When I woke up, it was eight o'clock in the morning, and Qing'er and Jasper came to serve me to wash, and I immediately asked them, "What time is it?" ”

Jasper said outside, "It's eight o'clock in the morning, Miss." ”

I opened the tent and asked Jasper, who was waiting outside, "How did I get back?" ”

Biyu was silent for a while, her face was slightly unnatural, and she said, "You...... It was brought back by the gentleman. ”

I thought about what happened yesterday, and I was silent for two or three seconds, then I got up from the bed and urged Jasper: "Wash up for me." ”

Then I dragged the clothes on Qing'er's hand, and went to the bathroom, and after I changed my clothes and came out, I hurriedly washed up, and was about to walk in the direction of the door, Zhou's mother walked in from outside with porridge and said, "Miss, breakfast is ready, where are you going?" ”

I hurriedly said, "Put the head of the bed, I'll be here soon." ”

Then, I no longer paid attention to Zhou's mother, but went straight to Mu Jingchi's study, and when I ran to his room, he had just gotten up, and the maid had just dressed for him, he heard my wheezing and hurried footsteps, so he looked back at me, and asked with a smile: "Early in the morning, why are you so anxious." ”

I glanced at the maid in the house, thought for a moment, and then followed him and said, "What you promised me yesterday has not yet been fulfilled." ”

A maid came in with breakfast, Mu Jingchi tied the buttons on the cuffs, but he didn't look back at me, but walked to the edge of the chair with a light smile on the corner of his mouth and sat down and said, "Since you're here, I'll use breakfast in my room." ”

The maid laid out all the breakfast, and Mu Jingchi served me a bowl of white rice porridge.

There were too many maids in the house, and I was embarrassed to ask about yesterday's incident, so I put up with it for the time being and didn't speak, and when the maids were all scattered, I went over and whispered in his ear: "Brother-in-law, you can't lie to me." ”

He stopped holding the side dishes for me, looked at me, and seemed to be a little unable to remember what he promised me, so he thought for a while, and asked with a smile, "Have I promised you anything?" ”

I said, "Yes, you can't cheat." ”

He asked seriously, "Then tell me what I promised you." ”

I said, "You said I could ask you a secret." ”

He handed me the warm porridge again and asked with a smile, "When it happened, why don't I remember." ”

I angrily squeezed his hand and said, "You fool, you villain!" You-"

Just as I was searching for words to scold him, he leaned back in his chair and looked at me and said, "Yesterday I told you that this secret is not obsolete, that you forgot it yourself, and fell asleep again." ”

I didn't expect him to beat him up, I said: "Obviously you were shameless yesterday, I said I don't want it, but you want to ......"

Before I finished speaking, I suddenly realized what I had just said, I immediately covered my lips with my hands, and then glanced left and right, the maids were still waiting there, there was no change in their faces, I looked at Mu Jingchi again, the smile in his eyes became deeper and deeper, and under his playful gaze, my face quickly turned red at a visible speed.

He deliberately asked, "What do I want?" ”

I was so angry that I almost jumped to my feet, but I had no choice but to put my hand down from my lips and sit there sulking, ignoring him.

Mu Jingchi turned my face away, chuckled and said, "Okay, I won't tease you, I'll eat first, and then I'll answer your questions." ”

He handed me the clean spoon, and I looked at him and still didn't believe it and asked, "Really?" ”

He definitely told me, "It's true." ”

With his words, I happily had breakfast on the table, I had a good appetite today, and I ate a lot, on the other hand, Mu Jingchi didn't use much, he has always been like this, eat less and eat more.

After I put down the chopsticks, he put them down as well, then wiped his hands with a towel, picked up the teacup on the table and said, "Ask, I'll listen." ”

But instead of asking him a quick question, I was silent for a while, and when the maids had removed everything from the table, I took a deep breath, looked at him seriously, and asked, "Why did you kill my whole family?" ”

Mu Jingchi flicked the tea for a moment, and the smile on the corner of his mouth also stopped, and after a while, he put the cup on the table and said, "Changed a question." ”

Obviously, he refused to answer.

I insisted: "You promised me, I can ask you a secret you want to know, you said that this secret can also be about you, now I ask, is my brother-in-law going to regret it?" ”

Although there was no anger on Mu Jingchi's face, he didn't smile either, and said with a hint of imperceptible seriousness in his tone: "Except for this question. ”

He got up and wanted to leave, but I followed him and said, "No, you can't break your word, you will do what you promised me." He ignored me and continued walking, and I followed him all the way to the bookcase, where he was standing picking out the books on the shelf, and when his fingers were falling on a book of poetry, I grabbed his hand and asked, "Why can't you tell me?" ”

He stared down at me and said again, "It can be anything, but this is it." ”

I said, "Why?" ”

His expression was indifferent, and even with a hint of rare indifference, he said, "No reason. Then he took my hand from his wrist, and he said to one of the maids in the house, "Send the lady back to the room." ”

The maid came to me, and I sat there without moving, and after waiting for a while, she whispered, "Miss, let's go back to the room first." ”

I still didn't move, but looked at Mu Jingchi for a long time, he didn't intend to answer my question, I got up from the chair, walked straight out of the study, and the maid quickly followed behind me.

When I arrived at the room, Zhou's mother saw that I was back, and she was slightly surprised and asked, "Miss is eating in Mr.'s room so early?" ”

I ignored Zhou's mother, but sat down on the edge of the bed, Zhou's mother saw that I didn't answer her, so she walked towards me, saw my depressed face, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

I didn't answer Zhou's mother, she asked again: "But I had a quarrel with Mr. in the study just now?" ”

I was silent for a long time and said, "It's okay, it's just a little thing." ”

Zhou's mother still wanted to ask, so Qing'er grabbed her and shook her head slightly, and Zhou's mother finally had to give up.

Until the afternoon, when I was sitting downstairs looking at the phone in a daze, there was a sudden sound of footsteps downstairs, I looked back and saw that Wang Zhizhi was being helped down by the maid, she seemed to be really sick, her face was very pale, and people were a little depressed, after she sat in front of me, the maid poured a glass of water for her.

Wang Zhizhi didn't drink, let alone answer, just looked at me.

I looked at her for two or three seconds, and I said, "How is my aunt doing?" ”

When she heard my aunt, she didn't know why there was a hint of sarcasm on her face, but soon, she replied, "It's a lot better, it's not much of a problem, the doctor said." ”

I said, "It's fine, and if you have anything you want to eat, I'll ask the maid to make it for you." ”

It's another rainy day outside, this year's Jinling City, it's really strange, it's raining for a long time, but it's not harvested.

The hall was very quiet and only the sound of rain could be heard, I sat there with Wang Zhizhi and listened for a while, Jasper walked in from outside, holding an injured bird in her hand, saying that it was raining outside, and a bird was injured and fell off the branch by the rain, I didn't move, but Wang Zhizhi said, "Show her." ”

Biyu glanced at me, and then handed the bird to Wang Zhizhi, she took it in her hand and looked at it, her face was full of pity, and she quickly beckoned the maid to bring the medicine over.

There was a busy time in the living room, Wang Zhizhi bandaged the bird's injured leg and returned the jasper, but when she gave it to the jasper, there was a trace of reluctance in her eyes, I didn't let the jasper take it, but asked her to return the biwang Zhizhi.

Wang Zhizhi glanced at me.

I said, "No other means, this bird looks very young, Jasper and I are used to being rough and can't take care of it, just look at the aunt's movements so skillfully, it may be more suitable for it than us." ”

Wang Zhizhi held the bird and didn't speak, but looked at it with a little sadness in his eyes and said, "How can I take care of it better than you, I just think it's so small, if it dies because of this rain, it will be a pity." ”

I said, "Auntie, Bodhisattva's heart, even if she doesn't survive in the end, but with your heart, I think it's worth it." ”

Wang Zhizhi looked at the bird for a while, then did not speak again, but handed the injured bird back to the maid and told the maid to take good care of it.

She looked at me again and said, "I'm a little tired, so I'll go upstairs first." ”

I didn't keep it, but let the maid hold her well, I didn't expect that she would be sick like this in just a few days, I kept thinking about what Mu Jingchi told her that day.

When she went upstairs, I sat there for a while, then got up and went back to my room.

In the next two days, I was a little worried, I kept sitting in the house and watching the rain outside the window, dripping it non-stop day by day, Biyu, Qing'er and Zhou's mother all felt it, thinking that it was because of the quarrel between me and Mu Jingchi, but I thought of ways to make me happy.

I didn't react at all.

At noon, when the rain finally stopped, Jasper went out again, picked some fresh flowers from the garden, and brought the rain, she handed it to me, and asked me if it looked good.

I stared at those delicate words, and didn't speak for a long time, and Biyu waited for a while, and whispered a reminder: "Miss? ”

I shook my head and said, "I'm a little tired, you can just find a vase and put it in." ”

I lay back on the bed and fell asleep, and slept until about three o'clock in the afternoon, I was awakened by a nightmare, and when I opened my eyes sweating profusely, I found that Zhou's mother was by my side, this rainy season, she was also dozing, but the next second, she was woken up by me, and then looked at me and asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

I didn't answer her, just asked after a while; "What time is Mother Zhou?"

Zhou's mother glanced at the time and said, "It's three o'clock." When she saw that I was in a cold sweat, she helped me up and asked softly, "But I had a nightmare." ”

I grabbed Zhou's mother's hand tightly and said, "I dreamed, I dreamed of ......"

Mother Zhou wiped the sweat on my forehead and asked, "What did you dream about?" ”

I dreamed that my grandfather and Song Ol were all dead, I dreamed that they were burned by a fire, and my grandfather kept laughing in the fire, I don't know what he was laughing at, but Song Ol was crying, he cried and said let me save him, and I just couldn't do anything, and it didn't take long for them to turn into two corpses from the fire, and the corpses became coffins.

On the day of the funeral, I was wearing a mourning dress and messing with Mu Jingchi on the bed, smiling and playing.

I don't know what it means, but the images alone make me feel like I'm on fire.

Mother Zhou felt that my hands were shaking all the time, thinking that I was being nightmare by dreams, so she immediately asked Qing'er to pour a glass of cold water, she fed me to drink, and then touched my forehead three times with cold water with her hands.

When I finally recovered, I glanced at Zhou's mother.

Zhou's mother asked worriedly, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

I moved my lips twice, but when the words came to my lips I swallowed again, and only said weakly, "It's okay." ”

Zhou's mother helped me up, I asked Zhou's mother to help me downstairs, I stared at the phone on the sofa for a long time, and just wanted to get it, Zhou's mother reminded me beside me: "Miss, what is the important phone?" ”

I looked at Zhou's mother.

Zhou's mother said again: "If it doesn't matter, don't fight." ”

What call I want to make, Zhou's mother has never cared much, this is the first time she stopped me in such a cover-up way, I met her eyes for a few seconds, and I finally put the phone down again.

Zhou's mother helped me and said, "Let's go upstairs." ”

I was like a stiff puppet, helped upstairs by Zhou's mother, and just when I arrived at the room, Biyu said at the door: "Miss, the doctor that Mr. found for you came over today." ”

Not long after, the doctor was led in by the maids, Mu Jingchi followed him, and the two walked side by side to my bedside, Mu Jingchi seemed to be describing my situation to the doctor, and when he arrived at my bedside, he stopped talking and looked at me.

My face hadn't turned back, it was still pale, and my clothes were all wet with cold sweat, he immediately didn't wrinkle, looked at Jasper and said, "Why didn't you change the lady's clothes?" ”

After that, he sat down, sat on the edge of my bed, stroked my face and asked, "But sick?" ”

I shook my head.

He frowned and looked at me for a long time, then took the hot towel handed over by Qing'er, wiped the cold sweat off my forehead for me, and then said softly: "The doctor is here, let's let the doctor see how the body is first?" ”

In a tone of inquiry, he was probably no longer angry at the outrageous question I had asked that day.

I didn't speak, and he didn't pay any attention to me, but said to the doctor, "Please take a good look." ”

The doctor listened to Mu Jingchi's words, then handed the medicine box to the maid, walked towards me, the first thing was to check my pulse, he had been diagnosed for a long time, the look between his eyebrows was not very good, after a while, he looked at me and asked, "Can you offend Miss, can you let me check my legs?" ”

I have a blanket on my legs now, and I don't know why my legs have been a little cold and unconscious since that time when it rains.

I nodded, and the maid lifted the quilt from my body, and then removed the blanket from my lap for me, and the one who took a gauze towel and held my leg through the gauze, he pressed me in several places, and asked me if I felt it, if it was painful, or how much it hurt.

I answered all his questions.

I don't know how long he examined, but his hands were finally taken back from my legs, and the maids quickly covered my legs, and the doctor's face was still not very good.

After a long time, he said to Mu Jingchi: "The situation is not very good. Then he added, "I may be paralyzed later." ”

Mu Jingchi's face sank, and he asked as if he hadn't heard clearly: "What did you say?" ”

Regarding Mu Jingchi's reaction, the doctor's mood did not fluctuate particularly much, as if he was used to seeing such a condition, he said: "The frostbite of the joints is too serious, and it is an irreversible trend at present. ”

Zhou's mother was a little unconvinced and said: "But the previous doctor didn't say it was so serious at all, he said that it would be fine to let the young lady recuperate, how could it be so serious?" ”

Zhou's mother's words were a little unreasonable, but the doctor didn't bother with her, but said: "If it's just a simple frostbite, it's not so serious, and there is nothing wrong with what those doctors said, and the bad thing is that Miss was frostbitten after giving birth, and the body was the weakest at that time, and the cold easily invaded the bone marrow, so it made this frostbite eight times ten times more serious." ”

Mu Jingchi's eyes exuded a cold light, but his expression was still as usual and asked, "How is Mr. going to recuperate?" ”

The doctor bowed to Mu Jingchi: "It stands to reason that Mr. Mu invited me all the way to cure Miss, I should have completely cured Miss, but Sai is a shallow learner, and may have to live up to Mr.'s expectations, I can only say that I can keep her worry-free for forty years, as for what will happen in the future, that is Miss's creation." ”

Mu Jingchi said: "Please do your best. ”

The doctor said, "You don't have to worry about that, I will do my best for the young lady." ”

Mother Zhou saw that the words had been decided and the situation could not be reversed, so she cried, but I sat there, and I didn't feel anything when I heard it, as if the doctor was not talking about me, but someone else.

After that, the doctor prescribed a prescription to the maid, told me some other matters, and said that I might need acupuncture for a few days, so that I could be prepared, and then I didn't stay long, so I was sent away by the maids.

Zhou's mother was still crying quietly on the side, and Mu Jingchi ordered: "Zhou's mother, you go out first." ”

Mother Zhou looked at Mu Jing for a while, thought about it, and nodded with red eyes.

After Zhou's mother left, Mu Jingchi looked at me for a long time, but in the end it was just a sentence: "Take care of yourself." He didn't say anything more, his face was not very good, and he didn't seem to be in the mood to deal with me, and then he got up and left the room, leaving me alone and silent.

In the next few days, Mu Jingchi was not in a very good mood, I heard Jasper and them say that he didn't have a smile on his face, and he killed the maid locked in the backyard directly without any hesitation.

That morning, the body was carried out from the main entrance of the Mu family, and the maids all stood there watching, but no one dared to speak, and Biyu stood beside me, although she did not go out of the hall door, she was also so frightened that her face was bloodless, and I was no better than her.

As I sat in the living room, I peeked through the crevices of the maids and the corpse was dripping blood as it was carried out, and the hands slipped out of the white cloth, and a jade ring fell off the corpse's wrist and shattered to the ground.

My whole body was trembling, and my eyes were closed and I was there to calm my emotions.

I asked Jasper, "Is that body the same one that was taken down on the night of the assassination?" ”

Jasper said, "Yes...... I heard that there was no recruitment, and Mr. had kept her before, but I don't know why he suddenly killed her this morning. ”

I didn't speak.

I only felt that the smell of blood brought in by the wind outside made people breathless, and even a feeling of suffocation.

I didn't stay downstairs for a long time, but let Biyu help me upstairs, until three o'clock in the afternoon, I woke up with sweat all over my body, but this time Zhou's mother and Biyu were not around, I sat on the bed in thin clothes, and called several times with a panicked face, but no one came in, I immediately climbed off the bed, and then looked in the house, but there was only the sound of wind in the empty room.

I pushed the door and ran out, panting and running to Mu Jingchi's study, he was talking to Steward Zhou in the study, and before he could react, I threw myself directly at him and threw myself directly into his arms.

He hugged me, and his body shook unsteadily a few times by my sudden force, but soon he stabilized his body again, wrapped his hands firmly around me, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

I didn't speak, and I burst into tears in his arms.

Mu Jingchi saw that I was only wearing a pajamas, and I didn't even have shoes on my feet, standing barefoot on the cold ground, he quickly picked me up, at this time Biyu chased me in from outside the study, and seemed to find that I was missing, but as soon as she arrived at the door, Mu Jingchi hugged me and sat down on the chair, when even the cold voice to Biyu ordered: "Bring a piece of clothing." ”

Biyu was frightened by Mu Jingchi's expression, she said yes in a trembling voice, and quickly ran out to get clothes for me.

After she rushed over as fast as she could, Mu Jingchi took the blanket from Jasper's hand and wrapped my body directly, and I was still crying in his arms, crying hoarsely.

Mu Jingchi kept coaxing for a while, and then he suddenly looked at Biyu and asked with anger between his eyebrows: "How do you take care of the young lady!" ”

Biyu was so frightened by his tone that her legs weakened, and she knelt directly on the ground, and then Zhou's mother and Qing'er rushed over again, and in an instant, the room knelt on the ground.

Mu Jingchi lost his temper for a long time, and when he saw that I was still crying, he said to the people around him: "Drag these two useless maids down for me." ”

Biyu and Qing'er begged for mercy, and the two subordinates set up Biyu and Qing'er and were about to drag them out, but finally I stopped crying and said, "I'm just having a nightmare, it's none of their business." ”

Mu Jingchi didn't listen, he ordered in a cold voice: "Drag it out!" ”

I tugged at his clothes and said, "I must remember to wear socks and clothes next time, and I will never run out barefoot or without clothes again." ”

I looked at him pleadingly, and my eyes red from crying.

Mu Jingchi lowered his eyes for a long time, and finally he extinguished his anger, twisted his brows and said, "Go down." ”

Qing'er and Biyu's bodies instantly softened, and the two of them were almost stunned.

Mu Jingchi has been in a bad mood during this time, all the maids are trembling, and after all the people in the house retreated, I continued to bury myself in Mu Jingchi's arms and cry quietly.

His expression still did not ease, and he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes for me and said, "I have always disliked you crying, and now you are still crying so badly, are you deliberately looking for those maids to be angry?" ”

I shook my head in his arms and cried out, "No. ”

He lifted my face and said, "Then tell me what kind of nightmare you had that made you cry like this, panic like this." ”

I didn't speak, but buried myself in his bosom again, and after a long time, I muffled and said, "I'm just afraid, there's no one in the house, I thought I was alone." ”

He stroked my head and said softly, "Isn't my study next door to you?" I have something to fear in this room. ”

He kissed me on the cheek and said, "Okay, don't cry, you're upsetting me." ”

I sobbed, and then I stopped making a sound, and he looked at me like this, and picked me up from his arms again, and then continued to wipe my tears and said, "Jasper, they said, you have not slept very well all this time, but what is wrong with you?" ”

I jogged and said, "There's nothing uncomfortable. After a while, I said, "I'm just scared, maid that morning." ”

I said, "Why did you kill her, did she do anything?" ”

Mu Jingchi picked up the towel on the side and wiped my tearful face for me and said, "It's not a big deal, compared to those little things, I care more about your body." He paused for a few seconds, then came to my brow with the hand that wiped my face and said, "Shouldn't that maid scare you like this?" ”

The gentleness in his tone, the gentleness in his eyebrows, and the strength with which I wiped my face were gentle.

I don't know why his words sent chills down my spine.

He didn't seem to notice that my face was pale again, but he continued to whisper: "I won't let anyone who hurts your body, so if you want Qing'er and Jasper to be safe and sound, you have to be obedient and take care of your body, understand?" ”

For a moment, I didn't know what to say, I just stared at him blankly.

He sighed, pressed my head on his chest again and said: "Nothing is a big deal in my heart, but you, how can you understand, you will only take my care for you, unscrupulous, willful, it is me who hurts, and it is me who is worried, what do you say I can do, the only way I can stop you from hurting me is to protect you well." ”

His words made my body extremely stiff, and gradually, I slowly softened again, and did not say another word, just closed my eyes and buried myself in his arms.

Later, I don't know if it was the reason for the incense burning in his house or what, my eyelids were a little heavy, but I didn't fall asleep, just squinted in a daze, and felt a maid gently walk in and whispered: "Sir, do you want to take the young lady back to the room to rest?" ”

He said no, and then said, "Get out." ”

The maid listened, there was no sound for a long time, and it took about a while before retreating, Mu Jingchi stared at me with low eyes for a while, brushed away the broken hair on my forehead, and kissed me twice on my crying red eyelids, and then hugged me and flipped through the documents on the table casually.

I lay in his arms for two hours, two hours later, I woke up and recovered a little, sitting next to Mu Jingchi with the snacks on his table to eat, he looked at me with a smile, the crumbs of the snacks fell off his table and he didn't care, for a long time, he suddenly came over, kissed the pastry crumbs on the corner of my lips and said, "Eat less, dinner is useless, and I can't eat it later." ”

I held the plate and whispered, "I'm hungry." ”

He laughed, and I shoved the remaining piece of my hand to his lips, but he didn't eat it, just kissed the corner around my mouth and said, "That's enough." With a smile in his eyes, he retreated slightly, wiped it for me with his hand, and said with unconcealed love in his eyes: "You know that I have never been able to eat sweet." ”

Then the door was pushed open, Mu Jingchi looked sideways, Wang Zhizhi walked in, she was holding a small plate of fruit in her hand, and Mu Jingchi's hand also came down from my lips.

Wang Zhizhi's body seems to be much better, wearing a white and elegant cheongsam, covered with a small thread shirt, her complexion is not bad, and she is not as haggard as before.

She said: "I cut a little fruit and brought it in for Qingye, I was afraid that she would get tired of eating those pastries. ”

Mu Jingchi glanced at her, and just said lightly: "Put it down." ”

Wang Zhizhi came over with the fruit, and then put the plate in front of me, which was full of my favorite fruits, my hand holding the pastry stopped, she smiled and said, "If you don't think it's enough, tell me later, I'll prepare it for you." ”

Wang Zhizhi didn't stay, he blessed Mu Jingchi, turned around and went out again.

I couldn't figure out why she had changed me so much, and she wasn't even so considerate of me like she used to be.

I looked at Mu Jingchi, but he was not surprised at all, he just moved the plate of fruit away a little, and then flipped through the documents.

I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with her?" ”

Mu Jing didn't look up for a long time, but said with a smile: "What's the matter, she is good to you, but you are not adaptable?" ”

I said, "She wasn't like that before. ”

Mu Jingchi flipped a page of paper and said lightly: "Isn't this what she should do, if she wants to sit firmly in the position of Mrs. Mu and can't do this, then it doesn't make any sense for her to marry in the first place, isn't it." ”

I didn't understand the meaning of Mu Jingchi's words, but I just looked at him, and when he saw that I was in a daze with him, he raised his eyes with a smile and said, "What are you in a daze." Then he glanced at the plate of cut fruit and said, "Eat some fruit." ”

I withdrew my gaze, nodded, and without saying anything more, I picked up the fruit on the table and ate it again.

I accompanied Mu Jingchi in the study until about four o'clock, and I didn't leave until dinner, and I was about to go back to the room to change clothes, but I met Wang Zhizhi again in the corridor back to the room.

She seemed to be waiting for me, and when she saw me coming this way, she also walked over, and said with a smile from a distance, "Qingye, I just wanted to ask you if you have anything else you want to eat." ”

I was a little uncomfortable with the change in her attitude, but after a long time, I still replied to her: "No, don't be busy, there are servants here, just let the servants do this." ”

She took my hand and said, "You can't do this, servants have always been so-so in doing things, and if you complete things, even if you have completed the merits, where is your own family careful, now that your body is recuperating, you should pay more attention to your diet." ”

She led me towards the room, but instead of letting her in, I stopped at the door and said, "I want to change." ”

She understood, and didn't continue to enter, but said, "Then I'll go downstairs first and ask the maid at home to prepare the meal, and remember to come down to eat later." She smiled, and without waiting for me to answer, she turned to leave, and I said behind her, "Did he tell you anything that day?" ”

She paused, but did not look back at me, and her shadow swayed in the corridor, incomparably thin.

She directly denied: "No. ”

I took two steps behind her, came up behind her and said, "That's not how you treated me before. ”

She still didn't look back, but whispered: "As his wife, even if your sister is his deceased wife, you have nothing to do with him, but he treats you as his own, these are all things I should do." ”

I sneered, but she continued: "I was ignorant during that time, and I always liked to worry about you, Qingye, don't be angry with me." ”

She turned to look at me, with a familiar smile on her face, took my hand, and said with a gentle face, "I hope that the two of us can still get along as before, and from now on I will treat you as if you were my own sister." ”

I don't know if Wang Zhizhi has taken the wrong medicine these days, I stared at her eyes carefully, and found that in addition to laughing, I still laughed.

I knew I couldn't ask anything, so I took her hand away from my arm, smiled at her, and turned into the room.

As soon as I entered the house, Zhou's mother came out of the bathroom, put hot water for me to bathe, and when she saw me leaning against the door and not moving, she asked, "Miss, what are you leaning on?" ”

I walked over to her, and after standing in front of Zhou's mother without saying a word, I grabbed her hand tightly, like holding a life-saving straw, and said to Zhou's mother: "Zhou's mother, I want to leave here." ”

As soon as I spoke, she covered my lips and lowered her voice and said, "Don't say such things again." ”

She seemed to be very scared, but she was not afraid, but took her hand off my lips: "Mu Jingchi is going to imprison me here now, I know, don't lie to me again, and it is impossible for the people of the Yuan family to take me back, Yuan Chengjun acquiesced to me staying in the Mu family for a long time, otherwise it is rumored that the two families have not been together for so long, he will not be indifferent and let it develop, even Wang Heqing mentioned this matter, he stopped it." ”

Zhou's mother frowned and said, "Don't think nonsense, the most important thing now is to cure your illness." ”

I thought of something again and asked Zhou's mother, "Do you know something?" Why didn't you let me make that call that day? ”

Under my gaze, Zhou's mother took a small step back, stammered slightly, and said, "You, why are you thinking nonsense again." ”

I knelt on my knees in front of Zhou's mother, she was startled, and just wanted to help me, but I knelt on the ground and didn't move, no matter how Zhou's mother pulled me, I couldn't afford it.

Zhou's mother frowned and said, "Miss, why are you doing this!" ”

I said: "Mother Zhou, I only have one or two family members left, now I can't hear anything, I can't see anything, I know that Mu Jingchi must know something, but I can't get out, I don't know what the situation is outside, you must tell me, now only you can help me." ”

Zhou's mother sighed again and again when she heard this, she squatted down with me, stroked my face and cried and said: "Child, Zhou's mother is also old now, she really doesn't know anything, but her brain is not confused, you were going to call that day, I vaguely guessed who you were going to call, so I stopped you, as for stopping you, it is not because of what happened, but at this juncture, you should not contact the person you should not contact." ”

She wiped her tears for me and said, "Everything is different when that happens, and it is impossible for my husband to be defenseless against you, if you contact them again at this juncture, won't this bring trouble to them and to yourself?" ”

I didn't speak.

Zhou's mother said: "Now you can't protect yourself, don't think too much about it, taking care of your body is the most important thing." She tried to help me get up from the ground: "When the gentleman relaxes a little, if you want to make this call, it will be much safer." ”

She helped me stand up, but I only felt that my feet were weak, and I was helped to the edge of the bed and sat down by her with the help of Zhou's mother's strength.

I looked at Zhou's mother and asked, "Will I always be locked here by him in the future?" ”

Zhou's mother didn't speak, but after a while: "No, don't think nonsense." Mother Zhou comforted me: "Let's go downstairs for dinner first, aren't you going to the wedding in a few days?" At that time, I was able to go out, so I played more and distracted my heart, Mr. Now the most important thing is your body, and I definitely don't have any other mind to do anything else. ”

I was silent.

The sky outside was still overcast, and it seemed that there was a storm coming.

I said, "Mother Zhou, it is impossible for me to be with him, especially with such an identity, I must go." ”

Mother Zhou didn't refute unexpectedly, but looked at me for a long time, and then she said: "It's better for you to go back to Yuan's house as soon as possible, but in such a situation, how can you go, you don't know what the situation is outside." ”

At this time, a servant outside the door called: "Miss, it's time to eat." ”

Zhou's mother reacted and immediately replied, "Miss will come soon." The servant didn't stay long, and then the door was the sound of footsteps leaving, Zhou's mother walked over, cautiously opened the door, and after confirming that there was no one outside, she walked back, I got up from the bedside, took Zhou's mother's hand, looked at her eagerly, and said, "Will you help me, right?" ”

Zhou's mother didn't move, I shook her twice, and asked almost in a pleading voice, "Right?" Zhou's mother? ”

After a long time, her emotions finally loosened a little under my gaze, and she said, "What does Miss need to do in bed?" ”

I laughed happily twice, didn't waste time, and approached her and whispered a few words in her ear, but what I didn't expect was that after hearing this, Zhou's mother said with a frightened face: "No! She turned around and said, "I will never do this for you, Mother Zhou doesn't even want her life for you, but I can't agree to you only for this matter." ”
