When Mu Qing woke up, his arms were still spread out to both sides, but there was no one around him.
He tilted his head and did not open his eyes immediately. Murong Jing and the others seemed to be outside the house. The voices of their conversation were as soft as the wind, and the specific content could not be heard clearly. Mu Qing did not concentrate his ears to destroy the lazy feeling of relaxation at this moment. He was satisfied. The ground let out a sigh.
Mu Qing couldn't remember exactly when he fell asleep last night. He only remembered that he said a lot about himself, about them, and about the future, and they seemed to have responded to his agreement, so he just Falling asleep in a state of contentment and longing.
The door opened with a creak, and Mu Qing raised her neck to look at the door. The early morning light was particularly charming. Murong Jing and Liu Weirui stood hand in hand by the door, with a slight smile on their faces: "Are you awake? "
They seemed to be still washing up, with a few wet hairs on their temples sticking to their faces, and small crystal water droplets hanging on their hair trembling gently. The morning sun came from behind them and passed through their faces, making them feel like they were already there. The fair and beautiful face is a little more holy.
Mu Qing closed his eyes and opened them immediately. After making sure that this scene was deeply engraved in his mind and that this was not a dream, he looked at them steadily and smiled: "Yeah."
Murong Jing's eyes moved and she roughly guessed the reason for Mu Qing's appearance. She glared at him and tucked the hair on her face behind her ears.
Liu Weirui said with a smile: "Sister Murong and I are going to fix each other's hair. You slept last night...well, how did you rest?"
When Mu Qing saw Murong Jing pinch Liu Weirui lightly, he suddenly felt interesting. Maybe they had just discussed it and agreed on the same tone, saying that the two of them rested in another room last night?
But what happened to his sore arms?
Mu Qing stood up, stretched out his aching arms, patted his arms gently, and said, "Last night was the best sleep I've had in years. I really hope it can be like this every day in the future."
Mu Qing actually had some faint regrets in his heart. His spirit was so tense these days that once he relaxed, he became the first to fall asleep among the three last night.
The conscience of heaven and earth, except for maybe a little bit of movement when hugging them at the beginning, and then just hugging each other to sleep, well, that's not right, Mu Qing can't guarantee whether the two women did anything to him after he fell asleep... …
"What’s wrong with you?"
Murong Jing walked into the room and frowned at Mu Qing who suddenly started to giggle.
Mu Qing looked at Murong Jing's strange eyes and said quickly: "Oh, it's nothing. I just had a cramp."
"Huh? Do you also have cramps on your face?" Liu Weirui said and put her hand on Mu Qing's face, "Let me take a look."
Mu Qing quickly took two steps back in embarrassment, then looked at Liu Weirui, and found that Liu Weirui also had an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling.
Obviously, there is some kind of strange feeling between men and women.
This feeling of you knowing and I knowing but not telling anyone is a very good experience for Mu Qing.
Murong Jing frowned as Mu Qing and Liu Weirui looked at each other, twitching the corners of their mouth, and said feebly: "Your aunt has already been here."
"Oh, ah?" Mu Qing looked away, her heart tightening, "When?"
Murong Jing curled her lips and said in a low voice: "A quarter of an hour ago, and...and I always feel that she must have been here last night."
Speaking of this matter, Liu Weirui's crystal earlobes turned red quickly. She said to Mu Qing with a serious face: "Sister Murong and I rested in another room last night. You were tired, so I gave this room to you. , if they want to ask, can you just say this?"
Mu Qing looked at the two serious-looking women and suddenly understood that even if he had a substantial relationship with Murong Jing and fell in love with Liu Weirui, it would still take a long time to expose this relationship to the sun directly. .
Not only their own acceptance level, but also those closest to them like Ruhuai Fenghua.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Seeing Mu Qing's sudden silence and the two women looking at each other, Liu Weirui hesitated and said: "If you want..."
Mu Qing grabbed Liu Weirui's hand, shook his head and said, "That's it."
"That……"
"You should consider it."
Mu Qing sighed softly, looked into the eyes of the two women and said, "We need to gain everyone's acceptance bit by bit, and we can start with my aunt."
"And this shouldn't be something you have to bear. Since it is what I, Mu Qing, want to do, then you should let me take the lead. Just trust me."
Murong Jing looked at Mu Qing with deep eyes. The man in front of her had indeed grown a lot. She nodded imperceptibly, "Do you still remember what you promised us last night?"
Mu Qing smiled slightly: "Of course I remember."
Murong Jing glanced at Liu Wei Rui, who nodded gently. Murong Jing said with a solemn expression: "As long as you do what you promised us, we won't care what others say."
Mu Qing was stunned at first, and then showed ecstasy: "You, you agreed?"
Last night, Mu Qing took advantage of the atmosphere and said the agreement smoothly, but it was Murong Jing's and the others' business to agree or not.
Mu Qing originally thought that this would need to be proven by his future actions, but he did not expect to get a clear answer at this moment.
"ah--"
"Put me down quickly!"
Mu Qing picked up the two girls and spun them around excitedly.
After placing them on the ground, Mu Qing was still thinking about how to express his determination, but in the end he smiled lightly: "The luckiest thing in my life is to meet you."
Outside the small courtyard, Huaifenghua raised her hand to push the door open, but put it down again. She turned around and looked at Liu Yueshan beside her and the large group of people following not far behind, and the corner of her mouth twitched.
"Madam, what's wrong with you? Didn't we see them just now?"
Liu Yueshan looked at Huaifenghua with a puzzled expression, and for a moment she thought she was back to last night.
Huaifenghua closed her eyes, took a deep breath and then said slowly: "It's okay, it's just that we have some minor hearing problems these days."
She had clearly confirmed that the two women had already started washing up, so why did it start again?
At this moment, Huaifenghua wished that there was a volcano like the inner city under her feet. It would be better to erupt directly and take her away than to stay here and be embarrassed.
Seeing Wang Yeqing and the others getting closer and closer, Huaifenghua gritted her teeth and pushed open the courtyard door with all her strength.
The movement at the entrance of the courtyard clearly alerted the three people in the room.
Mu Qing put on her outer robe and walked out of the room. Murong Jing and Liu Weirui also followed Mu Qing with embarrassed looks on their faces.
Huaifenghua stood at the door of the courtyard, watching the three people walking out of the same room with calm eyes. When she saw Mu Qing still putting on her outer robe, the corners of her eyes twitched, and she saw Murong Jing and Liu Weirui's hair with light rain on their temples. He no longer struggled, just looked up at the sky.
…
"Auntie, why are you here again?"
The atmosphere in the courtyard was a bit strange. Mu Qing glanced at it. Not to mention Huai Fenghua and Liu Yueshan, it seemed that everyone who was supposed to be reunited last night appeared in this small courtyard.
Huaifenghua glanced at the three of them expressionlessly and replied: "When I left just now, they were already washing up. Everyone was very concerned about the situation here, so they came together."
Mu Qing's eyes moved among the crowd behind Huaifenghua, and landed on the pretty figure that was faintly separated from the crowd.
Zhang Shaoyao had the same expressionless face as her master, but her clean and beautiful eyes would fall on the hair of Murong Jing and Liu Weirui from time to time.
Mu Qing lamented in his heart. Just now, he was discussing with the two women in the room to slowly let everyone accept it. What should he do now?
Huaifenghua looked at Mu Qing standing there like a fool, looked at Murong Jing with a sullen face, and asked proactively: "Why is your hair so messy?"
The corners of Murong Jing's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at Huaifenghua with confusion.
She was about the same age as Huaifenghua, but because of Mu Qing, she now really felt the so-called inquiries from her elders in front of Huaifenghua.
Which one prefers to die or not is still a question where too much talk is likely to be wrong.
This made Murong Jing have to suspect that Huai Fenghua was repaying an old grudge between the two of them.
The two women looked at each other like this, and the atmosphere seemed to be getting anxious in an instant.
"Hey, aunt, where did you think you were?"
Mu Qing showed a wry smile as he suddenly reacted. He looked at everyone, raised the things in his hands, and said with regret: "They did just wash up, but I just woke up. After seeing them, I I kept pestering them to comb their hair, but the more I combed it, the more messy it became.”
"Really?" Huaifenghua knew that at this time, she should give Mu Qing and the others a step to expose the matter directly, but she couldn't control the strong curiosity in her heart, so she regretted it as soon as she said it.
Mu Qing rolled his eyes, looked at Huaifenghua helplessly and asked: "Then what do you think of us? One of them has just recovered, and the other hasn't had much rest. Although I can't help, I still think I can Give a little bit of your heart.”
Mu Qing said so much, but only one sentence was false.
Although he had a comb in his hand, he had not yet had time to comb the hair of the two girls. Their hair was so messy because he picked them up and messed it up for them.
However, what he said was sincere, so everyone in the hospital believed Mu Qing's explanation.
Even Zhang Shaoyao, who was standing aside, relaxed a little from his tight face, because Mu Qing had never made any mistakes when combing her buns before.
Although the people who came here were all women, Mu Qing still returned the wooden comb to Murong Jing and let the two women go back to the house temporarily.
However, the two women were probably being stared at by so many people, and they just wanted to quickly escape this embarrassing atmosphere, so they rushed directly into the room just now.
This scene made Huaifenghua's eyes twitch. She subconsciously looked to both sides and found that everyone had calm faces and seemed to have no worries. Only then did she really feel relieved.
"Tell me, how is she doing?" Huaifenghua glared at Mu Qing.
Seeing everyone looking at her with concern, Mu Qing said with a smile: "She is recovering very well. The bottle of witch essence and blood that Wei Rui brought has been of great help. In two or three days, she will be able to return to her normal state." Strength."
Mu Qing did not say that Murong Jing still had a major hidden danger that would last for three years. Everyone was relieved when they heard the news.
Wang Yeqing said with a relaxed expression: "I originally thought I would have to recuperate for at least a few months, but I didn't expect that I would be able to recover in two or three days. This is really a happy event."
Mu Qing nodded and looked at the women in the courtyard. These people already knew that he would leave soon, "I have already told Xiaojing that after I leave, if there is some solution to the problem in the City Lord's Mansion, If you can't solve anything, you can ask her for help."
Wang Yeqing nodded: "An extraordinary master can intimidate those in the city without taking any action. As for... people with the Gu family's strength, I think they will not easily offend Suzaku City again in the future."
After Wang Yeqing said this, he glanced at Mu Qing apologetically.
Because for the future stability of Suzaku City, some of the relationship between Mu Qing and the Lin family in Xishan has been revealed from her and Chen Zhuo.
Mu Qing waved her hands and said with a smile: "Mrs. Wang, you don't have to be like this. I have known about this for a long time, and Wei Rui doesn't mind."
Wang Yeqing said: "Don't worry, we will not reveal your relationship with Miss Liu. After all, it is a kind of protection for everyone to keep people with ulterior motives from the outside guessing."
Mu Qing frowned slightly. Wang Yeqing was indeed very experienced in doing things. He was originally thinking about how to limit the extent of the information being revealed, but Wang Yeqing had already thought about it for him.
Mu Qing thanked Wang Ye Qing sincerely: "Some things have been put on track, and some things have not started yet. If the stability of Suzaku City cannot be separated from the City Lord's Mansion, then the City Lord's Mansion cannot be separated from you, madam."
Wang Yeqing shook his head and smiled: "Do you think too highly of me? I am not an all-powerful person, and I also have my own shortcomings."
Mu Qing thought of the scene where he was able to face those businessmen yesterday, and shook his head: "There is indeed no one in this world who can do everything, but with your ability, it is more than enough to manage a city lord's mansion. The specific suggestions you gave yesterday , which obviously made those businessmen very tempted."
"If you want to talk about this, then I would like to recommend someone to you." Wang Yeqing's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.
Mu Qing was a little curious, his eyes swept over the girls, and asked: "Who is it? Is he here now?"
"Of course." Wang Yeqing looked at Huaifenghua and said with a smile: "Yue Shan is not only a first-class weaver and cook, her knowledge of business operations really surprised me. If I could only be your housekeeper at home, It’s a real talent bender.”
"Sister Yueshan?" Mu Qing remembered that Wang Yeqing had always been very optimistic about Liu Yueshan. He looked at Liu Yueshan with some guilt and said, "Sister Yueshan, in fact, she said it was home at first, but in the end she never went back. , not to mention your feelings..."
Liu Yueshan looked at Mu Qing with gentle eyes, shook his head and said: "Don't forget that there are Wu Ling and Wu Qing at home. I usually teach them how to read and write. In fact, it is an easy life that I never dared to imagine."
Mu Qing thought of Liu Yueshan's suffering, and his original intention of persuading Liu Yueshan to go to the City Lord's Mansion to help suddenly disappeared. He smiled heartily and said in a serious tone: "Since Sister Yueshan likes this kind of life, she will always be like this." ”
Unexpectedly, Liu Yueshan shook her head again and said her plan: "If you don't leave Suzaku City, brother, I think it will be fine to cook for you and take care of the house, but you have to leave temporarily. How could I stay at home again? Everyone is working hard for a stable life. As long as I am useful, I will do my best."
This probably means that I am for everyone and everyone is for me.
Mu Qing sighed suddenly in his heart, looked at Wang Yeqing, and said his thoughts: "Those people in the city may still be thinking about some high positions in the city lord's palace. Since Cao Jin will take away one of the deputy city lords, I hope you, Mrs. Wang, can be the other one." Deputy City Lord, exercise my rights as City Lord."
Wang Yeqing frowned slightly. She raised her eyes to look at Mu Qing, then looked around at the people around her, and finally nodded helplessly and agreed: "Okay. But I have to tell you in advance. I might directly accept this deputy city lord. Give it to someone else.”
Mu Qing smiled: "How can I be dissatisfied with someone who can get your approval?"
Wang Yeqing took a deep look at Mu Qing and sighed softly: "Do you want to leave so soon? Everything seems to be rushed. Although I had guessed it, I didn't expect that you would just leave here. Proposed."
"Of course, there will be a formal occasion for appointing you as the deputy city lord. After the drug dealer vacates a place as the temporary city lord's palace, I will invite everyone who was present yesterday to witness it."
Wang Yeqing shook his head indifferently, "You know that's not what I want to know. Seriously, is there anything we can do to help you?"
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment before he understood what Wang Yeqing wanted to help. He blinked and said with a smile, "You are already helping me."
