Shen Qing was stunned, she had a bad premonition in her heart, she didn't think about it, she stepped forward and stopped Mu Xiu, who was about to enter the yamen.

"Brother Mu, take a step to speak." When she said this, her whole face was cold, and her face was full of seriousness.

Seeing this, Mu Xiu's face also became solemn.

"Shen Qing, it's not early, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's go, I'll take you to something delicious. As he spoke, he reached out to pull her, but was dodged by Shen Qing.

Shen Qing looked at him and asked, "Do you think I can eat now?" ”

"So, let's go have a cup of tea, right?"

Seeing Mu Xiu's posture so low, the two officials in front of the official office couldn't help but look at Shen Qing curiously.

Mu Xiu didn't like such a gaze, and without waiting for Shen Qing to respond, he took her hand and led her into a teahouse not far from the yamen.

The two entered a private room.

After the shopkeeper brought the tea in, as soon as the door closed, Shen Qing said coldly:

"Brother Mu, didn't we say that we would only make money by treating people, and not dealing with the government yamen?"

As soon as she heard the tone of her voice, she knew that she was angry.

Mu Xiu poured a glass of water, brought it to her and said, "You drink saliva smoothly, listen to me, I did get a job in the yamen, but it was also to catch the ducks on the shelves, and I was forced to be helpless." ”

Shen Qing looked at him for a moment before he said:

"He Yihang, when did you learn to open your eyes and tell nonsense? What do you say to drive ducks to the shelves, What are you forced to be an official, who are you coaxing for, as long as you don't want to, it's a big deal to pack your luggage and walk away like before, the cow doesn't drink water, and you can still press the cow's head low? ”

Sometimes, she found a ruthlessness, even anger, from this man, which was something that did not exist in He Yihang's body before, at first, she thought it was just an illusion given to her by his strong body.

Until one time, she witnessed him push a beggar begging him to the ground with a wave of his hand; Another time, a local dog barked at her a few times, and he launched a fierce attack behind him, kicking the little thing in the stomach with a kick.

Only then did she realize that it was not her own delusion.

He Yihang in his memory has always been very gentle, and he has always been polite to people and things, even if he is angry, he will never act so casually.

He had said that he had been enslaved outside the customs for a long time and had been subjected to inhuman torture, and Shen Qing guessed that it was perhaps that experience that caused his temperament to change suddenly.

In addition, after coming to Cangcheng, she saw that he had always chosen to treat the rich, ignoring the poor, and had a greedy face for money, she was really afraid that he would become another appearance beyond her own cognition.

Listening to her words, Mu Xiu was silent!

It's not that he is greedy for power, but after passing through Tongxian, he knows that in this dynasty, money is useless, and only with supreme power can he not be passive, and he will not live a life of fleeing and hiding in Tibet like a rat crossing the street.

If you want to give her a stable life, you have to climb up step by step.

Where did Shen Qing know his thoughts, she saw that Mu Xiu didn't speak, her tone softened, and she began to persuade:

"Brother Mu, you and I are both people who have died once, and the power is just a passing cloud, haven't you seen it clearly?"

"Also, we are not people from another world who belong to this dynasty, this world is so chaotic, as the so-called son of heaven and a courtier, shouldn't we stay away from the war and protect ourselves? Why do you need to go to this muddy water, you and I travel all over the world together, treat people all the way, enjoy the natural scenery all the way, and don't you feel at ease? ”

Hearing this, Mu Xiu's eyes lit up slightly, he looked directly into her eyes, and asked, "Would you like to be with me?" ”

Shen Qing knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I meant to be a companion, not a partner, you know, don't misinterpret what I mean, okay." ”

Hearing this, Mu Xiu's eyes darkened again.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Shen Qing, I naturally have my reasons for doing this, I can't explain it to you now, but in the future you will understand my intentions." ”

Shen Qing saw that she had spent so much time talking, and the person in front of her was still bent on going her own way, she couldn't help but be disheartened, she lowered her head, took a sip of water silently, and didn't speak again.

The two ate tea and left.

Mu Xiu wanted to send her back, but the yamen still had official business to deal with, so he explained to her a few times, told her to be careful on the road, and turned to leave......

He seemed to be in a hurry, and his pace was a bit hurried.

Shen Qing followed behind, she walked slowly, and after a while, the two of them opened a distance of nearly ten meters.

Walking to the door of the teahouse, she suddenly felt a burst of angina, and she squatted down in pain.

The man in the teahouse soon noticed her strangeness, hurriedly came to her, and asked with concern, "Girl, are you okay?" ”

When Mu Xiu in front heard this, he turned around and saw her squatting on the ground with a painful face, and suddenly felt bad, so he hurriedly turned around and helped her up.

Seeing that her face was pale and cold sweat was dripping down, and he knew that her angina had flareed up again, he quickly took out a pill from the placket of his clothes, and asked the shopkeeper for a glass of water for her to take.

When people were relieved, Mu Xiu could no longer take care of the official affairs of the Yamen, so he hurriedly transferred a carriage from the Yamen and personally escorted her home.

Shen Qing was in such a bad state that she fell asleep on the bed when she returned to the house, Mu Xiu didn't dare to leave her alone, and kept guarding outside.

In the middle of the night, when she woke up, Mu Xiu hurried in when he heard the movement, brought her water, and boiled Chinese medicine.

Shen Qing obediently obeyed, thanked him and lay down again, and after a while, he fell asleep again, and slept until noon the next day.

When she woke up, she was in good spirits.

She got up and walked out of the door, Mu Xiu heard her footsteps, turned to look at her and said, "You woke up, I cooked claypot porridge, do you want to eat some?" ”

Shen Qing replied as he walked: "I'll eat it later, I slept without washing last night, and now it's sticky, I want to take a shower and ...... first."

"Then I'll get you a bath ......"

Shen Qing saw that his eyes were bloodshot, and she knew that the other party was taking care of her and didn't close her eyes all night, she was moved and guilty, and said, "No need Brother Mu, I feel much better, I can come by myself." Come inside and get some sleep. ”

Mu Xiu examined her for a moment, and saw that her face was indeed much better, so he relieved himself and said, "Then, I'll squint, and you can call me if you have anything." ”

"Done." She nodded.

Mu Xiu walked to the east house, didn't take two steps, and turned back to add: "The claypot porridge is still in the stove room, you remember to eat it while it's hot." ”

Shen Qing nodded again.

Watching Mu Xiu drag his tired footsteps into the house, Shen Qing fell into deep thought again.
