Chapter 262 Backstab
Chapter 262 Backstab
Caught off guard by his smile, Xu Shu's heart moved and he suddenly wanted to kiss him.
But now is not the time. Xu Shu glanced at the increasingly red light not far away, pulled Mu Jinghua deeper into the garden, and asked, "Why did you come to the Mu Mansion?"
Speaking of this, Mu Jinghua felt wronged and hurriedly complained to Xu Shu: "Qiao Jianhong, that pervert, wanted me to sleep in the same room with him."
"What?" Xu Shu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized something was wrong. "So you don't live in the side hall of the Qiao Mansion?"
Mu Jinghua blinked his eyes, and seeing Xu Shu's serious expression, he didn't care about being wronged anymore: "It's the main room in the inner hall, I'm sure."
Xu Shu sneered: "I almost got tricked."
I just don't know whether the letter was intercepted by Qiao Jianhong, or whether Qiao Wan and Qiao Jianhong worked together to deceive him.
"Qiao Wan can't be trusted for now." Xu Shu warned Mu Jinghua, "Don't tell her you saw me tonight."
Mu Jinghua nodded and reached out to Xu Shu for a hug.
Xu Shu's heart softened, he took him into his arms, kissed his forehead, and asked, "Why did you come to the Mu Mansion?"
"I'm in a bad mood, so I came out for a walk." Mu Jinghua also asked, "What about you?"
"I just have a tacit understanding with you." Xu Shu teased him with a smile, "Do you like the flower tea?"
Mu Jinghua cried out, and then he understood: "It was you who asked the servant..."
"After becoming the prime minister, Mu Tonghai also became an old scholar. He likes to drink bitter tea the most. You definitely don't like it." Xu Shu pulled him away. "What did you plan to say to Mu Tonghai?"
"I didn't plan to say anything." Mu Jinghua said, "I just wanted to bring up the past to see what this person's attitude is."
"You naughty boy." Xu Shu pinched his nose, "Don't make yourself uncomfortable."
Mu Jinghua pushed his hand away, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "I won't be angry for such a person."
"Okay, okay." Xu Shu stopped in front of a wall. "Don't bother with that old man. I'll take you to visit the capital."
"Visiting the capital?" Mu Jinghua's eyes lit up, "But..."
"Worried about Qiao Jianhong?" Xu Shu rubbed his head. "Didn't you agree to him at first because you were worried about me? Now that I'm fine, do you still need to take care of him?"
Mu Jinghua blinked his eyes and thought that what Xu Shu said made sense for a moment, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was wrong for some reason. He wanted to say something more, but Xu Shu hugged him by the waist.
Xu Shu held Mu Jinghua in one hand and climbed up the wall with the other hand. Before Mu Jinghua could come to his senses, he had already climbed out of the Mu Mansion.
I don’t know if it was good luck or what, but as soon as I turned the corner and came out, I saw a bustling night market. The lanterns were bright and the voices were bustling. Mu Jinghua’s eyes lit up and what he wanted to say just now was forgotten.
"How do you feel about the comparison between Beijing and Yuzhou?" Xu Shu took a look at the surrounding stalls. At least there were more varieties than in Yuzhou City.
As he was talking, he caught a glimpse of a small stall and fell in love with the jade hairpin on the stall at first sight. He then put it on Mu Jinghua and then took out some silver coins and handed them to the stall owner.
Mu Jinghua was still thinking about Xu Shu's question, and answered seriously: "If you just look at the stalls..."
"it is good."
Xu Shu was handing money to the stall owner. When he heard Mu Jinghua change the subject, he couldn't help but turn around and smile at him: "What's good?"
"Hello." Mu Jinghua smiled sweetly at him and reached out to touch the hairpin on her head, "What is it..."
"Don't pick it." Xu Shu hurriedly pulled him back, "It looks good."
Mu Jinghua put his hand down obediently, but he still muttered: "I haven't even seen what it looks like."
The stall owner thought he was unwilling to return the gift, so he said hurriedly, "Young Master, this is a gift from your husband, so it's good anyway, isn't it?"
"Besides, you are a young master, and you look beautiful in anything you wear. This hairpin on your head should be a blessing for it."
Mu Jinghua felt a little embarrassed and shook Xu Shu's clothes.
Xu Shu followed the stall owner's words and said, "So, young man, would you allow me to give you this hairpin?"
"Of course you're giving it to me..." Mu Jinghua realized belatedly that Xu Shu was teasing him, and he couldn't help but choke. But then he met the expectant eyes of the stall owner and gritted his teeth and whispered, "Xu Shu."
“No need to look for it.” Xu Shu happily waved his hand, put his arm around Mu Xiaolangjun’s waist and continued to stroll deeper into the night market.
After walking around the entire night market, Mu Jinghua was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes.
After all, it was tiring from traveling by boat and the roads in ancient times were bumpy. After traveling for nearly a month and being all alone, he was naturally exhausted both physically and mentally.
Xu Shu carried Mu Jinghua on his back and walked towards a less crowded place.
Mu Jinghua was about to fall asleep, but when he felt the noises around him weaken, he suddenly felt a sense of loss. He opened his eyes and asked Xu Shu softly, "Are we going home?"
Xu Shu laughed and said, "Go to sleep if you are tired."
Mu Jinghua struggled and refused to close his eyes: "I want to sleep with you."
Xu Shu was about to agree when he heard an anxious voice not far away: "Master...Master, I finally found you."
Mu Jinghua recognized Ah Qiao's voice and subconsciously grabbed Xu Shu's clothes, and said to Xu Shu in a daze, "I don't want to go back."
Xu Shu's heart trembled, and he looked coldly at A Qiao who was running towards them and the people following behind him.
Ah Qiao also obviously noticed his presence. He was stunned for a moment, and then he politely bowed to Xu Shu: "Sir, our family..."
"Your family?" Xu Shu looked at him displeased and spoke in a cold voice.
After all, it was this person who came last time and almost ruined his good deeds.
Ah Qiao was frightened by his aura and was at a loss for a moment: "I...slave..."
"Sir, Aqiao was only doing what he was supposed to do. Why do you blame him so harshly?" The person behind him spoke up to defend Aqiao.
Xu Shu glanced at Qiao Wan and said with a fake smile: "This young lady looks unfamiliar. I wonder which family she is from?"
"Sir, you have a very bad memory." Qiao Wan winked at Xu Shu frantically, which roughly meant "I am innocent!!!"
It was not until Ah Qiao hurriedly ran back to the Qiao Mansion and told her about Mu Jinghua's disappearance that she realized she had been tricked by Qiao Jianhong.
Originally, she had met Qiao Jianhong and Mu Jinghua this afternoon and was ready to have a fierce battle with Qiao Jianhong.
Who knew that Qiao Jianhong arranged Mu Jinghua's accommodation directly in front of her, and asked her to spend more time with Mu Jinghua.
This certainly fulfilled Qiao Wan's, oh no, it fulfilled Xu Shu's wish.
Qiao Wan immediately wrote a letter to tell Xu Shu.
In the afternoon, Qiao Jianhong came to talk to her. Although she felt something was wrong, she didn't think much about it. After all, she and Qiao Jianhong still had issues like her marriage to resolve.
Inevitably, they had another quarrel during this period, which was normal.
Qiao Wan didn't think much about it, but was very angry, so she chatted with Qiao Jianhong until very late. When it was getting dark, Qiao Jianhong suddenly said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. Xuan Er, as a guard..."
This is what it means to relax.
Qiao Wan was not immune to surprise.
After all, they had been arguing for the entire afternoon, and Qiao Jianhong suddenly gave in...
But she didn't think much about it, because soon A Qiao rushed in and said that Mu Jinghua was missing.
When Qiao Wan heard that Mu Jinghua left because he was angry about sharing a room with Qiao Jianhong, she felt a chill all over her body.
Backstab! Naked backstab!!!
And now, she was still being treated as a coolie, and Qiao Jianhong told her in person that she must bring Mu Jinghua back.
Qiao Wan looked at Mu Jinghua, who was drowsy on Xu Shu's back, with a look of despair, and lowered her voice consciously: "We met in such a nice place like Mu Yi Building a few days ago, right?"
The implication is: There is no way I would not want the shares of Muyi Building! ! ! !
