Chapter 21 Delay in Marriage

When Mu Qingqi was returning to Xia Xia Garden, he happened to meet Xia Wupu again.

"Brother Wupu, it's so cold and it's snowing outside, why don't you go back to your room and stay? Why, do you think that if you are messing around like this and getting sick, I won't bother you? Some people, canaries are canaries, don't think about what you can do to escape from the cage. Mu Qingqi felt that Xia Cheng'er was really tired, and he couldn't say it in a normal tone if he cared about it, so he had to refer to what Sang scolded Huai.

"Sister Orange is really joking, I just want to take a walk outside, if it's in your way, then I'll go back to the house now." However, it was colder inside my house than outside, so my sister should not come with me. Xia Wupu coughed lightly twice, looking very delicate.

"You're really right, you're in my way, hurry up and get me back to the house. I'd like to see if your house is as cold as you say. If you lie, you will do so at your own peril. Mu Qingqi just wanted to see Xia Wupu's house, well, she admitted, that kid's appearance was too pitiful, she couldn't stand it.

Xia Wupu lowered his eyes coldly, turned around and entered the house. As soon as Mu Qingqi entered the house, he really felt a chill, this room... It seems a little unusual.

"Sister Orange, if you feel that you can't stand it, go out first."

"Hmph, who said that," Mu Qingqi was recalling the details about Xia Wupu, she should have missed something and didn't notice it, "What's the matter, there is no fire charcoal in this house?" Is it that the next person dares to commit such a crime and withhold your winter supplies? ”

"Hehehe," Xia Wupu shook his head, "No, I'm not afraid of the cold or the heat, so let them take away all the charcoals." Sister Orange doesn't need to worry, it's just my personal thoughts, and I don't need to implicate those subordinates. ”

"Is there hot tea here?" Mu Qingqi found a chair and sat down, mumping and blueberry waiting on the side.

"Ahsan, make a pot of hot tea for Sister Orange."

The little servant named Ah Shan soon came over with hot tea, and after carefully pouring a cup of hot tea for Mu Qingqi, he withdrew. Although he was trying his best to hide his emotions, Mu Qingqi still clearly saw his fear and hatred for Xia Cheng'er in his eyes.

Mu Qingqi shivered uncomfortably when she saw the fleeting vicious eyes, she wanted to drink hot tea, but now where do she dare to drink it, and she doesn't have that appetite anymore.

"Forget it, I'm leaving." Mu Qingqi didn't wait for Xia Wupu to reply, and went straight out.

Xia Wupu's faint eyes and dark black pupils looked straight at the back of "Xia Cheng'er" leaving.

Mu Qingqi went out of the door, frowning uncomfortably, with a bitter little face.

"That Xia Wupu is practicing the cold evil martial arts, if I guess correctly, there should be a cold stone that is at least a thousand years old in the house." Blueberry carefully shielded Mu Qing from the snow while saying what he had found.

Like Mu Qingqi, she has no martial arts background, so she was choked by the cold just now, but she still cares about Mu Qingqi first, "Miss Xia Xia, are you okay?" Let's go back quickly and prepare a hot pot for you to warm your stomach. ”

Mu Qingqi's face was pale, and he couldn't keep his spirits up and said, "I'm fine, let's go first." ”

Finally returned to Xia Xia Garden, Mu Qingqi realized that something was wrong, it turned out that his aunt was here, but it should be called Kwai Shui here.

Simbling went to get hot water for Mu Qingqi, Blueberry had painkillers in his hands, and he was hesitating whether to give Mu Qingqi, after all, it was three points poisonous.

Blueberry still asked, "Miss Xia Xia, you... Is it still bearable? ”

"I'm fine...."Mu Qingqi couldn't stand the fact that she didn't even have an aunt's towel here, she roughly cleaned herself up, used the strips of cotton made of cotton she brought to pad it, and now she was lying on the bed in a daze.

"You say, why am I so unlucky, I suspect that my Kwai water was scared out of Naxia Wupu's attendants."

Blueberry's eyes darkened, if she hadn't accidentally discovered that the prince and Naxia Wupu were still cooperating, just with that Ah Shan's attitude towards the wooden girl, she would definitely take off that Ah Shan's head.

She didn't see that Ah Shan's vicious eyes, so she couldn't understand what Mu Qingqi meant by being scared, but she was happy for Mu Qingqi, she came to Kwai Shui, and she was a big girl. In this way, it is better to marry their prince and become a princess, so that they can spread the branches and leaves for the palace in the future.

"Let's take a few days in the palace first, anyway, the progress of things can't be pulled up now, and it will inevitably backfire to keep urging that Xia Dun." Mu Qingqi was a little uncomfortable, not only physically, but also mentally. This sudden melancholy made Mu Qingqi more and more unable to keep his spirits up.

"Yes." He looked at Mu Qingqi with distressed eyes.

"Then Miss Xia Xia, you have a good rest first, mumble you take care of it, I'll step back first." Blueberry thought about going to this house for a walk, and by the way, he went to the prince to report the current situation.

Mu Qingqi nodded and fell asleep deeply.

On the day of the cold winter wax moon, there was a funeral in Huaiyang Houfu, a person who was really unexpected by everyone died. Xia Zhi's age can be described as the prime of life, usually strong and strong, but now he has died violently, which is really surprising.

Xia Zhi, the biggest problem with this person is the water-based poplar, and he is famous for being greedy for women, but with Xia Dun's brother, fortunately, Xia Wupu is still the only one.

"Bastard thing! Ford! Give me a thorough investigation, I don't believe that Ah Zhi will suddenly die, there must be someone behind this who poisoned Ah Zhi! Xia Dun's eyes were red, and he roared in a low voice, even if he saw the corpse, he still didn't want to believe that his younger brother Xia Zhi would die if he said that he would die, obviously the family was eating together the day before yesterday.

"Yes, master, Ah Fu will go and investigate the truth thoroughly." A middle-aged man, who agreed in a low voice, turned around and changed his eyes disdainfully, crooked his mouth slightly, and walked out of the room quickly.

The rest of the people were all trembling, and they didn't dare to breathe, except for Yin Songzhi who dared to come forward to persuade a word or two, and the "Ah Zi" dressed by Beiniang dared to look at the excitement there.

Xia Xia Garden near a rockery.

"Done?"

"Yes, I promise that there will be no clues, please rest assured."

"Okay, go back, I'll tell Childe."

"Yes." Ah Fu respectfully said goodbye and turned around, and went to a place of smoke and willows to look for a substitute for the dead ghost.

Blueberry clasped his hands and listened to this brief conversation with interest, but he didn't expect to come out casually, and it was really rewarding. She had just heard one of the voices today, and if she was not mistaken, it should be that Ah Fu. As for the other, she was a child, and from her point of view, she only saw a slightly rickety back, which seemed to be an elderly man. It seems that something is wrong in this house.

Blueberry thought about it, Miss Mu's safety came first, so she had better go back to Xia Xia Garden to guard it first. As for reporting the news, she still has a chance to communicate it to Beiniang.

In the North Palace, Ye Fu arranged the follow-up deployment, and after reading the account books of the various industrial chains of the palace, he rubbed his forehead a little tiredly.

"Lan Ye."

"Lord, what do you command?"

"Huaiyang Houfu is there... How's it going? ”

Lan Ye had no choice but to tell the truth, "My subordinates don't know, somehow, Blueberry she... hasn't come back to deliver the message yet, and Beiniang has not moved for the time being. ”

Ye Fu pondered quietly, "Visit Huaiyang Houfu tonight, go down and prepare." ”

"Yes." Lan Ye replied and went down to prepare.

When Mu Qingqi woke up, it was already dusk, and a maid came to report about Xia Erye's funeral, and when she learned that Miss Xia Xia was sleeping, she breathed a sigh of relief, so she told her about it.

"Miss Xia Xia, Second Master Xia has passed away."

"Huh?" Mu Qingqi had an expression of who are you talking about, what does it matter to me?

Mumbling lowered his voice, approached Mu Qingqi and said, "It's Xia Zhi, Xia Cheng'er, her second uncle, Xia Dun's younger brother, and Xia Wupu's father." ”

"Why so suddenly?" Mu Qingqi muttered and remembered the existence of this character, but she remembered that he died not so early, it was in the later part of the novel, after being used by Xia Wupu again, he was killed by Xia Wupu with a knife.

"I don't know, I asked, but the person who came to deliver the news only said that he was killed violently, and there was no other news."

Mu Qingqi's heart sank, as soon as Xia Zhi died, there was a funeral in Huaiyang Houfu, then her marriage date would definitely be postponed. She got out of bed sadly and looked around, only grunting, and asked, "What about the blueberries?" Haven't come back yet? ”

Blueberry heard the wooden girl ask her, so she came down from the roof with a "boom".

Mu Qingqi patted his heart, "Blueberry, you scared me, why did you go to the roof?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm looking at the wind, I'm afraid that someone will suddenly come to hurt Miss Mu."

Mu Qingqi looked up, there were several tiles on the top, no wonder it was a lot colder in the house, fortunately the weather is sunny now, there is no snow, but if it rains in this weather, it will be over. Mu Qingqi looked at Blueberry intently, and said faintly: "Blueberry, let me tell you, whether I will be injured or not, no one knows yet." But if you don't fix this roof sooner, I'll tell you, you're dead. ”

Blueberry touched his stamina in embarrassment, "I have gossip, don't you listen to it." ”

"Hmph, don't think that if you gossip with me, I won't let you repair the roof."

"Then I won't talk about it?" Not long after getting along, Blueberry roughly figured out the character of the wooden girl, so he dared to joke with her.

"No way!" Mu Qingqi looked at the blueberries with a puffed face on Xia Cheng'er's face.

"This thing... It should have been instructed by Xia Wupu. ”

As soon as Blueberry's words came out, the first one couldn't believe it, and stood up to retort, "How is this possible?" They are father and son, how could it be that Wu Pu Gongzi is such a fairy-like character... Patricide? Besides, he doesn't look powerless, isn't he still a sick body in a medicine jar? ”

Blueberry Nunu chin and looked at Mu Qingqi, wondering what she thought.

Mu Qingqi gave a light blow to the back of the gumping head, "Stupid, you don't know your heart." People are floating in the rivers and lakes, can they grow some hearts. ”

"Oh." Sighing touched the back of her head in annoyance, since Miss Mu said so, then... She should have been fascinated by Xia Wupu's beauty.
