I promise

Chapter 659

Mu Yueting sat in the elegant small room, watching the little girl across from her feast.

In less than a moment, the plates in front of him were already three or four empty.Bitter cauliflower is still desperately stuffing sweet-scented osmanthus root powder buns and cherry crisps into her mouth, her satisfied expression seems to have captured the whole world, and amber luster flows in her eyes.

"Ah, it's so delicious!"

"This one is delicious too!"

"Fairy, don't you eat?"

Mu Yueting only saw bitter cauliflower once, and it was in Huairen Hall in Chuzhou. 【1】

At that time, the whole city rioted, Chang Qianfo lost his trace, and his life and death were unpredictable.All the women, children, old and weak in Huairen Hall were brought together to take refuge in the main hall, and everyone was anxious, rushing in and out like porridge.

Even at that time, the little girl was still well-groomed and behaved like a noble lady of a family.

Today's gobbled it up with no manners at all.Must be really hungry.

"How did you fall into the hands of the traffickers?" Mu Yueting asked softly, pouring a cup of tea for Kucaihua.

Mu Zijian was still sitting upright in the private seat by the window, looking sideways at the street scene downstairs, as if he was in deep thought.

The sunlight penetrating through the rhombic window panes hit the bridge of his nose, eroding it into a beautiful white edge, winding down, outlining a perfect profile.

Mei Yu's expression looked lonely.

Mu Yueting didn't know if he was really sad, or he was just pretending to be relaxed to numb himself.

Mu Zijian treated her very well, but she never understood him very well.

"Why are you alone, with that little girl with you?"

She asked seemingly casually, raising her hand to lift a strand of blue hair hanging down her cheek to hide the tension in her heart.

After entering Chuzhou, she was no longer the charming lady in her boudoir who didn't care about world affairs.

She knew that this little girl named Kucaihua had a very close relationship with Ming Gong, and she was always with a little girl named Mei Longxue, that girl was a celestial killer.

Mu Zijian also knew.

Mu Yueting raised her eyes slightly, and glanced at Mu Zijian, seeing that he didn't pay attention to the conversation here, she felt relieved.

"Hey, don't mention it." Ku Caihua took the teacup from Mu Yueting's hand, swallowed, her cheeks were still bulging, and said vaguely: "She said she came to see me, but she hasn't come yet. But I don't blame her—"

Kucaihua took another sip of water and spoke more clearly: "She let me go, her master doesn't know how to punish her."

The little girl sighed, obviously depressed: "I don't know how Ah Xue is doing now."

Mu Yueting frowned, not only because she was disappointed, but also because Mu Zijian was turning her head to look this way.

He seemed to be thinking elsewhere, but in fact he never relaxed his vigilance for a moment, trying to escape from him was as difficult as heaven.

"Minggong...why, arrest you?"

Mu Yueting tried his best not to let disappointment show in his tone.

The appearance of bitter cauliflower made her see hope, but because of what she said just now, this little hope is dissipating little by little.

Kucai was classified as hostile by Ming Palace, and Mei Longxue, the little girl who was most likely to be close to the core figures of Ming Palace and delivered the news to Jin Yanchen, might be difficult to get in touch with Kucaihua's tone.

"It's a long story." Kucaihua stuffed the last piece of cherry cake into her mouth: "I'll tell you slowly after I finish eating."

There are six dishes and three cups, and only half a dish of puff pastry salt beans is left.

The little girl probably couldn't eat anymore, so she stroked her belly, leaned back in the chair, burped loudly, and sighed contentedly: "It's been a long time since I've eaten so many delicious things. Go to the execution ground and behead, I also admit it."

There was an old-fashioned taste in his tone.

Mu Zijian smiled.

Mu Yueting also smiled slightly, she knew that she shouldn't be too sad at this moment.

So it was like the spring breeze blowing through thousands of trees, peaches and plums, and the morning glow and evening brocade dyed the sky. Even if there was a ray of melancholy between her brows that couldn't be wiped away, her face was still enough to turn all living beings upside down when she smiled.

Kucaihua on the opposite side was stunned, and murmured: "Magnolia and Baifang don't care about each other, it's true that you smile like a daughter..."

Mu Yueting had listened to the famous words a lot, but she just smiled lightly when she heard the words: "You little girl, have you read many poems and books?"

"Of course." Kucaihua raised her head with a proud expression on her face: "You don't know, the drifters in the capital are the most serious. They just came to find Guliang to sleep with, so they just pretended to listen. There are also two lines of poems to be recited in the melody, so that all the girls in Tianxiang Juli wake up and start reading poems. My mother said that her knowledge is much better than that of the false Taoist prince Taifu in the palace. "

This time it was Mu Yueting's turn to be dazed.

For a moment of silence in the room, Mu Yueting's cheeks burst into a blush, stained with soft white skin, like a glow reflecting a Chengtang.

Mu Zijian turned his head to relieve Mu Yueting's embarrassment: "You are Lan Huaqiao's daughter, Kucaihua?"

But Kucaihua stopped talking, lowered her head, and looked completely different from the beaming little girl just now.Tears fell like beads, hitting the lacquered tabletop, before one fell apart, another drop joined, and the table melted into a puddle of water stains.

"My mother...is dead." The little girl buried her head, shoulders from ear to ear, choked up and said, "I was cheated to death by Tan Zhou."

Mu Zijian knew about this.

Ever since Tan Zhou entered Chuzhou, he had trapped Lan Huaqiao by his side, looking for and missing her every day.Even after hiding in the dark basement of Weizang Winery, I didn't forget to bring Lan Huaqiao with me.

But when he came out, there was only one person.

An extremely selfish and crazy person like Tan Zhou, since he has the determination to die, will not allow the people around him to live alone.

Mu Yueting didn't know the reason, but she kindly didn't ask any questions.

"Elder Xu... asked the girl to keep me in order to use me as a hostage and let my mother do things for them. Axue and Axue were also sent by them to monitor me... If my mother is dead, they will kill me... ..."

Kucaihua lay on the table and burst into tears: "I killed Axue. She saved me. Elder Xu won't let her go—wow!"

Mu Yueting's eyes were red.

In ancient times, sad people were afraid of seeing others cry.

Maybe Mei Longxue was really dead, but she might still be alive.And if Mu Cangping were to find Jin Yanchen, there would really be no room for change.Father has something to do, and there is never something he can't do.

She had dreamed of him for many years, thought of him for many years, and thought about him for many days and nights, but in the end she was still powerless to save him.

Mu Zijian glanced at Mu Yueting.

On the jade face, a little tear slipped quietly, but she didn't know it.

Mu Zijian couldn't bear it.His younger sister was not very strong-tempered, but when he brought her back, she even threatened to die in order to resist.

She really loves Jin Yanchen.There is no Alren who doesn't love Jin Yanchen.

But why didn't she understand, Jin Yanchen was no longer the Chang'an boy he used to be.He is an unscrupulous wolf with no friendship but hatred.

If she sent herself in front of Jin Yanchen at this time, it would be like giving him a bargaining chip, a sharp weapon against Mu Cangping.

There was a strict order when Mu Cangping left, he must set off at dawn today, and bring Mu Yueting back to Luoyang at full speed.Being disturbed by Mu Lan and delaying the itinerary, Mu Lan will certainly be severely punished, but he cannot escape joint and several responsibilities

Mu Zijian thought quite lonely, if they really fell into Jin Yanchen's hands, on the battlefield, would his father spare the enemy for him and his sister... He was not sure, not sure.
