Young Lady Liu glanced at Mu Chen, who was talking to people on the side, and said, "In the past, I just heard that Boss Mu was haunted and traveled all over the world, which was a strange thing in the business world. Seeing him play polo today is also amazing, no one can match it. We have met fierce opponents in both of these games, and if it weren't for his tacit cooperation with you, I'm afraid we wouldn't be so beautiful and wouldn't have won such good spoils. ”

Chi Yue replied with a smile, "Mu Gongzi is good everywhere, and he is also very kind, in my opinion, there is no more perfect person than him." ”

She wasn't complimenting Mu Chen, but she really thought so in her heart.

Mrs. Liu sneered, and looked at Chi Yue thoughtfully, "Yes, you also like him very much, you are in love, aren't you?" ”

Chi Yue didn't expect Young Lady Liu to say such words, her face suddenly turned red, and she pretended to be ashamed and said, "Sister, where did you hear this nonsense?" Mu Gongzi and I are innocent, just ordinary friends, not what you think, don't talk nonsense! ”

"Where did I hear this? I saw it with my own eyes. Mrs. Liu deliberately teased her, and seeing that Chi Yue was more shy, the more she affirmed her guess, "When Shicai was playing polo, I saw that Mu Gongzi was very protective of you, lest you participate in a fierce battle and be injured by the opponent's horse pole or polo." When you were about to be rammed, he stuck in the middle and took over the battle head-on. The game is over, and they are constantly fetching water for you to drink, and they are shushing you. If it weren't out of concern, would it be so meticulous and meticulous to take care of you? When we see it, we are all envious and jealous! ”

Without Mrs. Liu mentioning it, Chi Yue really didn't notice this.

Or rather, she noticed it, but didn't take it to heart, just regarded it as a normal concern between friends.

Thinking about it now, Mu Chen really took too much care of her.

However, she didn't want to admit this, so she said to Mrs. Liu with a straight face: "Sister, don't you have to laugh anymore, if you let Mu Gongzi hear it, you will be embarrassed." We're really just ordinary friends, and we don't have any other ideas about each other, so don't speculate. ”

"So, you haven't punctured that layer of window paper yet?" Mrs. Liu Shao said with a smile, "My sister is from here, I still have to persuade you, such a good man should not be missed, let others go." Although he is a little older than you, the older the man, the more mature he is, isn't he? Yue'er, you have to hurry! ”

Chi Yue's face was full of black lines, and she couldn't argue. She doesn't have that idea, okay?

Seeing that Chi Yue was stunned and refused to admit it, Mrs. Liu had no choice but to stop talking for the time being, and smiled meaningfully.

"Futai-sama has arrived!" A loud voice suddenly broke the hustle and bustle on the field, and the surroundings were suddenly silent and solemn.

When Zheng Cheng, the lord of Futai, dressed in official uniforms and under the protection of the officials, strode in from the gate of the racecourse, many people who approached him saluted one after another to express their greetings.

"This official came today for a case, and he came to investigate in person, and you continue to play, don't be disinterested because of me." Zheng Cheng said, and continued to walk towards the depths of the racecourse.

When passing by Chi Yue and his group, he suddenly stopped.

When Chi Yue and Mrs. Liu were wondering, they saw Zheng Cheng striding towards Mu Chen's direction, and said with a smile: "Brother Mu Xian, but are you?" I haven't seen you for a long time, but I'm glad I will! ”

Mu Chen was originally brushing the horse's hair behind the horse, thinking that Zheng Cheng couldn't see him, but he didn't expect Zheng Cheng's eyes to be extremely sharp, and he actually thought of Mu Chen from his outstretched hand, and when he approached to look, he became more and more sure that it was him.

Mu Chen had to come out from behind the horse, and he greeted him with a smile, and bowed his hand and said, "Brother Zheng, long time no see!" ”

Seeing that Mu Chen actually called him a brother and a brother to Lord Futai, Chi Yue couldn't help but be shocked.

She thought that Mu Chen was just dealing with people in the business world, and she thought that she would have such honorable friends in the officialdom.

But seeing that the two of them were noisy for a while, Zheng Cheng asked Mu Chen why he was going elsewhere at the beginning of the year, and Mu Chen sighed: "It's just that there are some problems in the restaurant in the northwest, which has caused disputes, and I must go and take a trip and deal with it myself." ”

Zheng Cheng also said solemnly: "Brother Xian doesn't need to panic. Are you talking about the natural residence in Chengzhou Mansion? Or is it from the other side of Baihe Mountain? I have some acquaintances in the northwest, who are big or small officials there, and if there is a need, I will inform them and tell them to go and help you, and if it is not a big trouble, it can be solved. ”

Mu Chenruo smiled awkwardly, "Thank you Brother Zheng for your kindness, I understand it." It's just that it's not a big deal, I can handle it myself, and I don't have to bother Brother Zheng to ask someone to help you go all the way. ”

Here, Young Lady Liu leaned into Chi Yue's ear, lowered her voice, and said with surprise: "Good girl, Mu Gongzi seems to be very friendly with Lord Zheng, he is in trouble in the northwest of Dasheng Kingdom, and Lord Zheng has to go all the way to ask someone to help him, which shows the depth of friendship!" ”

Chi Yue smiled and didn't say anything, but thought about something in her heart, and suddenly felt confused.

After Zheng Cheng finished inspecting the venue, he led the people to leave again, and the venue was lively and vibrant again.

Young Lady Liu wanted to pull Chi Yue forward to fight again, but Chi Yue excused herself from being tired and avoided playing.

Mu Chen saw that she seemed to have something on her mind, and proposed: "It's going to be noon, and the children are hungry, let's go to the natural residence in Minzhou Mansion to have a big meal, how about it?" ”

Chi Yue didn't agree or excuse herself, she was silent for a while, looked at Mu Chen suddenly, and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Mu, have you known Lord Futai for a long time?" Why is he so friendly with you? ”

Mu Chen didn't expect Chi Yue to ask this question, so he hesitated for a moment before saying, "To tell you the truth, I was a classmate and friend of Master Futai when he was young, and later when he didn't join the company, he also did business together for a while......"

Chi Yue raised her eyebrows, her heart was clear, but the stone on her heart became heavier and heavier.

She moved her lips to ask something, but she didn't say anything.

She wanted to ask, since he was so friendly with Minzhou Futai, and the latter treated him so kindly and responded to his requests, why did he only say that he had no way to ask for help and couldn't help her when she was killed and imprisoned?

Is he unable to help, or is he unwilling to help?

She wanted to ask, but she didn't dare to ask, afraid that when he couldn't answer, the friendship between the two was estranged, and they no longer trusted each other unconditionally as before.

It is clear that deep in her unnoticed heart, she already has a trace of distrust towards Mu Chen.

Chi Yue only said that she didn't want to eat from outside, so Mu Chen had to send her and her younger siblings back to Wuxiang Village.

Along the way, the two didn't say much, and the air in the carriage was delicate.

Chi Yue got out of the car, and she didn't mean to leave Mu Chen, so she turned around and walked into the house.

"Chi Yue." Mu Chen stopped her, "Many things are not as ...... as you think"

Chi Yue turned sideways and said with a slight smile: "I didn't think much about it, Brother Mu, did you think too much?" ”

Mu Chen sighed, "What Master Zheng said to me was just polite words, do you really want to help me?" You're oversimplifying. ”

Chi Yue didn't want her mind to have been guessed by Mu Chen, and she blamed herself a little weakly in her heart.

Mu Chen was so kind to her, how could she speculate about him, thinking that he watched his suffering and stood by and watched?

He must have had his unspeakable suffering.

After pondering for a while, Chi Yue finally raised her head and said to Mu Chen, "Brother Mu, do you want to come in for a meal before leaving?" ”

Mu Chen saw that Chi Yue's attitude had changed in the end, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "No, I still have some affairs to deal with in the county seat, and I will visit another day." ”

Chi Yue sent Mu Chen away before going back to the courtyard.

When she returned to the yard, she heard two people arguing in the backyard, and she hurriedly walked over.

But in front of the cellar in the backyard, Qiao was carrying a bag of something, and wanted to take it away, but Zhou pulled her cuffs and didn't let her go.

Qiao's like a crazy tigress, yelling at Zhou's: "You conscienceless thing, I saw that you were still good before, and took the initiative to carry good things to my house to make amends to Xiuxiu, but now you are following that Chi Yue to learn badly, and she has also become slammed, not only did she not bring some good things over during the New Year, but she didn't even admit the mistakes you committed!" Hmph, if it's really the black who is close to ink, your family is not a good thing! ”

Zhou grabbed Qiao's coarse cloth sleeve, and rarely did not shed tears when he was bullied, but stared at Qiao's fiercely, and his tone became tougher than before, "Sister-in-law, I respect you as my eldest sister-in-law, and I tolerate you everywhere, but you don't want to bully me even more!" I have sent you enough things before, and now that Xiuxiu can walk on the ground, she thinks that she has been well raised, and the mother and son are safe and sound, so why do you come to ask us for so much food for nothing? In the next year, I will send it to the old house, not you white-eyed wolves who only care about my family's property! ”

Chi Yue was secretly frightened.

When had she ever seen Zhou say such harsh words? In the face of the door-to-door bulliers, she dared to resist, is this still the weak and bullying Zhou from before?

It seems that the Zhou family really fell miserably from the Zhou family, and since then they have woken up and know how to resist. It couldn't be better.

Chi Yue looked around, trying to find the whereabouts of the bronze. Only then did it suddenly occur to me that Bronze had been ruthlessly beaten by himself not long ago and sent back to the house.

Suddenly, she felt sad again. If there is bronze, would Qiao dare to come to the door to grab things so blatantly?

But when Qiao saw Zhou scolding her, she became more and more anxious, so she simply threw off the bag, rolled up her sleeves, and looked like she wanted to fight, "Okay, who are you scolding for being a white-eyed wolf?" It's true that my family Xiuxiu can go to the ground, but whether the child in the belly is intact or not is not necessarily! Seeing that she is about to give birth, shouldn't you send something over in the next year? Do you need me to come over and please myself? Hmph, you have to give these things if you don't give them today, I'm done! If you want to stop it, let's try it and see who the people in the village are helping out! ”

There were tears in the corners of Zhou's eyes, but he refused to slide the tears down. Seeing that Qiao Shi had lost the bag, he hurriedly went over and snatched the bag of out-of-season vegetables that Qiao Shi took out of the cellar by himself.

"Don't take it!" Qiao Shi pushed Zhou down with a sudden push, lifted the heavy bag again like a calf, and was about to turn around and leave with it in his arms.

Seeing Qiao's pushing down Zhou's, Chi Yue was furious, hurried over, tore open the bag in Qiao's arms, and slapped Qiao's hard by surprise, making Qiao's eyes look like gold stars, and for a while he couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south.
