Chapter 23: Is It a Fever?
Tang Muen looked back and saw Mo Zhengning wearing an off-white long windbreaker, shoulder-length short hair walking with the wind, and the afterglow of the sunset reflected on her, she looked more and more chic and capable.
Tang Muen was silent, and just wanted to say hello, the old lady over there snorted and said unceremoniously: "Since you know that you are not here at the right time, then you can go back." ”
"......" Mo Zhengning was speechless, but she was not angry, she waved her hand and asked her subordinates to hand over the gifts she brought to the servants of the Zhuo family, she walked to the old lady with a smile, "It is said that old children and old children, I haven't seen you for a few years, grandma, you are living younger and younger." ”
Tang Muen knew that the old lady didn't like Mo Zhengning, the reason was very simple, Mo Zhengning was Gu Qianxi's best friend, and Gu Qianxi had caused Zhuo Xiaoxiao to fall into grief for seven years and couldn't extricate herself, so the old lady was angry with Mo Zhengning, seeing that the old lady was going back, Tang Muen greeted Mo Zhengning with the attitude of the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Zhuo family, "Why is Miss Mo Er free to come over today?" ”
"I just came back from abroad, and I heard that the old lady was sick, so I brought supplements to visit, and by the way, I thanked Ah Xiao for sacrificing her life that night." Mo Zhengning was generous in front of the old lady, and she didn't target Tang Muen in a weird way, she asked the old lady politely and caringly, "Is the old lady cured now?" ”
"Let you remember, my old woman won't be able to die for a while." The old lady had a cold face, then frowned and said to Zhuo Zhuoxiao with a serious expression: "I also know what happened that night. In the past, I won't bother with you, but you left the procuratorate seven years ago, and now you are the president of Zhuo's family, and it is the police's business to catch the murderer. In the future, no matter who asks you for help, you can't interfere again, otherwise the outside world will know about it, and you will definitely fall into the hands of others. ”
Zhuo Zhuoxiao didn't answer, kept the posture of holding Tang Muen in his chest and didn't move, his eyes fell on the pond, Tang Muen pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking.
The old lady put down the fishing rod, she was not in the mood to fish, she got up and looked at Mo Zhengning on crutches, domineering and not angry, "I also hope that Miss Mo Er will not let my grandson risk his life in the future, after all, he is only your former boss, and the woman who can let him sacrifice his life to save him can only be Mu En." Miss Mo Er is a lady who understands the truth, so let's keep a distance from Ah Xiao in the future. ”
So she came here on purpose today, is she humiliating herself? Mo Zhengning narrowed her eyes, she came to find out, she really didn't expect that even the old lady would spoil Tang Muen so much, could it be that Gu Qianxi had already turned the page in the Zhuo family? There is also the young grandmother who was killed bizarrely in the first three times, the old lady enjoys the filial piety of the fourth granddaughter-in-law so calmly, and the people of the Zhuo family are really more affectionate than the other.
Mo Zhengning's hand hanging from his cuff was clenched into a fist, and he responded to the old lady casually, "I know." ”
The old lady glanced at Mo Zhengning with a complicated expression, and didn't say anything more, asking Zhuo Zhuoxiao and Tang Muen not to fish, the person who came was a guest, and it seemed that she was too small to drive Mo Zhengning away, so she asked Steward Zhuo to order the kitchen to prepare dinner, and several people walked to the restaurant in the main courtyard together.
During the banquet, the old lady opened a bottle of red wine and personally served it to Zhuo Zhuoxiao and Tang Muen, and the two did not doubt him, and raised their glasses to touch Mo Zhengling.
And Mo Zhengning carefully caught the tightness in the old lady's eyes, she frowned and moved, looked at the red wine of Zhuo Zhuoxiao and Tang Muen, and a meaningful smile gradually appeared in her eyes, "Hey, wait a minute." ”
She stopped Tang Muen, but she didn't see the old lady's warning eyes, and kindly reminded Tang Muen, "En'en, you have a bad heart, you can't drink." There are no outsiders tonight, so you can replace the bar with tea. ”
"Okay." Tang Muen smiled, put down the teacup and let Steward Zhuo pour a cup of tea.
"Look at this noisy look, I don't know when it will be Miss Mo's turn to call the shots in our Zhuo family." The old lady's temper came up, she dropped her chopsticks and looked at Mo Zhengning with a gloomy face and said: "It is said that you and Gu Qianxi were sisters back then, because of her death, you didn't even want to come back to the sad place of the capital, and you went abroad to stay for seven years. Why, now that she has the idea of being the fifth young grandmother of the Zhuo family? ”
Zhuo Zhuoxiao also put down the wine glass, Mo Zhengning saw that the man's face was getting more and more ugly, she raised her eyebrows, smiled lightly and sneered back at the old lady, "Is the old lady cursing your fourth granddaughter-in-law by saying this?" As for whether I have the intention of being your granddaughter-in-law, don't you know? ”
"Mo Zhengning, you ......!" The old lady slapped the table in annoyance, her dry lips trembled, and she stared at Mo Zhengning for a long time and couldn't answer, okay, really good! Mo Zhengning is worthy of being a feared female prosecutor of the murderer, this is not in the courtroom, she can poke her sore spot with ease, you must know that when Zhuo Zhuo Xiao was young, she intended to marry the Mo family, and the Mo family agreed, but she was opposed and rejected by the party Mo Zhengning, and it was from then that the old lady learned that Zhuo Zhuo Xiao was in love with Mo Zhengning's good sister Gu Qianxi.
At this moment, Mo Zhengning clearly told her that no matter whether there is such a person as Gu Qianxi or not, she is not uncommon to be the young grandmother of the Zhuo family, how arrogant! The old lady had lived for such a long time, and no one dared to contradict her like this, she felt that her authority had been challenged, and she was very shameless in front of her juniors, and she was about to attack with her crutches on the floor.
Outstanding Xiaojun's face was cold, and he twisted his slender eyebrows and said impatiently: "Okay, grandma, Qianxi has been dead for seven years, why are you still angry?" Zheng Ning is not wrong, I am the one who likes Qianxi, if you want to blame me. She's my friend, and you've been angry with your granddaughter-in-law, and if you target her like this, you're hating Mu Enla. ”
"Ah Xiao, I ......" The old lady was like a balloon that suddenly deflated, and she lost her arrogance in an instant, and Zhuo Xiao accused her in front of her juniors regardless of proportion, which shows that she really can't bear it anymore.
The old lady was angry with her face, and she didn't say anything more, but no matter what, she just didn't like Mo Zhengning, and she couldn't get used to Mo Zhengning's style of being high in the eyes of no one, and besides, she read countless people like her, but she couldn't see through Mo Zhengning's thoughts, but she always felt that Mo Zhengning's motives were not pure, and she didn't know why Zhuo Zhuoxiao liked to associate with Mo Zhengning, could it be because she was thinking about the love of the dead Gu Qianxi?
"Grandma, this is the fish you caught yourself, come and taste the taste of the fish raised in our own pond." Tang Muen saw the servant bring the fish soup, and hurriedly served a bowl to the old lady himself, trying to break the deadlock, and sighed in his heart.
It was right for the old lady to teach Mo Zhengning a lesson for her decision, she was naturally oriented towards the old lady, but the old lady was so targeted at Mo Zhengning at the dinner table, it was too ungraceful to be a grandmother.
The old lady went down the steps, praised after taking a sip of fish soup, and instructed the maid to also serve a bowl to Zhuo Zhuoxiao and Tang Muen, and her attitude towards Mo Zhengling was still cold, but she didn't say anything after all.
The meal ended in a few people's cups and lamps, Tang Muen never drank the glass of red wine, and the old lady squinted at her with an unfathomable expression.
It was drizzling outside, and after the dinner was over, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the flowers and plants in the house were withering, and the servants were all busy running out to protect the strange flowers and plants, and a few people were sitting in the living room eating fruits.
Mo Zhengrong glanced at the pouring rain outside the glass window, frowned, took out her mobile phone and called Mo Zhengrong again, but Mo Zhengrong had affairs to deal with in the army, and she couldn't pick her up for a while, so she asked her to drive back by herself or the Zhuo family arranged for a driver to send her.
"It's raining so hard, it's dangerous to drive back, it's better to let the maid pack up a guest room and come out, Ah Ning, you can live here tonight." Tang Muen suggested after Mo Zhengning hung up the phone.
Mo Zhengning flipped the weather forecast on her phone, this rain may last all night, she nodded and didn't refuse, "Okay, I'm sorry for you." ”
Tang Muen instructed the servant to go to the third floor to set up the bedroom, and then the old lady got up on crutches and said, "I won't go back to the front yard tonight, so I'll live on the third floor with Miss Mo Er." When I'm older, I won't stay up late with you young people, so I'll go upstairs to rest first. ”
Tang Muen got up to send the old lady away, the old lady waved her hand, glanced at Mo Zhengning, and asked with a cold and meaningful look in her eyes: "Miss Mo Er should have a lot of things to do tomorrow, right?" Rest early, too. If you don't mind, how about Miss Lao Jiamo give me this old woman a ride? ”
"What the old lady said, this is what I should do as a junior." Mo Zhengning got up and helped the old lady to go upstairs with a smile, her demeanor was noble and calm, she didn't seem to care about the quarrel at the dinner table at all, and when she left, she caught a glimpse of Zhuo Zhuoxiao and Tang Muen sitting together in the living room, and a smile appeared on Mo Zhengning's lips.
The old lady asked the servants to step down, and the figures of her and Mo Zhengning disappeared around the corner of the stairs, and the living room was quiet, Tang Muen lowered his head and peeled the orange for Zhuo Zhuoxiao with his slender white fingers.
Zhuo Xiao's gaze locked on her motionlessly, and when she handed over the orange, Zhuo Xiaoxiao shook her head and reached out to pull her shirt and tie, "If you don't eat it, you already feel a little dry." ”
"What's wrong?" Tang Muen saw that Yu Xiao's face was flushed abnormally, and hurriedly put down the orange and raised his hand to touch his forehead, it was hot and hot, shouldn't it be burning again?
Tang Muen panicked once he encountered something about Zhuo Zhuoxiao, and turned his head to ask the maid to bring a thermometer and antipyretics.
But who knew that Yu Xiao suddenly grabbed her wrist, the man's deep eyes under the light were blurred, and his voice was hoarse to the extreme, "Don't go." ”
Tang Muen's movements froze, thinking that Zhuo Xiaoxiao was in a daze and wanted to call Gu Qianxi again, but as a result, Zhuo Xiao's subordinates suddenly pulled her into his chest, tightened his arms and hugged her, lowered his head and buried his head in her neck, and the man took a deep breath.
The fragrant breath on Tang Muen's body poured into the tip of his nose, and he closed his long eyes comfortably, and said vaguely as if he was a little unconscious: "I'm hot." Your physique is colder than ordinary people, it's comfortable to hold, let me hug it, Mu En. ”
Hearing this, Tang Muen's eyebrows stretched, peach blossom eyes were full of sweet smiles, and he hugged Zhuo Xiao's head with his backhand, and used his cold body temperature to relieve the heat on Zhuo Xiao's body.
She thought it was because of the dry autumn weather, but gradually Zhuo Xiao's forehead was sweating, and she could feel the hot heat emanating from Zhuo Xiaoxiao's muscles through her clothes, and her body was also very tight, when she clearly felt that the foreign body on her lower abdomen had a tendency to gradually become stronger, Tang Muen opened her pupils a little bit, Zhuo Xiao, this is definitely not a fever, this is hair. Love, how can this be?
