Wang Zhizhi shrank a little, Mu Jingchi's eyes made her look a little flustered, and he whispered: "If you don't want people to see what you think in your heart, don't use such inferior means to expose yourself, what am I thinking, I know very well in my heart." ”

This sentence made Wang Zhizhi's face instantly difficult to see, what did she want to explain, Mu Jingchi glanced at me, didn't say anything, got up and left the dining table with displeasure.

Wang Zhizhi sat there for a long time, her face went from embarrassing to embarrassed, and then from embarrassed to not speaking.

I saw that no one touched the things on the table, so I picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched the nearest plate of spring bamboo shoots, but after eating a few bites, I only felt that it was so salty that it was difficult to speak, and put down the ebony chopsticks in my hand, wiped the corners of my lips with a napkin, and then got up and left the table, leaving Wang Zhizhi sitting alone.

What is she thinking, everyone knows that she wants to say kiss for me, then of course I am happy to accept it, looking at her such an aggrieved appearance, I actually feel very happy. She probably didn't expect Mu Jingchi to reply to her like this, and her identity as the mistress of the Mu family, which she had carefully piled up in front of me, was shattered in such a vulnerable way.

Who is she? He even wanted to meddle in my affairs.

When I got upstairs, I was about to change my clothes and go to the bathroom to wash up, when the maid came to the door and said to me, "Miss, Mr. asked you to go to the study." ”

When I heard this, I turned my head and asked, "What did you say?" ”

The maid lowered her head and said, "I didn't say it." ”

I took the hairpin on my head and continued to try, and said to the maid, "If there is nothing special, it will not be gone so late." ”

The maid said, "You better go over." ”

For the girl's words, I felt that the fire was very big, and I glanced at her sideways, and the girl took a step or two back, still standing there.

I could only take the hairpin from my hair, throw it on the table, and say, "Okay, you go down, I'll be there later." ”

The maid said, "Yes." Then he withdrew from the house.

As soon as she left, I continued to comb my hair in the mirror, and from time to time I took the hairpin in the jewelry box and tried it a few times, until half an hour later, I got up from the dressing mirror, went out of the room, and walked towards Mu Jingchi's study.

He was waiting to see the excerpts, the maid was waiting for the pen and ink, and the room was very quiet, and the sound of heavy snow could be heard outside.

The maid who was studying ink saw me walking in from outside, she glanced at me and called softly, "Miss." ”

I hummed, and then walked to Mu Jingchi's desk and looked at him, my shadow was projected on him, behind the shadow on his paper, then he stopped the brush in his hand, put the brush on the pen stand, and looked up at me.

He said, "I asked you to come here to translate something." He picked out a document from his desk and handed it to me, saying, "It's an urgent document, it's been telegraphed from abroad." ”

I said, "You know French." ”

I wasn't going to pick it up, so I didn't move.

He didn't speak, but threw the papers on the table, and ignored me, making it clear that he didn't want to hear anything from me.

I was silent for a while, thought for a while, then took it from the table, I opened the document, there was a telegram from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the content of which I can probably understand, but I can't read it completely, there are many technical terms that need to be checked, I read it, closed the document again, and walked outside with the document.

Mu Jingchi, who picked up the brush again, said: "Isn't it just to find me unhappy, why bother to lead people into circles, I know what she thinks, and you'd better give me some restraint, don't go too far." ”

I stopped, turned my head to look at him, he didn't look at me, and read it on the fold.

I sneered and said, "If she doesn't have such a mind, why would she drill into my circle, now you understand, how much she doesn't want me to stay here, since that's the case, you should let me go, right?" ”

This is the longest I've said to him in all this time.

His hand didn't stop, still writing on the fold, and when I thought he wouldn't answer, he raised his eyes and looked at me: "The war in Dongjun is not over, if you don't want to stay in the Mu family, the only place to go is to be guarded by the Yuan Mansion, if you want to live in the house for more than half a year, I won't have any opinions, and I will let someone send you over as soon as possible tomorrow." ”

Of course I wouldn't be so stupid, and naturally I wouldn't bump into him, which would only hurt myself.

I turned around and wanted to leave, but when I was about to go out of the door, I stopped again, turned to him and said, "I do think that Fu Xiaowen is good, n do you think I am just trying to find you unhappy?" I chuckled and said, "You are wrong, just like Wang Zhizhi said, I always have to plan for myself, do I really have to be a widow like Yuan Lin for the rest of my life?" And I can talk to that Fu Xiaowen very well, although the relationship has not reached that step now, but at least I don't hate him, the movie on Sunday, I hope you can let me go to the appointment, the first marriage was chosen for me, and now the second marriage should let me make my own decisions, right? ”

I stared at Mu Jingchi's expression carefully, he still didn't have any expression, but closed the approved fold, threw it on the table, and said to me: "It's your business how you want to choose, but whether you can travel freely, I don't have any right to approve it, your correct way is to write an excerpt and upload it to the presidential palace to apply." He no longer looked at me, but said to the maid standing beside him, "Burn the agarwood." ”

When the maid who was waiting for the pen and ink spoke, she took the incense burner on the table and went to the side.

I looked at it for a while, then turned around and walked away.

Mu Jingchi didn't agree to me and Fu Xiaowen going out to watch a movie together, and even had a cold attitude towards Wang Zhizhi, Wang Zhizhi was quite careful in speaking during that time, and never mentioned the word Fu Xiaowen in front of Mu Jingchi.

Another week passed, Mrs. Di went to Mu's house again, and asked Wang Zhizhi about the progress of the matter, Wang Zhizhi did not recklessly do something that caused Mu Jing to be unhappy, but directly rejected Mrs. Di, saying that I was in the mourning period, it was really not suitable to say such a thing, if she really wanted to make up this marriage, after three years, after my mourning period expired, it would not be too late to talk about it.

Mrs. Di did not expect this to be the case, and even asked Wang Zhizhi the reason.

Wang Zhizhi still prevaricated Mrs. Di with the matter of the funeral, Mrs. Di is a person who understands and knows the real reason, it is definitely not this, but she did not continue to ask deeply, and it was very smart to stop this matter abruptly.

After Mrs. Di dispelled the idea, I thought about it, but I didn't expect that two days after Mrs. Di left, Fu Xiaowen actually wrote a letter and asked the maid at home to bring it to me.

It was a love letter, and it was written that after meeting me, it was so unforgettable and haunting to me, and that he hoped that I could write back to him and let him understand my heart for him.

The letter was full of extremely lingering words, I saw the end from the beginning, and laughed to the end, and the maid looked at it from the side and didn't dare to speak.

After I read the letter, I carefully put it away, and then asked the maid to bring paper and pen over, and replied to Fu Xiaowen, the content of the letter was no worse than Fu Xiaowen's, and I also stuffed my usual silk handkerchief into the envelope and asked the maid to send it out again.

When the maid took the letter away, I took out Fu Xiaowen's letter again and looked at it, if I was still an eighteen-year-old girl, I would definitely be moved by Fu Xiaowen's letter, but now it seems.

I laughed helplessly, then carefully placed the letter on the bottom of the jewelry box on the dressing table, and soon left the room and went downstairs to Zhou's mother's room.

In the next few days, Fu Xiaowen and I have been in correspondence, Fu Xiaowen's pursuit of me has become more and more bold, the day before sent someone to send a bouquet of roses, yesterday sent a comb, today sent a hairpin, he is very good at likable, everything to my satisfaction.

But I didn't expect that such days had not passed for a few days, one night, I came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and at a glance I saw Mu Jingchi standing in front of my dressing mirror, holding a love letter written to me by Fu Xiaowen in his hand, which I had just finished reading and forgot to receive, I never thought that he would suddenly come into my room.

I immediately walked over and wanted to snatch the letter from Mu Jingchi's hand, but who knows, before I stretched out my hand, Mu Jingchi took the letter back, I threw myself into the air, and immediately looked at him angrily and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Mu Jingchi ignored me, his eyes fell on the jewelry box in front of my dresser, he stretched out his hand and opened the jewelry box again, and smoothly took out all the love letters that Fu Xiaowen wrote to me.

At this time, Wang Shuyi suddenly walked in with the child in her arms, and seeing that the atmosphere in the room was different, she walked to Mu Jingchi and asked softly: "What's wrong with Jingchi?" ”

Mu Jingchi handed those letters to Wang Shuyi and said, "You asked people to send these letters?" ”

Wang Shuyi still didn't understand what was going on, so she took the letters from Mu Jingchi's hand, and when she turned to the first letter, she immediately said to Mu Jingchi: "Jingchi, I don't know how these letters came in!" ”

Mu Jingchi didn't react on his face, and still asked lightly: "Did you call someone to pass it in?" ”

Wang Shuyi said: "I didn't, Jing Chi!" Believe me, I don't know what's going on. ”

Mu Jingchi saw that Wang Shuyi was not lying, and looked at all the maids in the room and asked, "Who came in?" ”

Mu Jingchi's voice did not have a trace of sternness, but the air pressure in the room was surprisingly low.

He asked again, "Does no one know?" ”

The maid standing in the corner began to tremble, and after a while, she slowly stood up and said in a trembling voice in front of Mu Jingchi: "Sir, it's me." ”

Mu Jingchi looked at her for a long time, for a long time, he glanced at Steward Zhou, who didn't know when he came in, and said the next three words: "Drag it down." ”

And he departed from my house.

After hearing the three words dragged down, the whole body of the maid fell to the ground, she cried quietly, and looked at me again, I didn't speak, let the two guards outside drag the maid down, and the next morning, the maid was killed in the backyard, and the body was dragged out of Mu's house.

The maids at home no longer dared to have any contact with me, and after that, all the letters written by Fu Xiaowen were sent to Mu Jingchi's study.

After that, I don't know exactly what Fu Xiaowen wrote and what he sent, I was restricted from taking over any news outside, I was very calm, as if there had never been such a thing, and Mu Jingchi also behaved very calmly, except that the cane killed a maid that day.

During that time, because of the war in Dongjun, he still had to go to the presidential palace from time to time, and the two of us basically didn't say anything, and after almost two or three days, Mu Jing rarely returned early in the morning, almost six o'clock, and his car drove back from outside.

After driving to the house, he got out of the car and entered the hall, the maid was holding the child in the hall to play, Mu Jingchi was not in a hurry to go upstairs, but sat down on the sofa, he held the child in his arms, taught the child to read the villain book for a while, he probably saw that there has been not much movement upstairs, when the maid came over with tea, he asked casually: "Miss." ”

The maid immediately replied, "Upstairs." ”

Mu Jing didn't speak again, fed Feng'er and ate a few fruits, he handed over the child to the maid to take care of, and then walked upstairs, he seemed to be in a good mood today, when he came to my room, I was sitting at the table, translating the telegram for him, he saw that he was looking at the information, the translation was very serious, so he stood there and looked at me for a while, walked into the house, stood beside me and asked, "How is the translation?" ”

He also stretched out his hand and flipped through the draft on my desk to take a look, I let him look at it, and continued to translate there, Mu Jingchi saw that I was looking at the paper seriously, he sat down and looked at me with a smile, and no longer bothered me, lifted the teapot on the table and poured me a cup of tea, and then poured another cup for myself and said: "In a few days, I will go to Dongjun, I will need to leave the house for a few days, is it okay to stay alone?" ”

I still didn't speak, and he still showed no signs of anger, but he was still in a good mood and said, "If you feel bored, you can go to the yard and take a look around, the red plums are blooming well." ”

I said, "I want to go to the movies." ”

Mu Jingchi asked, "When." ”

I said, "Tonight." ”

Mu Jingchi smiled and said, "Is it a miracle of Eker? ”

I didn't expect him to know about this movie, and when Fu Xiaowen came to Mu's house that day, all the words he said were retold to him, and I didn't deny it.

He put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "How about I go with you?" ”

He didn't wait for me to answer, but said to the maid standing aside: "Go and call the Xinhua Academy, and say that we will come over at ten o'clock and let the people over there prepare." ”

The maid said yes, and went downstairs to make a call, and when she had finished the call, she came up to us again and said, "Sir, you have already called." ”

Mu Jingchi smiled with satisfaction, and then said to me: "Let's go, by the way, have dinner outside, and go to your favorite Zuiyue Tower." ”

When he saw that I didn't move, he stood up and stretched out his hand to me, and the maid watched cautiously, as if he was afraid that I would open his hand in the next second.

But I didn't stretch out my hand, nor did I open his hand, but stood up by myself and walked towards the door, Mu Jingchi stood there and looked at me who had already walked outside, and said to the maid on the side: "Bring a piece of clothing, it should be thick." ”

The maid saw that Mu Jingchi was in a rare good mood, and of course she immediately smiled and said, "Yes." "Quickly went to the closet to get my clothes for me.

When Mu Jingchi went downstairs, she happened to meet Wang Zhizhi who was carrying Feng'er upstairs, she saw Mu Jingchi following me, and the maid was holding my cloak in her hand, and even asked: "Jingchi, what are you ......?"

Wang Zhizhi didn't completely ask.

Mu Jingchi glanced at him and said lightly: "Accompany her out to watch a movie." He took my coat from the maid's hand, and said to Wang Zhizhi, "For dinner, you and Feng'er can use it together." He didn't speak again, and continued to walk forward, ignoring Wang Zhizhi who was standing there.

Wang Zhizhi held the child and looked at our departing figures, and did not speak for a long time.

Soon the car stopped outside, I bent in, Mu Jingchi followed behind me, and after the car door was closed, I drove away from the gate of Mu's house.

The car went to the Zuiyue Tower in Jinling City first, and I found out that the entire Jinling City was talking about the war in Dongjun, and even the guests who dined here in Zuiyue Lou were also talking about the progress of the war in Dongjun.

I heard that the Japanese army was repulsed to the outside of Hedong City and evacuated this morning, and I saw that Mu Jingchi's relaxed appearance turned out to be because of the war in Dongjun.

We didn't alarm anyone when we came out to eat, and there weren't many people around, only a maid and a small maid, which looked no different from the usual rich and noble people, but the store was very eye-catching, and when I saw Mu Jingchi taking me out, I came to greet him in person with the menu.

A long time ago, Mu Jingchi and I often came here to eat, because I like the cuisine here very much, whether it is taste or salty, it is very much in line with my preferences.

Mu Jingchi glanced at the menu, handed the menu to me, and said with a smile, "You order." ”

I didn't rub it off, after taking it, I opened the menu and took a casual look, there seemed to be a lot of new dishes here, the boss recommended it to me, I didn't want to eat before, so I ordered a few new products.

After I finished ordering, the store looked at me and Mu Jingchi asked, "Sir, do you have any other points?" ”

Mu Jingchi said: "No need, come according to her preference." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he answered, and immediately ordered the cook to go down and do it, but he didn't leave, but still stood there with him, and said with a smile: "You rarely bring the young lady over here for dinner." ”

Mu Jingchi smiled and said, "It's been several years. ”

The shopkeeper looked at me and said, "Mademoiselle has grown a lot taller." ”

Mu Jingchi followed the shopkeeper's gaze and fell on me, his eyes seemed to be looking at my height, and he said to the shopkeeper: "It's a lot taller, and one of her favorite dishes here in the past was Lushan Love." ”

The shopkeeper asked, "Would you like one?" ”

Mu Jingchi looked at me and said, "I'm tired of eating, that's all." ”

After hearing this, the shopkeeper naturally didn't ask Mu Jingchi's opinion again, and retreated from our side.

We sat in an extremely good position, leaning on the window, you can see the most beautiful part of the night view of Jinling City, I grabbed the beans on the table while watching, while eating, when I was eating extremely energetically, Mu Jingchi handed me the plain white handkerchief, I looked at it with disgust, and did not answer.

Mu Jingchi has always had a habit of cleanliness, and when he saw that I didn't answer it, he took my hand and wiped it, and said: "There are bacteria, and the things in the mouth have been told to you many times, so they must be clean." I winced twice, and he clamped it again, rubbing it carefully.

Just as he was wiping his hands for me, two people came up downstairs at this time, a tall and thin man, and a tall and thin woman, the two of them were walking in under the guidance of the store, but when the two were about to sit down, the tall and thin man actually looked at us, and he had just sat down for a second, and then immediately stood up, full of surprise and called: "Qingye?!" ”

I didn't expect to meet Fu Xiaowen here, and under such circumstances, as soon as he saw me here, he immediately got up and walked towards me, and the woman next to him also immediately stood up and called: "Brother, where are you going?" ”

But when Fu Xiaowen walked to a distance of only half a meter from our table, he immediately paused, and then noticed that there was another man sitting at the same table with me, it was Mu Jingchi.

He probably didn't expect it to be him, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then continued to walk towards us, and after arriving at Mu Jingchi's side, he immediately called out very respectfully: "Mr. Mu." ”

Mu Jingchi didn't know Fu Xiaowen very well, so he looked at me sideways.

Fu Xiaowen hurriedly introduced himself and said: "I am my father and Fu Qing, and I am the deputy director of General Di, my name is Fu Xiaowen." ”

As soon as he heard Fu Xiaowen's three words, Mu Jingchi naturally knew who he was, and after he looked at Fu Xiaowen for a few moments, he smiled and said, "It turned out to be the son of Fu Qing's family." ”

Fu Xiaowen smiled even happier when he saw Mu Jingchi being so kind, and he said, "I didn't expect to meet you and Qing ...... here" He swallowed his words subconsciously, his eyes swept over me, and he immediately changed his words and said: "I didn't expect to meet you and Miss Lu." ”

At this time, the woman who came with Fu Xiaowen walked towards us, stared at me and Mu Jingchi with a frown, and asked very puzzledly: "Brother, do you know them?" ”

Fu Xiaowen immediately remembered something, and hurriedly introduced us: "This is my sister, Fu Shaowen." ”

Fu Xiaowen4 pushed the woman next to him and said, "This is Mr. Mu and Miss Lu." ”

Fu Shaowen had obviously heard of Mu Jingchi's name, and when she heard that it was Mu Jingchi, she saluted Mu Jingchi and said, "Mr. Mu." He looked at me again.

She's actually older than me, and she's a little confused about whether or not to head my luggage.

Fu Xiaowen saw that Fu Shaowen was stunned, so she pushed her again: "This is Miss Lu." ”

Fu Shaowen saw that I was wearing a mourning dress, which was very eye-catching, so she hesitated and called: "Miss Lu." ”

Fu Xiaowen and Fu Shaowen are quite polite to the two siblings, and Mu Jingchi is naturally very kind and said: "Since you know each other, you will be at the same table?" ”
