Chapter 169: The head of the family has been decided
Qianxi made a silent gesture at her with her fingers, so Qu Youying immediately covered her mouth, although she had thousands of doubts in her heart, she also knew that she couldn't rush for a while, at least she would not know until the matter over there was over.
Dusk fell, night fell, and after the two waited in the house for a long time, Mu Jingzhu finally returned.
Qu Youying immediately greeted him, and regardless of whether there would be anyone watching around, she approached him and asked, "Who is the head of the family?" ”
She watched the first half of the show, and in the second half, although she didn't see it, she could guess one or two when she thought about it, so after she asked, she immediately said, "Is it Shui Linze?" ”
Mu Jingzhu was not surprised to hear this answer from her mouth, but a slight smile was slightly covered in her eyes, out of appreciation.
He reached out and touched her head, and asked with a hint of pampering, "How did you guess?" ”
"Based on Shui Wuze's performance today, if the old lady would still choose him, it would be purely partial. So the rest is only Shui Linze's greatest hope. But the water pupil is also there. Originally, I was still speculating about what kind of chess the old lady made this move, until Qianxi told me where the master was, I thought about it carefully before and after, and I ruled out Shui Hitomi, because if he wants to become the head of the family, there is no need to be in a position of 'more things are better than less'. Therefore, this head of the family can only be Shui Linze. ”
When she mentioned Master, the black in Mu Jingzhu's eyes slowly condensed, but her face was still calm.
Later, she was so convinced that it was Shui Linze, so she spoke, "What if it's no one?" ”
"Impossible." Qu Youying shook her head and said resolutely, "The old lady is old, even if the Shangshu Gujuan still hasn't elected the head of the family, she will let the Shangshu Gujuan elect a family master, otherwise, as she said, after her death, the Shui family's century-old foundation will be ruined." ”
Therefore, there is not much importance to the authenticity of the ancient scroll, what matters is who can get into the eyes of the old lady.
The water mist seems to be calm, but in fact it is impetuous, and it will do whatever it takes to achieve its goals.
Shui Tongze doesn't ask about the world, if he really has the heart to fight, he won't stay out of it.
Although Shui Linze seems to be improper, he is thoughtful and takes every step of the way, although he is a terrible opponent, but he is a necessary existence for Shui Fu.
Therefore, among the three, only he is the most suitable.
"Indeed." Mu Jingzhu nodded, and his five fingers slowly hooked Qu Youying's small hand and held it in his palm, "Today, it is indeed the old lady who single-handedly elected the head of the Shuifu family. ”
Qu Youying was taken aback, subconsciously looked around, and only after confirming that there were no outsiders did she lower her voice and ask, "So that Shangshu scroll is fake?" ”
Mu Jingzhu continued to nod.
Qu Youying was not calm anymore, she stopped, turned sideways, blocked half of Mu Jingzhu's body, tilted her head, frowned, and said while thinking, "If it's really fake, then where is the real one?" Was it stolen early in the morning, or was it really taken by King Yi? ”
Because Qianxi told him that the King Yi who appeared today was pretended to be Xi Fengyi.
Thinking about Yiwang's performance today, although the momentum is still there, it is indeed too silent, so Qu Youying believes it.
"Yes." Mu Jingzhu looked down at her, although the darkness in his eyes was thick, it did not contain the slightest falsehood, "Jiang Tong knows about this." ”
"He knows?" Qu Youying was even more surprised.
"Actually, today's events were originally arranged by us."
"Ahh Qu Youying's mouth couldn't close in surprise at this time, "This, what the hell is going on!" ”
She was confused.
Seeing her like that, Mu Jingzhu smiled, stretched out his hand and flicked her eyebrows, "Haven't you always prided yourself to be very smart?" Why can't you guess this time? ”
Seeing her teasing her like this, Qu Youying was unhappy, pouted, held his arm with both hands and began to be coquettish, "Good Jingzhu, just tell me, okay?" I promise I will keep my mouth shut, and I won't say anything if it's rotten in my stomach. ”
Mu Jingzhu raised her eyebrows, making it clear that she didn't believe her words.
Qu Youying continued to be coquettish and cute, and finally saw that no one was around, so she stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek, and said with a slightly red face, "Can you tell me now?" ”
Mu Jingzhu's eyes sank, lifted her chin with one hand, approached slightly, and the warm breath spread on her face, with the breath of his body, itchy.
Qu Youying reached out to scratch it, but he held his hand.
"Serve me well tonight, and I'll tell you."
Such an ambiguous invitation made Qu Youying's face swoop to the bottom, her eyes wandered, she raised her hand and slapped him, twisted and said, "Shameless, we haven't married yet, no." ”
"What can't be?"
Mu Jingzhu got closer and closer to her, and as long as Qu Youying raised his head, he would touch his lips.
"That's it, that's it!"
Thinking of the first night between them, Qu Youying was shy, but that feeling made her heart beat like thunder, and she liked it very much.
"When I say serving, I am serving me tea and water, pinching my shoulders and beating my legs." Mu Jingzhu couldn't help but smile and said deliberately, "Are you trying to be crooked?" ”
Qu Youying knew that he was playing with her, raised her head angrily, waved her hand and punched her, but he held it tightly in his hand, put it on his lips and kissed it, and the rogue look on his face was as arrogant as before.
"Mu Jing Candle, you bastard! You wait for me! Hum! ”
Qu Youying forcefully pulled her hand out of his palm, turned around and ran into the room.
When the thousand rhinos inside saw her come in with a blushing face, she knew that something was wrong, and there was envy and sadness in her eyes.
"He's teasing you again?"
"Humph!" Qu Youying turned her head, and just as she was about to speak, the sound of Mu Jingzhu came from outside.
"Lord Wang, Fourth Prince."
She was stunned, she didn't expect Jiang Tong and Shui Linze to come over at this time, so she swallowed the words in her stomach and walked to the door again.
Outside the door, Jiang Tong and Shui Linze stood in front of Mu Jingzhu, and when they saw her appear, Jiang Tong smiled slightly, and deliberately called affectionately in front of Mu Jingzhu, "Xiaoying." ”
Qu Youying grinned and gave him a smirk and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"Xiaoying, it's really hurtful for you to be like this! The attitude of Hejing Candle and this king is completely different. ”
"Yes and what!" Qu Youying deliberately stepped forward, grabbed Mu Jingzhu's arm affectionately, and raised her chin at him, "I'm willing." ”
"Don't be rude." Although Mu Jingzhu said this about her, his tone was not a little blameful.
Instead, Shui Linze glanced at the three of them, and suddenly interrupted, "Grandma ordered me to convey to you, tomorrow night, Shuifu will hold a dinner, and I hope everyone will enjoy their faces at that time." Now, I still have something to do, one step ahead. ”
"Are you going to find Qu Qiluo?"
This matter is a task given to him by the old lady, if no one finds it, Aunt Sun will probably not stop.
Shui Linze nodded and said, "Yes!" Your second mother is making a fuss, but it's not over, just one afternoon, and there have been several waves of trouble. If it's late today, I'll have to take someone to see it. ”
Mu Jingzhu listened, "I'll go with you." ”
"I'll go too."
Qu Youying always felt that Qu Qiluo's robbery was no accident, so she wanted to go and see it together.
But Mu Jingzhu disagreed.
"You stay." He didn't say much, just glanced at the open door behind him.
Qu Youying knew that he wanted him to stay with Qianxi, after all, the reappearance of the identity of "Shui Junyu" might break some of the balance, so it was likely that the people hidden behind the scenes would make another move.
"Okay!" Qu Youying was very reluctant, "You come back early, pay attention to safety on the road." ”
"Hmm."
Mu Jingzhu patted her head and left with Shui Linze.
Qu Youying watched them leave, and planned to ask someone to get some food to bring to the room for her and Qianxi to eat, but when she turned around, she saw that Jiang Tong was still there and did not leave.
"What else is the prince doing here?"
"Naturally, I want to talk to you-" Jiang Tong suddenly approached Qu Youying's side quickly, she instinctively wanted to retreat, but he grabbed her waist with one hand, "What are you running?" ”
"Men and women don't kiss, you let me go."
"Then when you kissed Mu Jingzhu, you gave it a kiss?"
"You!" Qu Youying was annoyed and struggled to ask, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Do what?" Jiang Tong smiled, smiling harmlessly, he said, "Naturally, I want to talk to you about your master pretending to be my fifth brother." ”
Qu Youying was stunned for a moment, and then snorted, "Without your consent, would my master dare?" The prince didn't debunk it beforehand, and later threatened me, an uninformed person, and he didn't have the demeanor of the prince at all. If you have the ability, go to my master! ”
She was not threatened by him at all, because she knew that if Jiang Tong really wanted to settle accounts with the Autumn Queen, he would not just look for her.
"Can't you just stroke my hair? If you have to pierce it like this, it's so boring. ”
Jiang Tong muttered, but still let go of her, straightened her slightly wrinkled clothes, took out a fan from his arms, and said, "The ancient scroll was really taken away by my fifth brother." ”
As soon as Qu Youying was let go by him, he retreated far away, and when he heard him say this, he unconsciously leaned in.
"Is this true?"
"It can't be fake."
Jiang Tong shook his fan and stood under the night, only the light of the lantern shone on his face, shining into the eyes that were always smiling.
"Because if Shuifu wants to survive, it must pretend not to know."
Qu Youying frowned, but she already understood in her heart.
Because there is no evidence to prove that King Yi took the ancient scrolls, if Shuifu investigates it, then it will inevitably be bitten back by King Yi, and with the power of King Yi, Shuifu can't fight.
But if it is not investigated, it will be known to outsiders that the ancient scroll is lost, which is also a big loss for Shuifu, in case this matter reaches the emperor's mouth, the emperor is angry and asks for accountability, and Shuifu will become a thorn in the side of King Yi.
So no matter which one it is, even if Shuifu knows the truth, it can't be upheld.
"What then? You can't just eat this dumb loss, right? ”
After hearing the silence, the person replied like this, and a smile suddenly appeared on Jiang Yun's dark face.
