"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Men have things to do, so we will just chat and not do anything else." Mrs. Fujiwara saw Mu Fu's actions, covering her mouth and laughing.
"Look what Mrs. Fujiwara said, I'm mainly worried that Cai'er can't find me." Mu Fu put away his worries and walked in the direction of Mrs. Fujiwara alone.
Outside, Cai'er and Dongzi didn't stare for a while, then they realized that the lady was missing.
Liu Limao was still talking to others in the hall, but Mu Fu couldn't find him no matter how hard he looked.
"Mrs. Fujiwara and Mrs. Iwai are also missing." Zhang Dong discovered this and immediately thought of negotiating a solution with Cai'er.
"I'm afraid I was left alone to talk to you." Cai'er thought for a moment and said, "Madam, you don't have to worry about Mrs. Iwai, but Mrs. Fujiwara is the wife of Fujiwara Nojiro. This Japanese has a lot of evil intentions, and I'm afraid that she may be cheating Mrs.
I didn’t notice it and jumped right in.”
"In this case, we need to find talents as soon as possible." Zhang Dong said hurriedly: "Go and look at the rooms arranged for the women's rest. There should be a lot of people guarding the door. I'll go check out the process of today's dance.
There is no excuse to interrupt Brother Li and the others' conversation and report this matter."
"That's fine."
The two acted separately, and the music at the scene became intense.
In the room, Mrs. Fujiwara was looking for topics, chatting with them.
Mu Fu understood that this was to make her relax her guard.
Unfortunately, because she had been behind enemy lines for a long time, she had developed a state of constant alert, so their little tricks could not be hidden from her.
"Mrs. Liu, you and your husband have been chatting for so long just now. Did you ask where this dress was sewn? I really like it."
"That's not true. We miss each other so much after not seeing each other for a day. How can I remember what you just said." Mu Fu's face was filled with spring and a slight smile.
Suddenly the conversation changed, and her face darkened for a moment: "Speaking of this, I still want to settle the matter of your husband finding an extramarital affair for my husband. Help me ask, when will you
When Mr. Jia is free, the Mu family invites him to get together."
"Ah - this -" Mrs. Fujiwara smiled sarcastically: "This is all men's business. Why should we get involved in this? We can just talk about some topics that women are interested in."
"But finding an outhouse for my husband is the topic that interests me the most." She put on a smile again, as if she was not the one who raised the question just now.
"Or you can go out now and ask Mr. Fujiwara to come here and explain the whole matter clearly, otherwise it will be difficult for me to continue talking to you."
Mrs. Iwai, who was sitting aside, hurriedly smoothed things over: "Today's pastries are good, and it's not where Director Fujiwara purchased them. Madam, please go out and greet the guests quickly, so as not to run out of some ingredients."
"Okay." Mrs. Fujiwara stood up and took this opportunity to say goodbye.
Mu Fu originally thought of taking advantage of the moment when Fujiwara left to leave the room together.
She then thought about it again and realized that Mrs. Iwai in front of her was just assigned by Eiichi Iwai to test whether Liu Limao was really used by the Japanese.
All he had to do now was to keep telling the lie he had told before, so Mu Fu gave up the plan.
It happened that the moment Mrs. Fujiwara went out, she was spotted by Cai'er who was hiding in the corner.
Why didn't Madam take the opportunity to come out? She stamped her feet and hurried to the first floor towards Dongzi who was beside Liu Limao.
Mr. Iwai saw the commotion here and couldn't help but come to his rescue: Mr. Liu's tutor was strict, so he had to excuse himself to ask what happened.
At this time, Liu Limao pretended to see the two of them: "What happened? Isn't the dance a fun time?"
"Sir, my wife is missing. We searched all the way but found no trace of her, and we don't know where she went to have fun." Zhang Dong replied.
Now they can't blatantly say that Mr. Iwai's wife has trapped his wife in the room. There are many high-ranking Japanese officials present, so they can't make any mistakes.
"So that's what happened." Iwai said with a smile: "My wife and she were chatting very interestingly, so I guess they were hiding in a corner chatting."
He couldn't help but shake his head when he said this: "You take your wife too seriously, are you afraid that she will run away?"
"Sir, you don't know. My wife used to have many suitors. What's more, Mr. Asano, who was kicked out of the mansion before, also expressed his love for her, so I took a closer look." Liu Limao held the wine glass with a smile on his face.
He turned to Zhang Dong and yelled: "Why don't you go find her quickly? What's wrong with Madam? I'll see if I don't break your legs."
"Yes." Zhang Dong and Cai'er left here.
Speaking of Asano, Cai'er thought of the woman hiding in the corner on the other side.
She once heard Zhang Dong say that Asano seemed to have a wife.
According to Asano's nature, if he wants to enter the Iwai Mansion now, he has to curry favor with his superiors.
But now that he was lying on the bed recovering from the wounds on his bones, the only person he wanted to fawn over was his wife when she went out to do business.
I hope I’m not overthinking it…
The rooms on the second floor were all arranged by Mr. Fujiwara for the female family members. The only troubling point was that Zhang Dong could not enter.
He could only stand at the top of the stairs and watch the people coming and going, checking whether any suspicious persons were coming or going.
Cai'er took a gun from his hand: "When necessary, you have to use weapons."
"But if we use weapons, will our identities be exposed even more?"
"Then it's only a last resort. We can't alert the snake. The only hope now is that Madam will not fall into their trap."
Zhang Dong paused and continued: "You have to be careful, we all have to be careful."
"I know."
In the room, Mu Fu smiled faintly at Mrs. Iwai and said, "What story do you want to hear today?"
"I don't want to listen to stories today, let's just enjoy this quiet time."
Mrs. Iwai was dressed in a kimono and spoke softly: "The cakes today are really good."
"Did my husband do something to make Mr. Iwai suspicious?" She revealed the inner thoughts of the kimono woman opposite: "Although the entire country of China is resisting you with all its strength, I think Mr. Iwai should be able to do the same for his loyalty.
You can see it, otherwise Mr. Iwai would not have entrusted him with such an important matter."
"Since you said so, I will express my doubts. Your husband has been in charge of the Qingxiang Regiment for several months, but he has not carried out a single round of encirclement and suppression of the local anti-Japanese armed forces. Why is this?"
"Why didn't Mr. Iwai ask him yourself instead of asking you to ask me?" Mu Fu's expression remained unchanged, but what he was thinking about was that the thing he was worried about before had come true.
"Oh, let's not get too involved in their men's affairs." Mrs. Iwai still liked this strange woman in Shanghai's medical community in front of her, so she changed the subject and continued: "We don't understand men's affairs either.
I'm afraid there are some things that only they can know the correct answer by doing it themselves. I hope that no matter how the identities of both parties change in the future, the two of us can talk about everything like we do now, okay?"
Why, you just poked it out yourself, and then came to punish you?
She couldn't help snoring in her heart, but still had a faint smile on her face: "Okay, but if this is really my husband's problem, I'm afraid we won't be able to chat like we do now."
Mu Fu let out a long sigh: "If my husband does anything to disgrace Mr. Iwai, I'm afraid you will have to go to prison to see me."
She checked the time in the room: "It's getting late, I'm afraid Mr. Iwai is coming to find you. I should also walk around and think about the lecture notes for the students tomorrow."
"That's fine."
The two stood up and walked to the door.
The person guarding outside opened the door, and Cai'er in the corner was secretly happy.
When she saw Mu Fu walking out, Cai'er shouted in surprise: "Madam."
"Mr. asked you to come to me?"
"Yes, the dancing process is about to begin. The teacher said that you held it in for too long after returning to China and wanted to have some fun with you." Cai'er immediately nodded knowingly.
"Yes, it is indeed the dance scene now. Let's all go over. I haven't seen you dance, madam. I can see you later." Iwai still looked like he wouldn't let go, holding Mu Fu's arm.
She is a little helpless, isn't it because she didn't get what she wanted to hear from herself? Now that she is concerned about herself, do she still want to wait until she has a flaw?
The group of people walked to the stairwell and bumped into Zhang Dong again.
Mrs. Iwai cast an envious look: "Your husband looks after you very closely. It's not like the outside world says that he is a henpecked person."
"If you want to give my husband a foreign wife, then he should naturally be henpecked. As for other responsibilities, he has to take on the responsibilities he can bear." Cai'er couldn't help but interjected: "Madam, I haven't talked like this with anyone for a long time.
I'm happy, I hope Mrs. Iwai will come to visit my wife to play with me. On weekdays, apart from tinkering with medical skills and medicinal materials, we don't have much other fun."
"Okay, since you said it, it means that Mrs. Liu invited me. When I am free, I will come and bother you."
Several people walked to the entrance of the lobby dance floor. Mrs. Iwai let go of Mu Fu, bowed and walked in the direction of Mr. Iwai.
Liu Limao saw the movement here, said goodbye to the people he was chatting with, and walked towards this side.
At this time, a master of ceremonies came onto the stage and announced the start of the dance.
Liu Limao directly led Mu Fu to the dance floor. As the music played, some voices were drowned in it.
"Are you okay? Are they talking again?"
"I don't want to do some twists and turns with them today, just expose it directly and get the information I want."
"The Qingxiang Regiment's encirclement and suppression of the anti-Japanese armed forces?"
"Oh, you actually guessed it." Mu Fu looked at him in surprise: "Did you guys talk about these things just now?"
Liu Limao nodded. Iwai's hint today was so obvious that it was not difficult to guess.
