There is a cluster of roses in the yard, each blooming in the sunshine, tender white dotted with pink, and a single red flower blooming on the green branches. The red roses bloom enthusiastically, and the pink roses bloom innocently, just like the love affairs between men and women in the world, each has its own experiences. The difference is that when others look at it, they can only appreciate it, but they cannot truly appreciate the beauty in it.
Ning Chu didn't promise Yue Jiu anything. He just told him some daily trivial things in Wanhua Valley in the letter, asked him about his recent situation, and occasionally treated him like this. Some joy naturally showed from the words, called He must be careful about possible conspiracies in Hidden Valley.
This letter seems to be no different from the letters I received in the past. Before Yue Jiu, I lived in isolation in a thatched cottage. Although I no longer did tasks that were inferior to animals, the shackles in my heart were still there. I would always feel sad after reading the letter. He drank with his head closed and his eyes closed, feeling that the other party still didn't respond to his feelings.
But now that he's out of prison and looking at it again, isn't the emotion naturally revealed in this elegant and graceful text exactly the response he has always wanted?
It turns out that since the exchange of letters, it has already represented Ah Chu's response to his affection.
As soon as Yue Jiu thought of this, he turned around and said with a smile: "At this time, in this situation, you should drink to relax!"
Mu Qing frowned coldly and said, "Didn't Senior Sister say that you need to change your habit of drinking bad wine?"
The smile on Yuejiu's face froze, and Liu Weirui was also amused by Mu Qing's cold words, and said with a sweet smile: "Master Yuejiu, don't be frightened. We met Senior Sister Ning Chu once when we returned. None of this was mentioned.”
Liu Weirui spoke sincerely, glanced at Mu Qing, and then said: "Senior Sister Ning Chu is about to leave. After returning, I repeatedly told him to deliver the letter."
Yue Jiu smiled slightly, the sword was gone, but the sword born out of love in her heart became clearer and sharper.
Mu Qing said: "You are considered a dead person now. Have you decided where to go?"
Yue Jiu pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Senior Hu is right. With the current strength of the three of us, it is really difficult to compete with Hidden Valley, so I plan to leave the Mugina Dynasty for a while."
Mu Qing expressed his approval and asked, "Are you going to wait until the first level before coming back?"
After knowing that the first rank was no longer the highest peak of cultivation, the two of them had more urgent thoughts about being promoted to the first rank, and no longer regarded it as an unattainable goal that was extremely difficult and difficult to achieve.
Yue Jiu nodded, looked at Mu Qing and said with a smile: "You are in the dark and I am in the dark. Your pressure is much greater than mine, so be careful."
Mu Qing nodded, glanced at Liu Weirui, and said, "I have to go to Ten Thousand Flowers Valley this time, and I have to ask them about Senior Hu's hidden illness."
Xiaochan noticed the tired look on Liu Weirui's face, and before Mu Qing and the others could continue talking, she asked with a complaint in her voice: "I don't know how long the two young masters will have to chat. My lady has been running around all night, and she hasn't repaired it yet." Xi doesn’t have the energy like you.”
Liu Weirui shook her head and said, "Xiaochan, it's okay."
Mu Qing felt deeply apologetic, and along the way, it was actually Yin Gu's scheme against him that involved this beautiful girl. He looked at Liu Wei Rui and said, "Wei Rui, let's go back to Liu's house."
Liu Weirui really liked Mu Qing's quiet way of speaking, so she agreed with a smile.
There were also interrogations by armed sergeants at the city gate, but they were mainly targeted at those leaving the city.
Mu Qing and his party, except for Yue Jiu who had some disguise on his face, passed through the city gate openly and without any resistance.
Before the group of people had gone far, they met Li Si and the three Zhang brothers walking towards them.
When everyone's eyes met, their worries disappeared. Li Si was still waiting to say anything, but with the look in his sister Xiaochan's eyes, he knew that there were still too many people and didn't say anything.
Back at Liu's house, Liu Weirui left Xiaochan behind and asked her to arrange for Mu Qing and Yue Jiu to go to her father's study alone.
Speaking of which, she and her father Liu Chaoge had not seen each other for more than a month. After learning about Liu Zhaolang's malicious intentions and conspiracy, she was extremely worried about his comfort and wanted to fly back directly. But now that she was back home, she didn't know how to get there. Meet the father. Because just now Xiaochan whispered to her that her father Liu Chaoge called everyone on the trip to ask questions, and after going around, someone would always be mentioned.
The Zhang brothers originally planned to follow the young lady and return to Mrs. Lin to serve as servants, but they were temporarily stopped by Mu Qing.
Zhang Zizhen and his younger brother Zhang Zishan are very slow when it comes to matters between men and women, but along the way, especially from last night to today, they can still feel the difference between Miss Liu Weirui and Mu Qing. After Liu Chaoge's careful questioning just now, they all feel that they are different about Mu Qing. Qing, this stable new uncle, is waiting with a smile.
Zhang Zishan even walked up to Mu Qing with a vulgar look on his face and whispered: "Don't worry, it seems that you have a good impression of the Liu family's home team. We brothers all have good things to say about you. Remember to respect us both on your birthday tomorrow." cup."
Mu Qing was confused when he heard it, and he agreed: "Absolutely, I have something to ask the two eldest brothers."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Mu Qing asked: "Do you remember what happened at the Huanhuaxi Cottage earlier today?"
Zhang Zizhen asked in confusion: "What's wrong? My brothers did not enter the thatched cottage. They followed the lady's instructions and went directly to meet Yue Jiu and the others."
Mu Qing nodded to express his understanding, "What happened next?"
"Later?" Zhang Zishan continued: "We led the caravan to rest on the outskirts of the city, and then we came to the thatched cottage with Li Siyuejiu to find the lady. At that time, we heard from Xiaochan that you had been poisoned not long after you detoxified, and you were still resting."
Mu Qing saw that the two brothers were talking about insignificant things and never mentioned any news about the woman. He couldn't help but frown and said in a low voice: "These Xiaochan and the others have told me that I actually want to ask you. Do you know any news about Miss Ye?"
"Miss Ye?"
"Who is Miss Ye?"
Mu Qing replied in a deep voice: "That's the woman you saw outside the thatched cottage."
The two brothers Zhang Zizhen looked at each other, thought for a moment, and said, "I remember that someone from the Li family came at that time and said that a woman had taken the city lord's daughter away. Is she the Miss Ye you mentioned?"
"Oh?" Mu Qing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did they say where Miss Ye will go?"
"I really don't know about this. You can ask Mr. Liu in detail later."
The atmosphere in Liu Chaoge's study was a bit strange.
Liu Weirui called her father sincerely and let Ling Qingzhu pull her to sit next to her.
The silver frost on Liu Chaoge's temples became more prominent, and his normally majestic sword-shaped eyebrows became a little gentler because of the silver threads. He smiled and nodded and said, "Weirui, it's good to be back. I thought your I have to spend my birthday on the road.”
Liu Weirui raised her head, her eyes fell from the frost in the corner of her father's eyes to the white hair on both sides, and said softly: "I was delayed a little on the road this time."
Liu Chaoge's tone was full of pity and he said, "I shouldn't have let your girl run around like this."
"Ha." Ling Qingzhu understood that her granddaughter had a temperament that couldn't stay in a boudoir at the attic. She shook her head and chuckled, then squeezed Liu Weirui's hand, with a protective look in her eyes.
Liu Chaoge sighed, his eyes fell from Ling Qingzhu's movements back to Liu Weirui's face, and said, "Your grandma must have told you about the family affairs."
Liu Weirui's eyes moved slightly and she responded softly: "Yes."
Liu Chaoge turned around, walked slowly, and spoke slowly, "You probably didn't have any rest last night. Now is actually not the time to say this, but instead of saying it on your birthday tomorrow, why not say it now? .”
Liu Weirui guessed something. She really didn't have this intention now, and her tone was unusually calm, "Father, just say what you want to say."
"Tomorrow, on your birthday, I will confirm that the villain of the Liu family is your brother Liu Zhaoling."
"My father has the final say on this matter. I have no objection."
There was no change in his daughter's tone, not even a hint of sadness or complaint. Liu Chaoge paused, turned around, looked at Liu Weirui's face, and asked, "Don't you blame your father?"
Liu Weirui shook his head, and his voice came out like a gurgling stream, "There are still some regrets, but I will never blame my father."
She looked at her father, who was getting older and older, and said, "When I learned from my grandma that my father actually had his second uncle..., I knew that I couldn't become the head of the Liu family, and besides, I It's really a girl, not a boy."
Liu Chaoge sounded affirmative and said with a smile: "As my daughter, Liu Chaoge, you are much better than many of your peers."
"As for Liu Zhaolang, since he dares to do this, I naturally can't keep him."
At this point, Liu Chaoge squinted his eyes and his voice became extremely sharp, "I just want them to know that no one can bully my daughter."
Liu Chaoge picked up a thick stack of paper from the desk beside him, placed it gently on the coffee table next to Liu Weirui, and explained: "I have signed these contract division documents with the elders in the family a long time ago. Even if you can't be the head of the family, , this life will be rich and safe."
"Father." Liu Weirui raised his head, looked at Liu Chage and shook his head.
"How..." Liu Chaoge glanced at Ling Qingzhu, knowing that many unexpected changes had indeed taken place in this matter, and asked seriously: "Your grandmother told me that you are going to go to the Lin family in the West with her?"
Liu Weirui's voice was as thin as a mosquito fly. She said "hmm" and then raised her head and said, "But I have agreed with grandma that we will wait until dad recovers from his illness before going."
Ling Qingzhu blinked, and Liu Chaoge lowered his eyebrows and asked his mother-in-law with a smile: "Can mother-in-law give me and Wei Rui and my daughter some time alone?"
"Hey~" Ling Qingzhu sighed softly. It's really hard to tell Liu Chaoge's illness, but if he keeps hiding it and waits until Liu Weirui follows him to Lin's house in Xishang and only hears about it, I'm afraid it will only cause a knot in his heart. , which is not good for anyone.
Ling Qingzhu walked out of the study alone, and the study was quiet for a moment.
Liu Weirui lowered her jaw in confusion, wondering what her father would ask again.
Liu Chaoge saw his daughter still making mistakes and being cute like a child. He couldn't help but smile heartily and sighed: "Stand up and let dad take a good look at you. Wei Rui is a big girl now. She will be twenty-two years old tomorrow."
After Liu Weirui stood up, her forehead just touched Brother Liu Chao's chin. She raised her head and looked at the light green and white stubble on her father's chin. She couldn't help but whisper when she thought of how he liked to prick her face with those stubbles when she was a child. Sobbing, she threw herself into her father's arms.
The mountains and rivers are far away, the wanderer returns home, and his heart is full of sadness. The father's heart will always be the warmest and safest harbor for his daughter.
Liu Chaoge patted his daughter on the shoulder, wiped away the wet marks from the corners of her eyes with his fingers, and said with a brisk smile: "As long as it's okay, it's okay."
He put his hands on Liu Weirui's shoulders, looked at his daughter seriously, and sighed: "My daughter has really grown up, and is as beautiful as her mother."
The mist in Liu Weirui's eyes deepened. She grew up under her father's shoulders until she was twenty-two years old, and her father lost her mother forever. Has the loquat tree in that courtyard grown taller again?
Liu Chaoge coughed twice and said, "If your mother was still alive, I would definitely not interfere with some of my daughter's family sentiments..."
"Wei Rui, tell dad what is your relationship with that little boy named Mu Qing?"
