Mu Jingrui returned to the city and was drunk in Zuixian Tower.
When Mu Jingyan stood at him, he was half lying on the cold ground, with empty jars everywhere around him, and the smell of alcohol in the room made people frown.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Mu Jingyan hurriedly ran over and squatted down to help Mu Jingrui up.
Mu Jingrui impatiently shook Mu Jingyan's hand and groped to continue looking for wine.
"You go home with me."
Mu Jingyan was a little angry, but Mu Jingrui not only refused to listen, but also pushed her away heavily.
Seeing Mu Jingrui putting the wine bottle into his mouth again, Mu Jingyan was immediately angry and snatched the wine bottle and smashed it hard on the ground.
With a "clang", fragments splashed everywhere.
The air seemed to solidify at this moment.
"Mu Jingrui, are you still finished? Isn't Shangguan Wanning going to terminate the engagement with you? Is there no other woman in the world except her? She has betrayed you, but you still miss it.
If you don’t do your job properly, you will also ruin your own body. What do you want to do?”
Mu Jingrui looked at the ground blankly, and after a long time, he said Youyou: "I think she can come back."
Mu Jingyan was stunned.
In her memory, it seems that she has never seen her brother as fragile. Even if he was confiscated and exterminated, he was proud and never bowed to anyone.
But now...
His sadness and despair were so real.
"Brother..." Mu Jingyan felt very distressed. She took out a handkerchief and wiped Mu Jingrui's stains on his face and hands, and persuaded him, "Emotional matters cannot be forced. Don't think about her anymore, okay?
She won't be back."
Not...come back?
Mu Jingrui smiled bitterly and struggled to get up from the ground.
"Brother, where are you going?" Mu Jingyan hurriedly supported his brother who couldn't stand firmly.
"I'm going to find her..."
Mu Jingrui drank to drown his sorrows. Before drinking, he made up his mind that he would go to Shangguan Wanning.
He must make her apologize to him; she has no right to unilaterally terminate their engagement.
Now, Mu Jingrui was drunk, and his mind was full of going to Shangguan Wanning, and he could apologize to her.
As long as she is willing to return to him.
"elder brother……"
Mu Jingyan looked at Mu Jingrui who was about to walk forward, stomped his feet angrily, stepped forward and slapped him on the back of his neck.
Mu Jingrui's eyes turned dark and he fainted.
"Brother, don't blame me, I'm doing it for your own good."
Mu Jingyan ordered his followers to come in and carried Mu Jingrui home.
Mu Jingrui fell asleep for a day and night, and woke up at dusk.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he was particularly awake. He turned his head and saw the ray of rays of light outside the window, and closed his eyes in pain.
He lay motionless on the bed until the butler came in to check.
"Sir, how are you doing? Why don't you find a doctor to take a look for you?"
Mu Jingrui shook his head and saw what he looked like in the mirror when he sat up.
Oh!
He can't remember how long it took for him to be as haggard and embarrassed as he is now.
"Give me instructions and prepare hot water for me, and I want to take a shower and change my clothes."
Mu Jingrui felt that he needed some time to calm down.
The next morning, Shangguan Yue submitted a memorial to the emperor to retire and return home, which caused an uproar in the court.
The Prime Minister's sudden resignation is inevitable that there are many speculations.
In recent years, the emperor has been accustomed to Shangguan Yue to help him handle the government affairs, so he naturally refused to agree to his request. After he was kind to appease him, he retired from the court.
Mu Jingrui had an ominous premonition and immediately sent his subordinates to investigate the situation.
"Sir, this time, the Prime Minister seems to have a strong desire to resign. I heard from people outside that Lord Shangguan has begun to sell some properties in the capital and nearby."
A hint of surprise flashed in Mu Jingrui's eyes.
"Also, I heard that the Prime Minister sent the housekeeper back to his hometown and purchased land in his hometown. It seems that he really wants to retire and return home."
Mu Jingrui thought of Shangguan Wanning and him's firm attitude of breaking up the engagement, and suddenly realized that she really wanted to remove the grudge between him and the Zheng family.
"Can't it..."
Mu Jingrui began to think again. Perhaps the letter from Shangguan Wanning he received in prison was indeed from her sincerity.
However, she didn't know that she was used by Zheng Guoxun and his son again.
So, she suffered a lot of grievances?
Mu Jingrui's heart ached faintly.
He felt it was necessary to have a good talk with Shangguan Wanning.
"You can help me with something."
"Sir, please give me instructions."
Mu Jingrui said a few words in his follower's ear, and the follower took the order and left.
The rain finally stopped for several days. Shangguan Wanning stood in the yard breathing fresh air, and from time to time I would think of Mu Jingrui.
Being destined but not parted can only be a lifelong regret.
"Miss," the housekeeper walked over and said, "I asked for the price of the courtyard house in the north of the city yesterday. I made an appointment to meet today and pay the bank to sign a contract. However, the other party said he wanted to talk to you about the price again."
Shangguan Wanning was a little tired, but in order to handle these trivial matters as soon as possible, she had to agree.
"Okay, you can prepare a sedan chair for me."
Shangguan Wanning went back to the room and changed her clothes. When she came out, she saw Sun Jinyao standing by the flower bed.
"Brother Yao, are you looking for me?"
"I heard you are going out, so I'll accompany you."
"OK."
Shangguan Wanning did not refuse. With Sun Jinyao's company, she simply did not take a sedan chair. The two of them walked to the north of the city and chatted while walking.
Although there is no one living in the yard, it is cleaned regularly.
It is the season when chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and there is a gentle fragrance in the air.
Shangguan Wanning bent down and took a deep breath to smell the fragrance of chrysanthemums.
Sun Jinyao stood in a row, looking at her gorgeous face, and couldn't help but become a little confused.
If he could always be with her, would she be willing to be with him for the rest of her life?
A butterfly flew over and stopped on the petals with its wings flapping.
A smile appeared on Shangguan Wanning's mouth. She carefully stretched out her hand to grab the butterfly, but the butterfly noticed it in advance and flew away.
She was a little disappointed, and suddenly, a palm shook past her eyes. She looked up and saw Sun Jinyao's deep and smiling eyes.
"Do you want it?"
Shangguan Wanning smiled sweetly. "Did you catch it?"
"Give me your hand."
Shangguan Wanning hesitated a little and slowly reached out her hand.
Sun Jinyao held her hand and gently passed the butterfly to her.
Shangguan Wanning closed one eye and secretly looked at her palm. She spread it little by little, and the butterfly flapped its wings and flew up like before.
"If you like it, I can catch a lot of butterflies for you." Sun Jinyao looked at Shangguan Wanning's eyes, and there was a little more love.
