310. Dull aches
Mu Jingchi said: "If you don't even want to tell me the truth, how can I agree to your request?" ”
I said, "But you lost." ”
He smiled and said, "So I don't disagree, I just need you to give me a reason." ”
I said, "Didn't I give you a reason?" ”
Mu Jingchi asked, "But did you tell me the truth?" I don't think you're interested in the Mu family. ”
I sat there silent and didn't speak, Mu Jingchi saw that I refused to say the real reason, and he no longer wasted time with me, but put down the teacup in his hand and said: "Think about it yourself, what I just told you is reasonable, if you can't be honest with me, then I naturally can't agree to you about this matter." He looked at me for a moment and then said, "It's not early, rest early." ”
He coughed lowly, said no more, and got up to go back to his room.
But the second he got up, I got up immediately, grabbed his sleeve in time, and he looked back at me with a pause.
I said, "Do you have to tell you the truth?" ”
Mu Jingchi didn't speak, just looked at me.
Under his gaze, I hesitated for two seconds and said, "If you want to listen, you should sit down and listen to me, what else can I tell you when you enter the room." ”
When Mu Jingchi saw me say this, he sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, you say, I'll listen." Then he sat down.
When he sat down, he said to me, who was still there, "Tell me why you have to send the little fish away." ”
I said, "Are you happy?" ”
I asked him this question.
When Mu Jingchi listened to my question, he raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously not very understanding why I asked her this question.
I said, "You answer me." ”
He asked, "Must you ask?" ”
I said solemnly, "Yes." ”
He smiled, as if he couldn't do anything about me, he sat there and thought for a moment and said, "So far, I'm in a good mood, but I don't know if tomorrow's mood will be the same as now." ”
Mu Jingchi was sloppy with me here, I was angry, I said, "I'm not asking how you are feeling now, but asking you, are you happy?" ”
He picked up the folding fan on the table, put it in his hand and played with it twice, thinking about something, and for about a minute, he said, "I don't know, but I don't think I'm too satisfied." ”
I said, "Which side is not satisfied?" ”
Mu Jing was silent.
I said: "In my opinion, a person's life, does not need to be rich and expensive, how to get ahead, only need a warm home, with dearest love, daily troubles, is the triviality of life, and the growth of children, of course, this is my idea, does not mean that this kind of life is correct, after all, everyone pursues different things, I can't control others, but at least I can choose what kind of life Xiaoyuer wants to live in the future, I know what you are thinking, but I don't want to use Xiaoyuer's life, In exchange for my stability, he has what he wants to pursue, if I am tied up in this huge Mu family because of me, not only will I not be happy, but I will also hate myself and you, the last time Feng'er fell into the pond, it was just a beginning, Feng'er is your biological son, and Wang Zhizhi will definitely not let you do this.
I've been arguing with her for so many years, and I don't want to continue to struggle with her because of these problems for decades to come. ”
When I said this, I slowly crouched down in front of him, looked up at him and said, "That's why I have to let the little fish go." ”
With a pleading look in my eyes, I said, "Is this a good reason?" ”
I don't know if Mu Jingchi will believe it, but I can't mention anything about Gu Huizhi to him, and I have to find a reason that convinces him, so I can only use this reason.
Under his gaze, I didn't dare to move, I don't know how long it took, when I felt a little numb in my legs, Mu Jingchi asked, "What do you think?" ”
I said with absolute certainty, "Yes, I think so." ”
Mu Jing didn't speak for a long time, the expression on his face couldn't be guessed, he stared at me with low eyes for a while, and whispered, "Get up." ”
I didn't understand what he meant, so I didn't move, still crouching in front of him.
When he saw me squatting on the ground and not moving, he jokingly asked, "Why, still refusing to get up?" Then he smiled and asked, "Is it possible that I won't agree to you, and I still have to play a fool underground like when I was a child?" ”
Seeing that his tone was full of looseness, I immediately asked, "So you agreed?" ”
Mu Jingchi said: "Is there one? Did I promise you? ”
I smiled and said, "No matter, you said yes anyway." At this time, I naturally didn't say a word, immediately got up from the ground, and then bowed to him and said, "I thanked Xiao Yu'er first." ”
After I finished speaking, I saw that the tea on the table was gradually getting cold, so I immediately called in the Chun'er who were waiting outside, and asked them to hurry up and replace it with a pot of tea.
After Chun'er and the others came in, Mu Jingchi sat there and said, "Okay, don't be busy, it's not early, let's rest early." ”
After Mu Jingchi finished speaking, he said to Chun'er: "Lead the young lady back to the room to rest earlier." ”
Chun'er was going to serve the teapot, but when she heard Mu Jingchi's command, she immediately stopped her movements and replied yes to Mu Jingchi.
Mu Jingchi didn't stay any longer, and was helped into the room by the maid, but when the maid helped him to the door of the room, he stopped again, looked back at me and said: "Xiao Yu'er is not young, in a few years, he will reach the age of running a family, it is obviously not appropriate to send him to other people's homes, let Steward Sun go outside to buy him a house tomorrow, send a few maids to take care of him, and when he reaches the age where he can make his own decisions, what kind of life he wants to live, just follow his heart, I will not interfere again." ”
Mu Jingchi's meaning was obvious, I smiled happily and blessed him again and said, "Okay, tomorrow I will go out with Steward Sun to buy a home for Xiao Yu'er of his own." ”
Mu Jingchi saw that I was happy like this, he chuckled twice, did not say more, but walked towards the bedroom, and soon, after he entered the house, the maids also closed the door, and then Xiao Xiu'er came out of the bedroom, and said to me with a smile: "Miss, Mr. wants to rest, he asked you to go back to the room to rest early." ”
I didn't expect Mu Jingchi to agree so easily, originally I was thinking of begging him with a belly of rhetoric to persuade him, and I was even ready for him not to agree, but I didn't expect him to seem to be in a good mood today, and it was very magical to agree so easily.
I stood in his study for a while, and soon took Chun'er and them out of the study, and when I walked into the corridor, Chun'er followed me and said, "Sir seems to be in a good mood today, but Miss said something happy just now?" ”
I didn't speak, and I didn't know how Mu Jingchi could have such a good temper today.
Chun'er covered her lips and snickered there: "It's rare for you to be so attentive to your husband, since you came back from Japan, I haven't seen your effect on your husband, today is the first time." ”
Hearing Chun'er say this, I subconsciously asked, "Really?" ”
Chun'er immediately nodded and said: "Of course, you sometimes avoid Mr., Mr. really loves you, he always agrees to what you ask him, presumably it is rare for you to be so close to him." ”
I didn't speak, just walked inside the house.
Mu Jingchi agreed to let Xiao Yu'er go, so the next day Steward Sun went out to plan a place for Xiao Yu'er, I naturally couldn't send Xiao Yu'er to Gu Hui's house again, he has reached the age of his own independent life, after leaving the Mu family, when he is older, whether he will leave the Mu family at that time, or choose to study abroad, I will follow his wishes, instead of being tied to the Mu family's ship as early as now.
In the afternoon, when I was packing up for Xiao Yu'er in the house, Chun'er was also cleaning up with me, and asked me while tidying up, if the successor of the Mu family is no longer determined by Xiao Yu'er, will the Mu family fall on Feng'er?
When Chun'er asked me this question, I also subconsciously stopped what I was doing.
I don't know what Mu Jingchi will plan to do in the future, no matter what Mu Jingchi's current body is, the Mu family has indeed reached the time to cultivate an heir, after all, a qualified heir of the Mu family is not something that can be completed in three or five years.
Chun'er saw that I didn't speak, so she hesitated and said: "Mr. decided like that at the beginning, in fact, there is a general reason because of Miss, and now Miss insists on not letting Young Master Xiaoyu'er inherit it, then the only person who is qualified to take over the Mu family is Young Master Feng'er...... What should I do, Miss? ”
Chun'er's words were full of worry.
I stopped for a few seconds, then continued to pack up the little fish's clothes and said, "No matter who it is, as long as it's not the little fish." ”
Chun'er said again: "Do you want to tell Miss Gu about this matter, I see that Miss Gu is very willing for Xiao Yu'er to take over everything in the Mu family, but now you have begged Mr. and changed the matter, if Miss Gu knows, what will she think?" ”
I said with a blank face, "What can she think?" I felt that Chun'er was talking too much, so I glanced at her and said, "Okay, hurry up and prepare everything, so that Xiaoyu'er can leave here as soon as possible, as soon as possible." ”
When Chun'er saw me say this, she didn't hurry to say anything more, so she lowered her head again and quickly cleaned up there.
When it was almost cleaned up, in the evening, Steward Sun came back, and then handed me a few houses that I had purchased today and asked me to choose.
There are only Xiao Yu'er and the maids and women living there, I am afraid that it will be too lonely, so I did not choose a big room, but chose a small and comfortable one, and then instructed Steward Sun to send someone over to clean up the inside, Steward Sun naturally agreed: "Don't worry, I will definitely arrange the residence of Young Master Xiaoyuer according to Miss's request." ”
Seeing him say this, I was also relieved a lot, so I handed back a few house plans in my hand to Steward Sun, and said, "I'm tired." ”
When Steward Sun smiled and was about to leave, I suddenly remembered something, so I looked at Chun'er on the side and asked, "By the way, Chun'er, what about Xiao Yu'er, didn't you just ask you to call him over?" ”
Chun'er immediately replied over there and said, "I went to Young Master Xiaoyu'er's room just now to report once." She also felt a little strange and said, "I don't know, I haven't come here yet." ”
She looked up and looked outside. When she was about to go out to ask for it, I said, "No, I'll go to him, I have something to tell him." ”
So far, I haven't told Xiao Yu'er about sending him away, and I have to find a suitable point to talk to him about this matter.
After I got out of the room, I walked towards Xiao Yu'er's house, but when I arrived at her door, I didn't see Xiao Yu'er inside, only a maid was there to continue to pack things for him, so Chun'er asked where the little girl went.
The maid immediately said: "Young Master Xiaoyu'er seems to have gone downstairs." ”
I said, "Downstairs? Downstairs living room? ”
The maid said, "It seems so." ”
Hearing the maid say this, I went out of the house again, turned around and walked downstairs, but when I reached the staircase of the living room, I happened to see Xiao Yu'er talking on the phone, and there was not a maid in the hall, and I didn't know who he was talking to.
I paced and walked towards him, and called out again, "Little fish." ”
When the little fish who was talking on the phone heard my voice, it seemed to be frightened, and he immediately put down the phone in his hand and hurriedly turned back to look at me.
When I saw him like this, I felt a little strange and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Xiao Yu'er looked at me with a vigilant face, he didn't say a word, he actually pushed me away, and ran straight upstairs, I was pushed by his strength and almost didn't stand firm, but fortunately, Chun'er quickly supported me, and I barely stood there.
Chun'er hurriedly asked me, "Miss, are you okay?" ”
I told her it was okay, but after saying that, I subconsciously looked over the phone again.
Chun'er hugged me and said beside me: "Young Master Xiaoyu'er is really, how can you be so reckless, how can you be so rude to push you when you call, fortunately you stood firm, if you didn't pay attention just now, you would be on the ground." ”
Just as Chun'er was reading in pieces, I suddenly said, "Chun'er, was he on the phone just now?" ”
When Chun'er saw me asking, she immediately said, "Yes, didn't you see it just now?" ”
Who can Xiao Yu'er call to? And at this time, when he was so panicked, there should be no one else except to call Gu Huizhi, I quickly pushed Chun'er who was holding me away, walked over and picked up the microphone used by Xiao Yu'er, and then put the microphone to my ear, the phone had been hung up, and there was a ringtone of disconnection on the phone, I couldn't find out where Xiao Yu'er's call was, but I didn't think about it, according to my intuition, I directly dialed a phone call to Gu Huizhi.
The first call was in a state where no one answered, I immediately dialed the second call, and the second call thought three times, and then the phone was connected, and Gu Huizhi's voice came from inside.
Neither of us spoke, I was waiting for Gu Huizhi to speak, and after waiting for about three seconds, the other side really took the initiative to speak, she said, "You want to send Xiaoyu'er away?" ”
Sure enough, I guessed correctly, Xiao Yu'er just made a phone call, and the person who called was Gu Huizhi, I didn't deny it, but told her truthfully: "Yes, Mu Jingchi has promised not to let Xiao Yu'er inherit the Mu family, and the Mu family will raise Xiao Yu'er to fifteen, and when he turns fifteen, he can live independently, and he will never have anything to do with the Mu family again." ”
Gu Huizhi asked, "Why do you want to do this?" ”
Her tone was not as usual, and there was no smile at all.
I had already thought about a showdown with her, so I didn't plan to hide it from her, but said directly: "It's nothing, I just did what I wanted to do, of course, don't get me wrong, I never thought about stopping anything from it, it's just that Xiaoyu'er is a child, since I brought him here, then I have the responsibility to let him leave this vortex, he is just an innocent person, not a pawn used by trusted people." ”
When Gu Huizhi heard my words, she didn't speak, she was silent.
I said again: "You have your position, and I also have mine, even if Xiao Yu'er inherits the Mu family in the future?" Do you think Mu Jingchi will be able to wait for that day? The day when Xiao Yu'er controls the Mu family and is used for you will only be in a long time, definitely not when Mu Jingchi is alive, Mu Jingchi is not stupid, he appointed Xiao Yu'er, but it does not mean that when he is alive, he will give all the rights to Xiao Yu'er. ”
Gu Huizhi asked in a hoarse voice on the other end of the phone, "Do you mean to be my enemy?" ”
I said, "No, Huizhi, you're wrong, I'm not making enemies of you, I'm just stopping you from using Xiao Yu'er, you can be someone else, anyone, it shouldn't be Xiao Yu'er, he has nothing to do with this grudge, why do you want to pull such an innocent person in?" ”
"Innocent?" When Gu Huizhi heard my words, she actually laughed low on the other end of the phone, and she said, "Who is not innocent? Who is not an innocent victim in this matter? Am I not? My family, isn't it? My brother, isn't it?! Lu Qingye, don't use Xiaoyuer as an excuse, I know very well what you are afraid of, sure enough, Mu Jingchi is really scheming, and raised you into a loyal dog, it's time for you, you are still guarding your home for him, Lu Qingye, you don't want to think about it yourself, and you don't want to think about how your family died in his hands, he does a lot of evil! I can't kill him, but I can at least control his Mu family, so that his life's hard work will come to naught after closing his eyes, I think, at that time, his coffin board has to find someone to hold it, right? ”
She sneered and said, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to come this step between us, a step on opposite sides." ”
I said, "If you want to get the Mu family, I will never stop it, but Xiao Yu'er shouldn't be the way for you to get all this, he is not." ”
Gu Huizhi said on the phone: "Don't be here to be hypocritical, let me tell you, if you meddle in this matter, we will no longer be friends!" ”
Then, she hung up the phone, and there was a busy disconnection sound inside, and I stood there silent for a few seconds with the microphone in my hand, and finally put the microphone down.
I knew it would be like this, she would know all this, but I didn't expect it to be Xiao Yu'er who secretly told her.
I can't tell you what it feels like in my heart, the dull ache that hits my heart, it's not too painful, but it's not very comfortable.
After hanging up the phone, I walked upstairs again, and Chun'er immediately followed me, but we only reached the staircase when I saw Mu Jingchi walking downstairs.
Chun'er's movements and I immediately stopped at the same time.
He was still wearing dark blue pajamas, and he walked downstairs with a sick face, and when he walked up to me, he saw that my face was not very good, so he asked, "What's the matter, I quarreled with someone?" ”
I didn't expect the emotions on my face to be seen through by her at a glance, so I immediately said, "It's nothing, it's just a few quarrels with Gu Huizhi." ”
I wasn't in the mood to face him now, and said, "I'm a little dizzy, I want to go upstairs and rest first." ”
I didn't look at Mu Jingchi again, and walked straight upstairs.
Chun'er was afraid that Mu Jingchi would think that I was losing my temper with him, so she was busy explaining to Mu Jingchi: "Miss was talking to Miss Gu on the phone just now, and the two of them quarreled a few words, and they were in a bad mood." ”
Mu Jingchi didn't speak when he heard it, but Assistant Yu next to him said, "So atmospheric? ”
Chun'er was a little afraid to speak, and lowered her head there.
Mu Jingchi saw that I rushed into his room angrily, so he said to Chun'er: "Go up, by the way, let Sister-in-law Gui bring a pot of chrysanthemum tea to lower the anger." ”
Chun'er immediately said, "Yes." ”
Mu Jingchi didn't ask anything, and continued to walk downstairs, Chun'er stood there and felt a little strange, strange Mr. didn't ask her anything.
Chun'er couldn't figure out what was going on, she stood there and hesitated for a few seconds, thought about it, and finally turned around and went to the kitchen to ask Sister-in-law Gui for a pot of chrysanthemum tea, and then went upstairs.
When I arrived at the room, Chun'er happened to walk in from outside with chrysanthemum tea, and I asked her, "Did he ask you anything just now?" ”
Chun'er said: "Mr. just asked you what's wrong, I said that you had a few quarrels with Miss Gu, and he asked me to go to the kitchen to bring you a pot of chrysanthemum tea to lower the fire for you, and I didn't ask much else." ”
I said, "That's all?" ”
Chun'er said, "Yes, that's all. ”
This is not like Mu Jingchi's personality, he didn't ask much, if it was usual, Chun'er would have been called by him for questioning.
Chun'er saw that I was sitting there and didn't speak, so she asked again: "Miss, do you have chrysanthemum tea?" ”
I said, "No, I'm going to look for the little fish." ”
After saying that, I got up from the side of the bed and walked outside, Chun'er wanted to say something with chrysanthemum tea, but in the end she didn't say anything.
When I walked to the corridor outside the door, I happened to see Mu Jingchi sitting in the hall flipping through the newspaper, and Assistant Yu Hou beside him.
I stood there and watched for a few seconds, without many people staying, and continued to walk in the direction of Xiao Yu'er's room, and when I arrived at his door, the maid happened to come out of her room, and when the maid saw me, she called, "Miss." ”
I didn't care about the maid, just pushed the door and walked in.
