After being married by the emperor

Chu Yan explained to a few people, and said: "Because the big family they accidentally killed was a well-known local bully with an extremely bad reputation, so Lao He felt that such a person deserved his death, and these people were being killed by Lao He." After He was tortured, he vowed never to do that kind of stealing money again, and all of them changed their minds and became good people, and they often do good deeds."

"Good guy?" Li Yangxi thought about the looks of those people, and couldn't help but said: "It's not that I discriminate against their looks, it's just that they look fierce, and the first impression is that if they go to If you help others do good deeds, wouldn't the people being helped be scared away?"

Mu Qingcheng and Bai Shuimo nodded. They also felt the same way. If they encountered difficulties and these people came up to help, they might just run away.

Hearing this, Chu Yan couldn't help laughing, and said: "It's indeed as the Ninth Prince said, so it is very difficult for them to do good things, but fortunately they have been here for a long time, and the surrounding Everyone knows them, so it's okay."

Mu Qingcheng thought of the lady proprietress who was full of charm and charm, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Then what is the background of the lady proprietress of this inn? From what you said just now, she seems to be a thief?"

Hearing Mu Qingcheng mention the proprietress, Bai Shuimo's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he couldn't help remembering the scene of the proprietress winking at Chu Quan just now.

His mood suddenly became complicated and subtle. He didn't know what ulterior motives existed between the proprietress and Chu Yan, and why he only winked at Chu Yan.

Chu Yanzheng, Mu Qingcheng, and Li Yangxi were talking about the past of the proprietress of the inn, and suddenly felt a chilly gaze, but when he turned his head away, all he saw was Bai Shui Mo cracking melon seeds.

strangeness.

However, he didn't think too much about it, but continued to talk about the proprietress, "The proprietress used to be a female thief, stealing things everywhere, because of her excellent lightness skills, she was never caught, and few people saw her." The real face, and because she basically stole some evil rich people, and sometimes helped a few poor people, so many people applauded, thinking that those people who were stolen deserved it."

"Oh... I understand!" Mu Qingcheng said, "Is this the legendary robbery from the rich to the poor?"

Chu Yan nodded and said: "Until she sneaked into the house of a court official once, stole treasure, and accidentally exposed her face, because the treasure was very important to that official, so she spent a lot of money to arrest her. , She just came to this desert and finally opened an inn, but she has been a female thief for so many years, and sometimes she still has the habit of itching and wanting to steal when she sees a treasure."

"Then why didn't you arrest her and put her in prison? Instead, let her continue to open the inn here. Could it be that there are some other hidden secrets in it?" Bai Shuimo asked, his slender eyelashes covered the meaningless eyes eyes.

Chu Zhuan said: "There is nothing hidden about hidden feelings, because the nature of the proprietress is not bad, and the person she stole these few times is not a good guy, why bother so much? Lao He and I are not good people."

Bai Shuimo squinted his eyes, and his expression seemed to be that he didn't quite believe Chu Tran's words.

Looking at Bai Shuimo, He Nanchao raised the corners of his lips and said, "I think Shui Mo's expression is a bit interesting. Could it be that he suspects that there is an affair between the proprietress and Lao Chu?"

"Ahem..." Bai Shuimo was choked up and coughed several times.

Chu Yan's face changed, and he said quickly: "Old He, don't talk nonsense, okay? Since when did I have an affair with the proprietress, we are clearly innocent!"

"Secret relationship?" Mu Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, thinking that this seemed unlikely, he looked at Chu Yan and said, "No way? Their ages are a bit different, although the proprietress doesn't look very old , but he should be older than Brother Chu, right?"

He Nanchao said with a smile: "Age is not a problem these days. Although the proprietress is indeed older than Lao Chu, she is well-bred, has a good figure, and is very charming."

"Damn!" Chu Yan's face darkened, and he said, "Old He! Are you still my brother? What are you talking about, how do you know that someone has charm? I think you are the one who has an affair. ? Think carefully about the way the proprietress looks at you, it is indeed quite ambiguous, maybe the proprietress has already taken a fancy to you in her heart!"

Hmph, He Nanchao, who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, since he doesn't stand on his side, but instead talks about him, then don't blame him, isn't it just hurting each other, come on, who is afraid of whom~

"What?" Mu Qingcheng's eyes widened when he heard this, and he turned to look at He Nanchao with a serious expression.

But to everyone's surprise, he didn't press He Nanchao directly, but turned his head and asked Tang Xingshi who had been silently peeling melon seeds for Liu Yi.

"Xingshi, tell me honestly, is what Brother Chu said is true?"

Tang Xingshi was stunned for a moment, and the melon seeds in his hand fell on the table. He didn't expect that Mu Qingcheng would not ask He Nanchao, but himself.

What's the matter with him?He still wants to continue peeling melon seeds for Liu Yi.

Liu Yi blinked his eyes, and was too stupefied, "Second Young Master, you should ask the general about this kind of thing, how did Brother Tang know?"

Li Yangxi knew why Mu Qingcheng asked Tang Xingshi, he smiled and said: "Qingcheng is smart, knowing that even if you ask the general, he may not tell the truth, why not ask the most honest Xingshi directly."

Mu Qingcheng said: "The one who knows me is Yang Xi!"

Bai Shuimo, like Mu Qingcheng, only stared at Tang Xingshi, "So... Is General He having an affair with the proprietress? Or is Chu Yan having an affair with the proprietress?"

Tang Xingshi: "..."

Why do you come to ask him?It feels so stressful.

He Nanchao and Chu Yan said in unison: "I have no affair with her!"

"What you two said is unbelievable, but Xingshi's is more credible." Mu Qingcheng continued to stare at Tang Xingshi after talking to the two of them, "Xingshi, just tell the truth, but if you dare To tell a lie, then Little Liuyi will..."

Liuyi: "???" What does it have to do with him?

As soon as Liu Yi's name was mentioned, Tang Xingshi suddenly regained his energy. He said without thinking, "The proprietress here has no affair with the general and Brother Chu. The proprietress is ambiguous to everyone. Don't worry, madam."

Mu Qingcheng asked half-believingly: "Is this true?"

Tang Xingshi said with a serious expression: "Seriously, there is absolutely no falsehood."

Li Yangxi said: "It should be true, right? Xingshi's expression is so serious, and he has basically never lied. If you don't believe his words, then there is nothing you can believe."

It's not that He Nanchao and Chu Zhuan are people who lie a lot, it's just that when it comes to this kind of matter, the subconscious reaction of normal people will usually choose to conceal it.

That's why you can't ask the person concerned about this kind of thing, you have to ask others to have credibility.

After Mu Qingcheng thought for a while, she felt that what Li Yangxi said made sense, and it was he who asked Tang Xingshi himself.

"Okay, since Xing Shi has said so, then I will reluctantly believe that Nan Chao, you and the proprietress are innocent."

He Nanchao said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean by reluctance? Cheng'er, you should trust me completely."

Mu Qingcheng snorted softly, and said, "It's just a matter of reluctance, who made you so promiscuous."

Hearing this, He Nanchao raised his eyebrows, feeling that he had been wronged, "Cheng'er, I'm going to make an excuse, why did I mess around? I can only be so clean, I don't even have a confidante. "

Mu Qingcheng answered in a low voice: "But you have a blue-faced confidant."

yo?

The eyes of the others lit up when they heard this, and they felt that a good show was about to start.

He Nanchao immediately showed a helpless expression when he heard this, and said, "Cheng'er, we agreed not to mention this matter again, and I have settled the matter satisfactorily."

The most important thing is that the relationship between him and Xue Fei can only be so innocent, even more innocent than Qing Shui.

Mu Qingcheng curled her lips and said, "I know, I know, I'll just mention it casually, and I won't mention it again in the future. Why hasn't the food come yet? I'm already hungry."

Li Yangxi said: "Have you not eaten breakfast yet? Why are you still so hungry?"

Mu Qingcheng said: "Please, when did you eat that, what time is it now, the food has already been digested, okay?"

He Nanchao reached out to touch Mu Qingcheng's stomach, but he stretched out his hand and patted it away, then smiled and said, "Since Cheng'er is hungry, I'll go and urge him."

Mu Qingcheng waved his hands quickly and said, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

He Nanchao stood up and was about to go out to rush the kitchen, when there were two knocks on the door outside, then the door of the private room was opened, Xiao Er came in with food.

A few dishes that are relatively easy to cook are served first, while beef and mutton and other difficult dishes are still to come.

Mu Qingcheng sniffed, feeling the strong fragrance, I couldn't help picking up the chopsticks to taste it.

After a while, he said, "It smells delicious, but this tastes even more delicious."

Hearing what Mu Qingcheng said, Li Yangxi's mouth watered a bit. Before he had this big meal, he just ate two casual mouthfuls to pad his stomach.

But with his appetite, even if he came back after he was full, he could still have another meal.

Tang Xingshi picked up a few dishes for Liu Yi that were far away from him. He felt that Liu Yi was short-handed and might not be able to reach him.

Fortunately, Liuyi didn't know what Tang Xingshi was thinking, otherwise he would definitely jump up.

Everyone chatted and ate delicious food, it was a pleasure, but only one person was quieter, and that was Bai Shuimo.

Like Liu Yi, if he doesn't speak, he usually eats there with his head down, but today the one who is quiet there is Bai Shui Mo, and he doesn't eat all the time.

Bai Shuimo was absent-minded, as if he was thinking about something important. The small bowl in front of him was full of food, which was all picked up by Chu Yan for him.

Seeing him pawing around with chopsticks several times, Chu Chuan frowned slightly and asked, "Mo'er, what's the matter? Is it because he has no appetite or is he not hungry? Could it be that he is not feeling well?" Bar?"

Bai Shuimo looked at Chu Zhuan with a worried face, hesitated for a while, and said, "I was at the entrance of the inn before, when the proprietress just came out, I saw it."

Chu Yan looked puzzled, "What did you see?"

Bai Shuimo said: "I saw the proprietress cast a look at you, that's called a wink like silk!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

Mu Qingcheng was so shocked that the egg drop soup that Mu Qingcheng just took a sip flowed out from the corner of her mouth.
