Chapter 67
Lihuaxi.

Someone knocked on the door and came in with freshly cooked porridge, "Madam, I made porridge for you, drink some, and then take the medicine."

The domestic helper put the porridge on the table and stepped back. The bowl of porridge was steaming hot, and a fragrance permeated it, but it didn't arouse her appetite at all.

"Put it there, I'll eat it later."

"Madam, let's eat it while it's hot. It's uncomfortable to eat it when it gets cold." The domestic helper stood in front of the bowl of porridge persistently, as if he wanted to watch Mu Li drink the porridge while it was hot.

Mu Li likes to be clean, and doesn't like to be accompanied by others, let alone strangers, so he had to follow the wishes of his domestic servants and drink the porridge as soon as possible.

After drinking the porridge, the domestic servant brought another cup of hot water, and just now she left with an empty bowl, and when she reached the door, she remembered something again, and said to Mu Li: "Ma'am, there was a man named Teacher Shu this morning. I called you, and the young master was there at the time, so I asked me to call myself a servant of the Mu family to connect."

"I told her you were sick and couldn't go to work. Now that you're awake and feeling better, see if you want to call her back."

"Okay, thank you for reminding me." Mu Li nodded his thanks, and the domestic servant finally left.

She knew that Shu Wan was calling, and the first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to check her phone, and she saw Shu Wan's received call in the call log, so she wanted to go downstairs to find out, but she didn't know that she heard their conversation as soon as she arrived at the entrance .

Now that she knew that it was a fake Mu family servant who answered the call, she was relieved.

It just occurred to him in a flash, what if Shu Wan went to Mu's house?Although I haven't had much contact with Shu Wan, I know that Shu Wan is a person who pays attention to every detail, regardless of whether she has any doubts, because of the relationship between superiors and subordinates, she may go there.

Mu Li got up immediately, took a coat and put it on, picked up the key and ran downstairs quickly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the villa, he was jogging on the bluestone road in the courtyard, when he saw Ling Shu pushing Lin Jinqian towards him.

Murray couldn't help but stop.

The morning sun has risen and hangs high in the sky. Wisps of golden light penetrate the mist and dispel the cold air. The dew in the courtyard is deep, and the humidity is vaguely lingering in the air, soaking the hair and clothes.

Lin Jinqian was sitting in a wheelchair, with the small-leaf red sandalwood beads still wrapped around his right hand, and Ling Shu pushed him past Mu Li indifferently.

Ling Shu, a lady from all walks of life, greeted her with soft eyes.

Mu Li pursed his lips, turned sideways and finally said: "I will go home for a few days, thank you for your care."

The wheelchair stopped, and almost at the same time Mu Li turned and walked forward. Lin Jinqian independently controlled the wheelchair, turned around, and stared sideways at the receding figure.

So thin, slender, but warm, revealing a weak but not negligible power to warm people's hearts.

She just went back, how to deal with it at Mu's house?

"Luo He." Seeing Luo He standing at the door from the corner of the eye, Lin Jinqian called out.

"Big boy."

"She is still sick, you follow and give her a thicker dress."

"Yes." Luo He replied, and went back to the villa to pick up the clothes and the medicine that had been left on the table.

Ling Shu observed the scene in the courtyard without making a sound. From Lin Jinqian's words and deeds, she felt that he was unusual for Mu Li, but she couldn't tell what was unusual.

Lin Jinqian has always had a cold face and a warm heart, and he treats everyone like this, and it was because of this that she was attracted to him in the first place.

It's just... His eyes, the eyes that watched that figure leave, were indifferent and impermanent, but they contained breathtaking power, hidden deep in the dark.

Ling Shu unconsciously clenched the hand pushing the wheelchair, and instantly remembered Tao Shiyi's words in Qingluan Mountain, could she really be right?

"Jinqian, there is something I've always wanted to tell you."

A gentle female voice floated over, interrupting Lin Jinqian's drifting thoughts. He belatedly closed his eyes, "Go into the room and talk."

"Is it okay to say it here? There are many people in the room." Maybe today, it's time to figure it out, instead of blindly playing a gentle role.

"Then say it here." Lin Jinqian didn't refuse. Originally, he deliberately leaked the news of his illness this morning just to lure Ling Shu over, so he used her completely from his own point of view.

Ling Shu turned around, facing the faint morning light, squinted her eyes slightly, and said, "On the day of Grandpa Lin's birthday party, he mentioned the marriage of the two families to me in private. I don't know what you mean, so I just listened. no respond."

"What did the old man say?"

"Grandpa means, I want you and me to get married a year ago, which is appropriate for both families."

"Actually, the old man chatted with me before there, but everything went smoothly at that time. Now that the Lin family is involved in a mysterious case, and grandpa is not in Rongcheng to relax, I'm afraid this matter will have to be shelved for a while."

As the breeze blew past, Ling Shu let out a deep breath, nodded and said softly: "I think so too, the matter right now is important."

She turned around and put her hands on the wheelchair, "It's windy, I'll accompany you into the house."

"Okay." Lin Jinqian responded, stroking the prayer beads wrapped around the wrist of his right hand with the fingers of his left hand.

……

"Dingling..." The doorbell rang again and again, but no one came to open the door. Shu Wan stood in front of Mu's house with his hands on the doorbell, ready to press it again, and finally saw someone come out.

"Hello, who are you?" The domestic helper opened a small door, leaned out, and asked cautiously.

Shu Wan smiled politely, and still showed the proof of Baigu's studio. Facing an extremely guarded person, explaining the origin of her identity was the best way to dispel her doubts.

"I'm Shu Wan, a consultant at Baigu Studio."

Instead, the domestic servant looked at her more vigilantly, "What's the matter with you?"

"I'm here to see your young lady, Mu Li. I'm her colleague. I heard that she was ill, so I came here to see her."

"Are you coming to see Second Miss? Unfortunately, Second Miss has gone out."

"out?"

"Ah."

"Isn't she sick? Where else is she going?"

"I don't know that."

Shu Wan nodded suspiciously, and hurriedly took out the fruit basket bought on the way from the car, and handed it to the domestic helper, "Please give this to your second lady."

"That's... good."

Shu Wan smiled again, got in the car and left, she didn't bother to explain to the domestic helper such as "tell her about her visit", the domestic helper knew at a glance that it was better to do less than to do more.

But where will Murray go?During the phone call in the morning, the domestic helper said that she had a persistent high fever and was unconscious. Why did she let her out so quickly?Is it really not favored, not taken seriously?
Shu Wan drove the car suspiciously, turned right at the intersection, and followed the direction of Baigu Studio, but at this turn, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a car turning in the opposite direction from her in the rearview mirror. The way of the Mu family.

That car was exactly what Murray had driven before.

She has come back?Shu Wan didn't think too much, turned around quickly, turned left and followed the car.

At this moment, Luo He, who was following behind, saw the car parked in Lihuaxi chasing Mu Li, so he couldn't help slowing down.

Mu Li drove the car smoothly into the gate of Mu's house, the iron gate closed, her figure was cut off, Shu Wan parked the car on the side of the road, and for some reason, did not continue to follow.

When I got back to Mu's house, the first thing I did was to check with the domestic helper whether someone had been there just now. Sure enough, the domestic helper gave her a fruit basket and confirmed that it was Shu Wan.

"What did you say?"

"I followed the second lady's instructions and told her that I didn't know where you went."

That's good... Mu Li breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she called back in advance to explain something, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, "You go to work, take these fruits and eat them."

"Okay, thank you Second Miss."

The tense nerves all the way were finally relaxed. Mu Li sat down on the sofa, her head was still dull and painful. She closed her eyes and rubbed the acupuncture points on both sides, taking this opportunity to rest for a while.

"Who am I? I came back in such a hurry. It turned out to be Mrs. Lin who was abandoned by the Lin family." A faint female voice floated from a high place, and it sounded familiar. Even with his eyes closed, Mu Li could guess that it was his sister whom he hadn't seen for many years. , Mu Qi.

The crisp sound of high heels stepping on the ground became louder and louder as Mu Qi approached, her voice was as proud as before.

"The Lin family is about to marry the Ling family. Why don't you go to Lihuaxi to guard your husband, and still have time to run here? Look at your pale face, you must have been kicked out, right?"

Mu Li closed her eyes and rested. She was already sick and weak, and this hurried trip was exhausting, and she didn't have the energy to make trouble with Mu Qi.

"Deaf? Or dumb? I'm talking to you!" Mu Qi was dissatisfied with her silence, her voice suddenly increased, and she kicked Mu Li's calf.

The pain in his bones made Mu Li open his eyes instantly.

Mu Qi's body shook, and she took two steps back uncontrollably. Those deep eyes jumped out of her pale face, and she was actually frightened.

Mu Li stood up and said coldly, "Go away, I don't have time to fight with you."

After that, he went to the direction of her room.

But Mu Qi is unforgiving, she rushed forward to block her way, glaring at her, "You are very annoying! It seems that you have grown a lot in the past five years. But let me tell you, in The Mu family, I am the only Miss Mu!"

Mu Li glanced at her, walked around her and continued walking.

Unexpectedly, Mu Qi still refused to give up and stretched out her foot to stop her. Mu Li was tripped by this and fell straight to the ground.

"Want to fight with me? Hmph, I don't even weigh myself." With a proud hum, Mu Qi was finally satisfied, and walked out shaking her head.

Mu Li sat on the ground, the coldness of the floor penetrated into her skin through the fabric of her clothes. She turned her face and watched Mu Qi walking away proudly in her high heels, feeling a fire in her heart.

Suddenly, she got up, picked up a pot of cold water that was always on the table, and threw it at Mu Qi's steps.

"Kang Dang" a broken sound, accompanied by Mu Qi's scream, resounded throughout the building.

"What are you doing?" Mu Qi looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, stared and yelled at Mu Li in disbelief.

Mu Li stood up straight, his eyes turned cold, "Let you know, you should call me sister."

"You? Huh!" Mu Qi stepped over the fragments and walked over, "Don't think that if father needs you, you can go to the house to Jiewa!"

"I don't think so, but you all have to rely on me to live a stable life, I advise you to be more polite to me!"
