Chapter 19
Chapter 19
Zhong Lijin is here.
In this house, there are only two or 300 meters away from her.
Murong couldn't taste what it was like in his heart for a moment.What did Zhong Lijin come to Luo Mansion for?Come to visit Luo Yi?
She herself felt ridiculous when this idea came up, not to mention that Zhong Lijin, a high-ranking general, would condescend to visit the county magistrate of a small town in a local town. Just Luo Yi's nervous expression when he passed her room can be seen It turns out that the two rarely meet in private.It doesn't make sense in public or private.
Murong reluctantly thought of the most likely outcome, if Zhong Lijin's sudden visit was not for Luo Yi, then it could only be someone else...
"Mother." Mu Shao woke up on her own after sleeping for a whole noon. As soon as she opened her eyes, she began to look for Murong's figure.
Murong recovered from his contemplation and moved, only to find that his body was a little stiff.She hugged Mu Shao to her lap, stroked Mu Shao's head one after another, but did not speak.
Mu Shao looked at Murong with big watery eyes: "Mom, are you unhappy?"
Murong touched his head for a moment, then fell silent for a while, lowered his head to meet Mu Shao's eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Shao'er, mother asks you, if a rich man comes to pick you up, she can take you to a richer place." A more comfortable life, will you go with her?"
After she finished speaking, she felt that Mu Shao might not understand some of the words, and added: "If you go with her, you can have endless shortbread and sesame candies, and endless beautiful clothes. Will you go with her?"
Mu Shao grabbed Murong's front, and tears welled up in his eyes in the blink of an eye, with an extremely aggrieved expression: "Mom, don't you want me?"
Murong couldn't see her being sad, so he touched her face distressedly: "Mother won't want you, but if you could choose, which side would you go with?"
Mu Shao got the assurance and smiled again: "I will go wherever my mother goes."
With a sore nose, Murong hugged Mu Shao into his arms and hugged him tightly.
There was a knock on the door of the room, and the servants of Luo's family who rushed over panted outside Murong's room to explain their purpose: "Miss Hao Meili, the general asked you to go to the Qinxiang courtyard, the general said that she has something to say to you explain."
What should come will come sooner or later.Murong opened the door, and at the moment when the sun came in, the worry and uneasiness she had when she was talking to Mu Shao was gone, and there was only an indestructible laughing expression on her face: "Okay, let's go."
The servant who delivered the message stepped back to the side and stood quietly outside the door waiting for Murong to go back into the room.Mu Shao was still sitting on the bed, and when she came back, she opened her hands happily.Murong went over to get her dressed.
Mu Shao cooperated with Murong's movement and stretched out his hands and legs, full of curiosity: "Mother, what are we going to do?"
Murong fastened the last button for her, with a calm voice and firm eyes: "Let's fight a war without gun|smoke."
--------
"Hao Meili has met the general." Murong entered the yard, let go of Mu Shao's hand, stood and saluted the woman wearing a veiled hat sitting at the stone table.
Before the woman in the veiled hat could speak, the guard standing aside couldn't see her and shouted angrily: "Bold and unreasonable, kneel down when you see the general!"
Murong glanced at her indifferently, didn't move and said nothing, the guard was even angrier, drew his long sword out of its sheath, and drew it to point at Murong.
The woman in the veiled hat raised her right hand to block it. Although the guards were unwilling, they had no choice but to retreat with their swords.
The woman in the veiled hat stood up elegantly, walked to Murong calmly, stared at Murong for a while, and said lightly, "You just said your name is Hao Meili?"
"Yes, General." Murong said neither humble nor overbearing.
The veiled woman glanced at Murong Zherong's veil, but she didn't say a word to order her to take it off: "I think you look familiar, I don't know if you went to the bank of Minyan River to watch lotus four years ago?"
Murong's eyelids twitched suddenly. The Minyan River was the place where Yang Hanyun and Zhonglijin met for the first time. That time Yang Hanyun was admiring the flowers by the river, but there were quite a lot of people looking at the lotus at that time. In the confusion, Yang Hanyun Yun was knocked into the river by someone, Yang Hanyun couldn't swim, struggled in the river and called for help, but was rescued by Zhong Lijin who happened to pass by.
These words are undoubtedly probing.
The expression on Murong's face remained unchanged, he opened his eyes and said nonsense: "No. Hao Meili looks mediocre and tends to the general public. The general's feeling that Hao Meili looks familiar must be an illusion."
The ball thrown by the woman in the veiled hat was thrown back by Murong without leaking any water. She was silent for a while, lowered her head, and saw Mu Shao who was holding Murong's trousers and looking at her vigilantly, her tone softened unconsciously: "She is you Daughter? She really looks like you."
Murong didn't answer.
The woman in the veiled hat didn't care, she knelt down and looked at Mu Shao, and asked Murong, "Can I hug her?" While speaking, she had already extended her hand to Mu Shao.
Mu Shao opened her mouth and bit the finger that was pressing towards her with all her strength, almost biting off the woman's finger.
The veiled woman withdrew her hand in embarrassment, the broken skin on her knuckles was turned outwards, a bloody mess.
Murong picked Mu Shao up, patted Mu Shao's head appreciatively, and when he raised his eyes to look at the woman, he showed the lukewarm look again: "General, don't care about cuteness, she is still young and ignorant, she can tell good people Bad guys rely on intuition, and they often bite women who play with other people's feelings and are irresponsible. Oh, of course, the general is wise and upright, how can he be an irresponsible person."
Murong pointed out that Sang scolded Huai for fun, and it happened that Mu Shao was spitting on the ground because he had his fingers in his mouth.
The black veil blocked the woman's face, Murong couldn't see her expression clearly, but he could see the woman's hand hanging by her side clenched tightly, he must be very angry.
Murong was in a good mood, hugged Mu Shao and bowed slightly, with a superficial look: "If the general is fine, then Meili will leave."
Without waiting for the woman in the veiled hat to speak, Murong directly hugged Mu Shao and left, and the person behind him did not stop her.
After Murong left, Mu Xiong came out from behind the rockery, his face was so cold that icicles could fall off: "You called me here before Hao Meili came, just to let me listen to this?"
The woman in the veiled hat asked instead: "Do you like her?"
Mu Xiong's face changed, his expression was a little flustered and at a loss, but his mouth was still trying to force himself: "It's a joke, why did you say that?"
The woman in the veiled hat said calmly, "If you really don't like it and don't care, would you still hide and eavesdrop on it even though you know it's against morality? The back door of this yard is near your hiding place. With your martial arts, who can stop you if you want to leave?"
Mu Xiong was not good at lying, so he fell silent.
The veiled woman had expected her reaction in this way, sighed deeply, and felt that fate had tricked her: "You are free to like whoever you like, but for us, 'freedom' is something that is deprived from birth. Do you know , you are a Duanxiu like this? Do you know how much criticism Duanxiu will receive from the world?"
Mu Xiong's face was ugly, he didn't know whether it was because he was a broken sleeve or because of the imperceptible contempt in her words when she said broken sleeve.
The woman in the veil lifted the thick veil, exposing her entire face to the sunlight.
After seeing her face clearly, Mu Xiong took a step back in disbelief, his eyes full of shock.
----------
Murong came out of the yard, feeling good because he had achieved a phased victory.She didn't go back to her room, but went directly to Mu Xiong's room next door, wanting to share her pride with Mu Xiong.
But there was no answer when he knocked on the door for a long time, so he must have gone out, Murong thought so.Anyway, there is nothing to do now, why not go to the chaifang to see if there are any delicious pastries for Mu Shao, so Murong turned his legs and carried Mu Shao to the chaifang.
On the other side, Mu Xiong stepped out of the small courtyard in a daze after having a long talk with the woman in the veiled hat.
She kept replaying what the veiled woman had said to her just now in her mind, her mind was dizzy, she walked with her head down and didn't look in the direction.
"Mu Xiong, you are a broken sleeve."
Mu Xiong was startled and suddenly turned around to look around.The corridor is empty, only the cool summer breeze gently blows past the ears, where is there anyone?Where is someone talking?
"You're angry." Murong came out from the corner, holding a plate in his hand, while Mu Shao walked beside her while grabbing her trousers.
Murong put the plate in front of Mu Xiong, looked up and saw Mu Xiong's expression was startled, patted her on the shoulder and asked, "Are you constipated? You look so bad."
Mu Xiong took a step back as if his shoulder was burned
