"What Biliuting? Mu Jingrui, are you illiterate?" Shangguan Wanning suddenly felt a sense of grievance surged into her heart, and the tip of her nose became sore.
Mu Jingrui was stunned.
After a long time, the location was wrong.
So, the killer he met at Biliuting that day had nothing to do with Shangguan Wanning?
At this time, looking at Shangguan Wanning's red eyes, Mu Jingrui's heart was so distressed that he twitched violently.
He held Shangguan Wanning into his arms, and no matter how hard she struggled, he didn't let go.
"Ning'er, can you tell me what you wrote in the letter?"
Shangguan Wanning heard this and her body stiffened again. "Didn't you see?"
"I don't have a chance to read it." Mu Jingrui really didn't know how to describe his current mood. "What you asked was not human. When the letter came to me, the handwriting was blurred."
Mu Jingrui briefly said the story, Shangguan Wanning leaned against his chest and couldn't help crying.
She clenched her fist and hit Mu Jingrui's chest hard.
"Do you know... I've hated you so much..."
Shangguan Wanning happened to hit Mu Jingrui's wound.
In order to relieve her, he endured the pain and said nothing, comforting: "It's my fault... Let's do this, I will definitely teach Xiaoyan a lesson after I go back."
Shangguan Wanning came out of Mu Jingrui's arms and looked up at him.
I cried a lot and felt much more comfortable.
She stretched out her hand and gently stroked Mu Jingrui's face, and asked with a sob: "Is your injury really okay?"
Mu Jingrui pondered for a while and said, "It was nothing serious, but the few times you hit me just now... the wound seemed to have cracked."
Shangguan Wanning was shocked and was at a loss.
"Really? Then why didn't you say it just now? Let me see..."
Mu Jingrui held Shangguan Wanning's hand, stretched his arm and hugged her into her arms again, raised the corners of his mouth, and asked softly: "Ning'er, can I... kiss you?"
A ripples appeared in Shangguan Wanning's heart, and her cheeks instantly flushed.
She remembered the promise that Mu Jingrui said last time he was rude to her.
He... actually remembers it.
Shangguan Wanning raised her eyes and looked at Mu Jingrui, slowly closing her eyes.
With her acquiescence, Mu Jingrui quickly kissed her lips.
It was like the thunder and earth fire that made the heat in Mu Jingrui's body burst out and it was out of control.
After a long time, he let go of Shangguan Wanning when he was at the limit of patience.
"Ning'er, how do I want to marry you?" Mu Jingrui endured it very hard. He originally thought that he could be worthy of her by making a name for himself, but who knows...
Shangguan Wanning sighed sadly.
"Jing Rui, I... have had too many things happening at home recently. If I asked my father about our marriage at this time, I would be afraid..."
Shangguan Wanning also knew that it was not so easy to untie my grandfather's knot.
"Can you give me some time?"
Mu Jingrui had no choice but to hold Shangguan Wanning's hand and sighed.
"Ning'er, I understand. In short, no matter what happens in the future, I will face it with you."
Shangguan Wanning felt relieved, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and stretched out her finger and poked Mu Jingrui's forehead.
"Wait for me, just wait alone; don't invite any lady from any family to wait together."
Mu Jingrui laughed, Shangguan Wanning looked so cute when she was jealous.
"How dare I? Others beat the most jealous jar, you... are jealous jars."
Shangguan Wanning pinched Mu Jingrui's waist. "Lutong should be back soon, you'd better leave quickly."
“Okay.”
Mu Jingrui kissed Shangguan Wanning's forehead lightly and got off the carriage.
However, he did not leave immediately, but hid in the dark to protect him until he saw Lutong and the coachman bringing the helper to pull the carriage out of the mud pit.
Mu Jingrui escorted Shangguan Wanning home and watched her enter the Prime Minister's Mansion with her own eyes before leaving with peace of mind.
After he got home, he took a shower and changed his clothes, and remedyed the wound. After doing everything, the rain outside the window had stopped.
"Dongdongdongdongdong."
The knock on the door recalled Mu Jingrui's thoughts. "Come in."
After a pause, the door was pushed open.
Mu Jingrui saw a girl wearing a blue gauze dress walking in.
Her long hair is as thick as her waist, her skin is as creamy as her skin, and there is a black mole on her left eyebrow, with a cold expression, and a faint murderous aura.
"You..." Mu Jingrui frowned slightly, "Are you the master of the Soul-Surfing Hall?"
Chu Xiaolian was stunned. She didn't expect Mu Jingrui to recognize her at a glance. This made her mind inexplicably surging.
"I... my name is Chu Xiaolian, I'm here to thank Lord Mu for saving his life."
Mu Jingrui didn't care, so he threw his robe on the chair and sat down, and said coldly: "As far as I know, the rules in your world, whoever sees the true face of the killer, then either you die or I die.
Today I am showing my true face...to kill me?"
Chu Xiaolian didn't expect Mu Jingrui to think so. She couldn't help but get angry and said coldly: "That's right, I want your life."
After saying that, he slapped Mu Jingrui's eyebrows with a palm.
Mu Jingrui did not hide or dodge, and looked at Chu Xiaolian with deep eyes.
Sure enough, Chu Xiaolian's palm was stopped when she was half an inch away from Mu Jingrui.
She looked at him in surprise. "Don't you fight back? Are you afraid that I will kill you?"
"Didn't you say thank you for saving my life?"
Chu Xiaolian was speechless for a moment.
"I received your thanks." Mu Jingrui slowly picked up the cup and drank tea. "If your injury is healed, you can leave at any time. I think I have never seen you."
Chu Xiaolian was a little confused about the man in front of her.
“No conditions?”
"No."
Chu Xiaolian seemed to be incredible, turned around and walked to the door, but turned around and looked at Mu Jingrui.
"I owe you a life. If you have any more use to get the Soul-Surveillance Hall, you can contact me at any time."
Mu Jingrui refused to comment and did not respond.
Chu Xiaolian had no choice but to leave silently.
In the evening, it started to rain heavily again, and the rain became heavier and heavier.
Shangguan Yue and his wife and daughter were accompanying Zheng Guoxun in the courtyard. The rain was too heavy and he could not go back, so he stayed to have dinner together.
"Sir Qi, news came from the palace that Liu Cairen hanged himself in the cold palace."
The butler of the Prime Minister's Office came to report the news in the rain.
Shangguan Wanning couldn't help but stop eating.
Isn’t Liu Cairen, who was the biological mother of Concubine Liu and Xiao Zhenting, the former biological mother of Concubine Liu?
"Why did she hang herself?"
Shangguan Wanning's question attracted his father's dissatisfaction.
She also knew that she shouldn't inquire at will, but she just couldn't help but be curious.
Moreover, she must always grasp any news about Xiao Zhenting, otherwise, who knows what trouble will that guy have?
"Probably, I'm forced to go to the forefront." The housekeeper replied.
