Yuchun saluted Mu Qing and Master Qi, smiled faintly, and turned to leave. Mu Qing knew that she was Zhilan's biological mother, and she was very kind to her, so she wanted to greet her, but she had to give up when she left.

Bi Chun came just in time, and she came over with a small plate of cut gourd cake.

"Anyway, it's gone, it looks like I'm late." Bi Chun said with a smile. Mu Qing had to admit that her smile was very charming, no wonder she could become a quasi-hostess in the backyard of the Qi family.

"It's okay, it's not like they haven't eaten." Master Qi took over.

"Here, you taste." Bi Chun put the plate in front of Mu Qing.

"It's really delicious, Zhou Muqing, eat and see." Qi Mei looked at him with cute and expectant eyes, and handed him a pair of chopsticks.

Mu Qing is a normal man after all, he can't stand Qi Mei's eyes, he avoids her eyes, takes the chopsticks she handed over, and puts a few pieces in his mouth.

It's delicious! The cake is to be eaten while it is hot, glutinous and sweet, a little nut kernel is deliberately sprinkled inside, I don't know what flower juice is mixed in, there is a faint fragrance. Rao is Mu Qing doesn't like sweets, and still eats a few more slices.

Qi Mei saw that he was eating well, and couldn't help but directly take a few slices with her hand and put them in her mouth.

Bi Chun watched her daughter's movements, and didn't know if her eating made her amuse, so she covered her mouth and smiled softly.

Master Qi deliberately patted Qi Mei a few times and said, "Look at you like this, how do you look like a lady, which makes the virtuous nephew smile." ”

"Dad, I've always been." Qi Mei chewed the pastry in her mouth, and said nonchalantly, "Mu Qing understands me." ”

Mu Qing smiled politely.

"After eating, I'll take Mu Qing to the backyard for a walk." Qi Mei finished eating the gourd cake, clapped her hands casually, pulled Mu Qing up and walked outside the dining room.

"Don't go to Cailing Courtyard, don't disturb your three mothers." Bi Chun admonished.

Master Qi casually glanced at Bi Chun, and he liked her heart as fine as a hair.

"I know, I won't go to Sanniang Siniang's side."

Zhou Muqing walked with her, and Qi Mei habitually took his arm and led him slowly along the water pavilion.

"It's a pity that I can only take you half along the lotus pond, which is the Zhilan Garden where Cailing Courtyard and Siniang live." Qi Mei pointed to Mu Qing from afar and said.

"Where's that little two-story building?" Mu Qing looked around the lotus pond and saw a small building standing tall in the world and asked.

"You see that the highest thing in my house is the library building, which has the best scenery over there, overlooking the entire Qi family. It's a pity I can't take you there. The inner courtyard is a place where the heads of the Qi family can live in the past generations, and now my father lives there. ”

"No wonder you told me last time that my garden is small, so it seems that what you said is true." Mu Qing sighed.

"You don't have a family, but I really like your garden." Qi Mei leaned against the railing of the water pavilion.

"I forgot to ask, why did you wink at me at the dinner table before?"

"Do you know what my sister's 'illness' is?"

Mu Qing shook his head and looked at her with a mysterious look. I don't know why, the image of Zhilan suddenly appeared in his mind: "Do you guess what happened to the eldest brother again?" At that time, she asked this sentence with a mysterious smile like Qi Mei. Seeing that Mu Qing was distracted, Qi Mei waved his hand in front of him, and he came back to his senses.

"What are you thinking about?" Qi Mei pursed her lips, "Did I hear what I was talking to you just now?" ”

"Hmm." Mu Qing replied casually.

"Let me tell you, my sister Qi Ying fell in love with her piano teacher, but my father disagreed, so he locked her up and let her not have contact with people."

Qi Mei's words were like a thunderbolt striking him. Isn't Qi Ying a copy of Zhilan! It's just that they shot fast back then, and there wasn't enough time for them to blossom and bear fruit.

He was dizzy for a while, and suddenly he couldn't stand, did he stand here and suffer from heat stroke, why was it so uncomfortable?

"You...... What's wrong? Qi Mei found that something was wrong with Mu Qing, she wanted to hold him up, but she couldn't exert her strength anyway, and before she could think clearly, Mu Qing next to her "plopped" and collapsed to the ground.

"Mu Qing." She tried to call him, but her legs were so weak that her voice couldn't come out of her throat, and then she fell unconscious.

"Quick, move them into the guest room next to them." Someone commanded, and immediately several strong servants swarmed up and carried them into a guest room next to the water pavilion.

Bi Chun was anxiously waiting for news in her room.

"Second lady, the things you explained have been done." The servant came to report it, and she was relieved.

Master Qi was separated by her words, and he went to the inner courtyard study to take a rest, which was a God-given opportunity, and he would definitely be able to help his daughter fulfill this wish.

Nearly an hour passed.

"Oh no, no."

"What's going on?" Master Qi asked.

"I searched all over the house, and all the courtyards went, but I didn't see Young Master Zhou and the eldest lady."

The news quickly spread, and Bichun also heard about it. She anxiously pinched her handkerchief and asked Master Qi to come.

"Master, this is ......" Bi Chun asked eagerly. She looked distracted, her eyes were red, as if she had cried.

"Don't worry, I've already sent someone to look for it in each courtyard." Master Qi comforted her.

Before the words fell, Yaochun arrived.

"Master, you are unfair, the person is lost and it is not hidden by our Cailing Courtyard, why did you order your subordinates to rummage around in our third room." Yaochun was very unhappy.

"Zhou Xian's nephew is a distinguished guest, what if such a big thing happens, what if you sacrifice the three rooms? You see that Zhilan Yuan has no objections. Master Qi suddenly stretched his face and was unhappy.

"Master, I told Meimei not to take Zhou Xian's nephew around. Although her personality is a little willful and casual, after all, she has never disobeyed me. Bi Chun calmed down and thought for a while, "Could it still be near the Water Pavilion?" ”

"Yes, yes, how did you forget about it?" Master Qi patted his head.

"The third sister can't help it, I'm disturbing your three rooms for Meimei's business." Bi Chun verbally begged Yaochun for a no. Yaochun pursed her lips and said in her heart: I know that I will do it for the master to see!

Master Qi reluctantly persuaded: "You are all mothers, and you always make trouble when you meet?" We are always a family, and we want to be harmonious. ”

"Yes." Bi Chun took the lead and said.

Yaochun couldn't say anything more.

"Master, the person has found it, in the guest room of the water pavilion, but ......" the butler came to report, he wanted to speak and stopped, "You and the second lady will go and see for yourself." ”

"What's wrong?" Bi Chun asked as if he didn't know anything.

Master Qi listened to the butler's tone, his heart sank, and he immediately ordered the butler to lead the way.

Bi Chun and Yao Chun both followed.

The door opened.

Yaochun called out first: "What's the matter?" Sir, what's going on? Her exaggerated tone of voice was well known.

On the bed lay Mu Qing and Qi Mei. Mu Qing woke up first, was dumbfounded, got up and looked at Qi Mei, who was still asleep wrapped in a quilt beside her, and didn't say anything for a long time.

Qi Mei also woke up in a moment, she sat up sleepily, checked the clothes on her body in a daze, they were intact, looked around and saw a circle of people around, and hurriedly hugged the quilt in a panic and shouted to Mu Qing: "Mu Qing, what did you do to me, why are we in bed?" ”

Old Man Qi came over angrily and said to Mu Qing: "Zhou Muqing, you explain to us, what is the reason?" ”

"I... I... I don't know... How could it be here. Mu Qing couldn't tell what he was talking about, but he knew that he must have been calculated.

"Master, everyone is watching, our Meimei's reputation cannot be ruined in vain, please ask the master to be the master of our Meimei." Bi Chun pleaded with tears in her eyes at the right time, wiping her tears with a handkerchief from time to time.

"Don't worry, I'll call the shots for you." Master Qi's face was pale, he waved all the subordinates away, and told him not to reach the old lady's ears, and now only Master Qi, Yaochun, Bichun and the two parties were left in the house.

Zhou Muqing tidied up his clothes, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, but he calmed down, with a kind of indifference on his face, Qi Mei then came down shyly and obediently slipped to her mother's side.

"Nephew Zhou Xian, we respect you as a guest, I know that Meimei's heart is promised to you, you ...... shouldn't have done such a thing, she had this kind of thing, and it would be spread in the future, how could she remarry? Alas! Old Man Qi hung his head and said.

Zhou Muqing didn't squeak. Originally, he agreed to the invitation of the Qi family, and he was already mentally prepared, but the fact that this matter was rampant and disrupted his rhythm, and he immediately understood that someone in the Qi family had deliberately set up this bureau, and now he can only see the move.

"Nephew Zhou Xian, the matter has come to this, you have to give me an answer today and be responsible for this matter." At this banquet, Master Qi couldn't see Mu Qing's intentions for his daughter, he was quite worried, this incident happened in front of him, for fear that Mu Qing would not admit it, so he would pity his daughter.

"How do you want me to be responsible, I didn't do anything to your daughter!"

"How can it be!" Master Qi said angrily, "The ancient women's name is important, my Qi family has seen it for all to see, do you want to force my daughter to death?" I only have a word from you, after you go back, you must be hired by three media and six times, and give me Meimei a name, otherwise my Qi family will not be bullied. ”

Facing the angry Master Qi and the angry Qi family wives, Mu Qing's face was calm, and he thought for a long time and said, "Since this is the case, follow Uncle Qi's orders." ”

When Master Qi heard Mu Qing say this, his face immediately changed. As long as Zhou Muqing is willing to admit it, he can rest assured, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has guessed a few points from the person who set up the game, and glanced at Bichun.

"Well, well, I like to talk to smart people." Master Qi smiled heartily.

"The words have been made clear, it is useless for me to stay longer, so I will take my leave." Mu Qing waved and went out of the gate of Qi's house to take the car back.

When I got home, I saw the old man and told him about the past.

Master Zhou said: "Whether they are designed by you or not, you have to give an explanation to the niece of the Qi family." ”

"I know." Mu Qing replied in a low voice, "I've already thought about it. ”

"Then you don't have to worry about the rest, Daddy will do it." The old man patted him on the shoulder, "She's a good girl, cherish it." ”

The old man really took action, and he acted resolutely, and soon set a date for them, which was on the sixteenth of this month.

Mu Qing is always indifferent to Qi Mei, not very enthusiastic, although she has a cheerful personality and pleasant speech, and she is also single-minded to herself, he has asked himself countless times, in theory, he should like her.

Qi Mei is full of confidence in herself, as long as she works hard, she will definitely fall in love with herself one day.
