idle mistress

Chapter 173 Sudden Temperament Change
Shen Qing was startled, she had a bad premonition in her heart, without thinking, she stepped forward and stopped Mu Xiu who was about to enter the yamen.

"Brother Mu, take a step to talk." When she said this, her whole face was cold and serious.

Seeing this, Mu Xiu's face became serious.

"Shen Qing, it's getting late, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious." While speaking, he reached out to pull her, but Shen Qing hid her.

Shen Qing looked at him and asked, "Do you think I can eat now?"

"Then, why don't we go have a cup of tea?"

Seeing Mu Xiu put his posture so low, the two little officials in front of the official gate could not help but look at Shen Qing curiously.

Mu Xiu didn't like this look, before Shen Qing could respond, he took her hand and led her into a tea house not far from the yamen.

The two entered a private room.

After the waiter brought the tea in, Shen Qing said coldly as soon as the door was closed:

"Brother Mu, didn't we agree that we only make money by treating patients and not dealing with government offices?"

From the tone of her voice, she knew she was angry.

Mu Xiu poured a glass of water, brought it to her and said, "Drink your saliva smoothly, listen to me, I did find a job in the yamen, but that was because I was forced to do so."

Shen Qing looked at him, and said after a while:
"He Yihang, when did you learn to open your eyes and talk nonsense? What are you talking about driving ducks to the shelves, what are you forcing to become an official, who are you coaxing, as long as you don't want to, the big deal is to pack your bags and leave like before, and the cows don't drink water , can you still press the bull's head low?"

Sometimes, she found a ruthless energy from this man, and it could even be said to be hostile. This was something that didn't exist in He Yihang before. At first, she thought it was just an illusion given to her by his strong figure. .

Until one time, she witnessed him push the beggar who was begging to him to the ground with a wave of his hand; another time, a dirt dog barked at her a few times, and he behind him became violent, stepped forward and kicked the little beggar. The belly of the thing was kicked.

Only then did she realize that everything was not her own illusion.

The He Yihang in his memory has always been very gentle, and he has always been polite in his dealings with people and things. Even if he is angry, he will never act so casually.

He said that he was enslaved outside the customs for a long time and suffered inhuman torture. Shen Qing guessed that maybe it was that experience that made his temperament change suddenly.

In addition, after coming to Cangcheng, she saw that he had always chosen to see a doctor for the rich, and ignored the poor, with a face of greed for money and power. She was really afraid that he would become another appearance than she knew.

After hearing her words, Mu Xiu fell silent!
It's not that he's greedy for power, it's just that after passing through Tong County, he knows that in this dynasty, money is useless, and only with supreme power can he not be passive, and will not live like a mouse crossing the street, running around and hiding in the east. Tibet days.

If I want to give her a stable life, I have to climb up step by step.

How did Shen Qing know what was going on in his mind? Seeing that Mu Xiu didn't speak, her tone softened, and she began to persuade:

"Brother Mu, you and I are people who have died once, and power is just a passing cloud, haven't you seen it clearly?"

"Also, we don't belong to this dynasty. The world is so chaotic. As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, shouldn't we stay away from wars and stay safe? Why do we have to go to this muddy water, you and me? The two of them traveled around the world together, seeing patients and admiring the natural scenery along the way, wouldn't they be at ease?"

After hearing this, Mu Xiu's eyes lit up slightly, he looked directly into her eyes, and asked, "Will you be with me?"

Shen Qing knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean that, I meant to be a companion, not a partner, you know it well, don't misinterpret my meaning, please."

After hearing this, Mu Xiu's eyes darkened again.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Shen Qing, I naturally have my reasons for doing this. I can't explain it to you now, but you will understand my intentions in the future."

Seeing that she had spent so much talking and the person in front of her was still determined to go her own way, Shen Qing couldn't help feeling disheartened. She lowered her head, took a sip of water silently, and stopped talking.

The two ate tea, checked out and left.

Mu Xiu wanted to send her back, but the yamen still had business to deal with, so he explained to her a few times, told her to be careful on the road, then turned and left...

He seemed to be in a real hurry, and his pace was a bit hasty.

Shen Qing followed behind, she walked slowly, and after a while, the two separated by nearly ten meters.

Walking to the door of the teahouse, she suddenly felt a burst of angina, and she squatted down in pain.

The waiter in the restaurant quickly noticed her strangeness, hurried to her, and asked with concern: "Girl, are you okay?"

When Mu Xiu in front heard this, he turned his head and saw her squatting on the ground with a painful expression on his face. He suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly turned around to help her up.

Seeing her pale face and dripping with cold sweat, he knew that her angina was attacking again, so he quickly took out a pill from the front of his shirt and asked the waiter for a glass of water for her to take.

When people calmed down, Mu Xiu could no longer take care of the official duties of the Yamen, so he hurriedly dispatched a carriage from the Yamen, and personally escorted her home.

Shen Qing's condition was so bad that she fell asleep on the bed when she returned to the house. Mu Xiu didn't dare to leave her alone, and kept guarding outside.

In the middle of the night, when she woke up, Mu Xiu hurried in when he heard the noise, and brought her water and traditional Chinese medicine.

Shen Qing obeyed obediently, thanked him, and lay down again. After a while, she fell into a drowsy sleep again, and slept until noon the next day.

When she awoke, she was in good spirits.

She got up and walked out the door, Muxiu heard her footsteps, turned around and looked at her and said, "You're awake, I cooked claypot porridge, do you want some?"

Shen Qing replied while walking: "I'll eat later, I slept without washing last night, and now my body is sticky, I want to take a bath first..."

"Then I'll go get you a bath..."

Seeing that his eyes were bloodshot, Shen Qing knew that the other party was taking care of her for not closing her eyes all night. She was moved and guilty, and said: "No need, Brother Mu, I feel much better, I can come by myself. You go into the room and go to sleep Let's go."

Mu Xiu looked at her for a while, and saw that her complexion had indeed improved a lot, so he let go and said, "Then, I'll squint my eyes, and if you need anything, call me."

"Success." She nodded.

Mu Xiu walked towards the east room, within two steps, he turned around and added: "The claypot porridge is still in the kitchen, remember to eat it while it's hot."

Shen Qing nodded again.

Seeing Mu Xiu dragging his tired steps into the house, Shen Qing fell into deep thought again.
