Misleading the Fourth Miss of Xiangfu

Chapter 37

Feeling embarrassed, she winked at Qiao Ye, Qiao Ye nodded, then turned to Chu Mu and said, "Master, the chrysanthemums are blooming right now, why don't you go to No. [-]."

Chu Mu collected himself, changed his mind, and smiled at Qiao Ye: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Feeling relieved, Qiao Ye winked at her mischievously, and the two of them knew each other.

However, just after entering the No. [-] private room, Qiao Ye regretted——

It turned out that there was only a narrow river between No. [-] and No. [-]. Over there, sitting as always, was the Seventh Prince Chu Li, looking over with his purple pupils lightly.

Chu Mu also caught a glimpse of Chu Li at a glance, and there was a thorn in his words: "Who am I? It turns out to be His Royal Highness Li Wang. No wonder he is so arrogant, please don't leave."

There was no warmth in Chu Li's eyes when he looked over. He glanced at Qiao Ye lightly, continued to drink his tea, and ignored Chu Mu's ridicule as if he hadn't heard it.

Chu Mu simply sat down with his back to Chu Li, and did not intend to say a word to him.

Qiao Ye sat across from Chu Mu, and was able to see Chu Li just over his shoulder.Although she didn't know what the festival was between the two of them, what was certain was that there was absolutely no harmony.

Chu Mu has always liked to be aggressive, and Chu Li is not easy to provoke. She can't afford to provoke either of these two people.Qiao Ye took the tea from the girl, poured it for Chu Mu, took a cup herself, and drank silently with her head down.

The atmosphere is really awkward.

Qiao Ye cursed secretly in her heart, if the two of them had conflicts, they would go out and fight, how could they not die and let her be caught in the middle?

"Little guy," Chu Mu suddenly called her.

"Ah?" Qiao Ye was in a daze when she heard a blank answer.

"Oh, what are you in a daze for?" Chu Mu's amber peach blossom eyes smiled crookedly, and stretched out a snow-white chrysanthemum in front of her like a magic trick: "Come on, plug it in."

"Plug...Put it in?" Qiao Ye was so surprised that he almost knocked over the tea in his hand, and peeked at Chu Li's expression over Chu Mu's shoulder. Confused.Qiao Ye quickly withdrew her gaze, lowered her voice and said, "Little prince, a villain...it's not suitable for a villain to wear flowers."

Chu Mu stretched his hand over the stone table and pinched her face: "What are you thinking! This is the custom of Chudu. Regardless of men and women, Chongyang must plant dogwood to enjoy chrysanthemums. There is also a custom of wearing flowers. Planting dogwood to ward off evil spirits, wear Chrysanthemum longevity, come, put it on quickly." As she spoke, she couldn't help but insert the flowers on Qiao Ye's head.

"No..." Qiao Ye tilted her head, dodged it, and gritted her teeth: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, when the time comes. Little people don't believe this." There were so many chrysanthemums planted at home in the past, why didn't they keep Dad's life?Chrysanthemum longevity?Nonsense!
Chu Mu's hand stopped, and a moment of surprise flashed on his face, but it was only a moment, and he turned into a playful smile again: "Master, I want to see if you look good in wearing flowers! But you little guy has a way of talking It’s one set, there’s really nothing I can do about you. You don’t need to wear flowers, come, let’s eat chrysanthemum cake.” He took a piece of chrysanthemum cake with chopsticks and brought it to Qiao Ye’s mouth.

Qiao Ye quickly caught it with her hands in embarrassment, and then stole a look at Chu Li. Why is this damn Chu Mu talking so ambiguously?
Chu Li continued to drink tea expressionlessly, but his eyes became more and more persuasive.

Chu Mu raised his hand and waved in front of her eyes: "Eat as soon as you eat, why look around? He is so good-looking?"

Qiao Ye's head lowered lower and lower, biting the chrysanthemum cake bit by bit, "Master Chu Mu, please, can you speak less?"

"Ahem..." He ate in a hurry, a mouthful of pastry stuck in his throat, and he couldn't help coughing.

"Stupid!" Chu Mu stood up, walked over and patted her on the back, helping her to calm down: "Who snatched it from you? It's like fleeing from famine. The whole plate is yours. Didn't you eat in the morning? drink some water..."

Qiao Ye choked so much that tears were about to flow out, bah, you just escaped.

Chu Mu talked a lot by himself, Qiao Ye's throat was smooth, but her heart became more and more congested. She couldn't stay by this person's side for a minute!

"Are you ready?" Chu Mu asked with his head down, and seeing that she no longer coughed, he grabbed her hand and dragged her away from the seat: "Come on, go to a place with me, the feng shui here is not very good, what do you eat?" It's all off-putting, and it chokes you, little guy."

Knowing that he was talking about Chu Li, Qiao Ye could not help but twitch the corners of his mouth. What's wrong with them?Although Chu Mu has always been venomous, he has never been so dissatisfied with a person.However, leaving like this would be too disrespectful to Chu Li. He, Chu Mu, is the uncle, and Chu Li is also the uncle. She couldn't walk away so easily.

So she looked sideways at Chu Li and smiled awkwardly as a greeting.

Chu Li pursed his lips, drinking tea all the time, Zitong met her eyes, but moved away for a moment, and said unexpectedly: "Come here."

Chu Mu's steps stopped, but Qiao Ye didn't stop in time, and bumped into his back, causing her nose to hurt.

"Who is His Royal Highness Li Wang talking to?" Chu Mu didn't look back, but just sneered. Although the Qingyi Palace has no real power, it has the right not to obey any prince's summons. It is also helpless.

Chu Li didn't answer his words, took another sip of tea, and said, "I'm not very clear about the account that I said yesterday. Come here, and explain clearly why 'Zhu Guang Bao Qi' only accepts jadeite from Yuncheng, but not from Xiangzhou. Woolen cloth?"

Chu Mu couldn't understand what he meant, but he understood that the words were not addressed to him, but to Qiao Ye beside him.So, he turned around, his amber pupils deepened: "Are you familiar with him?"

Qiao Ye wanted to cry, but she was really aggrieved to be caught between these two men. Everyone has her tricks in their hands, and it's not good to offend anyone. She said with a dry smile: "Hehe, it's so-so. How is His Royal Highness Li Wang?" A noble status cannot be attained by villains."

"Oh? Can't climb high?" Chu Mu's pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes narrowed, "You mean, Xiao Wang's status is very low, so he hangs out with you all day?"

Bah, you said it yourself!It's not my business!Qiao Ye cursed in her heart, and lightly shook the hand held by him: "The villain definitely didn't mean that. The villain and you, the little prince, are...not very familiar." Now, you are not despicable. right?Are you satisfied?
Unexpectedly, Chu Mu was even more unhappy when he said this, the smile on Jun's face disappeared, and his thin lips pursed: "Follow me."

Chu Li had been drinking tea calmly, and at this moment he interjected: "Stay here." With his usual indifferent voice.

Small bridges with flowing water and the fragrance of chrysanthemums, the originally extremely harmonious atmosphere was smoky by the two men confronting each other across the river.

Qiao Ye couldn't cry, so she broke Chu Mu's big hand in embarrassment: "Little prince, don't be like this, talk about something. Don't be angry, don't be angry, your head should hurt again." Helpless, you can't earn it take off.

Hearing her concerned words, Chu Mu's expression softened a little, he looked down into her eyes, and repeated: "Follow me."

Qiao Ye frowned and glanced at Chu Li.

Chu Li looked at her indifferently, but Zitong had an irresistible order: "Stay here."

Qiao Ye didn't move.

Chu Mu clenched her wrist tightly, and took a breath: "Little guy, let me ask one last time, do you want to stay or go with me? Think it through before you decide." He raised his eyes and stared at Chu Mu Leave.

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Chu Li's mouth, and Zitong stared at the blue and white porcelain cup in his hand: "Yes, I will make a decision after thinking it over."

What Chu Mu said was nothing, he was always arrogant and domineering, and Qiao Ye was used to it, but when the same words came out of Chu Li's mouth, Qiao Ye couldn't help but shudder.She naturally knew what Chu Li meant. Her biggest grip was in his hands. If she dared not listen to him, once he turned his back on her and announced that she was a woman, all her plans would be destroyed. To soak up.

Since you can't have both the fish and the bear's paw, then we have to give up the fish and take the bear's paw.

After making up her mind, Qiao Ye smiled and said to Chu Mu: "My lord, I have something to discuss with His Royal Highness Li Wang, you... go back first."

Chu Mu's face was instantly livid, her amber pupils tightened suddenly, she let go of her wrist bit by bit, turned around, and strode away.

"Little prince!" Qiao Ye didn't expect him to have such a temper, and his usual playful smile turned out to be terrifying when he got angry.She called him, but his figure had disappeared.

A rare satisfied smile appeared on Chu Li's iceberg-like face. He raised his head to look at her, and raised the cup in his hand: "There is no more tea, go and refill it for me."

"Oh." Qiao Ye responded, turned around, let out a breath, and walked out of the No. [-] private room.

On September [-]th, the Double Ninth Festival, she was supposed to resign from the Qing Dynasty and admire the chrysanthemums. How could she be so unlucky to meet these two uncles who cannot be offended!The old fox said that wearing dogwood can ward off evil spirits, and she has a ready-made dogwood purse in her arms, so why can she still ward off evil spirits?

Qiao Ye made another cup of chrysanthemum tea for Chu Li, took it into the No. [-] private room, placed it in front of Chu Li, and stood aside to wait quietly.

Seeing her standing silently, Chu Li looked at the seat next to her with purple pupils, and motioned, "Sit down."

"Yes." Qiao Ye sat down, feeling unhappy and uneasy in her heart.Maybe as long as she can't get rid of her identity as the fourth lady of the Xiangguo Mansion, she won't feel at ease for a day.The house on the outskirts of the city has already been bought, so she should think about how to get out as soon as possible.

"Go to see him every day?" Chu Li asked suddenly.

"Ah?" Qiao Ye didn't hear clearly.

Chu Li blew on the chrysanthemum tea floating in the cup, raised his head, and looked at her with deep purple pupils: "Go to Qingyi Palace to see him every day?"

Qiao Ye nodded blankly: "Yes." After so many days, it's hard for her to persevere.But what did Chu Li ask this for?
"You're really patient." Chu Li groaned coldly and put down his cup, not knowing whether to praise her or ridicule her.
