smile to heart

======================

The top of Jiugai Mountain.

The aroma in the hall was slowly rising, and a lazy figure lay reclining on the soft couch behind the luxurious curtain. He slowly turned up, and the hands under the black sleeves were carelessly playing with the mask on the table, listening to the bead curtain. Outside, the spies who returned under the steps reported the matter.

When he heard a certain point, the hand holding the mask suddenly paused, and then pulled a sinister smile: "Oh? Is this really true?"

"It's absolutely true. My subordinates saw with their own eyes that Miss Mu's family drove Mr. Mu out of Fufeng, and I heard with my own ears that it was because of that person who turned against him."

The man in black in the hall answered the truth.

The people on the couch were suddenly excited and sneered, "Wow, wah! In this world, the most hopeless thing is the sudden extinction of the hope you have been waiting for for so many years? Luo Qingchen has protected you for so many years, you I don't appreciate it, now your last confidence is gone...Mu Xi, I see what you need to survive..."

"What does the master mean, do we need to continue to lie in ambush at Mu's house?" His Highness's man in black suddenly asked.

Xi Yan lazily raised his hand, and said disdainfully: "Leave it. It was really difficult for them to support a straw as a pillar for so long before. Now, in the whole world, who else would support a tattered Mu? Home?"

"Yes." The man in black accepted the order coldly.

Xi Yan narrowed his eyes, and said again: "Recently, the Lu family seems to be quite obedient. That day he suddenly said that he wanted to go to Chaisang, so for the time being... let's withdraw."

When the hall was empty, Xi Yan came down from the throne alone, and fell into a bleak atmosphere. Thinking back to the cold treatment and neglect he had received over the years, he could only feel the anger in his heart, and his face under the mask became more serious: "It's all because of him! Damn it!" Muxi."

……

Outside the side hall, the spring is just right, butterflies are lingering around, and several flower trees are in full bloom like smoke.

Mu Xi pushed open the screen window, looked at the narrow sky outside, frowned and sighed, thinking that he hadn't heard from Mu Yun for half a year, not even a hint, which made him a little worried.

"Bam—"

The sound of a violent door breaking suddenly resounded through the room, pulling him back to his thoughts.

In a blink of an eye, after the long-locked door was kicked open, a thin man in black clothes came in, with fingers so thin that his knuckles turned white pressed against the mask on his face, looked at him with a sneer, and at the same time turned away others.

Knowing who came, Mu Xi looked back coldly and ignored him.

Xi Yan smiled instead of anger: "I'm here to tell you a shocking good news. I believe you must be very interested. It's about your good cousin..."

Hearing this, Mu Xi suddenly became nervous, turned her side slightly, and thought that it might be Xi Yan's trick, so she held on to her senses for a while, and responded silently.

Xi Yan paid attention to his subtle movements, and was even more proud: "Hey. Mu Xi, that good cousin of yours who is so proud of you, is actually not a worry at all. For him, in this side hall Waiting for ten years, I'm not worth it for you..."

"Don't confuse black and white! Why am I here? Is it all thanks to you? How can you blame Mu Yun?" Mu Xi turned around coldly, and said, "What have you done to Qingchen these years? Yes What did the world do? You know in your heart that if you do a lot of evil, you will be punished!"

"I don't allow you to mention him!" Xi Yan stood up violently, glaring angrily, "You don't deserve it!"

Mu Xi didn't bother to pay attention to his unreasonable troubles, but couldn't stop worrying in her heart.

After recovering for a while, Xi Yan realized the purpose of his trip, and said sarcastically: "Forget it, anyway, now Luo Qingchen won't listen to your slander... I don't need to argue with you."

"You know, Mu Yun has been kicked out of Mu's house by the second Miss Mu, and now he might be living on the street with that trash."

"What!" Mu Xi questioned without thinking, caring so deeply that her reason could not be overwhelmed.

Seeing his anxious face, Xi Yan knew that his goal had been achieved, and he felt more complacent and at ease, and said casually: "Hey. Who told him to be so ignorant that he insisted on saving a dead person. If you say that it's fine if you save him Forget it, you still have to take it home and raise it, and in the end, you have to turn against your own sister for an outsider... Do you think it's ridiculous? No one in your family is good, so I don't need to pressure you. It's infighting."

"..." Mu Xi lowered her eyes, her palms trembling slightly in shock and anger.

Xi Yan said every word to his heart: "By the way, you haven't seen that scene. For the sake of outsiders, he doesn't pay attention to etiquette, contradicts his sister, and even betrays his relatives out of his heart. Tsk tsk... Do you think this is infatuation? Or is it extremely stupid? Is this your last hope? He doesn’t care about your life at all, he’s just a white-eyed wolf..."

"Enough! Shut up, what right do you have to say about Mu Yun?"

Mu Xi slapped the table angrily, with sharp words: "Although you are a villain, I won't say anything back! But you insult my relatives, and I will never allow it! Do you think I will believe you when you fabricate these things? Are you planning?" It's not that I haven't learned the skills of people."

"Hahaha..." Xi Yan was so angry that he laughed wildly, and provocatively even more arrogantly: "You really think highly of me, Xi Yan, don't you always believe that your brothers and sisters are stronger than Jin Jian? Is this also something I can calculate? Is it?"

Mu Xi suddenly fell silent, feeling faintly afraid, because Xi Yan's words suddenly made sense.

Then, Xi Yan laughed at him again: "I advise you not to wait for your idiot brother to change his mind. Instead of spending years in this dark prison, it is better to die now and disappear from our eyes..."

Xi Yan's words were suddenly full of jealousy.Mu Xi had no time to think, but was angry and confused, picked up the teacup on the table, threw it on the ground angrily, and roared: "Get out. Get out. Unless I see these things with my own eyes, I won't believe it."

"You... are stubborn." Xi Yan didn't expect him to be so persistent, and he was unwilling to be silent for a while. Although he wished to break off Mu Xi's sharp teeth, he was afraid that Luo Qingchen's current situation was not stable enough, and there was nothing he could do about it for the time being , In the end he had to leave angrily.

Mu Xi supported the edge of the table, clasped it tightly, her eyebrows frowned painfully, and her heart was full of hesitation: Mu Yun, did you disappoint your cousin when you became a nightmare?

The bright sun outside the window was suddenly covered by white clouds, and the light that fell through the window was much dimmed.

Eye sockets were slightly red and sore, Mu Xi propped her hands on the table, and remained silent for a while, the silence was the irony of hoping to be shaken and enduring ruined for many years.

"Squeak-"

The door was opened again.

This time, Mu Xi didn't want to listen any more, and threw the porcelain cup on the table away: "Get lost! I won't allow you to slander them any longer!"

"...It's me." The hoarse voice was completely different from the treacherous laughter just now.

Mu Xi paused, turned around slowly, and saw Luo Qingchen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, standing at the door decadently, as if numb, his eyes standing there with dim eyes.

"You, what are you here for?" Mu Xi's tone softened slightly.

Luo Qingchen walked to his side calmly, hugged him suddenly, buried his head heavily on Mu Xi's shoulder, his voice choked up: "Genglan...can you hug me?"

Mu Xi was stunned, as if she hadn't seen such a fragile Luo Qingchen for a long time, and hadn't heard him call her name so intimately for many years. His heart was moved for a moment, and while responding, he asked softly, "What's wrong? Time, where have you been?"

Luo Qingchen blinked his sore eyes, and sighed: "The Chongyang wine has been warmed up, where did Master and Uncle go?"

Mu Xi was stunned for a moment, wondering why Luo Qingchen said half of this hallucination, soberly told him: "You, have you forgotten? Senior Qi and Senior Lin have... passed away ten years ago."

"What, what?" Luo Qingchen's expression was in a trance, and the moment he wept, he seemed to recall the past again, and was silent for a while.

Mu Xi nodded and comforted her, "My condolences."

Relieved, Luo Qingchen came to his senses a little bit, stared at Mu Xi with a frown, and asked doubtfully, "You, have you been waiting for me here all this time?"

Mu Xi snorted coldly, rather complaining: "Didn't you order me to be grounded?"

He didn't know what happened to Luo Qingchen. At first, he was moody overnight, but now his memory is blurred, and his whole body seems to be lost. Last time, he even restricted his freedom because of Xi Yan's slander.

"When did I give such an order?" Luo Qingchen was stunned, looked at Mu Xi with distress, straightened his long hair for him, and said in relief, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'm mad at you again..."

Mu Xi was startled by his strangeness, pursed her lips, determined to test, and forgave magnanimously: "No problem. As long as you wake up, it will be fine."

"Genglan... I always feel that I have a headache recently. Only now, when I get along with you, I feel a little more relaxed... Tell me, did I do evil too deeply, and now I have to face those who are ashamed and wronged one by one?" To repay it?"

Mu Xi was taken aback for a long time, feeling relieved that he hadn't heard him open his heart to him like this for a long time, and took the opportunity to persuade him: "Since you know you are shameless, you might as well remove the power from Xi Yan and abdicate from Jiugai Mountain. To restore Tongjiang to its former peace, we..."

"Xi Yan? Didn't he do a good job during my absence? Why do you mention this? I don't want to hear it."

Luo Qingchen was irritated by his preaching, coldly pushed Mu Xi's palm away, closed his eyes and meditated.

"Hey..." Although Mu Xi had already expected such a situation, after so many years, the persuasion was as useless as today's, and the other party was like being intoxicated. If he couldn't listen to his own voice, he had no choice but to be helpless. sigh.

Hearing the sound, Luo Qingchen couldn't bear it. He relaxed, eased the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "By the way, isn't your birthday coming soon? Why don't we go back to Huayue Villa to relax..."

Mu Xi looked displeased, and said lightly, "I'm sorry, but you don't need to."

Seeing people so angry with his attitude, Luo Qingchen frowned. For some reason, he was inexplicably impatient. He faintly felt that this kind of emotion was out of his control. He was afraid that he would be dissatisfied again. He quickly got up and said nothing. leave.

Mu Xi raised her eyes lightly, feeling even more suspicious in her heart. Combined with the changes in the other party's temperament over the years, and the frequent appearance of such capricious scenes, he became more and more worried. There must be something hidden that he didn't know.
