Rong's mother sent Zhilan back to the room. Yancui cleverly twisted a handkerchief to cover her face, and the two of them changed her clothes and scrubbed her, and helped her lie on the bed.

Ignoring the pain on her body, Rong's mother scolded while cleaning her up: "The old immortal is such a ruthless hand!" I also have children, so you have called her mother for so many years, and you are still so mean! How distressed it would be if your mother was alive to see you like this! It's a pity that Mother Rong and I can't protect you and make you suffer. ”

"It's okay, Mommy Rong. You don't know what happened. Zhilan comforted her, "If you talk about it carefully, I should endure the affairs of the theater as before." Mother Rong, you are also injured, wait for a doctor to come and let him see him. ”

While the two were talking, Steward Zhou knocked on the door, and he brought a doctor over. The doctor gave Zhilan a consultation and prescribed medicine, and she insisted that Rong's mother also see a doctor. After the doctor had given them the ointment, everyone went out, leaving her alone to recuperate in her room, which was quiet.

Half-asleep and half-awake, I suddenly heard Yancui calling loudly outside the door: "Third Miss, the old master and the second young master are here." ”

Zhilan answered.

The old man hurriedly entered the house to check her injuries, and when he heard that this ointment would not leave a scar on his face, he seemed to let go of his heart and comforted her: "Lan'er, your mother's temper is in a hurry, it is definitely not intentional, don't blame her, I will talk to her." You have known the general situation since you were a child, and you will definitely be able to understand her. ”

Without waiting for Lan to make a sound, Zhou Muqing was anxious: "Dad, my mother is too ruthless in this matter, and she is completely beating Lan'er to death." No matter how wrong Lan'er is, she can't torture her like this! Dad, you have always loved Lan'er, but you can't just forget it. ”

"Qing'er, you have always been sensible, what are these words? If you don't fight right, it's also your mother! Parental responsibility must be accepted. Have you read "Disciple Rules", how can you say such unmeasured words! The old man's face turned gloomy.

"Dad, second brother, I'm fine, it's not painful. Whether it's me in the theater or not, I shouldn't be in front of others and dig through my eldest brother's old accounts. Fortunately, if my sister persuaded me, I didn't make a big mistake, it's all my fault, don't blame my mother. Zhilan knew since she was a child that she and the eldest lady were fighting, and she would definitely not get half of the benefits, so she secretly pulled the hem of La Muqing's clothes, signaling that he didn't have to stand up for himself.

"Listen, Lan'er is smart and speaks a lot more decently, you are not as good as your sister when you read so much, you don't know where you read all the books." The old man got up and walked to the door with a tone of reproach for Mu Qing, suddenly remembered something, and turned to Zhi Lan and said, "Lan girl, I asked the kitchen to make your favorite dim sum, you don't have to go downstairs to eat today, rest assured." ”

Zhilan squeezed out a smile, after all, her face was covered with ointment, her expression was very strange, and the old man frowned: "Qing'er, you accompany your sister more." And he departed.

In the room, Zhou Muqing sat next to Zhilan's bed, and her mother's words seemed to sound in her ears: Qing'er, in case your mother is not there one day, you have to take good care of Lan'er. Now that something happened, he consciously lived up to his mother's entrustment.

"I'm sorry Lan'er, if I had been by your side today, this wouldn't have happened. Sorry ......"

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided. In fact, I disobeyed her more than once, and there were already many lice that didn't itch. These causes and effects have been planted on the day I talked too much, or even earlier, who made me not her biological daughter, this is the original sin, even if you redeem it the day after tomorrow, you can't redeem it, it's better to think about it, and if you come it, you can be safe. Zhilan thought it through.

"But you don't know how to protect yourself! Over the years, we have always been cautious and never lightly expressed our opinions. Why do you suddenly can't help it these days and say it a few times? ”

"I don't know why, at that moment I wanted to stop my eldest brother, and I didn't care about anything else. I can only say that it may be because I have an indescribable sense of intimacy after seeing Miss Qi. ”

"Alas, maybe we have been forbearance for a long time, as long as there is a fuse, we will have emotional outbursts, hard work for you."

"Can you talk to me today?"

Mu Qing responded, and deliberately changed clothes from the room.

"Today's beating made me realize the fact that we are alone at home. Although you may be the successor of the Zhou family, in my opinion, my father is soft-hearted, and with the pillow wind of my aunt, I may not know who will fall into the flowers. Only if you take control of the Zhou family as soon as possible can you have the ability to become one of the best people in the city. Zhilan thought of Li Shaowen for no reason, and his momentum of scolding Fang Xuan could not be easily erased in his heart.

"Although I've thought about it more than once. But so far it's been difficult, I'm just my father's assistant, no one has no power. Mu Qing's expression was gloomy, and she tucked the corners of the quilt, "You have to allow me to think about it in the long run." ”

Zhilan said: "If I have anything to help you, tell me, I will definitely try." ”

"Okay, our brother and sister are of one mind."

"Third Miss, the medicine is here." Yeon-cui brought the medicine bowl to the side table.

Mu Qing came to Zhilan's side, put a coat on her, helped her sit up, and let her lean on her arms.

"Brother, I can drink it myself." Zhilan is not so close to other men, and even though he is his brother, he is still a little uncomfortable.

"I didn't take good care of you today and left you hurt. Let me do something for you tonight! He handed over a spoonful of the decoction. Mu Qing said sincerely, she was afraid that he would blame himself too much, so she no longer resisted. She was also greedy for his warmth, unconsciously shrank into his arms, and obediently drank the medicine, which was really bitter! She was a little nauseous.

"It's bitter! I'm going to get you some snacks and press it. Wait for me a moment. ”

At first glance, Zhilan, who was separated from the warm embrace, only felt cold, in the end, it was the season of spring cold! She wrapped herself in the quilt and leaned against the head of the bed.

After waiting for a while, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, Mu Qing entered the door and said with a smile: "Look what I brought you, look!" There is your favorite osmanthus sugar cake. Come and eat a little. He was very attentive and had the sugar cake cut into small pieces and spooned to feed her.

Looking at Mu Qing who was shushing in front of her, Zhilan suddenly understood that their intimacy and tacit understanding had long surpassed that of brothers and sisters, perhaps because the two of them had been with each other since childhood, and their emotions had melted into their bones and blood. The person in this family who really cares about himself is none other than Mu Qing.

At this moment, she enjoyed his tenderness, and a bubbling warm current went straight to the bottom of her heart.

"Is it still bitter?"

She shook her head.

"Second Young Master, Third Miss, dinner is here." Four or five maids and fish rushed in, setting the table and setting the table, and the cloth and vegetables were in order. After arranging, several people packed up and left with dishes, medicine bowls, etc.

Mu Qing helped Zhilan get up. The two of them sat down opposite each other, and it was difficult for them to eat together alone, and Mu Qing was very attentive to the rice.

Zhilan's cheeks ached, and she stopped eating. Seeing her appearance, he was heartbroken and resentful, how could he be in the mood to taste the food, and he stopped eating luxury for a while.

"Brother, why don't you eat it?"

"I'm not hungry when I've eaten." He looked at her who also stopped her chopsticks, "What's wrong?" ”

"Seriously, I opened my eyes today, it's a shame you didn't go! In the past, I only thought that Sister Ru was no longer a good thing, until I saw the three sisters of the Qi family, I knew that there were people outside the world. The three of them have their own merits, the eldest lady Qi Mei is an ice beauty, and the third lady Qi Shan I really like her dusty temperament, but unfortunately she was taken by the eldest brother. The most beautiful and lively in the Qi family is the second lady Qi Ying, and I can't describe the beauty of that kind. ”

Mu Qing looked at Zhilan who had a thick gauze bandage on her face, and her heart was even more uncomfortable. Since she changed the subject, she asked in passing, "Really?" Is it so beautiful? However, even if the heavenly immortals descend to earth, they are not as good as my Lan...... Younger sister. ”

"Brother, you're going to make me happy. By the way, have you heard of Li Shaowen? This person is very difficult to entangle, you may deal with him in business, be careful with him. Thinking of Li Shaowen, she still felt an indescribable feeling like a fish in her throat.

"Did you see him today? After he came back from Shanghai, he took over the Li Zhihe firm, and he was very skillful in doing business, soft and hard, and thoughtful, and he was a rare figure. I have had a little contact with him, and I have dealt with him a few times, and I am sure that this man will be a fierce rival to our Wande. By the way, he is still like his sister's cousin. Mu Qing groaned.

"I know that my sister has told me that she likes him for many years. But I think my sister may be entrusted to someone else. He sent me and my sister back today, and I was speechless when I knew that my sister liked him and said something out of tune to me. She thought of the ambiguous scene in the car and pouted.

Mu Qing immediately became alert and asked again and again, and Zhilan told him what had happened.

He was shocked in his heart and hurriedly said, "Lan'er, he is a very dangerous person. You are not deeply involved in the world, so you must beware of him. If he wants to ask you out again, you will try to push it off, and you must tell me. Remember! This is important. ”

"Hmm. I listen to you. Zhilan nodded.

Mu Qing glanced at her worriedly, she had become more and more full of the meaning of a mature woman, and the more she regretted the clothes she gave her that day, and even more regretted that she didn't say that she was not allowed to wear them to the play.

Zhou Muqing got up late again this morning. He had been with Zhilan last night, and when she was ready to wash up and go to sleep, he still went to the study to discuss work with the old man.

was busy until midnight, but missed the nightstay, lay on the bed tossing and turning, and fell asleep in a trance for the third watch.

Phoenix twisted the handkerchief to cover his face, Mu Qing's face was steamed, his spirit was much more relaxed, and he asked, "Is the third lady up?" ”

Phoenix replied respectfully, "Yes, she has had breakfast." ”

"Okay, I see." Mu Qing handed her the handkerchief.

"Does the young master want to visit her? Phoenix watched Mu Qing's action of opening the door and asked.

Mu Qing's back replied to her: "Yes." ”

Phoenix stood in the room in a daze, and heard the sound of the door opening next door.

"Second brother, you're late again today." Zhilan leaned against the door and smiled.

"yes!" Mu Qing looked at her, there was a warmth in her eyes that couldn't be hidden, and she said with a smile, "Your mental state is much better today." ”

"Thanks to you for being with me last night, I was able to get better so quickly. After saying this, she plucked up her courage, "Thank you." ”
