039. Mu Jingchi

After that, the news of my pregnancy spread all over the mountain, and it didn't take long for Mu Jingchi to hear the news and rushed over, when he sat in front of me, the maid was coming over with a black medicinal soup, I beat the soup with my backhand, and I was extremely irritable and said, "Get out!" ”

Mu Jingchi was not frightened by me, but the maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and cried, "Young grandmother, the lord and the lady have specially instructed you. ”

I sat there with my face pale, my lips pursed stubbornly, and I didn't say a word.

Mu Jingchi glanced at the maid, and then whispered, "Let's go down first." ”

The maid listened to Mu Jingchi's words, didn't dare to stay, and after picking up the broken pieces on the ground, she quickly got up and slowly retreated from the room, leaving me and Mu Jingchi inside, he picked up the bowl of sugar water on the table and said, "Don't take medicine, always take some sugar water to replenish your strength." ”

Ever since I was diagnosed with pregnancy, I have refused to eat.

I said in a hoarse voice, "There's no way I'm going to eat anything." ”

Mu Jingchi didn't pay attention to me, he gently scooped a spoonful and handed it to my lips and said, "What did the doctor say?" ”

I closed my lips tightly and refused to speak.

He said coldly: "Open your mouth." ”

Then, he pouted my chin and put the sugar water into my mouth, I wanted to spit it out, he clamped my jaw and forced me to swallow it, I looked at him angrily, and threw the bowl of sugar water in his hand with his backhand and said, "Do you even want me to give birth to this evil seed?!" I'm telling you, this thing is a shame on me, and none of you want me to stay! ”

The bowl of sugar water soon fell to the ground again, and I don't know how many bowls it was, and I dropped and dropped it again and again since I refused to eat.

Mu Jingchi's patience was much better than mine, and he didn't get angry. Instead, he asked the servant to prepare another bowl and said, "I don't care what will happen to this child, I care about your body, and you want to starve him?" Probably because my idea was too naΓ―ve, he sneered and said, "You will be the one who starves to death first." ”

I said, "But so what? Do I still have any meaning in living now? If that's how I'm alive, I'd better not be alive. ”

Mu Jing ignored me for a long time, and soon the maid brought another bowl, this time no longer sugar water but freshly boiled porridge.

He picked it up again, and when the temperature of the porridge had subsided, he scooped another spoonful and handed it to my lips and said, "Open your mouth." ”

I looked at him coldly, and he suddenly grabbed my chin and started pouring it at me, I closed my eyes desperately, struggling to vomit out, but even if I vomited cleanly, there was still a viscous liquid flowing down my mouth into my esophagus.

I grabbed Mu Jingchi's hand, slapped it fiercely, coughed fiercely, and made a lot of movement in the room, Liu Hongliu saw the situation here, and was also startled, and quickly knelt on the ground and cried: "Sir, Miss is now a pregnant woman, and she can't stand such a toss." ”

But Mu Jingchi didn't even look at me, just kept taking the bowl of porridge and pouring it into my mouth until the porridge bottomed out, he put the bowl on the table with a cold face, then stood up and looked at me, didn't look at it again, turned around and left my room.

I lay on the bed, clutching my chest and vomiting desperately, trying to vomit all the things that flowed into my esophagus, but it didn't work, because I had been hungry for too long, and what came out was the mucus in my stomach, and there was not a trace of food.

Liu Hongliu immediately helped me and patted my back to relieve me.

I don't know how long I threw up, I lay there and didn't move.

Not long after, Mrs. Yuan rushed over again, and when she saw that I vomited like this, she was thin like this, and asked Liu Hong, "Hasn't the young grandmother eaten yet?" ”

Liu Hongliu knelt on the ground and cried, "No, but Mr. Mu came just now, and he poured some of the young lady." ”

Mrs. Yuan was so anxious that she circled around in front of my bed, and after a long time she looked at me and asked, "Qingye, tell your mother, how do you want to eat?" Even if you go through the toss, my grandson can't stand such a toss. She also wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief and said: "In the past, my mother was not good, can my mother compensate you for your crimes?" But now that the child is all there, and it is innocent, why do you blame him for all this? ”

I leaned back on the bed and sneered and asked, "Then who do you blame me for?" My eyes fell on her and I asked, "Do you blame you?" ”

Wang Heqing was a little afraid to look at me, she stiffened her neck for a long time before saying: "That thing is a mother's confusion, but you finally married into my Yuan family, isn't this step sooner or later?" ”

I smiled and said, "It's a matter of time, but it's not for Mrs. Yuan to use such despicable means. ”

She was so choked by me that she couldn't speak, if she had been talking to me in a torn face, if it weren't for the child in my belly, why would she still beg me so lowly.

She sighed and said, "Well, you tell me what to do before you can forgive my mother." ”

I said, "I'm never going to forgive you in my life." ”

When she heard this, her face turned cold, and she didn't say anything more, but walked out of my room.

In the next few days, Wang Heqing never came again, I still didn't eat anything, the willow and red catkins were so anxious that I didn't know what to do at night, Yuan Lin actually came to my room.

It was the first time he had come to my room since I found out I was pregnant, and I thought he would say the same thing to them. After a while, his first question was, "Is the child mine?" ”

Hearing his words, I didn't look at him, but soon, I turned my head to face him, and asked with a cold smile on the corner of my mouth: "It's not yours, who else will it be?" ”

Yuan Lin sneered and said, "Are you trying to transfer flowers and trees?" ”

I asked coldly, "What do you mean?" ”

Yuan Lin also said with a sneer on his face: "Lu Qingye, I know very well that this child is not mine, it must be you who are water-based poplars outside, and you have caused this evil debt, so I thought of a trick to transfer flowers and graft trees, so that I can raise this innocent evil seed for youβ€”β€”"

Yuan Lin hadn't finished speaking, "Smack! I slapped him in the face.

He looked stunned, and the maids came over with tea.

I pointed at him and said, "Get out of here." ”

He covered his face and looked at me.

I said, "I wish this child belonged to any adulterer outside me, and it wouldn't be yours, and you're too good at adding gold to your face, thinking that what kind of thing you are, and everyone wants to put it on you?" ”

He smiled and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then you can make it clear to everyone that this kid has nothing to do with me, and let everyone know what kind of rotten you are." ”

I was so angry that I couldn't speak for a long time, just looked at him.

At this time, Liu Wu suddenly saw something, and immediately called to the door: "Sir." ”

Mu Jingchi didn't know how long he had been standing at the door, but when I saw him, I quickly wiped the tears from my face and controlled my trembling body.

Yuan Lin saw that Mu Jing was late, and the expression on his face was quickly sorted out, so he quickly stood up, turned to Mu Jing Chi at the door, and called: "Brother-in-law." ”

Mu Jingchi ignored him, but walked in and looked at the maid and asked, "Miss, have you eaten?" ”

The maid shook her head in fear.

Mu Jingchi looked at Yuan Lin again and asked, "What are you arguing about at night?" ”

Yuan Lin was still a little afraid of Mu Jingchi, so his tone was no longer unreasonable before, and he explained in a low voice: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I quarreled with Qingye just now because of some other things." ”

Mu Jingchi looked at him for a long time and said, "She is petty, but Yuan Lin, you are a man, I don't want you to come here again to find her unhappy." ”

Yuan Lin did not speak.

Mu Jingchi sat down, took the tea handed over by the servant and said, "I haven't said much about you and your mother using such means, if you get an inch further, I don't know what to do." ”

Mu Jingchi opened the teacup and said, Ran Ran's heat rose in front of his face, making it difficult to see his face clearly, and it took him a long time before he said leisurely: "Then don't blame me for not being emotional." ”

Yuan Lin didn't speak, and Mu Jingchi didn't seem to want to see him, so he frowned and said, "Go down." ”

Yuan Lin replied yes, and didn't stay any longer, turned around and left my room.

When he saw me like this, he said, "Look at you, this little thing is so angry that it doesn't make any sense." ”

I said with red eyes, "He has insulted me repeatedly, don't I even want to be angry?" Deserve to be bullied by his Yuan family? ”

Mu Jingchi put down the teacup in his hand, shook my hand with a smile and said, "Who dares to bully you?" Weren't you a little bully at home before? ”

He stroked my hair and said, "Okay, don't be petty, eat something first?" ”

I pulled my hand back from his palm and said, "I won't eat, I don't have him." ”

When he saw me like this, he stopped persecuting me, but asked, "Then come with me to bed?" ”

I ignored him, but I glanced at the sunlight outside, and it was indeed just right, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. And after lying in bed for so many days, my body has long been in pain, my head is a little dizzy, and my chest is nauseous and I want to vomit.

Mu Jingchi knew that I didn't refuse, so he agreed, so he smiled and said to the willow red catkins on the side: "Change the clothes for Miss." ”

Liu Hong Liu Wu laughed and said, "Mr. still has a way." So he quickly went to the cupboard and got me clothes.

After the willow and red catkins changed for me, Mu Jingchi also wrapped a blanket on me. He said: "It's cold outside, so you still have to be careful of getting cold." ”

I didn't say anything, just followed him, he hugged me out of the door, then took me around outside, Mu Jingchi took me on a boat, there were a lot of snacks and my favorite pastries on the table of the boat, I saw it, my eyes lit up, but when I saw Mu Jingchi looking at me with a smile, I knew that he was now trying to lead me to eat.

I didn't eat it, so he helped me to the boat and found a chair to sit down, Mu Jingchi didn't lead me to eat, just poured a cup of tea for himself, took a book and said, "How about we sit in the center of the lake for half a day today?" ”

I didn't refuse, I really didn't want to see those annoying people and annoying things, so I hummed.

But who knew that after the boat was rowed to the center of the lake, Mu Jingchi ignored me, just blindly flipped through the book in the palm of his hand, I held my hand and stared at him boredly for a while, and the aroma of those snacks in front of me was like a small worm, drilling straight into my nose.

I got up a little impatiently, and walked two laps in it, and after two laps, I sat down again, and carefully pinched a small piece of pastry from the plate, I glanced at Mu Jingchi, saw that he didn't pay attention, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth, and the soft sweetness diffused behind the tip of his tongue.

I couldn't help it at all, and began to eat piece by piece, and when I was eating hard, Mu Jingchi beckoned to me and said, "Come here." ”

I looked at him, and he walked over, and he pulled me to his lap and sat down, took me in his arms, and wiped the crumbs of the pastry with his fingers and said, "Don't eat too much." ”

I was so wicked that I felt that I had fallen for his plan, and in a fit of anger, I pulled his hand off my face, put it to my mouth, and bit it down hard.

While biting, I also looked at him.

He looked at me with a smile as if he didn't know the pain, and I bit it for a while, and I felt bored, so I leaned on his shoulder and said, "What kind of book do you read?" ”

Mu Jingchi flipped through it with a smile and said, "Miscellaneous history." ”

I said it was boring, so I yawned and fell on his shoulder, but I didn't want to sleep for a while under the warm light, and my eyes glanced at the book in his hand from time to time.

I had a headache as soon as I read the book, so I curled up in his arms, found a good place and fell asleep in a daze, I don't know how long I slept, as soon as I opened my eyes, it was dark all around, I thought it was dark, who knew that Mu Jingchi's voice came from above through a layer: "Awake?" ”

I pulled the blanket over my head, revealing a pair of eyes, staring at him.

He smiled and pulled my hair a little messy and said, "Did you sleep well?" ”

I didn't speak, I felt a little cold, and I stuck it tighter in his arms, Mu Jingchi still maintained the action of holding me to read the book, after he didn't finish reading the miscellaneous history in his hand, I grabbed the button on his placket and played for a while, I wanted him to talk to me, so I reached out to grab his book, the first time I didn't catch it, and I went to grab it the second time, Mu Jingchi directly clasped my hand, pretended to look at me seriously and asked, "Messing around again?" ”

I didn't speak, I just pouted and shrank back, and he didn't let go of the hand that held my hand, but just kissed the back of his hand and said, "Good, obedient." ”

I could only retract his arms again, and fell asleep in a daze, and when I was listening to the sound of the water murmuring in my ears, I faintly heard the sound of a boat rowing towards us, and I raised my eyes and saw Liu Hong and Liu Wu.

When the boat of willow and red catkins was about to approach us, Mu Jingchi put down the book and let go of me, and I sat there in a proper manner.

Liu Fu smiled and said, "Sir, Mrs. Yuan sent us over to ask you when you and Miss will go back." ”

Mu Jingchi stood on the boat and said, "Let's go back." ”

The catkins didn't say much, and when they heard Mu Jingchi's response, they rowed back again, and our boat followed them closely.

The thought of going to meet them again made me feel a little disappointed, and my peaceful mood was swept away.

Mu Jingchi knew what I was thinking, touched my head and said, "I'll take you out to play next time." ”

I turned my head to look at him. Without speaking, he walked back to his chair and sat down.

After I went back, Mrs. Yuan was really waiting there, and it was not only Mrs. Yuan who was waiting, but also the old Chinese medicine doctor, who came to check the fetal image for me.

When Mrs. Yuan saw us coming back, she came over, grabbed me and said, "Oh, Qingye, why did you come back?" ”

Then Mrs. Yuan saw Mu Jingchi following me, so she smiled and said, "Jingchi, did you take Qingye out to play?" ”

Mu Jingchi replied lightly: "Take her out for a walk." ”

Mrs. Yuan saw that I was in a much better mood than before, and said with a smile: "Jingchi, you still have a way, Qingye, I just listen to you." ”

Mu Jingchi smiled lightly and did not speak.

After I sat down on the bed, the Chinese medicine doctor checked my body, and I was about to eat and drink enough. I didn't make a fuss, so I generously asked the old Chinese medicine doctor to check it, and he checked it for a while and said that my qi and blood were still a little deficient, and I was a little malnourished during this time.

Mrs. Yuan was anxious, and she asked, "Is there any way to recuperate?" ”

The old Chinese medicine doctor smiled and asked me, "Can I feel it, young grandmother?" ”

I leaned back on the bed and said, "I don't feel much other than I still want to throw up." ”

The old Chinese medicine doctor said, "You can't stop eating, because not only the child can't stand it, but you may not even be able to stand it." ”

I didn't speak, and the old Chinese medicine doctor said, "Now you don't feel anything, but when the child grows bigger and bigger in your belly, you will feel his heartbeat, and he is churning in your belly, communicating with you in his way, and being a mother is a wonderful experience." ”

Mrs. Yuan on the side seemed to think of something, she smiled and said: "I remember when I was a child, he was also in my belly, at that time I thought that it must be a little ancestor, I was born, I didn't think about it, it was true." ”

Seeing that he was just sitting on the sidelines, sprinkling fish food into the fish tank, his side face was empty and real.

At this time, Mrs. Yuan saw that Yuan Lin was standing aside and didn't speak, so she pushed him and said, "You're going to be a father, why do you look unhappy?" ”

Yuan Lin didn't speak, but said after a while: "Happiness doesn't have to be on your face. ”

When Mrs. Yuan saw this, she didn't pay attention to him, but asked the old Chinese medicine doctor some questions, and after the old Chinese medicine doctor answered them all, she told me some more, and they didn't bother me too much, and sat for a while and left.

Mu Jingchi was the last to leave, but before he left, he asked the catkins on the side to put the lotus flower of the new dish I had just eaten on the boat on the head of the bed, so that I could give birth to it.

After the house was gone, Liu Wu had just come back from putting the lotus flowers and was about to clean up the table, but who knew that when she stopped at the place where Mu Jingchi had sit, she was full of surprise and asked, "Huh?" How did all the fish in the tank die! ”

I walked down from the bed to see that the six fish in the fish tank, turning their white bellies on the surface of the water, were dying.

Liu Wu sighed a little pity, picked up the fish tank, and went out.

He has always had such a leisurely way to raise these things, but today, somehow, he started so heavily that he killed these fish, and I didn't care about it, and I didn't seem to be so resistant to conceiving this child in the next few days, and I gradually resumed my diet without Mu Jingchi.

My body also began to normalize, and I don't know how many days have passed like this. One day, when I was basking in the sun outside, catkins came over with a rabbit, saying that they were caught in the yard outside, I looked at the appearance of the rabbit, but remembered that this rabbit seemed to be the one I had asked Jasper to throw away, I didn't expect to see it for so long, it grew so fat, it was still as unafraid of people as when I was a child, after catkins handed it to my arms, it obediently stopped moving on its body.

I gently stroked its silky fur, and just wanted to ask the catkins if there was any food for the rabbit to taste, but the catkins had long since disappeared, and only Yuan Lin was standing there.

I knocked on him, didn't speak, just put the rabbit down, got up and wanted to leave, Yuan Lin tugged at my sleeve and said, "Let's talk." ”

I laughed and asked, "What else do we have to talk about?" ”

Yuan Lin said: "If you really want to give birth to this child. I don't mind, I'm going to treat him like my own, but you have to tell me who the father of this child is. ”

I twisted my eyebrows and looked at Yuan Lin, he also looked at me, and the two of us looked at each other and said, "You don't need to say more, since you don't admit this child, I won't let you admit it, I gave birth to it myself and raised it myself." ”

Yuan Lin said: "You still refuse to say? ”

I didn't expect Yuan Lin to be so despicable that he dared to do it, but he still suspected me of having an affair with others, what a joke.

I said, "I don't think there's much to say between us." ”

Yuan Lin said: "You say it's my child, that's my child, and I apologize for my previous remarks and you." ”

I looked at him, and he suddenly smiled and said, "The nest of rabbits raised in Dongyuan is almost old, do you want to go with me to take a look?" ”

I remember he did say before that he caught a litter of rabbits to raise. I didn't expect that they had all grown up, so I thought that if there was nothing to do, then there would be nothing to do, so I said to him, "Let's go." ”

I followed Yuan Lin to Dongyuan, in the shadow of the flowers in the grass, there were rabbits jumping and jumping, I walked over and grabbed one casually, and said with a smile: "These rabbits are all raised by you?" ”

Yuan Lin said: "Of course. ”

I said, "I didn't expect you to be decent." ”

Yuan Lin squatted down with me, and also picked up a rabbit and said, "When I was very young, I raised it all the time, and raised it for many years until it died." ”

His fingers stroked the rabbit's head gently, and his eyes were completely devoid of the usual anger.

I remember the first time I met him, he looked like a ruffian, very unpleasant, and I didn't expect him to be interested in these little rabbits.

I said, "Shouldn't people like you like guns, horses, and knives?" ”

"What kind of people are we?" Yuan Lin asked rhetorically and looked up at me.

I looked at his tough face, and I said, "Aren't soldiers just playing with knives and guns?" ”

He scoffed and said, "Sure enough, you still don't know me well." ”

I put the rabbit down and said, "We don't know each other, why should I know you." ”

Yuan Lin stood up with me and said behind me, "Do we still know each other now?" ”

I picked the flowers from the garden and said, "No. ”

Yuan Lin surrounded me and said, "Now the children in your belly are all mine, where are there people you don't know to have children together." ”

I straightened up and looked at him coldly, he seemed to realize something, and said with a smile: "Of course, it's not too late for us to get to know each other again." He held out his hand to me and said, "My name is Yuan Lin." ”

I cut it, ignored him, and continued to pick the flowers in my hand.

Yuan Lin and I didn't stay in the East Garden for long, and after I had enough flowers, the two of us went back together, and only then did we enter the courtyard, and we saw Mu Jingchi on the stone table in the courtyard, pouring tea, his plain white fingers holding bamboo tweezers, and cleaning the tea set skillfully and gracefully.

This time. Liu Wu suddenly came out of the house, saw us standing there, and called with a smile: "Miss." ”

Mu Jingchi heard Liu Fu's voice, so he followed her line of sight and looked at me, and he said with a smile: "Are you back?" As soon as the words fell, my eyes fell on Yuan Lin who followed behind me and the bouquet of flowers in my hand.

The catkins came over, and after I handed the bouquet in my hand to the catkins, I walked up, sat down in front of him and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

At this time, Yuan Lin also followed me, sat beside me, and called Mu Jingchi brother-in-law.

Mu Jing replied slowly, and when he saw my sweaty appearance, he asked, "Did you go out to play?" ”

I said, "I'm going to Dongyuan to see the rabbits raised by Yuan Lin." ”

Mu Jing didn't speak, handed me the tea he had just poured in his hand, and after I took it, I grunted it twice, then stretched out the quilt again and said, "I want more." ”

Mu Jingchi chuckled, poured another cup for me, and handed it to me.

At this time, he handed another cup to Yuan Lin and asked, "Has the situation in Changchi eased up recently?" ”

Yuan Lin was a little nervous and said: "Although there is relief, the city has been lost, and it will be difficult to get it back." ”

Mu Jingchi said with a smile: "Now that your Yuan family's strength has occupied a quarter of the entire world, why be afraid of a little Huo Changfan." ”

Yuan Lin smiled modestly.

After that, the two of them were talking about some war issues, I didn't understand too much, whether I wanted to listen or not, and I don't know how long it was, Steward Zhou suddenly came over and said to Mu Jingchi: "Sir, you have a letter." ”

Mu Jingchi put down the teacup in his hand, didn't stay long, got up and said a few words to me, and then left with Steward Zhou.

After he left, Yuan Lin asked me: "Why hasn't a character like your brother-in-law remarried?" ”

I didn't expect Yuan Lin to suddenly ask like this, I said, "Do you have to marry again?" ”

Yuan Lin said: "It's about him who loves your sister deeply." ”

I didn't speak, but vaguely replied, "Maybe." ”

During that time, Mu Jing never came to me again. I gradually began to learn to raise the fetus every day, and then honestly drink these black Chinese medicine, Yuan Lin will often come to accompany me, the relationship between the two of us, at present, is also said to be good or bad, bad is not bad, I just think it's really boring to be so noisy all day now, he wants to come, he will come, the child has half of him anyway.

Although I always suspected that I had never had a relationship with Yuan Lin before, and now that I have a child, everything naturally does not need to be said, but what I don't understand is why he always thinks that this child will be someone else's, and the time of pregnancy coincides with the events of that day, is there any fake?

This is what I have always been puzzled about, and gradually I have less contact with Mu Jingchi, and he no longer comes to visit me.

Almost half a month later, just as I was nesting in the room to embroider the child's belly pocket, Liu Wu suddenly asked: "Miss, you don't seem to have been to Mr. for a long time?" ”

Then I remembered that it seemed that this was the case, and he never came to me again, so I asked Liu Fu, "What is he busy with during this time?" ”

Liu Wu said: "I have never seen Mr. come out, and I rarely see him moving around during this time." ”

I said, "Then I'll see later." ”

In the afternoon, when I arrived at Mu Jingchi's courtyard, there was no one outside the hall, I called the maid in the house, and I didn't see the maid moving, so I walked along Mu Jingchi's bedroom, and just as the maid came out of it and said with a smile: "Mr. is in the study." ”

I walked towards the study again, he was taking a nap in the study, it was very quiet, Steward Zhou stood beside him, I stood at the door, he held his head with his hand, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Why are you here." ”

I didn't expect him to know I was coming before he opened his eyes, so I trotted in and said, "I haven't seen you in a long time." So come and see you. ”

He smiled and looked at me.

I immediately asked him, "Does it feel like my belly is round?" ”

Mu Jingchi looked at it seriously and said, "There haven't been too many changes. ”

I smiled and walked over to him and said, "But I already feel it." I touched my lower abdomen and said, "When I wake up in the morning, I always feel like he's churning in it." ”

Mu Jingchi smiled and said, "No matter how big it is, it will churn." ”

It was about because the light in the house was too dim, and he was afraid that I would fall, so he lit another one, and I found that the whole yard, including the study, was quiet and terrible.

Inexplicably, I remembered what Yuan Lin said to me before, he asked Mu Jingchi why he didn't marry anymore, although my life is noisy now, but I have a hope, but what about Mu Jingchi? It seems like I'm always alone, and sometimes when I walk here, I feel cold and panicked.

Just as I was thinking about it, Mu Jingchi asked, "I don't seem to have heard that you're going on a hunger strike recently, what's the matter?" Ready to accept this child? ”

He seemed to ask casually

I didn't even think about saying, "yes, it's amazing that you don't know." I pointed to my lower abdomen and said, "I can really hear his heart beating in my belly." ”

Mu Jingchi wiped his hands with a towel and said, "Come here, let me touch it." ”

I smiled and said, "Do you want to touch it?" So he quickly walked over and undressed my clothes, revealing my lower abdomen.

At this time, Steward Zhou coughed on the side, probably asking me to put down my clothes, I ignored him, and directly put Mu Jingchi's hand on my lower abdomen.

His dry, warm hand carefully covered it.

I asked him, "Do you feel it?" ”

He laughed and said, "It seems to have gained a lot of weight." ”

I smiled and said, "I'll be fatter in the future," Liu said, adding that when her sister was pregnant, her belly would swell the size of a ball. ”

I gestured twice, and he pulled my clothes down tightly: "It's going to be that big." ”

I said, "Won't that explode?" ”

When the maid who came in to deliver tea heard it, she burst out laughing.

Mu Jingchi twisted my nose and said with a smile: "I started talking nonsense again." ”

At this time, after the maid put down the teacup, she walked out again, I suddenly remembered something, so I straightened up for a moment, and called to Mu Jingchi: "Brother-in-law." ”

I called him so formally, his hand paused for tea, and then looked at me with a slight raised eyebrow.

I said, "Have you ever thought about marrying again?" ”

He looked at me for a while, then suddenly smiled and asked, "Why did you bring up this topic again, aren't you the person I am not allowed to marry?" ”

He lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, and I said, "I used to be naΓ―ve, but now that I've figured it out, maybe you need someone to accompany me?" ”

At this time, the smile on the corner of his mouth was retracted, and he asked me in a very faint voice: "Is it?" ”

I said, "Yes, I mean really, and you'll see how wonderful it is to have a child." "I didn't realize that he hadn't spoken in a long time, and the shadow was on his face so that he couldn't see it.

I continued: "Brother-in-law, do you remember that Wang Zhizhi? I really think she's good, she wrote to me some time ago, asking how you are doing, and said that when you have time, you will come to Chengde-"

Before I finished speaking, Mu Jingchi pinched the hand of the tea lid and put it the teacup, and he said in a slightly impatient tone, "Okay." Then, he no longer looked at me, but said to Steward Zhou, "I'm a little tired from sending her back." ”

I don't know which of my words is wrong, I made him so angry, I glanced at him, and didn't speak again for a long time, but Steward Zhou didn't come to ask me to leave, just waited on the side.

I lingered for a while and said, "I'm just doing it for your own good, nothing else." Then I was going out.

Mu Jingchi propped his head on his hands, rubbed his eyebrows gloomily and said behind me: "You should understand that there are some words that I don't want to hear from your mouth. ”

I paused for a moment, and Mu Jingchi said, "I will go back to Jinling tomorrow, and I have to take good care of myself here." ”

When I looked back, he stopped looking at me, but said again, "Go back." ”

I didn't expect him to leave so suddenly, but I felt that he didn't come here to stay here for a long time, and it didn't make sense for him to go back.

But I think it's still a little sudden?

Mu Jing was going back to Jinling late, and left the next day, Yuan Chengjun and Wang Heqing sent it over, but I didn't go out, it happened to be raining heavily in Chengde that day, and after the doctor checked my body, he said that the road was slippery on a rainy day, so I didn't want to go out and walk around, Mu Jing left early, so I couldn't catch up.

After Liu Wu came back, he told me that Mu Jingchi's car had already driven back to Jinling, and he would be able to arrive about tomorrow night.

In an instant, the entire courtyard seemed to be empty.

At night, when I was in a daze in the mirror, the catkins were moving the lotus flowers beside my bed, and I got up and asked puzzledly, "Why did you take this lotus away?" Isn't it still fresh? ”

Liu Wu said: "Mr. said that this weather is not suitable for lotus flowers, so he ordered to take them." ”

I didn't expect Mu Jingchi to tell these trivial things, I didn't speak anymore, so I let the catkins deal with it, but I couldn't smell the fragrance of lotus flowers at night, but I couldn't sleep, so I got up from the bed and walked casually, I don't know why I subconsciously walked to Mu Jingchi's door.

After he left, I thought that no one would live here, but I didn't expect that there was a small lamp in the house, and I don't know who lit it, I subconsciously pushed open the door and walked in, there was no one inside, I followed the light to the innermost study, the furnishings inside were still the same as when Mu Jingchi left, there was a pen and ink shelf on the table, and a lamp, as well as some calligraphy and paintings.

I casually flipped through the top, and turned out a figure painting from a pile of papers, which was mine, pressed at the bottom of the pile of calligraphy and paintings, which was from Mu Jingchi's handwriting, and then I continued to flip, and the rest were Mu Jingchi's essays, I looked at it for a long time, and I didn't know why I actually held his pile of calligraphy and paintings, and fell asleep in a daze on the bamboo collapse where he often lay down and read.

In a trance, I seemed to feel that he was back again, hugged me, smiled and asked, "Why are you sleeping here?" Then he wrapped me in a blanket, rubbed his fingertips twice on my eyebrows, and then he dropped a kiss on my eyelids.

But when I opened my eyes, there was no one but catkins around me.

The catkins accompanied me, and they didn't dare to speak, but they looked at me cautiously, and for a long time, I put down the calligraphy and painting in my arms, and said to the catkins: "Let's go." ”

The catkins helped me, but when I reached the door, I suddenly saw a dead rabbit lying on the lotus that the catkins had thrown out last night.

Liu Fu was puzzled and asked, "How can you die?" ”

I said, "Did you eat the wrong thing?" ”

The catkins also said very clearly: "Maybe I ate something I shouldn't eat at night." ”

We didn't care. When I got back to my room and was about to go to wash, I saw catkins holding the rabbit's carcass and seemed to be going to bury it.

I saw the rabbit's legs flick twice

I even said a word to Liu Wu, Liu Wu raised his eyes to look at me, and asked puzzledly, "Does Miss have other instructions?" ”

I said, "Don't bury it yet, it seems to be still angry." ”

Liu Fu glanced at the rabbit with some disbelief, and I didn't let her delay any longer, so I took the rabbit from Liu Wu's hand and asked her to quickly call the doctor.

The catkins didn't dare to delay, so they let out an oh and ran out quickly.

There was no veterinarian in the yard, so Liu Wu called a doctor to rush over, and the doctor checked for a while, and suddenly asked me, "What did she eat?" ”

I was about to say that I didn't know, but before I could say anything, I said, "It looks like eating a lotus?" I was a little uncertain and said, "Because when we saw it, it was lying on a lotus leaf." ”

The doctor said, "But are there those lotus leaves?" ”

I said, "Yes." ”

When the catkins came back, the doctor took them and sniffed them, and I was about to learn from him when they smelled them.

The doctor suddenly stopped me and asked, "I heard that Madame is pregnant?" ”

I subconsciously said, "Yes." ”

He quickly threw the lotus flowers and lotus leaves and said, "Poisonous." ”

I was surprised and asked, "What?" ”

The doctor said: "This is a kind of poison that can cause people to slip the fetus, but the weight in it is not heavy, and in the case of a small amount, it will have a somewhat calming effect." ”

The doctor asked, "How long has Madame been using this lotus?" ”

I said, "It's been a while." ”

The doctor said, "But for now, I can't guess whether this man is calming you or making you slip, but one thing is for sure, it won't hurt your life, and you'd better pay more attention." ”

Then he picked up the rabbit and said, "This rabbit is still saved, I will go and heal it first." ”

The doctor walked out of my room.

My whole body sat there stiffly, and there were only three words in my mind, Mu Jingchi.
