032. Disgusting
Mu Jingchi was probably angry because of what happened last night, and I responded to him in a non-salty and nonchalant manner, but I went to his tent in the morning, and I didn't see him again in the morning or afternoon, saying that the ninth master invited him to the military camp guarded by the border pass.
I was a little bored, and I looked at the tent above me with my eyes open, and turned over and over in bed.
The maid who took care of me came in with food, and when she saw that I was bored like this, she smiled and asked me if I wanted to ride a horse.
I had never been interested in horses and so I turned her down on offer, and she didn't bother me anymore.
After another two hours, the maid came in again, and I asked, "Ninth Master, are they back?" β
But before the words came out, the maid pointed out the tent in a panic and said, "Ninth and ninth masters, they are back, but Mr. Mu seems to be a little injured." β
I immediately got out of bed, frowned, and asked, "What did you say?" β
I didn't wait for the maid to reply, I opened the curtain and ran out, and when I ran to Mu Jingchi's tent, there was a bunch of people outside the tent, and a maid came out with a basin of water from inside, and the basin was filled with blood.
I knew that something was wrong, so I rushed in, but when I got to the tent, I saw Wang Shuyi who was squatting beside Mu Jingchi's bed, treating the wound on his arm for him.
The house was also full of many people, including Yuan Chengjun, Yuan Lin, and some who knew or didn't know.
I subconsciously stepped back.
There were so many people in the tent that no one noticed my sudden intrusion.
After Wang Shuyi bandaged Mu Jingchi's injuries, she quietly stepped aside, and Yuan Chengjun stepped forward and asked him worriedly: "Do you want to ask a doctor?" β
Mu Jingchi sat up and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a small injury." β
Yuan Chengjun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, he said: "It was my negligence, I didn't expect that there would be assassinations in the barracks." β
At this time, someone walked in from outside, it was the Yuan family's army, and when he arrived in front of Yuan Chengjun, he gave a military salute and said, "Overseer, the assassin has been captured alive." β
When Yuan Chengjun heard this, he immediately asked sharply: "Where are the people now?" β
"Waiting for the Overseers to interrogate."
Yuan Chengjun was about to leave, when Mu Jingchi suddenly said behind him: "Ninth Master, slow down." β
Yuan Chengjun looked at him.
Mu Jingchi got out of bed. Standing in front of Yuan Chengjun, he said, "Can the Ninth Master hand over this person to me for interrogation?" β
Yuan Chengjun said to Mu Jingchi: "But your body? β
Mu Jingchi smiled slightly and said, "It's okay." β
Seeing him say this, Yuan Chengjun didn't say anything more, and soon asked people to escort the assassin up.
The man was wearing the uniform of the Yuan family, he lowered his head, so that people could not see his face, Mu Jingchi walked up and gently lifted the man's face, just a glance, he sneered and did not speak.
Yuan Chengjun saw Mu Jingchi's face, so he asked, "Jingchi, do you know this person?" β
Mu Jingchi withdrew his hand from the man's face, Wang Shuyi handed him a clean towel, he wiped it twice, and said softly: "It's an old acquaintance." β
Yuan Chengjun suddenly realized, he said: "Since it is an old acquaintance, then it is inconvenient for me to meddle in this matter, if Jing Chi needs help, just ask." β
Mu Jingchi said, "Thank you, Ninth Master." β
Yuan Chengjun didn't stay long, when even the people in the tent dispersed, leaving me standing there, Mu Jingchi found me in a moment, but he just glanced at me, didn't say much, and sat back on the bed again.
Wang Shuyi handed him a cup of tea, he took two sips, quickly closed the teacup, looked at the kneeling man and said, "What to do this time, I don't need to say more." β
I don't know who this sentence was said to, and the next second Xie Dong walked out of the shadows, and before the person who stabbed could react, Xie Dong's knife cut his throat in the next second.
The man didn't even have time to say a word, his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground spitting blood, and his death was extremely tragic.
My hands were shaking, shaking, but no one in the room spoke, as if they were extremely normal.
Mu Jingchi probably couldn't stand the smell of blood, coughed a few times, and soon the person's body was dragged down.
Only then did he lean back on the bed and look at me and ask, "Why are you here?" β
I still couldn't come back to my senses, and my eyes stared at the blood on the ground with a slightly dull look, but soon, even the blood was cleaned up, as if it had never happened, only the smell of blood hidden in the air was faintly floating on the tip of my nose.
Mu Jingchi said softly; "The smell of blood in the house is heavy, go back to your own account with the maid."
I really couldn't stand the smell of blood, I didn't say anything, I covered my nose and turned around and ran away, and after rushing outside, I finally couldn't help it, clutching my chest and vomiting violently.
A maid came up and asked me if I was okay, I shook my head, my face was pale, and I said the word "nothing" in a tight voice, and the whole person collapsed and returned to his account.
After that, the maid came into my tent and invited me out to eat, and I huddled on the bed, trembling and telling her that I was not hungry.
The maid did not notice anything strange about me, she was separated from me by some distance, and when I had eaten enough during the day, she left without further words and left the door of my tent.
The corpse that Xie Dong had killed was quickly tied to the flagpole of the barracks, and the man's blood flowed out of the neck and almost filled the flagpole.
The weather in the north was cold, and the blood did not disappear for half an hour, and the flagpole was covered with bright red ice.
It was not until the next morning, when the maid came in again to invite me to dinner, that I found that I was sick, with a high fever, sweating all over, and not even having the strength to speak.
As soon as the maid saw this, she panicked and wanted to run out of the account and call someone, but I immediately called out to her and said, "No, don't alarm people, just bother the girl, pour me some hot water and find some antipyretics." β
The maid's face was full of worry and said, "But you burned like this......"
I said, "It's okay, I'll be fine after taking the medicine." β
When the maid saw that I insisted, she had no choice but to give up, and she quickly found the medicine for me, and after I had taken two pills, I drank a large glass of water, and then I felt that my breathing was a little easier.
Soon, I changed my clothes again, and followed the maid out of the tent, and went out to eat, and as I passed the flagpole, I tried not to look at the corpse, and walked quickly in a cold sweat, until I finally reached the back of the dining tent. Mu Jingchi was sitting next to Yuan Chengjun for dinner, and I walked over to him and slowly sat down beside him.
He was talking to Yuan Chengjun, and after sensing my arrival, he asked sideways, "Sick?" Why did you lose your appetite last night? β
I said, "No, it's just that I've eaten a little bit during the day." β
I didn't look at Mu Jingchi, so he didn't notice my abnormality for the time being, but just used chopsticks to clip some vegetarian dishes for me and said: "It's cold and snowy here all the year round, and it's a border pass, and there are few vegetables and fruits. β
I hummed and picked up some with my chopsticks.
Mu Jingchi saw that I had eaten obediently, so he smiled with satisfaction.
The wild vegetable tasted a little bitter, if it was usual, I would have tasted the first bite, and would never taste the second bite, today I was a little worried, so I didn't care about how it tasted, just asked: "Didn't Wang Shuyi send back to her hometown?" How could it suddenly appear here. β
Mu Jingchi admired the singing and dancing in the tent and said, "Thanks to her this time." He picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said, "Otherwise, I am the one who hangs on the banner today." β
My hand holding the chopsticks tightened slightly, although I left in a hurry that day, and I didn't go deep into what happened that day, but I also listened to the chatter of the maids in the account, it turned out that the assassin's first shot could have killed Mu Jingchi, but I didn't expect Wang Shuyi, who didn't know when to come, suddenly rushed out and pushed Mu Jingchi hard, and the shot was like grazing on his arm.
only to save Mu Jing from death.
I silently poked the meat in the bowl with my chopsticks and said, "It seems that she has now become your lifesaver." β
He didn't speak.
After a while, he asked again: "That assassin, why did you kill that person without interrogating him?" Do you know the details of the other party? β
When Mu Jingchi heard my words, he looked at me sideways, I felt his gaze, and also looked at him sideways, suddenly thought of something, and immediately panicked and didn't go over, pretending to look at the song and dance in front of me and said: "When will we go back, I am not too accustomed to the climate here." β
Just as my heart was beating hard, Mu Jingchi suddenly stretched out his hand to hold my cold hand on the table and said, "I'll go back tomorrow." β
I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay." β
However, he did not let go of my hand, and it was inconvenient for me to eat with my left hand, so I simply put down my chopsticks and watched and danced with him.
After breakfast, today is the day of hunting, so after everyone finished breakfast, they were ready to go hunting, Mu Jingchi and I took leave, saying that I was not feeling well and wanted to go back to rest, Mu Jingchi saw that my face was indeed a little red, and he did not keep it, so he let me go.
When I went back, Wang Shuyi followed me, about Mu Jingchi sent to take care of me, I gave her a cold look, and went directly into my tent.
When she came in with me, she boiled hot water for me and gave me warm tea.
I sat there and looked at her coldly, and when she brought the tea to me, she was about to hand me the teacup, and I got up from the bed and looked at her with a blank face, and she didn't back down, but just stood there with her eyebrows lowered.
When the distance between us was no closer, I took the cup of tea from her hand and splashed it in her face.
It was a cup of boiling water, splashed on her face, she quickly covered her eyes, let out a violent scream, and then she fell to the ground, lying on the ground and screaming heartbreakingly.
I slammed the cup in my hand down on her, and her screaming stopped instantly, and she just sat down on the ground, her hands covering her rapidly reddening face.
She knows what my cup of tea means, she has always been very smart, otherwise how could she think of casually, using a maid to lure me into the bait, and successfully kick me out of the Mu family.
She sat down on the ground without a word, and soon laughed twice, and said in an extremely low voice, "Miss's temper is still the same as before, and it has not changed at all. β
Soon she removed her hand from her face, and the red and swollen face completely appeared in front of me, she still knelt on the ground as usual, picked up the teacup that I had smashed, and when she was about to withdraw, I sneered and said: "I am not the original Lu Qingye, and you are not the original Wang Shuyi." β
She lowered her eyes and said, "I know." β
I said, "From this cup of tea, the past friendship between you and me has been written off from now on." β
There was a smile on the corner of Wang Shuyi's mouth, she didn't speak, she held the fragments, and withdrew from my tent.
It's because I'm naΓ―ve, I still have some thoughts about her, and now I have to admit it. She is not the former Wang Shuyi, and how can I still be the second miss of the Lu family who is ignorant of the world.
After Mu Jingchi came back from hunting, he didn't say a word about the injury on Wang Shuyi's face, just glanced at me, and then asked a good doctor from Yuan Chengjun to treat the burns on her face.
We didn't stay here for long, Yuan Lin and I didn't even meet alone, Mu Jingchi had a wound on his hand, and I was not feeling well, so I flew back from Beiguan the next day.
The war on the Yuan family's side is not completely complete, and it will take more than a month to stay, so they didn't go back with us.
After arriving at home, Zhou's mother turned pale with fright when she learned that Mu Jingchi Beiguan had been assassinated, and she came to me several times to ask me if I was at the scene at the time of the incident and whether I knew who the assassin was, but I did not answer her.
I rested at home for almost two days, and the next night I was summoned to the study by Mu Jingchi, because after returning from Beiguan, I was not yet well, so when the servant came to call me, I had just woken up from a nightmare, and after hearing the servant's words, I asked the servant; "Did you tell me what happened?"
The servant shook his head and said, "No, I just let you go." β
At this time, I was soaking wet and very weak, but I didn't waste time, quickly changed out of my pajamas, and went to Mu Jingchi's study, when I arrived there, Wang Shuyi was serving tea at the table, the wound on her face was not healed, and she was still wearing medicine, which did not look very beautiful.
I looked at Mu Jingchi and asked, "Brother-in-law, is there something wrong with you calling me over?" β
He put down the pen in his hand, then looked up at me, and when he saw that my face was a little pale, he asked me, "Is the cold still good?" β
I said, "Just a little cough." β
Mu Jingchi hummed and asked, "Tan Xiyan is your grandfather?" β
I said, "Yes, it's my grandfather." I thought about it for a moment, and then said, "But my grandfather has been gone for many years." β
Mu Jingchi said, "Really? β
I said, "Yes." β
He didn't speak, but after a while, he said, "You are not feeling well, rest early." β
I said, "Why did you suddenly ask about my grandfather?" β
He smiled and said, "It's okay, just ask casually." After he finished speaking, after a while, he took the brush handed over by Wang Shuyi, wrote something on the paper, and muttered as if unintentionally: "In other words, there are only two people left in this world, you and your cousin." β
I was about to say something, but he stopped looking at me and said again, "Go down and rest." β
I clenched my fists for a long time before I let go and said, "Okay, then I'll go and rest." β
He didn't lift his eyes, just hummed.
I didn't expect Mu Jingchi to call me into the study, and I just asked these two sentences, but when I returned to the room, I only felt trembling, I didn't know what to do, I wanted to smoke, but I searched and searched, but found that there was not a single cigarette, I stood at the window all night.
The next morning, Mrs. Yuan called and said she wanted to invite me to her house.
I was sitting in the dining room eating at the time, and it was the servant who answered the phone to deliver the news, and I was a little embarrassed, and I just wanted the servant to refuse it for me.
Mu Jingchi, who was sitting there reading the newspaper, said: "Since Mrs. Yuan has invited, she asked Mother Zhou to accompany you, and it just so happens that you are also going out to walk around, and it seems that your face is not very good these days." β
I glanced at him and could only say a good word.
After breakfast, Zhou's mother accompanied me to Mrs. Yuan's house, there was nothing else, Mrs. Yuan was still my sister's business, she was talking to me about this matter at the card table, I was a little out of state, so I lost a mess, for Mrs. Yuan's please, I just casually agreed.
It wasn't until about two o'clock in the afternoon that I got up and asked Mrs. Yuan, "Do you have a phone at home?" β
When Mrs. Yuan saw me asking, she replied with a smile: "Yes, yes." After she finished speaking, she asked again, "You want to call?" β
I said, "Yes, I want to borrow Mrs. Yuan's phone for use." β
She immediately summoned the servants of the house and said, "Take the young lady to the hall." β
The servant came over and led me, and Zhou's mother wanted to go with me, so I said casually: "You are here to accompany the distant wives." β
Zhou's mother can only give up.
After the servant led me to the living room of Mrs. Yuan's house, the servant waited by him, probably wanting to wait for me to finish the phone call and then lead me back, and I smiled and said to her, "You go first, I will go over after I finish the call." β
When the servant heard this, he said yes, bowed his head and left the living room.
As soon as the servant left, I picked up the phone and skillfully shook a number, and after the phone was connected, there was a sentence from Song Alcohol: "Which one?" β
I said, "It's me, Song Ol." β
As soon as he heard that it was me, he asked, "Have you come back from Beiguan?" β
As soon as he said this, I knew that the person who assassinated Mu Jingchi in Beiguan was our people.
Song Yu said again: "I have something to look for you." β
I also said, "It just so happens that I have something to look for you." I thought for a moment: "But it's not convenient for us to meet, so I said it on the phone." β
Song Yu said: "Then let me say it first? β
I said, "Well, you say it first." β
There was a pack of cigarettes on the table here, and I smoked one and lit it for myself.
Song Yu directly stated his purpose on the phone: "Grandpa wants to know which dock Mu Jingchi gave to Yuan Chengjun from which dock he entered. β
I didn't even want to say: "Okay, you're done, it's time for me to say, did you send the people from Beiguan?" β
Song Ol said yes.
I said, "Mu Jingchi summoned me to the study last night and asked me about my grandfather, and he probably noticed that my grandfather was still alive. β
Song Ol said: "When the man's assassination failed, we already expected him to find out. β
I said, "I advise you not to make any moves in the near future, Mu Jingchi is a very suspicious person." β
Song Ol said: "We will be measured. β
This time. The servant came to the living room again, stood not far from me, and said with a smile, "Miss, Mrs. asks you, is it okay?" β
With a cigarette in my fingertips, I looked back at the servant and said, "All right, I'll come now." β
When the servant heard this, he turned again and went back to reply.
I quickly said to Song Alcohol: "You guys be careful recently, I still have something to do, hang up first." β
Song Ol said, "Okay." β
Soon, I put down the phone in my hand.
I sat there for a while, snuffed out the cigarette in my hand in the ashtray on the table, got up and left the living room.
Arriving at the chess and card room, Mrs. Yuan asked with a smile: "Oh, Qingye, why have you been there for so long?" Mrs. Joe and I waited so long. β
I laughed apologetically and said, "I had something to do just now, but now that it's resolved, I'm really sorry for making you wait so long." β
I sat back at the table again, and Mrs. Yuan smiled and asked me if it was fun to go to Beiguan this time, and I drank the water and said, "It's different from our side, it's a thick layer of snow, half a layer of people high, and the wind is so strong." I pointed to my face and said, "Look, I'm coming back from there." The skin is rough. β
Mrs. Joe threw the cards and made a fuss and said, "Oh, if you want me to go over, you can't stand the weather there, it's rough to death." Then he lit a cigarette for himself.
Mrs. Yuan glanced at Mrs. Qiao and said, "Anyway, we women, let's stay at home and enjoy some blessings." β
After a while, Mrs. Qiao suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Mrs. Yuan, when will your ninth master's battle be over?" β
Mrs. Yuan looked at the cards for a while, and replied with a smile: "I heard that there are still ten days before I return." β
Mrs. Qiao glanced at me, smiled ambiguously and asked, "Isn't that going to start the marriage?" β
Referring to this matter, Mrs. Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, yes, when the master and Lin'er come back, the marriage should be prepared." β
I sat there and didn't speak, just staring intently at the cards in my hand.
A few people hit until four o'clock in the afternoon, and the rest of the wives had to go home to dine with their husbands, so naturally they couldn't continue, I was just pulled by Mrs. Yuan to make up the number, and as soon as they left, naturally I had to go, and as soon as I got up, Mrs. Yuan grabbed me and asked, "Have dinner at home and then leave?" β
I smiled and said, "No, I'm a little unwell today, why don't I stay with you another day?" β
She saw that my face was indeed very pale, so she said, "Okay, well, since you are not feeling well, go back to rest early, and remember to call me when you get home." β
I smiled, and then Mrs. Yuan sent me out of the house, and I got into the family car and left Yuan's house.
When I arrived at home, it was already meal time, Zhou's mother took my coat, and I walked towards the living room, and when I arrived there, Mu Jingchi was sitting at the dining table waiting for me, and when he saw me coming back, he asked with a smile: "How are you getting along with Mrs. Yuan today?" β
I rubbed my neck and complained, "I'm tired after playing a round of cards." β
Mu Jingchi said with a smile: "Mrs. Yuan doesn't have many hobbies, and cards are her favorite." β
I sat down, the servant brought the meal to the table, Mu Jingchi handed me the chopsticks, I took a few bites and said, "Mrs. Yuan told me about her sister again. β
When Mu Jingchi heard this, he asked, "How did you get back?" β
I said, "What else can I say?" Aren't they all promised? I thought about it for a while, and then said, "Hey, brother-in-law, by the way, I think Mrs. Yuan's sister is really good, do you want to consider it?" β
He took the food for me and said, "Didn't you let me marry again?" He laughed out loud and said, "What? Changed your mind? β
I said, "When I get married, you will be alone in this family, and you will be lonely." β
Mu Jingchi saw that I actually had such an awareness, and he smiled and said, "It seems that I am a lot more sensible? β
I said, "You really don't think about it?" β
Mu Jingchi raised his head and knocked on my head and said, "Eat first." β
I looked at Wang Shuyi behind him, and I sneered silently.
I lowered my head and continued to pick up the food.
The meal ended quickly, and when it came to the evening, Zhou's mother was about to give Mu Jingchi medicine upstairs, I immediately got up from the sofa and said to Zhou's mother, "Give me the medicine, and I'll send it." β
Mother Zhou was a little surprised, she didn't expect me to be so sensible today.
I ignored her and almost snatched the medicine from her hand.
When I arrived at Mu Jingchi's study, he was really in it to deal with business, I cleared my throat, and then walked slowly towards him, and the servant gently put the bowl of medicine in his hand, he didn't notice that it was me, and stretched out his hand to me, I was stunned for a few seconds, thinking that he was asking me to take the medicine. I hurriedly put the medicine bowl into his bowl, but the next second he said, "Ledger." β
It turned out to be a mistake, I quickly took the medicine bowl from his hand, hurriedly rummaged through his desk, and picked up something similar to the account book, and was about to hand it to him, but Mu Jingchi didn't lift his head and said two words: "Wrong, that's a receipt tax bill." β
I glanced at the mess of papers on the table and asked anxiously, "Which ledger is that?" β
As soon as I asked, I suddenly realized that I had been exposed, so I immediately covered my lips with my hands and stared at him with wide eyes.
As if he had already noticed me coming in, he leaned back in his chair and looked at me and said, "I can't even tell the difference between the account book and the tax bill, and I still came to be my maid." β
Seeing that he recognized me, I took my hand off my mouth and said a little angrily, "So you recognize me!" β
He raised his hand and pinched my face: "If you walk lightly in the future, you won't be able to recognize it." β
I said, "I'm light enough!" β
He snorted, as if he was a little tired, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and said, "Rub it for me." β
I obediently reached out and rubbed his shoulder, and he sighed softly.
For a while, no one in the room spoke.
I whispered, "Are you healed?" β
He closed his eyes and replied briefly, "Almost." β
I nodded.
He suddenly grabbed my hand and put it on his temple and said, "Here." β
I said, "Do you have a headache?" β
He mumbled and said, "Sort of." He leaned there and fell asleep for a while.
When I felt his breathing steady for a long time, I stopped my hand movements. A whisper whispered in his ear: "Brother-in-law." β
He didn't respond, so I leaned closer to his face and called, "Brother-in-law......" Still didn't respond.
I felt a little tired on my hands, so I let go of his temple, moved a chair and sat down beside him, took a book from his desk, and flipped through it with his boredness.
At this time, Wang Shuyi pushed the door in from the outside, she was holding a cup of tea in her hand, she saw me and was slightly stunned for a few seconds, and then, she walked up with low eyebrows, just put the tea on the table, I picked up the cup of tea casually, took a sip and said, "You can go out." β
The wound on her face has healed a lot, but even if it is much better, it is inevitable that there will still be a scar, and the scar is not big, just a small patch of red.
She said, "Yes." He gently withdrew.
As soon as Wang Shuyi left, I immediately put the book in my hand on the table, picked up the brush on the table, and drew something on Mu Jingchi's face like a thief.
His face was already white, and it was black. I covered my lips and couldn't help but laugh.
But I endured it, and continued to paint on his face one by one, after drawing several turtles, I quietly put down the brush, just about to leave, a force grabbed me, and when I looked back, my hand was grabbed by Mu Jingchi, but he did not open his eyes, nor did he speak.
Just when I couldn't tell whether he was awake or not, a force suddenly pulled me, and my whole body fell into his arms.
Before I could exclaim, he pinched my face and said, "How dare you make fun of me, huh?" β
With a brush in his hand, he went straight to my face, and I was so shocked that I immediately covered my face and shouted excitedly: "I was wrong, I was wrong, brother-in-law, I was wrong!" β
But where did he pay attention to me, controlled my writhing body, and took the brush and put the pen on my face.
The tip of the nose was cold and cold, and it made people feel itchy when it swept on my face, and I couldn't laugh more and more uncontrollably, but my mouth was crying and begging for mercy: "Itchy, brother-in-law, you let go of me, I don't dare anymore, please." β
But not long after I begged for mercy, he simply pinched my chin, grabbed my face-scratching hand and said, "Don't move." β
My head was controlled by him, and I couldn't hide but watch him draw on my face with a pen, and my eyes followed the tip of his nose.
I don't know how long he was drawing, but his pen suddenly stopped, and I thought he was asking for mercy, but who knew that he added a few more strokes of his beard under the tip of my nose.
I glared at him, glared at him, glared at him for a long time, and then I burst into tears, smacked him hard and said, "You're a bad person!" β
After saying that, he ignored him, got up from his arms and ran.
I happened to meet a few servants in the hallway, and when they saw what was on my face, they were stunned at first, but suddenly they couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.
Seeing this, I covered my face and cried again, and rushed into the room.
Later, Zhou's mother came to see my room and knocked on the door. I ignored her, just cried, and then scolded Mu Jingchi.
Zhou's mother said outside the door: "Oh, you made a fuss first, why are you crying like this now." β
I cried so much that I said: "I'm a girl, my face was turned like this by him, and I was seen, I'm about to die of shame, how can I see people in the future!" β
Zhou's mother laughed outside the room and said, "Mr. was also seen by the maid, and he was also embarrassed, just open the door, it's okay." β
I said, "I'm not going to go, you go away!" β
It wasn't until the next morning that I came down from upstairs, ignoring Mu Jingchi, who sat at the table and read the newspaper, smiled and asked, "Are you still angry?" β
I snorted, ignored him, and ate.
He smiled and flipped through the newspaper and said, "No wonder everyone says that only villains and women are difficult to raise." β
I continued to hum.
At this time, the phone in the living room rang, and then the servant walked in and said, "Miss, Mrs. Yuan just called to ask if you are free today, go to her house to play." β
I said, "Are you going to let me play cards again?" β
The servant said, "Yes, Mrs. Joe, they are too." β
I glanced at Mu Jingchi, he put down the newspaper and said, "Don't want to go?" β
I said, "I don't know how much I've lost." β
Mu Jingchi smiled and said, "I forgot." Then he said to Steward Zhou on the side, "Go upstairs and get some money for Miss." β
Steward Zhou sighed and went upstairs.
I said, "Will you come with me?" β
He said, "Mrs. Yuan's sister is also there? β
I said, "No." β
He smiled and said, "I won't go to the women's card field, you can go." β
I grimaced and said, "Coward." β
I arrived at Yuan's house, sure enough, Mrs. Yuan and they waited for me there for a long time, so they hurriedly pulled me to the card table, these rich ladies, there is nothing to do all day, they only play cards, and they play, I have always lost, never won much, but they are very happy.
At the end of the second half, Mrs. Qiao had a seizure of smoking, because Mrs. Yuan didn't like the smell of smoke very much, although sometimes Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but smoke two in front of her, but today she still got up and smiled and said, "I'm going to smoke a cigarette." β
He walked towards the hall.
As soon as Mrs. Joe left, I said, "I'll go to the bathroom." β
Mrs. Yuan was talking to the other ladies, but she didn't notice me, and when I came out of the bathroom, I went to the living room, and sure enough, Mrs. Yuan was leaning on the sofa and smoking.
I walked over and smoked a cigarette case from the table, and Mrs. Qiao was a little surprised and asked, "You smoke too?" β
I said, "Occasionally." β
She smiled and said, "You're not very old, but you're quite old in smoking posture." β
I ignored her. I just smiled, lowered my head and lit the cigarette, and after a while, I exhaled and looked at Mrs. Qiao and said, "I heard that Mrs. Qiao usually likes to go to Chunlan Courtyard to listen to Zirou play the piano?" β
Her face turned pale, she glanced at me, and asked, "What are you talking about?" I don't understand. She snuffed out the cigarette in her hand and was about to leave, and I laughed behind her and said, "Mrs. Joe doesn't ask me why I know?" β
Mrs. Joe stopped.
I straightened up and looked at her: "I once went to meet Zirou, and the incense burning in his room was the fragrance of Mrs. Qiao's body. β
She turned abruptly, looked at me angrily, and asked, "What the hell do you want?" β
I snuffed out the cigarette from my hand and walked towards Mrs. Jo, and when I reached her, I leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Do me a favor." β
Her eyes swept to my face, but she didn't move, just whispered, "Say it." β
"Ask Mrs. Yuan which dock her family's latest batch of arms went to."
She was slightly surprised, but quickly, she restrained her emotions.
A servant walked in and said that Mrs. Yuan had urged us to go over and play cards.
I tapped her on the shoulder twice, didn't say anything more, and walked straight to the chess and card room.
This Mrs. Qiao, surnamed Jin, named Yanzhen, is the aunt of a medicinal herb merchant in Jinling City, and her husband is now over half a hundred years old, but she has a very close relationship with Zirou in Chunlan Courtyard.
She didn't seem to expect that the greasy fragrance on her body had already exposed herself cleanly, but how many of these rich wives had been to Chunlan Courtyard? I think it's very rare, and even if there is, it's just that they tacit each other and don't expose each other.
So no one has discovered this problem yet, and Mrs. Qiao probably owes it to her hiding it well.
When Mrs. Joe and I got back to the table, Mrs. Yuan smiled and asked us why we had been there for so long.
Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Yuan have always been very good, they have been partners for many years, and it is because of this relationship that Mrs. Qiao's husband has occupied a place in Jinling City.
Mrs. Joe said with a smile; "I smoked two, and it took a little longer."
Mrs. Yuan screamed strangely and said, "Oh, you're going to die, don't you want to die if you smoke like this?" β
Mrs. Joe smiled, and the table naturally started again, so no one paid attention to the little episode just now.
I played a little late today, because Mrs. Yuan lost, refused to let go, and dragged everyone here for dinner, and these wives were also free. As soon as this card was played, it reached seven or eight points, and Mu Jingchi came here several times, but Mrs. Yuan refused to let go.
At ten o'clock, Mu Jingchi personally came to Yuan's house to pick up people, I saw him coming, he refused to even play cards, ran over and dragged him and said: "Brother-in-law, come and help me, I lost a lot of money." β
When Mrs. Yuan saw that I was in a hurry to look like this, she sneered and laughed and said, "It's just that I lost so much, so I am in a hurry, your brother-in-law has money, silly girl." β
Mrs. Qiao also accosted her and said, "Hurry up, let's women win some money from Mr. Mu." β
Mu Jingchi handed the windbreaker to the servant on the side and asked with a smile, "It's not over yet?" β
Mrs. Yuan said: "It's still early, wait a while, if you don't win all the money in Qingye today, you are not allowed to leave." β
I said, "They all bullied me!" β
Mu Jingchi touched my head and said with a smile, "I'll watch you play." β
I dragged Mu Jingchi to the card table, but it didn't take long for Mrs. Yuan's house to call, and she went to answer the phone, so Mu Jingchi took my place.
I went to Mrs. Yuan's position.
As soon as Mu Jingchi came up, he grabbed a seven-cylinder, and when he looked at me, he smiled and wanted to let it go.
I stared at him, my eyes rolling with the cards in his hand.
He smiled and asked, "Do you want to?" β
I immediately nodded.
Mrs. Qiao said on the side: "Hey, this is not good, you can't play the family card." β
Mu Jingchi smiled and said, "Mrs. Qiao refuses. β
Then he took the seven cylinders back and made five loaves of bread.
Immediately after Mrs. Joe put the cards, as soon as Mrs. Joe put the cards, I thought that no one should have listened to the cards, so I threw one casually.
Who knew that Mu Jingchi said: "Hu." β
I looked at him in astonishment, and was about to destroy the card, but I reached out to get it, but Mu Jingchi grabbed my hand and said with a smile: "I have no regrets." β
I said, "I'm going to ruin." β
Then he took back the cards that were given to him, and Mrs. Qiao laughed on the side and said, "Mr. Mu, don't bully her, she has lost a day today, and if she loses again, she will cry when she goes home." β
Mu Jingchi kept showing me cards after that, and Mrs. Qiao was miserable and screaming.
Later, when I went back, I won back all the losses I lost today, and Mu Jingchi was happy when he saw me holding the pile of money, and said with a smile: "Look at your little wealth fan." β
I said, "You don't know how many times I've lost them in a row, and only this one time I've won." β
He pulled the long hair from my ear for me and said, "They've been fighting for half their lives, how long have you been?" β
I continued to count happily, and when I was done, I stuffed them all into my bag and said, "No, I'm going to keep it." β
He said, "Where do you want me?" β
I hugged him tightly and looked at him warily.
He smiled and said, "Little white-eyed wolf." β
After returning home, Wang Shuyi came out to greet us, and as soon as I thought of raising my eyebrows just now, I couldn't help but tell Zhou's mother how I turned defeat into victory at the poker table, and how I dug up those Mrs. Yuan who won my money.
Zhou's mother said: "It's okay for you to go to the casino, mahjong?" She shook her head and said, "I went with you last time, that card." She shook her head and sighed twice, her eyes full of disgust.
After a while, he said, "It must be that Mr. has been feeding you cards, right?" β
Mu Jingchi was also in a good mood today, and when he heard Zhou's mother's words, he smiled and said nothing, but handed over the clothes to Wang Shuyi and said, "I didn't feed it, she won it." β
I immediately triumphantly said, "Look, yes, I said I won." β
Zhou's mother just covered her lips and smiled, not revealing the truth.
Mu Jing went upstairs later, I still pulled Zhou's mother and told her, how did I win money, I talked for a long time, and found that Mu Jingchi was gone, I looked around, and asked Zhou's mother: "What about him?" β
Zhou's mother pointed upstairs and said, "It's upstairs." β
I pedaled upstairs, but when I reached the door, I found that the door of Mu Jingchi's room was closed, and I just wanted to push the door in, but the door was locked, I was stunned for a few seconds, and just called: "Brother-in-law." β
Wang Shuyi opened the door and walked out, her face was a little crimson, and her clothes were a little messy.
I looked at her for a few seconds, and she was a little flustered and said, "Miss." β
I said, "What are you doing in there?" β
I pushed the door open and was about to enter, but I stopped and sneered at her.
I went straight back to my room.
Zhou's mother went upstairs and saw that I was still happy, but after a while, she sat there expressionlessly, and she came over and asked, "What happened?" β
I asked Zhou's mother expressionlessly, "Is it true?" β
Zhou's mother didn't understand the meaning and asked, "What are you asking?" β
I said, "Wang Shuyi and Mu Jingchi." β
When asked about this question, Zhou's mother stammered a little, she said, "Why do you keep struggling with this question." β
I said, "How long." β
Zhou's mother said: "Mr. is always a man. β
I instantly understood something, I pushed Zhou's mother away, and then walked out of the room, Zhou's mother followed me and asked, "Miss, where are you going?" β
I ignored her, walked directly to the door and pushed the door of Mu Jingchi's room open, Wang Shuyi was dressing and changing clothes for him, he saw me coming in rudely like this, and asked with a little displeasure: "Why didn't you knock on the door?" β
I grabbed Wang Shuyi beside him and gave her a backhand slap, which directly knocked her to the ground.
Wang Shuyi covered her face.
Mu Jingchi turned to look at me, his face cold, and the previous smile disappeared without a trace.
Zhou's mother wanted to help Wang Shuyi.
I pointed to Wang Shuyi underground and said, "So between youβ"
Mu Jingchi said two words: "Go out." β
I sneered and said, "Get out? β
Zhou's mother pulled me, and when Wang Shuyi just stood firm, I gave her another slap with my backhand! This slap hit Wang Shuyi in the face, she threw it down again, and even her clothes were scattered, and the cinnabar red on her chest loomed there, I glanced at Mu Jingchi, and then at Wang Shuyi.
I took a few steps back in an instant, and I was a little incredulous and said, "You, you, you'reβ"
Before I could say anything, Mu Jingchi suddenly slapped me, and he said two words: "Presumptuous!" β
Wang Shuyi immediately stood up with her clothes covered, and hurriedly tied her clothes.
I stood there with my face covered, looked at Wang Shuyi for a while, then at Mu Jingchi, and I said two words: "Disgusting." β
Disgusting, yes.
I rushed back to my room, Zhou's mother chased her out, she wanted to say something, I threw the door shut, and locked her out.
My whole body was trembling, I couldn't shake it, I didn't expect Wang Shuyi to be ...... Dress up as me......
I smashed the things in the house like crazy, and Zhou's mother was so anxious outside, she shouted outside the door, "Miss, what do you have to say!" β
But I didn't answer her, I just vented, and smashed the necklace, gems, and various gadgets that Mu Jingchi had given me on the ground one by one.
Not long after, I heard Mu Jingchi say to Zhou's mother outside the door: "Let her smash it, even if she smashes it, I connived at her too much!" β
Hearing his voice, I picked up an antique vase and slammed it against the door, I said, "Mu Jingchi, you are disgusting!" You're a well-dressed beast! β
Then I moved another vase and smashed it over.
After a loud bang, suddenly the whole world fell silent, and I heard Mu Jingchi standing at the door sneering, and soon, his footsteps disappeared at the door.
I sat down on the ground.
The next day, Zhou's mother came to my room, she came in with breakfast, and when she saw me curled up at the head of the bed in her pajamas, she immediately rushed over and asked, "Miss, have you not slept all night?" β
I looked at Zhou's mother and didn't speak.
Mother Zhou stroked my face and said, "You are really, why do you torture yourself like this, why can't you understand this kind of thing?" She stroked my hair and said, "After your sister died, Mr. never married again, and because he has been concerned about your feelings in the past few years, Mr. has never thought of remarrying, but he is a man after all, and it is impossible for him to have no women by his side." β
I just wanted to say something, but when the words came to my mouth, I swallowed it again, Mother Zhou didn't know the reason for this, but I didn't want to tell her such a disgusting thing, so I was just silent.
Mother Zhou sighed and said, "You shouldn't be so willful. β
I said, "Mother Zhou, do you think I'm wrong?" β
Although Zhou's mother didn't speak, she obviously agreed with my words.
I thought it was a little funny, and I said, "I don't mind if he finds any woman, but it can't be her, she's disgusting, and she'll do some tricks to seduce him." β
Zhou's mother said: "You can't say such things, what are the three indiscriminate? You are young, but you need to be careful. β
I said, "She's disgusting." And that Mu Jingchi! β
I've just finished speaking.
The door was pushed open, and Mu Jingchi stood at the door and asked, "Who do you say is disgusting?" β
I turned my head to look over, and as soon as I saw that it was him, I hid in the bathroom, and he yelled at him, "Stop! β
