Chapter 316: Room for Maneuver
Lu Qingzi asked, Mu Xuan also arrived at the counter, and the shopkeeper Zhang seemed to remember something painful, and sighed deeply.
"The name of the person who just came is Li Yinchuan, he is a gangster in the neighborhood, originally he just came to eat some white food, and my small noodle restaurant can still provide it." Shopkeeper Zhang said to Lu Qingzi: "But then I don't know what happened, I started to collect the protection money door to door, and someone wanted to report to the official, but someone broke his leg on the same day." ”
Lu Qingzi frowned slightly, "Then no one dares to go?" ”
Shopkeeper Zhang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "How can it! The family that was beaten went to report to the official on the same day, who knew that Li Yinchuan was arrested and came out with a swagger in just one day, not only was it fine, but also hoped that the beaten family would compensate Li Yinchuan for his money. ”
Hearing the words of the shopkeeper, even the taciturn Mu Xuan couldn't listen to it: "There is such a thing? Why should you give him silver? ”
Shopkeeper Zhang smiled bitterly, "It's not!" Since then, no one has reported to the official, and it is in vain anyway, so it is better to spend money every month to buy a stable. ”
Lu Qingzi looked at Shopkeeper Zhang's graying hair, and couldn't help clenching his fists, "It seems that there is someone behind Li Yinchuan who supports him, and someone asked him to do this, so naturally someone will clean up this mess for him!" ”
Shopkeeper Zhang nodded and didn't speak, it seemed that they didn't know whose thigh Li Yinchuan was hugging, so they dared to collect money so blatantly.
Lu Qingzi turned his head to look at Mu Xuan and said, "Let's go!" ”
Mu Xuan responded, and followed Lu Qingzi out of the noodle restaurant before saying to her: "Is there no one to care about such a thing?" ”
"That's it!" Lu Qingzi dispelled a certain thought in his heart, as if he was admonishing himself, and as if he was persuading Mu Xuan: "I can't manage this kind of thing." ”
Mu Xuan didn't speak, and Lu Qingzi knew that he was not happy in his heart, but who could do that?
The two of them walked aimlessly, while paying attention to the passers-by, for fear of missing the messenger.
Today's weather is already hot, and it is the time when the sun is at its highest at noon, Lu Qingzi regrets coming out of the noodle shop too early, and now the sun is scorching, and there is not even a gust of wind, and it is very hot.
"Let's find a place to escape from the sun!" Lu Qingzi wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief and said a word to Mu Xuan.
Mu Xuan nodded, he was glad to come out in civilian clothes at the moment, otherwise he was afraid that he would have realized the hot prickly heat of his body.
"Let's go over there!" Mu Xuan looked at it for a long time, pointed to an alley where there were no people, and said to Lu Qingzi: "There is also a cool eaves there, it's better than here." ”
Lu Qingzi responded and followed Mu Xuan over.
It's shady and there are eaves to shade the sun, so it's really cooler.
Lu Qingzi took advantage of this opportunity, turned his head and glanced at Mu Xuan and asked, "I forgot to ask you yesterday, is Gu Ningyue okay?" ”
Mu Xuan's hands that were originally wiping sweat paused, "Well, it's okay." ”
When Lu Qingzi saw him like that, he knew that the two of them must have caused something unpleasant.
"Really? Didn't quarrel? ”
Mu Xuan remembered Gu Ningyue's eyes full of anger, and he didn't know how to answer Lu Qingzi's question for a while.
Seeing him like this, Lu Qingzi continued: "Gu Ningyue's life is actually not easy, even more difficult than you and me. It's just that she has a weird temperament, and she can't say a single one of the ten thousand sad things. ”
Mu Xuan nodded, "Hmm." ”
Lu Qingzi turned her head to look at Mu Xuan and asked, "You won't tell Gu Ningyue about her being like that girl, right?" ”
"Yes, she asked me, and her subordinates said it, including this one." Mu Xuan and Lu Qingzi's eyes looked at each other, without a hint of evasion, "She should know that her subordinates don't want to lie to her, and they don't want to lie to themselves." ”
Lu Qingzi was shocked, she originally wanted to wait for a few days for the matter to be dealt with clearly, and everything she wanted to know was also figured out, so she went back to Fenghuaguan.
But at this moment, when she heard Mu Xuan tell Gu Ningyue the truth, she couldn't help but change her mind, she must go back to Fenghuaguan as soon as possible.
Otherwise, Gu Ningyue's personality may be distorted at any time and do many uncontrollable things.
She can't lose it anymore, there may be many people in this world who can cure Wen Ye's poison, but Lu Qingzi doesn't dare to think about whether she still has that kind of luck.
Lu Qingzi thought of this and said to Mu Xuan: "You shouldn't tell her this. ”
Mu Xuan was a little puzzled, "What Miss Lu said, her subordinates don't understand, why shouldn't you tell her?" ”
He treats her differently than others, maybe it's just because she's like others and will be fine in the future, in this case, Mu Xuan feels that he should say it to Gu Ningyue.
He doesn't like to hide and he doesn't like to tell lies.
Lu Qingzi looked at Mu Xuan and asked, "Do you like Gu Ningyue?" Or do you like the girl who looks like her? If you can't tell the difference yourself, why do you want to say this with Gu Ningyue? ”
Mu Xuan wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his mind was in a mess, he couldn't say anything, and he didn't know what to say.
Lu Qingzi was right, he didn't even know his own intentions, he really shouldn't say this to Gu Ningyue now.
Seeing that he was silent, Lu Qingzi continued: "Gu Ningyue has a ruthless temperament, but it's because no one really treats her, and you do this just to push her further to the edge of the cliff." You think you're kind? In fact, you just stabbed Gu Ningyue in the body! ”
Lu Qingzi's voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderbolt exploding in Mu Xuan's heart.
He stood in place for a long time, then looked at Lu Qingzi and said: "But the matter has come to this, and there is no room for maneuver, what you say is just water that is spilled, and you can't take it back." ”
Mu Xuan originally thought that it would be a good thing for Gu Ningyue to explain what he said in his heart, but Lu Qingzi's words just now completely broke what he thought.
At this moment, he understood why Gu Ningyue was angry, why there were tears in her eyes, it turned out that she was just stabbed with a knife in her heart.
Could it be that I was really wrong?
"There's still a chance to maneuver." Lu Qingzi looked at Mu Xuan and said, "If you are willing, I can convey some words for you when I go back." ”
Lu Qingzi admitted that she was selfish, and before Wen Ye's poisoning, she couldn't let Gu Ningyue, the doctor, have any problems.
At the very least, before Wen Ye recovered, Gu Ningyue would be physically and mentally safe.
After all, Jiang Mingxuan had already died at the hands of Gu Ningyue, and she was not completely sure that Gu Ningyue would always remain the same for the sake of a promise.
