My wife is not a demon

Chen Mu sat on the stool, felt the deserted atmosphere and apologized: "Speaking of which, I should apologize to you. After all, I am an official, and I failed to protect you common people."

"Can you, a small headhunter, represent the imperial court?"

There was a sneer on Miss Xia's lips.

Seeing the genuine guilt in the man's eyes, she swallowed back the taunting words that she was about to blurt out.

"It's none of your business. I've heard it all on the way. All this is caused by the Queen Mother."

Miss Xia said lightly.

Chen Mu shook his head: "The queen mother is just taking the blame. It could have been redeemed, and I don't know why it happened like this. Twenty or thirty thousand people died. It's hard to tell who should be blamed for this."

"It's a pity that there are only a few people who think so."

Miss Xia picked up the wine bowl and drank it down in one gulp, laughing at herself. "At the beginning, many people in the court impeached Du Piwu and wanted to clean up the Dongzhou officials, but the Queen Mother insisted on going her own way and continued to reuse Du Piwu, which led to today's disaster."

Chen Mu was surprised: "You know a lot about the affairs of the court."

"Officials and businessmen are integrated. If you want to do a good job in business, you have to put a few pairs of ears in the officialdom."

Miss Xia laughed.

Chen Mu nodded: "That's true. By the way, why are you alone?"

"Who said I was the only one? The other guys went to other stores. Don't you think that I'm just a restaurant."

Miss Xia said lightly.

She raised the wine jar and continued to pour a glass, and then she drank it up in a depressed mood: "Do you think there is any need to stay in Dongzhou?"

The crystal clear and mellow wine flowed down the corners of the woman's mouth, was caught by the tall breasts, and slid down a graceful arc.

Chen Mu said with emotion: "This wine is really fragrant, I really want to try it."

Looking at the depressed woman in front of him, Chen Mu understood her mood.

The family's property suffered a great loss in the Dongzhou Rebellion, which is undoubtedly a heartache for profit-seeking businessmen.

So when the woman asked 'is it necessary to stay in Dongzhou', Chen Mu thought that the other party was asking whether the family property should be kept or not, so he said: "It depends on where your interest base is, if you have it in the capital, you might as well go to the capital to develop it. "

"It's okay, but I don't know if you, Mr. Chen, can be my backer in the capital?"

Miss Xia joked.

Chen Mu's eyes moved slightly, and he asked directly, "Are you planning to recruit me?"

"Ok?"

The woman turned her head and looked at him inexplicably.

Chen Mudao: "To be honest, I'm quite surprised that you have so many industries in Dongzhou, but I don't know that there is a surname Xia in Dongzhou. So, you must have concealed your real identity, and even—"

"Even you suspect that I approached you deliberately."

Miss Xia stared at Chen Mu with a half-smile, "For example, I suddenly appeared in Dongzhou and met you again, everything seems so coincidental."

Chen Mu nodded without denying it.

Miss Xia in front of her was definitely suspected of approaching him deliberately.

Although there are no signs of danger yet, since the other party took the initiative to send it to the door, it must be purposeful.

For example, Tiandi will recruit him like that.

Miss Xia giggled, the flowers and branches trembled wildly, and the two snow-capped mountains under her neck also rose and fell together: "You don't think I'm a traitor, do you?"

Chen Mu replied very seriously: "Dongzhou is not a capital city, and there are many forces entrenched here."

The implication is: you are suspected of being a traitor.

Miss Xia liked to tease each other like this, she stretched out a bright white wrist like a crane's neck and said with a smile: "Master Chen, since you suspect that I am a traitor, then quickly arrest me and interrogate me."

"I don't dare to arrest people without evidence."

Chen Mu stretched out his hand to hold the beautiful hand of the woman, and also said in a joking tone. "Besides, I'm still waiting for the girl to use her beauty trick."

Although it was not the first time that this man shook hands, Miss Xia's heartbeat still inexplicably accelerated, and her previous anger was decreasing.

She withdrew her hand, coughed lightly, and said flatly: "Seeing me this time, you seem to have become a little more frivolous."

Before in the capital, Chen Mu was very serious in front of her.

Sensing the woman's deliberate alienation, Chen Mu didn't make any excuses, shook his head and sighed: "I'm so tired and panicked, I don't know what useful things I did in Dongzhou City this time, but I just think some people died. It's too wrong."

Miss Xia understood the sadness and exhaustion in the man's emotions.

She hesitated for a moment, and took the initiative to hold the man's hand, comforting her softly: "Actually, it's not your fault, some things are destined to happen."

At this moment, the two got closer invisibly.

If they were just friends before, then now there is a faint tendency to develop into a confidante.

"You don't understand this feeling."

Chen Mu rubbed his eyebrows and smiled wryly. "Obviously it can bring hope, but the result is still despair. I actually don't care about the life and death of people who have nothing to do with me. I'm just very sorry, and I can't express that feeling."

The woman looked at the man with a warm and soft look in her eyes.

It is good for a person to be responsible and compassionate.

Of course, the premise is reasonable.

To put it bluntly, the deaths of those people in Dongzhou had nothing to do with Chen Mu, but he still felt guilty, and this alone made the Queen Mother feel even more emotional, realizing that men still have such a side.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, drink."

Chen Mu went to fetch two more jugs of wine, and said to Miss Xia. "Maybe I will return to the capital in two days, and then I have to say goodbye to you. It's rare to meet today, whether it's a coincidence or not, let's get drunk."

"I don't dare to just get drunk. I don't drink too much. If I'm really drunk... then I'll be in trouble."

Miss Xia licked her cherry-colored pink lips, and there was something in her words.

In some ancient love books she has read, many men like to deliberately get women drunk, and then have a dewy relationship.
