[Seven Five] Sword Que Merry
Chapter 67 [Slap in the face]
Bao Qingcheng stayed at home for more than half a month, but he couldn't find Zhan Zhao when he went to Kaifeng Mansion, so he dragged Bao Zheng to soak for three days, and finally got permission to go to Mu Mansion to stay for half a day.
"Xiaoqing." She sat in the flower hall without a cup of tea, so she looked around, "How do you arrange patrols in your house?"
Mu Qing hung her head and scraped the tea leaves, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Are you looking for Mr. Zhan? He shouldn't be on duty right now."
"Then where is he?"
"It's living in the wing room in Beiyuan, maybe it's resting."
"Oh, he lives with you?" Bao Qingcheng immediately enviously said, "That's great."
"Daddy felt that he was too tired from running around, so he simply tidied up a room. Occasionally, Mr. Zhan would go back to Kaifeng Mansion."
She put down the tea cups and laughed, "That, that..."
Seeing her thoughts, Mu Qing smiled indifferently: "If you want to go, go, I don't have to let you accompany me."
"Thank you." Bao Qingcheng pushed the cup away and ran out happily.
Speaking of which, she had never been to Zhan Zhao's room before, and she didn't know what it would look like, and her heart beat faster when she thought of it.
"Brother Zhan!"
It was probably because Zhan Zhao didn't like being served, so he didn't see the maid.
Bao Qingcheng went in through the door, and it was quiet around, as if there was no one around, she called a few more times on the spot.
"It's strange... isn't it there?"
There was no one in the room, there was tea on the table, and a few clothes scattered on the bed, all of which were taken out of the bag.It seemed that when he was packing his things, he suddenly went out because of something urgent.
Bao Qingcheng was a little bit lost, just when he was about to go back, he suddenly saw that one of the clothes in the pile was torn.
She couldn't help walking to the bed, leaning over to pick it up for a closer look, it was a blue robe, the workmanship was not exquisite, although it was very old but it was washed very clean, I don't know if it was often worn or taken out by others, The hem of the clothes was frayed.
"Brother Zhan, why does he keep this shirt?" Bao Qingcheng unfolded it to take a look, there was a scratch on his shoulder, which was obviously left when he fought with someone.
She had never seen Zhan Zhao wear this before, but since it was broken, she thought about it and took it back to him to mend it before sending it back.
"Miss?"
Turning around, he found Zhan Zhao standing by the door with a surprised expression, as if he had just come back.
Bao Qingcheng didn't think too much, put away his clothes, smiled at him and said, "Brother Zhan, where have you been?"
"Your Excellency asked me to go to Zhouzhou Bridge, why..." His eyes fell on the clothes in her hand, Zhan Zhao's eyes changed slightly, "Don't touch this clothes."
Bao Qingcheng explained indifferently: "The clothes are torn, don't worry, I'll mend them for you."
"This one doesn't need to be repaired!"
She insisted: "No? How do you wear it? Are you afraid that I can't mend it? It's okay, my father's court clothes are all mine..."
Before the words finished, Zhan Zhao stepped forward a few steps, and could not help but snatch it from her hand, unwilling to explain further, "I said there is no need to mend it, so I don't need to mend it!"
Seeing his tone so harsh for the first time, Bao Qingcheng froze on the spot, and felt aggrieved after a while: "Isn't it just an old dress? Why are you so nervous about it?"
Zhan Zhao frowned and carefully turned the robe over, he was relieved to see that there was no damage.
"Although the clothes are old, this one is very important to me."
Bao Qingcheng asked him sourly: "Important? Why?"
Zhan Zhao lowered his eyelids, and said in a low voice, "This is... made by my late wife."
She stared wide-eyed, her chest felt so stuffy and painful at once, she stood in a daze for a while, then bit her lower lip, turned her head around and ran out the door, feeling depressed and uncomfortable, without looking up at the road, she bumped into a person head-on.
"Oh, miss!"
I have never seen such a frizzy girl, Mu Ci was knocked dizzy by her, and fell to the ground after losing her footsteps.Qiaoer was startled, and hurried up to help her.
With tears in his eyes, Bao Qingcheng stood helplessly looking at her, then said sorry, pursed his lips and ran while crying.
Mu Ci tremblingly stood up from the ground, looked at the direction she was going in and said to himself: "Why are you wronged, crying so hard?"
When she was finishing speaking, she caught a glimpse of Zhan Zhao coming to the side at some time from the corner of her eye, so she stopped talking and just lowered her head to pat the ashes on her body. Seeing this, Qiaoer quickly followed her to pat.
After taking pictures of the upper body and then the lower body, even Zhan Zhao couldn't help but look suspiciously at the end of the filming.
"Are you okay?"
Mu Ci shook his head.
"Ah, miss... your hand!"
Xu Shi had been bumped by Bao Qingcheng just now, and scratched somewhere, there was a long gash on the back of his hand, blood was still oozing faintly.After all, it is my own lady, if the old lady asks about her inescapable responsibility for such a big wound, Qiaoer immediately panics.
"I, I'll call the doctor right away!"
Mu Ci frowned and looked at her, "Why do you need a doctor for a little injury?"
Seeing that her wounds were indeed not small, Zhan Zhao said, "There are quite a lot of wound medicine to stop the bleeding here, Ms. Mu can take care of it for now."
"Okay, okay." Before Muci could speak, Qiao'er nodded hurriedly, "Then thank you Mr. Zhan."
The layout of his room is very simple, probably because he doesn't live there often, and also lacks some popularity.
Qiaoer took some ointment from the small box given by Zhan Zhao, and gently applied it on Mu Ci, a cool feeling came slowly from the back of her hand.
"The wound is not deep, but I don't know if it will leave a scar." She took her hand and looked through it worriedly.
"No, wounds on hands usually heal quickly." Zhan Zhao poured a cup of tea and put it on the table, "This ointment is something from the palace, so it must have the effect of removing scars."
"That's good……"
Taking advantage of Qiaoer's free time to give her medicine, Mu Ci involuntarily looked around his room, and soon saw the old shirt on the bed, a very familiar color, which made her eyes move slightly.
"Zhan is being rude."
Probably also aware of her gaze, Zhan Zhao quickly stepped forward to put the clothes back into the bag, and placed them neatly on the bedside.
"Miss, it's done." Qiao'er tied the gauze in a knot, "Look, does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Mu Ci got up from the table without even looking at it, and saluted Zhan Zhao generously, "Thank you, Mr. Zhan."
"You're welcome."
Even though he knew he couldn't stay here for too long, Mu Ci couldn't help but take another deep look at him.
Her eyes have always been very strange, just like when he was in the Kaifeng mansion that day, Zhan Zhao couldn't help smiling: "...Miss Mu?"
"Your clothes..." Mu Ci hesitated for a moment, and said flatly, "There is a hole in the sleeve."
Hearing this, he stretched out his arm, and sure enough, he saw a tiny mark under the sleeve.
"Maybe it was accidentally drawn somewhere."
She nodded lightly: "Fortunately, it's not long, let me make it up for you... Qiaoer."
Ben came out to bask in the sun to embroider, and the needles and threads were all ready-made. Mu Ci rummaged through the box for a while, and compared the color of his official robe to find the red silk thread.
Zhan Zhaoyuan didn't intend to let her mend it, but for some reason, he didn't refuse, and just let her sit beside him and thread the needle quietly.
I remembered that there used to be a person who often sewed clothes for him under the lamp.It was a pair of eyebrows and eyes completely different from hers, a very fragile creature, afraid of light, sunlight, and dogs barking, even if she was injured and saw blood, she would be happy all night...
Mu Ci bit off the thread and finished it, still bowed to him respectfully, and then left with the girl.
Inside the house, Zhan Zhao leaned against the bed and was lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.
When Mu Ci returned to his room, he saw Bao Qingcheng facing the wall alone in a secluded place in the garden, his shoulders shaking up and down, he must be still crying.She wanted to pretend she didn't see it, but seeing her crying sadly, she turned around and walked over.
"What's so sad? You finally came here, shouldn't you be happy?"
Bao Qingcheng was startled by her, rubbing his eyes and turning his head sideways.
"Xiaoci, it's you..." She curled her lips and sobbed twice, "...Don't mention it, I knew I wouldn't come."
"What?" Mu Ci tilted his head to look at her, "Did you quarrel with Mr. Zhan?"
"Forget it doesn't count." Bao Qingcheng frowned, the more he thought about it, the sadder he became, tears poured down his face, he threw himself into her arms and cried, "I just found out today that he has someone he likes!"
"He has someone he likes?!" Mu Ci was stunned for a moment, and asked quickly, "Who is it?"
Bao Qingcheng hugged her, choked up and said, "Brother Zhan is married... His wife has passed away, but he is still thinking about it!"
Mu Ci opened his eyes slightly, and didn't know what to say for a long time.
"You...you didn't...I mean." She was a little incoherent. "Look at him treating you well, I thought you had..."
"It's because I like him, it's just unrequited love." Bao Qingcheng said sadly, "Brother Zhan has never expressed his affection for me. I just thought he was busy and didn't consider his children's private affairs. Who would have thought...he is married."
When we met for the first time, I saw that they had a very close relationship. I always thought that they had already expressed their feelings for each other, but I never imagined that he still...
Bao Qingcheng's mind was in chaos, and he didn't pay attention to her expression, "Xiao Ci, what do you think I should do! No matter how much I do, I can't compare to a dead person... unless I die too, so... Will he miss me too?"
Mu Ci heard that this was wrong, and hurriedly scolded her, "Don't think about it, you only have one life, why bother to make things difficult for yourself?"
"But I'm just not reconciled." Bao Qingcheng looked at her with red eyes, "Everyone is dead, he can't think about it forever."
"Yes."
Mu Ci murmured, "Everyone is dead..."
For the remaining half a month, they also spent it in a calm environment. The Minister's Mansion was heavily guarded, and nothing unusual happened. Everyone began to suspect that the threatening letter might just be written by someone to scare Mu Xian. In fact, he was heartless and had no intention of making a move.
The Shangyuan Festival is coming soon, and the Mu Mansion is decorated with colorful lanterns, colorful lanterns, and loud music everywhere, full of festive atmosphere.
After finishing his patrol in the morning, Zhan Zhao found a quiet corner to read the files as usual. He has almost understood the ins and outs of the case 50 years ago, and he has some clues about the people who framed the Gu family back then. , and then go to scrutiny.
"Miss."
At the gazebo, two sisters from the Mu family were admiring the flowers and playing. A nanny walked in from the door of the hanging flowers, holding a small pug in her hand.
"The princess sent it over by someone, because he said he raised two and gave one to the girls to play with."
Mu Qing pinched the flower branch, frowned and looked at it in disgust, then took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose.
"It smells so strong, I don't like this."
"This..." Mammy was in trouble, "It's not easy to return the things given by the princess, the young lady just ask the servants to help take care of them."
"Keep it in my room? That's not necessary. The whole house smells like this. How much incense do you need to suppress it?" She shook her head, "Take it away."
Mu Ci put down the scroll upon hearing the sound, and said lightly, "Give it to me."
Mammy was worrying, when she heard that she wanted it, she quickly brought it up with a smile, "Second Miss likes it? That's great... Come on, follow carefully."
Zhan Zhao saw that she was holding the puppy in her arms as if nothing had happened, and there was no discomfort on her face.
"Look at how cute this puppy is." Fearing that Mu Ci would say something she didn't want, Mammy teased her a few times, "Look, it's still sneaking into your arms. I think it's because of the fate of Second Miss."
Mu Ci turned his head to look at the dog and smiled slightly.
"It's okay, actually, I'd rather have a cat."
"It's also easy. Tomorrow, I'll send someone to bring a Persian domestic cat. It's very beautiful. The color of the two eyes is different, and the hair is long and smooth, just like a human."
There was no joy or anger in Mu Ci's eyes, "It doesn't matter, as long as it's a cat."
During this period of time, Zhan Zhao also got to know a little bit about the second young lady of the Mu family.She was born of Mu Xian's concubine, and was born as a concubine. Although she was born on the same day as Mu Qing, her treatment in the manor was very different.
Her biological mother passed away due to illness when she was ten years old. Although Lin has been raising her since then, she has not treated her like her own flesh and blood. She has been bullied since she was a child and has a weak temper. She never dared to confront Mu Qing, and only occasionally Take down people to vent their anger.
Half a year ago, at the beginning of summer, she accidentally fell into the lake and was discovered when she was about to drown. She was unconscious for three days. She came over, and since then her character has become more and more eccentric.
Zhan Zhao could guess that it was Mu Qing's hands and feet that caused her to drown.There were intrigues and strife in the mansion. Although he was not born in it, he had handled many cases over the years, so he had some experience with it.
The biological mother is dead, and the father doesn't care about anything. In such a mansion, there are almost no relatives. Even though she is a lady from the official family in name, with golden branches and jade leaves, I am afraid that it is not easy to live every day, right?
Zhan Zhao suddenly thought of Nian Yi.
She was also a lady of the official family back then, I don't know what kind of life she lived...
Mu Ci asked Qiao'er to take the dog back to the yard first, she didn't want to worry about trivial matters, anyway, there was someone who could order her around, so she let her toss around, and she went for a stroll elsewhere to bask in the sun.
This year is a warm winter, except for the snowfall at the beginning of winter, the sun has been particularly good these days, staying in the house is also boring, so I wandered around for a while.
When walking back, a noise was suddenly heard outside the main hall.
"What a shameless girl, I didn't expect your hands and feet to be so dirty!"
There was a crisp "slap", the slap hit the girl's face resoundingly, the girl didn't dare to speak back, and clutched her cheek sobbing.
Mu Ci frowned and walked forward quickly.
"Miss, I really didn't take..."
Mu Qing folded her arms and sneered: "Didn't take it? Why did you find it on you without taking it? You got all the stolen goods and you still quibble!"
"But, I don't know why it's on me... Maybe... maybe the thief misplaced it..."
"You think I'm stupid?"
"Sister, beating a dog depends on the owner, right?"
Mu Ci seldom calls her elder sister, but these days she usually calls her sister that way, accompanied by a chill.Mu Qing swallowed unconsciously, and raised her head: "It's just in time, sister, you have to take good care of the people in your house, otherwise you won't know when things will be emptied."
"Oh." As soon as Mu Ci lowered her eyes, Qiaoer looked at her pitifully.
"Second Miss, I didn't take it, I really didn't..."
"Are you still talking back?" Mu Qing raised her hand, and she grabbed her wrist before she could finish the fight.
She secretly gritted her teeth and exerted force, unexpectedly, the strength of her hand was much stronger than before, the slap did not last after all.
"What did you lose?"
Mu Qing withdrew her arm and said unnaturally: "A string of coral chains."
"It's cheap, only 100 taels."
"It's not a question of whether it's cheap or not!" She said angrily, "She took it!"
"It's not sure yet." Mu Ci asked lightly, "Coincidentally, when did you change into your clothes?"
"Just...that's when you told me to put the dog back in the yard, miss."
"Where did you put your clothes before?"
"At the head of my own bed."
After asking, Mu Ci looked up at her: "Did you hear that? Maybe someone secretly put it in."
"What do you mean?!" Mu Qing raised her eyebrows upside down, and deliberately raised her voice, "You mean, I framed her? Just such a girl?"
"Whatever you say, this is my person, and you don't need to teach me how to deal with it."
"But she stole from me!"
Mu Ci was expressionless: "I asked her to steal it, how about it?"
Qiao'er was startled immediately: "Second, Second Miss?!"
Before she could recover from the shock, a voice behind her sent a chill down her spine.
"How dare you instigate your servants to do such a thing!"
It must be that Mu Qing saw Lin Shi outside the door a long time ago, and deliberately provoked her. When Mu Ci turned her head, she saw the woman walking towards this side with an angry face.
"I see that you are gentle and not talkative on weekdays, but I still think you are a good boy." Lin stood still, pointed at the tip of her nose, and cursed, "Your father always praised you for being gentle and gentle, but I never thought that he would talk to your sister like this in private. of?"
Mu Ci looked at her coldly, but didn't say anything.
"Mother, it's lucky that you passed by..." Mu Qing trotted and plunged into her arms, "My sister is usually fierce, I dare not even speak back."
Only when she had suffered all kinds of grievances, Lin patted her head distressedly, "Don't be afraid, I will make the decision for you, mother."
Then he turned to Mu Ci and shouted: "Speak up, are you dumb?"
"When the mother talks, the child dare not interrupt."
Lin sneered and said, "Don't dare to interrupt? I'm afraid you don't think so at the moment, right?"
Know you still ask?
Mu Ci lowered his brows and eyes, but still did not speak.
Seeing that she was silent, it was clear that she wanted to spend it with him, Lin's nameless fire grew bigger and bigger, his whole body was shaking with anger, and he raised his hand as if to hit her.
Mu Ci moved extremely quickly, pinching her wrist as if capturing Mu Qing.
"You! You dare to stop me?"
She hesitated for a moment, then let go.
The slap fell quickly and accurately.
Zhan Zhao was outside the door, and when he saw the reddish fingerprints on her cheeks, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
The author has something to say: I feel sorry for me! !
Because I didn't intend to abuse Mr. Zhan at the beginning, but now I feel that my heroine is so pitiful. . .
Itchy hands played a house fight [Okay, just kidding.
In such a situation where wind, knife, frost and sword are threatening each other, I really want the heroine to kick the door and run away from home every second! !
[Facts once again prove that I don't have the talent to write house fights, silent tears]
Then explain a little bit why Mr. Zhan did not recognize Nian Yi:
In fact, he knew that ghosts would not become human after they died.
And Nian Yi was wiped out in his arms, and after four years, he had no hope.
In addition, the other party is a lady with status, and her appearance and habits are completely different from my previous wife...so I haven't accepted this setting for a while.
[Master Zhan: You have the final say, admit it, you are just trying to make up the word count...]
[Don't expose me, we can still be the protagonist and the author! ! 】
As for Nian Yi, because he has been dead for four years, and before he died, he also said that he wanted Zhan Zhao to find his own happiness.
The reason why she hanged up is because of the many troubles of people and ghosts together [she will not be wiped out when she is with Shi Yin.
So to a certain extent, she still hopes that Mr. Zhan can live a normal life, and then she saw the cute little bag
So I feel that I am out of touch with the times and it is better not to disturb Master Zhan's life...
[Nian Yi: This article has thus become a series of I really want to die of you...]
Recognize that there will be!Believe me, this is just a few chapters away!
By the way, this article seems to be more than half over [try to finish it in March!ho ho ho ho -
[Master Zhan: Where is the wife of the QwQ nest~ 嘤嘤咻】
[Nian Yi: ...]
[Turn around]
[Number [-]: The policeman Shushu, someone here is blind. 】
"Xiaoqing." She sat in the flower hall without a cup of tea, so she looked around, "How do you arrange patrols in your house?"
Mu Qing hung her head and scraped the tea leaves, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Are you looking for Mr. Zhan? He shouldn't be on duty right now."

It was probably because Zhan Zhao didn't like being served, so he didn't see the maid.

The Shangyuan Festival is coming soon, and the Mu Mansion is decorated with colorful lanterns, colorful lanterns, and loud music everywhere, full of festive atmosphere.
After finishing his patrol in the morning, Zhan Zhao found a quiet corner to read the files as usual. He has almost understood the ins and outs of the case 50 years ago, and he has some clues about the people who framed the Gu family back then. , and then go to scrutiny.
"Miss."
At the gazebo, two sisters from the Mu family were admiring the flowers and playing. A nanny walked in from the door of the hanging flowers, holding a small pug in her hand.
"The princess sent it over by someone, because he said he raised two and gave one to the girls to play with."
Mu Qing pinched the flower branch, frowned and looked at it in disgust, then took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose.
"It smells so strong, I don't like this."
"This..." Mammy was in trouble, "It's not easy to return the things given by the princess, the young lady just ask the servants to help take care of them."
"Keep it in my room? That's not necessary. The whole house smells like this. How much incense do you need to suppress it?" She shook her head, "Take it away."
Mu Ci put down the scroll upon hearing the sound, and said lightly, "Give it to me."
Mammy was worrying, when she heard that she wanted it, she quickly brought it up with a smile, "Second Miss likes it? That's great... Come on, follow carefully."
Zhan Zhao saw that she was holding the puppy in her arms as if nothing had happened, and there was no discomfort on her face.
"Look at how cute this puppy is." Fearing that Mu Ci would say something she didn't want, Mammy teased her a few times, "Look, it's still sneaking into your arms. I think it's because of the fate of Second Miss."
Mu Ci turned his head to look at the dog and smiled slightly.
"It's okay, actually, I'd rather have a cat."
"It's also easy. Tomorrow, I'll send someone to bring a Persian domestic cat. It's very beautiful. The color of the two eyes is different, and the hair is long and smooth, just like a human."
There was no joy or anger in Mu Ci's eyes, "It doesn't matter, as long as it's a cat."
During this period of time, Zhan Zhao also got to know a little bit about the second young lady of the Mu family.She was born of Mu Xian's concubine, and was born as a concubine. Although she was born on the same day as Mu Qing, her treatment in the manor was very different.
Her biological mother passed away due to illness when she was ten years old. Although Lin has been raising her since then, she has not treated her like her own flesh and blood. She has been bullied since she was a child and has a weak temper. She never dared to confront Mu Qing, and only occasionally Take down people to vent their anger.
Half a year ago, at the beginning of summer, she accidentally fell into the lake and was discovered when she was about to drown. She was unconscious for three days. She came over, and since then her character has become more and more eccentric.
Zhan Zhao could guess that it was Mu Qing's hands and feet that caused her to drown.There were intrigues and strife in the mansion. Although he was not born in it, he had handled many cases over the years, so he had some experience with it.
The biological mother is dead, and the father doesn't care about anything. In such a mansion, there are almost no relatives. Even though she is a lady from the official family in name, with golden branches and jade leaves, I am afraid that it is not easy to live every day, right?
Zhan Zhao suddenly thought of Nian Yi.
She was also a lady of the official family back then, I don't know what kind of life she lived...
Mu Ci asked Qiao'er to take the dog back to the yard first, she didn't want to worry about trivial matters, anyway, there was someone who could order her around, so she let her toss around, and she went for a stroll elsewhere to bask in the sun.
This year is a warm winter, except for the snowfall at the beginning of winter, the sun has been particularly good these days, staying in the house is also boring, so I wandered around for a while.
When walking back, a noise was suddenly heard outside the main hall.
"What a shameless girl, I didn't expect your hands and feet to be so dirty!"
There was a crisp "slap", the slap hit the girl's face resoundingly, the girl didn't dare to speak back, and clutched her cheek sobbing.
Mu Ci frowned and walked forward quickly.
"Miss, I really didn't take..."
Mu Qing folded her arms and sneered: "Didn't take it? Why did you find it on you without taking it? You got all the stolen goods and you still quibble!"
"But, I don't know why it's on me... Maybe... maybe the thief misplaced it..."
"You think I'm stupid?"
"Sister, beating a dog depends on the owner, right?"
Mu Ci seldom calls her elder sister, but these days she usually calls her sister that way, accompanied by a chill.Mu Qing swallowed unconsciously, and raised her head: "It's just in time, sister, you have to take good care of the people in your house, otherwise you won't know when things will be emptied."
"Oh." As soon as Mu Ci lowered her eyes, Qiaoer looked at her pitifully.
"Second Miss, I didn't take it, I really didn't..."
"Are you still talking back?" Mu Qing raised her hand, and she grabbed her wrist before she could finish the fight.
She secretly gritted her teeth and exerted force, unexpectedly, the strength of her hand was much stronger than before, the slap did not last after all.
"What did you lose?"
Mu Qing withdrew her arm and said unnaturally: "A string of coral chains."
"It's cheap, only 100 taels."
"It's not a question of whether it's cheap or not!" She said angrily, "She took it!"
"It's not sure yet." Mu Ci asked lightly, "Coincidentally, when did you change into your clothes?"
"Just...that's when you told me to put the dog back in the yard, miss."
"Where did you put your clothes before?"
"At the head of my own bed."
After asking, Mu Ci looked up at her: "Did you hear that? Maybe someone secretly put it in."
"What do you mean?!" Mu Qing raised her eyebrows upside down, and deliberately raised her voice, "You mean, I framed her? Just such a girl?"
"Whatever you say, this is my person, and you don't need to teach me how to deal with it."
"But she stole from me!"
Mu Ci was expressionless: "I asked her to steal it, how about it?"
Qiao'er was startled immediately: "Second, Second Miss?!"
Before she could recover from the shock, a voice behind her sent a chill down her spine.
"How dare you instigate your servants to do such a thing!"
It must be that Mu Qing saw Lin Shi outside the door a long time ago, and deliberately provoked her. When Mu Ci turned her head, she saw the woman walking towards this side with an angry face.
"I see that you are gentle and not talkative on weekdays, but I still think you are a good boy." Lin stood still, pointed at the tip of her nose, and cursed, "Your father always praised you for being gentle and gentle, but I never thought that he would talk to your sister like this in private. of?"
Mu Ci looked at her coldly, but didn't say anything.
"Mother, it's lucky that you passed by..." Mu Qing trotted and plunged into her arms, "My sister is usually fierce, I dare not even speak back."
Only when she had suffered all kinds of grievances, Lin patted her head distressedly, "Don't be afraid, I will make the decision for you, mother."
Then he turned to Mu Ci and shouted: "Speak up, are you dumb?"
"When the mother talks, the child dare not interrupt."
Lin sneered and said, "Don't dare to interrupt? I'm afraid you don't think so at the moment, right?"
Know you still ask?
Mu Ci lowered his brows and eyes, but still did not speak.
Seeing that she was silent, it was clear that she wanted to spend it with him, Lin's nameless fire grew bigger and bigger, his whole body was shaking with anger, and he raised his hand as if to hit her.
Mu Ci moved extremely quickly, pinching her wrist as if capturing Mu Qing.
"You! You dare to stop me?"
She hesitated for a moment, then let go.
The slap fell quickly and accurately.
Zhan Zhao was outside the door, and when he saw the reddish fingerprints on her cheeks, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
The author has something to say: I feel sorry for me! !
Because I didn't intend to abuse Mr. Zhan at the beginning, but now I feel that my heroine is so pitiful. . .
Itchy hands played a house fight [Okay, just kidding.
In such a situation where wind, knife, frost and sword are threatening each other, I really want the heroine to kick the door and run away from home every second! !
[Facts once again prove that I don't have the talent to write house fights, silent tears]
Then explain a little bit why Mr. Zhan did not recognize Nian Yi:
In fact, he knew that ghosts would not become human after they died.
And Nian Yi was wiped out in his arms, and after four years, he had no hope.
In addition, the other party is a lady with status, and her appearance and habits are completely different from my previous wife...so I haven't accepted this setting for a while.
[Master Zhan: You have the final say, admit it, you are just trying to make up the word count...]
[Don't expose me, we can still be the protagonist and the author! ! 】
As for Nian Yi, because he has been dead for four years, and before he died, he also said that he wanted Zhan Zhao to find his own happiness.
The reason why she hanged up is because of the many troubles of people and ghosts together [she will not be wiped out when she is with Shi Yin.
So to a certain extent, she still hopes that Mr. Zhan can live a normal life, and then she saw the cute little bag
So I feel that I am out of touch with the times and it is better not to disturb Master Zhan's life...
[Nian Yi: This article has thus become a series of I really want to die of you...]
Recognize that there will be!Believe me, this is just a few chapters away!
By the way, this article seems to be more than half over [try to finish it in March!ho ho ho ho -
[Master Zhan: Where is the wife of the QwQ nest~ 嘤嘤咻】
[Nian Yi: ...]
[Turn around]
[Number [-]: The policeman Shushu, someone here is blind. 】
