A few days later, Zheng Wangfu really found a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, and sent dowry gifts one after another.

Sixty-four carrying boxes, all wrapped in red silk, were placed in front of the gate of the Mu family.

It's just strange that among the people who came to propose, there was no Zheng Li.

Even so, Mu Zongsheng didn't dig deeper, anyway, Mu Zhishu would marry Zheng Li, and he didn't pay much attention to whether he came to propose marriage or not.

Mu Zhishu was also lifted from the ground.

This is the answer to that sentence, a blessing in disguise. All the people of the Mu family talked about it, because of the abnormal fire, Li Shizi and Miss Mu Er of King Zheng's Mansion were together.

When Mu Zhiling heard the news, she stood in the middle of the courtyard and coughed violently.

Although the evil disease has long been cured, she doesn't have to worry about the season of Yang Hua now, not to mention that there is not even a little fragrance of flowers in the yard, but now this really scares Yuemei and Cuiliu.

With trembling hands, he took out a brocade silk from his bosom and covered his mouth and nose, and his chest throbbed with coughing, as if it was not his own.

"Cuiliu, you went to see it, did the dowry from King Zheng's Mansion really come over?" Mu Zhiling closed her eyes slightly, her lips were white, she was weak when she spoke, and her whole body was even weaker.

Cuiliu frowned, glanced at Yuemei, and saw that Yuemei did not stop it, so she said: "Miss, I have already passed the Hanging Flower Gate, and I am afraid that I have already passed the inner courtyard and arrived at the Peony Garden." ”

"Who are those people?" Mu Zhiling sat down irritably.

"The slave didn't see it clearly, miss, what's wrong with you. Is it uncomfortable, the slave maid will go and ask the imperial doctor to come. Cuiliu saw that Mu Zhiling's face was not very good, and said a little anxiously.

Mu Zhiling closed her eyes tightly. didn't stop it, and let Cuiliu leave.

Yue Xuan kept his head down slightly, but in the end he couldn't help but say, "Miss, you care about Li Shizi, right?" ”

Mu Zhiling's cheeks were slightly red, and she said, "What nonsense are you talking about, everyone is going to marry another woman, and I still protect myself." Are you really embarrassing yourself? ”

Yuemei shook her head lightly and said, "Miss, the slave is from here." What the young lady thinks in her heart, the slave and maid also know a little bit about it. For Li Shizi, I'm afraid that you don't care about the slightest bit. Since you care, you should make it clear to him. Even if he wants to marry someone else. But if he has you in his heart, he will definitely give you a satisfactory reply, if he doesn't fight for it, where will he be happy? ”

Mu Zhiling smiled bitterly, her eyes flickered, her expression was erratic, and she said, "Yuemei, you really think wrong." I'm right to Li Shizi. I really don't have that kind of mind. Maybe I really care more about and care about others than I do for other reasons. It's not that I want to marry him. In this life, I will not marry anyone. ”

She has always kept Zheng Li's care for her in mind, so she naturally cares more about him, but those cares have nothing to do with the personal affairs of her children.

After all, she has died in the previous life, Mu Zhiling in this life no longer lives for herself, and she no longer believes in the so-called love, once those things are touched, if you are lucky, you will have no worries for a lifetime, but if you don't have that good life, you will never recover.

And she was destined to be the one who had no luck.

When Yuemei heard Mu Zhiling's words, she was a little anxious, and said: "Miss, don't talk nonsense, if you think so, what about the lady and the master, they probably dream of letting you marry, if the young lady doesn't marry, then how sad they are." If Miss has such an idea now, it must be that she has not met your lover, and if you meet one day, you will not think like this. ”

Yuemei squinted slightly, and an endless sadness emerged between her eyebrows.

Mu Zhiling didn't say anything, just looked ahead blankly.

On the side of the Peony Garden, Mu Zhishu had already been released, and ran out in high spirits, thinking that Zheng Li would come, but he didn't see him.

Turning around a little lonely, Mu Zhishu looked at the Gao family and asked, "Mother, why don't you see Li Shizi, is he already gone?" ”

Gao complained a little and said, "No, he didn't come!" You said that you are proposing, there is no sincerity at all, how can I rest assured that I will hand over my daughter to her! ”

Mu Zongsheng turned around and glared at Gao, and Gao didn't dare to speak.

Then he returned to the room with the name Mu Zhishu.

After Mu Zhishu returned to the room, Mu Zhishuang was waiting for her in the room.

Seeing Mu Zhishu go back, Mu Zhishuang took her hand and asked a little excitedly, "Second sister, how is it, have you seen Li Shizi?" Aren't you excited? Hey, I'm really a little reluctant to give up the second sister, and the second sister will be married in a few months, so are you going to get married, Shuang'er is really reluctant to you. ”

Mu Zhishu just lowered her eyes slightly, looking out the window thoughtfully, not knowing what she was thinking.

Mu Zhishuang talked alone for a while, and when she saw that Mu Zhishu didn't pay attention, she stopped talking.

Mu Zhixuan walked from outside the door with a chuckle, looked at Mu Zhishu who was muttering and blushing, and asked softly, "Second sister, can I come in?" ”

Before Mu Zhishu could raise her head, Mu Zhishuang kicked her nose and pointed at Mu Zhixuan, and said, "No, the second sister doesn't have the time to take care of you now!" ”

Mu Zhixuan glanced at Mu Zhishuang and said, "Yo, I don't know when the second sister raised such a docile dog, but this dog is too lenient." ”

Mu Zhishuang was not happy, stood up suddenly, pointed at Mu Zhixuan angrily, and said, "Who do you think you are, you broom star of your father and mother, stay away from me!" ”

Mu Zhixuan ignored Mu Zhishuang senselessly, and walked straight towards Mu Zhishu.

walked up to Mu Zhishu and said, "The second sister is happy now, and she is married to Li Shizi as she wishes." But as far as I know, Li Shizi doesn't like you at all, second sister, even if you get married, you're just a widow, that's all. ”

Mu Zhixuan glanced at Mu Zhishu, who was squinting slightly, and her mood became more and more happy.

This person is insatiable, just like Mu Zhishu, who once even married Zheng Li was an extravagant hope, but now that he can finally achieve it, there is no room for sand in his eyes.

"Are you taunting me?"

Mu Zhishu raised her head to look at Mu Zhixuan, and her voice revealed a bit of danger. Mu Zhixuan shook her head violently and said, "Of course not, second sister, I'm just thinking about you." I heard that Li Shizi didn't come today. I thought about coming over to comfort the second sister, but Xuan'er had no other intentions. ”

"Do you know it in your own heart!"

Mu Zhishuang glared at Mu Zhixuan angrily.

Mu Zhixuan was extremely aggrieved, her brows were tightly twisted together, and she said, "Sixth sister, you really misunderstood your sister, and your sister used to treat you like that." It was also a last resort, I had no support, and I had no status in this family. If you are not dependent on others, then how can you survive? ”

She suddenly lowered her head, leaned into Mu Zhishu's ear and whispered a few words, Mu Zhishu looked up at her in disbelief. But Mu Zhixuan suddenly laughed. smiled lightly, and said: "What Xuan'er thinks, everything is for the happiness of the second sister, if the second sister doesn't want to believe it, she will directly ignore what Xuan'er said." ”

After Mu Zhixuan left, Mu Zhishu's body almost froze.

She didn't expect Mu Zhixuan to be so ruthless.

But now she seems to have no choice......

Mu Zhishuang pushed in Mu Zhishu's ear, blinked her curious eyes, and said, "Second sister." So what did Mu Zhixuan tell you? Don't you believe her...... Second sister...... Why don't you speak? ”

Mu Zhishu turned her head slowly and stiffly, and spit out the words sneeringly. Said: "You go out first, I want to be alone for a while." ”

Mu Zhishuang had no choice but to leave.

After a while, Mu Yu pushed the door in, saw Mu Zhishu's sad and bleak appearance, looked at Mu Zhishu with an evil face, and smiled a little weirdly: "Sister, why haven't you talked to your brother about such an important matter?" ”

A few days ago, he wanted to ask Zheng Li about the situation, but his father didn't allow it, and then Zheng Wangfu also promised to do a family matter, so he didn't pursue this matter anymore.

But when he learned that Zheng Li didn't come, who was his Mu Yao's sister, could he be perfunctory casually?

The more I think about it, the more atmosphere it gets, and the deeper the smile on my face.

Mu Zhishu saw Mu Yao's expression, and secretly sweated in his heart, whenever his brother had such an expression, he must be very angry. She looked at Mu Yao with some concern and said, "Brother, this matter is not what you imagined...... It's always me who doesn't allow you to hurt him. ”

Mu Yao couldn't laugh anymore and said, "Hurt him? I wanted to kill him, but now that he's your future husband, should I have to keep my sister widowed? ”

Moreover, he was not sure that he could hurt Zheng Li.

"Just because I don't hurt him doesn't mean I don't hurt his most important thing." Mu Yao smiled slightly, it was obviously a brilliant smile, but it made him laugh with a chill.

Mu Zhixuan returned to Xiangyun Pavilion, and her heart became more and more comfortable.

Now all she had to do was sit quietly in the courtyard, watching what she hated and what she hated tormented each other, and in the end she didn't have to die.

Originally, I wanted to kill Mrs. Mu, but now I was extremely glad that Imperial Doctor Zhang could take her back, didn't that old thing always think that he could control it?

Now she wants her to watch her most true son, and her grandchildren hurt each other, and she is tormented.

Death, it's really too cheap for her.

"Hahahaha......" Mu Zhixuan glanced at the sunset, which had been red for half a day, and the laughter made Qiu Ju's body tremble slightly.

Suddenly, a flying pigeon flew and landed in Mu Zhixuan's hand, she pulled out the letter paper, but learned the news that Ann was seriously ill.

With a smile on her face, she hurried back to her room, looking nervous.

In the Begonia Garden, Mu Zhiling looked at the sunset that was as red as a blood lotus, and felt sad in her heart.

She obviously didn't have that kind of mind for Zheng Li, and she only treated him like her own brother, but why was she still bored for a while.

The breath that was stuck in his chest couldn't be relieved.

As the night fell, the sky gradually pulled down the curtain, blocking the brilliant glow and the golden light of the sun's last meaning.

"Miss, come in, you've been here for three hours, it's already dark, if you continue to stay, I'm afraid your body won't be able to stand it."

Mu Zhiling looked up at the stars in the sky as if she had turned a deaf ear, and the crystal glimmer rose and fell in the sky, flickering bright and dark.

Yuemei saw that Mu Zhiling was unmoved, and she couldn't do it, so she went to the room and took a winter shawl and put it on her body, and stood with her in the moonlight.

A rush of footsteps drew closer.

Yuemei looked at the person, she didn't know it.

The closer the man got closer, and Yuemei looked more carefully.

This overlaps with the appearance in the memory.

When she was young, she saw Li Shizi, but she was only eleven or twelve years old, and now she is seventeen or eighteen years old, her appearance has really changed a lot, and her temperament has become completely different from the past.

But she could still recognize that even if everything had changed, there were some that couldn't change anyway.

Yuemei sighed slightly, but Mu Zhiling suddenly stood up and looked at Zheng Li for a moment.

The three of them watched silently, and time flowed unhurriedly, but they were still in the Begonia Garden, solidifying the scenery of the courtyard and the people standing in the courtyard.

After a long time, Mu Zhiling's thin lips opened slightly, and said: "Li Shizi is only afraid that he has gone to the wrong place, this is Begonia Garden, not Peony Garden." ”

Zheng Li was stunned and stopped.

He didn't expect Mu Zhiling to say this, but then he was relieved, and his heart was a lot happier.

Xiao Wu said this, not because he was dissatisfied that he wanted to marry Na Mu Zhishu.

Thinking of this, his lips rose slightly.

He stood firmly in the distance, his eyes deep and hot, and his breathing a little faster.

The deep and hoarse voice characteristic of the boy sounded: "I know the way, I know the place that haunts me." ”

The night breeze was blowing, and the fog was gradually getting heavier and drifting around in the air, and the moment it touched the cheeks, the wetness seeped into the skin, and it was impossible to tell whether it was cool or cold.

Mu Zhiling didn't speak, turned around and walked towards the back room.

Yuemei glanced at Zheng Li and hesitated for a while.

"Yuemei, if you are willing to stay in the courtyard, I can't care about it, but if you make a mistake because of this, you will still deduct your monthly money." Mu Zhiling said without replying.

Yuemei looked at the awkward two, and finally walked away with Mu Zhiling.

The two walked to the door, Mu Zhiling raised her hand and was about to push the door, but one hand was pinched heavily.

The scorching breath sprayed on his neck, Zheng Li leaned very close, breathing very hard, and his heart was beating fast, but he didn't dare to touch her except for his hand.

As soon as Mu Zhiling pulled, he pushed harder and harder, and his body became closer and closer.

In the end, there was no way, Mu Zhiling had to turn around and look up at Zheng Li, who was sweating profusely.

It was obviously such a cold day, but he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Little Wu, you are because of ...... Is this thing angry? Zheng Li asked tentatively, and his free hand froze in the air and didn't know how to place it.

Mu Zhiling looked calm, she was not annoyed or angry, she just asked lightly: "Mu Xiaowu is indeed angry...... Li Shizi should not trespass into a woman's boudoir in the middle of the night. ”

The originally bright eyes dimmed instantly, and Zheng Li's body stiffened numbly. (To be continued......)
