Chapter 178 Apology
Xu Shu was listening to Jingyang talking about gossip.
Mu Jinghua was explaining what happened last night to Jiang Xiangwan. It was not appropriate to ask Qu Xiu to help translate for such a matter.
But Jiang Xiangwan couldn't read, and Mu Jinghua's hands were tired from gesturing. Jiang Xiangwan could only guess one answer: "No?"
"there is nothing?"
Mu Jinghua felt a little hopeless and planned to take Jiang Xiangwan to the crime scene yesterday. But he had just taken a step when he heard Jiang Xiao's voice again: "Brother Mu...someone is looking for you outside."
Mu Jinghua glared at Jiang Xiao. Jiang Xiao had been interrupting him since the beginning, asking him explicitly or implicitly when he could return Jiang Xiangwan.
Every time he appeared, Jiang Xiangwan's attention would be attracted by him, and when she came back to her senses, she would forget what Mu Jinghua was gesturing.
If it weren't for Jiang Xiao, he might have made it clear long ago.
Now being looked at by Mu Jinghua with resentment, Jiang Xiao smiled innocently and helplessly: "This time it's real."
Seeing that he didn't seem to have any intention of lying to him, Mu Jinghua sighed and went out to greet him.
When Xu Shu went to town today, he said that he would ask Ah Xi to bring Du Wanbai and Caidie back.
Thinking that Du Wanbai was only injured but Caidie's face was disfigured, Mu Jinghua felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Why not him?
But if it was Du Wanbai who was disfigured, Xu Shu would probably directly arrange for Du Wanbai to be the housekeeper in Shiqiao Village instead of being as harsh as he was to Caidie.
Xu Shu seemed unwilling to admit that he did have a special feeling towards Du Wanbai. Was it compassion? Or pity?
Or...
Disaster.
Mu Jinghua quickened his pace, frowned, and immediately returned to normal.
He looked up at the door and saw a young man in red clothes with gorgeous clothes and a high ponytail.
It’s Qin Lianxi.
This person cannot be kept either.
After this thought flashed through his mind, Mu Jinghua immediately calmed down. He took a half step back and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Qin Lianxi walked towards him with an unsteady step and a limp.
Thinking of what Xu Shu said about his injured leg, Mu Jinghua felt a flash of pleasure in his heart, and then he took another half step back.
Qin Lianxi did not move, but just looked at Mu Jinghua and asked, "Brother Mu, don't misunderstand me, I came here to apologize to you."
Mu Jinghua tilted his head, pretending to be confused.
"I actually did what happened at the horse farm that day on purpose. I know I was a clumsy person, and I also know that using this method to coerce Xu Shu will definitely make him hate me even more."
"But... Mu Jinghua, I always wonder, are love and hate the same thing? If he is destined not to fall in love with me, if he can hate me..."
"What if he could hate me enough?"
When Qin Lianxi said this, his body trembled slightly, his eyes turned red, and he looked very crazy.
Mu Jinghua took half a step back and subconsciously wondered if he was crazy.
When he realized what he was thinking, he couldn't help but smile. What right did he have to call others crazy?
Qin Lianxi didn't notice the change in Mu Jinghua's expression. He just sighed: "But that day when he hugged you and refused to even look at me, I realized..."
"He doesn't take me seriously at all. Maybe in his heart, I am just Xiao Ran's husband."
Mu Jinghua nodded and reminded him: "You are indeed just Xiao Ran's husband."
Qin Lianxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I am really bad like this."
"I agreed to marry Xiao Ran just because he liked me. I said I would help support his brother's military pay at the border. But in fact, everyone knows that this is just a despicable trick I took to take advantage of him."
Seeing Mu Jinghua nod again, Qin Lianxi's expression became strange, as if crying and laughing, inexplicably.
But he soon adjusted his mood: "People always seem to be obsessed with things they can't get. I love the dead Ji Yan, and Xiao Ran loves the old me..."
"At that time, he always liked to tease me and lied to me that there were ghosts in the capital at night, and told me not to go out at night. He also said that if I was scared, I should shout Brother Xiao to the sky."
"But one night when I went out, before I could call Brother Xiao, I saw Ji Yan gesture to me from the beam, saying don't be afraid..."
"Did Xu Shu ever tell you this?"
"do not be afraid……"
"Good boy……"
"Qin Lianxi!"
Xiao Ran's voice suddenly came from behind the door. I heard the voice before I saw the person.
Mu Jinghua saw Qin Lianxi's body stiffen visibly, and then he saw Xiao Ran who was out of breath. Maybe it was because he had been running all the way, Xiao Ran's hair was crooked and his hair was stuck to his face by sweat.
Mu Jinghua had never seen Xiao Ran like this before, he looked so embarrassed.
He felt it was a pity that Qin Lianxi did not know how to cherish Xiao Ran, and also that he did not have the chance to kill Qin Lianxi.
He turned and left, leaving the space to Qin Lianxi and Xiao Ran.
Qin Lianxi was unyielding and shouted from behind: "Mu Jinghua, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Mu Jinghua waved at him and continued walking forward, leaving space for Xiao Ran.
Qin Lianxi struggled to chase Mu Jinghua, but after taking just one step, he felt a strong force holding him in place.
Qin Lianxi felt as if the world was turning upside down, and then he was on Xiao Ran's shoulders. Xiao Ran put one hand on his buttocks and the other hand on his back, and carried him up like a servant carrying rice.
Qin Lianxi tried to struggle for a while, and pounded Xiao Ran's chest without caring about his image: "Xiao Ran, let me go!"
Xiao Ran slapped him on the butt.
The sound was so loud that Qin Lianxi was unable to react for a moment and fell silent.
Xiao Ran didn't say anything either. He just silently carried him into the sedan chair and told the coachman to set off.
When he got into the sedan chair, Qin Lianxi calmed down a little. He wanted to ask Xiao Ran what he was doing, but when he saw Xiao Ran's cold profile, he suddenly didn't know what to do.
He turned his head to look out the window, and just as he lifted the curtain, he saw a carriage passing by the side. The person in the carriage also lifted the curtain and looked out, and happened to meet Qin Lianxi's eyes.
Qin Lianxi was so frightened that she screamed and fell backwards subconsciously, but her arms found nothing and her body tilted.
Just as he was about to fall, he was held by a cold hand. Then with great force, he crashed into Xiao Ran's arms. It was hard and painful.
Qin Lianxi couldn't help but groan, and was about to push Xiao Ran away, but Xiao Ran held her on his lap.
He had never done such an intimate thing with Xiao Ran before, and they even rarely rode in a sedan together.
It was not until now that Qin Lianxi felt something was wrong. Xiao Ran looked at him with a dull expression, which made him look very strange. He called out cautiously, "Xiao Ran?"
Xiao Ran leaned forward and bit his lips.
……
Before Mu Jinghua reached the inner courtyard, he heard Ah Xi's voice: "Young Master Mu, I brought the person back for you."
Mu Jinghua immediately turned around and walked over with a smile.
Caidie got off the sedan first. She was not wearing a veil, but she lowered her head and did not dare to let Mu Jinghua see the wound on her face. She only said in a hoarse voice, "Sir."
Mu Jinghua reached out and lifted her chin. Seeing the scar on her face, he frowned and asked, "Who treated your injury?"
Caidie didn't understand what he was saying, so she asked cautiously, "Sir?"
Mu Jinghua shook his head, looked at Du Wanbai who had a pale face, smiled at him lightly, and turned to go to the inner courtyard.
Caidie was a little confused, but Ah Xi reacted very quickly and said to them, "Follow us, just follow Young Master Mu."
Mu Jinghua arranged for Caidie to stay in a side room in Qi Huairen's courtyard, and asked Qu Xiu to help her treat her wounds.
Qu Xiu was very interested in things like scars. When he saw the scar on Caidie's face, he excitedly took out a lot of bottles and jars from the room.
Mu Jinghua had seen Qu Xiu's level. The wound on his eyelid at that time was cured by the medicine prepared by his senior brother. Now there is no visible scar at all.
He arranged Du Wanbai to live in a side room in the courtyard where he and Xu Shu lived. Du Wanbai was injured in the chest and lost a lot of blood at the time, so he is still drowsy and looks listless until now.
Even though he was so weak, he still sensed something was wrong, and asked Mu Jinghua with all his strength: "Brother Mu, you and Master Xu live in this courtyard together, right? If I'm here, will..."
disturb?
Of course I disturb you.
But he had already promised Xu Shu that he would do it himself, so how could he not keep it under his nose?
What's more, Du Wanbai will soon have no chance to disturb him.
Mu Jinghua smiled at him, signaling him not to worry, and wrote on the paper: "Xu Shu specifically told you to live with us yesterday. It will be quite noisy at Master's place, and it would be bad to disturb your rest."
Du Wanbai wanted to say something, but Mu Jinghua didn't want to listen anymore, so he turned around and left.
With a bang, the door closed.
