Chapter 68: Forced Marriage
"Your Excellency, the prisoner has been recruited." Chen Ping came to Mo Chen and told him everything the stout man confessed.
"Ask him to draw a picture, be detailed." After Mo Chen finished speaking, he closed the book, looked at Chen Ping and said, "Where have you been recently?" ”
Chen Ping was a little flustered, and he didn't dare to look directly at Mo Chen, but he still had to say: "Mu Guo." ”
"No matter what you are for, remember, you are a member of my Water Venerable Palace, be careful, don't worry your brother, go down."
Hearing that Mochen didn't blame himself, Chen Ping's mood calmed down and walked out.
"Do you hear that? Find someone to follow him, you two grew up with me, and I don't want him to get hurt. After Mo Chen finished speaking, Chen An, who was hiding on the side, walked out from behind the screen.
"Thank you Lord for your concern, I will take care of him and won't let him mess around." Chen Anxin knew the purpose of Chen Ping's arrival in Muguo, so he hurriedly arranged for someone to follow him.
Ye Xiaomu came to the room of the Water Venerable Hall with the dishes brought back in Yunhailou in his hand, and as soon as he sat down, he was hugged by Mo Chen from behind, "Why did you come back so early today?" Don't play a little more? ”
"If you don't play, your good mood will be ruined." Ye Xiaomu said unhappily.
Mochen touched her nose and said, "Then you can read a book with me at home or play something else?" ”
Mo Chen smiled at Ye Xiaomu badly, and his hand was even more restless touching Ye Xiaomu's back and forth.
Ye Xiaomu knew what he was thinking as soon as he heard it, and pushed him away with a red face and said, "I finally had a day off, so you can spare me." ”
Heart: If you really open the meat, the men are all beasts!
After that day, Ye Xiaomu tossed Ye Xiaomu every night until her whole body was weak before she fell asleep, if she didn't have the pill in her body, I was afraid that it would be difficult to get up the next day.
"Oh, that, okay." Mo Chen pretended to be aggrieved and sat aside.
Ye Xiaomu stuck out his tongue at him in amusement and took out all the dishes.
In the few months that Ye Xiaomu was in the water country, the days were quite peaceful, and spring had arrived, and there were more people traveling.
Today, Mochen went to the Water Kingdom Palace early in the morning, and heard that the Lord of the Water Kingdom was unwell and asked him to help take care of political affairs. Atractylodes was also called back to study.
Ye Xiaomu sat at a table in Yunhailou and chatted with Bai Yuerui while eating melon seeds and peanuts while drinking tea.
"Xiaomu, your face has been very good lately, is it moisturized by love? Hee-hee. Bai Yuerui wanted to make fun of her whenever she had the chance.
"You can too." Ye Xiaomu fought back.
"It's okay to say, you promised me to introduce a handsome guy to me, and lo and behold, spring has arrived, and I haven't even seen a shadow, little liar." Bai Yuerui rolled her eyes and said unpleasantly.
Ye Xiaomu pursed his lips and snickered, but did not answer her.
The two men entered the store and sat at the dinner table behind Ye Xiaomu, "Have you heard?" Our master of art is getting married. ”
"Huh? Who did you marry, why didn't you see the emperor list? ”
"This matter, or the relatives over there in the Mu Kingdom secretly stole me, say, ah, after Princess Yuehua and our lord met two days ago, the lord of the country called the prince back on the grounds that he was unwell."
"Calling the prince back, what does it have to do with getting married?"
"Why doesn't it matter, didn't Princess Yuehua mention the divorce before? A few months ago, she asked the Lord of the Mu Kingdom to propose marriage, but at that time, the Lord of Shu did not agree. The lord of our country is a lot older, but there has been nothing to do, and there is only one of the relatives, and eighty percent of the future is to succeed him, and now the lord of the water country will use the people as the reason to force the prince to marry the princess, how to say that the princess of Yuehua is now the lord of the wood, and it can bring a lot of benefits to our country in the future. ”
The two of them whispered beside them, and Ye Xiaomu behind her was a little sympathetic to Baizhu, and she drank the tea in a sullen gulp.
The shopkeeper saw Baizhu coming in with a group of people, and hurriedly walked outside to salute him.
When the rest of the shop saw that he was about to salute, he said, "Let's all sit down and eat." He didn't look around.
"Xiao Er, open a side room for me and bring all the signature dishes in the store to it."
After Bai Shu finished speaking, he stepped back and said to a dozen guards: "My people are here, you can just guard here, don't follow me." After saying that, he walked upstairs impatiently.
Ye Xiaomu was also a little sad when he saw this bitter face of Baizhu.
"Wow, this guy is so handsome, alas. It's a pity that there is no mobile phone here, otherwise I would have to ask him for a phone number. Bai Yuerui looked at Bai Zhu who went upstairs and smiled.
"Fortunately, there are no mobile phones here, otherwise it would be miserable to be disturbed by you every day. Come do me a favor. After speaking, Ye Xiaomu took Bai Yuerui to the backyard.
"You still say I'm a nymphomaniac, what about you eating from the bowl and looking outside? If someone likes to see it, hehe. Bai Yuerui looked at Ye Xiaomu, who was dressed as a shopkeeper, and smiled.
"Okay, you'll have your benefit anyway."
"This is your good, I'm not greedy, just give me a dozen bottles of that elixir or something." Bai Yuerui said happily.
"You're not greedy? This medicine was put in the auction house, and each one was more than a thousand taels. Fans of small fortune. Ye Xiaomu ruthlessly exposed Bai Yuerui's purpose.
"Tsk, don't be in vain."
"Alright, let's go."
The two went out of the yard, and Ye Xiaomu took the initiative to go to the kitchen to serve the food upstairs.
Baizhu, who was drinking, heard a knock on the door and shouted, "Come in." ”
Ye Xiaomu put the dish in his hand on the table, but Baizhu kept his head down, pouring wine and drinking by himself, without even looking at the other party, Ye Xiaomu walked to the door and closed the door. He put down the plate in his hand.
Baizhu saw that the other party was coming back, so he raised his head and saw Ye Xiaomu dressed as Xiao Er, and thought he was drunk, he took Ye Xiaomu's hand, and only after confirming it again and again did he say to Ye Xiaomu sadly: "Xiaomu, is it really you?" ”
Ye Xiaomu sat next to him and nodded, "Long time no see, how are you doing?" ”
"I'm sorry, I really didn't expect Yuehua, Yuehua would do such a thing, I'm sorry, I should have made it clear to her earlier, you wouldn't have let her misunderstand." Baizhu said reproachfully.
"Baizhu, it's not your fault, if you want to blame her, she doesn't distinguish between black and white."
"Thank you, are you there now? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Bai Zhu was worried that Ye Xiaomu would think that he would tell Ye Yuehua, so he said it first.
"I know you won't, or I wouldn't see you."
"Thank you for believing in me."
"I believe that Mochen will see people better than me."
Baizhu finally smiled rarely, "That's right, this guy has a good reputation for this." ”
"How about we have a meal together?"
"Okay, I'm a little hungry anyway." Ye Xiaomu unceremoniously picked up the chopsticks and took a green vegetable to eat.
Baizhu walked outside the door and asked someone to come over with a pair of chopsticks, and when he saw Baizhu sitting down, Ye Xiaomu put down his chopsticks and looked at him and asked, "I heard, you are going to get married?" ”
Bai Shu just replied that he was sad again, he sat down and took another sip of stuffy wine, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, how ironic." knew that she had become like this, but he still wanted to marry her. ”
"Do you still love her now?" Ye Xiaomu knew that it was cruel to ask like this, but it was better to ask clearly.
"I don't know, now when I think of what she did, I feel uncomfortable, so can I still be as happy as I was when I was to her?" Baizhu seemed to ask Ye Xiaomu, and it seemed to be asking himself.
"And when does the wedding start?"
"I don't know, just listen to my brother's arrangement, I don't care." Baizhu took another sip of wine with every word he spoke.
Ye Xiaomu watched the carefree man turn into an angry appearance now, and he didn't know what to say except for sighing.
Bai Yuerui saw that Ye Xiaomu hadn't come down for so long, and she didn't know what was wrong, so she grabbed the plate on the small second-hand that was going upstairs, "I'll get it here, you go and do something else." With that, he walked up quickly.
She cleared her throat and knocked on the door, "Master Shu, if you come with a dish." ”
"Come in." Baizhu replied in the direction of the door.
Bai Yuerui pushed the door with a plate and entered, and saw Ye Xiaomu now holding the food on the table and putting it in his mouth, Ye Xiaomu winked at Bai Yuerui with a pair of big eyes.
"Xiaomu, why are you eating here? Let's go down, don't disturb the prince's meal. Bai Yuerui walked over and just wanted to pull Ye Xiaomu away.
Ye Xiaomu smiled and said to Bai Yuerui: "Xiaobai, this is my friend, Baizhu. ”
"Yours? Friend? Why haven't I heard you say that your friend is the prince here? Bai Yuerui said with a little disbelieving.
"Didn't I say that? I'm sorry, but I just missed it. Ye Xiaomu grabbed his hair and smiled.
Baizhu looked at the little girl who came in curiously, she looked very cute, with a goose egg face, big eyes, and pink skin, which made people want to touch her face with their hands.
Bai Yuerui squinted at her and flattened her mouth. Ye Xiaomu pulled Bai Yuerui and walked to Baizhu and introduced: "This is my good friend, I grew up together. ”
"Hello, my name is Baizhu. Nice to meet you. After saying that, Bai Shu nodded politely to Bai Yuerui.
Bai Yuerui blushed slightly and replied: "Hello Shu Wang, my name is Bai Yuerui, and everyone calls me Xiaobai." ”
"Okay, let's sit down and eat together." Ye Xiaomu pulled Bai Yuerui under the table.
After the three of them sat down, they ate unceremoniously, Bai Yuerui was a self-cooked, and quickly integrated into the conversation, and also told Ye Xiaomu about the ugly things she had done, of course, except for some modern things, she would not say.
Bai Zhu also has a better impression of Bai Yuerui, thinking that she is an interesting girl, chatting with her, he is also very relaxed, and his bad mood has subsided a lot. After finishing the meal, Bai Zhu and Ye Xiaomu said goodbye and left the restaurant with a smile.
"What are you still looking at?" Ye Xiaomu looked at Bai Yuerui, who was still standing at the door, and asked.
Bai Yuerui frowned and said, "Don't you think his back is very sad?" ”
Ye Xiaomu was very surprised how Bai Yuerui found out, obviously everyone was very happy when they were eating.
"Everyone's experience is different, who knows. Okay, let me see how your spiritual cultivation goes? Ye Xiaomu pulled Bai Yuerui back to the backyard.
Bai Yuerui's cultivation has also improved a lot in the past few days, although the gap with Ye Xiaomu is still very large, but it has also reached the cultivation of the seventh layer of the Xuan level, seeing that Bai Yuerui has a better self-protection ability, Ye Xiaomu is also very happy, at least when she is away, she can still take care of herself.
But she didn't expect that on the day of Baizhu's wedding, Bai Yuerui was still arrested.
