Regarding Zeng Yanfang's question, Mu Jingchi said with a smile: "This kind of thing depends on her physical arrangement, she is just right now, I don't want her to be too tired, maybe the things that were originally arranged need to be re-planned." When Mu Jingchi said this, he hooked his lips and said: "However, if Zhizhi's body recovers in the future, before he recovers, he can do everything in the Mu family, I naturally hope that everything will be the same." ”

When the royal father and queen mother heard this, they said: "Jingchi, Zhizhi is just a woman who hasn't read much, she has a gentle temperament, no better than her sister's, the Mu family has such a big burden, how can she afford it, I think it's still-"

The words of the royal father and queen mother were not finished, Zeng Yanfang immediately interrupted her and said: "Aunt didn't say that, Mr. Mu would hand over the Mu family to Zhizhi to bear before, which proves that Zhizhi does not lack this talent, she wants to bear it, and naturally she can afford it, and Mr. Mu is also very weak now, unable to supervise the Mu family, Feng'er is young, and now only Zhizhi can share it for the Mu family." Zeng Yanfang sighed and said: "Although it is a little bitter, after all, she is a woman, who doesn't want to be a rich wife at home every day, but now in such a situation, Zhizhi must bear all this." ”

When the royal father and queen mother heard Zeng Yanfang say this, it was not easy to speak, Zeng Yanfang naturally asked Mu Jingchi while the iron was hot: "Mr. Mu, what you said about me makes sense?" ”

Mu Jingchi smiled and said, "Naturally, there is. He looked at the royal father and queen mother again, and reassured him: "Second elder, don't worry, I will be measured in this matter." ”

They are old, so naturally they can't care about this aspect of things, what the young people say, how they old people naturally listen, and the second elder has no extra way except to nod.

After the maid put the dishes together, Mu Jingchi personally laid the dishes for the second elder, Zeng Yanfang also sat down, she sat next to me, and the dinner table was soon happy again.

During this process, I was immersed in my meal.

When I finally had my stomach filled, I put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said with a smile to everyone at the table, "Slow down, everyone." ”

He got up and retired from the table.

Zeng Yanfang saw that I ran out so quickly, so she put down the chopsticks in her hand and asked with a smile, "Miss Lu, don't eat more?" Is it enough to eat so much? You must not be polite, just treat this as your own home, and we are not outsiders, so why be so restrained? ”

What she said was polite on the surface, but when she listened carefully, she didn't hear the right taste, restrained, outsiders, her own family? Polite?

I laughed and said nothing, and when the Wang couple heard this at this time, they were a little embarrassed, so they hurriedly played the round and said, "Yanfang, Miss Lu is not an outsider, how can you say that." ”

Zeng Yanfang pretended not to understand and asked: "Auntie, I didn't say that Miss Lu is an outsider just now, because she is not an outsider, I will leave her to sit down and eat more, if it is someone else, I am afraid I will ignore it." ”

Zeng Yanfang's words made the second elder a little unsure of how to reply.

The chrysanthemum waiting behind me could only focus on Mu Jingchi, probably hoping that he would be able to say something at this time, after all, this Zeng Yanfang's words were getting more and more excessive day by day.

But Mu Jingchi did not feel that Zeng Yanfang's words were excessive, as Ju Xiang expected, but instead reprimanded me and asked: "The elders are not used yet, how can the younger generations leave the table early, have you forgotten the table manners?" ”

Zeng Yanfang was very proud of Mu Jingchi's reaction, she put down the chopsticks in her hand, picked up the teacup on the table, and looked at Ju Xiang with a provocative face.

However, the smugness on her face didn't last for two seconds, and the next second, Mu Jingchi said that Mrs. Dai Zeng Yanfang was drinking tea.

She looked at Mu Jingchi.

Mu Jingchi didn't seem to notice the sudden change of expression on her face, and still maintained a decent smile on her face and said: "Qingye doesn't understand the rules, it may make Mrs. Dai laugh, and please don't worry about her." ”

Although Mu Jingchi has not had much contact with Zeng Yanfang, even if they meet, they will still politely call their cousin-in-law, although there are not many times like this, and they have never used the word Mrs. Dai.

She thinks that she is the Wang family and the Mu family, but even if she is given her husband's surname, she seems to be 108,000 miles away from the two surnames of the Wang family and the Mu family.

These three simple words made Zeng Yanfang's cheeks red.

She couldn't refute anything, so she had to bear it, after all, Mu Jingchi called Mrs. Dai and let people catch her, but as soon as Mu Jingchi's three words came out, it made her just say a little like a clown.

Mu Jingchi didn't say anything when she saw her for a long time, still as if she didn't know the change in Zeng Yanfang's mood, and asked again: "What's the matter, Mrs. Dai, did I say anything wrong just now?" ”

Zeng Yanfang immediately laughed dryly twice and said, "No, no, Mr. Mu's words are right, how can an elder of mine worry about Miss Lu." ”

Mu Jingchi smiled reluctantly at her face, and didn't continue to say, it was to save her some face, and then he frowned at me standing there and said, "Okay, since you've finished eating, let's go upstairs to rest, anyway, you haven't been a person who understands the rules." ”

Ju Xiang saw that Zeng Yanfang was deflated, she was very proud, and she also provoked her back with her eyes.

Mu Jingchi and the royal father and queen mother didn't look at us anymore, so I naturally took Juxiang upstairs, regardless of how white and blue Zeng Yanfang was sitting there.

When I returned to the room, Ju Xiang was holding her stomach and laughing, probably thinking that Zeng Yanfang's reaction just now made her feel very happy, she couldn't stop laughing at all, Sister-in-law Gui was preparing pajamas for me in the bathroom, she heard Ju Xiang laughing so exaggeratedly, so she immediately walked out of the bathroom, looked at Ju Xiang and asked, "What makes you smile like this?" ”

Ju Xiang must have been unable to help it, but when she was about to open her mouth to answer Sister-in-law Gui, her eyes still glanced at me first, and I had already walked to the dresser with my hair scattered, and seeing that I didn't stop it, she dared to tell Sister-in-law Gui what happened just now from beginning to end, word for word, and also focused on describing Zeng Yanfang's face.

Sister-in-law Gui heard Ju Xiang say so much to her, naturally she couldn't hold back her laughter, but she didn't laugh as exaggerated as Ju Xiang, and after casually talking a few words about Zeng Yanfang with Ju Xiang, she casually found something and sent Ju Xiang downstairs.

After Ju Xiang left, Sister-in-law Gui walked to the door and closed the door, then walked towards me, probably to say to me.

I was combing my hair in front of the mirror, and when I saw Sister-in-law Gui coming behind me, I whispered, "Sister-in-law Gui, do you want to mention that incident to me again?" ”

Sister-in-law Gui stood behind me and didn't deny it, her eyes fell on me in the mirror for a long time, and then she said: "I'm a subordinate, so naturally I don't have the right to decide Miss's decision, Sister-in-law Gui wants to talk about the things over there in Jiangnan Pavilion." ”

I didn't speak, just quietly put down the mahogany comb in my hand.

Sister-in-law Gui said again: "Just now the maid over there called and said that the child has been seriously ill since he left your room that day, and now he is not well, I want to ask if you want to go over to visit." ”

I really haven't asked about Xiao Yu'er's situation in the past few days, so I don't know if it's true or false for Sister-in-law Gui to say that Xiao Yu'er is sick, I just think that Sister-in-law Gui is trying to ease the relationship between us and find such an excuse.

I sat there with a blank face and said, "Since you are sick, you have to go to the doctor, and it is useless to tell me, and I have no relationship with him, so you have no reason to come and talk to me about this." ”

I grabbed my comb and continued to comb my hair.

Sister-in-law Gui was a little disappointed, probably in response to me, she stood behind me and sighed, then shook her head, and looked helpless to leave.

I looked at the distant back of Sister-in-law Gui in the mirror, and continued to sit there calmly arranging her hair.

The next day, the royal father and the queen mother did not come to my room to find me as agreed, I don't know what caused them not to come, I waited for them in the room in the morning, and in the afternoon, I didn't wait any longer, but went down to hug, but before I got downstairs, there was a sentence behind me: "The grievances between us, we will solve them, and involve this kind of thing on my parents, Lu Qingye, don't you think you are despicable?" ”

When I heard this, I looked back, and Wang Zhizhi was standing behind me, supported by her cousin-in-law Zeng Yanfang, and the two of them stood upstairs and looked condescendingly at me standing downstairs.

I didn't expect her to get better so quickly, to wake up so long, and now she can get out of bed and walk around.

I have already guessed the reason why the royal father and queen mother did not come, probably because the bracelet I gave them was seen by Wang Zhizhi, so the second elder did not come to my room to inquire about Wang Heqing's news under Wang Zhizhi's interference.

Regarding Wang Zhizhi's words, I smiled and said: "Sister, don't get me wrong, the grievances between us, I have never involved your family, I let them come to my room, but there are some things I want to explain to them." ”

Wang Zhizhi sneered: "Confess? What do you want to confess? Confess my sister's death? Explain what I did? ”

I said, "Sister dares to do such a thing, don't you dare to do it?" ”

Wang Zhizhi's face turned pale with anger at my words, and she said in a sharp voice: "Don't talk to me about this, if it weren't for you, would all this happen?!" She raised her trembling arm, then pointed at me and said, "Lu Qingye, I have to settle this account with you after all, you wait, sooner or later one day I will break your body into ten thousand pieces." ”

I didn't have the slightest fear of her words, but stood there and smiled at her Yingying and said, "So, I'm here to wait for my sister?" ”

Zeng Yanfang stood next to Wang Zhizhi and said, "You don't have to be proud here!" You're just a slut with a mother and no mother, how long can you jump? When Mu Jingchi died, you were a pheasant who had lost his protection, I think at that time, did you dare to be so arrogant. ”

I don't know why, I actually laughed, and said to Zeng Yanfang with a smile: "Miss Dai, I know that you and your cousin have been waiting for this kind of thing for a long time, but you are the first to be able to say this kind of thing like you, unabashedly." ”

Zeng Yanfang heard me call her Miss Dai, and probably remembered what happened at the dinner table yesterday, when she was so angry that she was about to scold me, Wang Zhizhi actually opened her mouth at this time and scolded: "Cousin! ”

This sentence of cousin-in-law shocked Zeng Yanfang, her body shook suddenly, and she immediately turned her head to look at Wang Zhizhi.

Wang Zhizhi warned her: "Don't be here to be unobstructed, this is no better than the Wang family, if this kind of words reach the ears of the people around Jing Chi, even I can't save you." ”

Zeng Yanfang was still a little afraid of Wang Zhizhi, seeing her warning like this, she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to bow her head and listen.

Wang Zhizhi saw that Zeng Yanfang didn't speak, so she fell on me again, she stood in the corridor on the second floor, smiled coldly at me, and then didn't stay long, and then took Zeng Yanfang from the corridor on the second floor above.

When she was gone, I stood there for a short moment, then turned and continued downstairs.

However, as soon as I arrived in the center of the living room downstairs, a car was parked outside the door, and a person got out of the car, and it turned out to be Shi Xinlan again, and she walked towards the hall of the Mu family.

The maids followed her, and when Shi Xinlan walked up to me, she stopped, looked at me, greeted me with a smile as usual, and called, "Qingye." ”

I didn't expect her to come over at this time, so I naturally replied with a smile: "Mrs. Huo." ”

She stood in front of me with her maid and said with a smile, "I'm here to visit Zhizhi." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Zhizhi's maid immediately walked downstairs, probably to welcome Shi Xinlan.

When Shi Xinlan saw Wang Zhizhi's maid coming down, she didn't say much to me, smiled at me, and then she followed Wang Zhizhi's maid upstairs.

After she left, I sat down on the sofa, Sister-in-law Gui was busy in the kitchen, when she came out, she saw me sitting on the sofa and flipping through magazines, so she walked towards me, but after she arrived at me, she saw the Huo family's car at the gate, and asked me: "Then Mrs. Huo is here again?" ”

I said, "Go upstairs and see Wang Zhizhi." ”

Sister-in-law Gui didn't speak, she was silent for a long time, and then asked me, "What do you want to eat, Sister-in-law Gui will make it for you." ”

I said, "A cup of coffee, these days I have been drinking herbal tea that lowers the fire, and it makes my mouth bitter, and there is no taste at all." ”

When Sister-in-law Gui heard me say this, she naturally immediately answered yes and went to the kitchen to make me coffee.

After Sister-in-law Gui brought out the coffee, she handed it to me and said, "I put a lot of sugar on you." ”

I hummed and took it from Sister-in-law Gui's hand, but Sister-in-law Gui's eyes fell upstairs from time to time and asked, "Mrs. Huo hasn't come down yet?" ”

I said, "What do you care about her?" ”

Sister-in-law Gui said: "Madame has a good relationship with Mrs. Huo. ”

Seeing Sister-in-law Gui say this, I smiled and said nothing, and continued to flip through the magazine in my hand and drink coffee.

However, a cup of coffee was not finished, the two elders of the Wang family seemed to have come back from a walk outside, both of them usually have the habit of taking a walk in the afternoon, the two elders were talking and came in from outside, and they seemed to be in a good mood, but when they found out about my presence on the sofa, the smiles on their faces stiffened at the same time. Mr. Wang's first reaction was to pull his wife in the direction of the side hall, as if he wanted to bypass me and go to the room where they were.

Seeing that they were avoiding me like this, I put down the coffee cup and magazine in my hand, then got up from the sofa, smiled behind them and said, "Mrs. Wang, Mr. Wang, don't you really want to know the news of Mrs. Yuan?" ”

When the two of them heard my words, they stopped again, they did not look back at me at the first time, but stood there silent for a while, Wang Zhizhi's father turned his head to me first, and he said to me: "Miss Lu, thank you very much for handing back my eldest daughter's bracelet to us yesterday, but we have news of her, so I won't trouble you." ”

I said, "You have?" ”

She immediately smiled and said, "Yes, there is." ”

I smiled and asked, "Can you tell me, how did you suddenly have news of Mrs. Yuan?" ”

Mr. Wang said: "Heqing wrote us a letter a month ago, because Zhizhi has been in a coma, so this letter has not been able to reach us, but yesterday Zhizhi gave it to us, and after we read the letter, we basically know where Heqing went." ”

I guessed that there was Wang Zhizhi's intervention here, but I didn't expect her to play such a trick, I don't know why, I really sympathized with her parents, and they were so held in the palm of their hands by their little daughter to conceal it.

When the second elder said this, he didn't say anything more to me, and Mrs. Wang said goodbye to me, and then took her husband and left.

After they left, Sister-in-law Gui stood beside me and said, "Madam, you really dare to do anything." ”

I said: "What does she dare not do, she even dares to kill Wang Heqing, this kind of thing naturally dares to hide, but I want to see how long she can hide it." ”

Sister-in-law Gui said: "Sooner or later, it will be known one day, this kind of thing can't be hidden for long." ”

I didn't speak.

Just as I was pondering, there were footsteps upstairs again, Shi Xinlan had already come down from upstairs after visiting Wang Zhizhi, she smiled at me again, I also gave her a smile, I thought that the two had said hello, and it would be enough, but who knew that Shi Xinlan took the initiative to come to me and talk to me, and asked me if I was free during this time.

I was surprised that she would talk to me for the second time today, after all, she had always nodded and smiled.

In response to her words, I smiled and said, "Mrs. Huo is in trouble?" ”

She said, "You haven't been to our house for a long time, so if you have time, you can go and sit?" ”

I didn't refuse, but I didn't agree, but said with a smile: "When I'm free, I'll definitely go over to visit Mrs. Huo and Mr. Huo." ”

She smiled and said yes, and did not stay any longer, but nodded at me as a farewell, and then left with the maid in front of us.

After getting in the car and walking away, Sister-in-law Gui also felt very strange and asked, "What's wrong with Mrs. Huo today?" How polite to you? ”

I chuckled and said, "I don't know, I don't know what medicine is sold in the gourd." ”

After Shi Xinlan left, I didn't stay in the hall downstairs for long, and soon returned to the room.

At nine o'clock the next morning, when I was about to go to the restaurant from my room, I found that at the gate, Mu Jingchi was being helped by Assistant Yu to get into the car, as if he was going out.

Mu Jingchi hasn't been out for a long time, and I haven't seen him go out since he came back from Shengzhou.

He went out so early this morning?

I asked Ju Xiang on the side, "Do you know what Mr. is going to do this morning?" ”

Ju Xiang obviously didn't know, but soon, she said, "Why don't I ask the rest of the maids later?" ”

Hearing her say this, I thought about it for a while, and said, "Come back and tell me when you ask." ”

Ju Xiang nodded, and after she helped me to the restaurant, she left the restaurant.

After she left, Sister-in-law Gui came in from the kitchen with breakfast, and I drank a glass of orange juice first, but after drinking a glass, Ju Xiang came back very quickly, and when she came to me, she whispered; "Miss, I heard that something happened to Jiangnan Pavilion."

Sister-in-law Gui and I looked at Ju Xiang at the same time and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Ju Xiang hid anxiety between her eyebrows, as if she didn't dare to say anything to me.

When Sister-in-law Gui saw her like this, she hurriedly urged; "You mean! What the hell is going on. ”

Ju Xiang was forced by the sight of the two of us, she thought for a long time, and finally said to us: "I heard that Jiangnan Pavilion lost a child, who lost it, the slave and maid don't know now, I only know that Mr. heard the news this morning, so he hurriedly went out." ”

Hearing that the child was lost, Sister-in-law Gui and I glanced at each other at the same time.

I immediately asked Ju Xiang, "Who did you get from in the hall?" ”

Ju Xiang said: "I asked Sister Xiao Xiu'er, and asked her who she lost, so she didn't tell me." ”

I don't know why, I always feel a bad premonition, who did I lose to make Mu Jingchi so excited to go out?

Xiaoyuer or Chun'er? Or did Xiao Yu'er really run away on his own?

No, no, no, it can't be, he shouldn't really do such a thing, after all, he is not too young to really do such an impulsive thing.

Could it be Chun'er?

Thinking of this, this bad premonition became stronger and stronger.

I immediately got up from the chair, I didn't even have the mood to eat breakfast, paced and immediately walked towards the living room, I arrived at the sofa and picked up the phone, and immediately dialed the phone from Jiangnan Pavilion.

But when the call was called, there was no answer, and I felt more and more that something was wrong, something had never happened before.

I immediately said to Ju Xiang: "Go prepare the car immediately, I want to go to Jiangnan Pavilion." ”

After hearing this, Ju Xiang turned around and walked out, Gui Sister-in-law also walked outside with me, when the car came, I was about to get in the car, Gui Sister-in-law immediately grabbed me and said, "Miss, do we want to wait for the news?" You didn't even eat breakfast. ”

I said to Sister-in-law Gui, "No, I have to go over and see, no matter who loses it, I won't be at ease." ”

I immediately pulled Sister-in-law Gui's hand and got into the car, Sister-in-law Gui was about to get in the car with me, but at this time, a maid ran out of the living room in the back, as if she was looking for Sister-in-law Gui to have something.

Sister-in-law Gui didn't get out, so our car drove away from the gate of Mu's house, and Ju Xiang sat in the car with me.

After the car went all the way down the mountain, Ju Xiang saw that I had not spoken, so she comforted me and said: "Miss, don't worry too much, there shouldn't be much of a problem, there are many guards over there in Jiangnan Pavilion, and even if it is lost, we can find it in Jinling." ”

I didn't respond to Juxiang's words, and my eyes were just fixed on the driver, hoping that he would drive faster.

However, I stared at the driver for a long time, only to find that he did not choose the nearest road to Gangnam Pavilion, but chose the farthest road.

I felt a little strange and asked Ju Xiang, "The driver is new here?" ”
