Wang Zhizhi immediately greeted him and asked, "Brother-in-law, why are you here at this time?" ”

But Yuan Chengjun didn't answer Wang Zhizhi, but looked back and forth between me and Mu Jingchi, but after a glance, he calmed down, returned to his old Gujing Wubo and said, "Jingchi, I have something to look for you." ”

Mu Jingchi stood up from the dining table, and when he saw Yuan Chengjun's expression in such a hurry, he asked with a smile: "Ninth Master, what is it for?" ”

Yuan Chengjun glanced at me again before he said to Mu Jingchi, "Let's go upstairs first." ”

Yuan Chengjun's expression, Mu Jingchi also noticed it, and he also looked at it, but he didn't move, just said to the maid: "Serve tea." Then he led Yuan Chengjun upstairs, Wang Zhizhi seemed to be aware of the subtle atmosphere, so he immediately followed behind them and said, "I'll go up too." ”

However, before she could follow out of the door, she was sternly stopped by Yuan Chengjun and said, "You stay downstairs." ”

Wang Zhizhi stopped, slightly at a loss.

After that, Yuan Chengjun and Mu Jingchi went upstairs together, Wang Shuyi went to serve the tea, but did not let the maid go up, no one knew what happened.

After Wang Zhizhi was left behind, there were only two of us left in the restaurant, I was very frank, and smiled at Wang Zhizhi, who was standing at the door and was still a little worried about the direction of the hall: "Auntie, it's better to sit down and dine with peace of mind." ”

She glanced at me, probably still a little worried, because Yuan Chengjun had a little anxiety on his face just now, and this kind of anxiety appeared on his face, it should be a few days old.

Wang Zhizhi still turned around and continued to use the unfinished meal, but she didn't seem to have the heart to eat, so I put some dishes in her bowl and said, "That's all men's business, let's just leave it alone." ”

She looked at me a little flattered, but soon, she smiled and said, "Yes, we women have never been in charge of men's affairs. She thought for a moment and said, "You shouldn't have poured out the medicine last time, but the doctor was invited by him after spending a lot of effort, why don't you appreciate it?" He would be so angry because he was worried, and secondly, Kiyono, you wasted his effort. She put some food in my bowl and whispered, "When they finish talking about things, you can talk to him in a good voice, and he won't really be angry." ”

I said, "Auntie, you've changed a lot lately. ”

She smiled and asked, "Really?" As if he couldn't hear the meaning of my words, he still said in a virtuous tone: "I just suddenly figured it out now." ”

I said, "Figured out what?" ”

She held the dishes in the bowl back and forth in her hand and said: "Women, living in such an era, which man is not three wives and four concubines, Jingchi is still good, isn't it?" ”

She also looked back at me with a smile, and inexplicably I heard a hint of insinuation from her words, is she sarcastic that I am a concubine? But the smile on her face was still gentle, without a hint of harshness, as if it were my delusion.

After a while, Wang Zhizhi smiled again and said: "Although I am nothing in this family now, I am still a lady, but Qingye, you are still young, you have more lofty ideals and a greater future, you really don't have to be cocooned here, after all, things in this world are changing rapidly, just like a man's love for a woman, like life and death, you know today, you don't know tomorrow." ”

"Maybe you won't be listening now, but you'll understand later, and maybe you'll be thankful for me today," she said. After finishing speaking, she put some more vegetables in my bowl and said with a smile, "Okay, let's stop talking, eat vegetables." ”

Halfway through this meal, Wang Zhizhi and I were not in the mood to continue eating, so we dispersed, and the maids came here to clean up the table, and when they arrived upstairs, Mu Jingchi's study was still closed, and the maids all stood outside, not daring to make a sound.

I just glanced at it and walked in the door.

It didn't take long for the maid to bring in today's medicine again, I took a look, and I didn't expect to drink it directly. At this time, Zhou's mother came in from outside the door, and she asked a little uneasily: "Miss, what happened outside?" Why hasn't Mr. and Jiu Ye come out yet? ”

Mother Zhou seemed to have a premonition of something, she looked at me and frowned and said, "You ......"

But the words were never spoken.

I handed the empty bowl to the maid and said to Zhou's mother, "I don't know what's going on, Zhou's mother, don't worry about it." ”

When she saw my face, there was indeed no trace of abnormality, and she didn't know whether she believed it or not, so she went downstairs with the bowl in person.

Not long after, there was the sound of the car leaving downstairs, Jasper was putting the curtains, standing at the window and looking downstairs, I asked Jasper, "The sleeping car is leaving?" ”

Biyu looked back at me and said, "It's the ninth master." ”

I also got up and stood up, and looked downstairs, where Yuan Chengjun's car just turned a corner and left.

Not long after, a maid came in from outside the door and said to me, "Miss, sir, let you come over." ”

I asked the maid, "Do you have anything to say?" ”

The maid said, "No, I just let you pass." ”

I didn't ask any more, but went out of the door and walked straight towards Mu Jingchi's study, and when I arrived at his door, I knocked on the door twice, it was Wang Shuyi who opened the door, she saw that it was me, so she retreated slightly from the door, I walked in directly, it was calm inside, Mu Jingchi wrote with a brush, he saw me coming, he raised his hand and put the pen on the pen stand, looked at me and asked me: "Have you taken the medicine?" ”

I said, "Yes, I just ate it." ”

After hearing this, he nodded and said, "It's good to eat." After a while, he said, "There's nothing else to do for you to come over, just don't go out for the time being for the next few days." ”

I whispered, "But what's wrong?" ”

He sat down in his chair, picked up the teacup on the table, and said, "Why do you ask?" ”

I said, "Yuan Jiuye came in such a hurry just now, and everyone outside was speculating. ”

He smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, you go first." ”

I glanced at him, thought about it and didn't ask more, and was about to turn around and leave, when Mu Jingchi said behind me again: "In a few days, it will be your nineteenth birthday, but what are your birthday wishes?"

I shook my head and said, "One birthday a year, I don't want anything." ”

He hummed and said, "Okay, it's okay, you can go down." ”

Hearing him say this, I could only continue to walk outside, and it didn't take long for Steward Zhou to walk in from outside, he glanced at me, then said goodbye to me, and quickly entered Mu Jingchi, as for what Steward Zhou said to Mu Jingchi inside, I couldn't hear it, and the door was closed in the next second.

That day, Mu Mansion was still calm at night, no different from usual, Mu Jingchi also came to my room to sit for a while, I was playing cards with Jasper and them there, Mu Jingchi sat there and watched us play happily, but did not bother, just quietly stared, stared at me and Jasper and they were joking, staring at me and Jasper They were arguing about a card, staring at me because I won and the smugness on my eyebrows and eyes could not be concealed, and the corners of his mouth always had a faint smile.

However, he didn't sit for long, didn't disturb us, let us play around in the room, and quietly left without us knowing.

Or Jasper reacted and asked, "What about sir?" ”

Qing'er and I all stopped to look, only to find that Mu Jingchi was gone, Qing'er looked at me and asked, "When did Mr. leave?" ”

Zhou's mother smiled on the side and said, "Just a while, you guys are crazy, and Mr. asks me to quarrel with you." ”

Biyu smiled and said, "I see, no wonder we didn't feel it." ”

It was about Mu Jing who was late and left, they relaxed a lot, and Biyu asked me, "Miss, do you want to continue?" You're losing tonight. ”

I shuffled the cards and said, "If you lose, you lose, who is afraid of whom." ”

The next morning, when I had just gotten up, Jasper ran in in a panic and said, "Miss! Oh no! Steward Zhou quarreled with Mr. again. ”

Because I played too late yesterday, I sat on the bed and looked sleepy, and I said unfazed by her words: "Don't they often do this?" It's just a matter of getting used to it. ”

Seeing that I didn't care at all, Jasper said again, "No, no, no!" It was Steward Zhou who took the tablet of Mu Liezu's ancestors, knelt in Mr.'s study, and refused to get up, and said, if you don't leave, you will all kill yourself there. ”

I finally lifted my eyelids and asked, "What made such a big fuss?" ”

Biyu nodded vigorously and said, "It's big, not a little big." ”

This is the first time that there has been such a big commotion, the tablets, those tablets that are enshrined in the ancestral hall in the backyard and have never been touched by anyone, have all been made out by Steward Zhou, this is not only big, as Biyu said, it is very big.

I put on my shoes, tore the cumbersome clothes off Qing'er's hands, and hurried out.

Sure enough, I saw that Steward Zhou was kneeling at the door with a bunch of people, but Mu Jingchi's study was closed and not opened, and there was no movement inside.

After I walked around behind them, everyone was kneeling without squinting, and a maid happened to pass by me, and I grabbed her hand and asked, "What's the situation?" What is this doing? ”

The maid shook her head, said in a panic that she didn't know the situation, and then refused to say a word, and left.

I stood there and watched for a while, thinking that this should be none of my business, so I went back to my room, went back to my room, and continued to let Qing'er dress me.

Qing'er looked at me and said, "Do you know what it's for?" ”

I stood there lazily and stretched out my hand and said, "If only I knew something." I thought about it for a moment, and then said, "There are just some things that are a little bigger than sesame seeds." ”

Qing'er suddenly glanced around, she stopped what she was doing, and whispered in my ear: "I heard that several major theaters in Jinling City have been singing a play recently. ”

I raised my eyebrows and asked, "What play?" ”

Qing'er said, "You and Mr. ”

I looked at Qing'er with something I didn't hear.

Qing'er didn't speak again, but turned to the side, took a movie ticket from the cabinet, and handed it to me.

The ticket is written with the story outline of the new play, singing the story of a rich businessman and a sister-in-law, the sister died early, the sister-in-law became an orphan, and was taken over by the brother-in-law, as the sister-in-law got older, she and her brother-in-law were involved in a series of peach erotic affairs, which only had two supporting roles, one was the incompetent husband of the sister-in-law who was kept inside, and the other was the sister-in-law's spicy mother-in-law.

The dramas invited are not famous actors, they are all some beauty that cannot be named, I took a cursory look and smiled and said, "Is this play still singing now?" ”

Qing'er said: "I don't sing anymore, I have ordered that it is forbidden to sing again, but this matter has caused a stir outside, and the whole city knows about it." ”

I said, "Have you found someone to choreograph this play?" ”

Qing'er said: "No, I didn't find it, it's just that the horns who sang these scenes were all detained, and they were being interrogated one by one." ”

I said, "So, Steward Zhou invited the ancestors of the Mu family for this matter this morning?" ”

Qing'er nodded and said, "The door of the gentleman's room has not been opened so far. ”

I handed the ticket in my hand to Qing'er and said, "So yesterday the ninth master came to find my brother-in-law for this matter." ”

Qing'er said, "Yes." ”

I didn't speak again, walked towards the vanity mirror, and after sitting down, Qing'er came to comb my hair again, carefully observed my face, and saw that I was not angry at all, she asked suspiciously: "Miss, now that such a big hole has been poked out, why are you not anxious at all?" ”

I looked at myself in the mirror, looked at my eyebrows and said, "Hurry, is it useful?" This gossip is going to spread, but I can stop it. Qing'er said worriedly: "Now that the Mu family and the Yuan family are in such a turmoil, it is really unfavorable and absurd. ”

I didn't speak.

When Qing'er combed my hair, I got up and was about to go downstairs, Steward Zhou still led everyone to kneel there, even the posture has not changed, I went downstairs, after breakfast I leisurely turned around in the yard, stopped at the pond to feed the fish, when I was feeding, I raised my eyes and saw a figure sitting in the tea room opposite, wearing a white shirt, sitting by the window and seemed to be reading a book.

I took a closer look, wasn't that Mu Jingchi? He's not in the study?

Inexplicably, I want to laugh, I guess I was annoyed by that pile of old things, and I hid in the tea room, and Steward Zhou They may not have noticed that the room kneeling in front of them was already empty.

I didn't stay at the window for a long time, but took Qing'er around the road to the tea room, there was a maid guarding the door, as soon as I saw us coming, just wanted to stop, Mu Jingchi's voice came out of it and said, "Let her in." ”

The maid looked at me, blessed me at the door, and said, "Yes." ”

Then she quickly opened the door, and I walked in, Mu Jingchi's posture still unchanged, leaning back in his chair, still holding a book in his hand.

I sat down in front of him and said, "How did my brother-in-law sneak from the study to the tea room?" ”

The tea was tumbling on the table, and no one had touched it, so it was already so hissing that it was about to dry up, so I quickly lifted it up and poured a cup of tea for Mu Jingchi.

He asked lightly, "Why are you here?" ”

I said, "Come and see you, Steward Zhou is kneeling in front of your study door with the sign of the ancestors and the ancestors." ”

Agarwood was burning on the table, and he put his hand on his forehead and said, "Haven't you left yet?" ”

I said, "No." ”

Mu Jingchi heard a bit of schadenfreude hidden in my tone, he simply put down the book in his hand and looked at me and said, "What, you are very happy?" ”

I took a cup of tea and said, "Not really." I've never seen you have such a headache, and of course I feel sorry for Steward Zhou, who knelt so hard in an empty room. ”

Mu Jing didn't speak for a long time, picked up the cup of tea I poured for him and smelled it, he said, "You should have heard the gossip outside." ”

I said, "I heard Qing'er say it this morning. ”

Mu Jingchi looked at me and said, "What do you say?" ”

I put down the teacup and stood up from the chair, then walked towards Mu Jingchi, after squatting in front of him, I raised my eyes to look at him, and then obediently curled my head on his legs and said, "If you let me go, I will go, if you let me stay, I will stay." ”

Mu Jingchi didn't pick me up like usual, but lowered his eyes and quietly examined me for a long time, he lowered his cold eyes and asked, "Do you really want to stay?" ”

He asked in such a whisper that I didn't even seem to hear clearly, and I was about to look up and ask him what he was saying, but after a while, he put his big hand on my head, and his fingertips stroked my long shiny hair and said, "Have you ever heard a story?" ”

I didn't move, just quietly lay on his knees and said, "Which story is my brother-in-law telling?" ”

He said, "The serpent and the farmer." ”

I said, "When I was very young, Zhou's mother told me, why, why did my brother-in-law suddenly ask me about this. ”

He smiled and said, "It's nothing, suddenly a little emotional." His fingers suddenly lifted my cheeks, his eyes returned to their usual temperature, and he said, "The day after tomorrow is your birthday, but what do you want?" ”

I wanted to speak, his fingertips lightly touched my lips, and he said softly: "Don't be in a hurry to answer first, tell me when you think clearly, you should know that in this world, what you want, I have never allowed it." ”

"Freedom."

Mu Jingchi suddenly slapped me in the face.

I was hit to the ground by his force, but I didn't move, just kept the movement of falling to the ground and looked at him, looking at him with a smile.

Mu Jingchi's face showed no sign of anger at all, and his face was a pool of stagnant water. He sat down in his chair and looked down at me, and I looked up at him, the tea still sizzling on the stove.

His voice came without sorrow or joy: "You go." ”

We all know what this slap means, but no one said it, this is a birthday gift from him to me, it is the big gift I want, I naturally accepted it gladly, and I got my wish, I staggered up from the ground, and then covered my red face, stood in front of him with a smile and said, "Kiyono thanks my brother-in-law for the gift." ”

Just as I was turning to leave, he said behind me, "Wait." ”

I stopped, and he said, "There's a gift on the table, take it with you." ”

At this time, a maid came from outside, took a gift box from the desk not far away, and then lowered her head and sent it to me.

I stretched out my hand to take it, and opened the box again, and inside was a silk handkerchief embroidered with green bamboo.

I didn't say anything, but after closing the box again, he whispered in his ear: "I know that it is your hypocrisy, but I still think that it is perhaps." ”

This sentence seemed to whisper in my ear, very light and faint, blown in by the wind outside, and scattered in the air at once.

Mu Jingchi walked past me, didn't look at me again, and went straight out of the tea room.

The pot of tea on the table has been completely burned, the charcoal fire is still very big, the purple clay pot is boiling hot, bang, the teapot exploded into pieces on the charcoal fire, and the wind blew in, sweeping the book that Mu Jingchi had just turned over to the last page, on the last page, there was a childish font, and a sentence was written crookedly: The beast furnace Shen shisha, the remnants of the green swamp, and the lines were written in Acacia.

I walked over and picked up the book, this is a collection of poems, Mu Jingchi's favorite poetry collection, but when I was a child, I was very naughty, I just asked the teacher to teach me to write, it was when I was playful, I always liked to take a brush and paint everywhere on his book, this one, of course, was not spared.

I wrote a lot of poems in this book, and there were a lot of typos circled for me in red font, page by page, except for the sentence on the back page, but it was complete and upright, and there was not a single typo.

I closed the book, put it down, and left the tea room without any further care.

He gave me freedom as I wished.

The next morning, the Yuan family's car stopped at the door of the Mu family, it was still around six o'clock in the morning, no one came up to come, and no one came up to urge, so it was parked there quietly.

Biyu and Qing'er were carrying my things, and they didn't understand what was going on, so they just frowned and asked me several times: "Miss, are we really leaving?" Why go? ”

I ignored them and just whispered, "Just follow me." ”

Qing'er asked behind me, "Do you want to ask Mr. Let's go and leave." ”

I ignored them, just walked straight downstairs, Biyu and Qing'er had no choice but to quickly follow behind me, and when I arrived at the living room, I didn't even turn on the lights, walked to the door with my luggage, and immediately opened the car door, but when I was about to get in the car, I stayed for a few seconds, and Biyu and Qing'er's eyes were a little red.

A whisper called out to me, "Miss." ”

I didn't look back, I just whispered, "Get in the car." ”

Then, I walked in, Qing'er Biyu could only follow me, and I finally left the place where I had been imprisoned for many months, and the car drove all the way to the unknown night ahead, and finally stopped at the door of Yuan's house.

It was still deserted, only two soldiers were guarding the door, and I walked in with Qing'er.

Back in the original courtyard, it was scattered, no one cleaned up the house, and there was not even a decent quilt in the house.

Qing'er and Biyu were crying all the time, only me, squatting down expressionlessly, cleaning up everything inside with an expressionless face, and it didn't take long for the sky outside to brighten.

At this time, Qing'er came in with a bucket of water from outside and asked, "Miss, you can go anywhere, why do you want to come to Yuan's house here?" Have you forgotten what kind of life you used to have in the Yuan family? ”

I laid out the quilt, looked at Qing'er and said, "Where do you think I can go?" Let me go? ”

I smiled and said, "Qing'er, you are so naïve, do you think that this marriage can be dissolved if you want to?" This is a national marriage, you will be tied here until you are old and die, and your tombstone will be engraved with the surname Yuan in the future, even if you and your husband do not have any husband and wife. ”

I stood there and stumbled a few times, then looked around and said, "Do you think I want to come here, do you think I don't have everything I want to have?" But wherever I can go, I can't go. ”

I didn't say anything more, and continued to turn around and go to make the bed.

Qing'er and Biyu stopped talking, and quickly cleaned everything in the house.

Later, Qing'er and Biyu and I lived here, Yuan Chengjun came to see me, asked me if I was missing here, what I needed, the words were polite, for his words, I also politely replied to him, everything is fine, no need to add anything else.

Yuan Chengjun glanced at me meaningfully, and after a long time, he said, "What you did in this matter is really confused. ”

I know what he is worth, I didn't answer, I just lowered my head, about Yuan Chengjun didn't think it was much fun, he didn't say much to me, but got up, thought about it and said: "Since I'm back, then I don't care about the past, this huge Yuan family will never miss a bite of food for you, but you should also know that the Yuan family can't be without a queen, and between you and Lin'er, there is no longer any possibility, so I discussed with his mother to give him a concubine." ”

I said, "Whatever my father wants." ”

When he saw me say this, he hummed and left.

Soon after Yuan Chengjun left, Qing'er and Biyu all came over and asked me, "Miss, how can they let them take a concubine for Yuan Lin in this kind of thing?" ”

I asked them, "Why not?" ”

Qing'er and Biyu were stopped by me.

I smiled and said, "Let Yuan Lin take a concubine, we will each be easy, won't we?" All they want is my name, and the rest is not so important. ”

Qing'er and Biyu were stunned by what I said.

Jasper said again, "Does Miss plan to live in this backyard all the time?" Will the gentleman agree to Yuan Lin's concubine? ”

At this time, Qing'er pulled Biyu, for many months, they didn't dare to mention the Mu family again, and the Mu family didn't contact me again, Qing'er and Biyu also had a premonition, Biyu just forgot to avoid it for a while.

I didn't get angry, but whispered: "Since Yuan Chengjun dared to mention it, it means that he asked Mu Jingchi, and Yuan Chengjun's request was not too much, how could he ask his son to touch a pair of broken shoes that others don't want." ”

Qing'er covered my lips and said, "Miss, don't talk nonsense again!" ”

After almost a month, Yuan Lin accepted a concubine, and it was Lin Wanwan, who was still Xianle Pavilion, which was about Yuan Chengjun's compensation for Yuan Lin in a sense.

This didn't hurt me at all, on the day of the wedding, I didn't attend any ceremony, it was lively outside, and it seemed that there were always guests coming to Yuan's house to congratulate.

Qing'er and Biyu were so angry that they couldn't do it, and when the two of them came back from outside, they slammed the door shut, and saw that I was just sitting there cutting the window paper and playing, Jasper rushed over and snatched the scissors from my hand, and said loudly after sitting in front of me: "Miss! How can you still be in the mood to play with paper-cutting! ”

I ignored Jasper's anger and jokingly asked, "What's the matter?" Are you going to let me go downstairs and grab a kiss? ”

Qing'er snorted and laughed, and Biyu saw that Qing'er was still in the mood to laugh here, so she pushed her and said, "What are you laughing at?" What's so funny about this kind of thing, Miss is already in the cold palace in the Yuan family now, and now as soon as Lin Wanwan enters the house, isn't it even colder than the cold palace on our side? ”

Qing'er said: "Now that the matter has come to this, there is nothing else to do, what else can we do?" Is it really like what Miss said to rob relatives? ”

Qing'er also sat down with me and said, "Let's have a drink and worry about what to do, as Miss said, now that Lin Wanwan has entered the house, it is just as Mrs. Yuan has paid, and as soon as she is busy, she will not come to us every day to trouble." ”

When Biyu heard Qing'er say this, she also felt that there was some reason, so she also did it.

But at this time, Biyu couldn't help asking: "Miss, are you going to live here for the rest of your life?" ”

I poured myself a cup of tea and said, "It's boring indeed." ”

Biyu came up with an idea and said, "Why don't you go to study abroad and stay for a few years and then come back?" Isn't it up to you how you play outside? It's better than nesting here. ”

Qing'er said: "They are all married, who still runs to study?" And will they let the young lady go abroad? Obviously impossible, there is still a little possibility of reading it in China. ”

Jasper probably thinks there is some truth.

When a few people were talking, a maid suddenly came in outside the door, the maid's eyes were very raw, as if she had never seen it, she was holding a box of joy candy in her hand, and when she arrived in front of us, she was blessed and said with a smile: "Young grandmother, I am Aunt Lin's maid, she asked me to bring you a plate of candy." ”

Then, she put the candy on our table, and it was indeed very festive, and the candy was all wrapped in delicate red paper.

Jasper picked it up and wanted to throw it back to the girl, although she came to deliver candy, but this was undoubtedly a show-off, but when Jasper was about to throw it out, I grabbed her hand and said, "Okay, it was your aunt who sent it, we laughed and accepted it, and said congratulations for me to go back." ”

The maid couldn't hide a smug sigh in her eyes, she looked at my room again, and saw that it was empty, so she smiled and said, "This long night is long, young grandma should drink less wine, wine is hurting, and you can't eat much." ”

The four words of the long night made Qing'er stand up too, and she sneered and asked, "What do you mean?" Are you showing off your aunt's good night? ”

The maid hurriedly said: "Oh, I'm not like this, Sister Qing'er, you are also an old man in this house, why do you still come to worry about these things with us." ”

Then she laughed, and there was a little bit of meaning in her laughter.

She said: "It's not a loss to people who have experienced things, and it's not surprising that such things are clear about the good night. ”

Then, he no longer looked at Qing'er's face, and twisted his waist and left.

Qing'er's face turned red with anger, she wanted to say something but couldn't say a word, I pulled Qing'er and said, "Don't be excited, the coming day is long, a maid's tongue is so fast, it's really nothing." ”

Biyu also comforted her and said, "Yes, yes, Sister Qing'er, don't worry about a maid." ”

After the maid left, it was probably the bustle outside that the courtyard was too boring, and the jasper did not advocate drinking anymore, so they said that they would go to bed early.

I happened to be a little tired, and in the past few days, I kept running outside to find my grandfather and Song Alcohol's whereabouts, but I found nothing.

When I was about to go to bed, Qing'er stood at the door and closed the door, but she didn't move for a long time, just kept looking outside, and she didn't know what she was looking at.

Qing'er, who covered the quilt for me, couldn't help but look back and ask, "What are you looking at?" ”

Biyu stood at the door and asked, "Sister Qing'er, did you say that Mr. came to Yuan Mansion tonight, and whether he came to Yuan Mansion to see Miss." ”

Qing'er subconsciously glanced at me, and at this time I had closed my eyes and didn't look at anyone again.

I only heard Qing'er walk past my bedside, press the door of Jasper's room that was always reluctantly closed, and said, "Mr. didn't come, close the door, don't look at it." ”

Biyu glanced at Qing'er, and could only give up.

This night, the red candle of Yuan's mansion burned all night, early in the morning Lin Wanwan came to my room very politely to ask for peace, she combed the woman's hair, dressed especially plainly in front of me, and did not apply fat powder on her face, before she walked to my door, and said with a smile: "Qingye, I came to see you." ”

This is the first time I have seen her since I entered the house, but she is a lot fatter than before, she is holding a gift box in her hand, and when she saw that I was getting dressed and looking to go out, she asked, "Go out so early?" ”

To be honest, Lin Wanwan is older than me, so it was a little inappropriate for her to call me my sister, so she called me Qingye directly.

I smiled and said, "yes, why are you here so early?" I smiled again and asked, "Second master got up?" ”

Lin Wanwan's face was blushing, but soon, she put the gift box in her hand on the table and said, "This is a gift from me, please don't dislike it." ”

I walked over and opened the gift box, and when I saw that there was a high-quality ink inside, I closed the lid again and said, "I have taken your gift, but my sister really doesn't need such a big gift, you should know what kind of place I am here, so don't treat me as a wife, just an ordinary friend." ”

Lin Wanwan smiled and didn't speak.

I said to Qing'er again, "Qing'er, put away my sister's gift." ”

Qing'er walked up and picked up the things from the table, but when she put them down, she didn't know if she didn't pay attention to them for a while or what, and she put them down loudly.

I put it down at the same time as Lin Wanwan, and Lin Wanwan said as if she remembered something: "By the way, Qingye, don't mind what the maid said last night, I have punished her, but I didn't teach her well." ”

I said, "It's fine, but it's all lip service." I glanced at the time and found that the time I had made an appointment with Gu Huizhi was up, so I said to Lin Wanwan again: "Sister Lin, I won't accompany you more, don't be polite, I still have something to go out." ”

Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Okay." ”

I ignored her, grabbed the bag Jasper had given me, and walked out.

After arriving at the café where she had made an appointment, Gu Huizhi was already waiting there, and as soon as she saw me coming, she immediately stood up and asked, "Why did you come?" ”

I gasped and said, "Rush here." ”

Gu Huizhi glanced at the outside of the café and asked, "Doesn't the Yuan family have a car to send you?" ”

I said, "I didn't alarm them." ”

Gu Huizhi could only pull me to sit down, and she said, "Now you finally get what you want." ”

I said, "Nobody found you for that last time, right?" ”

Gu Huizhi said: "What I do is very secretive, I am all looking for foreigners to arrange, even if they find out, what can they do, they can't do anything to those foreigners, right?" ”

I said, "Didn't the foreigners confess to you?" ”

Gu Huizhi said with a smile: "Foreigners can't do anything else, that is, keep their promises." ”

Gu Huizhi asked again: "Why do you ask that?" ”

I said: "But although the foreigners have not confessed to you, Mu Jingchi also knows what is going on, after all, in this huge Jinling City, how many people can recognize the foreigners?" It's not you me, it's not me or her, and you're in this circle. I took the cigarette from her hand, lit it directly, and said, "But it's okay, I didn't expect it to hide it from him, and I wasn't afraid to let him know, otherwise he wouldn't let me go." ”

Gu Huizhi said: "But even so, the price you paid is too great, do you know? Now the streets are still singing about you and Mu Jingchi, even if you go back to the Yuan family later, it will be nothing to make up, and it will hurt the reputation of the Yuan family and the Mu family greatly. ”

I smiled and said, "Then it's none of my business, I don't have power anyway, my reputation is worthless to me." ”

I took a few puffs of cigarette, but I hadn't smoked it for a long time, and I thought it was boring, so I snuffed it out in the ashtray.

Gu Huizhi said: "Is my brother's matter clear?" ”

I said, "I haven't found my grandfather yet." ”

Gu Huizhi was a little lost, and after a while, she asked again, "What can I do?" For you? ”

I shook my head and said, "No one can do anything for me." ”

We chatted a few more words, we all talked about some and didn't, Gu Huizhi didn't stay with me for long, and left after drinking that cup of coffee, as soon as she left, I also sat there for a while, and was about to get up and leave, when someone suddenly bumped into me.

I glanced at him, it was a man, and before I could see his face, he quickly shoved something into my palm, and then turned around and quickly left.

I raised my hand to look at it, only to find that it was a note, written in the four characters of Dexing Tea House, and when I looked up again, there was no trace of the man in front of me.

I quickly grabbed the note in my palm, pushed open the door of the café, called a rickshaw, and dragged me out of front of the café.

When I arrived at Dexin Tea House, it opened again, and there was a small guy standing there picking tea, I looked at it for a while, walked over, and asked with a smile: "May I ask this little brother, can you buy it from Longjing?" ”

The little guy looked at me, looked at me a few times, and said, "How much?" ”

I said, "Eight taels." ”
