the side and said.
"Then let's set the meal, and the time to finish eating will be about the same." After Axi finished instructing, he looked back at Mu Jinzhi: "Let's go to the upper room in a while, don't talk much when the time comes, just follow behind me, I'll pull your sleeve, and you will salute with me, remember?" ”
Mu Jinzhi nodded, sat down at the table and took a sip of warm water, and asked, "Why is Xiaoxi so good to me?" ”
He kept his eyes fixed on her.
Assi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect him to ask. Seeing that he seemed to be very serious, he also replied seriously: "Because I am your wife." ”
She has completely recognized the fact that she married him in her heart.
"Then, if I deceive Konishi about something, will Konishi be angry with me?" He asked again.
"It depends on what's going on, if it's intentional, I'll be angry, if it's not intentional, then I'm not angry." Although Assi wondered why he asked that, he answered seriously.
Mu Zhizhi squinted his eyes and snorted, lowered his head and drank the water one by one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
No matter how much conflict there is, on the first night he came back, Master Xu still spent the night in Tian's house.
Face still has to be given, after all, it is his wife.
At two o'clock, Tian waited for Master Xu to get up.
"Master, Zijie is going to have tea with his new daughter-in-law in a while, I just made you a new gown a while ago, so you can wear new clothes." Tian took out a snow-blue Wanfu gown from the cage and opened it for Xu Changrong to see.
Xu Changrong nodded undeniably, and opened his arms for Tian to dress him.
"Master, is Zisuke much better now?" Tian quietly looked at Xu Changrong's face while asking, seeing that he did not show an impatient look, he had a bottom in his heart, and then asked tentatively.
"It's better, after marrying a relative, I don't know if it's a rush, his temper is obviously not so irritable, and he also listens to the words of the new daughter-in-law," paused, he looked down at Tian, and his small eyes showed a fine light: "Don't think about some of the things you don't have, don't treat him badly because he is like this, I have my own arrangements for their three rooms, and I won't lose any of Jun'er and Ping'er's family property." I'll give you an account today, lest you do something like Mrs. Li again. ”
Tian's face was hot.
I thought I was doing it quietly, but I didn't expect the master to know.
"Then," since he said it, Tian made up his mind to ask clearly: "Whose son is he?" ”
