"By the way, Mu Zhou, I want to tell you something!" Jin Rong's expression suddenly became serious.
"What?"
"Do you remember Xiaoping?"
Xiao Muzhou was a little surprised, but he quickly realized, "How do you know her?"
"Xiaoping happened to be inside, and she told me that you helped her!"
"That's it," Xiao Muzhou frowned, "I saw Xiaoping's poor life so I decided to help her, but she has a strong self-esteem, so I let her come here to work!"
Jinrong nodded, this arrangement was the best, otherwise Xiaoping would only feel even more apologetic.
She repeated what Xiaoping said to Mu Zhou.
Jinrong saw that his face was getting more serious, so he asked with some uncertainty: "You don't think I'm meddling in other people's business, do you?"
"No!" Xiao Muzhou hurriedly denied.
"Then why do you have such an expression?"
"I suddenly remembered what my father told me, so I became a little distracted!" Xiao Muzhou randomly found an excuse.
"Is it important? Why don't you go and do your work first! You don't have to worry about me, I can just go back by myself. As for meeting Xiaoping, we can wait until you are free!" Jin Rong said considerately.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Seeing that Jin Rong refused to believe it, he added: "I really didn't lie to you. I have already taken care of the important things, and even if you ask me to go back now, that matter is not It can be done in a day or two!”
"Is it true?" Jinrong confirmed.
"I promise!"
"That's good!" She felt relieved.
"I'm sorry Jin Rong, there are some parts of what you just said that I didn't hear clearly, so can you repeat it again?" Xiao Muzhou said a little embarrassed.
Jin Rong nodded, "Without you, Xiaoping would most likely seek death. She really wants to express her gratitude in person, so Mu Zhou, can you go in with me to meet her?" Jin Rong requested in a particularly serious manner.
"no problem!"
"Thank you!"
"Thank you, this is not a big deal!"
"Mu Zhou, you are really better than I imagined!" Jin Rong suddenly sighed.
This is what she means.
Muzhou is a rare talent. He is knowledgeable, courageous, and courageous. But the most valuable thing is that even after entering officialdom for many years, Muzhou can still maintain a kind heart and treat others sincerely. If Rong and Yin can have more With officials like him, many things would not be as complicated as they are now!
But Jinrong knew that this was just a beautiful fantasy. The contradiction between Yin and Rong had become deeper and deeper. Even if he was as kind as Mu Zhou, he could not easily forgive Yin for everything he had done.
The time she spends with Mu Zhou will become less and less. Jin Rong really doesn't want to meet again after they break up. What awaits them is an irreversible situation of either you die or I live.
Now the person who can best prevent this kind of thing from happening is Brother Tianxing, but Brother Tianxing also has many difficulties. The emperor does not pay attention to him. Even if he wants to do more practical things that are truly beneficial to the peace and stability of the country, there is nothing he can do for a while. Overcome so many obstacles.
Jinrong couldn't help but feel sad.
Normally, Xiao Muzhou would have noticed that Jin Rong was in a bad mood, but now he didn't dare to look directly at Jin Rong because of guilt.
"Let's go in now." He turned away and said softly.
Jin Rong grabbed him and said, "Mu Zhou, there's something else I didn't tell you." Her voice became much softer unconsciously.
"What?"
"Well, I just told Xiaoping that we are very good friends. Don't let it slip later!"
This time Jin Rong did not dare to look into Xiao Muzhou's eyes.
"Why?" Xiao Muzhou asked gloomily.
Jinrong knew Muzhou, so she was sure that this time was different from the past, and Muzhou was really angry with her.
Seeing that Jinrong didn't answer, Xiao Muzhou asked with an extremely unhappy face: "Is it so embarrassing to tell Xiaoping that you are my wife?"
"Of course not," Jin Rong quickly denied, "Muzhou, don't get me wrong, I just don't want to deceive Xiaoping!"
Xiao Muzhou didn't understand what this meant, and he said with a stiff expression: "But you are my wife, and you really deceived her if you didn't tell her!"
"But we are just a fake couple for others to see!"
Xiao Muzhou was speechless for a moment.
Jin Rong was right, but his feelings for Jin Rong were no longer as innocent as they were at the beginning.
But he had no way to tell Jin Rong this.
"Are you really angry with me?" Jin Rong asked softly.
"No!"
"Then why are you depressed?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired!"
After saying that, Xiao Muzhou walked straight into the courtyard, while Jin Rong followed behind with some confusion.
She really couldn't understand why Mu Zhou was causing trouble again?
Jin Rong never thought that he could shake Mu Zhou's feelings, and Xiao Muzhou didn't intend to let Jin Rong know this.
He knew Jin Rong, so he was afraid that she would eventually choose to escape and alienate him.
Perhaps for them, staying the way they are now is the best choice!

"Xiao Ping, this is Mr. Xiao!" Jin Rong introduced.
Xiaoping immediately knelt down and was about to kowtow when Xiao Muzhou stopped her in time.
"You don't have to do this!"
Xiaoping shook her head vigorously, "You are my benefactor, I should kowtow to you to thank you!"
"I'm not helping you just so you can kowtow to me." Xiao Muzhou's tone became stern unconsciously.
Xiaoping tried hard to control the ups and downs in her heart, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, you have done nothing to repay my kindness Xiaoping. Don't worry, I will definitely try my best to return the money to you!"
"I said you don't need to pay back!" Xiao Muzhou replied in a deep voice.
He was getting more and more irritable when Jin Rong suddenly tugged on his sleeve, "I remembered that I still have some things to do. Mu Zhou, I'm going back first. You must remember to help me send Xiaoping home!" She didn't Forgot to tell me.
After saying that, she winked at Xiaoping again. Xiaoping naturally understood what she meant, and she bowed gratefully to Jinrong.
Xiaoping has a lot to say to Mu Zhou. If she were here, Xiaoping would probably not be able to let go. She finally met Mu Zhou, so how could Jin Rong bear to let her go away disappointed!
"I'll send you off!" Xiao Muzhou said hurriedly.
"No, I can just go back by myself!"
"Then I'll take you to the door." Xiao Muzhou said firmly and could not refuse.
Jin Rong nodded helplessly.
"Wait for me here first!" Xiao Muzhou ordered Xiaoping.
"good!"
"I'm leaving first, Xiaoping. We'll see you again when we have the chance!" Jin Rong took her hand and said reluctantly.
"Miss Xiaojin, thank you!"
"Thank you for what!"
Xiao Muzhou stopped after walking Jin Rong to the door. He said in an unhappy tone: "Why don't you let me take you home?"
"We see each other every day, but Xiaoping is different. She has a lot to tell you, so I shouldn't stay and disturb you!"
How could Xiao Muzhou not know what she was thinking? He wondered: "You and she just met, is it necessary to do these things for her?"
"You and Xiaoping have never met each other, but why are you willing to save her?" Jin Rong asked.
"This is different!"
"What's different? Logically speaking, you have done more for Xiaoping!"
Xiao Muzhou was speechless. He sighed and said, "Okay, no matter what, you are right in the end."
"Mu Zhou, what's wrong with you?" Jin Rong looked at him with worry.
Mu Zhou has never been so naughty as he is now, and he looks really abnormal at this moment.
"It's nothing, it's just that I have too many things to worry about recently, so I'm inevitably a little irritable!" Xiao Muzhou tried hard to hide his inner feelings.
Jin Rong did not suspect that he was deceiving her!
Mu Zhou was really tired, but she had no way to persuade him to put down those difficult things and stop paying attention to them.
Because this is Mu Zhou's pursuit, no matter how tired he is, he will never give up.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you with many things!" Jin Rong lowered his head and said in a low mood.
Her words made Xiao Muzhou feel relieved. "You have helped me a lot. Because of you, I don't have to worry about all the big and small things at home!" He smiled slightly and said, "Okay, go back quickly. , I think you definitely don’t want to keep Xiaoping waiting for me for too long!”
"Thank you, Mu Zhou!" Jin Rong said suddenly.
He gave herself so much warmth and comfort. Jinrong was grateful and cared about Muzhou from the bottom of his heart!
"Thank you!" Xiao Muzhou was still a little worried, so he changed his words and said, "Why don't you wait a little longer, I'll have the carriage take you back home directly in a while!"
"No, I just want to take a walk."
Xiao Muzhou couldn't defeat her, so he had to remind her tirelessly: "Then be careful on the road. Don't worry about anything when you get back. Go back to your room and have a good rest!"
"I know, Mu Zhou, don't forget to send Xiaoping home!"
"Do not worry!"
Jin Rong walked farther and farther, and after her figure completely disappeared, Xiao Muzhou slowly turned around.
"If you really want to chase me, you don't have to force yourself to stay here with me!" The person who suddenly appeared behind him said with sad eyes.
