Chapter 187
Chang Hui smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master Xiao said that you can be self-defense if you have money. He can no longer use it, so you can leave all these things for you."
"Why did he go crazy?" Chen Muqing couldn't help but be furious, "Whoever wants his things, I just want him to come back..." As he said that, without any warning, tears fell down.
Chang Hui smiled awkwardly, looking very helpless.
The scream of Yuzhan came from outside: "Madam, Madam, what's wrong with you!"
Chen Muqing didn't bother to wipe his tears, and pulled out the curtain when he pulled out his feet.
The eldest lady leaned on the shoulder of the jade hairpin, her face as white as paper.
"I'm fine, don't yell... I'm just a little dizzy!"
Chen Muqing hurriedly stepped forward and helped the eldest wife: "You can lie in the house for a while!"
The eldest wife held her forehead and entered the main hall with the help of Shen Muqing and Yuzhan.
Seeing Chang Hui, she stopped, barely showed a smile, and said, "I heard from my aunt that a friend went to Bahe for my family's righteousness... Seeing that the gentleman is extraordinary and full of dust, if I guess it's right, it should be your gentleman!"
It's good to have a dusty face, but she doesn't see that her demeanor is extraordinary... If it were normal, Chen Muqing might have teased Chang Hui, but when she thought of Xiao Sa's will-like order, she really couldn't laugh.
Fortunately, Chang Hui is an open-minded person. Although she felt that the eldest wife's words were a bit exaggerated, she didn't take them to heart. She smiled and said, "The eldest wife is too awarded, just call me Chang Hui."
After hearing this, the eldest lady looked at Chen Muqing: "I want to ask him a few words..."
Chen Muqing hurriedly said, "If you have anything to say, lie down and breathe a sigh of relief."
After saying that, he gave another wink at the jade hairpin. The two of them helped the eldest wife to the big kang next to the window of the east room. Yingfen took a pillow and placed it behind the eldest wife. Chen Muqing asked the little maid to put the fresh Buddha's hands and pineapple on the kang table, and there was a faint sweet fragrance in the air. Then she took the hot tea offered by Mingxia and handed it to the eldest wife: "Do you have a little hot tea!"
The eldest lady looked a little tired, and she didn't want to wiping Chen Muqing's kindness. She forced a sip of tea and said, "Don't be busy, it's nothing, I just have a few words to ask Mr. Chang."
Chen Muqing guessed that she had heard the conversation between him and Chang Hui just now, and sighed in her heart, put the teacup on the kang table, stood behind the eldest wife and asked Yingfen to invite Chang Hui in and speak, and asked someone to serve Chang Hui and put it by the kang.
Chang Hui came in and gave a gift to the eldest lady. The eldest lady asked him to sit by the kang and cheer up to ask about Xiao Sa's situation.
"...The Yuanmeng people did not make things difficult for them, and put them under house arrest in the tent. They sent five or six women to serve them, and sometimes they could go out for a walk." Chang Hui replied, "I pretended to be a passing person and asked Mr. Xiao for a can of water to drink."
Chen Muqing and the eldest wife both heard it a little incredible. They exchanged glances, and the eldest wife asked, "Since that's the case, why don't they escape back?"
Chang Hui looked at him with a slight sarcastic look: "You don't know that Yuan Meng and us are completely different places. The place is full of vast grasslands. It is common for not seeing anyone on the grassland for two or three days without any personal information. If you don't have the experience and know the direction, you may get lost on the grassland." Speaking of this, his eyes were solemn, "And the emperor and Mr. Xiao and Mr. Gu Dabao are together. If you want to leave, you can only walk together. Although Mr. Xiao is agile, the emperor and Mr. Gu Dabao are powerless. Not to mention running away, they are panting even if they walk a few more steps. But Mr. Xiao is unwilling to escape alone, saying that he is afraid that he will implicate the emperor. He thought for a long time before he asked me to bring something to his aunt..." As he said that, he looked at Chen Muqing.
Chen Muqing gave the things Xiao Sa brought to her to the eldest wife and murmured: "... Maybe the one who went there was Chang Hui, so he entrusted the dock to me..."
The eldest wife put the contract letter on her chest, and tears fell like rain.
Chen Muqing's tears also burst out. But she didn't dare to cry - the eldest wife was Xiao Sa's biological mother, why should she cry...
Thinking of this, she felt even more sad, and turned her face to ask the little maid to give the eldest lady a clean face.
The eldest lady took her hand and returned the contract to Chen Muqing: "You have put it away. This is what he left for you..."
Chen Muqing pushed it to the eldest wife: "How can I accept it..."
The eldest wife insisted on Chen Muqing accepting it, and said luckily: "... Fortunately, I didn't go to the mansion to propose marriage in a daze, otherwise, I would have really implicated you."
Chen Muqing thought of the boy who was so appropriate and natural in Gong Jinhong, his bright eyes as bright as summer, and his arrogant smile on his face...
She couldn't help but burst into tears in front of the eldest wife.
The eldest lady patted her hands: "Good boy, don't cry. When you cry, my heart will be in chaos."
Since Li's death, no female elder has cared about her like this... Chen Muqing thought of her indescribable worry and fear during this period, pretending to be calm and forced to smile, and the pain and anxiety of tossing and turning late at night, she fell on the knees of the eldest lady and started crying - like a child, crying unscrupulously.
For a moment, the room was filled with sorrow and mist. Yingfen and Mingxia all covered their mouths and started crying.
Chang Hui's eyes also darkened, and she quietly avoided the main hall.
Chen Muqing cried for a while, and a little maid brought hot water.
What I originally prepared for the eldest wife, but now Chen Muqing needs it even more.
The eldest lady rolled up her sleeves and twisted the handkerchief for Chen Muqing.
Chen Muqing covered his hot veil on his eyes and cried silently again.
The eldest wife didn't advise her, and stroked Chen Muqing's hair and made her cry to the fullest.
"It won't be a problem... As the saying goes, if you survive a big disaster, you need to be blessed. Look, so many ministers didn't come back, and he even saved his life. It can be seen that he was a blessed person. You don't know that he was famous for being naughty when he was a child. Once he saw a swallow's nest under the eaves, he had to take it out. At that time, his grandmother was still alive and sent a little maid to guard him every day. As a result, he dragged the Grand Master's chair under the eaves while the old lady was taking a nap, stood on the back of the chair with a bamboo pole and poked the swallow's nest down... There was no maid next to him, but he fell to his strength... At that time, his hand was so hard that he couldn't lift it up... But now he is still dancing guns and swords... Don't worry, he won't be a problem. He is just naughty, and it's better for people to always think about him like this..."
Amid the eldest wife's nagging, Chen Muqing's emotions slowly calmed down.
She raised her head and smiled at the eldest lady with a little embarrassed look.
The eldest lady saw her smiling reluctantly, and her small face as big as a palm was so thin that she was only a pair of big eyes with a dark look. Her sadness arose, but she didn't dare to show it. She had to pretend to be relaxed and called the maids to help her clean her face and comb her hair.
Chen Muqing was worried about Chen and Xiao’s meeting. She called Yingfen: “Go to the master’s place to see if there is any news, remember to come and say it.”
Yingfen left with red eyes.
The maids took the target lens and came in to help Chen Muqing wash it again, and Ying Fen broke it back.
"Auntie, big wife," she bent her knees to salute the two of them, "Don't worry, you two. Master Xiao said that all the requests made by Lord Wang can be done, and all of them can be done at least three days at a time."
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Muqing then realized that Chang Hui had not left yet. She hurriedly ordered Yingfen: "Pack a few boxes of snacks for Master Chang and let him take them back for the children!"
Yingfen agreed, and after a while he turned back.
"Master Chang asked, is the court going to send people to Bahe? If someone goes to Bahe, he wants to go with him. He also said that he is familiar with him and if he wants to run away, he can lead the way."
When the eldest wife heard this, she immediately closed her hands and recited "Amitabha" and said hurriedly: "Ask Mr. Chang, if we have anything else to worry about, our Xiao family will help you."
Yingfen said something and replied again: "Master Chang said that there is nothing to worry about. He also said that his aunt knew where he lives. After a date, he would tell him."
Chen Muqing was very grateful and went to the main hall with tears wet: "Master Chang, thank you!"
Chang Hui smiled and said, "What's the point of thanking me for this! Don't worry, auntie, it's really not possible. I knocked Master Xiao out and picked it up with a felt bag."
Chen Muqing couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed.
*******
On September 16, Wang Qing and forty-six people left Kyoto quietly - including Chang Hui and twenty-six people Xiao Zhao found at Wang Qing's request.
Chen Muqing began to make shoes day and night, personally put the soles of the shoe and embroider the gang himself... It seems that only in this way can one make his heart as messy as a ball of scattered.
Yingfen was very worried when she saw her like this, and often chatted with Mingxia privately: "If Mr. Xiao can't come back, what should we do if our aunt?"
Mingxia was more worried than her: "I'm afraid that Mr. Xiao will take Tu Xiaoque back when he comes back..."
"No way?" Yingfen hesitated.
"Why can't it?" Mingxia was a little angry, "Otherwise, how could the eldest lady just send her to the temple instead of driving her out of the door... Are you still afraid that Mr. Xiao will come back and pursue this matter? Only then did she leave room."
Yingfen couldn't help but retorted: "That's because she was afraid that Tu Xiaoque's brother would run around after she took her back..."
As the two were talking, they saw Yingxiu running in in a panic: "No, no, Liang Jimin is here!"
Yingfen and Mingxia stood up and said in unison: "What are he doing? Who is guarding the gate? Why are you so eyebrow-free? Why don't you beat them out?"
Yingxiu pouted: "I said I was here to send wedding invitations - the second girl is going to get married!"
"What does he have to do with our family with marries?" Yingfen said angrily, "Where is the aunt?"
"Where are you making shoes in the house?" Yingxiu said, "Mom Li took her mother to guard Tingyuxuan's door and said no one would let her in!"
After hearing this, Mingxia immediately gave Yingfen a look and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go with my aunt to make shoes."
Yingfen knew it and went to Chen Muqing with Mingxia with a smile.
In the evening, Aunt Chen discussed Chen Zhen: "Where do we want to give a gift from the second girl of the Liang family?"
Chen Zhen glared at Aunt Chen coldly: "He wore a fifth-rank official uniform and came to me to show off his power. I'm going to give him a gift. Are you crazy?"
Aunt Chen agreed embarrassedly.
