She is not hard-hearted, Mu Xiu takes care of herself meticulously, and she is very grateful.

She knew that these days, if there was no wood repair, it was estimated that the grass on her grave would be tall.

She also knew what Mu Xiu wanted.

Mu Xiu once said something to her very sincerely.

He said that you and I are both from another world, and the soul compatibility is the highest, whether the will of heaven is destined in the dark, this is the fate between the two of us.

She knew he was right, but subconsciously resisted the idea.

She knows very well that her feelings for Mu Xiu are sympathetic friendships, and they are friends in distress, but they are by no means deep feelings between men and women.

She has never been a compromising character, and if she reluctantly stays with him for the sake of gratitude, it is unfair to him and irresponsible to the two of them.

She even wondered if she was too selfish, since she couldn't give others what they wanted, she shouldn't give him hope, and she shouldn't even take the tenderness he gave for granted?

She was deeply immersed in her inner struggle, probably thinking too much at once, and suddenly there was a tingling sensation on her forehead.

Shen Qing shook his head, didn't dwell on it anymore, put these messes behind his head for the time being, and walked to the stove room to make a fire and boil water......

After bathing and changing into a refreshing dress, she turned back to her bedroom and sat down at the dresser to wipe her hair.

When my hair was half-dry, I heard a sharp knock on the door outside the courtyard gate.

Shen Qing was afraid that the knock on the door would wake Mu Xiu up, so he hurriedly coiled up his hair and got up to go out.

"Here we are...... Who is it? The knock stopped abruptly as she asked, and after a while, the knocking became more urgent.

Seeing this, Shen Qing couldn't help frowning.

In general, in this case, if you answer the call, everyone who comes will report to your home, unless there is a deaf person outside the door, or the person outside is not good.

She didn't dare to be careless, so she came to the gate of the courtyard and looked out through the crack in the door.

Where is the deaf person standing outside the door, it is Lu Huijuan, who failed to murder himself in the forest that day, and took the opportunity to escape early.

How dare this person appear? Is it dead?

Shen Qing made a straight face, opened the courtyard door, looked at the person standing outside the door, and asked, "Lu Huijuan, how do you know that we are in this place?" ”

Lu Huijuan looked at her and said unashamedly: "The famous Doctor Mu in Cangcheng, as long as he is willing to ask people, he can always ask about it. ”

After that, she stretched out her neck to look in and asked, "Is Brother Mu at home?" ”

Hearing this, Shen Qing frowned: "You are really not small, you dare to find Brother Mu?" "I'm afraid this person's head is not rusty, I won't forget that Mu Xiu almost strangled her to death last time.

Thinking about the last time, he almost died in her hands, Shen Qing said with a cold face:

"Brother Mu is not here, you should leave quickly, if you don't leave, I will report to the official."

In the midst of her threat, Lu Huijuan did not flinch, but swaggered past her and walked into the house.

Seeing this, Shen Qing was shocked, she thought of Mu Xiu at home, and she was afraid that the murderous scene that day would be repeated again, so she couldn't help but chase after Lu Huijuan and said in a voice: "Lu Huijuan, who let you in, hurry up, you are not welcome here......"

Lu Huijuan ignored her words, she walked in casually, and when she walked under the eaves, she also looked up at the birdcage hanging there.

Then she crossed the threshold and entered the house, sat on the round stool in front of the dining table, looked around, looked at Shen Qing with hanging eyes, and said, "Shen Qing, look at you like this, follow Brother Mu, life is very nourishing." ”

Only then did Shen Qing notice her dress, the woman in front of her was in rags, her withered yellow hair looked like it hadn't been washed for a long time, all tied behind her head, wrapped in a dirty fig leaf.

If you smell it carefully, you can still faintly smell the stench coming from her body.

Shen Qing frowned and said, "It's okay, at least it's better than you." ”

This person is probably desperate, and he came to the door again.

She was thinking about how to drive her away, but she heard Mu Xiu's footsteps from behind, and secretly screamed in her heart that something was not good, and she was going to die.

Sure enough, Mu Xiu heard the sound and came out, and when he saw Lu Huijuan sitting at home, his eyes immediately split, and without saying a word, he stepped forward to commit murder.

Lu Huijuan was startled at first when she saw the fierce god coming, and then she stepped back in a panic, and shouted anxiously: "Mu Xiu, don't come here, I have something to say." ”

Shen Qing was afraid that something would happen, so he stepped forward and stopped Mu Xiu for a while: "Brother Mu, listen to what she has to say." ”

Seeing her, Mu Xiu's anger subsided a little, and he looked at Lu Huijuan with a calm gaze.

Lu Huijuan looked at the two people in front of her and suddenly burst into laughter.

She laughed like a madman twice before she said, "I know you both hate me, but why don't you want to think about it, if I'm not completely sure, dare to be here?" ”

With that, she stood up and deliberately pushed forward her stomach.

Only then did Shen Qing notice that under her tattered clothes, there was a slightly bulging belly.

Lu Huijuan glanced down at her bulging belly, and announced to the two: "As you can see, I am pregnant, and the child is Mu Xiu's. ”

As soon as she changed her arrogant attitude in front of Shen Qing, she looked up at Mu Xiu pitifully, her eyes glowed red, and she said very desolately: "Brother Mu, I am pregnant with your flesh and blood, you don't still want to kill me, do you?" ”

Hearing this, a trace of panic flashed on Mu Xiu's face, and he looked back at Shen Qing and saw that her face was calm, and she looked like she had no waves in her heart.

Seeing this, he felt very uncomfortable, even if the woman showed a little concern on her face, at least it meant that she minded.

For everything that happened in front of her, somehow, Shen Qing actually felt a sense of relief in her heart, just now she was really afraid that Mu Xiu would kill Lu Huijuan on the spot.

Seeing that he had calmed down at this moment, he couldn't help but think that the existence of the child could change the anger on Mu Xiu's body.

She took a step back and said, "Brother Mu, this is a matter for the two of you, and it is inconvenient for me as an outsider to express my opinions, so you can solve it yourself......." With that, she turned back to her bedroom and closed the door, leaving room for the two of them.

As everyone knows, when she said that she was an outsider, the look on Mu Xiu's face became very ugly.

Shen Qing hid in the room to read, she didn't know what the two were talking about outside the door, in short, it was calm outside, and there was no quarrel.

When she came out after reading a book, she saw that Mu Xiu was the only one left in the room.

She asked Lu Huijuan where she went?

Mu Xiu told her that he had arranged her in a private house not far from the back alley.
