Everyone in the room quietly looked at Mu Jingchi who was standing downstairs, and even Steward Zhou was a little nervous.

Mu Jingchi's face did not change, but he instructed Steward Zhou: "Take the child to the nursery." ”

Steward Zhou said, "Sir, it's better to ...... Let the lady carry it in, the child is crying now. ”

Mu Jingchi ignored Steward Zhou's words, but stretched out his hand to the maid beside him, who immediately handed the warm towel to Mu Jingchi's hand, and after he took it and wiped it twice, he slowly sat down at the table.

The maid picked up the carved ebony chopsticks on the table, carefully spread the dishes there, the whole hall was surprisingly quiet, and Steward Zhou saw that Mu Jingchi had not reacted, so he stretched out his hand to Wang Zhizhi and said, "Madam, give me the wind." ”

Wang Zhizhi naturally didn't know why Mu Jingchi ordered like this, but she didn't resist, and when Steward Zhou went to pick up the child from her, she let go.

Steward Zhou glanced at Mu Jingchi again, and then walked upstairs with Feng'er, leaving Wang Zhizhi and the maids.

The maids stood there and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Mu Jingchi, who was sitting there, said, "You also go out, no one is allowed to step into this hall without my permission." ”

When those maids heard Mu Jingchi's order, where was there still half a minute of friction, they quietly left from the living room, leaving Wang Zhizhi standing there alone.

When the living room was completely empty, Mu Jingchi, who was sitting with his back to us, said to me standing at the door, "You go in too." ”

I didn't expect him to find me coming out of the room, and for a moment, I didn't move, but remained silent, silent for a long time, and then I turned around and went back to the room.

The two maids at my door, following me, followed me into the room, and they closed the door, and the whole room fell into a dead silence, and there was no sound outside, and the maids were all there.

For the first time, this is the first time I think that the sound insulation effect of Mu Mansion will be so good.

It was quiet outside, I couldn't hear the sound of talking, I couldn't hear the footsteps, if I hadn't just come in from outside, I would have thought that the hall was empty at this time, I got up from the sofa and walked around the room a few times, the eyes of the two maids kept moving back and forth with me.

As time went on, I walked towards the door, and the two maids immediately stretched out their hands to block my way, and whispered, "Miss, Sir said that no one is allowed to go to the living room." ”

I said, "I want to drink water." ”

The two maids said, "Wait." ”

I looked at them coldly, and they were naturally not afraid of my gaze, and let me look at them, but they did not back down at all. I didn't break in, stared at them for a long time, then slowly retreated from the door, and sat down on the couch again.

At this time, there was a sound of a car downstairs, I thought it was my own illusion, until the horn of the car came from downstairs again very clearly, I got up and went to the window to look, just saw a pair of people from the gate of the Mu family, with a constant speed from the big iron gate to leave.

I felt a little strange, so I turned my head and asked the two maids in the back, "What guests did you have at home just now?" ”

The two maids replied in unison, "No." ”

I said, "Where did the downstairs car come from?" ”

The two maids said, "It's the Mu family's car, who should be going out." ”

At this moment, there was a knock at the door outside, and the maid was outside to remind us that we could come out.

When I heard this, I quickly walked downstairs, there was no trace of Wang Zhizhi in the hall, only Mu Jingchi was sitting at the dining table and eating.

I don't know why, I think the atmosphere is extremely delicate, especially the careful handover of the eyes of the maids, although Mu Jingchi didn't look back at me, he knew that I went downstairs, so he said to me standing behind him, "Come and eat." ”

I searched the house a few times, but I didn't see Wang Zhizhi's figure, and I looked upstairs again, and I was extremely sure, she definitely didn't go upstairs, so where did she go? Could that car be hers?

I was thinking about it for a few seconds, and the maid quickly pulled away the chair on the side of the table and motioned for me to sit down, but I didn't move, but asked Mu Jingchi, "What about her?" ”

Mu Jingchi said: "When the doctor bandages you, you can say that you can't eat it." ”

I asked again, "Where did she go?" ”

My tone was not polite at all, and even a little rushed, Mu Jingchi suddenly snapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table.

The maids took a few steps back cautiously, I thought that Mu Jingchi would be reprimanded for my mouthful, but I didn't expect him to slap the chopsticks on the table, he didn't say anything to me, but ordered the maids to change the food on the table.

Aunt Gui happened to be in the hall, and when she saw this situation, she took the maids to quickly and carefully remove the cold food from the table, and then looked at me again, as if telling me to sit down and not ask more.

When they entered the kitchen, I sat down, and Mu Jingchi put a plate of thinly sliced steak in front of me: "It's still warm, if you're hungry, put a mat first." ”

He handed me the spoon again, and asked me in a gentle tone, "How is the document that you were asked to translate last time?" ”

He never said anything about what had happened before.

I didn't answer, but the maid who had been taking care of me for the past few days came to the living room and said to Mu Jingchi with a smile: "Sir, Miss has already translated, let me go get it now?" ”

Mu Jingchi looked at the maid and said, "Go ahead." ”

The maid hurriedly said yes, and then hurriedly ran to the top again, and soon she took down the document I had translated, Mu Jingchi took it and put it in his hand and flipped it over, but didn't say anything, but handed the document back to the maid.

The maid smiled and asked, "Sir, is there a translation error in Miss?" ”

Mu Jingchi looked at me with satisfaction, he didn't answer the maid's words, but poured me a glass of warm milk and put it next to my hand.

The maid naturally retreated consciously.

I ate a few bouts of beef, and then said to Mu Jingchi, "I want to go out today." ”

Sister-in-law Gui brought the hot steamed dumplings out of the kitchen, and the steamed dumplings were crystal steamed dumplings, which had just come out of the cage. Crystal clear, he took one and put it on my plate: "Where to go." ”

I knew he would ask, so I didn't plan to hide it, but said, "Go and see Lin Wanwan and them." ”

Mu Jingchi didn't even refuse, he asked, "Afternoon or morning?" ”

I said, "Wait a minute." ”

He took me a few more slices of cut eggs and said, "Well, I'm going out just in time." ”

I saw the egg yolk in the egg, so I subconsciously wanted to pick out the egg yolk, Mu Jingchi glared at me, and my hand subconsciously retracted.

After the two of us finished eating, I went upstairs to change my clothes, but after entering the house, I didn't change immediately, but asked the maid who followed me, "Did you know what happened downstairs?" ”

The two maids were waiting for me to wash, and when I asked, they immediately shook their heads and said, "We don't have a living room." ”

I stared at them for a long time, and the two maids lowered their heads very low, and some did not dare to look at me, so I did not press them again, but went back to the dresser, flipped through the gestures inside, picked up a pair of earrings and said, "Ruping, come here." ”

The maid named Ruping took two steps back timidly with the water she was going to wash me later.

I smiled and said, "These earrings match your clothes today, come here and try them out." ”

She still didn't dare to take a few steps back, but my earrings could cover their wages for several years, and she didn't take too many steps, and I saw that she looked like she wanted to come but didn't dare, so I simply stood up, dragged her to the mirror, put it on for her, and said, "See for yourself, whether it's suitable." ”

The maid didn't resist, and stared at herself in the mirror for a long time.

I simply pulled another maid over, and said with a smile: "Ruyi, you have good skin, I have a pair of red crystals, which is very good for your complexion, come, you can try it too." ”

I took out another one from the jewelry box and put it in her ear to take a photo, and the maid was really excited, and the two of them were a little struggling.

I said, "Just say, 'You have one earring, one for each of you.'" ”

The two maids hesitated slightly, looking like they dared to say but didn't dare to speak.

I didn't push them too much, but I looked at them quietly for a while, and the maid with the red crystal earrings said, "We weren't in the living room, we were in the kitchen, and we only heard Madame crying all the time." ”

I said, "Didn't you hear anything but crying?" ”

The maid named Ruping immediately shook her head and said, "No, the kitchen door was closed, and we only vaguely heard the lady crying, and we really didn't hear the rest." ”

I just stared at them for a few seconds at their answers.

They couldn't guess what I was thinking, and stared at me with a little fear, when the mother-in-law downstairs came to the door and knocked on the door and said, "Miss, are you ready?" Sir is waiting for you downstairs. ”

The two maids saw that they didn't say why, so I didn't take the earrings they gave them, but returned them all.

I didn't take it, but turned around, sat down in front of the vanity mirror again, and said, "Take it, you don't have to pay it back." ”

After I combed my hair, half an hour had passed, and when I arrived downstairs, Mu Jingchi was still waiting, Steward Zhou was standing beside him and saying something, but as soon as I came, Steward Zhou's words stopped, Mu Jingchi picked up the teacup on the table and raised his eyes to look at me.

My clothes are still the same mourning clothes.

Obviously, this was one thing that made Mu Jingchi very unhappy, he frowned and asked, "Didn't you buy a new dress in the department store that day?" Why didn't I put it on. ”

I said, "It's not comfortable, I like old clothes." ”

Steward Zhou said: "You are so unlucky, although it is the mourning stage, but now that you are in the Mu family, you should wear civilian clothes." ”

Regarding Steward Zhou's reprimand, I also shot back expressionlessly: "Don't remind me, as soon as the fighting in Dongjun stops, I will go back immediately, and now I didn't say that I wouldn't let you send me to the Yuan Mansion to take care of me." ”

Steward Zhou didn't expect me to talk back to him, when he still wanted to say something.

Mu Jingchi interrupted a little impatiently and said, "Okay, let's go down." ”

Steward Zhou glanced at Mu Jingchi, the gloomy color between his eyebrows showed that he was extremely impatient at this time, and Steward Zhou naturally didn't dare to continue, but replied yes, he was about to leave from the hall, but just after he moved, he stopped again.

Mu Jingchi looked at him.

Steward Zhou said, "Sir, I still have one more matter. ”

He only said one word in a nutshell: "Say." ”

Steward Zhou lowered his head and said, "Vice Chief Fu found me that day. ”

He had just made a start, and Mu Jingchi knew what he was going to say, and he said with a cold eyebrow: "What's the matter." ”

Steward Zhou said: "Vice Minister Fu is raising the issue of marriage. ”

Mu Jingchi asked again: "How did you answer?" ”

Steward Zhou said, "I'm waiting for you to make a decision. Steward Zhou was silent for a while and said, "I have met the son of Second Elder Fu a few times, he is a talented, knowledgeable and romantic person, and he is the same age as Miss, why not, sir——"

"Why don't you make up this beautiful thing, right?" Mu Jingchi asked coldly.

Steward Zhou didn't answer, just lowered his head.

Mu Jingchi stared at him for a long time, and said coldly: "It's better to let you be the master of this family, I think you will point fingers at me the more you will point fingers at me." ”

Steward Zhou said in a cautious tone: "Sir, I definitely didn't mean that. ”

Mu Jingchi picked up the cup of tea on the table and brushed it twice and said, "A little deputy chief, even if you want to come to Panmu family, Lao Zhou, you dare to send it to my Mu Mansion." ”

Mu Jingchi got up, glanced at Steward Zhou, and walked outside.

The driver was waiting outside, Mu Jingchi got into the car first, and I naturally followed behind, but when I passed by Steward Zhou, I stopped for a while, glanced at him, couldn't help sneering, and continued to walk outside, and after getting in the car, the car drove away from Mu's house, and soon drove from the mountain to Yuan's mansion.

Mu Jing was going to go to Huo Changfan's side for a long time, so he put me at the door of the Yuan Mansion and didn't say anything to me, and soon asked the driver to drive the car away from the gate of the Yuan Mansion.

In just a year and a half, Yuan's mansion was deserted, and there were barren grasses everywhere, and the prosperity of the past had long been lost.

I stood in the doorway and watched for a while, then walked inside, and when I went inside, I realized how dilapidated it was.

I didn't dare to stay longer along the way, but I hurriedly walked towards the yard where Lin Wanwan now lives, and when I arrived, Xiaohuan was folding vegetables outside, and when she saw me coming, she trotted towards me, and called out very happily: "Young grandma!" ”

I smiled and asked her, "What about your aunt?" ”

Xiaohuan was silent for a while and said, "My aunt is now in the second master's house. ”

I probably expected her to go to mourn, and I didn't speak.

Xiaohuan asked me, "Do you want to go over?" ”

I said, "No, I'll just go in and wait for your aunt." ”

Xiaohuan glanced at me, then sighed, followed me into the house and poured a cup of tea, then left the house and continued to go outside to fold vegetables.

About half an hour, Lin Wanwan came back with the child in her arms, she came back with red eyes, she didn't expect me to suddenly leave from the Mu family and come here, she was slightly surprised and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

I got up from my chair and said, "Come and see you." ”

Lin Wanwan thought of something, and immediately gave the child to Xiaohuan, and quickly walked over and asked, "But the war over there in Dongjun has stopped?" ”

I said, "Not yet." ”

The light in Lin Wanwan's eyes fell silent again.

I know what she's worried about, she's worried about the cemetery, and Yuan Lin's tombstone.

I said, "Now that I've heard that there has been a fight in Dongjun, it hasn't hurt that area, so it shouldn't be much of a problem." ”

Lin Wanwan cried and said: "Now I can't even care about human life, let alone a tombstone, I didn't expect that the second master would not even be at peace after death." ”

I comforted her and said, "It's going to be fine, although the war is still unsettled, I heard that the Japanese army has retreated to Hedong County, so it can be seen that Dongjun is safe now." ”

Lin Wanwan sorted out her emotions and asked again, "Why did you come here today?" But what's the matter? ”

I said, "I'll come and see you." ”

Lin Wanwan glanced at the child playing in Xiaohuan's arms and said: "We are fine, although this side is not as good as before, but it has not treated us badly, at least three meals a day, there are people to send ingredients over, these are also ready-made, except for not being able to go out, the rest are very free." ”

She asked, "What about you?" ”

I was silent for a while and didn't speak, she thought I was being bullied over there, so she asked, "Could it be that Mu Jingchi has done something to you?" But it shouldn't be, he took you back to Mu's house to live, which shows that he has a little affection for you. ”

I didn't want to talk to her about it, but instead changed the subject and said, "I want to go back to East County first." ”

When Lin Wanwan heard my words, she immediately asked incredulously, "What did you say?" ”

I repeated, "I want to go back to East County." ”

Lin Wanwan asked, "Why?" ”

I said, "No why, I just want to go back early." ”

Lin Wanwan said: "But it's very dangerous over there, how can you go back?" ”

I said, "It's not clear yet, it's just that there's this idea at the moment." ”

When Lin Wanwan saw me say this, she knew that I was not happy during this time in the Mu family, she took my hand and said, "Why don't you move in with me?" Although my side is a little simpler, it is not as good as the Mu family. ”

I said: "Now it's not a question of whether I want to come over or not, but a question of whether Mu Jingchi will let me come, if he asked me to come over from the beginning, he won't wait for it at all." ”

Lin Wanwan was full of worry and said: "I think you should wait, the situation over there is so complicated, it will only increase your own danger in the past, and it will not do any good." ”

I said, "Well, I just hope that the fighting on the East County side will end as soon as possible." ”

Just as we had just said two words, a maid from the Mu family walked in outside, and she said to me at the door: "Miss, Mr. is waiting outside, you should go back." ”

Lin Wanwan and I didn't expect it to be so fast, the two glanced at each other, and Lin Wanwan didn't keep it, but said to me: "Go quickly." ”

The maid hadn't left yet, still standing there waiting for me.

I thought about it, then nodded, and said to Lin Wanwan, "Then I'll go first." ”

Lin Wanwan kept sending me to the door of Yuan's mansion, Mu Jingchi's car was really waiting there, he was sitting in the car and didn't come out, I stood at the door and watched for a while, and when the driver opened the door, I bent over and entered the car.

Mu Jing was sitting inside, and I didn't talk to him, but just sat down next to him.

We didn't speak all the way, the car went out of the city, and drove towards the mountain, and after the car stopped at the door of Mu's house, I got out of the car first, but who knows, as soon as I came out, I saw Tan Jun standing at the door waiting for Mu Jingchi.

After more than a year, I didn't expect that I would see him in such a situation, his appearance still hasn't changed in half a minute, I don't want to have any intersection with him, I stood there for a while, waiting for Mu Jingchi to come out of the car.

He saw Tan Jun, but he didn't speak, but walked straight towards Tan Jun.

But I don't know why, I actually found a drop of bright red blood from the corner of Mu Jingchi's white robe, I don't know if it's my delusion.

I followed Mu Jing and walked in together.

When Tan Jun saw me, he was still not half surprised, but called at me as usual: "Miss Lu." He continued to follow Mu Jingchi's side and walked inside.

The first thing Mu Jingchi did when he went upstairs was to go back to the room to change his clothes and come out, and then he took Tan Jun to the study, and the maids brought tea in.

I stood there for a while, and then quickly entered Mu Jingchi's room, the maid was coming out with his changed clothes, I immediately blocked in front of the maid, as soon as she saw me, she immediately called: "Miss." ”

I ignored her, but stared at Mu Jingchi's clothes and asked, "Do you want to wash these clothes?" ”

The maid said, "Yes, the gentleman just replaced?" ”

I said, "But what's it up with?" ”

The maid hesitated twice and said, "It seems to be blood." ”

I frowned and asked, "Mu Jingchi's body?" ”

The maid immediately denied it, saying, "No, it was someone else's blood that accidentally stained Mr.'s clothes." ”

When I listened, I didn't speak.

When the maid saw that I was silent, she asked again, "Is there anything else wrong with the young lady?" ”

I said, "It's okay, you can get out." ”

The maid immediately answered, and left in front of me with Mu Jingchi's clothes.

Mu Jingchi actually went to the presidential palace just now, but how could he come back with blood on his body? Where the hell did he go? I thought about it, walked downstairs again, found the driver who drove us home earlier, and asked, "Where did you just go?" ”

The driver looked at me for two seconds and immediately replied, "It's the presidential palace." ”

There was no trace of lying on the driver's face, but for some reason, I always felt that he was lying.

I thought about it and asked, "I saw blood on Mu Jingchi's clothes just now, but he was assassinated?" ”

The driver immediately said, "It's a little trouble, it's not a big deal, don't worry." ”

The driver was silent for a few seconds and then said, "I'm going to park, miss." ”

I knew I couldn't get anything out of him, so I didn't say anything and let him drive away.

I don't know why, I always feel weird, Mu Jingchi went to the presidential palace, it stands to reason that he shouldn't come back with blood, and the driver's panicked appearance just now seemed to be lying to me, but where did Mu Jingchi go just now?

I inexplicably feel that the matter seems to have something to do with me, otherwise the driver wouldn't be so looked, could it be related to Song Alcohol?
