"Third brother?" Huaxi squinted her eyes and saw the person coming clearly, and couldn't help but scream.

Mu Xiuyuan hurriedly apologized and said, "Don't be surprised if you abruptly sister." ”

The red willow has come up from behind.

Through the light of the fire in the lantern, Huaxi saw that Mu Xiuyuan's clothes were a little messy, and the spots on his hair seemed to be glued to osmanthus flowers.

Not even a single maid followed, did she climb a tree or a wall......

Thinking of his appearance just now, Huaxi's expression suddenly became a little strange.

Mu Xiuyuan noticed Huaxi's strange appearance, frowned, couldn't help but look down at himself, suddenly understood, and pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, "There are a lot of noisy people, come out to hide and enjoy the flowers." How did my sister come here? ”

"I ate too much in the evening, and I had some food accumulation, so I went out for a walk. I'm tired of walking at this time, and I'm about to go back to Qixia Garden, so I won't disturb the third brother's Yaxing. ”

Huaxi is blessed with a blessed body, and he wants to go.

"Sister, go from this side, I'll drop you off by the way." Mu Xiuyuan stopped Huaxi and pointed in the opposite direction.

Huaxi glanced at him twice, and then looked at the road ahead. Along the trail, further past the laurel forest is the three-room Wuju, and further west past the back garden is the Qixia Garden. And to retreat, the detour to the Willow Forest Trail and the Water Pavilion can also return to Qixia Garden, but the latter is farther away.

Huaxi looked puzzled, but finally nodded.

Mu Xiuyuan breathed a long sigh of relief, patted his hair indiscriminately, tidied up his clothes, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, "Sister go first." ”

Occasionally, a cloud drifted through the sky, the moon appeared and disappeared, and the stones on the silent path shimmered with a silver glow.

In the cold, a little bean lamp, emitting a soft light.

Mu Xiuyuan followed the back of the faint halo in front of him, so close but seemed to be very far away. The vague orange fragrance that once attracted him seemed to escape with the soft point of light, like a cup of fragrant tea in Xiao Suo's hand in the autumn night, and the wisps of moisture turned into a little warm warmth.

It feels a little weird. A moment of impulse slowed his pace.

"Third Master?" Hongliu walked in front with a lantern sideways, and when he saw Mu Xiuyuan stop in place, he called softly.

Hua Xi glanced back inexplicably.

Mu Xiuyuan met her floating gaze, turned his face away in embarrassment, and sighed, "It's okay, this road is a little clumsy." But it's okay, I'm rough and thick, keep walking! "Half of my face was already red, but fortunately the night was dark and unnoticed.

Huaxi's eyes also fell on his feet, revealing a section of the black-faced soft-soled cloth shoes that he usually wears at home, this kind of lightweight slippers are mostly used in the house, and it is uncomfortable to walk on this stone road for a long time. He also said that "the skin is rough and the flesh is thick".

Why bother to detour, obviously the other end is all bluestone paved roads, unlike the flower paths here are mostly paved with cobblestones. Huaxi became more and more puzzled, what did Mu Xiuyuan want to hide?

Chongkou wanted to say, "The road is not far, there is no need to send it", but after thinking about it, it was dark, and he had no lighting alone, Huaxi swallowed the words back, and turned back to signal Hongliu to continue walking.

After returning to Qixia Garden without saying anything all the way, Huaxi instructed Hongliu to send Mu Xiuyuan back.

Mu Xiuyuan wanted to refuse politely, but Huaxi said: "The night road is dark, the third brother is kind enough to send me back, it's not good to bump into it when I go back, then Huaxi can't help it, let Hongliu give the third brother a ride." ”

Seeing this, Mu Xiu said goodbye to Huaxi and asked Hongliu to send him back to his yard.

On the morning of the sixteenth morning, the old lady asked the eldest lady Yin and the eldest grandmother Zhao to go to the Xiao family to congratulate the Xiao family on behalf of Mufu.

Huaxi got up and went to the incense room to make incense medicine for Mu Xiuyuan.

Lilac came back from outside with a basket of wood rhinoceros.

"Girl, I just went to find my mother in charge to pick flowers, and I heard them talking about what happened to Guishulinzi last night."

"What's going on?" Huaxi was stunned, and then pounded the medicine pestle, and her heart couldn't help but hang, remembering Mu Xiuyuan's embarrassed appearance.

"I heard it secretly, they said that Jinxiu met the third master in the osmanthus forest last night, and was later arrested by Aunt Liu, saying that she seduced the third master. The third lady locked up Jinxiu for one night, and wanted to suppress this matter and solve it behind her back, but somehow she was stabbed by Aunt Liu to the old lady. Nowadays, everyone in the yard knows about it. Lilac lowered her voice, but Huaxi could hear a little schadenfreude in her words.

Lilac almost suffered in the hands of Wu Ming several times, and she still hated it in her heart at this time, wishing that she was unlucky.

But Huaxi thought that Mu Xiuyuan stopped him last night because he was afraid that he would get into trouble, so what about himself? Will it be affected by this? Did anyone else see them in the grove?

"But it's already disposed of?" Huaxi asked.

Lilac shook her head, "Not yet." ”

Huaxi frowned slightly, handed over the stone mortar and medicine pestle in her hand to Lilac to let her study medicine, went back to the main house, and called Hongliu to tell Lilac what she had heard.

After all, Hongliu has been in the mansion for many years, and when she heard it, she knew the clue, and replied: "The slave will go to Mother Wang to ask." ”

"Don't go to Mother Wang, ask the girl in the old lady's courtyard or the third room."

The red willow went out in response and came back in about half an hour.

Thinking that she was in a hurry, Hongliu's forehead was covered with fine sweat, Huaxi handed her a handkerchief, Hongliu took it and wiped it casually, and said a little breathlessly: "The third lady went to the banquet, Jinxiu stayed in the house, and then the ladies wanted to touch the cards, and the third lady didn't bring enough silver, so let Qiao'er go back and get it." Aunt Liu said that she was not feeling well, and she retired early, followed Qiao'er all the way back, and when she passed by the osmanthus forest, she saw the third master and Jinxiu hugging each other...... At that time, Qiao'er and Aunt Liu saw it and alarmed the mother-in-law who was patrolling the night. I inquired clearly, and no one else saw it. Want to come to the third ...... It's okay. ”

Huaxi's heart fell to the ground, and he asked again: "How to deal with it?" ”

Hongliu's face was a little weird, and he shook his head, "I don't know." That Jinxiu shouted injustice in the hall, saying that the third master promised that she would help her father bring back the stewardship and let her brother go back to Mu's house on an errand, so she ...... And said, and said......"

Hongliu hesitated for a moment, and a few words popped out of her mouth, "Jinxiu said she has a body......"

Huaxi was also shocked, this incident was really not at the right time. Mu Jiren has an official position, and he is not allowed to have children during the Ding Worry period. Originally, part of the reason for the death of the old marquis was that Mu Jiren was angry, and within three months, Mu Jizhong had just accepted the title, how could he make such an ugly thing at home. It is impossible for a splendid child to be born.

Huaxi raised her eyes and saw Hongliu standing there in a daze a little dazed, and sighed lightly, "Being smart is being mistaken by being smart...... If she doesn't say it, she may still have her life, but now I really don't know if her life can be saved. ”

Hongliu looked at Huaxi, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she looked out the window calmly and didn't look at herself.

Suddenly, the clear and cold like a sweet spring came faintly, although it was too breathing, but Hongliu only felt a lightning strike on his heart, and he was speechless in a daze.

"It's a good thing to have a heart, but if you don't let go of the right path, you will end up hurting yourself. You must know that most of the people in this world whose hearts are higher than the sky have lives that are thinner than paper......"
