Black-bellied Xianggong: Cute wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 77
Mu Qinglian kept Shi Tianci's instructions in mind, and burst into tears: "Back then, my father also fell ill suddenly, and left within a few days...Third uncle, third uncle..."

Mu Changguang was crying until tears came down, so he hurriedly motioned to Mrs. Kang to comfort her, and said: "At the beginning, our family was poor, so your father got sick and didn't get well treated, so he left early. Now our family Although it is not rich, but the money to hire the doctor to see a doctor is still enough, don't worry, I will do my best to cure your third uncle's illness."

After saying that, he invited the doctor to get into the car, and together with Mr. Mu, they rushed to the countryside overnight.

After seeing off Mu Changguang and Mu Lao Si, Kang led Mu Qingwan and Mu Qinglian back, sighing to himself, "Okay, why did you suddenly get sick?"

Mu Qinglian cried again when she heard the words.

Although she acted very sad and her eyes were swollen, Mu Qingwan still felt that it was fake——Mu Qinglian was cold by nature, and her relationship with Mu Laosan was not to a certain degree of intimacy on weekdays, even if Mu Laosan The third disease is terminally ill, and her life will be lost, so why is she so sad?After all, he is just an uncle, not a real father.

Her heartbroken look didn't seem like she was worried about Mu Laosan, but rather like she had acted... If the drama was overdone, it would appear fake. Mu Qingwan glanced at Mu Qinglian again, and remained silent.

They broke up in front of the Xijiaoyuan gate and went back to their rooms. From beginning to end, Aunt Luo did not show her face, as if the life and death of Mu Laosan had nothing to do with her. It seemed that she had the same third room as Mu Qinglian For the sake of sowing dissension, they have already turned against each other.

Mu Qingwan returned to the West Chamber, sent Jinyu to sleep, and sat in front of the desk, thinking to herself—if Mu Qinglian was acting, then Mu Laosan was definitely pretending to be sick, so why did he pretend to be sick? Still pretending to be so critical?If it's just for a reason to fight the autumn wind, then it's not necessary to act the trick to such an extent. After all, it is still very difficult to pretend to be unconscious.

While thinking about it, she flipped through the timeline, but unfortunately, this incident did not happen in her previous life. It seems that her time travel was like that butterfly flapping its wings. There are some things that happened unconsciously. , has quietly changed, and what has changed is not just her fate.

what to do?Should I wait for Mu Laosan and the others to make a move, or plan ahead?How to prepare in advance?Mu Qingwan sat in front of the desk, resting her chin, looking at the night sky outside the window. In the sky, there was no moon, but the sky was full of stars. After looking at it for a long time, it seemed as if she wanted to suck people in.

A Western clock standing in the corner ticked, ticked, and turned around again without knowing it. Mu Qingwan still couldn't come up with an idea, but she was hungry.Although she is quite full from dinner, the supper actually has nothing to do with the quality of the dinner. Sometimes, it's just a... just a habit.

In order not to grow a fat belly prematurely, Mu Qingwan hasn't had supper for a long time since the food at home has improved, but the situation is different today, she has something on her mind and can't sleep, so she has to fill her stomach, otherwise much tough.

After thinking about it, she leaned out of the window, but it was a pity that the kitchen was completely dark. Obviously, since it was already late, the cooks all went back to rest.

what to do?Should I continue to be hungry, or come out with some snacks to satisfy my hunger?Mu Qingwan hesitated for a while, took the small oil lamp on the table, and walked towards the kitchen - she has a small problem, the more hungry she is, the more she wants to eat salty and hot things. Not good for filling your stomach when you are hungry.

There was still a big brass lock hanging on the kitchen door, but she was in front of the house now, so how could she not have the key to the kitchen, so it was a good thing to have power in her hands.Mu Qingwan looked at the door and smiled, took out the key, and used her free hand to open the copper lock.

But...huh?Her key hadn't been inserted into the lock yet, so why did the door open by itself? ?Did the cook forget to lock the door again?Mu Qingwan sent the oil lamp forward, lighting up the kitchen, but there was no one there, it seemed that the cook had indeed forgotten to lock the door, and she had to remind them tomorrow.She breathed a sigh of relief, went into the house and put the oil lamp, turned around and closed the door, and then went to the stove to see if there was any firewood. As for the ingredients and leftovers, there must be some, and the current cooks are very clear To her liking, there will be something to eat in the cupboard no matter the time of day.

I wonder if they secretly called her a foodie behind her back?As Mu Qingwan thought about it, she bent down and looked at the corner where the firewood was usually piled.Seeing this, she was startled. In a dark corner, there was a person sitting on the ground, with big eyes open, blinking at her.

Those eyes are very bright, they can almost surpass the stars in the sky, and... they look very familiar...

"Fool Nie!" Mu Qingwan was furious, "How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to come to my kitchen again? Don't you have ears? Say, what are you doing here?!"

"I'm hungry." Nie Tai'an, who was recognized, showed no panic, but just looked at Mu Qingwan eagerly, as if he was really begging for food.

Mu Qingwan didn't believe it, and was still angry: "My family pays you a lot of money, don't tell me you don't have money to eat!"

Nie Tai'an lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Hu Po said that all the money was spent on medicine, so I can only drink porridge every day..."

"Ah?" It turned out to be like this. How could she have forgotten that Nie Tai'an had a mother who was seriously ill in bed, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Mu's house to work. Feeling guilty, he softened his tone: "You can't eat enough, tell me directly, why do you have to sneak into our kitchen in the middle of the night? What if you get caught?"

Nie Tai'an lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "Humber won't let me talk..."

Is it because of self-esteem?It's normal, but this habit of sneaking into other people's kitchens really needs to be changed, but it's useless to tell him about it, let's find Amber tomorrow.Mu Qingwan shrugged helplessly, asked him to get up, and helped to light the fire, while she went to the cupboard, picked out braised pork, green vegetables and salted eggs, and cooked two bowls of braised pork noodles with delicious flavors.

She handed the big bowl to Nie Tai'an and said, "Eat it, I'll cook it if it's not enough."

Nie Tai'an happily took it and began to eat it.

He ate deliciously, but Mu Qingwan ate very slowly because she pretended to have something on her mind. Nie Tai'an ate a bowl full of noodles, but she still held most of the bowl.Nie Tai'an looked into her bowl and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Of course you are hungry, otherwise why did you come to the kitchen to cook noodles? Mu Qingwan sighed and asked him, "If a friend of yours is sick, but you suspect that he is pretending to be sick, what would you do?" The good thing about a fool is that although he is unlikely to give any constructive opinions, he can open his heart and tell his troubles and annoyances without any scruples.

She didn't expect Nie Tai'an to answer, but to her surprise, Nie Tai'an heard her question, but said without hesitation: "Are you pretending to be sick, and you will know if you go and have a look?" Looking at Mu Qingwan, she seemed to be wondering why she would ask such a simple question.

Go and have a look...Of course she knows that the best way to solve the problem is to go and have a look, but how to look?To visit a doctor in a serious manner?Even if Mu Laosan is pretending to be sick, but she is not a doctor, what clues can she see?

This kind of thing can only be seen quietly, secretly, which is very difficult, but she is not capable of it.

Hey, she doesn't have this ability, but Nie Tai'an does!Although he is a fool, he can't bear it, he has kung fu, and he has a servant who can remind him by the side!Mu Qingwan looked at Nie Tai'an's eyes, and they lit up with a whoosh.

Looking at Mu Qingwan's suddenly bright eyes, Nie Tai'an instinctively sensed the danger, stood up involuntarily, and took two steps back.

Mu Qingwan also stood up, approached two steps, and said excitedly: "Silly Nie, I didn't expect you to come tonight, but it's really the right time. I have something here that I want to ask you to do, but I guess I said Even if you don’t understand, why don’t you call Wan Ren over tomorrow and I’ll talk to him.”

This is not the first time she has entrusted Wanren with errands. Nie Tai'an didn't find it strange. He relaxed and said in surprise, "I'm right? Then I can come every day from now on?"

"Good idea!" Mu Qingwan was categorical, "Tomorrow, drop by and ask Amber to come too. I have something to ask her."

Nie Tai'an's handsome face immediately collapsed, which really made me feel pity.

Good-looking, but easy to confuse people's hearts!Mu Qingwan thought so angrily in her heart, but still couldn't help but take a second look, then turned around, walked towards the door, and said, "Wash the dishes."

As a fool, he naturally doesn't know how to wash dishes, not to mention that Nie Taian is a young master who stretches out his clothes and opens his mouth when he eats. He looked at the two pairs of dirty dishes on the edge of the stove, hesitated for a few seconds, In the end, he gave up and left.

Like a cat, he jumped over the wall of Mu's house with brisk steps, ran back to his own house, and collapsed on the bed with a sad face.Wan Ren was waiting for him in his room, seeing his appearance, he also became frowning: "Master, the jade pendant still hasn't been found?"

Nie Tai'an grabbed a pillow, covered his face, and lamented, "It's not just that the jade pendant was not found..."

Wan Ren's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but look out the door: "Why, young master, you were discovered by the third girl again?"

Before the words fell, Hu Po rushed in from the door, snatched the pillow covering Nie Tai'an's face, and said angrily: "Master, you went to their kitchen again?! Did the third girl find you again? She Did you ask you to bring a message again, telling me to go over tomorrow?!"

Seeing her angry, Wan Ren hurried over to smooth things over: "Yu Pei is still at their house, can the young master not go? He has gone, there must be a place to rest and hide, the kitchen is the most suitable."
