I don't know how to answer, saying it's a friend, it seems to have the meaning of climbing a relationship, if it's a subordinate, but it seems that the relationship between the two people, in addition to the different job ranks, is equal, and it's very casual.

Mrs. Huo also seemed to realize that her question was a little too embarrassing, she reacted and said with a smile: "I don't mean anything else, don't think about it, just treat me as a sister, Jing Chi and Chang Fan, in fact, have known each other for more than ten years, but the first time the two met, it was a long time ago, when the Mu family suffered a catastrophe, Jing Chi was taken by Steward Zhou to flee south, Changfan's father used to be a killer, and he was ordered to hunt down Jing Chi, but Jing Chi was only seven years old at that time, and Changfan's father didn't do it, In order to avoid the disaster of killing, Changfan's father-in-law, who is my father-in-law, secretly hid from everyone and brought them back to the mountain where they lived, at that time Changfan was almost the same age as Jing Chi, the two met in this situation, my father-in-law can be regarded as Jing Chi's life-saving benefactor, but Jing Chi and Steward Zhou did not stay on the mountain for long, almost two months, Steward Zhou left from the mountain with Jing Chi, nowhere to be found, and after more than ten years, the life of the two people has also changed a lot, After the death of his father-in-law, Changfan became the king of Tinghua Mountain and became a bandit, at that time it was the time to suppress the bandits, Changfan's strength was not enough, at that time under the siege of the government, it was the time of life and death, it was Jing Chi who found Chang Fan to save his life, and brought him down from the mountain, since then Chang Fan has been following Jing Chi, and decades have passed, Chang Fan has come to this point with the help of Jing Chi, in fact, I know Chang Fan's talent very well, he has not read any books, if it is not Jing Chi, I am afraid that he is now, still in front of him as a bandit leader in the mountains, where can he have such an identity now, sitting on the entire Jinling? ”

Mrs. Huo shook her head helplessly and said: "Jing Chi supported Changfan so much, but it was also to repay his father's life-saving grace to him back then, the two of them have been allies for so many years, and they can be regarded as the only best friends and brothers between each other." ”

I didn't expect that these two people would have this kind of relationship, no wonder, I have always wondered, how could Mu Jingchi support Huo Changfan, looking at it, in this world, there are too many people who are more talented and powerful than Huo Changfan, and Huo Changfan is just thrown into the pile, basically no one pays attention to it, Mu Jingchi is so bothered to plan for such a person, there is no reason, the original reason is that there are these relationships.

When Mrs. Huo saw my face, she smiled and asked, "You think it's strange too, don't you?" Jing Chi would actually support such a person as Changfan behind his back. ”

I hurriedly said: "Mrs. Huo, don't say that, President Huo naturally has his advantages, not necessarily just because of those relationships, if he is incompetent and incompetent, no matter how much others support him, it is useless." ”

For my compliment, Mrs. Huo looked at me with a smile and said: "You don't have to be so flattering, what kind of person Changfan is, I know very well, he has the talent to lead soldiers to fight, but he still lacks a lot of talent for governing the world, and as the president, he can not only lead troops to fight, but also have outstanding talent for governing the country, but unfortunately, he doesn't know a single word, let him read those complicated articles, every time it is like punishing him, and he doesn't know anything about the twists and turns in the officialdom. If it weren't for Jing Chi taking care of this, I'm afraid I don't know what to do in this world. ”

Speaking of these, Mrs. Huo's face smiled even deeper, she held my hand and said: "The matter between you and Jing Chi, in fact, I heard some from Changfan's mouth, and I also have some understanding of the grievances between the two of you, to be honest, Qingye, put aside everything else, Jing Chi is good to you, if he really has no feelings for you at all, you are no longer here a long time ago, how can you still sit as the second aunt and stay by his side?" ”

I didn't expect her to say this to me, and my first instinct was to ask, "Why are you saying this to me all of a sudden?" But someone came to you to talk to me? ”

Mrs. Huo hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, absolutely no one asked me to talk about this, I was nosy, and I heard some things about you from Changfan's mouth, so I just wanted to intervene." ”

I don't like to hear others tell me this, this feeling is not good, I was about to open my mouth to divert the topic, who knew that Mrs. Huo held my hand and said: "Qingye, you listen to my sister's advice, grievances are from the previous life, why torture yourself and tie those things to yourself, I can see that in fact, you also have feelings for Jing Chi, but you just refuse to let go of the previous things, Jing Chi's body is not very good, you also know, why should the two of them spend their time torturing each other." ”

Mrs. Huo seems to have made a special trip to this matter today, and she went straight to the point, without the slightest hint of winding around, but I had nowhere to hide, I could only smile helplessly and said: "Mrs. Huo, you misunderstood, we are very good, I never think there is any problem between us, if I have any prejudices against him, I will not marry him and be his second aunt." ”

Mrs. Huo said, "You still haven't told me what is in your heart, Qingye. ”

I didn't expect this Mrs. Huo to be so difficult, but I couldn't offend her, after thinking about it for a long time, I could only say to her: "The matter between us, in fact, it's not that I'll be fine if I let it go, can he let it go?" He can't, you said that he has feelings for me, yes, I admit it, he does have some feelings for me, but this feeling can never surpass his hatred for our Lu family, because he once killed his son with his own hands, just because my surname is Lu, such a person, do you think it is my problem? ”

Mrs. Huo didn't seem to know about this matter, she looked at me for a long time in amazement, and for a long time, she was still a little uncertain and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

I said: "It was he who personally gave the order and gave the poison to let my personal maid poison me, and the funny thing is that on the day the child was miscarried, I was unconscious, and thought it was a natural abortion, and finally learned that the child died at his hands, for a person like him, how do you let me let go of everything in my heart?" Even if I can do it, can he Mu Jingchi do it? ”

These words stopped Mrs. Huo Shi Xinlan, and she didn't speak for a long time.

I didn't want to listen to her anymore, so I put down the teacup in my hand, and simply got up and said to her: "Mrs. Huo, thank you very much for saying something like this to me today, and thank you for taking me here with such a face today, but there are some things that only the two of us know, and it is useless for others to say anything, please stop worrying about these things, and Qingye will leave." ”

After I finished speaking, I saluted her, turned around and was about to leave, Mrs. Huo stood up anxiously and said: "Actually, the reason why I said this to you today is because of Changfan's entrustment, he is Jing Chi's friend, the person who knows Jing Chi's mind best, you two are so deadlocked, he is very anxious, for the things between you have been difficult to sleep, Qingye, if he really did this, then the problem is not on you, but on the two of you, I only ask you one word, do you like him?" Have you ever thought about mediating your relationship? ”

Mrs. Huo asked this question, and I stood there for a long time without moving, everything around me was quiet, only the wind blew the curtains around the pavilion to a rustling sound, and the tea boiled on the stove was making a fluttering and boiling sound.

Mrs. Huo was there almost holding her breath waiting for me to agree, and I stood there for I don't know how long it took before I said to Mrs. Huo, "No, I have never liked it." ”

Then, I walked forward, didn't look back again, I only felt that Mrs. Huo's gaze stayed on me, but Chun'er and I just walked to the corner of the corridor, who knew that Mu Jingchi and Huo Changfan suddenly walked out from the opposite side, they were followed by the maid and Wang Zhizhi, a large group of people, I subconsciously stopped, and Mu Jingchi also happened to see me in the distance.

He didn't seem to expect me to come here, he frowned slightly and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Huo Shi Xinlan standing in the pavilion behind me, as soon as Shi Xinlan came into contact with Mu Jingchi's sight, he hurriedly walked over, arrived in front of them and said with a smile: "Jingchi, Qingye was invited by me." ”

Mu Jingchi knew that I was not familiar with Mrs. Huo, and immediately swept his gaze to Huo Changfan, Huo Changfan hurriedly explained with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, Jingchi, I will invite Qingye over, but my wife said that etiquette should be in place, we both know that your two ladies have the same weight in your heart, Qingye I also know, and on an occasion like today, it is also appropriate to invite her over." ”

Regarding Huo Changfan's explanation, Mu Jing didn't say anything, and after glancing at me, he didn't say a word to me, but said to Huo Changfan: "If it's okay, let her finish the meal and go back early." Mu Jingchi said this, paused for a few seconds, and added a sentence later: "She has been feeling a little unwell these days. ”

Huo Changfan naturally understood Mu Jingchi's words, and he immediately smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll find someone to send her back when the time comes." ”

Huo Changfan immediately exchanged glances with his wife Shi Xinlan, and after Shi Xinlan received the information from his eyes, he immediately smiled at Mu Jingchi and said, "Jingchi, since you and Changfan still have something to talk about, I will take Qingye to the table." Mu Jingchi didn't object, Mrs. Huo saw that she acquiesced, and said to Wang Zhizhi beside Mu Jingchi with a smile: "Zhizhi, do you want to join us too?" ”

Wang Zhizhi smiled decently and said, "Xinlan, no need, you can take Qingye over." ”

Shi Xinlan saw that Wang Zhizhi refused, so she said, "Since this is the case, then I will take Qingye over first." ”

Shi Xinlan smiled softly at me, then stretched out her hand to me and said; "Let's go, Kiyono, go with my sister."

I glanced at Shi Xinlan's hand for a long time, and then put my hand in her palm, and then, Shi Xinlan took me away from Mu Jingchi, Huo Changfan, and Wang Zhizhi.

However, when she arrived at the banquet, Shi Xinlan sighed again and again at me and Mu Jingchi without saying a word, and she quietly asked in my ear, "How long have you been like this?" ”

I replied casually, "It's been a long time." ”

Shi Xinlan asked again: "How long is it?" ”

I said, "It's been like this since we got married. ”

Shi Xinlan said: "It's not right for you to do this, you are his wife, he is your husband, don't say a word?" ”

I replied indifferently: "It's good, reduce the trouble for both sides." ”

I was afraid that Shi Xinlan would entangle the matter between me and Mu Jingchi again, and after arriving at the banquet hall, many people came up to greet her, so I hurriedly seized this opportunity and said to her: "Mrs. Huo, you are the host today, there are so many distinguished guests here, you need to greet her, you don't have to worry, I will take the maids to the table in order." ”

Shi Xinlan wanted to say something, but there were too many people around her to greet her, her time was limited, and she had just given birth for a few days, so she really couldn't waste all her time on me, so she could only let me leave in front of her with the maid.

But there is still a while before the banquet, so I have to find something to pass the time, but there is no one here I know, obviously, it is impossible to find someone to chat, I saw Chun'er staring at the western pastries on the table very greedy, so I smiled and took her, and began to choose something to eat at the banquet, Chun'er was afraid that others would see her maid eating, but because it was behind me, someone from the Huo family came over, and saw her holding a plate, but did not say anything, and then the two of us ate happily on the side.

However, we had only eaten at the banquet for more than ten minutes, and just as Chun'er and I were studying which pastries and biscuits were delicious, Fu Xiaowen's sentence suddenly came from behind us: "Qingye!" ”

Hearing this long-lost voice, my movements suddenly stiffened, and the hand that went to hold the cake paused for a few seconds, Chun'er didn't hear it, but saw that my expression was a little strange, so she asked puzzledly: "Miss?" What's wrong with you? ”

Not long after Chun'er asked this, both hands grabbed my shoulders from behind, turned her body directly to face me and said, "It's really you!" ”

Your tone was three points excited, two points eager, and your eyes fell on me with fiery eyes, and I saw crazy thoughts in his eyes.

Since marrying Mu Jingchi, I haven't been out for a long time, and this Fu Xiaowen, who I used to lure Wang Zhizhi to the bait, actually appeared here, and by coincidence, he actually saw me, and grabbed my shoulders in such a direct way, I can see his excitement at this time from his eyes.

But before I could think about how to solve this Fu Xiaowen skillfully, who knows, he was followed by a rich man, who seemed to be his friends, five or six people stood there, seeing Fu Xiaowen pinching me like this, I saw that there was definitely a story hidden between the two of us, and everyone's eyes squeezed each other, and they asked from the sidelines: "Good guy, who is this young lady Xiaowen?" He didn't tell us about it. ”

Fu Xiaowen didn't pay attention to the ridicule of those friends, just stared at me, and the hand holding my shoulder asked harder and harder, "Why?" Why are you doing this to me? Didn't you write to me and tell me that you have feelings for me? I don't believe what your brother-in-law said that time is true, it is definitely because he doesn't look down on our family, so he deliberately persecuted you, right? ”

I didn't expect Fu Xiaowen to say these words to me in public, his friends heard it more and more coaxing, attracting the attention of many people around, Chun'er hurriedly threw away the plate in her hand, and was about to push me Fu Xiaowen away, but she didn't have time to act.

Suddenly a sentence came from behind us: "Kiyono." ”

After Chun'er heard this voice, her movements immediately froze, she looked back, and at this glance, she happened to see Mu Jingchi standing ten meters away from us with someone, and in an instant, the originally noisy hall was completely quiet in an instant, as if someone had cast a spell, and those eyes all fell on our side.

As soon as Chun'er saw that it was Mu Jingchi, she immediately ran towards Mu Jingchi with great joy and called: "Sir! ”

Mu Jingchi didn't look at Chun'er who walked past, but his eyes kept falling on me, after he walked to me with someone pacing slowly, his eyes fell on Fu Xiaowen's hand that grabbed my shoulder, and then, Mu Jingchi chuckled, his eyes moved to Fu Xiaowen's face, and asked with a reserved smile that an elder should have: "What is Fu Gongzi doing here?" But do you have any questions for my aunt? ”

No one may have known that Mu Jingchi was normal before, but since Huo Changfan took office, he followed into the political arena, almost no one didn't know him, and the few young people who were still blindly coaxing before, when they saw Mu Jingchi, they subconsciously retreated a few times, and almost didn't dare to make any more noise.

As soon as Fu Xiaowen saw Mu Jingchi's appearance, the hand he grabbed on my shoulder slowly fell off, he naturally knew what Mu Jingchi's identity was, although his father was the second chief, but in front of Mu Jingchi, he also had to deal with it carefully, Mu Jingchi could make his father the deputy chief or the chief in one sentence, or let their family become a prisoner.

He wouldn't be stupid enough to collide with Mu Jingchi for me, he subconsciously took two steps back.

Mu Jingchi looked at him like this, and he didn't want to make a big fuss, after all, there were so many people around him, he could only take his eyes back from Fu Xiaowen, and then looked at me and said, "If it's okay, let's go, follow me to the banquet." ”

Then he held out his hand to me.

Seeing this, Chun'er stood aside and looked at me nervously, including all the people in the hall, but I didn't move for a long time, and when the discussion in the hall gradually dispersed, Mu Jingchi's hand still didn't take it back, but asked with a smile: "What's the matter?" Just because I didn't take you out to play in the morning, I'm so angry now? ”

I still didn't answer, and I didn't move, Mu Jingchi stretched out his hand in the air, and suddenly approached, he directly wrapped my hand in the palm of his hand, leading me forward, surrounded by many people, there were soldiers who controlled the order to open the way, and the onlookers all subconsciously retreated, Mu Jingchi was in everyone's sight, so grandly led me out of the hall.

He didn't let go until he walked to the quiet corridor, but there was still a smile on his face, and he didn't know when, it turned out to be cold.

Chun'er knew that the situation was not good, she didn't dare to talk nonsense, she only dared to follow quietly, Mu Jingchi kept walking with me forward, until she walked to the back of the banquet hall, Wang Zhizhi greeted her from the front, she just wanted to speak, but before she could speak, she saw Mu Jingchi actually holding me, she immediately moved, and her expression immediately paused, but after a pause for a few seconds, she reacted quickly, and walked towards us at an accelerated speed, and after arriving in front of Mu Jingchi, she said with a dignified smile on her face: "Jingchi, I just wanted to look for you." , Changfan is waiting for you to sit down. ”

Mu Jingchi didn't look at her, didn't even stop her talking, just took me towards the end of the banquet with an expressionless face, Wang Zhizhi saw it, and immediately followed us, and when I was led by Mu Jingchi to the table where Huo Changfan was sitting, Huo Changfan immediately stood up, and immediately stretched out his hand to us and said, "Jingchi, Qingye, take a seat here." ”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something, and immediately looked at Wang Zhizhi who was following behind us and smiled awkwardly and said, "No, it should be Mrs. Mu and Jingchi sitting here, Qingye is young, so he can sit with Xinlan." ”

In such a situation, Huo Changfan ignored Wang Zhizhi so much, it was not embarrassing, there were only two seats in their banquet, and the other position was naturally my Wang Zhizhi's, needless to say, but now, when Huo Changfan said so, everyone looked over here.

Wang Zhizhi behaved impeccable in the eyes of everyone, she didn't feel embarrassed at all, but smiled at Huo Changfan and said: "President Huo, it doesn't matter where I sit, the main Qingye is young and doesn't understand the rules, so let's sit next to Jingchi, and I can sit with Mrs. Huo." ”

Shi Xinlan hurriedly stood up from the chair, ordered the maid next to her to add a seat, and immediately smiled at Wang Zhizhi and said, "Come, Zhizhi, come to my side, I haven't said anything to you for a long time." ”

Wang Zhizhi said hello with a smile, and walked towards Shi Xinlan, this big and small turmoil was quietly resolved.

And Mu Jingchi, who was holding me, didn't even say a word, but just let go of my hand and said to me: "Come to the table." ”

Then I entered the banquet, and I was still standing there alone, Chun'er glanced at me, and I followed Mu Jingchi into the banquet and sat on his side.

Sitting at this table, all of them were some important officials, all of them were human spirits, so they changed the topic and talked elsewhere, no one paid attention to me, but Mu Jingchi actually put some of my favorite dishes in my bowl, and then he didn't talk to me, but laughed and talked with the people around him.

The things that are talked about at the table are naturally not of interest to women, if they are boring, they will be boring, and they are still sitting next to Mu Jingchi, when Wang Zhizhi is still dutifully smiling, I can't support it anymore on such an occasion, and finally when I just wanted to get up and leave, Mu Jingchi actually took a step ahead of me, pressed my hand between my legs and asked, "But you're a little tired?" ”
