Chapter 1: First Encounter.

Next Chapter

April is the season of light rain. In a few days, it will be Qingming, and the whole Mu Mansion is busy preparing for the ancestors.

In the Chuzhi Pavilion, a girl was slowly walking out of the door, and the light cyan gauze skirt looked particularly fresh and moving. Looking at the drizzle outside the eaves, Mu Chuning couldn't help but reach out and feel the delicate touch of the drizzle falling into her palm, her apricot eyes stared straight at the drizzle, and she couldn't help but be detracted.

Just when Mu Chuning's thoughts were just out of her mind, someone suddenly pulled her hand back, and the voice of her personal maid Xizhu sounded in her ears.

"Miss, how can you reach out to catch such a cold rain, what if you get cold." Xi Zhu said as he used a handkerchief to carefully wipe Mu Chuning's hands that were wet from the rain just now.

Seeing that Xizhu's nervous little face was wrinkled, Mu Chuning's heart suddenly felt a warmth, and she smiled: "It's not in the way, just this rain, how can my body be so weak." ”

"Miss, you forgot that you contracted the wind cold a few days ago because of some rain, and now it's hard to get better......" Xi Zhu's chatter Mu Chuning has long been used to it, so she just let her say it, and her eyes moved to the side again.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of landing outside the courtyard, which attracted the attention of the master and servant.

Mu Chuning was slightly stunned, someone? Xizhu on the side looked at Mu Chuning with some fear, "Miss, what was that sound just now?" "Let's go, let's see." After Mu Chuning finished speaking, she raised her feet and walked in the direction of the sound source, and the Xizhu beside her didn't care about her own fears and followed her young lady's steps.

The sound came from the corner outside the courtyard, but when Mu Chuning walked somewhere, he didn't find anything.

"Strange, how could it be ......" Mu Chuning looked around outside her courtyard and didn't see anyone.

"Miss, maybe the wild cat accidentally fell and ran away" Xizhu looked at his young lady and looked around but couldn't find a reason, and couldn't help but say his guess.

Seeing that Mu Chuning, who couldn't find anything, heard about it, he had no choice but to give up. "Perhaps."

"Sister!" Mu Chuning, who was about to walk into the courtyard, stopped when she heard the sound, and turned her head to see a girl wearing a pale yellow wide-sleeved dress not far away. has the same apricot eyes and willow eyebrows as Mu Chuning, and combs a double screw bun with ribbons on her head, which is Mu Chumeng's three-year-old sister, Mu Chumeng.

"Lemon?" Mu Chuning was a little puzzled, wasn't Mu Chumeng supposed to be in dance class at this time, how could she appear here? My sister, who usually goes to class on time, why does this anomaly appear today?

Mu Chumeng leaned over, and after seeing that there was no one around, she quickly ran to Mu Chuning's side. "Sister, let's go into the house and talk!" After speaking, he pulled Mu Chuning and ran into the room. Mu Chumeng was also at a loss and was pulled back into the boudoir by Mu Chumeng, and after Xizhu closed the door, Mu Chumeng let out a long sigh.

Mu Chuning slowly poured a cup of tea for her sister and motioned for her to drink it, and after talking slowly, she also poured herself a cup.

"Tell me, why skipped class." Mu Chuning finished asking straight to the point, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"I don't like dancing, I really don't." Mu Chumeng said with a small pout. "But you don't usually ...... on time in class" "That's just for Daddy" Mu Chumeng's words made Mu Chuning unable to answer. Indeed, letting Mu Chumeng learn to dance is the meaning of Mu Chengtian, the master of the Mu family, and the reason is that he feels that girls will be of great use in the future if they learn one more skill.

Speaking of the Mu family, I have to say that Mu Chengtian, the master of the Mu family, has no children under his knees, but he has two beautiful daughters. Other people's families are polygamous, but this old man Mu has only one wife, so he loves these two daughters very much.

So like other young ladies who want to compete for favor with their half-siblings, Mu Chuning and Mu Chumeng never have to think about it. But Mu Chengtian is very strict with the knowledge and skills of the sisters, he thinks that women should study more, and they must have a skill in terms of skills no matter what. Mu Chumeng was naturally active, so she learned to dance, and Mu Chuning was more determined, so Mu Chuning's specialty was painting.

Thinking of this, Mu Chuning felt that her father did this for their good, otherwise she would be ridiculed by others when she went out in the future.

"Meng'er, you may be tired, take a rest at my sister's place first, and I'll ask Xizhu to prepare some snacks for you." After Mu Chuning finished speaking, he instructed Xizhu to prepare snacks. "It's still my sister who is the best for me." Mu Chumeng shook Mu Chuning's arm and said coquettishly.

"Okay, you write first, my sister will go to the study next door to read for a while, and then I'll call you when it's time for dinner?" Mu Chuning got up as she spoke, it was useless to reason with Mu Chumeng first, and it was not too late to talk about it next time her mood stabilized, this sister could still listen to what she said.

"Good!" Mu Chumeng naturally nodded and agreed, she skipped class and stayed first, so my sister could stay.

Mu Chuning, who walked out of his room, slowly walked towards the study, thinking that he hadn't read most of the books he read yesterday, so he sat down for a while and continued to read.

Walking to the door of the study, the slender jade hand had just touched the door when she heard a sudden small noise inside, and then it was quiet again. His fingers were still in the action of opening the door, and Mu Chuning felt a little flustered in his heart, difficult

Is the Tao a thief in the house? Thinking of the noise outside the courtyard just now, didn't that guy enter the study? The thought in her heart made Mu Chuning's curiosity greater than her fear, and she had the courage to open the door.

As soon as I pushed the door open, it was empty again. But intuition told Mu Chuning that there must be someone in his study. I closed the door and walked into the room step by step, and suddenly I heard a heavy breathing sound in my ears, it was the bookcase! Mu Chuning thought to herself, and quickly walked to the location of the bookcase.

Sure enough, a man leaned against him in the corner of the bookcase. I saw that the man was dressed in black, and even his face was covered with a black cloth, but he was also a thin and tall person. Mu Chuning saw that the man had his eyes closed, his eyebrows were tightly knit, and his expression was very painful, and even Mu Chuning had no intention of standing up when he came over. "Who are you?" Mu Chuning asked vigilantly.

Half-ringing...... The man didn't mean to answer, and just when Mu Chuning was about to wait impatiently and was about to ask a second time, the black-clothed man spoke, "Do you have any medicine to relieve pain?" ”

It seems that he didn't mean to answer himself, Mu Chuning thought to himself, but seeing that this person was very painful, he couldn't ask anything for a while, so Mu Chuning had to give up for the time being.

"Yes, you wait." After speaking, he quickly walked to the dark compartment of the bookcase and took out a box, which contained all kinds of medicines secretly collected by Mu Chuning. After taking out the medicine you need, you can quickly put the box back in its original place, and ordinary people can't see the dead end.

He took out the medicine and put one in the hand of the man in black. The man raised his hand and took off the face towel, revealing his original appearance, with a high nose bridge and thick eyebrows and sharp eyes, so a pair of delicate facial features.

After taking the medicine, the man's pain was significantly relieved, and then Mo Huai began to look at the woman in front of him, just now because of the pain, he didn't have the heart to speak. The girl in front of her wearing a light cyan gauze skirt, her long black hair was only decorated with a cloud hairpin, her eyebrows were green, and her almond eyes were looking at her with doubt.

"You can always tell me who you are now, right?" Seeing that the man was silent, just staring straight at himself, Mu Chuning had no choice but to ask again.

Just as Mo Huai was about to open his mouth, Xizhu's voice sounded outside the door: "Miss, the slave maid brought you some snacks and tea, can you come in now?" "Fortunately, I usually have taught Xizhu that if you want to enter, you must ask her and get permission to come in, otherwise Xizhu would have broken into the door at this time.

Xizhu's voice made the two of them flutter at the same time, this person naturally can't let Xizhu see it, but where should he hide? Mo Huai on the other side was not panicked, he just wanted to see how this little girl could solve this matter.

"Miss?" Xizhu outside the door saw that his young lady didn't make a sound, and shouted again with some worry. Mu Chuning was thinking about how to talk to Xizhu about this for a while, when she heard Xizhu call herself for the second time. In a hurry, I immediately thought of the dark compartment of the study, which should be avoided behind the bookcase.

Thinking about it, he pulled up Mo Huai, who was sitting on the ground, pushed him to the corner behind the bookcase, and instructed, "Don't make a sound." After receiving Mo Huai's nod in agreement, he walked to the desk and sat down, and shouted to Xizhu to come in towards the door.
