Chen Zhilian hesitated for a few seconds.

I straightened the silk handkerchief in my hand and asked him, "Why, can't you tell me?" ”

Chen Zhilian immediately said: "Zhilian definitely doesn't mean this, second aunt." ”

I smiled and said, "If you don't mean that, then say it." ”

"It's ......," he hesitated.

I simply leaned back on the couch in a different position: "What's this?" Does Commissioner Chan think I don't have the right to listen? ”

Chen Shulian said: "Auntie, don't misunderstand me, I have never thought about you in this regard, but the matter is very tricky, and I have to go to Mr. Mu for instructions, so I ......"

I said, "It's nothing, just say, I'll call you later, and if you have to wait, then I can tell you, even if you wait until ten o'clock in the evening, they may not be able to come back." I looked at him a few times and smiled and said, "Of course, if Director Chen has time to waste here, I naturally don't mind." ”

I got up from the sofa and was about to walk upstairs, but at this time, Chen Zhilian, who was standing there, still said in time: "Auntie, please stay, or please call for me." ”

I stopped in an instant, looked back at him, and for a long time sat back with a smile and said, "Say." ”

This time, Chen Zhilian did not hesitate any longer, but said to me: "That's the case, it's about Assistant Wang, it's only a few days before the day of her execution, but she has been unwell in prison for the past few days, I came this time to ask Mr. Mu, in such a situation, whether to still use the cane, in this case, I am afraid that Assistant Wang's body will not be able to hold ......."

I asked lightly, "I'm afraid it won't be able to survive?" ”

Chen said: "Yes. ”

I looked at the nails on my hands and said, "Nothing else but these?" ”

Chen said: "No. ”

I got up from the couch and said, "Okay, I'll give you a call and ask." I picked up the phone on the side, shook a string of numbers, and after the number was dialed, it was answered by the person on the other end, it was a maid who answered, and I even smiled and said, "Is it the presidential palace?" I'm looking for Mr. Mu. ”

The girl on the phone didn't speak, she was silent, and after a while, someone on the other end of the phone answered, and I said on the phone: "Director Chen is here, and said let me ask you, how to deal with Wang Shuyi's matter, she has been unwell for the past two days, can she be given a cane according to the original day." ”

I listened carefully for a while, about two or three minutes, I put down the phone, looked at Director Chen and said, "He said, how it was originally decided, it was decided, but-" I stopped talking here, and Chen Jilian looked at me.

I sat down on the couch and said, "I need to take a day." ”

Chen asked, "What?" Mention the day? ”

I nodded and said, "Well, mention the day." ”

Chen Zhilian looked at me puzzled.

I said, "The day after tomorrow is the birthday of the Buddha, and it is not appropriate to kill on that day, and the people of the whole city all eat fasting and worship the Buddha, so he will let you go forward the day." ”

Chen Zhilian frowned and said, "One day in advance, isn't that day tomorrow?" ”

I said, "That's right." ”

Chen Dilian hissed for a while, he was still hesitating.

I smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" Questions? ”

Although Chen Zhilian was still hesitating, but I made a phone call in front of him just now, I naturally wouldn't lie about it, so he said to me: "My subordinates understand, I will do what Mr. Mu tells me, I really bothered my aunt when I came here today." ”

I leaned there and smiled and said, "Why, this is my obligation, and it's not a big deal to help you ask." ”

Chen Zhilian raised his hand at me and said, "Then Zhilian will not bother my aunt, and I will leave first." ”

I said to Chun'er on the side, "Chun'er, you go and send Director Chen." ”

Chun'er immediately said on the side: "Yes." After that, Chen Zhilian was sent away from the happy hall.

After Chun'er came back, the phone that I put down rang again, I picked it up, put it in my ear and fed it, Gu Huizhi's voice came from the other end of the phone, she asked on the phone: "What were you doing just now, what presidential palace, what Director Chen?" ”

I smiled and said, "I didn't just borrow your number and use it." I smiled and changed the subject and asked, "How's that?" Can children grow well now? ”

Gu Huizhi said with a smile: "Don't say it, after you left, you were willing to eat very much, she was not fat, but she ate me fat." ”

I said, "Now is the time for you to breastfeed, so naturally you need to eat more." ”

Gu Huizhi smiled on the other end of the phone and said, "Okay, she is full of food and drink, and I, ah, have raised myself with a body of fat." ”

Speaking of this, Gu Huizhi seemed to remember something, she paused for a few seconds, and then said, "By the way, why didn't you go to see Xiao Yu'er that day?" Do you know that he came to see you and didn't see that you were disappointed? ”

Gu Huizhi asked about this matter, but I didn't speak.

Gu Huizhi saw that I didn't speak, so he asked, "What's wrong?" But don't like that kid anymore? ”

I said, "Maybe it was the wrong choice for me to adopt him in the first place, because I couldn't afford to give him a home." ”

Gu Huizhi said: "Qingye, what I mean by saying these words is not to dislike Xiao Yu'er, or to let you take him back, but sometimes I don't understand, why can't you take Xiao Yu'er with you?" This child and his well-behaved and smart are liked by everyone, and they don't make trouble, you have settled in the Mu family now, and you haven't given birth to a child yet, why don't you take Xiao Yu'er over? ”

I don't understand what Gu Huizhi said, it's just that there are some things, if you can't do it, don't give him hope, although he is still just a child, but the child values commitment more than adults, I can't grow up with him, I adopted him at the beginning, it was just my temporary love and fun, and now, obviously, it is impossible for me to bring him to the Mu family in this situation.

I smiled and said to Gu Huizhi: "No matter what, I still have to ask you to take care of this child for me, or if you take his son, I won't have any opinion." ”

Gu Huizhi saw that I still didn't mean to take Xiao Yu'er away, so she could only sigh and say, "Okay, I don't know what you think in your heart, since you want to put him here, I will do my best to raise him for you, anyway, our family can still afford to raise a child." ”

I smiled and said, "Then please." ”

Just as the two of us were talking, a car suddenly stopped outside, I thought it was Mu Jingchi who came back with Wang Zhizhi, so I hurriedly said to Gu Huizhi: "Okay, I won't tell you more, it's not convenient for me now, I'll talk to you later." ”

As soon as I hung up the phone and looked outside, I found that it was not Mu Jingchi and Wang Zhizhi who came from the car, but a maid of the Mu family, she walked straight inside, and after arriving at my side, she smiled and said: "Auntie, the Huo family is very happy today, and Mrs. Huo asked me to come and pick you up for dinner." ”

When I heard this, I asked, "Didn't they pass?" Why, you came back to pick me up. ”

The maid said, "It was specially ordered by Mrs. Huo." ”

I frowned and asked, "Mrs. Huo?" ”

I have only had a few encounters with Huo Changfan, and I am naturally even more unfamiliar with his wife, and I don't know why someone would be sent to pick me up as a concubine on such an occasion today.

Seeing that I was still sitting there and not moving, the maid hurriedly urged: "Hurry up, the banquet is about to start over there." ”

Chun'er also persuaded on the side: "Miss, go upstairs and clean up and make it prettier." ”

Hearing Chun'er's words, I smiled, put down the fish food box in my hand, glanced at it and asked, "What's the matter?" Dressed up in the past beauty pageant? ”

Chun'er retorted in a low voice: "I didn't say that you should go to the beauty pageant, but it is an important occasion over there, so you should dress up carefully." ”

How could I not know Chun'er's thoughts, I was already a concubine, and I didn't have my share in such an important occasion, if I didn't dress up beautifully, I guess walking in the middle of the hall, no one would pay attention to me. I've never been interested in these, and it's not my style to compete for the limelight, so when I returned to the room, I just picked out a random dress and put it on my body, didn't even put on makeup, put on my hair in a bun, and left from Mu's house with Chun'er.

I have never been to the Huo Mansion, nor have I seen Mrs. Huo, when I arrived there, it was the most lively stage of the banquet, everywhere were some celebrities walking around in the Huo family hall with champagne, there was a melodious piano sound in the hall, everywhere I went, there was a beautiful shadow of clothes, staggered, many Jinling magnates and political figures, with their own ladies to participate in this banquet, all of them were carefully dressed, but I was dressed in white, like a maid in the hall with plates.

Chun'er expected this to be the result, so she glanced at me and said, "You didn't believe it at the beginning, but now what?" Regret it, right? ”

I don't care very, others don't notice me, but I'm happy, and if it weren't for Mrs. Huo personally sent someone to invite, this kind of banquet, I wouldn't be too lazy to come, I was about to ask where the maid Mrs. Huo who came to pick me up before was there, at this time the crowd suddenly walked straight towards us A person came straight to us, also dressed as a maid, but not the maid of the Mu family, it was the maid of the Huo family, she seemed to have been waiting for me for a long time, and when she arrived at me, she smiled and said: "Second aunt, you are here." ”

This maid should be the maid next to Mrs. Huo, because of her dress, she is still very different from the maid serving in the hall, and her makeup is one level higher.

I smiled and said to the maid, "What about your wife?" ”

He said politely, "My wife has been waiting for you for a long time." She made a gesture of please to me and said, "Please come with me over here." ”

I smiled, and followed behind the maid, who led us through the hall, and walked not far, and saw a lot of people standing in a corner, and the woman with a child stood in the corner, who was almost forty years old, with a graceful and dignified face, and an extraordinary temperament, and looked around a lot of official wives, compared to the woman was Mrs. Huo.

I followed the maid towards that side, and when I reached the crowd, I bowed to the woman and said, "Qingye, meet Mrs. Huo." ”

As soon as I said this, the woman quickly took the child to the maid beside her, and immediately came to me and supported me and said, "Why do you have to give such a big gift, how can I afford it?" ”

She also saw me for the first time, stared at my face for a long time, she smiled and said: "Oh, it turned out to be such a beautiful little girl, I thought that the second aunt of the Mu family was too old, no wonder Mr. Mu is so well protected, I have only seen you so far, my parents have praised your beauty in front of me several times, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today." ”

Originally, the people around were still speculating about who could make the president's wife receive him so ceremoniously, but when they heard that I was Mu Jingchi's second aunt, those eyes became a little ambiguous.

After all, the relationship between me and Mu Jingchi is too complicated, and it's no wonder that these people next to me look at me like this, I can only try to pretend that I didn't see it, but I smiled very politely and said to Mrs. Huo: "I should have come to congratulate me in person today, but I was really a little unwell these days, so I didn't come with me, and let Mrs. Huo come over in person to invite, it's really not right for Qingye." ”

Mrs. Huo is very gentle, she smiled softly and said: "How can you say something like this between you and me, Jing Chi and Changfan have been friends for many years, you are his wife, and we are equivalent to a concubine, so you don't need to be so polite." ”

She saw that there were a lot of people around, and they all looked at me, she took my hand and didn't let go, but said to the maid who brought me over, "Qiu'er, take good care of your wives here." She looked at me and said, "Follow me." ”

led me out of the hall, I don't know how this Mrs. Huo would treat me so well, which made me feel a little flattered, plus a little confused, I glanced at Chun'er, Chun'er also looked at me, she didn't expect such a situation, but it was obviously impossible to leave, Chun'er could only follow me, and I could only follow Mrs. Huo forward.

When we had finally left the noisy environment of the hall, Mrs. Huo led me to a quiet pavilion in the garden, where two maids were waiting, and when they saw us coming, they saluted us, and poured tea for us with a teapot.

Mrs. Huo was very easy-going, she smiled at me and said, "Sit casually, don't be too restrained, if it weren't for the fact that we are of the same generation, you would be the one who wants to call me a sister." She looked at me, the love in her eyes was revealed, and she said, "Sure enough, it's a crystal person, so well-behaved, no wonder Jing Chi hurts on the tip of her heart." ”

Hearing Mrs. Huo's words, I didn't speak, but just kept smiling.

After the maid poured the tea, Mrs. Huo took the teacup, handed it to me herself, and said, "Drink tea." ”

I hurriedly took it with both hands.

Mrs. Huo smiled and asked me, "Your name is Qingye, right?" ”

I held the cup, nodded lightly and said, "The surname is Lu." ”

When she heard Lu's letter, she frowned slightly, and she probably knew a little about the relationship between Mu Lu's two families, and soon, she asked gently: "Do you know what the relationship between Jing Chi and Changfan is?" ”
