Chapter 15: The Outing (I)
Mu Chuning, who originally thought it was just a false alarm and relaxed his vigilance, instantly tensed up because of Yun Yiheng's voice.
When they came back, they obviously checked that Yun Yiheng should not have come back, why did they appear so suddenly now?
Could it be that he had come back before them and gone somewhere else, so that they did not notice when they returned? As soon as this idea came out, Mu Chuning couldn't help but feel a chill behind her.
If that's the case, then they're afraid they won't be able to keep their secrets......
And Mu Chumeng, who was so tired that she was lying on the table, was also frightened by the sound of Yun Yiheng asking the maid outside, and sat up in fright.
Mu Chumeng looked at Mu Chuning nervously, only to see Mu Chuning shaking her head at her.
"Hatsuning, can I come in?" Yun Yiheng called softly outside the door.
Because the door was closed when Mu Chuning and the others came in, so now they only saw Yun Yiheng's figure outside.
"Come in, cousin." Mu Chuning hurriedly responded.
After getting the answer, Yun Yiheng pushed the door in, and saw that there was not only Mu Chuning sitting next to Mu Chumeng in the room, but also Mu Chumeng beside him, and was stunned for a moment.
"Chu Meng is also there."
"Cousin......"
Mu Chumeng saw Yun Yiheng looking at him with some surprise, and smiled awkwardly.
"Cousin, did you just come back?"
"I've been back for a while."
Mu Chuning originally thought that Yun Yiheng should not come back first, but he still tried it just in case. I didn't expect Yun Yiheng to really come back, but why didn't I see him just now?
"Are you out in the afternoon?" Yun Yiheng asked.
Hearing this, Mu Chuning and Mu Chumeng instantly tensed their nerves and subconsciously glanced at each other.
It seems that they were still found out when they went out this time, but as for what they went out for, Yun Yiheng didn't know.
"Meng'er said that she wanted to add a few new clothes, and I thought that I would go out with her to visit the clothes shop when I had time in the afternoon."
"That's right, that's the clothes I just bought."
Mu Chuning said and motioned for Mu Chumeng to take the next word, Mu Chumeng was busy cooperating with Mu Chuning, the set of clothes on her body had just been made and had not been worn, Yun Yiheng had definitely not seen it.
Mu Chumeng said and stood up and showed off her clothes to show her authenticity.
The cooperation between the sisters is very tacit, so naturally Yun Yiheng can't see a flaw.
It's normal for a girl's family to love to dress up and want to buy some new clothes, so Yun Yiheng is not suspicious.
"This dress matches Chu Meng very well."
"Cousin Xie, appreciate."
Mu Chumeng, who got some kind words, happily saluted Yun Yiheng before sitting back on the chair.
Yun Yiheng nodded with a smile, remembering the purpose of his visit, and turned his gaze to Mu Chuning's side.
"Chu Ling is free tomorrow?"
"There should be, why did my cousin ask about this?"
In fact, I still have to go to Nanlin Pavilion with Mu Chumeng tomorrow, but because I want to keep it secret, I can't directly tell Yun Yiheng that they will go out tomorrow.
"Uncle said that I can rest at home for a day tomorrow, so I want to invite you to go to the countryside."
It has been several days since he came to Mufu, and as long as he came to Mufu, Yun Yiheng would take Mu Chuming out to have a good time, and of course, sometimes he would take Mu Chumeng with him.
But when I was a child, because Mu Chumeng was too young to go out without an adult, most of them were only Mu Chuning and Yun Yiheng.
It's a day to play, and it's rare to go out to places that you can't go to on weekdays. I usually go to Mochizuki Lake or Flower Forest in the suburbs, and every time I come back, I get into a mess.
Then there was a nagging in the face of the two mothers of the Yun family and Mrs. Yun, and they were pulled away by their respective mothers to clean up their bodies.
But at that time, I didn't feel wronged at all, but I was still very happy.
So this time, taking advantage of his free time, Yun Yiheng wanted to go out and relax like when he was a child.
But Mu Chuning is now different from when she was a child, when she was a child, she could play unscrupulously because she was young, but now that she has grown up, she can't be as indulgent as she was when she was a child.
There are many things that need to be done with caution, and you must always pay attention to your appearance and behavior, otherwise you will be gossiped about.
But it was not easy for Yun Yiheng to come for a long time, and Mu Chuning couldn't bear to refuse like this.
"If Chu Ning has something to do, we won't go."
Seeing that Mu Chuning didn't answer herself for a long time, Yun Yiheng thought that she didn't want to go because she had something unspeakable, and although she was a little disappointed, she could only pretend not to care.
"No, I don't have anything to do tomorrow, so let's go."
In the end, because I couldn't bear it, I agreed. Mu Chuning sighed quietly in her heart, it seems that she will not be able to go to Nanlin Pavilion tomorrow.
"Where are you going, can you take me with you?" Mu Chumeng asked curiously.
Sitting on the sidelines, he had been listening to Mu Chuning and Yun Yiheng discussing what to go to, and Mu Chumeng, who had always loved to play, suddenly became interested.
Yun Yiheng saw that Mu Chuning had agreed to travel, and he was in a good mood, and when he heard Mu Chumeng ask if he could bring her with him, he also readily agreed.
"Then the three of us will leave early tomorrow morning, and we won't worry my aunt if we go early and return early." Yun Yiheng smiled.
"Okay, I'll let Xizhu arrange tomorrow's carriage in a moment."
Mu Chuning nodded lightly, turned to look at Xizhu and motioned for her to get things done for a while, and Xizhu nodded knowingly.
Seeing that the matter was discussed, Yun Yiheng thought about going back to prepare the things he would use for tomorrow's trip, and left in a hurry without staying for long.
Mu Chuning and Mu Chumeng watched Yun Yiheng leave Chuzhi Pavilion with their own eyes, and only then did they loosen their tense nerves.
"Sister, do we need to tell Master Mo that we can't go tomorrow?"
"Even if I want to say this, I can't get out right now."
Mu Chumeng looked at Mu Chuning worriedly, and saw that Mu Chuning was also sitting on the chair with her eyes down, and the expression on her face was unpredictable.
Now is indeed not the time to go out, in a while Mu Chengtian and the Yun clan will be back, if they go out, they will definitely be arrested.
Therefore, now Mu Chuning really can't think of any way, and it would be rude not to tell him.
Suddenly, Mu Chuning had a plan, raised her head and looked straight at Xizhu, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly.
Xizhu, who was staring at him a little uncomfortably, looked at Mu Chuning suspiciously.
"Miss...... Tell me what you command. Xizhu couldn't help but speak.
"Xizhu, you go to Nanlin Pavilion to tell Mo Gongzi for us about what we can't go tomorrow."
"But what should I do if I want to be asked by the lord or the lady?"
"Let's just say I don't have enough paint, so you can buy some and come back."
As long as it is said that he wants to practice painting, Master Mu will definitely not say anything, but will be happy because of it.
"The slave will go now."
After getting Mu Chuning's nod in agreement, Xizhu walked out quickly.
"It's still my sister who has a way!" Mu Chumeng looked at Mu Chuning with admiration and said.
Mu Chuning didn't speak when she heard this, but just smiled slightly, picked up the teacup in front of her and drank the tea.
Because there is enough reason to be around, Xizhu did not be timid at all when he went out, and walked quickly and magnificently.
When I got to the door, I saw Mu Chengtian and Yun who had just come back. When asked about Xizhu, he learned that he was buying paint for Mu Chuning, his face was a little proud, and he didn't ask more, so he asked Xizhu to buy it quickly.
Feeling the south pavilion all the way trotting, Xizhu was a little gasping but didn't dare to delay the time, and after Chen Bo opened the door and asked Mo Huai that he was sitting in the pavilion now, he hurriedly walked in.
Mo Huai saw the bamboo walking quickly towards this side from a distance, and thought to himself, isn't this the maid of the first girl? Could it be that the girl dropped something to let Xizhu come and go? Mo Huai guessed in his heart.
"Young Master Mo, my young lady ordered me to come and tell you that she and the second miss can't come over because of something tomorrow." Xizhu tried to slow down, and bowed again before speaking.
"Because of what?"
"This ......"
Such a question made Xizhu a little embarrassed, and the young lady didn't tell her if she wanted to tell Mo Gongzi the reason together.
Seeing that Xi Zhu's face was embarrassed, Mo Huai was a little curious about Mu Chuning's reason for not coming over for some unshirkable reason.
However, Mo Huai saw that Xizhu had no meaning to say, so he was not embarrassed. Let the side Liyou send Xizhu away.
Walking out of the Nanlin Pavilion, Xizhu silently breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Mo Huai didn't ask any more, otherwise he really didn't know how to answer.
