Chapter 16: Visiting
Mu Xiwan stood in the middle of the pavilion. The calm water surface was rippled by the wind, the white gauze curtain was raised by the wind, and the Yiren in the pavilion were slim and elegant, and the yellow clothes were unparalleled.
Mu Xiwan stared at the crystal clear lake, and the water in her eyes was like a pool of cold pool water, which was mature and calm that did not match the year.
The white jade green fingers gently stroked the lower abdomen, and the gloom flashed in his eyes, and this moment of tranquility was full of sadness.
Suddenly, Mu Xiwan turned around, glanced at Mei'er who was guarding beside her, and hooked her lips lightly, "Let's go, it's not too early." ”
Mei'er nodded in response, followed Mu Xiwan's footsteps, watched Mu Xiwan leave in the opposite direction, and wondered, "Miss, where are we going?" ”
"Wanwan helped you, so naturally I want to thank you." Out of the corner of Mu Xiwan's eyes, he caught a glimpse of a large group of people on the side, "Go and visit Sister Wanwan."
When King Ping heard this, his face showed a little love, and he laughed a few times, "Isn't it true that the girl who cherishes the evening has never had a good relationship with Wanwan?" Why do you want to go to her again? ”
Mu Xiwan turned around and glanced at King Ping, then turned his gaze slightly to Qi Ke to stay, lowered his head and pursed his lips and smiled, "Lord Wang, Brother Qi." It's a pity that he was able to enter the palace of the prince because he was loved by the prince late, so he naturally should have a good relationship with his sisters, so as not to worry about the prince and Brother Qi. ”
As she spoke, Mu Xiwan raised her eyes slightly, and her shy gaze swept over Qi Ke.
Qi Ke smiled slightly, "Father, I cherish the heart of a child, so filial piety and sensibility." ”
Ping Wangle laughed a few times, "Okay, what Qi Ke said is right, the girl is really sensible, and she should be rewarded." What reward do you want, girl? ”
The corners of Mu Xiwan's lips raised slightly, and she said secretly: Do I dare to ask you to give it? On the surface, he was gentle and gentle, smiling lightly, "I don't dare to ask for a reward when I am late." ”
King Ping was overjoyed, Qi Ke's smile was plain and gentle, and he never reached the bottom of his eyes, "Sorry for the night, my father wants to give a reward, just say what you want, don't be polite." ”
Mu Xiwan pretended to hang her head shyly, blushed with a smile, and rubbed her fingers against the handkerchief, "Xiwan doesn't ask for anything, it's a blessing to have Brother Qi and the prince." ”
Qi Ke lowered his head and chuckled lightly, but his eyes were cold.
King Ping laughed a few times, "Okay, if you want to find Wanwan, go quickly, remember to be harmonious." ”
Mu Xiwan nodded with a shy face, "Yes, I will retire late." She smiled and secretly glanced at Qi Ke as she left, and turned around, but there was a cold light in her eyes.
Mu Xi came to Qi Wanwan's courtyard in the evening, and in the courtyard outside the house, the leaves fell to the ground, and only three or two maids were cleaning, and they couldn't see that they were diligent, and their eyes were full of gloom.
Seeing Mu Xiwan, the maids greeted Mu Xiwan one after another, and shouted in their mouths, "Miss Xiwan, why do you come in person, just say something about it." ”
Mu Xiwan knew that the maids were just reckless, otherwise what would be the autumn colors of the yard? But she still smiled gently, her chin was warm, and her eyebrows were warm, "The girls are busy with affairs, how dare you bother?" I just happened to have nothing to do, and I wanted to talk to Sister Wanwan about a thing or two. ”
The maids bowed their heads and went to work.
Qi Wanwan heard that Mu Xiwan was coming, and when she went out to look, she saw Mu Xiwan smiling and about to enter the hospital, followed by Mei'er.
Qi Wanwan smiled, "It's late, why are you free?" Come in and sit. Qi Wanwan glanced at the maid again and ordered to go down to boil water and sencha.
Mu Xiwan entered the house and took a look inside the house.
Almost all the walls are empty, just some simple furnishings, such as tables and chairs, and they are all cheap hollow wood that can be seen at a glance.
It's so simple that even the rouge gouache, Qingdai lipstick, and hairpin on the jewelry table are all cheap. Although she is a concubine, she is the daughter of an important minister, but she is so stumbling.
Qi Wanwan smiled faintly, tepidly, "I'm shabby here, it's not as late as you are, I hope to sit down." ”
Mu Xiwan smiled, sat on the chair, picked up the teacup on the table and looked at it carefully, "Sister Wanwan has said it, it's not as shabby as Sister Wanwan, but it's not better than this." ”
Qi Wanwan smiled slightly and did not answer.
Mu Xiwan said with a smile, "Thank you Sister Wanwan for taking action a few days ago and saving my maid's life." I don't have any right-hand man around me, so this girl is more intimate, if I don't have her, my life will be really miserable. So Sister Wanwan's kindness has always been remembered. ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Mei'er and ordered, "Sister Wanwan is your great benefactor, if it weren't for her, you would have died, thank Miss Wanwan quickly." ”
Mei'er smiled, glanced at Qi Wanwan gratefully, and said with a blessing, "Thank you Miss Wanwan for your kindness, the slave is unforgettable." ”
As she spoke, Mei'er was about to kneel, but was stopped by Qi Wanwan. At this time, the maid handed over the tea, and she put the tea cup in front of Mu Xiwan, and said with a smile, "Why worry about it?" The tea here is cold, no wonder. ”
Mu Xiwan took the teacup, which was light tea, with a few tea leaves floating, bland and tasteless, and it was tasteless when you looked at it.
Mu Xiwan did not hesitate, blew it and took a sip, and said with a light smile, "Sister Wanwan always says that it is cold here, but I look at it and it is fine, and it is half a catty and eight taels with me." ”
Mei'er immediately responded and said, "That's right, Miss Wanwan, you don't know, the maids in the mansion are too deceitful. Every day we gave our young lady cold meals, our young lady told the slave maid to endure it, and the last time the slave couldn't bear to say a few words, but she was almost beaten to death. ”
Qi Wanwan frowned slightly, "They are so excessive to you?" You are also General Mu's daughter-in-law, I think they respect General Mu very much. ”
Mu Xiwan's fist hidden under her sleeve was secretly tightened, and anger was about to burst out in her eyes, she sneered, "Sister Wanwan, you don't know, they are kind to me on the surface, but in fact they are mean everywhere. Also, I don't think the death of my father and mother is that simple. ”
Qi Wanwan was stunned for a moment, "Sorry for the night, what do you mean?" What do you mean ......? ”
Mu Xi suppressed the low tone at night, and there was a whirlpool hidden in the cold voice, and the waves were turbulent, "Yes, that's right." I suspect that the death of my father and mother is related to the Qi family. ”
Immediately, her cold eyes gradually faded, and a layer of warmth floated up, "Sister Wanwan, I'm out of shape." I know you won't tell you until you say it, and I hope Sister Wanwan will keep it a secret for me, in the end...... I don't have proof yet. ”
Qi Wanwan sighed slightly, "You ......" She hesitated slightly, a trace of apprehension flashed in her eyes, and finally said, "You are very good, there is no need to spend on Qi Ke, he is not worth it." There are no good people in the Qi family, including my father, including the princess, including the person you love. ”
