When Xu Lanqing arrived at Wu Mo's house, General Wu Mo came back from the court. She was dressed in Qingluan bird's court uniform. Her slightly thin body also gave her a somewhat majestic and domineering appearance.
Xu Lanqing was waiting at the door of her house. Wu Mo got off the sedan and saw this person from a distance. His first reaction was that his eyes were red, but he didn't dare to let others see it. He quickly took a few breaths and left with a serious look on his face.
passed.
"Why is Mr. Qing of the Xu family in such a good mood that he came to my house today? If he wants to thank me for what happened in the court today, then there is no need. I am just acting on a whim..."
"You lied."
Xu Lanqing was always aggrieved in front of Wu Mo, but this time, he boldly interrupted her and looked at Wu Mo with a pair of black eyes, which made Wu Mo feel sour in his heart for some reason.
Now she is at the door of the mansion. Her young and crazy attitude has brought a lot of troubles to Xu Lanqing, and her reputation is not very good. She doesn't want anyone to see the two of them having any contact, so as not to say anything bad about Xu Lanqing.
.
Then he said: "I have made an appointment with someone. If Master Qing comes to express his gratitude, I will accept this thank you. If I have the time, I might as well go back and comfort your little lady."
She probably didn't even notice that there was a hint of jealousy and sourness in her words.
Xu Lanqing frowned and looked at her. Thinking of the night she told him about her daughter's body, she felt inexplicably angry. The moment Wu Mo entered the threshold, he spoke coolly behind her.
"Your Majesty, don't you have time to chat with me?"
It's not that he doesn't have time, it's just that he doesn't want to. If he spends more than half a minute with Xu Lanqing, Wu Mo feels that he will cry uncontrollably.
She didn't even look back: "I have an appointment with you."
"I can wait!" Xu Lanqing's tone was very stubborn.
Wu Mo ignored him and went into the house by himself. However, after seeing Xu Lanqing waiting under the sun, he finally softened his heart and told Yan Jing the terms of service: "Please come in! Place him in the lobby, I will
Change your clothes and come out again."
Although Yan Jing served Wu Mo closely, he did not know Wu Mo's daughter's identity. He only thought that Wu Mo had unresolved feelings for Xu Lanqing, and felt that this was really bad for Wu Mo's reputation.
But he didn't dare to disobey and resist, so he could only go out and invite Xu Lanqing in, but he sternly ordered the people inside and outside the house that if Xu Lanqing came to the Fifth Prince's house to express his gratitude, anyone who made irresponsible remarks would be punished.
Whose skin did you steal?
Xu Lanqing was waiting for Wu Mo in the living room. After waiting for half a cup of tea, Wu Mo changed into a new set of clothes. She wore a refreshing sky blue robe, a soft scarf tied loosely at the end of her hair, and she had a pair of charming peach blossoms.
His eyes now held a touch of sadness, and his face showed a deliberate alienation.
"Yanjing, why don't you pour tea for Mr. Qing?"
Hearing this, Yan Jing hurriedly responded and went to make tea. Wu Mo and Xu Lanqing were left in the room for a while.
Wu Mo pretended to sit down relaxedly and said to Xu Lanqing: "I only have time to chat for a few words. I really have an appointment today. Just say what you want to say."
In her heart, she actually had some inexplicable expectations.
Her lips even recalled Xu Lanqing's drunken kiss that day.
What she felt in Xu Lanqing's eyes when he looked at her was not disgust or gratitude, but a different kind of emotion. She couldn't understand this emotion, but she could guess some of it.
The two sentences Xu Lanqing insisted on saying to her were probably not about his little wife, nor about anyone else, but only about him and her.
really.
Xu Lanqing spoke, with the same respectful and distant tone that he usually avoided her, with a bit of anger: "Why did you tell me that you are a girl and just keep it from me for the rest of your life? What do you mean?"
Wu Mo felt sad in his heart. Did he really not know what she wanted to do?
She just wanted to give him a handle, so that she could restrain herself from entangled with him in the future because of that handle.
"Why don't you answer?"
Xu Lanqing asked aggressively.
Wu Mo suffered from it and was speechless.
The annoyance in Xu Lanqing's eyes became even stronger: "You want me to regret it, so I will tell you that even if you are a girl, I will not like you."
Wu Mo's body suddenly froze, and he couldn't take a breath. He felt pain in his heart, almost as if his heart was pounding.
Her face turned pale, and it took her a long time to get up and smile: "I know, but I still thank you for coming to tell me this. Just rest assured, I have given up on you, and I will never bother you again."
Xu Lanqing didn't know what kind of madness she had gone. She clearly didn't think so in her heart, but she blurted out such bastard words.
During the days when she was gone, he missed her day and night.
As soon as he heard that she was coming back, he couldn't wait to see her.
But I don’t know why I said such hurtful words when I met her.
He was annoyed in his heart as to why she didn't tell him earlier that she was a beauty.
He was also annoyed that she had blocked his marriage time and time again, so why did she insist on making it happen this time?
She was even annoyed by what she just said, "I have an appointment with you."
Looking at her pale face, he wanted to say something. Yan Jing came in to deliver tea, and Wu Mo had already turned around and went to the back hall.
"Yanjing, let's see the guests off."
Xu Lanqing paused, looking at her back as she left sadly, she wanted to slap herself in the face, what was wrong with him.
Why do you have to say this to make her angry?
But now that the words were spoken, the Wumo people had gone far away, and Yan Jing was even more polite than seeing off guests. Xu Lanqing couldn't chase him in, so he had to leave in frustration.
Wu Mo cried loudly after returning to the house, her shoulders trembled as she cried, but she became clear after crying. That was fine. She was originally afraid that Xu Lanqing would know that Xu Lanqing had fallen in love with her after her daughter's death, so in her heart
I will definitely be entangled to death, not knowing how to let go of my relationship with Xu Lanqing in the future.
Now, all the things she had been struggling with were clearly presented before her eyes.
No matter who she is, she can't change Xu Lanqing's disgust for her. That disgust is deep in Yue Mo's bones.
She wanted to get drunk, but it was boring to drink alone, so she asked Yanjing to prepare a sedan and go to Anfu in the east of the city.

Wu Mo would definitely come looking for him after he came down from the mountain. This was not surprising. What was strange was that Wu Mo found him, but he didn’t say anything. He just asked someone to bring in wine, and then he went around and drank wine by himself, drinking to a great extent.
Su lay softly in An Chengshao's arms, wiping her eyes but still saying nothing.
An Chengshao was a boring gourd at first. Usually when he was with Wu Mo, he would mostly be joking around with Wu Mo. He was cool and cold.
Now Wu Mo only focused on drinking alone, and An Chengshao didn't answer any questions. There was even more silence between the two, with only the sound of the clinking of wine glasses remaining.
An Chengshao knew Wu Mo well enough. Who in the world could turn her into such a person except the Qing Ye of the Xu family.
He and Wu Mo had both fallen into the hands of the Xu family brothers and sisters. One was in agony when he asked for something but couldn't get it, and the other thought about it but didn't see it and became lovesick.
He was thinking about Xu Xiuyi and the identity between the two of them. He also felt a little emotional and drank a lot.
But when Wu Mo was drunk, she was still sober and asked Wu Mo again: "What happened?"
"Hehe, hehe!" Wu Mo smiled and cried, his smile uglier than his tears: "He came to see me today."
"I guess it's almost him. What did you say?"
An Chengshao felt pity for Wu Mo in his heart, and he also regarded Wu Mo as his best friend.
Wu Mo shook her head, just thinking of Xu Lanqing's words, her heart felt like it was broken. She might as well get drunk and die without thinking about anything.
"Don't ask. If you're a brother, just drink with me. Once you're drunk, you'll stop."
"If you drink like this, how can you go back soon?"
"If I can't go back, I'll spend the night at your place. I won't even think you will dislike me."
An Chengshao didn't care, thinking that Xu Lanqing must have said very unpleasant things to Wu Mo.
He gently stroked Wu Mo's back, and his tone was rare and gentle: "Be obedient, stop drinking. If you really feel uncomfortable, I will accompany you to watch a play. Today's song is Shi Xiangmei. Isn't it your favorite?"
Already."
Shi Xiangmei's play tells the story of a man and a woman who are childhood sweethearts getting married. The whole play is full of joy. Occasionally, there will be some big oolongs and claptrap. It is very joyful to watch. Wu Mo is often in a bad mood.
I am willing to watch this drama.
But today, she wasn't in a bad mood, her whole heart was crushed to pieces.
Xu Lanqing's words were so hurtful.
"If you want me to regret it, then I will tell you that even if you are a girl, I will not like you."
Haha, haha, it hurts, it hurts.
She clutched her chest, ignored An Chengshao's dissuasion, drank three more glasses of wine, and finally passed out drunk.
An Chengshao raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu Mo who was drunk in his arms. He sighed deeply and helped her onto the bed.
In this life, one cannot escape the word love.
I wonder if that's not the case with him.
He and Xu Xiuyi made an agreement that Xu Xiuyi would come to the store every day, and he would be satisfied even if he just took a look at her from a distance.
But he has walked back and forth in Baoning Hall more than a hundred times. Even the steamed bun vendors on both sides of the street recognize him and don't even ask him if he wants steamed buns when they see him passing by. Xu Xiuyi has never appeared again.
.
She didn't know what she was busy with. Missing her was growing like grass in her heart. Perhaps after drinking, the grass grew unscrupulously and almost swallowed him up.
Looking at the sky outside, which was getting dark, he suddenly couldn't sit still and turned around and walked out of the room.
*
Xu Xiuyi had a meal in the big house today and drank some wine during the dinner. Mrs. Su Li invited her to dinner. She originally thought that Mrs. Su Li's family had sent her some good things.
Su Li's natal family is quite wealthy, and Su Li is the eldest daughter, so she is even more favored. Although she is married, her natal family always takes care of her, and whenever there are delicious or rare items, some will be sent to her.
Ever since Xu Xiuyi arranged for Su Jinye to be on the counter, whenever Su Li had these rare objects or delicious food, she would count them in her share.
She went to the appointment, but before dinner, she was pulled into a corner by Mrs. Su Li. Only then did she find out in a speechless voice the purpose of Mrs. Su Li's invitation to her, or to beg her to persuade Su Jinye to accept her cousin Li Huanhuan.
Xu Xiuyi couldn't help but brush Su Li's face and throw away her sleeves. The meal in that room was already arranged, so she could only sit down first.
But there was no way she would agree to Su Li's guarantee of being a matchmaker, unless she was out of her mind.
While eating, Li Huanhuan looked shy and looked at Su Jinye from time to time. However, Su Jinye was not distracted, serving Su Li's dishes very thoughtfully and lovingly.
Su Jinye's attitude was so obvious. Although he was cowardly, he was not stupid. He had probably understood Su Li's thoughts a long time ago, but he couldn't blame Su Li, so in order to avoid Li Huanhuan, he gradually went home late.
At this moment, he also deliberately expressed his love for Mrs. Su Li in front of Li Huanhuan.
Li Huanhuan's eyes were full of envy and jealousy.
It's a pity that Mrs. Su Li saw envy but not jealousy.
"Huanhuan, bring some food to your brother-in-law. Your brother-in-law likes to be jealous the most."
She tried her best to get her together, but Xu Xiuyi felt that the meal was about watching Su Li push her husband away from a woman's arms, which was really boring and boring.
Li Huanhuan enthusiastically gave Su Jinye some vinegar fish. Su Jinye smiled politely and still didn't look at Li Huanhuan.
Su Li also found out that Su Jinye didn't like Li Huanhuan very much, so he moved Xu Xiuyi out: "Xiu Yi, my girl Huanhuan, what do you think?"
Xu Xiuyi almost choked on her mouthful of rice.
This Su Li Shi has really put a lot of thought into it.
If Xu Xiuyi said it was not very good, then she would be too arrogant because Li Huanhuan is still around.
If Xu Xiuyi said yes, it played into Su Li's hands. I think Su Li would definitely say next that Xiu Yi really likes our family Huan Huan, and Jin Ye Xiu Yi likes people who like him.
After all, Su Jinye admired Xu Xiuyi quite a bit, and even had some respect for him. Su Jinye usually didn't say bad things about Xu Xiuyi's good words.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Xu Xiuyi wanted to keep this matchmaker, Su Jinye would have to pretend to agree happily even if he was unhappy.
Maybe Xiu Yi is too nervous.
She saw through Su Li's thoughts and was in a dilemma, not knowing how to answer, so she suddenly covered her stomach: "Ouch, my stomach hurts."
This bloody trick is best used to escape through urine.
"It's so good. Why does my stomach hurt? Jinye, please take a look."
"No, no, no, I went out for a while. It was a bit hot in the afternoon and I ate a bowl of ice. I didn't expect that I would get retribution. I shouldn't be so cool. What kind of ice can I eat at this time? Jinyu, give me a handful, it hurts."
Xu Xiuyi used the most bloody tricks to cleverly evade the fists set by Zhisu Li, and then walked out of the courtyard door of the big house. When Jin Yu, the idiot, really thought that she had an upset stomach and was worried, she was already as if
He straightened his back like a normal person and let out a big breath.
"Grandma, you...grandma, you are lying to others."
Xu Xiuyi smiled sweetly: "If I don't leave, could it be that I and my sister-in-law really tricked my eldest brother? You also said that Li Huanhuan is extremely ugly. My eldest brother is also a talented person. If you want to take a concubine, you have to be in love with each other."
What kind of good marriage can come from such forceful pulling? If you don't do it in the future, it will be strange if the family is in a state of chaos. Let's go, I'll go back first. You stand here for a while, then go in and say that my stomach is really uncomfortable and I can't eat.
Yes, remember to apologize."
Jin Yu already had a dissatisfaction with Li Huanhuan in her heart, so naturally she didn't want this marriage to come true, so she sweetly smiled and responded slyly: "Well, grandma, when you go back, pay attention to the path under your feet. You even forgot to pick up a lantern when you came out."
"Don't worry, there is a moon."
Xu Xiuyi raised her head and pointed at the full moon in the sky. Little did the earth know that Li Huanhuan, who was chasing out with a lantern from behind the courtyard door, had a face that was now even pinker than the full moon.
