"Cousin."

"Huh?"

"Didn't you say it's my cousin?" Xiao Xiantang pulled the corners of his mouth, as if he was joking with Mu Chonglan.

Mu Chonglan saw that the tails of his eyes were slightly red, obviously annoyed, and immediately confessed, and waved his hand again and again: "Don't be annoyed, don't be annoyed, I didn't say that it was your cousin, and you took advantage of it." ”

"......" Xiao Xiantang looked at Mu Chonglan, in his impression, although Mu Chonglan is a woman, she is a person who likes to compete for the top in everything, but since the two got married, Mu Chonglan seems to have changed her eyes, likes to pretend to be obedient, and has to admit him from time to time.

It's a pity that it takes brains to admit this kind of thing, and it is rare for her Mu Chonglan to admit that it seems to be provocative.

"Why do you say that?"

"What?" Mu Chonglan was confused, not knowing what he meant by saying this suddenly.

Xiao Xiantang opened his mouth again to explain: "Are you so anxious to clear up your relationship with me? ”

It turned out that he was asking why he was pretending to be his cousin.

Mu Chonglan looked at Xiao Xiantang, and when he saw him looking at himself so seriously, his heart couldn't help jumping, and his mushy brain was a little more dizzy. "Isn't that just a momentary ......?"

"If you are in a hurry, is the relationship between you and me so unbearable?" Xiao Xiantang looked at Mu Chonglan, and what came to mind was the situation when she wanted to reconcile with herself.

As soon as Mu Chonglan heard this, he knew that he was thinking about it again, and hurriedly explained: "No, I'm just afraid that Xu Gurong will misunderstand her." ”

"How do you know she's Xu Gurong?"

"I ......" Mu Chonglan choked, remembering that she had just met for the first time, Xu Gurong didn't seem to have reported her home, and she said her name directly, which was really a bit of a self-confession. Be...... Face...... Well, when I came here just now, someone told me that it might be someone from your courtyard. ”

originally wanted to rely on Yan Shoucai's head, but was worried that Xiao Xiantang would find Yan Shoucai to confront him, Mu Chonglan could only say that he was the next person he met on the road, thinking that even if he let himself be identified, he would say that he was too anxious, and he didn't look at what he looked like.

I'm really the smartest guy in the world.

Mu Chonglan was complacent, and even looked at Xiao Xiantang with a grin: "Speaking of which, that Xu Gurong is really good-looking and has a good temperament, which is really a good match." ”

After saying the word "good match", Mu Chonglan's heart was stabbed again for some reason, and the smile on his face froze.

When Xiao Xiantang heard Mu Chonglan's joyful praise of Xu Gurong, he raised his eyebrows: "I didn't know that you liked women." ”

"How much more do you know......" Mu Chonglan subconsciously replied, and only came back halfway back to his senses, and looked at Xiao Xiantang speechlessly.

Please, I'm helping him, why did it become that she likes Xu Gurong?

Xiao Xiantang saw that Mu Chonglan looked at him and didn't speak, his heart was a little more angry, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he sneered: "Her eyes are dull, her forehead is narrow and her cheeks are high, and she is afraid that Miss Xu is not ranked in most of these places, but she has a good background, and she has read a few more books than others, and others have seen her come out, so that she has the title of the first talented woman, as for her temperament, you dare to assert that she has a good temperament based on your Mu Chonglan's discerning eye?" ”

"......" Hearing Xiao Xiantang's sarcasm Xu Gurong and sarcastic himself, Mu Chonglan was angry, and said in his heart what he thought at the beginning, he actually felt that this guy who saved his life was a kind-hearted person, this is clearly a poisonous snake that spits out a letter and catches whoever bites whom.

Mu Chonglan sat there sullenly, Xiao Xiantang didn't know what she was thinking, but he could see that she was angry, and she lost her arrogance for a while.

After Yan Shoucai rushed to send Xu Gurong out in the name of Xiao Xiantang and the others, he hurried over again, wanting to ask Xiao Xiantang what he had done, so that Xu Gurong had such an attitude, he had clearly told Xiao Xiantang that this person was under the eaves and had to bow his head.

However, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw that the door was open, and when he got closer, he saw that the two little masters were sitting back to back like children.

"Young master, young lady." Yan Shoucai respectfully bowed, then straightened up and looked at Mu Chonglan.

That look in his eyes was clearly urging Mu Chonglan to leave, so that he could say 'whispers' to Xiao Xiantang.

Mu Chonglan naturally saw it, and she must have left with interest in the past, but today she didn't mean to leave at all, but instead sat down seriously, purely because she was not happy, and she also wanted to make these two enemies unhappy.

Yan Shoucai's eyes narrowed, and then looked at Xiao Xiantang, Xiao Xiantang glanced at Mu Chonglan, and said to him: "It's okay." ”

Hearing Xiao Xiantang say this, Yan Shoucai didn't delay any longer, and said bluntly: "Right Prime Minister Xu Rutong is a humble gentleman on the surface, but in fact, he will repay him, and the young master drove his concubine out this time to refute his face, and I am afraid that he will be suppressed and retaliated against in the future." ”

Mu Chonglan was speechless and looked at Xiao Xiantang.

The so-called right minister Xu Rutong's concubine refers to Xu Gurong, right? When did Xiao Xiantang kick Xu Gurong out? Why didn't you see it?

Xiao Xiantang didn't speak, pursed his lips and didn't know what he was thinking.

Yan Shoucai saw that he didn't speak, but he still continued: "Some people take the official road, and some people take the business road, but the officials and businessmen have not separated from each other since ancient times, and there are words that the people do not fight with the officials, if the Xiao family is the emperor and businessman, one more road is better than one more resistance, and the young master's move is really impulsive." ”

"Talk to him and see what I do?" Mu Chonglan was confused, she didn't know why Yan Shoucai was talking to Xiao Xiantang but looked at herself, as if Xiao Xiantang drove Xu Gurong away for her.

Yan Shoucai really no longer looked at Mu Chonglan, but looked at Xiao Xiantang and said, "Young Master may be able to make friends with Huo Zhaoming." ”

Mu Chonglan's eyes lit up when he heard this, Huo Zhaoming? Isn't this person the one who made Xiao Xiantang rise to the top?

looked at Xiao Xiantang, but saw that he frowned, obviously not very willing to climb the high branch of Huo Zhaoming, and his heart was anxious, so he hurriedly said: "I heard my father say that when Huo Zhaoming, the prime minister of the left dynasty, is open-minded by nature, although he is a reckless man, he is very important to today's saints, if you want to enter the official career, he is the guide, and at that time you will be on the rise and become a different ...... The big officials above 10,000 people under one person don't have to worry about who will embarrass the Xiao family. ”

Listening to Mu Chonglan's words, Xiao Xiantang said with a strange expression: "Since it is above 10,000 people, why not kill one more." ”

"Huh?" Mu Chonglan couldn't react for a while, and when she wanted to ask why again, Yan Shoucai interrupted her and said, "When the young master said this, he must have already known who the person who hurt you this time was." ”
