Yuchun bowed to Muqing and Master Qi, smiled lightly and turned to leave.Mu Qing knew that she was Zhi Lan's biological mother, and had a very affectionate feeling for her. She wanted to say hello to her, but seeing her leave had no choice but to give up.

Bichun came just in time, she came over with a small dish of chopped Gorgon fruit cake.

"I left anyway, it seems that I was a little late." Bi Chun laughed.Mu Qing has to admit that her smile is very attractive, no wonder she can become the prospective hostess in the backyard of the Qi family.

"It's okay, it's not like they haven't eaten before." Master Qi took the conversation.

"Come on, try it." Bi Chun put the plate in front of Mu Qing.

"It's really delicious, Zhou Muqing, eat it quickly." Qi Mei looked at him with cute and expectant eyes, and handed her a pair of chopsticks.

After all, Mu Qing is a normal man, he couldn't stand Qi Mei's eyes, he avoided her eyes, took the chopsticks she handed over, picked a few pieces and put them in his mouth.

It is indeed delicious!Gorgon fruit cake is meant to be eaten while it is hot. It is glutinous and sweet, and a little nut kernel is specially sprinkled in it. I don’t know what kind of flower juice is added.Even though Mu Qing didn't like sweets, she still ate several slices.

Seeing that he was eating deliciously, Qi Mei couldn't help but took a few slices and put them into her mouth.

Bichun looked at her daughter's movements, wondering if her eating had amused her, so she covered her mouth and smiled softly.

Master Qi patted Qi Mei a few times on purpose, and said: "Look at you, you don't look like a lady of every family. My nephew will laugh at you."

"Father, I've always been like this." Qi Mei said nonchalantly, chewing on the pastry, "Mu Qing understands me."

Mu Qing smiled politely.

"After eating, I'll take Mu Qing to the backyard for a walk." Qi Mei casually clapped her hands after eating the Gorgon fruit cake, pulled Mu Qing and walked out of the dining room.

"Don't go to Cailing Courtyard, and don't disturb Sanniang and the others." Bichun warned.

Master Qi inadvertently glanced at Bichun, and he liked her as delicately as a hair.

"I know, I won't go to San Niang Si Niang's side."

Zhou Muqing followed her, and Qi Mei took his arm habitually, leading him to walk slowly along the water pavilion.

"It's a pity that I can only take you halfway along the lotus pond. Over there is Zhilanyuan where Cailingyuan and Siniang live." Qi Mei pointed to Mu Qing from afar.

"Where is that two-story building?" Mu Qing looked around the lotus pond and asked when he saw a small building standing alone.

"You see, the library building is the tallest in my house. It has the best view over there and overlooks the entire Qi family. It's a pity that I can't take you there. The inner courtyard is the place where only the heads of the Qi family can live. Dad is there now. Live by the side."

"No wonder you told me last time that my garden is small. From this point of view, what you said is true." Mu Qing sighed.

"You have a small family, but I really like your garden." Qi Mei leaned on the railing of the water pavilion.

"I forgot to ask, why did you wink at me at the dinner table?"

"Do you know what's 'ill' my sister is?"

Mu Qing shook her head, looking at her mysterious face.For some reason, the image of Zhi Lan suddenly appeared in his mind: "What do you think big brother did?" When she asked this question, she also smiled mysteriously like Qi Mei.Seeing that Mu Qing was distracted, Qi Mei waved her hand in front of his eyes, and he came back to his senses.

"What are you thinking about so preoccupied?" Qi Mei pouted, "Did you hear what I just said to you?"

"En." Mu Qing responded casually.

"Let me tell you, my sister Qi Ying fell in love with her piano teacher, but my father didn't agree and put her in confinement, preventing her from contacting anyone."

Qi Mei's words were like a thunderbolt hitting him.Isn't Qi Ying just a copy of Zhi Lan!It's just that the shots were made quickly back then, and there was not enough time for them to blossom and bear fruit.

He felt dizzy for a while, and suddenly he couldn't stand still. Did he suffer from heat stroke standing here? Why did he feel so uncomfortable?
"You...what's the matter?" Qi Mei found out that something was wrong with Mu Qing, she wanted to support him, but she couldn't use any strength, before she could think clearly, Mu Qing beside her collapsed to the ground .

"Mu Qing." She wanted to call him, but her legs were weak and her voice was stuck in her throat, and she fell down unconscious.

"Quickly, move them into the next guest room." Someone commanded, and immediately several strong servants rushed up and carried them into the nearest guest room next to the waterside pavilion.

Bichun was anxiously waiting for news in the room.

"Second Madam, the matter you have instructed has been done." The servant came to report, and she felt relieved.

Master Qi was dismissed by her few words, and it was a godsend opportunity for him to take a nap in the study in the inner courtyard, and he would definitely be able to help his daughter realize this wish.

After nearly an hour.

"Not good, not good."

"What's going on?" Master Qi asked.

"I've searched all over the mansion, and went to all the courtyards, but I didn't see Master Zhou and Missy."

The news spread quickly, and Bichun also heard about it.She pinched her handkerchief anxiously and looked for Master Qi.

"Master, this is..." Bichun asked eagerly.She looked distraught, her eyes were red, as if she had cried.

"Don't worry, I've already sent people to look for each courtyard." Master Qi comforted her.

Before the words finished, Yaochun arrived.

"Master, you're not fair. We didn't keep him in Cailing Courtyard when he was lost. Why did you order your servants to rummage through our third room?" Yaochun was very upset.

"Nephew Zhou Xian is an honored guest. What if such a big incident happened, so what if your third wife sacrifices? You can see that Zhilanyuan has no objections." Master Qi suddenly had a long face and was unhappy.

"Master, I told Meimei not to take Nephew Zhou away. Although she has a more willful personality, she has never disobeyed me after all." Bichun calmed down and thought for a while, "Could she still be near the waterside pavilion?" ?”

"Yes, yes, why did you forget there?" Master Qi slapped his head.

"I'm sorry, third sister, I disturbed your third wife because of Meimei." Bichun verbally scolded Yaochun.Yaochun twitched her lips, and said in her heart: I just know how to do it hypocritically for the master to see!
Master Qi reluctantly persuaded: "You are all mothers, and you always get into trouble when you meet? We are a family after all, so we must be kind."

"Yes." Bichun took the lead and said.

Yaochun couldn't say anything more.

"Master, I found him in the guest room of the waterside pavilion, but..." the housekeeper came to report, but he hesitated to speak, "You and the second lady should go and see for yourself."

"What's wrong?" Bichun asked without knowing it.

Hearing the butler's tone, Master Qi's heart sank, and he immediately ordered the butler to lead the way.

Bichun and Yaochun followed behind.

The door opened.

Yaochun called out first: "What's going on? Master, what's going on?" Everyone knew her exaggerated tone.

Mu Qing and Qi Mei were lying on the bed.Mu Qing woke up first, and was dumbfounded. She got up and looked at Qi Mei who was still sleeping wrapped in a quilt, and said nothing for a long while.

After a while Qi Mei also woke up, she sat up sleepily, checked the clothes on her body in a daze, they were intact, looked around and saw a circle of people around her, she hugged the quilt in panic and shouted to Mu Qing: "Mu Qing What did you do to me why are we in bed?"

Master Qi walked over angrily, and said to Mu Qing: "Zhou Muqing, please explain to us, what is the reason for this?"

"I, I... don't know why I'm here." Mu Qing's mouth is full of hair and he can't tell, but he knows that he must be plotted.

"Master, everyone is watching, our Meimei's reputation cannot be ruined in vain, I beg the master to make decisions for our Meimei." Bi Chun begged tearfully at the right time, wiping her tears with a handkerchief from time to time.

"Don't worry, I'll make the decision for you." Master Qi's face was livid, he waved away all the servants, and told the old lady not to hear it, now only Master Qi, Yaochun, Bichun and the two parties involved.

Zhou Muqing tidied his clothes, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, but he calmed down, with a look of indifference on his face, Qi Mei then came down shyly, and obediently slipped to her mother's side.

"Nephew Zhou Xian, we respect you as our honored guest. I know that Meimei has a heart for you, and you...you shouldn't do such a thing. After she did something like this, it will be spread out in the future. How can she marry again? Sigh !” Master Qi said dejectedly.

Zhou Muqing didn't say anything.Originally agreeing to the Qi family's invitation, he was already mentally prepared, but this incident disrupted his rhythm. He immediately understood that someone in the Qi family deliberately set up this situation, and now he can only see the tricks.

"Nephew Zhou Xian, this is the end of the matter. You have to give me an answer today and take responsibility for this matter." At this banquet, Master Qi still couldn't see Mu Qing's feelings for his daughter. I am afraid that Mu Qing will deny her life and death, so she will pity her daughter's heart.

"How do you want me to be responsible, I didn't do anything to your daughter!"

"It's unreasonable!" Master Qi said angrily, "In ancient times, a woman's reputation was the most important thing, and my Qi family can see it all. Are you going to force my daughter to death? I just have a word from you. After you go back, you must hire three matchmakers and six hires, and give me Meimei." A title, otherwise my Qi family would not be bullied."

Facing the furious Master Qi and the wrathful Qi family wives, Mu Qing looked calm and thought for a long time before saying, "In that case, follow Uncle Qi's orders."

When Master Qi heard what Mu Qing said, his face immediately changed into a smile.As long as Zhou Muqing is willing to admit it, he can rest assured, anyone with a discerning eye can see that, he is shrewd and has guessed a bit about the person who set up the trap, so he glanced at Bichun.

"Okay, okay, I like talking to smart people." Master Qi smiled heartily.

"I've made it clear, it's useless for me to wait any longer, so I'm leaving." Mu Qing bowed and went out of the gate of Qi's house to go back by car.

When I got home, I saw the old man talking about the past.

Master Zhou said: "Whether they designed it for you or not, you have to give the niece of the Qi family an explanation."

"I know." Mu Qing replied in a low voice, "I've already thought about it."

"Then you don't have to worry about the rest, Dad will take care of it." The old man patted him on the shoulder, "She is a good girl, cherish her."

Sure enough, the old man acted vigorously and quickly set a date for them, which is the sixteenth of this month.

Mu Qing was always indifferent to Qi Mei, not very enthusiastic, although she was cheerful and lovable, she was also devoted to him, he asked himself countless times, theoretically he should like her.

Qi Mei is full of confidence in herself, as long as she works hard, she will definitely fall in love with herself one day.
